The forty days of arduous trek and the extremely painful experience that no one can endure gave all three of them many insights.
Darkness does not only bring terror, but sometimes it also helps us understand ourselves better.
In darkness and silence, it is easier for us to integrate with the world around us, and we can better see our inner selves in a desolate and empty state of mind. Whether it is confrontation or enjoyment, fear or awe, it is a gift that darkness brings to us.
If for Erai and Bai Qi, this journey was a trial and tempering, but for Brother Xiaoye at that moment, it was a journey of sublimation. There was once a very long underground river section where Li Muye truly felt the gentleness and calmness of returning to his mother's body.
After passing through the dozens of meters long exhaust passage, the three of them finally came to a brighter place.
Lamps were embedded on the stone wall, emitting a dim yellow light. For the three people who had been groping in the dark for many days, this ordinary warm light became so sacred at this moment. So much so that Bai Qi and Eilai knelt down in front of the lamp in excitement.
Suddenly, I discovered that light is actually the best gift that darkness has given to mankind.
Without the bottomless darkness of the previous forty days, how could I have been so moved and happy facing the light of the firefly candles at this moment.
In this extremely spacious and deep space, a huge ventilation fan will be running at regular intervals. On the other side of the ventilation fan is the space where the dungeon is located. Elai introduced that the underground city is in the shape of an ant nest-like pyramid, with a multi-layer structure, and the space becomes larger as you go down. The top is surrounded by the exhaust duct that they are currently in. It wraps around the top of the tower. The exhaust fan's suction is used to suck away the waste gas emitted from the underground city, and finally discharge it into countless earth vein channels. The bottom of the city is said to be connected to the depths of the Southern Ocean. There are hundreds of huge machines responsible for pumping seawater and producing oxygen and fresh water to supply the city.
This is a city much larger than any super city in the world, and is managed by a group of blond and blue-eyed people called the Gods. The technological level here is more advanced than any surface country. The city's energy is provided by a huge nuclear reactor. There are many highly intelligent robots in the city, responsible for maintaining the operation of the city. Those who call themselves gods are mainly responsible for R&D and management, enjoying life, and reproducing offspring. They can precisely control their diet, so there is no need to excrete. Everyone has a fart bag behind them, and the exhaust gas will be collected.
The mayor of this city is Adolf Goebbels. I have only heard of his name but not seen him.
After entering the dungeon, you can keep your personal belongings, but you will be assigned a set of clothes and a number. You need to show the number for nutrition supply. The clothes are responsible for recycling the exhaust gas. Except for these two things, which must be strictly observed, everything else is relatively free.
There is a circular martial arts field in the center of the city. Anyone who enters here can enter and fight for the same freedom and power as the gods. As long as you can win ten games in a row, including successfully challenging three protoss warriors at the junior, intermediate and senior levels, you can join a mysterious organization and gain the highest level of freedom, the power to reproduce, and even the ability to see and enjoy the underground world. The result of the city's most advanced biotechnology.
After forty days of living in hell, the three of them were already in a terrible state both inside and outside their bodies. Evil came to lead the way. The three of them walked along the long and sultry main exhaust passage for a long time, and finally came to a place where the cooling pool was located. They took a nice shower first. Take a shower, get rid of all the dirt, clean the dirty clothes and equipment, take a good rest, and finally leave here after being fully prepared.
The exhaust channel has a special channel with the outside world, which is reserved for personnel responsible for equipment maintenance. The old horse knew the way, and took Li Muye and Bai Qi out of the exhaust passage, took the circular elevator and entered the glass-like transparent elevator shaft. They went down the bottomless elevator shaft and entered the second part of the underground city. layer space.
Looking down from a high position, this place is a huge primeval forest in the sky, which collects exotic flowers, rare plants and rare trees from all over the world. Photosynthetic energy.
E Lai said that the area of this second-level space is as large as three Taiwan islands, with a height of more than 300 meters. It is the most important food growing area in the underground city. The managers here are all robots, executing farmer programs and paying no attention to anything except farming and handing over food. So you don’t have to worry about being seen and finding out your identity.
By the way, the reading app I am using recently has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
The entire second floor space is interspersed with many natural stone pillar walls that support the space. There are some caves above, and the robot farmers live in those caves. They live according to the set procedures and follow the rules until the day they grow old and become useless.
The three of them continued down the elevator to the bottom of the second floor. Li Muye saw mountains of food being transported from here along countless similar passages. Soon we arrived at the third level of the dungeon.
This is the location of various factories. In the wider space, various factories are planned and built. There are those who process food, those who make tools, and those who produce clothing. In short, the daily necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the underground city are manufactured here.
Eilai stopped the elevator and said: "Uncle, we have to change into the standard uniforms of the underground city here, otherwise when we meet the robot police on the fifth floor, we will be arrested because we can't identify ourselves." As he said that, he put his head in front of He led the way and boarded a battery car on the side of the road. After inputting the destination, the three of them were quickly taken to the nearest clothing factory.
