In Li Liang's imagination, the Deep Sea Gate should be more like a "door", glorious and colorful, while the huge pure black sphere in front of him is more like an installation art in an art museum.
In addition, the space that holds the Deep Sea Gate cannot be described in words just how wide it is.
Li Liang was very suspicious. It might be about the same size as Zhongjing.
The smooth dark gold metal floor spreads as far as the eye can see, and the four triangular walls exude a milky white light, converging at the top corner.
A huge column hangs down from the top corner. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see countless slender lights projecting down from the column, weaving into a fine net and covering the deep sea gate directly below.
Surrounding the Deep Sea Gate are dozens of super cannons, each with a base diameter of more than one kilometer.
Surrounding the giant cannon are small-caliber rapid-fire cannons, large-caliber cannons, close-in defense cannons, and electromagnetic guns arrayed vertically and horizontally. The sloping muzzles are like pieces of steel grassland.
Li Liang stared blankly at the gate of the deep sea.
When it first appeared, the Xi'an standing here must have had a similar feeling to him - what was in that pure black sphere?
At some point, Lingye summoned a four-wheel convertible electric car.
Taking the car all the way deeper, Li Liang noticed more details.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals. Groups of drones were cruising close to the ground. Countless armed robots were patrolling on fixed routes. Many weapons showed rusty structures and seemed to have not been used for many years.
Thirty minutes later, Li Liang saw a large area of ruins extending all the way to the gate of the deep sea.
There are more robots wandering here, and it is obvious that this is the first battlefield against the Netherworld.
Ling Ye, who was sitting in front, looked at the tablet in his hand and said: "For some unknown reason, the Netherworld stopped invading two hours ago. There are still thirty animals trapped in Active Defense Fort No. 5, and those wandering around the periphery have basically stopped. annihilated.”
"What did the consultant say?" Li Liang asked.
"The consultant said... the situation is not optimistic," Ling Ye sighed, "This is probably a precursor to some more powerful creature approaching the entrance."
Li Liang thought for a moment and said, "I want to talk to the consultant alone."
Ling Ye stared ahead and remained silent.
Li Liang understood that no matter how well performed the passionate scene between him and Cain in the carriage was, it was a bit abrupt and it was normal for Ye to be suspicious. However, now the sergeant major could only choose to trust him.
More than ten minutes later, the electric car finally approached the gate of the deep sea. During this period, scrapped weapons and equipment were everywhere on both sides of the road, and some were still emitting black smoke, which showed that the destructive power of the Netherworld was much stronger than imagined.
At the same time, building communities of different heights and shapes are also revealed.
The tram drove straight towards a hemispherical bunker-like building. Its size was very small compared to the super cannon, but it was actually the size of a stadium.
Two explosion-proof doors like city walls opened automatically, and the tram slowly drove in.
The interior of the building looks like a research institute, with frosted glass doors everywhere. Occasionally, engineers wearing white gowns will come in and out holding tablet computers. At a glance, you can see the flashing holographic device inside the door.
It seems that this is the temporary command post of the garrison.
Just as the tram stopped in the corner of the hall, an engineer in a blue coat hurriedly approached and said quickly: "Sergeant major, communication from Xi'an."
Xian?
Li Liang was stunned.
At this time, Lingye turned around and stared at Li Liang meaningfully, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"lead the way."
Li Liang said calmly.
Just when he stepped into this building, he suddenly had a vague guess about Xi'an. Perhaps this communication could verify this idea.
ten minutes later.
In a spacious conference room, Li Liang and Ling Ye were sitting at the conference table, quietly waiting for the communication connection.
A holographic image with the words "Xi'an Company" slowly rotated opposite them.
The next moment, the holographic device flashed.
A woman wearing a short professional skirt appeared on the chair opposite. At first, she was a little shaken and blurry, but for a moment she became indistinguishable from a real person.
The woman adjusted her glasses and said casually: "This is Xi'an. I just noticed an abnormal event report. May I ask the two gentlemen here, which one is Ling Ye?"
"I am the sergeant major of the Zhenjie Fort garrison, Ling Ye." Ling Ye lowered his head slightly.
"Oh," the woman nodded, "Hello, Sergeant Major, I saw that the report you submitted showed that a group of creatures from the spiritual world broke through the barrier and invaded the Zhenjie Fort."
"Yes."
"Is the situation currently under control?"
"...Yes," Lingye said with a frown, "but..."
The woman interrupted him and said quickly: "We will send ten armed robot troops to reinforce Zhenjie Fort. Well... there are also thirty Ten Thousand Captain robots. Any other questions, Sergeant Major."
Lingye shook his head: "It's not just a matter of reinforcements. The consultant believes that a large number of spirits are gathering at the entrance of our world, which is likely to attract a more powerful ghost..."
"Okay..." the woman interrupted again, "Twenty armed robot troops, forty thousand captains, any questions, Sergeant Major?"
Li Liang glanced at Ling Ye beside him and saw his expression gradually change from gloomy to angry.
"What's your name, madam," Lingye said in a low voice.
"Oh, my name is Li Feifei, sergeant major."
"Ms. Li Feifei, do you know what it means once Zhenjie Fort falls?"
"It means we need to spend more resources to repair a useless facility," Li Feifei smiled, "so I hope you can handle this intrusion properly."
Lingye took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, glanced at Li Liang, and said slowly: "The gentleman next to him claims to be from Xi'an."
"Oh?" Li Feifei turned to Li Liang and raised her eyes, "Which family are you from?"
Li Liang's face was expressionless.
"Well... let me take a look," Li Feifei said, clicking on the conference table and looking at the empty space, obviously looking at a device around her that was not projected.
At this moment, Li Liang faced Xi'an for the first time, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
For a moment, Li Feifei's face showed an expression of extreme surprise: "Thank you to the Twin Gods, I am so honored. I'm sorry, I really... you know, we haven't listened to the gospel of the gods for a long time, ah, I can know your A title?"
Public, pantheon of gods? Isn’t it the Hall of Valor?
Li Liang was confused, frowned and said, "No."
"I'm sorry, I offended you, I'm sorry," Li Feifei burst into tears, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Keep it secret."
Li Feifei nodded quickly: "Oh oh oh, okay, this conversation will never be recorded, I promise the Twin Gods!"
"So be it."
Li Liang rubbed his eyebrows. This action was not a show, he really had a headache.
What are the pantheons?
However, this call really verified his idea, that is - Xi'an senior officials don't care at all about what is happening on Earth, including the Deep Sea Gate.
Those real Xi'an senior officials may have already become a new ethnic group, and humans are just captive pets to them.
Civilians, including those who directly serve Xi'an like Yuan Zhen and Ling Ye, are simply not qualified to master higher-level information.
In layman's terms, they have never seen the real senior leaders of Xi'an at all.
Therefore, Li Liang finally realized that he had overestimated Yuan Zhen and Ling Ye even more.
All of this is just a trivial matter to Xi'an.
The hologram has been turned off and the conference room is silent.
"Ling Ye," Li Liang closed his eyes and asked softly, "What do you think Xi'an is."
Ling Ye, who no longer had any doubts about Li Liang's identity, was silent for a long time and said tiredly: "Faith, air, or...a cold machine."
Li Liang sighed: "Take me to see the consultant."
