Until they reached Area 22, there was no dialogue between the two. The brothers who used to talk about everything, at this moment, they have to guard against each other and can't even say a whole sentence, Gu Tie somehow popped up the words "the same bed and different dreams" in his mind, and then spat on it. Along the way, he didn't find the code left by Aqiwei, nor did he find any traces of someone passing by, Gu Tie began to be a little worried at this time, but the destination was ahead, according to what Lao Xiao said, it was not a bad idea to open the monitoring system to search for the flowers of the rainforest, so he unconsciously quickened his pace.

The words "District 22" finally appeared on the wall, Gu Tie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a faint pain in his internal organs, and his back was wet with sweat, but fortunately he could take a rest. As the main control area, the access control system in this area is as tight as the central passage, and the two minutes for Xiao Liping to be inspected seem quite long. "Hiss......" The two doors finally slid open, Gu Tie stepped into the door first, compared to other areas (especially Area 14 where armored motor vehicles are parked, Areas 15 and 16 as biochemical laboratories) Area 22 is much smaller, there are only three connected control rooms, "Gu Tie, you go to Room 3 to turn on the main power supply, I will turn on the active and passive defense system, and then we meet in Room 2, where is the central monitoring room." Xiao Liping instructed.

"Listen to you. Gu Tie snorted and walked towards Room 3. Two red emergency lights illuminated the massive console, and he sat down in his swivel chair and reached out to wipe it, but there was still not a trace of dust on the countertop. The nameplate underneath the device reads: "Solvay Soulex: PFSA2000000." Gu Tie understands that this means that the second-floor base of Panshen Wine Cellar is equipped with a giant fuel cell unit manufactured by Solvay, the world's largest fuel cell company, with an installed capacity of 2 megawatts (2,000,000 watts), which is enough to power a developed country town, and it is definitely an excessive luxury to use it here.

Although the Chinese have not been exposed to this kind of equipment, the more specialized the equipment, the higher the degree of automation, which is an immutable truth. He opened the transparent bulletproof glass, found the bright red start button, and after briefly reading the instructions above, he turned on the four switches next to the buttons in turn.

The big screen lit up. The two pressure histograms on the left are steadily rising, one for light oil and one for natural gas, and it seems that hydrogen is used to produce hydrogen as fuel for fuel cells. As the automatic ignition is activated, the temperature gauge immediately rises to 815 degrees Celsius, and the methane in the raw material reacts with water vapor under the action of a catalyst to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen pressure gauge soon entered the green area, Gu Tie pressed the start button hard, and with a low hum deep underground, Solvay Sulex's PFSA special polymer plasma exchange membrane began to convert hydrogen into water and electricity, and the current output by the membrane electrode spread throughout the entire base in an instant, "Bang! bang!" Ten thousand six hundred lights were turned on almost at the same time, illuminating every corner of the ring building, and at last there were sounds in the dead silence of the base, all kinds of sounds, the ticking of instruments, the beeping of motors, the friction of bearings, the clatter of printers, like a yawn after waking up from a deep sleep, and the huge underground structure was revived in the cacophony of noise.

Gu Tie covered his eyes, and it took a while to get used to the bright light. "Thank you. Xiao Liping's voice came from Room 1. Gu Tie walked over and saw that he was opening the defensive measures one after another, as long as he casually glanced at this weapon console jointly manufactured by the three major weapons suppliers of Lockheed Martin, Thor and Srop Grumman, he knew that as Lao Xiao said, this ring base was a truly powerful battleship. A heinous list of weapons systems slid across the screen, and the center tunnel alone was home to hundreds of firing points that could vaporize a commando squad of hundreds of people into water vapor in a second. "Is it all automatic?" Gu Tie curled his knuckles and looked at the iron shell of the console, "Is this guy reliable?" As long as it is a computer, there will always be loopholes, regardless of whether it is connected to the Internet or not. ”

Xiao Liping replied: "The degree of intelligence is relatively low, the host is protected in the radiation wall, and the reliability should be good." Okay, now it's completely safe, let's go to room 2. ”

The two walked into the monitoring room, which was restored to function as the power supply was restored, and the three walls were cut into hundreds of small squares by the projector, and the image of any camera could be extracted to the center of the room for three-dimensional observation through gesture control. Xiao Liping reached out and pulled down the movable keyboard from the roof, typed a string of letters and pressed the OK key, and twenty-four new images were called up. "This is the camera footage on the first floor of Pan's Cellar and on the ground, connected via a quantum network, and is safe until the camouflage wall is breached. Lao Xiao pointed to the progress bar on the screen and said.

Gu Tie stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a picture was magnified, and the camera in the hidden position showed the scene of the first layer of bunker, only to see that the area had been completely destroyed by the flames, the walls and the ground had been melted by high heat, and the metal had turned into a large hole in the floor that flowed into a liquid state, condensing into a pool of silver water in the rock, "Damn." Gu Tie shouted, "Is it the Brotherhood's Son of God who did it, how can humans create such a high temperature?"

"The camera system's sensor and solid-state flash memory can automatically record the effects for an hour, and you can try to play it back to see what happened. Secretary Xiao reminded.

Gu Tie slid his finger to the left, time began to jump in reverse, the scene did not change much, suddenly the picture was blurred, the flame began to grow in reverse, the Chinese quickly slowed down the rewind, and saw the strange purple flame peeling off from the floor and wall, converging into countless purple petals in the air, and then gathering in the air to form a purple flower. The building was restored to its original state, and although there were red flames burning, it was clear that there was not much damage, and the purple flames were the culprit.

