At first glance, Ma Tao saw two monitors hanging on the ceiling. The blue body probes were flashing red dots. They were facing the entrance. Ma Tao saw the monitors, and these two The monitor also noticed Ma Tao. In less than a second when Ma Tao probed and observed, two defenders had already moved over quickly, one to the left and one to the right.
Ma Tao has already experienced the mechanical monster of the Defender. He first fought against it at the dock where he obtained the jeep. This thing has an attack method like a nail gun and its huge mechanical claws, which are powerful enough to destroy a tank. All mentioned, it was really dangerous at that time, but now, Ma Tao is not too worried. With the defensive power of the silver-clad mecha, as long as you pay attention not to get caught, the destructive power of this thing can be ignored.
Ma Tao knew from the two defenders flashing alarms and moving toward the door that he and others had been discovered. Since they were discovered, there was no need to hide. He immediately roared and rushed towards the defender on the left. Rushed over.
On the other side, Xiao Jinzi and Su Lanyu were not slow in their movements. They had experienced countless battles. As soon as Ma Tao finished speaking, they also rushed in.
Su Lanxi also wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Xijia. Xijia paused for two seconds before passing her and rushing in after her.
Only Ma Tao saw what was going on inside. They didn't know yet that Xiao Jinzi and Su Lanyu could follow without hesitation relying on their trust. The reason why Xijia held Su Lanxi was for protection, because the first wave of people entered After that, it can be used as a surprise. The opponent's counterattack is likely to fall on the person behind. The reason why he waited for two seconds was to confirm that he did not encounter the opponent's counterattack, so Xijia stopped Su Lanxi who was about to follow him. As for the following He had no time to care about Zhang San and the brown-haired girl.
Ma Tao, who rushed into the entrance, raised the rocket launcher armed with his right hand and fired a rocket. Today's weapons are incomparable to the long guns and short cannons of the past. The defense device that was moving towards the door was hit. There was an explosion, and the khaki mechanical claw was blown to pieces and burned. The moving defender suddenly turned into a big fireball and stopped.
Another defense device fired a few nails at Ma Tao from a distance, hitting the silver-clad mecha with a clanking sound, but causing no damage. However, the attack of this defense device ended here. Gold was also beaten into scrap metal with a rocket launcher.
This is the advantage of hot weapons. They are always faster than cold weapons. Su Lanyu came in and jumped up. He raised the meteorite sword and cut off a monitor. Several sparks popped out from the broken wires. Then a puff of white smoke came out, and the blinking red dot of the monitor probe that fell to the ground dimmed. The other one was directly burned by Xijia's laser weapon. Just like that, the battle ended. , it was too late to say it, but it was fast then. It took less than a minute in total. Everyone moved very quickly and had a tacit understanding.
After checking that the two defenders were indeed scrapped, it didn't matter. The one that turned into a fireball didn't need to be looked at. The metal shell of the other defender actually had the logo of the Creation Alliance printed on it. This really caught everyone's attention. Stupid, when did Noah's mechanical monsters be taken over by the Creation Alliance?
"Hey guys, has the Creation Alliance started creating monsters?"
Xiao Jinzi stared at the eye-catching Creation Sword on the broken machine and said.
"What the hell is this Creation Alliance doing?"
Ma Tao was also confused. He looked at Xijia beside him and saw that he also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Colluding with Noah will definitely not be a good thing."
Su Lanxi said.
"I feel the same way!"
Xiao Jinzi jumped in agreement.
After confirming that the two defenders were all scrapped and there was no danger, everyone had time to look around the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the doorway they were standing at was blocked by a circle of wooden stakes, blocking any vehicle from entering. The narrow tire tracks with mud on the ground had disappeared, but the intricate mud footprints on the ground pointed their names to everyone. It was obvious that the people responsible for transporting had carried the small cars in.
The entire building is made of thick cement walls. The distance between the roof and the ground is almost ten meters. On the right is a quite huge machine. I don’t know what it does. This height is mainly to accommodate it. This is a large machine. However, this machine is too big. The machine is surrounded by steel plates and is eight or nine meters high. It took Ma Tao almost seven or eight minutes to circle around it. There are two stairs in the front. After going up, there was a green conveyor belt that was constantly running. At the end of the conveyor belt was a huge black hole. It was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside. Ma Tao went down the stairs and picked up a stone and put it on the conveyor belt. He was transported along the conveyor belt until he fell into the bottomless black hole, but no sound came out. Ma Tao couldn't help but frown.
The sound of the machine running that I heard earlier came from this.
"There is writing over here!"
Su Lanxi noticed two notices posted under the stairs to the machine, one of which was an operating instruction and the other was a warning slogan of 'pay attention to safety'.
From the operating instructions, we know that this huge machine is a garbage transportation line, and you only need to throw all kinds of garbage on the conveyor belt and throw it in.
"Isn't this a crusher down here?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the big black hole, which really looked like the huge mouth of a monster. The more he looked at it, the more he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
"Who knows, it's not a good place anyway."
Zhang San, who came up with him, held on tightly.
On the handrail on the side, I peeked into the hole at the end of the conveyor belt and quickly retracted.
