In the sky, dark clouds hung low.
In the Death Desert, a very rare rainstorm ushered in.
Raindrops the size of soybeans fell into the lake in the middle of the oasis, creating ripples on the lake surface.
Such rare weather caused the creatures in the desert that were supposed to travel at night to temporarily hibernate in their nests.
But, in an oasis of darkness.
But a group of people were braving the rain through a dense forest and touched the edge of the lake.
"No wonder so many players in Oasis Town have never triggered the mission before. Who would have thought that the target of the last step of this legendary mission is actually in the hidden lake."
A warrior player from the Phoenix Feather team looked at the lake, his voice a little loud.
The reason for this sound was that except for one warrior player, all of their group were equipped with a full set of diving equipment.
"Don't delay. The weather is really helping us tonight. We were still hesitant at first and wanted to wait until the selection was over before taking this final step, but now we can move forward."
The heavily armored warrior who was the captain had walked directly into the lake.
"Xiaomu, you stay here to take care of us. If there are any changes, please inform us directly."
"Puff puff… "
With the heavy-armored warrior taking the lead, the rest of the group, except for the light-armored warrior without diving equipment, all jumped into the lake.
…
"it's here!"
Almost five minutes later, the lake was about twenty meters deep.
The scout player was holding an instrument with lighting effects and obviously waterproof function in his hand. While shouting through the team channel, he pointed at an illuminated cave under the water.
The group of people showed joy on their faces, and then swam into the cave one by one.
Then, along the bottom of the cave that slopes downward, under the bright light provided by the lighting equipment.
They saw a square structure covered in silt and water microorganisms above the bottom of the cave.
"This is it, I'll unlock it..."
The group of people groped through the mud, revealing a door-like structure.
"puff!"
The Scout player inserts an instrument with a password chip into an interface on the door. The indicator light on the instrument flashes for a while, and a series of data streams flash across the screen.
"Boom..."
The door opened with a tremor.
"Sure enough, everyone come in!"
Wearing diving equipment, eight "Phoenix Feather" players got into it with excitement.
Then after floating about two meters up, the view suddenly became clearer.
In front of them, there appeared a passage that should have been designed through some special structure to prevent it from being flooded despite being deep in the lake.
"Put on your equipment. This should be inside the ruins. There may be defensive machinery and equipment!"
After climbing up the tunnel from the water, the eight members of the Phoenix Feather team took off their diving suits, then took out their equipment from their backpacks and put them on.
"Um?"
After changing the equipment, the scout player suddenly let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?"
the heavily armored warrior asked.
"This underground building can actually isolate communications. We can't contact Xiaomu and Yan here!"
The scout player frowned.
"Will it block the signal?"
The heavily armored warrior turned on his communicator and found a burst of noise in the long-distance communication. It was obvious that this channel had indeed isolated the signal.
"This is normal. Many ruins are designed to isolate signals."
"This just shows that we are indeed in the right place. An underground ruin that has never been opened up before, and it is also a laboratory-type ruin hidden deep in the lake."
"What we harvest today will definitely be very rich."
The machine gunner player had an impatient look on his face.
"Let's go, everyone, be careful!"
The eight members of the Phoenix Feather team no longer hesitated and walked along the passage with their weapons in hand.
…
"What's going on? Why was the signal suddenly cut off...Brother Dong, Brother Ling..."
On the edge of the lake, the light-armored soldier left behind became a little anxious after finding out that he could not be contacted.
"Aling, I suddenly can't receive messages from Brother Dong and the others? Can you connect to them?"
After thinking about it, I first sent a message to another member who was still in the town.
"No, I just lost contact. It should be that Brother Dong and the others' communication signal was interfered by the ruins... Ah, I'll go!"
The voice in the communicator replied without saying anything. In the middle of the sentence, he suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
The lightly armored warrior's expression changed and he asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's that red-eyed bird again, it scared me!"
The voice on the communicator answered.
"Fuck, I was also startled by you. I thought something had happened... The NPC mayor you were monitoring didn't do anything unusual, right?"
"Nothing unusual. The NPC mayor went back to his house to sleep and never came out."
"Well, that's good..."
The lightly armored warrior cut off communication and continued to hide in a hidden position by the lake. .
Since there is no problem with external communication, but there is a problem with the lake, it means that the signal is not blocked, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, he did not see that after he put down the communicator, the signal display on it flashed for a while.
This is a state that is truly seriously disturbed.
"boom!"
And when he shrank his body to the hiding position, trying to avoid getting too wet from the rain.
One shot was completely undetectable in the darkness of the night, flying silently and covered with sniper bullets as black as attracting souls.
It hit his alloy helmet directly from behind!
"-12938!"
There was a very slight sound, and the lightly armored warrior didn't even have time to react on his face.
He fell directly to the ground, a white light of death emitted from his body, and two pieces of equipment emitting white light exploded on the ground.
However, because he chose a very secluded hiding place, this white light that should have been very eye-catching was not noticed by anyone.
About ten seconds later, five black figures approached his position.
"Two pieces of equipment were actually revealed. Tsk tsk, they are worth at least four to five hundred thousand credit points!"
Big Pineapple looked at two pieces of level 50 rare equipment with excellent attributes, and laughed with satisfaction.
"Stop dawdling. The passage below can interfere with the reconnaissance beetle transmitting information. We can only follow it."
"Little Fatty, stay on top and be ready to respond at any time."
"If another person on the other side feels something is wrong and touches him, try to deal with it without making too much noise!"
Feng Luo greeted directly, and despite the increasingly heavy rain, four agent players wearing diving equipment also jumped into the water.
…
"Beep, beep, beep..."
In the lake, in the waterless passage, the scout player is standing in front of a thick smart alloy door, manipulating a silver instrument in his hand to invade and crack.
Players have equipment specifically designed for these ruins, which can not only crack the brain, but also activate the energy supply of the ruins.
"The defense and identification programs of this base's intelligent system are really a bit difficult to crack. It should be considered a high level among ruins. However, it is still inferior to the cracking skills I have gained from my talent!"
It took more than five minutes for the Scout player to sweat slightly on his forehead, but then pressed a virtual key with a proud look on his face.
"Boom..."
The alloy door slowly sank into the ground level of the passage, and several people felt a bright light in their field of vision.
"Wow!"
After the door was fully opened, what appeared in front of these people was a broad hall that was silvery white and had no edges as far as the eye could see.
In the hall, there are a large number of well-preserved scientific and technological experimental equipment, as well as many containers of different colors and some unknown instruments that look very high-end at first glance.
This is obviously a hidden high-end laboratory!
"Haha, wow, this base is so big... there must be legendary items!"
There was more than one person in the Phoenix Feather team, with excited expressions on their faces.
"No way, it's going to be so smooth. There's not even a mechanical guard guarding the ruins? There won't be any other means of defense!"
The scout player said with some doubts.
"Bang!"
It seemed that his words had an effect.
At this moment, the already bright silver-white space suddenly darkened.
"alert!"
In the darkness, the voice of the heavily armored warrior indicated that he had extremely quick reactions.
However, this reminder is meaningless.
Because, when the light dimmed, no attack methods appeared, and no guard robots appeared.
However, all the experimental equipment and scientific research instruments in the entire hall disappeared instantly.
Even the hall directly turned into an open space, with a height of about three meters and a diameter of five meters.
"What's going on? Where's the hall, the laboratory, and the equipment? Why are they all gone?"
Those cheering in the Phoenix Team had astonishment on their faces.
"You don't even know how to distinguish environmental mimicry, yet you dare to set up this laboratory!"
A cold, mocking voice sounded in the hall.
