The sanctuary that Andaherr mentioned turned out to be a cryogenic hibernation chamber. Hao Ren had been listening to the demon hunter talking about the mysteries of magic along the way. Now that he saw a high-tech thing, he was a little stunned. But after all, he had seen similar things many times, so he was not too surprised by the facility. The only thing that surprised him was the name of the facility: cryogenic hibernation chamber, which reminded him of something he had seen on the spaceship.
Was this underground facility a part of a spaceship?
Lily was lying in front of the large glass window, looking at the movement inside. Her tail wagged unconsciously in the air. "Wow, it looks high-tech."
Andaherr came to the metal gate and operated the control device next to the gate. Hao Ren asked her casually, "Why didn't you go in with them?"
"This facility has been dormant for too long. According to Vogus, a machine at the core had shut down due to a malfunction in the early years. There was no time to start it at that time. Without the controller, the gate could only be closed manually from the outside," Andaherr explained. She was not familiar with the technological equipment made by the Tannaeans. Although the demon hunters had become familiar with the word 'technology' with the development of Earth's civilization, the Tannaeans' equipment was still too sophisticated. "Someone had to stay outside, so I stayed."
"Why you?" Vivian looked at Andaherr suspiciously. "I'm not suspecting anything. It just doesn't make sense," she said.
Vivian's doubts were easy to understand. Andaherr should not have been the one in charge at that time. Andaherr's spirit of sacrifice and the Ancattero family's trust in her were incredible. More importantly, Andaherr was not familiar with the equipment. Judging from her clumsy operation, it was obvious that Andaherr was not familiar with the equipment. Vivian thought it would have been more reliable to let an Ancattero technician close the gate.
Andaherr sighed. "Because I can cast the Mind Shackle spell on myself. At that time, the Shade of Chaos had already invaded this place. Many people were affected by the shadows, including me. We persisted to the shelter with our willpower, but we did not know when we would lose control. That's why I have to make sure that the people outside the door won't make a big mistake due to losing control of their rationality after the door is closed, such as cutting off the energy source of the life-support device. I'm the most suitable person for that. "
There were many details that Andaherr did not explain, but it was easy to understand why they made this choice at that time. Under the influence of the Shade of Chaos, personal thoughts and loyalty were meaningless. Only the person with the strongest willpower was the most reliable, whether he was a demon hunter or an otherworldling. That was why they chose to leave Andaherr, who was still fully conscious, outside. After closing the door of the cryogenic facility, Andaherr could free herself from the influence of the shadows by means of Mind Shackle, or even more extreme, kill herself.
Andaherr clumsily fiddled with the door for a long time before she finally found a way to open it. With a creaking sound of machinery, the seemingly heavy alloy door slowly moved to both sides, and a gust of biting cold air blew out of the door.
Lily, who was blown by the cold wind, suddenly felt refreshed. She could feel the breath of her hometown in the cold air.
Everyone entered the cryogenic hibernation chamber, and Hao Ren and Vivian quickly came to the nearest container. It was a slender, egg-shaped container with a metal base and an "eggshell" wall made of transparent crystals and a metal frame on the upper half. Cold air was constantly emitting from the bottom of the container, and the water vapor condensed into a white mist flowing under their feet.
Inside the container was a Tannaean with his eyes closed. He was immersed in a jelly-like substance and looked like he was sleeping.
"Cold air leakage …" Hao Ren frowned as he looked at the white cold air flowing under their feet and muttered. To a layman, such a low temperature in a cryogenic hibernation facility was normal because it was in line with the atmosphere. But Hao Ren thought it was a sign of a system failure. The real cryogenic chamber was just the egg-shaped containers in front of them. To maintain life, they only needed to ensure that the inside of these containers cooled down. Lowering the temperature of the whole room was obviously a waste of energy, which should not have been a problem in the normal design. So there was only one reason for the low temperature in this room: a system failure.
