In the long and narrow tunnel, the engineering elevator was still going down slowly. The further down, the more people in the elevator felt stuffy and breathless.
Especially the five Tianlong Guards, whose faces have gradually turned rosy due to the high temperature, their mouths need to be opened wide when breathing, and their heads are sweating profusely, which seems a bit laborious.
Tang Jun is considered to be in the best physical condition. Although he feels uncomfortable, he can still endure it. There is no attack, but there are tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.
However, when he turned his head and glanced at Duanmu Feng, he realized the difference between a master and a strong one.
At this time, Duanmu Feng had a sword hanging from his waist. His figure was straight and his face was as heavy as water. He could hardly see any abnormal changes under the influence of high temperature. He was no different from usual, even more cold than usual.
"Get ready, we're coming soon!"
After a long time, Duanmu Feng gave a faint reminder.
After hearing Duan Mufeng's words, everyone cheered up, clenched the guns in their hands, and were ready to deal with all dangers!
Immediately afterwards, there were several soft sounds from the elevator, and finally it slowly stopped.
The moment the elevator door opened, a cool breeze blew directly on everyone's faces, making everyone instantly feel a sense of long-lost comfort.
However, what they saw before them was an empty, pitch-black space. Although they couldn't see clearly what was outside, they could feel that they had entered a huge space.
"Reached?"
One of the team members asked tentatively and took a groping step forward.
As the words fell, a slight response echoed in his ears.
"etc!"
Duanmu Feng said in a deep voice and turned on the flashlight.
Others also hurriedly turned on the flashlights they carried and illuminated their eyes.
As several beams of lights came on, everyone finally saw the situation in front of them clearly, and could vaguely see that they were in a huge cave.
"There should be a switch near the elevator, look carefully."
Duan Mufeng took the lead and walked out with a flashlight, then gave an order.
Everyone nodded, followed them out of the elevator, and began to search nearby.
Soon, someone discovered the location of the switch and pulled it down without hesitation.
As soon as the switch was pulled down, dozens of lights suddenly lit up in the entire cave, and it was brightly lit.
Then they found themselves in a huge research base, and they were on a glass bridge. There were all kinds of unnamed equipment everywhere, and pipes crisscrossed from under the bridge. Passed through and penetrated into the stone wall.
On one of the stone walls, there is a map of City E engraved, which marks every area in the city in great detail, with each area marked with different marks.
Duan Mufeng stood on the bridge, looked around, and couldn't help but frown again, because he found that not only were the equipment still intact, but there was no trace of dust on it!
The entire research base is very clean, as if someone cleans it regularly!
"It seems like there are people coming here all the time!"
Tang Jun slowly walked to Duan Mufeng's side and said solemnly.
"It seems you discovered it too."
Duanmu Feng smiled and said lightly.
He smiled, not because of Tang Jun's attentiveness, but because if someone came, it meant that development and research had not stopped here, and that these equipment could still run!
"Well, otherwise, it would be impossible for the equipment to be spotless after all this time!"
Tang Jun nodded and said seriously.
"Let's go in and take a look, everyone, be careful!"
Duanmu Feng hesitated for a moment and was the first to walk inside.
Tang Jun made a gesture and began to patrol the base with five Tianlong Guards to ensure that there was no danger.
Duanmu Feng observed his surroundings and pondered.
He felt that over the years, someone must have been secretly coming in for development and research. It may have been the instruction of Kyoto's high-level officials who did not really close the place. After all, looking at the world, such geothermal energy resources are also extremely scarce.
After a long time, Duan Mufeng found the central control room of the base. The door was unlocked, so he slowly walked in.
In the entire central control room, one side is a huge monitoring screen, which should be used to monitor all equipment and pipelines. The other side is the console, with a row of computers neatly placed, but the models are a bit old.
There is a desk in the middle, with various research materials and data piled on it, which is a bit messy.
Duan Mufeng reached out and touched the information lightly, then raised his hand to take a look and found that the information was also spotless!
Now he has confirmed that people do come here often, and there is definitely more than one person!
Then, he suddenly found traces of a fight!
An uncapped pen fell in the corner, the tip of its nose was bent, and there was a small rag hanging on the edge of the iron console!
It looked like someone's clothes had been caught on it. Whether it was caused by accident or someone pulled it, we don't know!
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng turned around and looked at the cracked glass he had seen from the corner of his eye when he came in, and instantly frowned!
If you look at these details alone, they don't mean much, but if you connect them with each other, they can prove one thing!
There was an attack here!
"Attention everyone, this place has been attacked. The origin is unknown. They may be mutants. Please be careful!"
Duan Mufeng held the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
"receive!"
"Everyone, work in pairs. Don't act alone. Quickly search every corner of the base!"
"If you encounter danger, report it immediately!"
Tang Jun's voice soon came over the intercom, and then he was heard calmly giving orders immediately.
Duan Mufeng did not search for possible unknown intruders, but came to the control console, checked the control equipment, and confirmed that a series of instruments and instruments on it were intact.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng found the start button, the console immediately started running, and the screens of all the computers in the row lit up.
Then he found the power supply network distribution area, selected only one landmark of the museum in the settings, set it to only power the museum, and finally set it to auto-start after power failure in the startup options.
After a few seconds, a successful connection prompt appears on the screen.
Originally he didn't understand this set of operations, but under the prompts of the super computer, he completed a series of settings!
Duan Mufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the connection was successful. In this way, as soon as the power in the whole city is paralyzed, the equipment here will start on its own and start supplying power to the museum!
With this geothermal energy space station, this space station will be able to play a role when facing the darkest moments corresponding to the four seasons in the future!
Especially the global glacier season after the eternal night!
Since geothermal energy is stored underground, it will not be affected by any weather conditions. Even if the world is covered by glaciers, it will not affect this place, and the place itself is under high temperatures all year round!
Moreover, geothermal energy can also provide thermal energy for heating! Even if the glacier comes by then, everyone will not have to live in extremely cold temperatures all day long.
"Captain?! Captain?!"
"We found a body here! His...his head is missing..."
At this moment, the Tianlong Guard's report suddenly came from the intercom, and the voice was full of unknown panic!
Soon, Tang Jun's voice came from the intercom. After asking for the specific location, he immediately rushed over with the remaining people.
Duan Mufeng frowned, immediately set the device to standby, then quickly walked out of the central control room, locked the door, put the key in his pocket, and hurried towards the direction where the body was found.
Soon, Duan Mufeng came deep into the base and found Tang Jun and others.
The ground here has not been hardened. It is more like a passage that is only half developed. It is not clear where it leads and what it is used for.
There was a headless corpse lying on the ground, and there were still traces of dragging it!
"Feng Shuai, after initial confirmation, the deceased was a male, and he should be between forty-five and fifty-five years old. He seemed to have been attacked by something, and there were many scratches on his body. It doesn't look like it was man-made!"
"It won't take long to die. It should be within the next few days."
Tang Jun checked it carefully, stood up, looked at Duanmu Feng, and said solemnly.
Duan Mufeng looked at the scratches on the corpse with a slightly solemn expression. His first suspicion was that a mutated beast might have broken in!
But if it was a mutant beast, it would be impossible for the base to be so intact. It was just a pen that dropped and cracked the glass.
It's never that simple!
"Continue the search! There must be clues!"
After Duanmu Feng hesitated for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice.
Tang Jun agreed and immediately led five Tianlong Guards to continue searching the base...
