The walls were corroded by rust, and running water kept rushing by. The simple square room had dim lights and lacked electrical appliances.
A mother is holding her child in her arms, sitting in front of her home, looking at the large elevator passage in the distance from time to time, waiting for the family members attending the celebration to return.
This is deep underground in Jielo City. The star network signal is very poor, and many residents in the city cannot afford good personal terminals. Many of them have not even had formal file registration in the federation.
Although the surface is full of ruins, it is still the bright side of Jelou City, which reminds people of its past prosperity and grandeur. The residential areas deep underground are the true portrayal of most of the residents of Jelou City.
Without the various auxiliary AI machines that are common in the homes of federal residents, many things have to be done personally. The complicated labor takes up most of the time in life, but these labors will not bring satisfactory returns, such as washing dishes. No matter how clean it is, it's still the same bowl. Spending hours every day sweeping the floor and cooking will not bring you more happiness.
When something cannot be avoided or even must be done, no matter how interesting it is, after a long time, you will feel disgusted.
Residents living underground spend a lot of time on chores and trivial matters every day. There are no convenient and fast supermarkets here, and there is no smooth logistics at all times. Handmade production is often a last resort. Although this produces some unique handicrafts, it is also called Items that are not rare and have no extraordinary effects are, after all, ordinary objects that can be easily copied and mass-produced, so they cannot be sold at high prices within the Federation.
After stepping on the gray black water on the ground, with some cinder particles still on the edge, Heshia stopped at the overpass and looked down at the world in front of her that was full of gray iron and rust.
"What's wrong?" Feng Jianxue in front turned back and looked at the girl who suddenly stopped.
In order to facilitate movement, the two of them now put on the traditional clothes of Jilou City. The simple wide-sleeved clothes are not gorgeous, but they are very resistant to stains. If they are washed and turned white, it will easily make people return to the harsh environment of ancient times. the illusion.
"Nothing." The girl shook her head and continued moving forward.
Is this the place where her mother grew up? She originally thought it would be that kind of quaint place, but this is not the case in the underground residential area. The ground here has all kinds of residual water, cinders, stains, and the air is also... It is very dull, with a faint odor. There are not many AI self-discipline units responsible for cleaning in Jilou City, and even the domestic water supply is barely adequate.
The houses were not wooden as she had imagined, but more of temporary houses made of gray iron. The walls were just a thin layer of iron. There were not many vehicles on the underground streets, and most of them were old models that had been phased out for many years in the federation. There was no suspension. The kind with flight function.
Without sufficient industrial products to support it, the so-called "antique" is like a wooden table full of oil stains and scratches. Although it looks good from a distance, once you get closer, you don't want to put your hands on the table. .
The life of the ancients was not that good, and the "ancient style" that became popular later was actually a bit of romance left after people stripped away the trivial and complicated parts.
But even so, these existing 'ancient people' still rely on selling this 'romantic fantasy' to make a living.
The solemn sacrificial rituals in the past have now become celebrations that mainly attract tourists with performances. The exaggerated facial makeup, colorful clothes and armor, the re-edited 'tradition', and the deliberately created differences bring a burst of freshness and surprise to the tourists. I was finally willing to spend money on this 'romantic fantasy', and after the festival, only a mess was left, leaving it to the local residents to clean up and wait patiently for the next festival celebration.
It seems that I live for these few days of festival every year, and I only need to maintain my dignity for these few days.
Walking through the streets and alleys beneath Jelou City, Hesia's keen sense could clearly hear the sounds coming from the surrounding residential buildings.
The sound of a fan whirring, a baby crying, pots and pans cooking, a couple quarreling, there is nothing more different in the world than this.
The underground dome here doesn't even have enough light sources, so the streets are dark and depressing twenty-four hours a day.
After walking briskly for more than half an hour, the two finally came to a closed gate. There were several 'god generals' guarding both sides of the gate. There were also laser cameras and temporarily closed machine gun ports on the side.
The entire gate is in a sunken concrete structure, making it impossible to get around from one side and difficult to blast on all sides.
"This is the first checkpoint, but it is also the most troublesome." Feng Jianxue took Hexia to a nearby street corner and hid for the time being, watching the passage over there from a distance.
"If you want to go around, you can only use violent methods to blast the opening from the upper level. In that way, the people from the Burning Sun City have demonstrated it to me before. Although I went in, it was because of the too much movement. Directly exposed.”
"If we don't want to enter by killing, we can only use some mild methods to sneak in." Feng Jianxue turned around, shook her fan, and analyzed it for Hexia.
"Generally speaking, who can pass freely?" Hesia asked after thinking.
"Well, this should be the guards directly under Juliu City, the 'divine generals', or the staff there, but those people rarely act alone, and the two of us walking over would look very weird." Feng Jianxue Rub your chin.
"Do you have a passport?" the girl asked.
"I haven't got it yet." Feng Jianxue said embarrassedly.
"I was going to do it, but something unexpected happened today. Now that the people from Burning Sun City have taken action, it would be a pity if we don't make good use of this gap."
"It's really..."
Hexia shook her head, feeling that she had made an unreliable choice by coming here with Feng Jianxue.