"These cooling pipes are seriously aging," the MDT said, finding the source of the cold air leakage. Refrigerant and jelly-like semi-solid substances were leaking from the bottom of the egg-shaped containers. "Activate the awakening process!"
Andaherr was already in the process of awakening. She stood at the console at the end of the room, releasing wrenches and valves through the manual control device. Due to the cooling caused by the damage to the refrigeration pipes, the console was completely frozen. Lily had to hold up the Flamejoy to defrost it. Fortunately, these controls were only covered with a layer of ice, and the things inside were not broken. With the sound of the air lock opening and releasing pressure, the egg-shaped containers opened one after another.
As the containers opened, a holographic image of the system appeared in front of each container. Almost every holographic image flashed with an alarm sign: the dormant vital signs are weak, and the situation is dire.
Vivian immediately dragged Hao Ren to help the Tannaeans who had slipped out of the containers to the ground. At the same time, she called out to the other demon hunters, "Hurry up and save them!"
At this moment, the demon hunters could not care less about racial hostility. One by one, they rushed forward to save the dormant. There were hundreds of members of the Ancattero family who had taken refuge in this place. When all the hibernation devices were deactivated, the scene suddenly became very chaotic. Hao Ren and Vivian dragged a Tannaean out of the freezer. The strange jelly-like substance was still hanging on his body. His body was cold, but Vivian could still sense the vitality in him. "This one is still alive!"
Hao Ren looked around and found that there were not enough people on the scene. So, he opened his Dimensional Pocket and said, "Everyone, pay attention. Ladies and wives, stay calm! I'm going to let go of the helpers! "
A few demon hunters looked at him curiously. Then they saw a few spatial rifts appeared around Hao Ren, and hordes of mechanical tentacles came out of them. These shiny metal monsters made a series of 'whooshing' sounds, waving their creepy tentacles as they floated toward the dormant nearest to them. It looked like a squid's nest, and Hao Ren was the nest.
Most of the demon hunters were shocked to see these monsters. Had it not been for Hao Ren's warning, some of them would have pulled out their weapons. Andaherr exclaimed when she saw the tentacles. "What is this?"
"It's high-tech, just like me!" The MDT shouted as it rose into the air and commanded with a blue beam. "First, bring the people outside to the ventilated area. Prioritize the ones I've marked. Those who are good at fire magic, help heat up the temperature. White Flame, stop looking around. I'm talking to you! And anyone else who is good at heating — "
Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet heard the MDT's command and immediately carried a huge lava ball out. Hao Ren quickly stopped them. "Wait a minute! Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet can forget about it! Your fireballs are not suitable for this! "
Lily jumped out with Flamejoy in her hand. "Can I do it?"
Hao Ren looked at the girl's sharp claws and the eagerness on her face. "… Forget it."
Lily stared at him. "You don't believe in my claws?"
"I don't believe in your brain —"
Lily did not look like she was capable of meticulous work. To be honest, Hao Ren did not dare to ask her to roast anything other than meat.
After the autonomous robots joined the operation, the rescue work suddenly became smooth. The frozen Tannaeans who fell out of the hibernation chamber were quickly transferred to the hall outside the cryogenic hibernation chamber. Hasse set up an enchantment at the door of the cryogenic hibernation chamber to prevent the low temperature in the cryogenic facility from spreading. Fortunately, although the hibernation facility had malfunctioned, the various safety devices built in the oval-shaped containers seemed to have worked. Although the hibernators' vital signs were extremely weak, almost all of them were still alive.
The hall outside the facility was soon filled with Tannaeans who were still covered in a thin layer of ice. The demon hunters and Hao Ren were still running in and out, and Wayne was also helping. Unknowingly, he had helped the demon hunters more than once. When Vivian noticed this, she couldn't help but mutter, "Aren't they going to walk together?"
Just then, Andaherr suddenly shouted from not far away, "Vogus is here! He's alive too! "
