"What do you think the Source Stone crystal looks like just now?"
While returning the same way, Zhou Jinru asked Scorpio a question.
Scorpio shook his head: "I don't know. I'm just a warrior. I don't know anything about Origin Stone crystals. You can talk to Belinda. Her father used to be an employee of a research institute."
"once?"
"It was, and then her father died during the purges of former Ursus. You may have heard the name of that city, Chernobog."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
Chernobog, the center of the universe, is where everything begins.
"Now is not the time, I just had a whim."
Those Source Stone crystals drilled out from deep underground are said to be minerals, but in fact they are more like plants or something else. Zhou Jinru feels that they seem to be alive.
At the edge of the underground city, Zhou Jinru raised his head and looked at the pillars supporting the top. Most of the lighting equipment installed on them turned on again, proving that the out-of-control power control room was returning to control.
He has not received any news about Weina, but a citizen who escaped said that he saw a woman with blond hair in the southeast direction. When asked about the specific image, the other person just ran away and did not see clearly.
"It seems I'm going to the southeast, Captain Scorpio. We all have our own missions. Goodbye."
Zhou Jinru planned to look southeast along the edge of the underground city. When he was about to leave, Scorpio called him from behind:
"Mr. Aguang, two of my team members said they want to help you, or at least act as your guide."
As he spoke, he threw a shield over. At the same time, two combatants holding one-handed knives and shields walked out of the team and came to Zhou Jinru's side.
"Thanks."
Now Zhou Jinru is armed to the teeth, with complete weapons and defensive equipment, and a pistol as his trump card. With two companions, he is not afraid at all even if he encounters a swarm of Origin Stone insects.
One of the combatants introduced: "The underground city is not a whole. It is divided into multiple blocks and connected by multiple passages. The southeast direction leads to a mining area, so the possibility of large insect swarms is relatively high. Now it is everywhere They are all repairing the power control room, and large equipment cannot be mobilized to clear it until 70% of the power energy is restored."
Zhou Jinru reached out to grab his hair. When he touched the hood of the protective suit, he realized that he had made a very stupid move. He had to put down his hand and watched another combatant drive a small mine cart that could accommodate four people. .
"The good news is that we can move forward in a minecart, the bad news is that we can't find any more reinforcements."
"At least we can walk together in a car instead of on two legs."
Zhou Jinru accepted the reality, and the current situation was much better than he imagined.
He thought he would play a lone hero for once, and ended up getting good support.
The previous combatant was sitting in the mine cart and pulled Zhou Jinru up. He asked curiously: "Does Mr. Aguang often operate on the ground? Most of us here have not been since the day we lived in the underground city. After seeing the sky again, only a very small number of people with jobs can go to the ground for a short time."
"I also have work tasks on the ground. The ground is actually not as beautiful as you think. There is no living person, not even plants and animals. There are some insects, and their survival ability is quite strong."
Zhou Jinru recalled everything he saw on the ground and slowly narrated: "Because of the two or three months of darkness, most of the surface plants have died. The world has become seriously desertified, and the wind blowing on your face is mixed with sand. To be honest, , no one would like that kind of environment.”
"Indeed, if it were me, I would rather live underground. After all, there are no natural disasters. There is also a powerful Diamond Queen. No one or monster can be her opponent."
Another combatant drives the minecart and they follow the track.
"There are not many people on this road usually. It is only used by miners working in the mining area. The road condition may not be that good. Let me see if the lighting equipment on the car is still there...ah, it is still there, and there is still some energy. "
The driver turned on the headlights installed on the minecart, and the orange-yellow light shone far and wide as they moved forward in the narrow and short minecart passage.
"The journey is about ten minutes. If you walk alone, it is indeed quite long. I hope the situation there is still under control and the main channel will not be closed."
Zhou Jinru learned that there are many passages in the mining area, not only leading to the main city, but also to power stations and industrial areas. The large ventilation ducts he saw on the surface were just one of them. There are hundreds of them in the entire underground city. Such vents.
In addition, he also learned a very important piece of information. The construction of the underground city was not done by humans on the surface, but by the Dulin clan who had lived underground for many years.
"The Dulin clan? Have you ever seen a girl holding a white flag, who calls herself Myrtle?"
Zhou Jinru spoke half-jokingly. His knowledge of the Dulin clan was limited to Dulin, who often slept in his office, and Myrtle, the agent of the Kingdom of Lao in the game.
There used to be a joke among players: In the ruins of No. 59 of the Crisis Contract, Brother Red Knife slashed a row of operators with a fierce sword. He raised the knife and lowered it, slashing all the way from the starting point to the end point. Standing in front of the end point. The graceful Myrtle raised the white flag in her hand, and then Brother Red Knife passed her and walked into the finish line.
"Myrtle?"
The combatant who was driving thought for a moment and said doubtfully: "We do have a Myrtle here, but she is holding a black flag. I don't know if she is the person you mentioned."
Myrtle holding a black flag?
Could she be a village girl from a certain country?
Zhou Jinru suppressed his doubts, and a glimmer of light appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed that there was the sound of fighting nearby. They rushed out of the tunnel directly. In front of them was chaos, the crying crowd, the guards who were fighting with the Origin Stone Worms, and...
"Through Bai Lei Zhengfa, go!"
The blond-haired woman raised the staff in her hand and shot out a beam of lightning, beating a large group of Originium Insects into ashes.
The woman gasped and lowered her staff, seeming to realize something. She turned her head and saw a young man holding a sword and shield standing there blankly looking at her.
Zhou Jinru's mind was in chaos.
Why is it her? !
Why is she here? !
And where did Vina go? !
"ah!"
A small figure not far away held up a spear and picked up several Originium Insects one after another. A black flag hung from the top of the spear.
She poked the black flag on the ground and raised a golden apple in her hand...
