Continue to descend, and soon Xu Shenxing came to the next floor.
However, this floor looks like a shelter. Although there are some suspected living materials piled up, most of the space is still empty.
On the way, you can occasionally see the airlock doors that have fallen down, but most of the airlock doors seem to be only used to separate the room from the outside world, and have not affected the progress of Xu Shenxing and his party.
Therefore, although Xu Shenxing was a little curious about what was in the room, he didn't waste time opening it to have a look.
"Dahei, can this thing be opened?"
It wasn't until an airlock door blocked their way forward that Xu Shenxing asked Dahei.
"An identity key or DNA verification code is required to open."
Dahei replied.
Hearing what it said, Xu Shenxing looked around. There is no transom like the previous floor, so it is impossible to sneak in through the ventilation duct.
So he checked the hardness of the wall.
Different from the previous collapsed floor, because this floor is a refuge, the surrounding walls are made of metal, which is very hard, and it is estimated that it can withstand strong impacts.
So he pulled out the stick, and looked at Dahei in blank dismay.
After a while, the shading film like an eyebrow on the big black camera was crooked, then it turned around and walked back on its short legs: "Mr. Xu, I'm going to check the status of the floor."
After Dahei left, Xu Shenxing opened the airlock door with two sticks.
Judging from the cut fracture, although the airlock door is not as thick as the superalloy door at the entrance of the research institute, the multi-layer composite metal structure can also guarantee its hardness and toughness.
Taking Dahei who came back after hearing the sound, the group continued to move forward.
However, it is different from the stairs on the east and west of the previous floors. Although there seem to be other floors below the refuge floor, from this floor onwards, the stairs are connected together, forming a square spiral staircase.
If you stand on this floor and look down, you can see the darkest bottom floor.
"By the way, this institute looks quite advanced, but it doesn't even have an elevator..."
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but feel a little tired when he saw that he had to go up at least a dozen floors of stairs.
Or just jump directly from here, anyway, even if it is a ray of consciousness in my dream, at the moment when Yunlin can still use it, such a height will not cause any harm.
"For the elevator, go here."
As soon as Dahei heard this, he immediately started to lead the way, making Xu Shenxing so bloody: "Since there is an elevator, why do we have to work so hard to find the stairs to get down?"
"Because you didn't ask relevant questions, Mr. Xu."
Dahei replied solemnly.
"..."
Could this guy be angry because he messed around here? Xu Shenxing murmured silently in his heart.
In any case, it is a good thing to have an elevator.
Probably because the person who designed the elevator here felt that the level of security was sufficient, and there was no need for identity keys and the like in the elevator going down from here.
Although it looks very shabby and old, the elevator does work.
Soon, the elevator reached the ground floor, the fourteenth floor underground.
After stepping out of the elevator, there was an empty room outside.
The size of the room is quite large, but it is unexpectedly not high, the ceiling is less than two meters three from the ground.
The ceiling of the room is composed of square cold light lamps, so the room is extraordinarily bright, but what is strange is that there is nothing in the room.
Xu Shenxing thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing strange about it. It would be impossible for him to hide confidential things in a place that could be reached by an elevator.
Moreover, he could clearly feel the thing calling him now—the other party was right under his feet.
So he took out the wooden stick again, and before Dahei could ask anything, he stabbed the stick to the ground.
Immediately, the ground was pierced by his stick, and a large-scale collapse occurred.
Xu Shenxing threw away the wreckage of the stick, hugged the animal-eared girl with his right hand, and held Dahei in his left hand, and barely managed to land on the ground after propping up Yunlin.
The ceiling is still the same, but at this time the entire space is much larger than before—there is a height difference of at least ten meters between the ground and the ceiling.
And what was in front of Xu Shenxing and the others made his eyes widen involuntarily.
In front of them is a high platform like an antique exhibition cabinet. The difference is that there are no anti-theft glass cabinets around this high platform. In addition, the things placed on the high platform are not antiques or the like, but...
one hand.
To be precise, it was a human's right hand, cut off at the root from the small arm. Because time seemed to have passed for a long time, it seemed to have been somewhat dehydrated and mummified.
There are some conspicuous scars on the arm of the right hand, and when Xu Shenxing looked at it for the first time, he felt vaguely familiar.
Then he reacted.
—That was his right hand.
It is this right hand that serves as the cornerstone of this artificial island, supplies energy to this abandoned city for decades, and causes the origin of all these causes and effects.
Obviously there would be no air flow in this space, but a piece of paper flew in front of him as if blown by the wind.
Xu Shenxing reached out and grabbed it, and sure enough it was also a page in the notebook.
But there is no date and weather on it, only a very scribbled sentence.
"I will become a god and bring divine punishment to this world"
"..."
Xu Shenxing's gaze sharpened.
"Did you feel it? It's worthy of being the 'matrix'."
White liquid gurgled out from the high platform, and then formed a human-shaped light group like a "soul".
Even without Yunlin's perception, Xu Shenxing could still feel that the opponent's energy field was rapidly condensing under the interference of that right hand.
Finally, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Xu Shenxing and the others.
The appearance of the other party vaguely has the shadow of Xu Shenxing, but the whole person is taller and thinner, and the crazy look in the long and narrow eyes is something that Xu Shenxing has never seen before—Old Xu's eyes are in the state of dead fish eyes 90% of the time...
"He makes me feel so weird..."
The animal-eared girl showed fear for the first time and hid behind Xu Shenxing.
On the contrary, Dahei stood there motionless like an ordinary robot as always, indifferent to everything in front of him.
"You're that Ronnie Harder?"
Xu Shenxing asked, shaking the piece of paper in his hand: "You also showed me these things on purpose?"
"Yes, I have been waiting for you for twelve years."
The other party let out a sharp laugh like a night owl: "You must really want to know what happened, but don't worry, listen to me slowly..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Shenxing's head was blown out with a stick.
But this kind of attack obviously didn't have much effect, almost in a breath, his head returned to its original shape, and he himself seemed to be completely unaware of Xu Shenxing's sneak attack, telling everything about his past Come on.
