"Click!"

Like the sound of gears strongly biting, it sounded in an empty indoor place in the depths of the enclosed city.

At this time, a light came to the top and down, from the inside to the outside, illuminating the completely dark inner room like ripples.

At the same time, it also illuminates something on the metal groove in the center, a cross square.

A row of vertically retracted metal ladders were laid down from the light, shining with bright silver colors.

Two figures climbed down the ladder.

Soon after, a scepter was pulled up from the dark copper metal base.

That dusty base is the conversion device of the city's "energy core".

The so-called energy core, according to Louis, is the key to the inexhaustible "big energy" used by every city.

Since the city has stopped its operation, it has lost its meaning of existence and has become a scrap metal existence.

Wang He stood aside and watched everything Louis did, touched his chin, and said as if he was impressed: "You can find this place."

Louis glanced at Wang He, lowered his head and weighed the weight of the scepter in his hand, and said, "The main reason is that the city's defense function has been abolished, and the mechanical guards are powerless."

"They are quite powerful and have defeated this management AI. Unfortunately, the data finally fell into my hands."

Wang He pretended to be surprised: "So you are the mastermind behind the scenes? However, if you don't follow the rules of the game, you will inevitably be trapped in this city."

Louis: "Hmph, rules? No matter what we do, everything is actually in the rules, and the so-called punishment is the same. Otherwise, you will not be led here, right? 'Selected'."

He was a little vocal, as if he was dissatisfied with this environment.

After saying that, he threw the dark copper scepter to Wang He: "According to the agreement, I will hand over the core to you. According to the information, you should be able to use its power normally."

Wang He took the scepter with one hand. The moment he started, the skin and brain that touched him suddenly felt a sting and electric current.

After a brief sense of pain, Wang He found that he had not changed much.

Whether it was the panel or anywhere else, Wang He did not see any prompts about the scepter.

He had no choice but to play with the scepter.

In terms of weight, the scepter felt about three or four kilograms. However, some problems were found in terms of texture.

It is obviously metal in appearance, but as long as Wang He presses it with his fingers, it will sink like plasticine and soon return to its original state.

Wang He used a little force to stab the end of the scepter as if it were on the ground. In an instant, it was like a blunt object hitting the glass, and the hard floor cracked.

In the center of the crack, a bottomless hole appeared, as well as four cross-shaped cracks.

Louis observed Wang He's actions on the side. Seeing this, he frowned: "It turns out that the core has this characteristic? Is it the same appearance, but it is actually a weapon?"

Wang He smiled and did not reply to him.

Although he does not have core relevant knowledge, he can know through actual contact and analysis:

The characteristic of the scepter should be that when it is swung or displaced with force, it will change its original hardness and make the direction of force radiate a certain directing force.

"So, the base is cross-shaped, which is conducive to the recovery and utilization of radio energy in the cross direction?" Wang He thought for a moment.

"So what?" he thought of an idea.

He reinserted the scepter into the original metal base in a similar way as before.

With the crackling sound, the scepter was re-secured into the metal base.

However, unlike originally, on the small dusty road on the base, there were suddenly crisscrossing dim yellow lights, like something similar to flowing water, pouring in.

At this moment, countless linear bright patterns densely packed like maze maps completely illuminate the dark interior.

The dim tone renders this place into an ancient palace in the evening.

It swayed, coming from the depths of the ground. It seemed that something was coming alive.

It was like the beating of the heart, and the slight vibration of the interval began.

The city's energy center began to operate again. The originally dead dark city began to gradually appear light.

Seeing this, Louis said: "Is this? You restarted the city? Not good!"

He rushed forward with a look of surprise and grabbed the scepter and wanted to pull it up immediately, but found that it was different from before. The scepter seemed to have a root and he could not pick it up at all.

After calming down, he looked at Wang He speechlessly: "According to the information left by AI, the operation of the city system has been restarted since the energy recovery and reopening. Doing this is equivalent to unconditionally lifting restrictions on everyone in the city... As far as I know, at least two people are guarding near the border. Once the change in energy recovery is detected, they may be allowed to escape directly."

Louis held his forehead and sighed, "Your daytime actions have been noticed by almost everyone. Now, to be honest, I have disrupted my plans. Your companions may also be in danger. Although you don't know what you want to do, you did make a mistake."

"Well, that's indeed a possibility." Wang He nodded, "But you have to understand one thing: the power is in my hands."

Wang He had walked to the scepter at some point, and with his movements, the scepter was easily pulled up again.

The originally lit lines gradually faded from far to near.

Wang He's voice also sounded; "Suppose, if you are trapped in the dark and lost energy for several days, you have tried many times, and you have no way to leave. At this time, with a building in the distant city as the center, the light suddenly lights up and spreads outward."

"When you were surprised, you suddenly realized that the light that shouldn't have appeared quickly extinguished from near to far again. In such a short period of time, would you choose to move towards the outside world that failed many attempts? Or would you choose to explore the direction of the change and the source of the light?"

Seeing this, Wang He continued: "Humans in difficulties always seek ways to break the difficulties in the direction of change. Because they are helpless, they will not try the futile means they have tried again."

"Unless they have mastered enough judgment conditions and materials like you. They know the direction, but unfortunately, this is not the case."

"Just just now, you who had not shared the information with them, and they themselves who were ignorant." Wang He held the scepter in one hand and pointed strongly at Louis.

Louis was stunned for a moment, looked up at the top, and smiled bitterly, "That's a good thing. But I understand, it's how you plan to deal with the guys that are coming that are being brought to light by the movements?"

Now, Wang He and the others are underground. The building above them is exactly the area where the lights light up first.
