Chapter 624: Ivel’s purpose? (Please vote for the super large chapter)
Main World·Lochran Street
On the quiet street, the clone of He Ao and Hao Yi sat alone in an outdoor seat of a 24-hour cafe on the edge of the street.
Due to the opening of the ruins, Lochlan Street has long been closed, and all businesses and residents have been temporarily evacuated to other places.
Therefore, although this cafe is a 24-hour cafe, it is not open.
At both ends of Lochlan Street, there are still people from the three major organizations and the gendarmerie on duty, blocking the entrance.
Some of them would also pretend to look in the direction of He Ao casually during the process, and then quickly look away.
He Ao turned on the computer, using the authority account prepared for him by the institute, and quietly browsed the institute's research report on the ruins.
The moonlight shone on this ancient, even somewhat dilapidated city, and under the moonlight, an old-looking vehicle slowly drove into the street and stopped not far from Heao.
Immediately afterwards, an unrecognizable man with short eyebrows, thin cheeks, and a middle-class appearance got out of the car and ran towards He Ao in a few steps.
He walked up to He Ao and opened his mouth, about to say something.
But before he spoke, He Ao said, "People from the research institute?"
"Yes, Mr. Hao Yi," the man nodded quickly, "My name is Li Le, and Minister He Ao has entrusted me to temporarily take over Ruo Dan's work."
Of course, He Ao knew Li Le. Li Le was originally the intelligence chief of the institute in Ruodan. Later, his identity was exposed and he was chased by Moonlight. He Ao and Yang De asked him to leave Ruodan first to avoid the limelight.
After the mysterious shadow incident, there were not many people left in Ruodan, either from Moonlight or World Tree, so He Ao asked him to return to Ruodan and continue to handle Ruodan's research institute affairs.
Li Cheng left, He Ao entered the ruins, and Li Le himself was the person with the highest rank at Ruo Dan in the institute.
Before He Ao left, he also specifically entrusted him with the responsibility for all emergency work of the institute while he entered the ruins.
Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with him. After all, the ruins have not been open for a long time in the main world. Although the explorers have to stay in the ruins for three days, because the time flow rate between the main world and the ruins is one to twelve,
On the main world side, there are actually only six hours.
Li Le originally thought that these six hours of sleep would be enough.
Unexpectedly, after the ruins were opened, the great god Hao Yi did not leave without seeing the end of the dragon like before, but stopped directly at Lochlan Street.
At this time, no matter what, the three major organizations should express their attitudes, establish contact with 'Hao Yi', and bring friendly greetings.
Theoretically, this should be Enke of Moonlight, the only C-level member of the three major organizations in Ruodan, who came out to establish contact with Hao Yi.
But Moonlight chose to remain silent on this matter, so the task of establishing contact returned to the institute.
Therefore, just as Li Le was lying on the bed about to squint for a while, he was called by Yang De and rushed to Lochlan Street.
At this moment, he looked at Hao Yi nervously, wondering if this great god would just kill him if he was in a bad mood.
Although on the way here, Yang De emphasized to him many times that Hao Yi was not dangerous, but rather friendly.
But the man sitting in front of him at this moment is the man who massacred Yueguang's entire headquarters. If this man is in a bad mood, he will not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Alas, if only this man were as kind as Minister Ho.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Just when Li Le's mind was spinning, He Ao, who was watching the report, asked casually.
"no,"
Li Le stiffened. As an excellent intelligence worker, although he was panicking, he actually hid his emotions very well, but this man saw through his disguise easily.
He took a deep breath, glanced at the surrounding environment, and quickly asked, "Do you want to drink coffee? I'll buy you some coffee?"
"Just want the instant version."
He Ao said casually.
"Okay, okay,"
Li Le nodded quickly. He Ao unexpectedly made a request to him, but it was also because of this request that he felt a little calmer. Since the other party wants to use him to do things, there is a high probability that he will not kill him easily.
he.
He Ao lowered his head and continued to read the report on the computer.
After a while, Li Le came over carrying a pot of hot water, a cup, and a bag of instant coffee. He made the coffee for He Ao and pushed it in front of He Ao.
"Thanks."
He Ao nodded slightly.
"You're welcome. If you need anything, just ask me."
Li Le said quickly.
Unconsciously, he felt that the B-level 'big man' in front of him was much more approachable.
"what time is it now?"
At this moment, He Ao suddenly asked softly.
The report in front of him was full screen, and there was no place to see the time.
"It's now," Li Le raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "it's 00:45 in the morning."
00:45
He Ao stared at the report text in his field of vision.
The time he spent in the Navigator was a little over two hours.
The time flow rate ratio is one to three.
——
Pilot·Elevator Area
He Ao raised his head and stared at the figure behind the gate on the opposite side. Looking at his confused and surprised expression, he was also a little surprised, "Ye Yun?"
When asking this question, his eyes also moved to the card of life in Ye Yun's hand. At the same time, he mobilized his consciousness and glanced at Ye Yun's body in the process.
