Starting from Zero

Actually, what Matsumoto Masaka and Bingbing entered is not a real research area, but a waste hoarding place, which is equivalent to a garbage dump. Of course, the garbage here is a bit special, so we used a specially remodeled room as a storage room, but because we are actually searching for the technical achievements of the Russians, it is inevitable that we need to go through the boxes and check all the places where we can put things. Therefore, it is basically inevitable to activate the lock switch in the garbage storage room. It's just that Masaga Matsumoto and Bingbing were unlucky, and it happened that they met. In fact, any other team in this room will not be so embarrassed. The key is that Masaga Matsumoto needs to protect Bingbing, so the battle strength can't be exerted. If Bingbing is not there, Masaga Matsumoto alone can do it by himself, and there is no need to call reinforcements at all.

"Everyone is concentrated, so don't act separately." I said to Masaka Matsumoto and the others: "I just found their monitoring room over there with Ichiro Kakuda, and got here by the way. The structure diagram, then you just need to search as needed, no need to run separately."

"Thank God." Chi Fire Dragon Ji said: "I don't want to search room by room. , Need to find something, and worry about the organs or guards that may appear at any time, it is too hard!"

"Yes, yeah! It's too tiring to find aimlessly without a goal. !" Ying Yu Shen Chu also said.

Christina asked: "Where should we go now?"

"There is no need to go to the above ground, all of which are office areas. The important ones are underground." I said. He pointed to one of the passages and said: "You can find the vertical passage not far from here, and then down there is the real base."

"What is the real base?" Masamoto Matsumoto He Min sharply captured the key words in my words.

Kakuda Ichiro explained to Masaka Matsumoto: "In fact, the Russian research base is not here at all, but in the seabed. The position we are now in is just equivalent to the entrance to the ground. At the bottom of the basement of this place, there is a conveying channel. From there, you can pass through the entire ice layer and then reach the seabed. The real base is under there."

Can you reach the research base by going down the elevator?" August Xun asked.

I shook the head and said: "No, it’s not that simple. First of all, I’m not sure if the passage is an elevator. I only know that there is a vertical passage connected to the seabed below, but what kind of one is it? I don’t know the device. And, if I guess it’s correct, they should have cut off the channel."

I didn’t ask me to explain this time. Everyone understands what I mean. Since this castle on the ground is equivalent to the same place as the entrance, it naturally functions as a gatekeeper. We are playing in such a big fanfare. Of course, the other party is impossible to do anything. As long as the other party is not mentally retarded, they should think of cutting off the connection between the seabed laboratory and the castle.

In fact, this Russian design and our new continent research base have a common ground.

Our guild’s new continent research base is a rare ultra-high-altitude floating island, which means that it is difficult to enter directly from the outside, because most flying creatures cannot fly to that altitude. The Russian player’s seabed laboratory is also in a similar situation. Although it is not in the sky, the seabed in the Arctic Ocean itself is also an extremely difficult location to reach.

Don’t think that our guild will have Atlantis technology to run around underwater. This is the game world, not the ocean in reality. There are rare beasts everywhere under the sea, and basically the stranger the location, the stronger the monster.

The lower part of the Arctic Ocean belongs to this kind of strange location, because it is not only located at the northernmost point of Earth, but also covered with ice tens of meters thick, which is greater than the actual Arctic Ocean ice. The thickness is much exaggerated. More importantly, the depth of the Arctic Ocean in the game is much greater than in reality. In fact, it is not only the Arctic Ocean, all the ocean depths in the game are greater than in reality, and there are many trenches and seabed mountain ranges, which are far more complicated than the actual seabed terrain.

Because the Arctic Ocean environment in the game is so special, there are also a lot of monsters in this place, not only the number is large, but the level is also very exaggerated. If you want to move underwater in such a place, it is very dangerous, and you need to constantly deal with those rare beasts in the deep sea.

These deep-sea rare beasts plus Extreme Cold form a natural barrier with the deep-sea environment, and play the same role as the height of our new continent floating island, which is to prevent outsiders from entering through abnormal ways Its inside.

Of course, otherwise outsiders enter, you need to have a way to get in. The method adopted by our new continent floating island is to use a dedicated one-to-one Transmission Formation, combined with a space shield and space anchor, to completely block the space of the new continent floating island and the surrounding area, and only allow the use of dedicated Transmission Formation to enter. Unable to force transmission.

We don’t know the method used by Russian players for the time being, but it should be a method similar to ours to connect this ice castle with the research base under the seabed, just like us Using Transmission Formation to connect Isinger is the same as the new continent floating island. Anyway, most people have to go through this special channel if they want to go down. Of course, none of us here are ordinary people. Even if we don't use this channel, we may not be able to get down. It's just that we still want to use the existing channel more than we can. It's just that this wish is unlikely to be realized.

"Regardless of whether there is a connection over there, we will see if we go down and see." Zhen Hong said, and walked in the direction I just pointed out.

Seeing that Zhenhong has passed by, we will follow along. I don’t know why on the road after that. I didn’t encounter any interceptors, and Ling also sent me a message telling me that they have all returned to the training space. The people of the gods ran into the mechanical Knights and the mechanical Three-Horned Dragons we encountered before, as well as the heavy armored mechanical dragons. The mechanical units that were going to chase us directly fought with the people of the gun god at the entrance.

This news makes me wonder why the mechanical Knight did not catch up with us. After all, although the castle is not big, the mechanical Three-Horned Dragon and the heavy armored dragon cannot enter, but the mechanical Knight still Can move freely. But now they are all attracted by the gun god, which is convenient for us.