There is almost zero security here. Generally speaking, there are nine floors in the underground city. The first floor is the exhaust channel, the second floor is the agricultural and forestry production area, the third floor is the daily factory area, and the fourth floor is the light industry area. From the fifth floor The military industrial zone has only begun to have robot police. The sixth floor is the entertainment area, the seventh floor is the main area of the city, the eighth floor is said to be where the core figures of the Gods live, and the ninth floor is the nuclear reactor and air Water source manufacturing area.
This elevator can go up to the seventh floor, because entry below the seventh floor is strictly restricted for ordinary city residents.
Although Li Muye has seen a lot in the world, when he came to this place, he was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He didn't know where to put his eyes, and he wandered around looking for something new. I saw the set mechanical equipment working in an orderly manner under the control of various strange-shaped robots, completely unaware of the arrival of outsiders. They don't care about anything other than their job.
"These clothes are so disgusting!" Bai Qi put on the pink clothes Xilai chose for him. While resisting the use of the gas collection plug behind his buttocks, he frowned and complained: "Uncle, we men really have to wear them. Such a disgusting thing?”
Li Muye had already put on his little pink coat, and asked Evilai with a smile: "Do you really want to put this butt plug in?"
Evilai nodded and said: "It must be stuffed in, otherwise the robot policemen who go down to the fifth floor will not be able to read the body gas data and will sound an alarm. If they alert the Gestafa security team in the red sleeves, they will be severely dealt with. The rules here are Only pets and wild beasts will vent their body gas into the air. The last time I entered here, a white man who was traveling with me was unwilling to do this, so he was taken away and fed to big wolfhounds.”
"Oh no, what kind of fucking rules are these?" Bai Qi scolded and reluctantly put on his pink uniform as required.
Li Muye asked: "How can I avoid following these stinky rules?"
Evil Lai said: "If you win ten games in the circular martial arts field on the sixth floor, you won't have to wear these clothes to enter the upper echelons of the God Clan. I heard that you can also enter the eighth floor."
His grandma's, it turns out that wherever there are people, there are privileged classes.
The three of them changed their clothes, and Li Muye put the treasure bag he had brought with him close to his body. Personal belongings are allowed in the Evil Underground City, but some dangerous chemicals are not allowed. When entering the seventh floor, there will be a security check that you must go through, and the control will be very strict.
Li Muye couldn't help but ask: "We entered the underground city inexplicably like this, won't they ask us about our origins?"
Evil Lai said: "The people in the underground city firmly believe that no one in this world can enter here through informal channels, so the people who can appear on the seventh floor must be introduced by someone. The last time we were placed here through the Imperial Alliance I was introduced by an insider. This place is very tolerant. As long as you are willing to live here, they will generally not refuse entry and will indulge you in any of your preferences.”
He continued: "There are hundreds of districts in the space numbering plan on the seventh floor. Each district has many nutritional supply stations. Residents will be distinguished according to clothing numbers. They will first conduct a comprehensive physical examination for those who come here, and then According to each person's different situation, provide quantitative nutrients for the people living here, so that everyone here can survive in the most scientific way. Except for exhaust, no excess excrement will be produced at all, so the people living here Everyone lives a long life."
Bai Qi said: "You don't have to worry about food and clothing, so what do they usually do?"
Evil said: "In addition to taking in nutrients regularly and quantitatively, the rest of the time will be used to pursue personal interests. For example, some people like to graffiti and draw, and some people like to practice boxing and kick fighting. In short, you can do whatever you want, as long as it does not violate the rules here. , it will not be banned.”
"What is considered a violation of the rules?" Li Muye asked.
Evil Lai said: "People here are prohibited from carrying lethal weapons, and are prohibited from attacking each other privately. If there is a conflict between neighbors, you can choose to go to the square martial arts field on the sixth floor to resolve it. The most serious mistake in the underground city is to hold group gatherings. Once If found, it is likely to be destroyed by collective humanity. Generally, gatherings of more than five people and less than ten people need to be reported to the nearby robot police. Gatherings of more than ten people are absolutely prohibited. Once it happens, the Gestafa Guards will be alerted."
The three of them continued to take the elevator down. When they passed the fifth floor, a blond white girl came up from the elevator. She was tall and plump, with a round waist. She also wore a pink uniform, but the difference was that she had an extra one on her head. A black beret with a red sleeve band on the arm with a swastika woven on it.
As soon as she came in, a stench hit her nostrils. A pair of big dark blue eyes looked at the three of them arrogantly. She first looked at Xi Lai, shook her head slightly, and then looked at a certain middle-aged man. The young fair-faced boy, who was also not interested, finally fixed his eyes on the tall, handsome and elegant Bai Qi, and said in a very majestic tone in English: "New resident, take off your pants, I want to check your gas collection plug!"