The card of life is white, the energy flows normally, and it is indeed a human being.
And the energy concentration is also C level.
This time, he, Ye Yun and Yin Weir were the only C-level people who entered the ruins.
There seemed to be no problem, but meeting him here seemed a bit too coincidental.
Obviously, the other person also thought so. When He Ao was looking at him, he was also looking at He Ao carefully.
The two crossed the gate almost at the same time and walked towards each other, but the overall vigilance was not lifted.
In the end, the two came to a very close distance, looked at each other's wary eyes, and then smiled at each other.
This mutual vigilance actually increased the mutual trust between the two.
"How did you get in here?"
Ye Yun asked aloud, "Have you met anyone else before?"
"Wait a moment,"
He Ao waved his hand and walked straight to the elevator nearby.
At the same time, he was also observing the area carefully.
This space is not large. On one side is a wall and a protruding elevator. Opposite the elevator is a huge picture window, and on both sides are two gates.
The viewing window in this elevator area is in a different direction from the viewing window He Ao saw in the lobby just now. The viewing window in the lobby seems to be facing the front of the spacecraft, and several other annular living cabins can be seen.
The elevator's viewing window faces the rear of the spacecraft, and only the vast expanse of deep space can be seen.
The scene seen from this side is similar to what Ho Ao saw in the original safe house. It seems that the picture window of that safe house also faces the rear.
But He Ao didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Milky Way at the moment.
He just glanced at the picture window, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the elevator in front of him.
What was different from what he had expected was that the actual pollution level in the elevator area, which was shown to be very dangerous in both memory chips, was very low, and no powerful mutant lifeforms appeared.
Could it be that I misunderstood the meaning of storing the contents of the chip?
Or is this elevator area just dangerous compared to those monsters?
He Ao focused his attention on a monitor on the side of the elevator door.
At this moment, the monitor was showing a red exclamation mark. He Ao lowered his head and looked at the elevator door.
There were faint footprints in front of the door, proving that someone had just passed by.
He Aoniu turned back and looked at Ye Yun, "Did you see Yin Weier when you came over there just now?"
"Yin Weir?" Ye Yun was stunned, "He came in too?"
It seems that I didn't see it.
He Ao withdrew his gaze.
If Ye Yun did not mislead intentionally, judging from this footprint, Yin Weier should have entered this elevator.
And this elevator should lead to the core axis of the spacecraft.
He Ao pressed the button below the elevator display.
The content on the display flashed, changing from an exclamation point to a line of text.
The first two words, He Ao knows, are, 'error'.
It looked like there was some kind of malfunction in the elevator.
He Ao stared at the contents of the elevator monitor. After that line of text was displayed, another 'animation' appeared.
This animation is very simple and the content is easy to understand. It first uses a red five-pointed star to mark the current location of He Ao, and then marks the location of the elevator car in red.
Judging from its red position, the elevator car is not here at this moment, but in the central axis.
Immediately afterwards, a line of text was displayed on the side of the elevator car, which seemed to explain that there was something wrong with the elevator car that made it unusable.
Immediately afterwards, some wrench icons and a phone icon lit up on the display, which seemed to indicate to those who saw it to contact professional maintenance personnel.
Now these maintenance personnel are most likely gone.
He Ao walked to the elevator door and carefully looked at the traces of the elevator door.
The elevator door was also splattered with bright red blood. At this moment, some of the blood stains were rubbed away, revealing some brand new scratches.
These scratches are very new.
It seems that the elevator door has been opened just now.
At least not long before He Ao came in, the elevator was still functioning normally.
It looks like the worst has happened.
Yin Weir used the elevator, and after successfully entering the central axis of the core, he destroyed the elevator with his backhand, blocking the way for others to get up.
At this moment, Ye Yun was standing behind He Ao, looking at He Ao's movements with a blank expression. He seemed to have many questions to ask, but He Ao's current actions seemed to make him understand that now was not the best time to ask questions.
He walked to He Ao's side and asked softly,
"Do you need help?"
"Help me pry open this elevator door, and I'll see if I can climb up directly along this elevator shaft."
He Ao pulled out the bone sword, inserted the tip of the sword into the gap between the elevator doors, and said softly.
"good."
Ye Yun pulled out a long knife, squatted down, and cut the blade into the gap in the elevator door below.
The two of them exerted force at the same time, and with a slight sound, the elevator door suddenly opened to both sides.
A dark space appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"Is there anything in here?"
Ye Yun took out a flashlight, held his hand against the wall, and half of his body went deep into the elevator shaft, shining the light into the elevator shaft.
The structure of this elevator shaft is very simple. The innermost side is a solid alloy track, and both sides are alloy walls.
Below is a small pit half a person deep and filled with various lines.
And above, not far above the two men's heads, was an alloy plate stained with blood that sealed the entire shaft above.
This alloy plate looks like a gate, isolating the area below from the elevator shaft above.
