The mysterious metal door was finally opened. On the surface, the cooperative civilizations are still friendly and harmonious, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging, and their small movements become more and more frequent.
Before the mysterious door that slowly opened, some people were excited, while others began to feel uneasy. A first-level civilization even left after the door opened. But most of them are still looking forward to getting more behind this mysterious door.
Although the flames of war are now mainly spreading in the An Empire and the Federation, those octopus people who suddenly mutate are becoming more and more crazy. Their strength and weapons are developing at an astonishing speed. Who knows if they will burn themselves s country? So in the face of opportunities that can be stronger and more advanced, there is no accident, and no one of these people is willing to back down.
Luo Xiaolou followed Yuan Xi, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, both 125 and Yun Xiao entered the space button. Their advanced level far exceeds what a first-level civilization can possess.
In front of them were Yuan Lie and Feng Jialing, and there were two hundred people who were chosen to go in with them. This is almost the least number of people entering in all civilizations, but Feng Jialing does not agree to bring more people in. Except for 20 senior scientific researchers, the rest are all excellent mech fighters who have been selected.
Except for the Federation and the An Empire, it is rare for such top leaders to directly enter.
According to Yuan Lie's intention, Yuan Che stayed outside, but for some reason, Yuan Che asked to go in with him anyway. And because of Luo Xiaolou, it was even more impossible for Yuan Xi to stay. In the end, Yuan Nuo was left behind. Of course, by Yuan Nuo's side were Xiao Yuanyu, who rarely expressed his eagerness to stay with Luo Xiaolou, and all the top management of the empire.
Even if there are some people who enter, the empire will not have no successors.
Yatesi and Tian Li were not selected, Luo Shaotian was in the accompanying team, Ling Xu and Yuan Xi's two assistants were deliberately left outside by him, and the tenth-level mecha was handed over to Luo Shaotian by Yuan Xi.
Muchen was selected, but before leaving, Arthur who was supposed to go back to the gray galaxy suddenly broke in, held down Mu Chen and kissed him deeply for a while in front of everyone, and only when Mu Chen became furious, Arthur let go He leaned into his ear and said, "I'll go for you, just wait for me to come back." As he spoke, he pulled Muchen out of the crowd, and dragged himself into the accompanying line.
Mu Chen looked coldly at Arthur who was laughing at him, and finally turned his head, as if he was too lazy to look at him again, but from the side, he could still see Mu Chen's bright red lips.
When entering the dark underground, Luo Xiaolou's chest, which had been calm for two days, began to beat rapidly again. Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to hold him tightly, and led him down.
Luo Xiaolou tried his best to suppress the symptoms with his strength. In the cold environment, the temperature of Yuanxi's palm became more obvious and nostalgic. Luo Xiaolou tightly grasped the original past, he had already arrived here, and now, he couldn't fall down at the last moment, in front of his lover, relatives and friends, in front of the door of success.
Luo Xiaolou wiped the cold sweat off his forehead calmly, and soon they stopped. Then Luo Xiaolou saw the scene that once made him breathless, that huge metal wall appeared in front of him with a menacing aura like a colossus in this dark underground cavity.
At that moment, Luo Xiaolou almost lost his voice, only felt an unparalleled shock. Seeing it with my own eyes, I discovered that the patterns on the huge metal wall are like weird and mysterious symbols, with infinite attraction. If you look at it for a while, you will get lost in it. It is far from the images on the electronic screen. of.
In front of this huge metal wall, people from all civilizations involuntarily lowered their voices.
The people of Artesis and Teles are in the most prominent positions, and the number of them seems to be more than twice that of the An Empire. Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden dragon St. Gerald standing in the front, thinking whether to let this stupid guy bleed out. If something happened to him, it would be troublesome to bring up his own child—because of the blood mark, within three years, the child would be inseparable from St. Gerald's blood.
St. Gerald, who came instead of his father, suddenly shivered, and looked around suspiciously and uneasily. Ever since he arrived at this damned asteroid, to be more precise, since he encountered that egg, he has been Has been in a state of bad luck.
Luo Xiaolou was also looking around, he could feel that Li Mo was nearby, but he couldn't be sure of his exact location. However, it was very obvious that Yuan Che had been a little absent-minded from the very beginning. Perhaps, he found the reason why Yuan Che must come.
