Just when everyone was about to pass through the door of the hall, the wall closest to them suddenly became brighter, and then a figure appeared on the wall. Hao Ren and the others immediately reacted and looked at the person on the big screen in surprise.
He is a middle-aged man with gray hair and a majestic and serious appearance. He wears a straight black uniform with gold trim and two rows of large golden buttons buttoned up to his chin.
The man who appeared on the big screen looked at Hao Ren and his party with some surprise in his eyes: "Why are you outside?"
Hao Ren had already adapted to the deserted ghost town on this planet, but he didn't expect that he suddenly saw a living person on the screen. He was shocked: "Fuck me... 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?"
She didn't speak clearly. Out of caution, she tried to be vague about the origins of her group. The person on the big screen didn't seem to think much about it. He just nodded: "Very good, got back safely."
The safe zone is good, I hope you are not affected by the radiation near the engine. The guide robot will take you to the shelter, and then a civil investigator will ask you about your situation."
After the words fell, the big screen on the wall dimmed again, and quickly returned to its original appearance. Hao Ren and the others looked at each other, always feeling a little strange about this person who suddenly appeared, but they couldn't say anything wrong.
Where exactly is the feeling?
"There are actually people on this planet?" Lily smacked her lips with a look of disbelief.
Vivian touched 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!"
The group of people walked through the hall door under the leadership of the small robot and entered a long corridor illuminated by red lights. The robot signaled them to go to the opposite side of the corridor to complete the disinfection. Hao Ren muttered in confusion as he walked.
: "But there's something wrong with this..."
"There's something wrong." Vivian still remembered what everyone had discussed before, "The original sun of this planet erupted ten thousand 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 10,000 years ago?! Did they sleep next to the cooled star for 10,000 years before?"
Lily suddenly curled her lips and said, "Do you think everyone else sleeps like you and risk their lives?"
This husky never forgets to quarrel with his enemy even in his busy schedule.
Nangong Wuyue had a complicated look on her face, a little expectant and a little scared: "Are my parents in that shelter?"
Hao Ren immediately reacted: "Yes! Since there is a shelter here, Nangong and his wife were probably taken in, just like us!"
Everyone thought it made sense, and they all quickly walked through the corridor. There was another guidance robot waiting for them at the end of the corridor. The small robot opened the semicircular gate at the front of the corridor, and a special small room appeared.
In front of everyone.
The small room was empty and nothing else could be seen. There was only a large column in the center. On the front of the column was a translucent glass door, and a lift-like device could be seen inside - it seemed that the shelter was underground.
In order to get to the shelter smoothly, Hao Ren and the others were very cooperative at this time, watching quietly as the little robot opened the door of the elevator and motioned for everyone to enter. But when everyone walked onto the elevator platform, Hao Ren's peripheral vision suddenly
Saw something.
It was a long sea serpent's tail - May's.
"Wait a minute," Hao Ren's mind suddenly stirred, "In May, have you been maintaining this form just now?"
May moved her tail for no apparent reason to get herself into a more comfortable position (a narrow place like the elevator was a bit cramped for her big body, but she had no 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 reacted at this time. She even touched her ears and tail, "Also, there is my appearance..."
Wuyue immediately coiled her tail tightly into a ball. She became nervous: "Could it be a trap?!"
At this time, the elevator door had closed, and the entire platform began to accelerate down to the ground. Hao Ren glanced at the metal frame and mechanical layer that flashed outside. He gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever, let's take a look at the situation. Let's all be more 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 hard: "You idiot, put your claws away quickly! This is the elevator...hey, my clothes! I only have two good clothes!"
"Can't you two live in peace in this situation?" Hao Ren sometimes really has nothing to do with these two enemies, so he can only lean to the side to hide in peace. And Y'zaks looked down at the ground of the elevator platform.
: The ground is inlaid with decorative transparent glass, and you can see the situation below. Now you can only see a faint light coming from the bottom of the extremely deep shaft: "It seems that the shelter is located very deep underground."
"Perhaps it is to maintain the ecosystem with the help of geothermal heat," Hao Ren recalled the bit of professional knowledge in his mind, "a shelter solution commonly used by low-tech civilizations."
This deep shaft seemed to have no end. Everyone in the elevator waited nervously, vigilantly, or expectantly for a long time, but it didn't end. Anyway, Lily's seriousness only lasted for five minutes before she couldn't hold on any longer, so she simply squatted on the ground and started.
Scratching the floor, when she drew the third simple drawing of a puppy on the floor, everyone finally felt the whole car shake slightly, and the sound of a mechanical device locking came from outside.
Yzaks looked up: "At least dozens of kilometers away... I'm afraid it's just like what you said. They are using underground magma to maintain the heat of the shelter."
With a soft sound of "chichi", the elevator door slid open to both sides. Nangong Sanba immediately threw a small piece of rune paper outside, and the paper turned into a human shadow outside and walked a few steps.
, but it did not trigger any traps or anything like that. Then he raised his crossbow and walked out cautiously: "It's safe, follow me."
"Your brother is quite reliable sometimes." Vivian said casually to May.
Wuyue curled her lips: "If he didn't even have this little hunter skill, he would have died in an unknown castle long ago... Wow!"
May's words were interrupted by her own exclamation. Everyone came out of the elevator and were stunned by the scene outside!
What I saw outside the elevator was not the low and cramped steel shelter I imagined, nor could I see the narrow living cabins stacked up one after another like prisons. There was actually a huge city outside!
He saw neat and wide roads extending in front of him, and tall buildings were arranged in an orderly manner. Lush plants and decorative artificial landscapes could also be seen between the buildings. Hao Ren looked back and found that when everyone came
The elevator passage he was riding on was actually a huge pillar that stretched from sky to earth in the city. This pillar was in the center of a square formed by the intersection of several roads. In the distance, he could vaguely see other similar pillars.
.
It seems there is more than one entrance to the sanctuary.
Lily stared with her mouth open for a long time before holding back a sentence: "...As a shelter, this place is really exaggerated."
Yzaks looked up directly above. The city was not dark. On the contrary, it was as bright as daylight under the large amount of lights above. Yzaks squinted and looked through the "light nets" that simulated skylight.
"I saw a rough rock ceiling and a huge steel support structure through the gap: "There are rock formations above... This is a huge cave. I don't know if it was dug artificially or if the planet was born with such a structure."
Vivian immediately looked up and stared at the rock tops above, stunned, and muttered: "Caves..."
Hao Ren subconsciously replied: "You don't plan to go up there and 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 away: "Hey, bat." (To be continued...)