He Ao raised his flashlight and shined it on the alloy plate.
Engraved on the board was an icon that He Ao didn't recognize, which seemed to be a warning icon.
But this is not important. There are five different lines of text engraved under the icon to explain the icon, and these five lines of text are written in five different languages.
Including the language of the second area, the meaning of that line is.
[Vacuum! Extremely dangerous! Do not force it to open! Do not destroy it!]
Is the area behind this gate completely vacuum?
He Ao withdrew his gaze.
The stable air pressure and oxygen in the spacecraft sometimes made him ignore that they were currently operating in the universe.
Then this gate cannot be destroyed easily. He Ao doesn't know whether the area connected behind the gate is a closed vacuum area or an area connected to the universe.
If it is the latter, after it is destroyed, the air in this area will leak and everyone will die.
Moreover, extraordinary beings cannot survive in a vacuum, at least He Ao can't do it now with only his physical body.
And the alloy plate looks very strong. Even if it wants to be destroyed, it will probably take a lot of effort.
"What does that line mean?"
Ye Yun on the side asked doubtfully.
"It seemed like a sign of danger,"
He Ao turned off the flashlight, pulled back, looked at Ye Yun, and then at the gate through which Ye Yun came out, "A ruin that you entered alone?"
"one person,"
Ye Yun nodded, "But I met a researcher from Nandu on the way, named Yuan Guo. She was being attacked by a group of monsters at the time. This area was too dangerous for her, but we found a safer place. I asked
She hid inside first, and I came out to explore."
This treatment method is very similar to that of He Ao.
"So what about you? You also came in alone? And this area seems to have never appeared in the records of the institute. Have we come to a new area?"
After answering the question, Ye Yun also asked.
Judging from He Ao's performance just now, he noticed that He Ao seemed to know a lot about this special 'relic'.
"I don't know much, but I didn't come in alone. I, Zhang Yusi from Beidu, and two people appeared in a semi-enclosed space at the same time. This is a bit complicated,"
He Ao turned around and walked towards the gate where Ye Yun came in. The space behind this gate was completely different from the space with the goat monster that He Ao had just passed through.
The lights were bright, the pollution was low, and the monsters on the ground were only some relatively weak flesh-and-blood spiders. He Ao turned to look at Ye Yun.
There were some blood stains on Ye Yun's body, but there were no injuries. He Ao asked with some confusion, "Didn't you encounter any particularly strong monsters on your way here?"
"Yes," Ye Yun nodded, "There is a humanoid monster. I feel that its strength should reach C level."
He Ao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is its arms made of metal pyramids with spikes on its back?"
"Yes, yes," Ye Yun nodded and looked at He Ao, "Have you met him too?"
Of course He Ao met them. They were the subordinates of the sea anemone monster he met at the door of the safe house, and there were four of them at once.
"This is the only strongest monster you've ever met, and only one?"
He Ao paused and asked emphatically.
"Yes," Ye Yun nodded again, "It took me a little effort to deal with this monster."
He looked at He Ao with some confusion, "Have you met other monsters?"
He Ao:······
He Ao didn't know how to explain to him for a while. The strongest monster he met along the way was at most a bigger cannon fodder among the group of things He Ao met.
"Well, things are more complicated,"
He Ao nodded. He looked at Ye Yun coming through this passage and said, "Is it easier for you to come this way?"
"There are some obstacles, but nothing serious."
Ye Yun said, "There are basically no C-level monsters, what about you?"
"I also encountered some obstacles that were not too troublesome,"
He Ao nodded, and then he looked at the passage where Ye Yun came from and said to Ye Yun,
"Then I have to trouble you to lead the way. Let's go back this way and go to the next elevator. I'm afraid we are very pressed for time. I don't know if Yin Weier will do anything in the core area of the spacecraft that will affect the entire spacecraft.
"
Judging from He Ao's observation, along the way Yin Weier walked, there were no viewing windows except for the elevator area.
And from the viewing window in this elevator area, you can't see the entire spacecraft, you can only see the stars behind the spacecraft.
So theoretically, he should not know that this place is actually a spaceship, and he may not necessarily know that this place is an elevator leading to the core area.
But he should be able to tell it's an elevator.
At that time, he avoided the goat monster by selling his teammates. He had two options in front of him, one was the less polluted area behind the gate where Ye Yun came out, and the other was a mysterious looking area with hidden dangers and extremely high risk.
Elevators that may require complex operation.
Yin Weier didn't seem to be a person willing to risk his life, but he directly chose the elevator.
Yin Weier may also know something that He Ao does not know.
Judging from the fact that he betrayed his teammates decisively along the way, moved forward without hesitation, and made choices with almost no hesitation, he might even have headed for the core area of the spacecraft.
He Ao had an ominous premonition in his heart. The situation at the ruins seemed to be getting more and more complicated this time.
"Elevator? Spaceship?"
Hearing He Ao's words, Ye Yun was a little confused.
