Starting from Zero

"What did you find?" I shouted and jumped down. After passing through the big hole that was smashed through by Skye, it continued to fall for more than ten meters before touching the ground. What is surprising is that this is actually a mechanical room in an elevator, that is to say, at the position where we are standing. There is also an elevator under.

This power room has a set of electrical cable retracting equipment, and a large electric motor next to it. Dozens of cables are dragged to the four corners of the room through pulleys and winches, and then from the four holes on the ground. Pass through to the space below. Obviously this is a small cargo elevator, because an elevator dedicated to loading people does not require such a large space, while a large cargo elevator does not use a cable suspension structure but a mechanical gear drive.

"You all come down." After I shouted to the top, the people above jumped down one after another, while Skot and I found a metal cover on the floor and lifted it up. Open. This cover is about the same size as the manhole cover. Below is a vertically downward elevator shaft. There is a vertical downward ladder directly opposite the cover. It is hundreds of meters deep when viewed from here.

"What do you think will be below?"

"No matter what it is, it must be very important." Xiaochun said.

Vina suggested: "I think we should get the information we need first, and then go down to explore the environment below."

"There shouldn't be much information over there. Defensive force, Ling, you and Yeyue plus Xiaochun go get the things back, and come back as soon as possible."

"Understand." Ling and Xiaochun, the three of them, received the order and followed us just now. The aisle came down three times and returned to the top, and we took a look at the situation below. Although the elevator shaft is darker, this does not affect us.

"Let me go down and take a look first." Lingling grabbed the handrail of the cover and wanted to jump down, but I got hold of it. "Let Bailang and Xiaobai go first. They have an advantage over us in this kind of place."

After hearing my proposal, Xiaobai and Bailang immediately tore the hole in the ground. The huge crack then jumped down. Although the elevator shaft is vertically downward, Xiao Bai and Bai Lang can run along the wall like they are on flat ground with the help of powerful limbs and sharp claws. If you turn the camera sideways to shoot, you can’t tell that they are. Act on the vertical wall.

After Xiaobai and Bailang went down, Lingling immediately followed and jumped in, and Scott and I quickly followed. This passage is very deep, but instead of climbing a Level 1 ladder like an ordinary person, we bounce from side to side along the wall. Each rebound can drop more than ten meters. After more than a dozen rebounds, we finally landed successfully.

This is not a solid ground, but a small freight elevator. This elevator has no ceiling or walls, only a floor made of steel mesh and a few supporting beams. The four corners of the elevator are connected with four steel cables, all the way to the power room where we were just now. However, although we got to this elevator, we did not find the elevator exit. We have already seen it when we were walking down the wall just now. The passage above has no doors, which means it is a sealed passage. I looked down through the steel mesh under my feet. The elevator was only five or six meters away from the ground below, and the section below was completely sealed. The elevator shaft simply had no external exit.

"This looks like an abandoned elevator." Wiena said, pointing to the rusty floor. "According to the corrosion situation, no one has come in for at least ten years."

After listening, I immediately shouted to the person above: "Don’t hurry down, scan the entire passage to see the original Where is the exit."

The people above immediately stopped running down when they heard it. Instead, they took out their short weapons and inserted them into the wall to fix themselves in the passage, and then everyone started scanning. Someone soon found the original exit in the passage in the height area where he was located. It turned out that there is not only one exit. There was once a gate about six meters down from the elevator room above. As long as you stop and observe carefully, you can see very obvious traces of repair on the wall. The cement used for the closed gate and the original cement will definitely be somewhat different no matter how you adjust it, so the seams look very obvious. After about 30 meters down that door, the second door is the second door, and then there is another door that is so long apart, and then it is completely closed to reach, until the position of the elevator where we are standing is just the bottom door. . The opening directions of the four gates are all in the same direction. Obviously, there is a huge underground building at the same depth as the elevator shaft in this direction, otherwise it is impossible to leave an elevator shaft in such a deep place.

"Do you need to open it to see what's going on there?" Skott asked me.

"Of course, but we can’t drive them all together. Let’s go in from the bottom side. You take a few people back first, destroy all the monitors on the lower floors in the base above, and then find a way to block them. I live in the passage leading to here. I don’t want someone to make trouble for us when we go down."

