In the afternoon of the next day, after eating the fish tail in sauce and charcoal-grilled lamb chops provided in the canteen, the expeditionary fleet and the lunar base joint exploration team officially set off to begin the second full-scale exploration of the underground fortress.

In anti of the possibility of re-emergence of virtual space, they carry ionization blocking guns, which block wireless network signals in the surrounding space.

While they're not sure what kind of technology the Muses use to create the virtual space, they have peace of mind that they don't want to go through the horrors of being chased by the Bird's Beak Skull Man again.

The exploration team came to the gap in the underground fortress that the fat brother blew up at that time, that place was already the top of the underground fortress, if it weren't for the fact that they were trapped in the virtual space, in fact, as long as they walked a few more steps, they could see the entrance to the underground fortress covered by dense vegetation.

This is the closest entrance to the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and the joint exploration team entered the underground fortress from here, and because of the fear that the muse would be a demon again, Shu Yungui specially transferred two combat ships to hover in the sky and stand by.

The gate of the underground fortress has been unable to punch in because of the perennial disrepair, and the mechanical troops directly bulldozed the gap that the fat brother and they blew up, and a special operations team of nearly 100 people directly surrounded the gap, and the sunlight overflowed the room on the basement floor, and no matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods were in the blazing sun, there was nowhere to hide.

The room where they saw the bird-beaked skeleton masked man in the virtual space at that time was actually not the real place of Gu Jinjie's death, because Dai Yingzhi did not go to the scene to identify the body, she didn't know where Gu Jinjie died, and could only restore the scene according to the scattered memories of the electronic ghosts she imprisoned.

But there are too many people killed by those murderers, and they don't remember where Gu Jinjie died, piecing together to build such a virtual space, in fact, if you look closely, you can detect many flaws.

By this time, some of the furnishings in the room had disappeared, and it was a very ordinary concrete room, the closest room to the gate of the underground fortress, which had probably been a duty room or a makeshift lounge, and the passage of time had reduced everything here to dust, except for a few metal signs that had weathered so much that they could not be read.

The search team changed into the Coalition Government's state-of-the-art combat uniforms, which were supported by a high-rigidity miniature exoskeleton within the fibers, which made their operations extremely labor-intensive, saving a lot of physical strength for the long search work that followed.

The first floor of the space is too close to the surface, and the excavation and geological activities of small animals for thousands of years have caused water seepage and air leakage on the walls here, and even if valuable things are left here, they have long since turned into powder.

Now that there is no search value here, Shu Yungui ordered the ground support troops to bring in the light line, and arranged for people to stand guard in the place they searched, so as to avoid a sneak attack from behind.

The search team quickly ended the exploration of the first basement and began to march to the second basement floor, Tang Yue searched for the electronic design drawing of the underground fortress of the southern province of the Asian plate, according to the design drawing, the underground fortress is divided into three areas.

From the surface of the earth, the basement level 1 to 50 are superstructures, which are only used by high-ranking government officials, scientific researchers, and selected students to work and live.

There is a transition area between the fifty and fifty-first floors of the basement, this is the customs clearance area that Shu Yungui saw in Gu Jinjie's memory, there are heavy soldiers and a large number of weapons to guard, it is absolutely impossible for people without customs clearance documents to break through this floor, so go down to the civilian living area.

The living quarters are designed to be much larger than the upper 50 floors, and the entire underground fortress is in a pyramidal structure, and the area is larger the further down, because of the large number of civilians, but the small number of high-level managers and scientific researchers.

Even so, the volume of the civilian quarters of the underground fortress at that time reached a staggering twenty-five people per square meter, and the further down the city, the more difficult the living conditions became.

The height of the floors in the civilian quarters was less than one-third of that of the upper floors, and people over two meters tall could not stand up straight, but even so, each room was made into an upper and lower structure in order to accommodate as many people as possible.

From the fifty-first basement to the one hundred and fifty basement floors are civilian living quarters, high-rises

Personnel rarely come here, and below the 150th floor is the living support area, which mainly deals with domestic garbage and sewage, and large power supply equipment is also placed here, where it is filthy, foul-smelling, and crawling rampant, but there are still underground civilians who come here to pick up garbage and find food.

After Gu Xingtang's identification and inquiring about the information left by the ancient earth, it can be determined that the Institute of Artificial Intelligence is located on the thirteenth floor, while the family building is on the fourteenth floor, and Gu Jinjie's school is on the twenty-second floor.

This is equivalent to the moment from the moment of being selected into the school, human beings are divided into classes, and the low-level civilians want their children to become people in the upper class, so they can only expect to give birth to a genius child, but IQ is a certain hereditary, and the lower classes of the fortress have long lacked systematic education, and people are dull and ignorant, and their minds are degenerate, and it is not easy to give birth to a child who is extremely smart.

