The woman held the cocoon and walked to the door. She swiped the door with her card and opened it.

The three of them entered the corridor, which was relatively spacious. Shui Ling suspected that it was built so spaciously for the convenience of the fat man.

"Wait for me." Ruan Ling actually caught up with her, her voice was loud.

Fortunately, there was no one here. Shui Ling nodded, and there was an elevator at the end of the corridor.

After entering the elevator, the woman swiped her card and the elevator moved downwards.

When you reach the bottom, the door opens and gives people a very strange visual impact.

It's like entering the Zerg breeding base from the civilized world.

The first thing that catches the eye is a road paved with flat metal walkways. There are dark red eggs on both sides of the road, and there are countless scattered blood vessels underneath the eggs.

Each of these eggs is half a person tall, and they expand and contract like breathing.

The blood vessels on the ground were black, with several thin red fluorescent tubes wrapped around them, which looked very strange.

Shuiling asked curiously: "Do you know what these are for?"

The woman was silent for a moment and said: "This is the egg that gave birth to us."

"Uh..." Shui Ling was speechless.

It's really hard to define whether the people here are born in eggs or viviparously.

The woman looked back at Shui Ling and said, "Do you have a name? I... they call me No. 9."

Ruan Ling said proudly: "My name is Ruan Ling, she named it for me."

After a pause, her eyes widened in surprise, and her voice raised an octave, "What? Are you number nine?"

No. 9 nodded, didn't say anything, and just hugged the cocoon in his arms a little tighter.

Shui Ling asked curiously: "What happened to No. 9?"

Ruan Ling lowered his voice this time and said mysteriously: "No. 9 is the ninth one born in that batch. I heard that he is a very powerful genius and must be trained intensively. Later, I heard that No. 9 did an experiment and

A mistake was made, and then nothing happened."

This time No. 9 spoke up himself: "Because I gave birth to her and they couldn't let her be born, they concluded that we were failures."

Shui Ling nodded, understanding.

Gong Qianyu behind her suddenly said: "The ancestor of the immortals."

Shui Ling was startled, and then thought of the ancestor of immortals mentioned by Si Shanguan, but wasn't she on an island?

After thinking about it, Shui Ling finally understood what he was here for. Wasn't he here to save the ancestor of the immortals?

Maybe this is the reason why I took this trip, and this is Si Shanguan's ultimate goal.

Although he found many people to come to this world, he was the only one who triggered this quest line.

She raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and then looked at Gong Qianyu in shock, "Have you recovered your memory?"

Gong Qianyu looked at Shui Ling again with a blank expression, as if he didn't know what he just said.

Shui Ling had no choice but to hold his hand and said, "It's okay."

No. 9 continued walking forward, and there was a circular building in front of him, like an upside-down bowl.

It's just that the entire building is dark, and the outer walls are covered with colorful pipes that are fluorescing.

In fact, it's not dark here, after all, the red tubes on both sides are also glowing.

When he got closer, Shui Ling looked up at the building. He didn't expect it to be so big, about a thousand meters in diameter.

The door is an oval tunnel, with an electronic lock on the black door, and the light is now red.

No. 9 took out the card and put it on the lock, and heard a beep sound and the red light turned to green.

"Let's go, this is the control center, and the underground palace goes further down."

Shui Ling nodded, thinking about Ci Yi, where did he go?

After entering the door, there was a narrow passage. Shui Ling couldn't help but wonder if the fat man had come in. His size and mechanical arm had exceeded this width.

Could it be that this is not an underground palace? Or maybe he deceived his kindness.

Thinking of this, she paused slightly. There was a high possibility that the kindness was deceived. After all, the fat man acted alone.

Then Ci Yi is definitely not here? When we go out later, we have to go all over the base to find him.

After passing through the passage, there was another door in front of him. No. 9 continued to swipe his card, but this time it was not as smooth as before.

"Hey, the cardholder's weight does not meet the requirements. Turn on the confinement system."

Before Shui Ling understood what this meant, his whole body had already begun to fall.

The floor actually split and sank in the middle, and the four of them fell into endless darkness.

Gong Qianyu must have had a conditioned reflex, he directly put Shui Ling into his arms and held her tightly.

Shui Ling has no choice, after all, the space cannot be opened.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw space. What was going on?

In any case, Shui Ling thought about saving the airbag, after all, it was not appropriate to use a parachute here.

When the life-saving airbag was taken out, it was just a round ball. Shuiling pulled the tab and threw it down.

The air bag will land before them and then pop up to become an air cushion.

After falling for about twenty meters, several people landed on the air mattress and bounced several times.

Ruan Ling got up and patted his chest and said, "Oh, I'm still alive."

Shui Ling laughed. She did not speak, but continued to contact the space. Unfortunately, this time it became impossible to contact her again.

What's going on? Could it be that something in that section just now affected the magnetic field, so I took out the air mattress?

In any case, space saved her life again. She stood up with a sigh of relief and pulled Gong Qianyu up.

"Go down, where did we fall?"

No. 9 checked the cocoon and saw that it was fine before replying: "This is a pit. Some people who are disobedient and cannot be captured alive will be thrown here."

Shui Ling asked: "Can't capture him alive? Doesn't that mean he can be killed? Otherwise, why would he be thrown here?"

No. 9 sneered, "I didn't understand it before, but now I know. They must be using all kinds of key cards to cheat, just like us."

"The first door card can open the door smoothly, but after we entered the corridor and opened the second door, the alarm was triggered."

Shui Ling nodded, "That's true. I was still thinking that the security of this door card was too low. No matter who holds it, it can open the door. Now I know that I was too naive."

While the two were talking, Ruan Ling shouted in surprise: "Is this an underground river?"

Shui Ling lay on the edge of the air mattress and reached out to turn on the emergency light. The light strip wrapped around the air mattress and illuminated a three-meter area around it.

They were really floating on the water, but the river water was light green, as if it was fluorescent, but there was no light at all when the lights were not turned on just now.

"Ah..." Ah Jiu called out.

Shui Ling immediately looked back and saw a sticky tongue wrapped around her waist, dragging her into the water.

"Be careful." Shui Ling swooped over and took No. 9's hand.

No. 9 hesitated and handed the cocoon to Shui Ling, "Help me raise her. Just one milliliter of blood a day will be enough."

Shui Ling's heart trembled. She was leaving an orphan on her death bed. Is there no way to survive?

No, you have to struggle for a while before reaching the end of the road.
