This is the red light that flashes when a Foundation project is out of control. He has seen it on Icha Island where 1002 is.
Looking at the stairs that suddenly appeared on the ground, the crew members whispered to each other with worry on their faces.
Charles from the future pointed to the stairs on the ground and said to his past self: "Take your people down, lead them to the bottom floor, find 010 and then come out. This is your next task."
010? What is this? Some kind of relic
Before Charles could ask, the kitchen helper Ergus asked with a trembling voice: "Future Captain, are we going to disappear down there?"
Charles in the future was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to his past self again: "We must go down. This is not only to complete our time and space loop, but also to find something. This thing is very important."
"Wait, answer me first what 010 is. 003 is the god Futan, so 010 should be very powerful, right? Is it the one who created this time chaos bubble?"
"You'll find out once you go down there. Although it's a little dangerous inside, as long as you keep exploring, you'll be able to get out safely and eventually become who you are now."
After saying these words, Future Charles turned around and left with the others without looking back.
Now in this situation, Charles had no choice but to go down. After all, if his future self could come out alive, then logically he would be safe as well.
All the rats made way first, and Charles led the crew slowly into the underground stairs.
The narrow staircase was not very long, and at the bottom was a heavy steel automatic door.
Looking at the words on the steel door that was at least half a meter thick, Charles' heart, which had just been relieved, was slightly lifted again. It was hard to tell what kind of place this place was from the name alone.
"V4 Containment Site B2 Gate."
Judging from the previous situation of V12, those who can be contained alone are not good things.
Behind the steel automatic door is a corridor. The bright, almost dazzling light above the corridor makes those who have just come from the dim place can't help but close their eyes.
"I've been here before." Tuba said suddenly.
Charles looked at the cruiser Tuba in surprise. "Do you know where this place is? What is the 010 that Charles mentioned earlier?"
Tuba, who was holding a mouse, laughed. "I just said I was here, but I didn't say I remembered anything here. It's useless for you to ask me."
Looking at this guy's silly look, Charles sometimes really feels that bringing him out is a burden.
He ignored Tuba and continued walking forward.
Not long after walking, Charles discovered a coffee lounge for employees to rest. The coffee machine in it was powered on, as if someone had used it not long ago.
Charles poured a cup of coffee and was about to feed it to the mouse to see if there was anything abnormal inside, but he found Tuba holding a cup of coffee, drinking it and looking at him curiously.
Helpless Charles poured out the coffee and stood up. There was no need to test the coffee, it was definitely not poisonous. The buildings here were the same as those outside, and they had been maintained as before.
Thinking back to what Future Charles had said before, this time, he did not explore any other messy rooms, but directly looked for a way down.
The most important task at present is to find the bottom layer and get out as soon as possible.
Obviously, this way of searching was much more efficient, and soon Charles found an elevator.
"Ding Dong~!" The elevator carrying more than a dozen people slowly closed and began to descend.
Looking at the -38th floor button that lit up on the elevator, Charles couldn't help but be surprised by this V4 shelter. Building such a thing underground is much more difficult than building a high tower.
"Ding Dong~" The door opened, and a strong smell of copper rust hit me in the face. The corridor outside the elevator was very strange.
Half of the steel wall was covered with thick rust, but the other half was very clean and bright.
"Time is even more confusing here. The culprit who caused all this is nearby. It is most likely that it is 010."
"Everyone, be careful. It's possible that thing is nearby. As long as we find it, we can go back." Charles was the first to step into the strange corridor.
Perhaps because of the strange anomaly in this corridor, the crew members didn't dare to say a word, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
After walking for about five minutes, a large double-door building appeared on the left wall.
The door was not locked and was pushed open by Charles. Inside the door was a dark spiral staircase that spiraled downward. The middle of the staircase looked very deep, so deep that even someone with night vision like Charles could not see the bottom.
"Give me the flashlight."
Charles took the flashlight from Dipper and threw it directly into the center of the elevator.
The flashlight kept rolling and falling, but what made everyone feel uneasy was that there was no sound of the flashlight falling to the ground, as if there was no end at all.
010 is the bottom layer, so it is very likely to be below here.
Charles was once again the first to walk in front, but this strange place obviously scared some people.
The sound of "da da da" footsteps quickly faded away, someone was running away.
As soon as Charles rushed to the runway corridor, he saw that the people who escaped were the cook's assistant Ergus and the two sailors.
It was obvious that they could not outrun Charles. Before they had run a few dozen meters, Charles kicked them to the ground one by one.
The kitchen helper Ergus was lying on the ground, trembling all over, crying out in despair: "Captain, I really can't take it anymore, you might as well kill me now, this feeling of waiting to die is really too uncomfortable!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get up now. Didn't you hear what the first mate said before? You won't die."
Just as Charles used his hands to help him up from the ground, he suddenly saw a flash of purple on his right side out of the corner of his eye.
"Captain, be careful!" Gunshots rang out behind them, and the crew were attacking that thing.
Subconsciously, Charles grabbed the kitchen helper and did several backflips.
When Charles stood steadily on the ceiling, he discovered that what the crew shot was a translucent purple tentacle inside the body.
Although Charles rescued Ergus, the other two sailors could not escape the clutches of the tentacles.
The two people who were fleeing frantically towards the elevator disappeared just by the slight touch of the tentacles.
"Damn! Is this what Bandage said before: he's not dead?" Charles, with a serious expression, took out his flesh and blood revolver and kept shooting at the tentacles in the distance.
The skeleton bullets passed through it quickly and had no effect at all.
The next second, the translucent purple tentacle suddenly twisted its body and instantly turned into a purple lightning, shooting towards Charles with an afterimage.
