After entering the scarlet crystal elevator, the elevator began to descend.
Just three seconds later, the elevator door opened again.
Outside the elevator is the top floor of this black building.
There are lights inside the building, and there are windows, so the red light from outside can shine in.
However, because the walls of the building are all pure black and slightly rough and cannot reflect light, the entire house still appears extremely dim even though the lights are on.
The three of them walked out of the elevator.
“Hmm…” Coco turned over in Xu Xin’s arms, mumbled something, smacked her lips, and continued to sleep.
"Coco slept so soundly, it made me relax a lot."
Li Wenxi rubbed Coco's little head and said.
Coco would only be so relaxed when there was no danger.
It seems that they probably don't need to worry about any danger in this building.
The three of them looked around.
It's very quiet inside the building.
It was so quiet that no other sound could be heard except for the breathing of a few people.
Coupled with the darkness caused by the black walls, the room looks very eerie.
Fortunately, Coco's reaction gave the three people present peace of mind.
"Let's look around." Xu Ying said.
There's nothing fancy about this floor.
The entire floor is seven or eight meters high, but it seems rather empty.
The area is hundreds of square meters, with only a peculiar low table placed in the center.
The table is very large and round, with a diameter of five or six meters. It occupies a large area, but it is too short, less than half a meter high.
It's about the same height as a coffee table.
On the top floor, which is seven or eight meters high, it looks particularly small.
Apart from that, the entire floor is empty.
"This round table feels like the table that alien invaders would use for meetings..."
Li Wenxi walked to the round table and touched it tentatively.
"Huh?"
She uttered a sound of surprise: "Still a little... warm?"
Looking around, there were only black walls, nothing to see.
"Let's go to the lower floor and take a look." Xu Xin suggested, pointing to a slope in the corner.
The ramp is actually the alien invaders' staircase connecting the upper and lower floors.
The previous elevator seemed to only go from the top floor to the roof and could not go to other floors.
The elevator exit is now closed, and even if you touch it with your hand, you can't feel any gap.
It's a completely hidden entrance and exit.
"oh oh."
"Okay, let's go down and take a look."
This building has four floors in total.
Only the fourth floor appears darker.
When we reached the third floor, it immediately became much brighter.
The walls were no longer pure black, but a smooth dark gray.
The light was still reddish, illuminating this layer.
This floor has some small desktops.
Some are like...
office
But just like the previous floor, there was only a table, nothing else, not even a chair.
However, alien invaders naturally do not need chairs. They may be more accustomed to standing directly on the ground or climbing onto the table.
Continue down.
The second floor is almost the same as the third floor.
That is to say, there are slight deviations in the placement of those independent small square tables.
Apart from that, there is nothing.
"Hey, hey, hey... What on earth is this building used for?" Xu Ying was getting a little annoyed.
She thought this should be the control room.
But after looking at the third floor, there was nothing there except some very simple "tables"
"Don't worry, there's still one more layer." Li Wenxi comforted her.
The three of them continued to go down and arrived at the first floor.
The first level is even worse.
Except for the door of the entire building, there was nothing there.
"I… "
Xu Ying was a little dumbfounded.
She looked around, then rolled her eyes and said, "This place... couldn't it have been robbed?"
Really...
It’s so clean that even thieves would cry.
Even the tables they saw above were connected to the ground.
This makes people wonder if someone has looted everything inside.
Everything that could be taken away was taken away, leaving only the tables that were attached to the entire building.
"Uh...did we waste our time?" Li Wenxi said a little embarrassedly.
They walked for so long, bypassing all kinds of alien plants, before they arrived at this building, and they tried their best to get into it.
The result is that there is nothing inside
This is kind of funny...
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Xu Xin felt something was wrong.
How could this be
This building is the largest and most conspicuous one inside the entire giant ship. It is located in the front and center, and you can tell at a glance that it is unusual.
Shouldn't this place be so empty
"Ah... maybe it was really looted." Xu Ying sighed, "Those small houses outside are full of dead alien invaders, and their belongings have been looted, so it's normal for this place to be looted."
"No, it's not normal." Xu Xin frowned and said, "Don't forget, those rooms all have obvious traces of fighting inside."
The walls were covered with scratches, potholes, and other marks.
There is even some strange smell.
But here, no.
The walls are smooth, the floor is clean, and the smell is... fresh.
It's completely different from the previous houses.
Xu Xin feels that this place should be...
That's how it is.
"Ah? It's always been this empty? No way." Li Wenxi didn't think that was the case.
“… Coco.”
Xu Xin pulled the little guy out of his arms.
"Is there any other way here?"
