"Ah, ah, so boring. Didn't you say there were biological weapons? It's good for me to see one or two of them. "
Regis's grumbling voice rang out in the long and deep corridor. The youth hugged his sword and yawned, looking like he couldn't muster up any energy.
"It's better not to meet that kind of thing. However, when it comes to the era of biological weapons, it should be before the proposal for the Demonic Haze Soldier Transformation Plan. " Lucy said as she walked, "It was because the biological weapon development plan was stalled that they turned to the Demonic Haze Soldier. And it turns out that modified soldiers are much easier to control than biological weapons. "
"So this base exists for weapons?" Allen stopped. A section of the passageway in front of him had already collapsed. The rocks and twisted metal that blocked the way piled up into a small mountain, so everyone could only change directions.
Belmore sighed, "I always feel like this place has become a maze."
"In that case, it won't be fun." Regis said.
Lucy sighed softly, "The energy system of this base has not been completely cut off, so if we had opened a biological weapon before. It's possible that these weapons are still active. If we run into them in a labyrinthine place, I don't think it would be a pleasant thing. "
"Anyway, find the control center first. Only when I reach the control center can I understand the functions of this base. After that, it will be easier to find the Empress or to deal with communication with Earth. "
"But that's what you said, but now …" Allen stopped again. Not only was the corridor in front of him, but the walls and rooms on both sides had also disappeared. What appeared in front of them was a huge gap. Judging from the traces on the edges, it seemed that a terrifying explosion had exploded this place. Allen shook his head and said, "In this case, it doesn't seem surprising that the control center was destroyed."
"No, if the control center is destroyed, then all the systems related to it, including the energy supply, will stop. But now, it's obvious that the energy supply is still weak, so the control center must still be there! "Lucy was full of confidence.
"Then we can only find another way." Allen said as he faced the dark and empty space in front of him.
"Wait." Belmond stopped them and pointed down the gap. "I think I saw something."
"There's nothing. It's so dark. Can your eyes see anything?" Regis leaned over and looked at him suspiciously.
Belmond pointed at himself and said, "I have received special training, especially to see in a dark environment. As long as there is a little bit of light, we can see our surroundings clearly. "
"So what did you see?" Allen asked.
"It seems to be a very large pillar, about ten meters in diameter. There are many metal rods of different thicknesses at the top, and I can't see the rest clearly, "Belmond said as he faced the darkness.
Lucy looked at him in surprise and said, "You seem to be talking about the Rubik's cube energy furnace. In other words, we are right above the energy furnace."
"There was an explosion here, but it didn't affect the energy furnace. It's really an extraordinary stroke of luck. Do you want to go down and take a look? "Allen squatted down. If he looked carefully, he would see lights in the darkness. Although it was very weak, it indeed reflected the outline of a giant metal pillar. However, Allen couldn't see it as clearly as Belmond could.
"The energy furnace is located in the power room. As one of the most important areas of the base, I believe there will be a plan of the base in the power room. In that case, it will be much easier to find the control center. "Lucy waved her fist with a look of great enthusiasm.
"In that case, let's see if the rope is long enough. Belmond, can you predict the distance between us and the energy furnace? "Edward untied his backpack and began to pull out a coil of rope.
Belmond observed for a moment and said, "It's about twenty meters vertical, but we're not above the energy furnace. That big pillar is about four or five meters ahead of us on the left. "
"In that case, we'll fix it here with a rope and swing it over." Edward said, "Belmond has the best vision in the dark, so you'll go first. When we arrive safely, give us a bright location. "
Allen took out Qianjun, tied the rope to the knife, and stabbed it into the ground beside him to fix it. Belmond pulled the rope, tied it tightly around his hand, and made an "OK" gesture. Then, he took a few steps back, determined his position, and sprinted forward. He jumped hard at the edge of the gap, stretched out his hands and feet, and flew diagonally to the left like a big bat, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
In the darkness, there was only the sound of breaking through the air, and a moment later, a slight collision sound could be heard. Not long after, a dark red Origin Energy flame rose from Belmond's body, allowing the people above the gap to see where he was. Next, they used the rope to swing over one by one. Allen was the last. When he landed on the top of the energy furnace, he pulled the rope hard and swung Qianjun back into his hand along with the rope.