The crowd in front moved and began to enter. Luo Xiaolou finally gave up looking for Li Mo, and turned to look at Yuan Xi beside him. The people around him were as handsome as usual, with unquestionable firmness on their faces.
Sensing Luo Xiaolou's gaze, Yuan Xi turned his head to look at him, and suddenly said, "Come back with me." Those words seemed to be pleading, but they didn't seem to be. That word is really not suitable for the past.
Luo Xiaolou clutched his chest and said without any hesitation: "Believe me, I want to come back with you more than anyone else." He is a selfish person, until now, he hopes that no matter what, he can live . Only by being alive can one feel the innocence and tenderness that the domineering lover hides from others; only by being alive can one grow up with the child; only by being alive can one continue to watch the green fat man tossing back and forth at home; only by being alive...
The first ones to enter were not two second-level civilizations, but a subordinate first-level civilization of Teles, a long-term vassal, so that even if they knew that the first to enter was the role of cannon fodder, they had no right to refuse.
The hundreds of people quickly entered the gate which was more than 20 meters high and 10 meters wide. After a white light, people outside could no longer see them. There was neither cheering nor screaming, and people outside could not even receive their messages.
After a while, the leader of Tres, Duke Mejia, smiled and said to St. Gerald next to him, "Your Highness, although there is no news, but the special life devices I installed on them show that they are not Life is in danger, it seems we can go in."
The two second-level civilizations, Artesis and Teles, entered the metal wall successively, and then followed several first-level civilizations.
Entering that door, Luo Xiaolou saw a huge hall that could accommodate ten thousand people. The whole hall was made of extremely hard metal, except for a platform in the middle, the surrounding area was terrifyingly empty. After entering the door, the soldiers of the empire immediately surrounded Luo Xiaolou, Yuan Xi, and the two His Majesties in the middle.
On the side farthest from them, there is another door.
On the platform in the middle is a metal table, on which a black ball is suspended. At this time, many people were surrounding the table and studying the console on the table and the floating bead.
Finally, a Teles officer pointed to the table and said: "Your Highness, here is a simple topographic map, which should be an underground palace. Our location is the first floor of the underground palace, and the door to the next floor is on the other side. One side. God, six full floors, did they hollow out the entire asteroid... ”
While he was talking, someone finally couldn't help touching the ball.
In an instant, all the lights in the huge hall went out. Yuan Xi held Luo Xiaolou's hand all the time, and said next to him, "Don't panic." Luo Xiaolou didn't panic. Compared with other people, his Yuanli enabled him to clearly understand the situation around him even in the dark. everything of. The moment the lights dimmed, he found Luo Shaotian and Arthur standing beside him and Yuan Xi.
Someone tried to turn on the lighting fixtures, but the lights quickly disappeared one after another.
Could it be that the defense device on the first layer was activated? keep them in the dark
Then, not far from them, a little light flashed, and then, as if that little light exploded, countless lights quickly radiated from the surroundings, turning into tiny light spots, covering the entire hall in a very short time.
Those spots of light began to grow larger when people raised their weapons, and finally turned into spherical shapes.
"Wait, it's not an attack."
"Oh my god, it's the star map of the universe!"
"... No, it's not a simple star map!" An Artesian officer said quickly, with obvious excitement in his voice, "This star map, this star map is much bigger than our most comprehensive star map many!"
In a word, let everyone in the hall be silent, Artesis is the fastest growing civilization among them, if it is more comprehensive than Artesis's star map, then the value of this star map is immeasurable up.
"Wait, this star map actually has high-level star coordinates!" shouted an imperial scientific researcher behind Luo Xiaolou.
Following this sentence, Yuan Lie quickly said: "Leave five technicians, and the first team will stay."
All civilizations have left human record star maps. With interstellar coordinates, they hope to reach more distant galaxies and more planets, which represent countless mineral deposits and raw materials.
And more people are going to the next level.
The passage from the first floor to the second floor was brightly lit, and the second floor gave them a greater surprise than the first floor.
The moment they entered the second floor, people saw the neat mechs and all kinds of weapons, which filled the hall on the second floor, which was also too big to see the side.
St. Gerald and the Duke of Mejia obviously did not have the joy of other first-level civilizations on their faces. After briefly talking about the distribution issue, each left a few people to collect it, and then walked forward quickly.