Successfully reached the location of the passageway marked on the structure diagram without any interception. This place has a wide downward slope, and the ground is covered with anti-skid boards, obviously for the convenience of materials and personnel down the mountain. Below this slope is a large space, which seems to be used as a transit warehouse, because there are a lot of messy things stacked here, most of which are worthless things, but there are also some valuable items and a few with research. Value things. Of course, all these things entered our pockets after we passed.

The deepest part of this transit warehouse, that is, facing the wide passageway down, has a tall wall, and behind the wall is the connecting room. But to get in, you need to fix the gate in front of us. This thing is not made of ice, it is armored steel with an impressive thickness. I used Eternity to poke a hole in it and tried it, and the thickness of this door turned out to be as high as eight meters. This is no longer a door, this is simply a huge metal ingot.

Considering the thickness of this door, we finally decided to open a hole in the wall. Anyway, the wall is the ice layer. Although the hardness of the ice layer here is exaggerated due to the temperature problem, we have Xiaofeng and Inverite here. It is not too troublesome to have them trying to melt the ice layer. Of course, this is the North Pole after all, so it won’t be too easy to melt. When Xiaofeng melted through the floor before, it was because the floor was not too thick. However, the ice layer that is more than ten meters thick on the ground is very thick. When the ice layer is thicker, it will transfer heat to each other, making it more difficult to melt.

Although it is very hard to make holes in this kind of ice, we managed to bypass the gate and drill into the area behind the gate after spending seven or eight minutes.

Because the ice layer itself has a certain degree of transparency, you can see the position of the gate with a small section of ice layer on the side under the condition of auxiliary lighting with illumination. When we exceed the scope of the gate, we can see that the color behind is different. After all, the gate is metal and opaque, so the light reflected by the illumination technique is different. The blue ones in the back should be blank areas, and the black ones are metal gates.

After confirming the location of the gate, we began to drill laterally in the direction of the gate. As long as we drilled through the last point of the ice layer, we could enter the back room.

I have put away Ivorite, only Xiaofeng stood alone and stretched out a hand against the wall in front, and in front of her palm, the ice is showing naked eye The visible speed melts. As the ice layer continues to melt, the channel we are in will continue to move forward. However, just when we thought that we would be able to enter the passage over there soon, there was a sudden chuckle from the slowly melting ice layer in front of us, and the sound became louder rapidly, and a large amount of rising in the passage was also instantaneous. white steam.

"en?" Xiaofeng unconsciously un'ed, and then put down her palm, and at this time the heat disappeared and no water vapor appeared in the passage, but we immediately discovered a very surprising situation . I saw a small hole on the ice in front of the passage, and this small hole was spraying water into the passage. There used to be Xiaofeng’s high thermal barrier, and the water was directly vaporized, but now after Xiaofeng removed the high temperature, the water flow appeared immediately, and with the emergence of the water flow, one after another spider appeared on the front ice. Crack like the web.

"Fuck me!" I only had time to say such a sentence. The ice layer in front burst, and then a lot of sea water poured in, but the water flow was not too fast, and I felt the water pressure. Not so big. Sure enough, the water flow didn't keep rising after entering. It only submerged more than half of the channel and then stopped rising, but we are extremely depressed now, because this is already obvious. The Russians must have severed the connection between this castle and the base below, and they did a great job, and they flooded the entire room with water. In this way, if we want to go on, there is only one way... dive down by ourselves.

"This gang of bastards, are you so awesome?" Kakuda Ichiro said angrily.

Masaga Matsumoto comforted and said: "Don't say it, if we do it will only feel better."

I also nodded and said: "If it is our base, I might Bombs will be planted in this place in advance. The tunnel can be demolished and others can be shamed at the same time."

"I now understand what happened to the Fulcrum City explosion at the beginning." Kakuda Ichiro said .

The Fulcrum City explosion mentioned by Kakuda Ichiro is actually the first time we lost the Fulcrum City. At that time, after we established the Fulcrum City in Japan as a support point, the Japanese side has been working hard to remove this nail inserted in Japan. After that, under the influence of Japanese players, we did feel tremendous pressure, and even appeared for a while. Can't hold back the situation. After the intervention of Japanese Divine Race, we finally lost control of Fulcrum City for the first time and evacuated. However, in order to prevent Japanese players from taking advantage, we buried a lot of explosives under the city before leaving. , As a result, as soon as our people left, the Japanese players had not had time to celebrate the successful occupation of Fulcrum City, and they all took a plane and bombed the sky together.

The big bang reimbursed tens of thousands of NPCs and players in Japan at one time, and the economic losses were also quite alarming. After that, the Japanese side has always called the event the "fulcrum city explosion".

I didn’t answer Kakuda Ichiro’s complaints, but said to others: "You all have diving skills, right? We have to go down and see, who needs to do some preparatory work first? Yes?"

I actually know that no one here needs to prepare, but because Kakuda Ichiro is present, I have to show that I don’t know enough about them. After all, Kakuda Ichiro doesn’t know about Matsumoto and mine. relation.

After confirming that no one needs to prepare, I pulled the mask down, and then dived directly into the water.

The hole that was just destroyed by the current was not actually because of the water pressure, but because there was only a thin layer that had been melted by Xiaofeng, it was unable to withstand the water pressure and was crushed. In fact, the room here is simply not completely submerged, and the water is only about 1.5 meters deep, but in the center of this room there is a large circular hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters, but because of the dark paint underneath. Yes, so it looks like Gates of Hell, quite permeating.

"This should be the original connection channel." I said with a communicator inside the helmet.

"Will there be a lot of rare beasts down here?" Kakuda Ichiro asked.

"Does this need to be asked?" Really red replied, and then asked me: "Shall we go straight on like this?"

"Wait a minute, I will give you some Good stuff."