"Look at how timid you are."
Xiao Jinzi glanced at the slovenly Zhang San.
"I'm...afraid of heights..."
Zhang San didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not. He came up standing, almost squatting on the stairs and moved down bit by bit. His legs were very weak and shaking violently.
On the right is a place similar to an office area. The many footprints stained with soil all extend into the office area. Only when Ma Tao and the others arrived did they realize that there was a place to come in next to it. It was just a corner, a collapsed wall, and the surrounding area was pitch black. Su Lanyu dipped his hand into some black ash, put it under his nose, smelled it and said, "It's gunpowder. This wall was blown apart."
"It's also possible that it was blasted away by artillery."
Saiga said.
"There's no one, let's keep looking inside."
Ma Tao didn't take the time to study the broken wall. So what if it was blown open? Could it be possible to go back and get the chariot? Even if they get the chariot, how can they get through the woods? Even if they can finally drive the chariot through, Gao Han and the others will probably have their day lilies cold.
Looking at everything around, there are no stairs or other passages. The only thing left is the area that should be the office area, and that's where the footprints on the ground are spreading.
The entrance to the area that was supposed to be the office area is very narrow and can only accommodate one person at a time, because the lights in the entire building are still working. Although they are not very bright, they are all incandescent lamps that emit a dim light, but the lighting is enough. .
Don't underestimate this ancient tungsten filament incandescent lamp. Someone did an experiment and lit a tungsten filament incandescent lamp for a long time to know how long it would last. As a result, the bulb was still on for more than a hundred years. Despite all the efforts of the scientists who originally conducted this experiment, the light bulb is still tenacious. With this quality, even if it is some high-tech LED electronic lamps or hernia lamps in the future, it can only maintain a continuous lighting time of 10,000 hours at most. , and this oldest light bulb, the tungsten filament incandescent lamp, is the most reliable.
The team was still led by Ma Tao and Xijia, and the others filed in, extending in echelons, each looking for a favorable defensive position. However, they encountered no danger or accident.
There is a partition area inside. There are three copywriting iron cabinets facing the door. Through the dusty glass, you can see that there are some books and file bags inside, as well as some jars containing some kind of containers. The books and files in the cabinet were all moldy, and the clumps of mold shrouded all the books and documents inside. The handles of the cabinet were all covered in dust, and it looked like no one had ever opened them again.
Ma Tao and others only took a few glances into the cabinet.
Although the documents and secretaries in the cabinet should contain records and notes about this place, after so many years, let alone the mold inside, it can no longer be seen. Even if some are not moldy, they are all paper products after all. After so many years, it will break into pieces if touched with hands, and cannot provide any useful information at all.
To the south of the partition is a separate area with two wooden bar tables. Opposite is another entrance, also without a door.
Through this entrance is a corridor, with stairs at the end.
At the entrance of the stairs, Ma Tao looked down. The bottom was not deep and he could see the stone brick floor below, so he went downstairs directly.
After coming down, there is another gentle platform, and on the opposite side is another downward staircase. You can vaguely hear the movement of some machines. The sound is exactly the same as the movement of the conveyor belt just above.
Ma Tao looked back at Xiao Jinzi and Su Lanyu. One of them raised the rocket launcher and the other drew out his sword. Ma Tao and Xijia touched down the wall at the edge of the stairs, one on the left and the other on the right.
Fortunately, there was light in the area below. If it was pitch black, Ma Tao would not dare to come down so rashly. If he was suddenly attacked in a dark environment, he would be shocked even if he was not injured.
They still didn't encounter any danger when they got down there, which made people feel curious. Except for the defenders and monitors they encountered at the door, there wasn't even a mouse down there. It didn't look like a garbage disposal site at all. ?
Sure enough, there is really a conveyor belt for transporting goods. The entire conveyor belt equipment is one or two hundred meters long. The rumbling transmission bearings drive the green conveyor belt all the way inward until it disappears into a pipe.
"Is there... no way out?"
Su Lanxi looked at the sealed wall at the end of the conveyor belt and said.
"It can't be said that there is no way..."
Ma Tao stared at the deep transmission channel where the conveyor belt disappeared for a moment and replied.
"You're not going to get on the conveyor belt, are you? Isn't this thing used to transport garbage?"
Xiao Jinzi immediately understood what he was thinking, looked at the tall conveyor belt running continuously, and then said: "If there is really some kind of large crusher at the end of the passage, then don't we all line up to go in?" "Hipped my fart"
"But this is the only possibility. Otherwise, how did those people disappear here?"
Coming down from the top, the footprints that were originally stained with mud have faded to the point where they are almost gone. The only possibility is that those guys left here on this large teleportation bed. Ma Tao had this idea.
"Then... maybe there is some mechanism here..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the cement walls around him, and the more he talked, the less movement there was.
If an organic door is left on such a cement wall, it will often
If it is always open, the gap will be very obvious. If there is a secret door, it will definitely be discovered.
"I also think they should have taken the conveyor belt."
Su Lanyu checked the stairs leading to the conveyor belt and found that there was a piece of mud on the upper step that was artificially stuck to the edge of the stairs. It should be the mud mark left by one of the people who used the stairs to hang the soles of his shoes.