Luo Xiaolou looked at Duke Mojia. He was no stranger to this person. In Teles, Duke Mejia and his cousin Yafeier were obviously on the side of the alliance. But now Yueshang was standing next to Duke Mojia, with his head down, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and there was a woman covered in black veil next to Yafeier who had coveted the past.
Even at such a long distance, you can still feel that the slightly familiar masked man has been looking at this side with eyes full of resentment. Luo Xiaolou thinks of Su Lan who was injected with something by Shao Rong.
Luo Xiaolou's eyes quickly turned away again, not to avoid Su Lan, but because he felt some kind of danger. His intuition has become more accurate since he visited the holy land of alien beasts.
The second floor is obviously bigger than the first floor, and those weapons that can't see the side actually only occupy half of the place, and now they have reached the other half.
There are countless white operating tables here, and on the operating tables are golden eggs half as tall as a person.
"What is this? It's actually another rare metal..." A scientific research worker of a first-level civilization couldn't help being curious, and said while scanning, but still maintained a cautious attitude and didn't touch it with his hands.
Luo Xiaolou grasped Yuan Xi subconsciously, and Yuan Xi gave him a suspicious look.
The voice of 125 rang in Luo Xiaolou's ears, "It's not metal, it's just a soft metal shell, and there's some kind of life form inside! And, it's very familiar, wait—"
The accident happened very quickly. When the researcher was half a meter away from the golden egg, the metal shell suddenly shattered, and a flash of red flashed across. Only the researcher's shrill scream was heard in the hall.
People didn't have time to react, the researcher's position was only left with some pieces of minced meat and sprayed blood mist, and what appeared in front of people were a few red tentacles attached to a broken golden egg .
People quickly moved away from that position, and countless weapons were aimed at the shattered golden egg.
Then, the tentacle retracted, and a few seconds later, there was a soft sound in the quiet hall, and the eggshell shattered completely.
"Oh my god, it's actually an octopus..."
"A blood-red octopus?"
Amidst the people's discussion, the newborn octopus man with mucus had already stood up completely, about 1.7 meters tall. Compared with the octopus man Luo Xiaolou had seen, he was much thinner, but his shape was even weirder. No wonder 125 felt familiar, he was actually the mortal enemy of the empire, and he was obviously an evolutionary body.
The blood-colored octopus slowly looked around, and then, when everyone was watching him, he suddenly moved. However, many more shot before he could move.
The scene of the octopus being killed as people imagined did not appear. He jumped over the heads of the people blocking him at an unbelievable speed. He was shot a few times in the body, and thick red blood still came out, but there was nothing wrong with it. Does not affect his flexibility.
The octopus man finally landed on a soldier. The moment the people hesitated to attack, the soldier who was suppressed by him let out another scream, and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a mummified corpse. Correspondingly, the body of the octopus gradually became stronger and taller.
"He sucks blood!"
"No, don't let him near the weapon—"
But it was too late, the octopus who got the weapon avoided the attack with more cunning movements, and started to hurt people.
St. Gerald glanced at Duke Mecca not far away, and snorted. The young adjutant beside him was about to act. Arthur in Luo Xiaolou's body suddenly jumped up, with red hair, with extremely fast speed and the powerful ultrafine particle cannon on his shoulder, he cooperated with several other masters to surround the bloody octopus who kept attacking and killing humans, and finally strangled them.
When Arthur returned to Luo Xiaolou, he was panting slightly, and said with a frown, "Your Majesty, they have evolved again, and they are even more advanced than the most powerful octopus outside."
The young adjutant next to St. Gerald said: "It seems that in order to eliminate these two first-level civilizations, the octopus people have made a lot of preparations and plans, and those weapons are probably also prepared for these octopus people waiting to hatch. "
Mo Jia smiled slightly, "No wonder." These weapons may be very good for a first-level civilization, but for a second-level civilization, they are somewhat lower than expected, otherwise how could they be so generously distributed to others.
Hatching, hearing this word, everyone's eyes couldn't help looking at the console, and there were countless golden eggs on the invisible console. As if responding to people's attention, the sound of countless eggshells cracking came.
The nightmare is just the beginning.
Luo Xiaolou was protected by Yuan Xi, Luo Shaotian and others. He also condensed his energy into a protective ring to protect the people around him, and when he found time, he also used his energy to condense into a sharp blade to shoot at the bloody octopus man who was approaching.
