Unknown to the undead's gambling game, the revolutionary army used the time bought by their companions to quickly sneak into the underground layer. In fact, not all of the navy's forces in the future kingdom are stationed in the laboratory. Like most islands in the sea,
There is a local branch, and that is their headquarters.
It is this branch that incidentally takes on the important task of protecting the laboratory.
So when the large forces ran out to chase the enemy who fired the gun, only a few marines remained in the laboratory. Sabo rushed left and right, and quickly reached the second underground floor with the help of the laboratory layout map he had just memorized in his mind.
.
Once here, there are even fewer people.
Because this is the warehouse where the unfinished works of Vegapunk are stored.
Huge tarpaulins cover each of the works that are as tall as a person at least, and are tied with ropes around them. Regarding these unfinished works, although Vegapunk has made it clear that they are just big toys, with the current level of technology, it is simply impossible to
It was completed, but the World Government still couldn't bear to throw it away and kept it well.
Maybe one day there will be a breakthrough in technological level and it will see the light of day again.
Saab understands.
No wonder the navy gathered on the underground floor, because there is an entrance and exit they cannot bypass if they want to take things out here.
Avoiding several marines who were mumbling after being woken up, Sabo came to the door leading to the third underground floor and carefully held the door handle.
Click...
"Um?"
The handle moved slightly and then stopped moving. The rust on it fell all over the floor, dyeing the palm of the hand orange-red.
"It's rusty to death!"
Sabo frowned.
I don’t know where the third underground floor is. It’s obvious that even the navy doesn’t want to go down there. It’s been unused all year round, causing the lock of the door to be locked with rust.
"This is going to be difficult!"
The keyhole is blocked by rust, and no matter how good your lockpicking skills are, it's useless. The only option left is to break the door violently.
But if there is a big commotion here, the Navy will definitely be more vigilant, which will not be conducive to their mission.
Suddenly, light footsteps sounded.
Saab quickly hid his body in the shadow of a truck-sized work and held his breath.
Snap, snap!
The visitor stopped in front of the door with light steps, and was about to reach out to pull the door bolt, when he suddenly turned back.
call!
After seeing each other's appearance clearly, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kerla, how is the situation over there?"
"Nothing found."
The visitor was clearly Kerla. After hearing this, she also squeezed into the darkness and whispered: "I went to the navy colonel's room to search. There are quite a few documents about the island branch, but there is nothing about this laboratory.
of."
This result is not unexpected.
Sabo nodded and said.
"The gate is no longer usable. We must find other ways to get in."
"Did you find any other entrances on your way here?"
Kerla also frowned slightly when she heard this.
"No!"
"That would be really troublesome..."
He clicked the back of his head with a headache. Suddenly, Sabo's eyes lit up: "Wait a minute, if the Black Earl's men have already searched the laboratory, do you think they will let go of the third underground floor?"
Kella's eyes lit up.
"Certainly not!"
"Furthermore, the exterior wall of this building is made of steel. Even Diyul cannot open up the passage from the outside invisibly."
Digging through soil and digging through steel are two completely different things!
"That's right!"
Sabo nodded and began to look around: "So their people must have been here, and there is an entrance leading to the underground!"
"This location must be secretive enough that the navy cannot discover it when digging, and it must be safe enough after leaving without worrying about being discovered and suspected by the navy."
As they spoke, the two turned their attention to the machine wrapped in a huge oilcloth behind Saab.
The empty space in the warehouse can be eliminated directly. The greatest possibility is undoubtedly hidden in these stacked machines.
With the tarpaulin as a cover, as long as the navy is not bored enough to dismantle and inspect each one, the passage is 100% safe!
The two said no more, divided their troops into two groups, and began to search one by one.
Meeting other companions on the way, and after becoming more sure that there was no second entrance, everyone started looking for it.
soon.
In front of a block nearly ten meters high, Sabo pressed with his hand, and the oilcloth was pushed down for about twenty centimeters until it was stretched tightly, but it still did not touch the bottom.
His eyes lit up and he groped around the edge of the square.
Sure enough, in the inner corner, above the rope tightening the oilcloth, an inconspicuous opening appeared. Saab tried it, and it was just big enough for a person to get through.
"This is...a cage?"
With the help of the dim light on the ceiling outside, Sabo got in and found that the space inside was not as large as usual.
The thing covered by the oilcloth is a cage-like thing, not a sea tower stone prison. That thing has no research value at all. This cage is made of steel. Sabo speculated that it should be Vegapunk who wanted to make a
This work was created to replace the Sea Tower Stone Cage, a prison where people with abilities are imprisoned.
It's a pity it was not completed.
The entrance and exit of the cage are wide open, and through the crack that has not been welded, you can see that the iron bars are hollow and filled with dense metal wires.
In the center of the cage, a pile of gravel and soil was piled next to a hole about half a meter in diameter. The unique smell of old decay and mold in the basement came from below, accompanied by the faint sound of wind.
"found it?"
Kerra, who was searching in the distance, raised her head, quickly communicated with her companions with her eyes, and rushed towards Sabo's location.
Soon, a group of people arrived here.
Looking at the dark hole on the ground, Kerla shuddered.
"Give me the flashlight, I'll get off first!"
Sabo took off his coat and went into battle lightly, wrapping the rope around his waist.
The others hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
It would undoubtedly be dangerous to go down first.
Who knows if there are undead squatting down there, and if there is any noise, they will have enough space to hide and escape, but Sabo does not.
But there is no way.
If there was any danger that Saab couldn't handle, it would be in vain for them to go there.
Kerla took the rope in her hand and nodded to Sabo.
Sabo smiled at this, didn't say anything more, held the flashlight in his mouth, and jumped lightly into the cave.
Ding!
After making sure that it would not affect the place above, Sabo turned on the flashlight and was stunned by what he saw.
A chill instantly enveloped him, making his scalp numb and his face covered in cold sweat.
Not dangerous, just creepy.
Snap!
After landing at the bottom, Sabo looked at the glass jar in front of him. After a moment, he cheered up and began to check his surroundings and shook the rope.
This is a safe signal.
Leaving one person behind to continue to relax, Kerla and another companion jumped off one after another, and like Sabo, his pupils narrowed.
"What's this?!"
Kella covered her mouth, looking a little at a loss.
Sabo was stunned and replied with some emotion.
"Probably, it's a failure!"
The third underground floor is normal. It is just like most people's impressions of a laboratory. The corners and center are filled with silver-white instruments that are incomprehensible. Some documents are scattered on the table in front of the instruments. There are coffee cups not far away.
.
But on one wall, glass jars were inserted into the wall like decorations. Some of the liquid inside had turned green, and the rest also showed an abnormal orange color.
And in the jar, one by one... monsters that could barely be seen as humanoid were connected by tubes and floated in the liquid.
Some people have the head of a tiger, some have arms covered with scales, and there is even a monster with an octopus-like lower body packed tightly in a glass jar, with its mouth split from left to right to the base of its ears.
Vegapunk accidentally discovered the tree of life while researching Devil Fruits.
So what research did he do before discovering the tree of life?
Here, the answer is clear at a glance!
………………
Are these chapters really boring?
Dashu was suddenly attracted by Aite, and when I saw it, I thought, okay, the order was dropped again. Sure enough, it is still a bit difficult for me to control the rhythm.
It’s still the third update today, please wait.
Since I'm procrastinating, I'll move faster. This is my strength.
