Just when everyone was about to pass through the gate of the hall, the wall closest to them suddenly brightened as a whole, and then a figure appeared on the curtain wall. Hao Ren and the others immediately reacted and looked at the person on the big screen in surprise. It was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a mighty and serious appearance. He was wearing a straight black uniform with gold trim. Buttoned all the way down to the chin.
The man who appeared on the big screen looked at Hao Ren and his party with surprise in his eyes: "Why are you outside?"
Hao Ren had already gotten used to the deserted ghost town on this planet, but he didn't expect to see a real person on the screen at this moment, and he was startled: "Damn it... there are still people on this planet? !"
"Is there anyone else?" The middle-aged man on the screen was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about? Did you run away from the shelter? Or are you from other areas?"
Vivienne immediately reacted and coughed twice: "We... We came from another place, there may be something wrong with the equipment, and we got lost here."
She didn't speak clearly, and out of prudence, she tried to be vague about the origins of her group. And the person on the big screen didn't seem to think much about it, he just nodded: "Very well, it's good to return to the safe area safely, I hope you are not affected by the radiation near the engine. The guiding robot will take you there Shelter, and a civil investigator will ask about your situation later."
After the voice fell, the large screen on the wall dimmed again, and quickly returned to the original wall. Hao Ren and the others looked at each other, feeling a little strange about this person who appeared out of nowhere, but they couldn't tell where the disobedience was.
"There are still people on this planet?" Lily smacked her lips in disbelief.
Vivian rubbed her chin: "According to what the other party said, there seems to be some kind of shelter... I didn't expect there to be survivors!"
A group of people, led by the little robot, passed through the gate of the hall and entered a long corridor illuminated by red lights. The robot signaled them to walk across the corridor to complete the disinfection. Hao Ren muttered puzzledly while walking: "But this is not right..."
"It's not right." Vivienne still remembered what everyone discussed before, "The original sun of this planet exploded 10,000 years ago, but the planet's engine should have started a hundred years ago. So Theoretically, the survivors here should have missed the escape window at that time—since there are people alive, why didn't they have 10,000 years ago?! Could it be that they slept next to the cooled star for 10,000 years before?"
Lily pursed her lips immediately: "You think everyone sleeps like you and dies."
This husky really never forgets to quarrel with his enemies in his busy schedule.
Nangong Wuyue had a complex look on her face, with some anticipation and a little fear: "Could my parents be in some kind of shelter?"
Hao Ren immediately reacted: "Yes! Since there is a shelter here, the Nangong and his wife are likely to be taken in, just like us!"
After thinking about it, everyone felt that it made sense, and immediately stepped up and walked through this corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was another guiding robot waiting for them, and the little robot opened the semicircular gate at the front of the corridor. A special small room appeared in front of everyone.
The small room was empty and nothing else could be seen, except for a large cylinder in the center. The front of the cylinder was a translucent glass door, and a device similar to an elevator could be seen inside—it seemed that the shelter was underground.
In order to go to the shelter smoothly, Hao Ren and the others were very cooperative at this time, quietly watching the little robot open the door of the elevator and beckoning everyone to enter. And when everyone stepped onto the elevator platform, Hao Ren suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.
It was a long sea snake's tail—May's.
"Wait a minute." Hao Ren's mind froze for a moment. "Mayue, have you been in this form just now?"
Wuyue moved her tail for unknown reasons, making herself into a more comfortable position (the narrow place like the elevator is a bit cramped for her big body, but she didn't have the chance to change into other forms just now): " Yes, what's wrong?"
"...The uncle on the screen just now didn't seem to be interested in your appearance at all," Lily also realized at this time, she even touched her ears and tail, "Also there is my appearance..."
Wu Yue immediately coiled her tail tightly, and she became nervous: "Could it be a trap?!"
At this time, the elevator door was closed. The entire platform began to accelerate and descend towards the ground. Hao Ren glanced at the metal frame and mechanical layer passing by outside, and gritted his teeth: "Whatever, let's see the situation. Everyone should be vigilant later, but don't act rashly unless there is an emergency."
Lily nodded vigorously, and quickly pulled out her ice and fire claws: "Don't worry, landlord, I will protect you!"
Vivian pushed the husky aside vigorously: "Put your paws away, you bastard! This is the elevator... Hey, my clothes! I only have two good clothes!"
"Under this situation, can't the two of you be more peaceful?" Sometimes Hao Ren really has nothing to do with these two enemies, so he can only lean to the side to hide and be quiet. And Y'zaks looked down at the ground of the elevator platform: the ground is inlaid with decorative transparent glass, you can see the situation below, and now you can only see the faint light coming from the bottom of the extremely deep shaft : "It seems that the shelter is extremely deep underground."
"Maybe it's to maintain the ecosystem with the help of geothermal heat," Hao Ren said while thinking about the professional knowledge in his mind. "A shelter scheme commonly used by low-tech civilizations."
This deep shaft seemed to have no end, and everyone waited nervously, vigilantly or expectantly in the elevator for a long time before reaching the bottom. Anyway, Lily's seriousness lasted for five minutes and she couldn't hold on any longer. She just squatted down and started scratching the floor. When she drew a stick figure of the third puppy on the floor, everyone finally felt the whole car slightly With a shock, the sound of the mechanical device locking came from outside.
Y'zaks looked up: "At least tens of kilometers... I'm afraid it's exactly what you said, they are using underground magma to maintain the shelter's heat."
Accompanied by a light "嗤嗤", the door of the elevator slid open to both sides, Nangong Sanba immediately threw a small piece of rune paper outside, and the paper turned into a phantom of a person outside and walked a few steps , but did not trigger any traps or anything like that, he held up his hand crossbow and walked out cautiously: "Be safe, keep up."
"Your brother is quite reliable occasionally." Vivienne said casually to Wuyue.
Wu Yue curled her lips: "If he didn't even have this hunter skill, he would have died in some old castle... Wow!"
Wu Yue's words were interrupted by her own exclamation, and everyone came out of the elevator, dumbfounded at the scene outside!
I saw that the outside of the elevator was not the low and cramped steel shelter as imagined, nor could I see the narrow living cabins piled up layer upon layer like a prison, but it turned out to be a huge city outside!
I saw neat and wide roads extending in front of my eyes, tall buildings arranged in a random order in sight, and lush plants and artificial landscapes for decoration can be seen between the buildings. Hao Ren looked back, and found that the elevator passage that everyone took when they came was actually a huge column in the city. This column was in the center of a square formed by the intersection of several roads, and far away, he There are also other similar pillars indistinctly seen.
It appears that there is more than one entrance to the shelter.
Lily stared with her mouth open for a long time before choking out a sentence: "... As a shelter, this place is really exaggerated."
Y'zaks looked up and looked directly above. The city was not dark, on the contrary, it was as bright as day under the illumination of a large number of lights above. Izaks squinted his eyes, and saw the rough rock roof and the huge steel support structure through the gaps in the "light net" that simulated skylight: "There are rock formations on it... This is a huge cave, and I don't know if it was dug by hand. What came out was that this planet was born with such a structure."
Vivienne immediately looked up at the rock tops above and became dazed, mumbling: "The cave..."
Hao Ren replied subconsciously: "You don't plan to hang upside down for a while, do you?"
Vivian quickly reacted and shook her head vigorously: "It's okay, I can control it!"
Lily turned her face away: "Tch, bat." (To be continued~^~)