"Strange color. Xiao Liping muttered, "Sulfur burning in the air will produce a blue-purple flame, but the temperature will not exceed 800 degrees, and it is impossible to melt the metal." Could it be a compound containing potassium ions? ”

"Nope. Gu Tie suddenly screamed like a dream, "No, it's not a chemical, it's not the flame of this world at all......"

Not long after entering the "world", Gu Tie witnessed the blooming of the moon halo mandala through Jonah's body, and the purple flowers bloomed in the night sky of the cherry degree, the cold and gorgeous color was unforgettable in this life. "W-How is this possible? Isn't this the unique spell of the fallen Darkfire mage Jeffta?...... It should be said that why can even the magic in the game appear in the real world?" The strong shock made him unable to move for a while, watching the moon halo mandala on the screen shrink backwards and disappear into the air, a blurred figure of a man standing in flames, and the camera failed to shine on the man's face. The picture suddenly darkened, the recording time was over, Xiao Liping turned his head: "What did you say? Is this the ability of the son of God?"

"No, Old Shaw. It's magic in the 'world', I've seen it once. Gu Tie shook his head slowly, and couldn't help but touch the small scar on the back of his neck, the location of the implanted biochip.

Old Xiao stared at him straight until he was sure that Gu Tie wasn't joking, "If what you said is right...... It seems that we have uncovered a secret, Gu Tie. The biochips in the ghost members' bodies are able to channel in-game abilities to the real world, giving them access to magical powers. ”

"Temporarily obtained. Gu Tie corrected his partner's statement, he dragged the picture backwards and pointed to a corner: "Look, this person is the one who casts magic, he is crawling on the ground, and then he is engulfed in flames, but before that he is dead, and the black mark is the plasma spurting out of his body." Something happened inside this guy so that the internal organs were shattered and the ears, nose and throat were bleeding violently. I guess the magic wasn't lent to him for nothing, it cost him his life. ...... This man seems to be a little familiar. ”

Xiao Liping said solemnly: "The information has been saved, it should be analyzed in detail in the future, now it is better to search for Aqiwei's whereabouts first, I will enter some characteristics to let the monitoring system automatically search, as long as she does not leave the base, it will be safe for the time being." ”

Gu Tie patted his cheek to concentrate a little, looked at Lao Xiao crackling and typing, and suddenly burst out with a sentence: "I know." ”

"What do you know?" Xiao Liping didn't look back.

"You've been using words like 'temporary', 'short-term', and 'until' since just now, and as an obsessive-compulsive person who pursues precision, I've never seen you use such imprecise words in a conversation. Gu Tie raised his finger, "There is only one truth." You're waiting for a moment to come, you just have to stall for time, so 'temporary' is precise enough. If I'm not mistaken, that time is the countdown day that 'The Betrayer' has been calculating, and it's so close, so close that it's measured in minutes. ”

“...... Why do you think so?" Xiao Liping remained silent.

"I'm guessing your mission is to keep me here until the hour comes, on the second floor of Panshen's cellar. Gu Tie stretched out his arms, "I'll guess again, the final time was just calculated not long ago, as soon as you got the result, you rushed from China non-stop, found me in Africa, and brought me to this place, and my appearance in Batangafu is by no means accidental, it was Matriel who arranged everything, and the war was just a pretense, he just wanted me to appear in Central Africa consciously and spontaneously, near Panshen's cellar." ”

Xiao Liping said calmly: "Is that so?"

"It's not over yet, I'll guess. Gu Tie showed a smiling expression: "I will appear in Central Africa at the right time, because I was knocked into the sea on the ocean-going tuna ship 'Old Man of the Sea' in order to save people, although I was rescued, my mind was shocked and fell into a coma." If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I'd still be hanging a big tuna on the boat leisurely, chatting and farting with those Japanese uncles all day long. Looking back, even if I was weak at the time, how could I have been knocked into the sea by a big fish and fainted? I should have taken measures to protect myself when I fell into the water, and it was not a flash flood, where were the wood and stones that could knock people unconscious? The people who knew who I was, the people who rescued me, the people who brought me to Africa, the people who were always by my side,...... The woman who disappeared after arriving at her destination......"

Xiao Liping said: "Hehe, then Aqiwei is also our accomplice?"

Gu Tie shook his head: "No, in a sense, your purpose is the same, but you are not familiar with each other, it should be said that you did not receive the same instruction. There have been conflicts, contradictions, and suspicions between you, but since you have also escorted me to my destination, you have not torn your skin for the time being. ”

"You're crazy, man. Xiao Liping suddenly lowered his face and said: "Everything I did was just to save you, do you know how many people outside want to break you into pieces?

"I know conspiracy theories are your specialty. Gu Tie leaned against the wall and showed a vague smile: "But this time I'll speak." Old Xiao, everyone has a habitual little action when lying, do you know what your action is?"

Xiao Liping said coldly: "I don't." ”

At this time, Gu Tie suddenly turned around and jumped out of Room 2, slammed the door with a kick backwards, and rushed out of Area 22 in two steps. His galloping footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and an orange-red web appeared in front of him, cutting off the passage entirely, and the smell of burning in the air proved that it was an impassable web of high-energy particle beams.

"Don't run around, I'm not going to shoot at you, brother. Xiao Liping walked out of the 22nd area slowly, pushing the gold wire glasses at the same time.

"That's it, brother. Gu Tie said with a miserable smile.