Gu Xingtang's family is the lucky ones of the times, although their parents are low-level civilians, but Gu Xingtang and Dai Yingzhi are both high-achieving students, and their son also inherited their IQ, and was selected from the lower level of the fortress at the age of six and returned to them, this kind of situation where a family of three lives in the upper echelons of the fortress is not very common even in a research institute full of high-achieving students.

"At that time, the house assigned to me was here, 7 buildings on the 2nd floor, a whole floor, I left the core facilities of the muse server in the living room, and the family building of our research institute requires ID card authentication to use electricity, and the ID information was transferred from the research institute after I was transferred, so there should be no electricity in the room, and I don't know why the original Muse server can continue to run."

Gu Xingtang pointed to Tang Yue's computer screen and said, "Actually, the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute was also revoked because of the involvement in the New World Project after I was transferred, and everyone was assigned to other projects.

"When the New World Project was launched, many people had a strong interest in the digitization of human consciousness, and the New World Project was obviously more suitable for those who wanted to escape reality than to take the risk of finding unknown human habitats on an immigration spaceship, and the news that Dai Yingzhi reported that the New World was incomparably unparalleled, and it quickly attracted a large number of enthusiastic supporters from all over the world."

Gu Xingtang thought of the grand occasion back then, and still felt scared.

"At that time, the first batch of places for us to enter the New World was limited, and many people were not selected for various reasons, including many high-level government officials at the top of the fortress, even if the New World Project was later overturned, there were still some people who were unwilling to wake up from their sweet dreams and insisted on contacting me that they wanted to get out of government control, so that I could secretly transfer their consciousness into the New World."

"There was a period of time between the cessation and complete shutdown of the New World Project, and as a supercomputer, it was easy for the Muse to bewitch a group of believers who were doing things for themselves through the Internet, so even if you left, someone would secretly help the Muse, and even let it participate in the subsequent immigration ship plan and the construction of the 'Thorn Goddess Energy Tower.'"

Shu Yun returned: "In this way, the muse also has a strong purpose in selecting believers, and it will specifically find a high-powered person to attack, for example, in the Hope Star Field, it bewitched Dai Xinjie, the chief of the special event handling department, and Dai Xinjie is one of the *** who can directly contact the special change human, and he can provide the muse with more information about the special change human."

"Every move of human beings has always been under the surveillance and control of the muse, and when we stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at us."

Cheng Sikong looked at the elevator in front of him, which had been sealed in the dust for many years, the elevator shaft was dark and he couldn't see the bottom, only the glass reflected his face, just like the human beings tried to peek into the heart of the intelligent AI, but what they saw was only the appearance of the human being.

"Even if she tricks an army out, there is no one on the earth who can serve her, it is just a machine, without the help of humans, it can't even do something as simple as moving its position, now we are outnumbered, earth

There is no power and no power in the lower fortress, what else can it manipulate to protect itself?"

Zhu Xinyue is full of confidence, after all, she is a violent Loli who can not rely on high-tech weapons, nor on mutation abilities, and can overturn the evil mutant with her bare hands, the first generation of the muse server is no different from dismantling the building blocks in her hands, as long as the muse doesn't make some messy tricks, she can definitely dismantle that damn server into metal ore, and let them go back to whichever field they dig out of.

Led by her, the morale of the exploration team quickly increased, and the mechanical troops coming down from the surface checked the status of the elevator, confirming that because the underground motor was stopped, the power of the entire underground fortress could not be restored, and if they wanted to use the elevator, they would have to pull the cable down from the combat ship, which would require at least a delay of several hours.

"Without wasting that time, let's go down the stairs, there are no more Birdbeak Skull Mask Men in the underground fortress now."

Under the leadership of Shu Yungui, the exploration team marched along the ladder, and every time they reached the first floor, the ground support force would send someone down to take over the staircase, this time the deputy commander of the expeditionary fleet had made sufficient preparations, and would never let the exploration team be left alone.

Shu Yun left him to go, and they planned to go down the stairs directly to the fourteenth floor, without searching the other floors halfway, and then returning to search the upper area after confirming the location of the muse server.

However, when they descended to the tenth floor, they saw a group of men in old-fashioned combat uniforms, wearing helmets, and holding submachine guns that fired at them without saying a word!

Shu Yungui and the others immediately dispersed, and in the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, Shu Yungui asked Qin Lang, "This is the person from your moon base?!"

Qin Lang hid behind the fat brother and said loudly, "How is it possible? We don't have such clothes in our moon base, this is the clothes of the garrison of the underground fortress!"

Clothes for the garrison of the underground fortress? Isn't that already an antique? Who would attack them in combat uniforms from more than a thousand years ago?

"Zhu Xinyue! Grab one alive and come back and ask who it is!"

Zhu Xinyue put away the heavy sniper when she heard the sound, flicked her wrist and pounced, pressed the soldier closest to her to the ground, and turned over to lock the person's throat in uniform, but she felt as if she didn't use much strength at all, but the person's throat bone made a cracking sound.

"That's not right! This is no ordinary soldier!"

Kwong Jiaping's eyes widened and he shouted, "They are not living people!"