"Understood." After Skot took the people, I started using my sword on the wall. Dig a hole. The marking of the concrete wall is very low, and basically it is completely chalked with a little effort. However, there is a brick wall behind the concrete wall. After we excavated the bricks, we encountered a layer of anti-corrosion protective layer. Behind this layer of plastic-like protective layer is a thinner alloy armor plate. Next is a layer of concrete wall, but this layer of concrete is much harder than the outer layer of cement, and there is a thick steel woven in it to form a mesh for reinforcement. However, it is useless for us to reinforce it. Unless it is made of high temperature resistant materials, our laser cutting sword has the same effect on everything. After all, it does not rely on hardness to cut objects, so hard and soft materials treat it. It's all the same.

Because we are afraid of being discovered by people outside, we cut the wall very carefully. We had just cut through the reinforced concrete wall when Skeet and Ling had completed their tasks and came back. There is still something behind the concrete wall, but this is just a thin layer of cement, even an ordinary person can break it away with a little effort. When I dig this layer, I know that it must have been dug through. This layer of cement is probably the outermost layer of material that will level the wall at the end, so it is so thin. I first carefully scanned the outside situation with an electromagnetic force field, and confirmed that there were no people on the opposite side and the alarm system before we opened the thin cement. After passing through the concrete wall, we actually entered a sewer-like environment.

This is a cement passage two to three meters wide. The wall where we enter is densely arranged with a lot of pipes and facilities, because we are afraid that these things will trigger the alarm, so we have to Digging down to get out of the wall. The walls on both sides of this passage and above our heads are almost filled with pipes of various diameters and purposes. The pipes on the wall look similar to gas or liquid pipelines, while the overhead wires are of varying thickness, but there are a lot of them, and it seems that all densely packed are wires.

"This is... the pipe layer?" Ye Yue asked, touching the pipe on the wall.

"It's not like it." Skeet said: "The elevator doesn't need to be connected to the pipe level. Besides, it doesn't look like it was rebuilt later."

"Don't guess. "Shuangxue suddenly pulled an iron sign from the wall next to it. "The one we came down just now is a construction passage. Behind this is a base. We are in a pipeline ditch!"

"Base?" Xiaochun took the iron sign in confusion and asked while watching: "Isn't there a base above? Why did another base pop up here?"

"Probably only the Americans know about it!" Ling said as he walked forward. "There is airflow here, there is probably an exit."

We quickly followed along, and after passing through a passage, we found a door, but the metal door was completely rusted to death, and we had to It was cut off whole. Passing through that door is still a simple cement passage, with rocks even exposed in some places. The entire passage looks more like a mine tunnel than a research base. The only difference from the outer layer is that there are not so many pipes.

"What the hell is this place?"

"The ghost knows."

Go straight along the passage and walk about two kilometers before it is in the passage A place similar to a rest stop appeared on the side. This place actually widens the passage and digs a bit bigger, puts some tables, chairs and benches, and nails some nails on the walls. There are a few large flashlights that are almost decayed, and a few pieces of excavation are scattered on the ground. Tools, there is a dusty ceramic cup on a table.

"Why don't I think this place is like a research base?" Vina picked up the cup on the table and looked inside and said.

"I think so." Xiaochun agreed.

"No matter where this is, I think it conceals a huge secret. The weird defense strategy of the experimental base above may be because of this." Ling said as he took the lead and walked towards the depths of the passage. We also had to follow along.

The passage seemed to meander forward forever, and we walked more than one kilometer in one breath before finally stopping. What appeared in the front was a collapsed passage. The entire passage was buried by rubble, but our powerful perception ability told us that the passage was open because the wind blew out from the cracks in these rubble, but it was very It's faint.

"Do you need to dig to see?" Skod asked me when he walked over to the rock. I was nodded, and he immediately beckoned the ringtone Knight to start moving rocks. Although it should be time-consuming to clean the passage, we are very strong. Moving rocks is like emptying a cardboard box. Naturally, the speed cannot be digging mention on equal terms with human hands. Soon the gravel was cleared by us, but the five-meter-long shattered belt had been collapsing downwards. We had to use an electromagnetic force field to support the roof to make the excavation proceed. Fortunately, the five-meter-long section that would collapse was no problem in the past.

After passing through the landslide passage, we walked forward more than ten meters, and suddenly found that there was light ahead. Could it be that the real experimental area has arrived?