Xu Xin felt that if there was nothing here, then this place might lead to somewhere else.
After all, this building is right at the foot of the scarlet crystal mountain.
Maybe... entering the scarlet crystal
"Hmm...?"
However, Coco opened her eyes hazily, shook her little head gently, and fell asleep again.
… No
Xu Xin didn't quite believe it.
He told Li Wenxi and Xu Ying his guess, and the three of them began to grope along the wall next to the scarlet crystal.
I groped my way from the first floor to the fourth floor again.
Nothing happened.
Oh no, the door to the elevator back to the roof opened.
But that was the only reaction.
"Really...?"
Xu Xin was no longer confident at this time.
It won’t really be completely...
"ah!"
At this time, Li Wenxi made a slightly surprised sound.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at her.
At this moment, she took out all the metal cards in her hand.
And among these cards, there is one card that is emitting a slight scarlet light!
That is to say…
This card is responsive!
This card can be used here!
The three of them came together immediately.
"How do I use it?"
"No, I don't know..."
"Elevator?"
"No way, the elevator can be opened by just touching it? There's no need for this card."
"That is..."
"Isn't it the big round table in the middle?"
The three people's eyes were focused on the large black round table in the middle, which was very low and almost blended into the environment.
It's really inconspicuous.
It is better to say that it is... a large round table than a large round table.
Li Wenxi walked towards the round table with the card.
As he approached the round table, the scarlet light emitted by the card in his hand became slightly brighter.
“It’s the round table!”
She came to the round table and placed the metal card on it.
It didn't do anything, but the light emitted by the card became a little brighter.
"Let me try."
"oh."
Xu Xin took the card handed over by Li Wenxi, turned over, stepped on the round table, and walked to the center of the round table.
At this time, the card in his hand was brighter than before.
Because the round table has circles of faint lines running from the inside to the outside, the center position is easy to find.
He squatted down and placed the card in the middle of the round table.
The moment he put it on, the card immediately lit up with a bright scarlet light.
Then, those faint circles of lines began to glow scarlet light outward in circles!
"It reacted!" Xu Ying said in surprise, "This round table is actually a mechanism that can be triggered?"
"Come down quickly!" Li Wenxi urged Xu Xin to come down anxiously.
Who knows what will happen next at this round table.
It's too dangerous to stand on it.
Xu Xin jumped down from the table in two steps.
The card remained on it, and the scarlet light still shone outward in circles.
At this time, most of the area has been lit up.
The entire dark fourth floor was gradually illuminated by these bright circles of lines.
Xu Ying held their hands.
She didn't know what it would look like when it was fully lit up, so she could only be ready to teleport the two of them away at any time.
The three of them stared at the table nervously.
The speed at which the lines lit up gradually slowed down, and on the last circle, it took several seconds.
It finally lit up completely.
Then, something happened that shocked all three of them.
The entire circle of pitch-black walls around it suddenly lit up!
Without any warning, it suddenly lit up, and it was very bright!
At this moment, the three people's eyes were unable to accept it and were blinded for a moment.
Xu Ying almost teleported away directly.
However, when the three of them saw the scene in front of them, they were all amazed.
"Are there... screens all around?" Li Wenxi exclaimed, "So the walls around the fourth floor are all darkened screens!"
No wonder they are all made of strange black material.
"This scene..." Xu Ying's eyes flashed, "Sure enough, this is the main control console!"
Xu Xin also narrowed his eyes.
Because he saw the purple-black column of light that shot straight into the sky, and the world tree surrounding the column of light.
The scene displayed on the screen is the scene of the giant ship from all directions.
In this room, one can see the entire giant ship in all directions.
A room that can see everything outside the giant ship, what else can it be but the main control room!
"But where to control it... Ah, that round table!"
Li Wenxi pulled him and looked at the two people outside.
The two looked back and saw that the round table behind them was slowly changing shape!
The deformation occurs along those circles of lines.
Every line is a crack.
The entire round table bulges upward along the lines.
The edge is rising slowly, and the further inward you go, the faster it rises.
Soon, the whole round table turned into a "small hill" with a high center and low sides.
The center of the hill continued to rise and the round table continued to lengthen.
The center of this hill almost reaches the highest point of this layer, which is seven or eight meters high.
It's like a tall sculpture of Mount Everest.
But this is not the final form of the round table.
The next second, the levels of the entire round table began to change again.
It began to move in a wave-like rhythm.
Then, the black material began to deform differently up, down, left, and right.
Gradually, the prototype of a control console appeared in front of Xu Xin and the other two.
Various mechanical joysticks, various buttons, and some... structures that look like weapon models.
