Chapter Twenty-Five: Dig into it
The Atomic Humvee finally turned off, and the car stopped two meters away from a huge totem pole, with sharp two-headed horns only two fists away from the cab, and the car would have been injured if it was too slow.
The string, which was instructed by Andy, stepped on the brakes with a decisive kick, nipping the Cylinder Brain's death charge in the bud.
"I'm just feeling better! What are you doing! He yelled dissatisfied. Andy barely climbed out of the car, his arm hurt terribly, and his head was also very unhappy, coupled with the terrible bump just now, he now fell into a trance after walking left and right.
In a daze, he saw a cross appear in front of him, with a man nailed to it, and blood flowed from the cross.... He wiped his eyes and looked closely, it turned out that there was a fresh Hekate hound corpse hanging on the totem pole in front of him, the guy was dented in the chest by the atomic Humvee, and then smashed heavily on the bones of various animals on the totem pole, forming a string of meat skewers, this impact turned the original white totem into red.
"We'll have to finish playing if you keep you cool!" String angrily accuses the tank brain of dangerous driving, but he doesn't care that there is nothing wrong with his actions.
"You guys, you're too fragile, look at me, this is the real future!" The cylinder head stretched out a mechanical finger to Andy, who was unsteady, as an example.
"Flesh and blood, mechanical...", ignoring what the two people behind him were arguing about, Andy looked at everything in front of him in silence.
Not far away, a huge cave was flowing clear water, and the cave was very wide, and although it was not very clear because of the lighting, the space was definitely for people to wade into.
There were three piles of corpses lying on the ground, one was a tribesman who had been killed indiscriminately, another group was a tribesman who had been bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and a group of Hekate hounds who had just been killed by the tank brain in the posture of crushing insects, and the corpses were all disintegrated by the high-speed impact and brutal crushing, and the worst one was knocked onto the totem pole and became a bloody sacrifice to the river god.
Someone might have fled, but it was too chaotic for Andy to figure out if there were survivors, and it didn't matter at all.
The Pip-Boy shows that there is a new progress on the mission, prompting them to enter the cave to make their next move.
"We've got to get in," Andy called out to the other two companions, who pulled over to a covered area of vegetation and took everything they could from the car as much as they could.
The cylinder brain only brought some batteries and conductors, and after being ordered by the string to help carry things, he reluctantly accepted the fact that he had to carry a package on his body.
The three men carried three backpacks, and the two humans changed into waterproof protective suits brought from the Great Dome, and walked all the way to the cave, and soon all three of them stepped into the river.
The water was cold and biting, not unacceptable in this weather, but a little cool. The cave is in the shape of a trumpet, narrow inside and wide outside, and after probing, the three of them found that the part of the water near the cave wall on both sides was very shallow, and the closer they got to the middle of the river, the deeper it became, so the three of them slowly moved along the cave wall.
Andy glanced back, and the tank brain was spinning its tracks to move forward in the water, and nothing did seem to be good.
"Interesting.... I thought you couldn't touch the water....", the tank sneered disdainfully.
"It's hilarious that this glittering body in front of you, with technical support from Rocco Industries and General Atomics, two major pre-war defense contractors, and joint military cooperation, would be hilarious if you couldn't do that..... It's not as exaggerated as the Sentinel, but it's up to the standard of a military robot, and it's not comparable to those fragile civilian robots. Soon after entering, the light had disappeared and the surroundings became dark, except for the subtle sound of the water flowing in the nearby river echoing through the cave.
Andy turns on his own beep boy, and the string also takes out the flashlight, and the light pierces the darkness. The cylinder brain controls his electronic eyes to calmly look at everything around him, his vision is still quite clear, and the built-in night vision device helps him see his surroundings clearly in the absence of visible light.
"I don't know what it's going to be like here, if the water ends up waist-deep, or we'll have to swim through, or we'll need to go back and cut down a few trees to see if we can make a raft to get into..."
"I just hope I don't go overhead, and if you tell me to dive in this environment, you might as well kill me." The tank brain pushed the splash forward without any emotion, but he quickly let out a startled cry.
"Oh?" He paused, which caught the attention of both of Andy.
"What do you see?" With that, Andy lifted the Pip-Boy and shone it in the direction he was looking.
Under the light of fluorescent green light, two concrete paths above the water surface appeared more than ten meters ahead, and these two paths were built with steps and guardrails, distributed on the left and right sides of the cave.
The railings were badly deformed and rusted, but there was nothing wrong with the road itself. The three of them hurriedly walked a few steps to the left side of the path and broke away from the river.
"Oh, it's so comfortable...."The tank brain pressed the track onto the road with satisfaction, although it was a little cold and damp here, but it was better than soaking in water.
Andy looked at the railings in disbelief, this is actually a man-made passage, take a closer look up and down, left and right, there are also many signs of artificial repair on the cave wall here, it seems that some large machinery has passed through the mountain, and once the cave was renovated from the inside to the outside at one time, leaving a lot of traces.
What a great project, pre-war human beings already possessed an extremely powerful ability to transform nature. There is also a vague logo printed on the wall next to it, which is almost indistinguishable, and you can probably see that it is a cartoon character.
"There's no mistake, this is it... The only way to enter the nursery that the brain said, which was supposed to be the inner national park spillout, should have been neater and clearer, I'm afraid it was in disrepair. "The string shines a flashlight ahead, the road still extends a long way in, there are some closed metal isolation doors on the side walls of the road, which are also as rusty as the railings, most of them are relics left from before the war to the present, and some lights appear above their sides from time to time, but they are not lit, and the lines may have long been aged and broken.
The trio continued to move inside, passing several decayed metal partition doors that they had tried to see if they could open.
The first door was so rotten that it was impossible for anyone to open it. The second door was locked so tightly that the strings wouldn't be unlocked, and Andy's attempt failed, and he lost one of his few hairpins.
"Let me come!" The Cylinder Brain raised his Tesla rifle and slammed a charge into the metal door, and the dark cave was completely illuminated by blue lightning, and the arc flicked in all directions, causing Andy Chord to retreat in fright.
I don't know what this electric shock triggered, but the metal barrier door clicked and opened upwards on its own...... They looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't dare to enter it easily.
Just then, String suddenly let out a scream, and she pulled out her gun and pointed it in the dark direction behind her.
Andy looked over, and under the light of the flashlight, something quickly climbed the wall and left, and seemed to be shining.
Since the thing was fleeting, Andy didn't have time to lock it in V mode, and no one expected to encounter something strange in the cave so soon, and for a while he didn't know if he should go into the dark room in front of him to take a look.
"Be careful.... Maybe the legends of those natives are not unreasonable, since there are so many terrible deeds spread here, it is likely that it is not as simple as a floodport. And it's really weird, it should be more cold and damp, but I don't know if it's my delusion, do you also feel that the temperature is rising? The tank brain looked at the two people in a suspicious state, and suddenly walked towards the inside of the isolation door that opened in front of him.
"This location is probably a utility room or equipment maintenance room, there is nothing to be afraid of.... I've seen a lot of it before. He ignored Andy's chord and dangled it twice, only to find some equipment that had long since broken down and all kinds of industrial waste, construction waste, and some household waste, such as the bottle of the sunset SAR in front of him.
Tank Brain remembers that he hated this thing the most in the past, in his opinion, this thing is a pure junk drink compared to Nuka-Cola, and I don't know why this thing sells so well in SA West.
He had passed by a factory built in the desert to the west and thought the big bottle had exploded.
Turning his head, a skeleton sat motionless in a chair, dressed in a rotting uniform.