The selected mecha fighters are all the best, whether they are fighting individually or in groups, they are excellent, but they still find it difficult to deal with the bloody octopus. They didn't dare to imagine how terrible the situation of the empire would be if these blood-colored octopus people appeared in large numbers in the war outside.
An hour later, all the people stopped panting, the bloody octopus were finally wiped out, and many people began to count their own casualties.
More than a dozen people on the empire's side were slightly injured, and there were no fatalities. Except for Feng Jialing and Yuan Lie whose faces remained unchanged, everyone surrounded the two His Majesties to rest and replenish their energy.
When people were considering whether to take the opportunity to have lunch, someone suddenly shouted: "No—it's not over yet, there are golden eggs!"
Everyone stood up and looked around.
It was only then that people discovered that the golden eggs that appeared on the operating table did not appear out of thin air. Several conveyor belts connected the operating table, and now, one after another, the golden eggs are being sent over continuously.
Because it was discovered early, and after another exhausting battle, the newly appeared blood-colored octopus were all wiped out. At the same time, people also discovered a terrible pattern, every half an hour, the conveyor belt will re-transport the golden eggs. As for where the golden eggs come from, there is no answer at all.
"No, we can't keep wasting time here." Duke Mejia said with a dark face.
"But we can't allow the unlimited generation of golden eggs, otherwise we probably won't be able to pass through here when we come out. What's more, there are still people on our first floor who are copying the star map."
In the end, everyone discussed it, and 80% of the people from each civilization were responsible for killing the bloody octopus people that were constantly being produced here, and the rest continued to go down.
People don't want to leave most of the combat power on the second floor, but if there are few people left, it is impossible to deal with those newly created golden eggs within an hour and a half.
Moreover, there is still a shadow in people's minds. If the octopus people can really adjust according to people's combat effectiveness, will there be more powerful octopus people when they come out
Some people also began to regret opening that door. If that door existed, it might block these mutated octopus people for a while, but now, they can only block it with their flesh and blood. Are their choices really correct
The people left behind in the empire were led by Arthur. He leaned on the weapon placement platform with his arms around his shoulders, and said to Luo Xiaolou and others: "Come back early, I will try to fall before you come back."
Led by the two second-level civilizations, they entered the third-level space.
This time, there was no weapon, no octopus, and no star map. They didn't even know how big the third floor was, because the space was shrouded in a vast white mist.
The instrument quickly analyzed that the white mist did no harm to the human body, and only blocked the line of sight. However, even the most advanced holographic detection system could not see beyond one meter. Moreover, the terrain on the third floor seems to be different from the first two floors. People walked cautiously forward for tens of meters to reach the edge, but they didn't see the door. In desperation, people chose to grope to the left and right.
Because the white mist blocked the line of sight, even if it was dispersed with weapons, it would soon fill up again. In the end, people acted in unison and walked to the right.
Now there are only forty people from the An Empire, and thirteen of them are researchers, and they don't have much fighting ability. Luo Xiaolou carefully spread out his energy to prevent unknown dangers.
Soon, Luo Xiaolou discovered that some places in the fog were thicker than others. He involuntarily took a few more glances, but was surprised to find that the thick white mist seemed to have a certain shape, and finally became more and more clear—human shape.
Luo Xiaolou grabbed Yuan Xi and was about to speak when someone shouted in front of him, "There are people in the fog!"
After experiencing the thrills of the second floor, all the people stopped in the shortest possible time, and gathered around the two second-level civilizations.
The voice also noticed everyone's actions, and quickly added with a little apology, "It's not dangerous, yes, it's a frozen person, with no signs of life."
People quickly gathered at the place where the man was talking, and there was indeed a statue-like man there. What made people feel more at ease was that no matter how you looked at it, this was a normal human being. Even if he broke out of the ice, he would not look like an octopus. People are so scary.
But the faces of Yuan Lie and Feng Jialing were not very good. The An Empire and the Federation did not join the discussion, because they had already discovered that the costume of that person was too familiar. Those were the uniforms worn by the soldiers of the empire more than 20 years ago, and at that time, the federation had already been incorporated into the empire, that is to say, they belonged to them.
Feng Jialing glanced twice, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The Thirty-seventh Legion that disappeared back then."
Yuan Lie focused his eyes, "I didn't expect them to be here."