And after a few seconds, these things became clearer.
Finally, a clear and complete console is formed.
The scene before them truly astonished Xu Xin and the other two.
When not activated, it's just a low round table.
Once activated, the entire round table deformed and turned into a huge control console.
At the same time, the scenes around the giant ship lit up in all directions.
"Fortunately, we have a card that can activate this place!"
Li Wenxi said excitedly: "If we didn't have that card, we would have come here in vain!"
Xu Ying looked at the console and took a deep breath.
"Let's see how to control this console!"
After studying it for a while, the three of them found that the console was very easy to understand.
Because a scaled-down model of the entire giant ship has appeared on the console.
And in almost every part of the model, there are some small joysticks that can be triggered.
There is no written explanation above, but the position of the joystick is very clear.
There is a weapon next to each joystick.
Some weapons are external and clearly visible.
Some weapons are hidden inside the giant ship, but they can still be seen from the model because that part of the outer shell on the model is missing, so the weapons inside can be seen directly.
Then it is very clear.
Each of these joysticks corresponds to a weapon in a certain part of the giant ship!
As long as you control the joystick in this part, the weapon controlled by this joystick will start aiming and firing!
Xu Ying immediately reached out and tried it.
A rocker on the upper part of the huge ship she chose.
Immediately, a crosshair for positioning the attack appeared on the screen in front of him, facing the direction of the alien invader's World Tree!
"Wow, this is like playing a game with a controller!"
Xu Ying immediately came to her senses, and skillfully manipulated the joystick to aim at the target...
The circle of towns near the purple-black light column.
"Are there a lot of alien invaders living there now? If I fire this missile at them..."
Xu Ying licked her lips.
She felt that the joystick in her hand could be pressed.
Shaking the joystick controls the crosshairs, and pressing the joystick should fire.
"Is there any ammunition left?"
Li Wenxi raised an extremely sharp question: "Hasn't this huge ship been drifting in the turbulence of time and space for a long time? Could it be that the ammunition has been used up?"
"Ah..." Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, "Uh... there should be, right? Otherwise, how can it control the position of the attack..."
"have."
Suddenly, Xu Xin arrived.
"Look at the lower right corner of the screen."
Bottom right corner
The two women looked over.
I saw some strange words in the lower right corner.
Alien invaders text.
In short, they don't quite understand it.
But they understood the following diagram.
There are a total of ten artillery-like figures drawn below.
Only two of them lit up.
In other words, there are actually two shells left.
"oh!"
Xu Ying's eyes lit up.
She then quickly checked the number of weapons and ammunition in other locations.
There are actually one or two rounds of ammunition in every part.
"The ammunition is not even used up yet!" Xu Ying felt that she was so lucky.
"It is also possible that it was just added." Xu Xin said.
"The leader of the alien invaders should have been here before. He replenished some weapons and ammunition. Otherwise, with such a huge ship lying in the desert and rebels among the alien invaders, he would not be at ease without ammunition."
"Oh, yes!" Xu Ying nodded vigorously.
She was a little excited now.
Isn't this what she was looking for...
A super powerful weapon for alien invaders
However, she was only excited for a few seconds before she calmed down again.
It doesn’t seem… right.
The super-powerful weapon she needed from the alien invaders was concentrated scarlet crystals that could work in the underground space inside the World Tree.
But this huge ship's huge guns...
It seems that I can’t hit the scarlet crystal…
The World Tree is basically impossible to be destroyed by external forces.
Not to mention that the scarlet crystal is still under the World Tree!
That place is protected by the strongest and thickest root system of the World Tree, and that part of the root system has the strongest self-healing ability of the World Tree, and it is impossible to destroy it from the outside...
If that were not the case, the leader of the alien invaders would not have placed the concentrated scarlet crystal in that location.
That is indeed...
In every sense, it is the safest position.
but.
"If we can't hit the interior of the World Tree, at least we can hit the towns around the teleportation formation!"
Xu Ying's eyes became sharp.
"Even if I die, I will take those alien invaders with me!"
Her hand immediately pressed the joystick in her hand.
And at this moment, the entire giant ship shook slightly!
Then, a fierce white light flashed and the three people lost their sight instantly.
"What?!"
"Yingying, you..."
The three people's vision gradually recovered.
Under the shocked gazes of Xu Xin and Xu Ying, the largest mushroom cloud they had ever seen slowly rose beside the purple-black light column!
The foggy cloud even completely enveloped the three world trees!
"Oh... this is the main gun of this giant ship."
There was a hint of shock and a hint of joy in Xu Ying's voice.
