Chapter 393: In the Darkness (Part 1)

"Ah, it's so boring. Didn't it say that there are biological weapons? It's good to have one or two for me to see."

Regis complained in the long and far-reaching corridor, and the young man held his sword and yawned, looking weak.

"It's better not to encounter that kind of thing. But when it comes to the era of biological weapons development, it should be before the proposal of the magic soldier transformation plan." Lucy said while walking: "At that time, it was because the biological weapon development plan was stranded. Turn to the development of magic soldiers. And the facts have proved that the transformation of soldiers is much easier to control than biological weapons."

"So this base exists for the development of weapons?" Allen stopped, and a section of the passage in front had collapsed. The rocks and twisted metal that blocked the way formed a hill, so everyone had to divert.

Belmode sighed: "I always feel like this place has become a maze."

"That would be no fun," Regis said.

Lucy sighed softly: "The energy system of this base has not been completely cut off, so if biological weapons were developed before, it is possible that these weapons are still active. If they collide in a maze-like place, I don't think it will It's a joy."

"In short, find the control center first. Only when I reach the control center can I understand the function of this base. After that, it will be easier to find the queen or deal with the communication with the earth."

"But that's what I said, but now..." Allen stopped again, not only the corridor in front of him, but also the walls and rooms on both sides disappeared. There was a huge gap in front of them. Judging from the traces on the edge, it seemed that a terrible explosion had occurred, blowing this place apart. 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, all systems related to it, including the energy supply, will stop. But right now, the energy supply is obviously still weak, so the control center must still be there!" Lucy was full of confidence.

"Then we can only find another way." Facing the dark and empty space in front of him, Allen said.

"Wait." Belmode stopped them and pointed down the gap: "I seem to see something."

"There's nothing, can you see things with your eyes in such darkness?" Regis leaned over and looked at Belmode suspiciously.

Belmode pointed to himself and said: "I have received special training, especially seeing in dim environments. As long as there is a little faint light, I can see the surrounding environment clearly.

"

"So what did you see?" Allen asked.

"It seems to be a very large pillar with a diameter of about ten meters. There are many metal rods of different thicknesses on the top, and more can't be seen clearly." Facing the darkness, Belmode described it as above.

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 not ordinary luck. Then, do you want to go down and have a look?" Allen squatted down. If you look carefully, there will be regular lights in the darkness. Although it was very faint, it really reflected the outline of a huge metal pillar. It's just that Allen can't see too clearly like Belmode.

"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 floor 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, A look of great drive.

"In that case, let's see if the rope is long enough. Belmode, can you predict the distance between us and the energy furnace?" Edward unfastened his rucksack and began to pull out a roll of rope from inside.

Belmode observed for a while, and said: "There is a vertical distance of less than 20 meters, but we are not above the energy furnace. The big pillar is about four or five meters in front of us on the left."

"In that case, let's fix it here with a rope, and then use the rope to swing across." Edward said: "Belmode has the best eyesight in a dark environment, so you will go there first. When you arrive safely, give us the light." position."

Allen took out Qianjun, tied the rope to the knife, and tied it into the ground next to it to fix it. Belmode pulled the rope, wrapped it around his hand and tied it tightly, and gestured "ok". Then take a few steps back, determine the position, and then run up and sprint. Leaping vigorously on the edge of the gap, he stretched his hands and feet, slanted towards the left front like a big bat, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

In the darkness, there was only the sound of breaking through the air, and after a while, there was a slight knocking sound. Not long after, a dark red flame of source power rose from Belmod's body, allowing everyone above the gap to see clearly where he was. Next, they used the rope to swing over one by one. Allen was the last one. After he fell to the top of the energy furnace, he pulled the rope vigorously, swung Qian Jun up, and fell back into his hand together with the rope.

At this time, a few red lights lit up in the darkness above the gap. Allen let out a "huh", and the red light disappeared into the darkness again, as if it was just his illusion.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"It's nothing, there seems to be an audience passing by just now."