The other person looked at the statue in a daze, and said to himself, "What's the matter, I seem to have walked past here just now, no one..."
Luo Xiaolou was also puzzled. Before, there was obviously no one in that place, but after the white mist thickened, a shape gradually appeared, and then a statue appeared.
Where did this statue come from
Then, people probed the statue with great vigilance and left after making sure that the person had no signs of life.
Next, people began to be more cautious, no longer distanced themselves from each other, and tried to get closer to their teammates.
People soon discovered that after the appearance of the first statue, many statues appeared soon, most of them were human, but later, a statue of a monster as high as three meters also appeared.
Later, there were more monster statues than human statues, and people's footsteps slowed down. Some researchers checked the ice layer with instruments and concluded that these solid ice had existed for 21 years. All kinds of conclusions are on the surface that the things inside are dead things, but none of them can appease people's panic.
What's more, it is in the white mist, and now it is a statue. Who knows if there is a living thing in front of it. Looking at the size, it is much more difficult to deal with than the octopus.
When people were discussing, a gust of wind blew from the front, and the white mist dissipated quickly, and the third layer shaped like a river finally appeared clearly in people's eyes.
People's discussions were silent. They saw those statues. If the white mist hadn't disappeared, they hadn't realized that there were so many statues, scattered around them.
Those three-meter-tall monsters clearly appeared in front of people. It was a kind of creature that had never existed before, and its ferocious appearance was shocking.
Why does the white mist dissipate? Luo Xiaolou was still thinking about this issue, Feng Jialing suddenly stopped and looked up.
And at this time, a screen suddenly appeared on the high white ceiling, and a person appeared there, looked at the people below with a smile, and said, "Welcome everyone to the eternal space."
Everyone looked up, Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou looked at each other, they were shocked, it was Ju Yuan! The former director of the Imperial Alien Institute was a person who specialized in arresting alien beasts, and many evidences have shown that he was a third party who infiltrated the empire. He united with Su Yun and Yue Zhuo of the Federation to provoke the relationship between alien beasts and humans. Eventually led to that cruel and protracted war.
At that time, Ju Yuan asked the humans in the alien camp to drug the alien beasts, destroying the foundation of the alien beasts, and the alien beasts killed almost half of the humans in the war. Although it was finally found out that it was a huge conspiracy, the war was on both sides. The scars caused in my heart are far from being repaired.
Even after that, Ju Yuan was still carrying out the "miracle" plan, planting eggs in the bodies of Luo Xiaolou, Yuan Che, and Luo Shaotian. Although, now there is only Luo Xiaolou's king worm left - the gnat.
Yuan Xi looked at Ju Yuan coldly, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes, and when Luo Xiaolou's physical problems were resolved, he could be dealt with here. He absolutely couldn't tolerate this person living, even in a corner he couldn't see.
And behind him, Luo Shaotian looked at Ju Yuan even more undisguised.
Ju Yuan looked at the crowd indifferently, and said with a smile, "Twenty-one years ago, humans and my pets had a war here. I have to say that those people were lucky to meet someone who could freeze time. Freeze them here. However, the frozen seal will disappear soon, and those seriously injured humans and my babies will be able to come out soon. I think you are out of luck this time, and this is my welcome The second gift, everyone, enjoy it!"
Turning his face sideways, Yuan Xi noticed that Duke Mojia's face was livid, and a deep look flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the connection between Duke Mojia and Ju Yuan was not as close as imagined. Back then, the two could have jointly explored this asteroid.
As soon as Ju Yuan's voice fell, the ice cubes of those statues began to melt, and the people or monsters who had no signs of life just started to move slowly.
"No, they're coming back to life!"
The number of monsters is much more than that of humans, and the monsters are obviously stronger than the bloody octopus. For the first time, fear and despair arose in people's hearts. Are they going to disappear in this eternal space
In desperation, people did not wait for the monsters to fully wake up, and started shooting. The particle gun failed to kill the monsters, but intensified the melting of the ice. Those monsters were slowly waking up, and countless monsters in front and behind surrounded the people in the middle .
At this moment, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly sounded in this space, "I'm afraid you are too happy. If I can seal them once, I can seal them a second time."
Hearing that voice, Luo Xiaolou was pleasantly surprised, and Yuan Che froze, and looked forward suddenly.