At this moment, a few red lights lit up in the darkness above the gap. Allen said, "Eh?" The red light disappeared into the darkness again, as if it was just his illusion.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing, there seems to be an audience passing by just now."
"Audience? It can't be those biological weapons, right? "
"I don't know, but even those things can't jump over such a long distance. Let's move. Ignore them."
On one side of the energy furnace was a staircase that extended all the way down. This was already the location of the power room. The power room was abnormally spacious, and the surrounding light was dim. Everyone stood on the energy furnace and felt as if they were in the void. Not long after, they found the staircase. Belmond climbed down first, and the others followed behind him. Allen was still the last to break off the staircase.
When Allen and the others found the power room, Garner and the others were still shuttling through the maze-like corridors. In the end, they accidentally arrived at a material transfer platform. The space here was open. Garner gestured for the team to rest here for the time being.
Buss took off his backpack and poured out a pile of things. This was some jerky food, but it had been soaked in the lake water when the exhaust pipe came down, and the food looked fated to be delicious. He sighed and said, "I can only eat it."
Fatty Drew took a piece and chewed it heavily in his mouth. "When I get out, I want to eat roast turkey!"
Garner smiled and took the dry food that had been soaked in water and ate it. Red Leaf circled around and said, "There's an exit over there. We can get out of there later. But Boss Garner, I always thought this ruin was very strange. I've never seen a ruin made of metal, and it looks very big, almost the size of an earl's castle. I wonder what would be hidden in such a big place? "
"What do you mean?" Garner looked at her and asked.
Red Leaf smiled reluctantly, "I'm thinking there might not be anything valuable in this ruin." You can see that we've been around so much, and what we've seen the most is metal, and it's rusty metal. This is a little different from what we expected. Isn't ancient ruins usually associated with gems, gold, or precious works of art? "
"But there are only monsters and iron plates here."
"So, isn't it better for us to retreat?"
Garner frowned and looked at the others. "What do you guys say?"
"Red Leaf's intuition has always been very accurate. If she wants to retreat, does she feel something dangerous?" Buss asked instead of answering.
Red Leaf nodded. "Ever since I separated from those people, I've always felt like I was being spied on. This feeling makes my hair stand on end. This place is too strange. Boss Garner … "
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out in the darkness. It was like the sound of fingernails scratching metal, and the sound came from the darkness in front of them. Red Leaf immediately retreated and stood with the others. She took out the two short blades behind her, lowered her center of gravity, and assumed a fighting posture.
Garner also threw away the jerky, picked up his giant sword, and stood at the front of the crowd. He whispered, "Light!"
Buss's fingertips immediately flickered, and a few balls of lightning shot out above everyone's heads, condensing and not dissipating. Through the lightning, Garner saw a pair of feet. Then the owner of the foot appeared in the lightning. It was a woman. Or rather, it was once a woman. Her abdomen swelled up like a pregnant woman, but her head hung limply at the side of her neck, looking lifeless.
This was clearly a corpse!
The corpse suddenly fell on its back with a thud. No one knew how it had moved just now. At this moment, the clothes on the back of the corpse suddenly split open, and a few sharp feet poked out from under the grayish-white skin. The blade-like knuckles moved to both sides, tearing apart the muscles on the back of the corpse. In the next moment, an alien creature crawled out from inside. It had a dragon-like head, no eyes or ears, and was covered in an exoskeleton.
Garner frowned and shouted softly, "Be careful, this is the monster Allen mentioned, right?"
The alien creature hissed at Garner and the others, and suddenly opened its mouth to spit out a stream of green water. Garner and Red Leaf immediately separated. Then, the two of them circled around each other and attacked the monster. Garner's giant sword pierced through the air, bringing with it a muffled thunderous howl. A ball of bloody light was entangled on the sword, condensing into a sword light that charged straight at him. The alien's reaction was nimble, and with a bend and a flick of its limbs, it slid away.
However, the red leaves silently stuck to him, and the two sabers swung together, pulling out a complicated saber light. Then, he retreated, but the alien suddenly fell apart, turning into a fine corpse on the ground.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, a series of "puchi puchi" sounds rang out in the darkness. It sounded like many alien creatures were breaking out of the parasitic corpses!