If she were just herself, it would not be difficult to pass through the level in a blink of an eye, or use her natural ability to open a passage on the unoccupied concrete layer on one side.
"Mr. Feng Jianxue is very disappointing." The girl expressed her thoughts.
Shocked by the girl's words, Feng Jianxue couldn't help but gritted his teeth.
"Well, today is a boast anyway." He took out an extremely delicate chip and inserted it into his personal terminal.
After a while, the silver personal terminal levitated and began to scan the surrounding area.
[Scan environment, analyze...]
[137 device interfaces found, please select the penetration target]
Feng Jianxue began to operate, her fingertips quickly entered data on the projected keyboard, then adjusted and selected the target.
[Load into the opponent's database...1%...3%...]
"Thankfully they are using an old model and haven't updated the system, so this shouldn't be a big problem." Feng Jianxue wiped the sweat from his forehead. If the hacker chip didn't work, he had no other good solution.
However, after such chips were produced on the underground black market, in order to ensure profits, the number of times and duration of use were set from the beginning, and they would be automatically melted down when expired. Jian Xue was not the kind of person who was short of money, but she still felt heartbroken.
"Okay, now let's find a car to cover up and say we're sending something underground." A few minutes later, Feng Jianxue pulled out the chip and said it was done.
"Yeah." Hesia glanced at the passage in the distance. She heard some vague explosions coming from inside, as if a battle was taking place.
Taking a temporarily found car, Feng Jianxue drove to the passage as the driver.
"We are transporting fruit in." He found records of the entry and exit of fruit trucks in the database, and the time points were roughly matched.
"What fruit?"
"This is the yellow jade watermelon from the Withered Tree Garden. Would you like to try some?"
"Forget it, you go in." If it were normal times, they might have ordered it, but this was an extraordinary moment. The communication machine kept sending messages of war. The people left behind were not in the mood, and they did not want to be caught by the big shots who came immediately. Seen stealing food.
The passage slowly opened, and Heshia, who was sitting in the car with her legs curled up, gently stroked the big spider in front of her and fed it some watermelon chunks.
"We'll finish eating now, and we'll have a fight later."
After driving through the passage, there is a huge downward slope, with a straight line distance of about 2 kilometers. As it continues downward, a world hidden underground slowly emerges.
The dome is covered with thousands of red flags hanging down. The lights are dim and the red flags are fluttering. The light irradiates the entire underground space with a layer of red clouds.
Palaces, terraces and pavilions are spread all over the ground, and at the very front of the main road is an underground majestic city with majestic vermilion towers and high city walls. Now in front of the city gate, two giant ten-meter-high The spirit god is fighting the invading enemy.
Explosions of rockets and machine gun bullets hit the armor of the giant spirit generals, only causing sparks to fly without causing any damage. These two 'giant spirit generals' were built during the heyday of Jilou City. The entire body is made of bead-grade purple chromium alloy stamping. Even after hundreds of years, it is still extremely strong and cannot be damaged by ordinary means.
However, facing such a gatekeeper, the attacking priests in black had already expected that the boiling and burning black flame lightsabers in their hands were developed forty years ago by the giant enterprise "Eye of the Dragon" in the federation. A new product with extremely strong armor-breaking ability, it can even open holes in starships.
However, like all rushing lightsabers, it consumes huge amounts of energy. Even a Sequence 5 transcendent can only swing it for 1-2 minutes at most before running out of magic power.
More than a dozen priests in the outer circle were holding firearms and thermal weapons to resist the self-discipline units coming from all directions. They kept shooting at each other. Although there were casualties, they bought time for the ten companions in the inner circle who were holding black flame lightsabers.
"When the scorching sun was half-covered and half-dark, the messenger with black wings spread out fell from the sky. He closed his eyes and mouth, holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other. On the book were written the names of one hundred and fourteen thousand seven hundred and twenty-one sinners. When the sword is swung down, black flames will burn, causing sinners to burn to death and the world to be cleansed."
Ten people recited ancient prayers, and then a black pattern appeared in the circle they formed. It was an angel with wings on his back, wearing a broken robe, with chains on his ankles and wrists, and on his head. There are also headbands that resemble shackles and iron nails.
The overall style of the pattern appears painful, depressing, and sinful. Yes, this is the emblem of the Burning Sun City, the largest prison and confessional church in the Northern Star District in the past, and the object of their worship is the Angel of Pain, Meredith. .
Black wings woven with magical power appeared behind the ten people, and then they jumped up and rushed towards the 'giant god general' who was wielding a huge weapon.
The bodies staggered and suddenly swarmed up. The flames washed over the purple chrome alloy, making a roaring and boiling sound. In the fire, high-temperature metal liquid splashed and sprinkled on the attacking priests in black, leaving smoking scars. But they Still unmoved, he inserted the flaming lightsaber straight into the joint gap of the giant spirit god general, causing a large amount of sparks and noise.
These fanatical priests are no longer afraid of pain. They are the angel believers who feed on pain.
In front of the fiercely fighting city gate, on the road in the distance, a lonely car kept approaching it, and the warning bells rang in Juliu City, and a beam of light rose from the city, straight like a beacon. Rushing to the surface, breaking through layers of clouds and mist.