"Audience? Could it be those biological weapons?"

"I don't know, but even those things can't jump over such a long distance. Let's act and ignore them."

There is a well ladder on one side of the energy furnace, which extends to the bottom. This is already where the power room is, and the power room is extremely empty, and the surrounding light is dim. Everyone stood on the energy furnace, feeling like they were in the void. It didn't take long for them to find the well ladder. Belmode climbed down first, and everyone followed him one after another. Alan was still behind.

When Allen and the others found the power room, Garner and his party were still shuttling through the maze-like corridors, and finally they bumped into a material transfer platform by mistake. The space here is open, and Kano made a gesture, and the team rested here temporarily.

Bass took off the rucksack and poured out a bunch of things from it. This is some kind of food like jerky, but after soaking in the lake water when the exhaust pipe comes down, the food doesn't look delicious. He sighed and said, "I can only eat what I have."

Fatty Drew took a piece, chewed it heavily in his mouth and said, "After I get out, I want to eat roast turkey!"

Jiana smiled slightly, and took the dry food soaked in water and ate it. Hongye turned around and said, "There is an exit over there, we can go out there later. But Boss Kano, I always think this ruin is very strange. I have never seen a ruin made of metal. , and it looks very big, almost as big as an earl's castle. I don't know what is hidden in such a big place?"

"What do you mean?" Kano asked, looking at her.

Hongye smiled, and the smile was a bit forced: "I was thinking, maybe there is nothing valuable in this ruin. As you can see, we have traveled around so much, and the most we see is metal, and it is still rusty metal .This is a bit different from what we expected before, aren’t ancient ruins usually associated with gems, gold or precious works of art?”

"But there are only monsters and iron plates here."

"So, should we retreat?"

Jiana frowned, looked at the others and said, "What do you say?"

"Hongye's intuition has always been very accurate. If she wants to quit, does she feel something dangerous?" Bass asked without answering.

Hongye nodded: "Ever since I was separated from those people, I always have a feeling of being spied on. This feeling makes me creepy, this place is too weird. Boss Kano..."

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the darkness. It sounded like fingernails on metal, coming from the darkness ahead of them. Hongye immediately stepped back and stood with everyone. She took out the two short blades behind her, lowered her center of gravity, and assumed a fighting posture.

Jiana also threw away the jerky, picked up his giant sword and stood in front of the crowd, whispering: "Light!"

Buzz's fingertips flickered immediately, and a few balls of electric light popped up and distributed over the heads of everyone, congealing and not dispersing. Through the lightning, Kano saw a pair of feet. Then the owner of the foot appeared in the lightning, it was a woman. Or it used to be a woman, her belly swelled up like a pregnant woman, but her head was hanging softly on the side of her neck, looking lifeless.

This is clearly a corpse!

The corpse suddenly fell on its back with a plop, and no one knew how it moved just now. At this moment, the clothes on the corpse's back suddenly tore apart, and several sharp limbs protruded from under the pale skin. The blade-like limbs swiped to the sides, tearing apart the muscles on the corpse's back. The next moment, a strange-shaped creature crawled out of it. It has a dragon-like head, no eyes and ears, and is covered with an exoskeleton.

Kano frowned, and said softly, "Be careful, this is the monster Allen said."

The alien creature neighed at Jiana and the others, and suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of green water. Kano and Hongye immediately separated, and then the two went around to one side, and then attacked the monster in a roundabout way. Jiana's giant sword pierced through the air, bringing out a roar like thunder, and a mass of bloody light was entangled on the sword, condensing into a sword light and attacking straight. The alien's reaction was flexible, with a bend and flick of the limbs, it slid away.

However, Hongye stuck it silently, swiping both sabers together, drawing out a complicated light of the sabers. Then retreated violently, but the alien suddenly fell apart, turning into a pile of finely divided corpses.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sound of "Puchi Puchi" sounded continuously in the darkness. It sounded like many alien creatures were breaking out of the parasitic corpses!
