Looking at the abyss in front of them that was larger than a football stadium, Yu Zhesen, An Zhitian and Messe were filled with awe and shock.
Beyond the abyss is a barren desert. There is no vegetation at all. Colorful gem-like crystal clusters grow and spread along the edge of the abyss cliff, guarding the abyss like thorn bushes.
"Has the research institute been destroyed?" An Zhitian murmured.
"It should be under the abyss..." Yu Zhesen remembered that when he and An He crossed over together, they were in a geode on the inner wall of the abyss.
The entire research institute responsible for executing the Iron Dome project is built into the rock walls of the abyss.
Moses took the lead and walked to the edge of the cliff ahead. The white eye mask on his face opened the left half, revealing a round red electronic eye.
"It's too deep, it's beyond the limit of my vision." After looking downward for a while, Mercer shook his head.
Yu Zhesen came to his side and looked into the bottomless darkness below the crack. However, with the double bonus of God's blood and exoskeleton, he still couldn't see anything.
Not even the remains of the research institute can be seen...
After standing on the edge of the cliff for a few minutes, Yu Zhesen felt that his hands and feet had become cold, and his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Although he had made some mental preparations before coming here, when he actually stood here and looked down, he was still affected by this sense of reality that was like swallowing hope.
He remembered the classic and old-fashioned theory - Schrödinger's cat.
Before returning to that world, An He was in a state of unknown life and death for all of them, just like the cat locked in a box in Schrödinger's experiment.
Once the box is opened, life or death will be decided.
"Asen, stop looking." An Zhitian put his hand on Yu Zhesen's shoulder from behind and said, "Do you know who Xiao An admires most in her life?"
"My mother?" Yu Zhesen turned around, his voice a little soft.
"Yes, Huai Xia is the senior idol that she dreams of catching up with. She is the benchmark of the Security Bureau and the pride of all of us." An Zhitian nodded, "I think Xiao An chose to let herself stay, which she carefully considered. Answer. Now, she is a role model comparable to Huai Xia."
"But who knows?" Yu Zhesen subconsciously raised the back of his hand to touch his face. The clear metal sound of the collision between the hand armor and the face armor reminded him that he was still wearing an exoskeleton armor at this time, so there was nothing he could do. Wipe your eyes.
An Zhitian said calmly: "We know, that's enough."
"..." Yu Zhesen was speechless to refute such lofty words, he just kept shaking his head slightly.
"The people Xiao An cares about most know that she has done great things, and that is enough." An Zhitian patted his adopted son on the shoulder hard.
Yu Zhesen opened his mouth in surprise under his visor, because he remembered that An Zhitian had never spoken in such a soft tone since he grew up.
"Excuse me, you two, we seem to have come with a purpose." Messer opened the prosthetic computer display panel on his left arm, "Since the research institute is gone, whether it is Jin Guozheng himself or the two who kidnapped Claire and the others,
Every criminal with a special ability should need to find another base to stay. I have a map near the research institute, let's study where they might go."
"Do you have a map?" Yu Zhesen came over in surprise upon hearing this.
What he was thinking was that maybe An He also left the research institute at the last moment and was waiting to meet them again somewhere nearby.
Hearing that there was a map, An Zhitian also came closer. The father and son lowered their heads to study.
However, they soon discovered that Moses' map could not be said to be completely inconsistent with reality, at least it was far from it.
Because the nearby cities, villages, roads, bridges, etc. that were densely marked on the map are now all gone, replaced by an endless stretch of desert.
"Can this be seen as a ghost?" Yu Zhesen was a little discouraged.
"We are here now, and you look at this red dot. Do you see this? This is a location code-named 'X03'." Messer pointed to a location about thirty kilometers away from here and said, "This kind of
The places with code names are usually military installations. This place is so close to the institute, so it was probably the military garrison responsible for protecting the institute at that time."
"Military base?"
Messer smiled: "Yes, military base, do you know what this means?"
Yu Zhesen understood what he meant: "There is a place to stay and necessary supplies that may be stored..."
"Yes, in short, it is a place that can be used as a base. Let's go and have a look."
After hearing Mercer's proposal, Yu Zhesen turned to look at An Zhitian and found that he had no objection.
So the three of them immediately decided to head towards the "X03" location on the Mercer map.
Yu Zhesen and An Zhitian both wear exoskeleton armor, while Messer is highly prosthetic. It is not a problem for them to travel long distances quickly in the harsh environment of the desert.
The group completed the thirty-kilometer journey in less than half an hour.
High and raised wind-eroded rock walls surround a pentagonal valley, which is also filled with yellow sand.
An Zhitian looked into the valley through the over-the-horizon sensor of the exoskeleton and said slowly: "This place does look like a military base. There are still antennas for communication facilities that are not submerged by the yellow sand. They are probably the commander of a small airport.
Tower..."
"But there isn't even a decent building." Yu Zhesen said disappointedly. "Even if there is a circular valley that can block the wind and sand a little, it doesn't look like a shelter that can be stayed for a long time."
"There is not one on the ground, but there may be one underground." Mercer walked in and took over the conversation. "As far as I know, the last war in the old era was very crazy. In order to avoid being easily destroyed by the enemy, the main body of the military base was
Building part of it underground is a very common option.”

"Even if there is a cave underground, the entrance is probably buried by sand." Yu Zhesen is not optimistic about Messer's statement. "With this level of sand erosion, hundreds of construction machinery for excavation cannot solve the problem." p>
"Asen, that's not necessarily true. Look over there." An Zhitian stretched out his hand to point to Yu Zhesen the inconspicuous aluminum-steel building half-buried in the sand on the side of the valley entrance.
"Is that... an outpost? Or a bunker? Hello Mr. Messer, you just walked over there?"
Yu Zhesen was surprised by Moses' bold action style.
According to his cautious thoughts, there might be an automated warning device outside this kind of military base. The aluminum steel building half buried in the sand looks very much like a fortress.
Although Messer's whole body is highly prosthetic, the strength of the prosthetic body may not be able to withstand the attack of military weapons. Yu Zhesen was really afraid that he would be shattered by an automatic machine gun that suddenly appeared halfway.
While Yu Zhesen was thinking wildly and worrying, Moses had already walked to the entrance of the small building safe and sound.
"It seems that the people inside are more hospitable and even left the door open for us." Mercer said humorously to the half-open automatic door of the building.
Yu Zhesen and An Zhitian took a closer look to see what was left of the door. It was basically that the automatic door of this building was stuck in the sand and could not move. It could neither be fully opened nor fully closed, and could only remain half-open.
.
"Two quad bikes specially designed for sand..." Messer stepped forward to check and said with surprise: "The charging pipeline can still work normally, which means there is no problem with the energy operation system here. Now
We may actually be in the right place."
Yu Zhesen was not as relaxed as him, and said to himself: "That means there may be a fierce battle soon."