As he spoke, Su Lanyu pointed to the piece of mud stuck to the stairs and said, "Look at this."
Everyone looked at it immediately, and then all looked at the top of the conveyor belt.
"Then what are you waiting for? Come on!"
Since others can walk, you can do it yourself. Knowing that someone has sat on the conveyor belt, Xiao Jinzi is no longer afraid of whether there will be a crusher or something inside. Otherwise, aren't those people already dead? There can't be anyone. Fei Zhouzhang came here just to die, right?
Everyone immediately climbed onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt that was constantly moving was like a straight-moving elevator, and it was very spacious. Even if one or two adults could lie down, there would be no problem. Moreover, the chain belt was made of a straight steel structure, Ma Tao. I think it would be no problem to run a tank on it.
The conveyor belt is four or five meters away from the ground. It moves forward at a speed that is not very fast, but maintains the walking speed of a normal adult. Standing on it, it is like riding a straight elevator, which is quite interesting.
Seven people maintain a triangle on the conveyor belt. Ma Tao, Xijia, and Xiao Jinzi stand at the three corners, and the others gather in the middle. This ensures that even if they encounter any danger when entering the conveyor belt channel, It can also respond or counterattack immediately.
Gradually, the distance to the transmission channel is getting closer and closer. After entering, the height of the corridor is still nearly two meters high, and everyone can enter without leaning down.
Because there were no lights in the teleportation tunnel, Ma Tao and others had to turn on all their lighting equipment in advance, all of which illuminated the depths of the teleportation tunnel. It was so deep that the end of it could not be illuminated, which showed that it was quite long.
"Everyone, pay attention to check if there are any side roads or traps!"
The teleportation corridors were all made of reinforced concrete walls. Ma Tao was worried that he would miss some entrances or some mechanisms, so he reminded everyone to pay attention to the surrounding walls. At the same time, he found two flashlights from his backpack and handed them to Zhang San and Brown behind him. The two of them quickly took it, turned on their flashlights and started shining randomly on the surrounding walls.
This kind of thing involves the lives of everyone, including them. The two of them did not dare to be careless. They were all observing carefully, fearing that they would miss some secret forks or entrances. For a time, the lampposts in the entire teleportation corridor were It was shaking, but Xiao Jinzi, Ma Tao and Xijia's light source always kept shining on the situation directly ahead.
They were transported on the conveyor belt for nearly five minutes, and no one even dared to blink, but nothing was discovered.
"It's over"
Xiga reminded loudly as he clenched the laser grenade in his hand.
The light beam directly in front finally illuminated the gray cement wall opposite.
"careful!"
Ma Tao pulled out the meteorite sword with one hand and armed the rocket launcher with the other hand. Everyone else was also on alert.
When he was about to reach the exit of the teleportation tunnel, Ma Tao saw at a glance that there was also a huge hole at the end, and his eyes tightened.
"There is no road ahead!!! We are going to fall to death!!!"
The brown-haired woman also saw a big hole at the end of the conveyor belt and screamed in fear.
"Stop making noise!!!"
Ma Tao wanted to turn around and slap her on the ear. The woman was howling as if she was afraid that others would not know they were coming.
"Xijia Xiaojinzi! You are responsible for their safety!!!"
Ma Tao must be fully vigilant about accidents that may happen at any time at the exit, so he has no time to care about them.
"burden"
Although he was reluctant, Xiao Jinzi still grabbed Zhang San's arm.
As for the woman, she didn't need to be told. When she heard what Ma Tao said, she jumped directly into the arms of the little fat Xijia, hugged his neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, closed her eyes and refused to let go.
"Damn it! You stinky woman blocked my view!!"
As soon as Xiga's curse left his mouth, they had already reached the exit.
"ah!!!!"
The brown-haired woman screamed, her voice echoing in the empty cave wall, making it very harsh and loud.
A feeling of weightlessness came under his feet. Ma Tao activated the short-term power system of the silver-clad mecha, gradually buffering the speed of his fall. Su Lanyu was taking care of her sister Su Lanxi. After all, this was Su Lanxi's first time. Using the silver-clad mecha, under the guidance and reminders of their sister, the twin sisters almost held hands and landed perfectly.
Because the brown-haired woman's hugging Xijia really affected the mecha, the 'Iron Bucket Shield' Xijia's landing seemed a little awkward, and he almost stumbled. Fortunately, he stood still in the end, but the brown-haired woman was in mid-air. The flashlight that fell when he let go hit Xijia's silver-helmeted head with a bang, then rolled to the ground, flashed twice, and then went out.
Zhang San, who was dragged by Xiao Jinzi, was much simpler and more violent. When he was about to land, he activated the power jet of the mecha, stabilized his body, stretched out his hand, and directly threw Zhang San out, landing on the ground beside him. , and hit something by the way. The latter groaned and stopped moving. He didn't know if he was knocked unconscious. But after Ma Tao saw clearly what he hit, his eyes condensed instantly. At the same time, , in the air inhaled in the nasal cavity, the rotten smell was transmitted to his olfactory nerves.
