Episode 128. Unlocking the Hidden Secret (2)
These flowers are gorgeous and grow rapidly. The orange, blue, white and purple bloom in various colors. The shape and variety seem to be different, but they grow on the stems and leaves of the same vein, like the products of species fusion.
They gather in one direction from invisible corners, extending neatly and regularly, forming a "flower road" that everyone cannot believe.
Joyna reached out to touch it, and the flowers shrank, and she was shocked.
These flowers are still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, swinging constantly, as if creatures are summoning their companions and guiding Joyna forward.
She immediately understood that this was the strange power that Morgana's ability showed.
"Hmph...well, since you want me to move forward so much, then I'd better obey my destiny than to be respectful. I can kill you at any time if I can let you go, and you can't escape at all!"
Joyna sneered. No matter what the other party had plans or how she wanted to deal with her, there was only one answer in her mind: I don’t care!
With many doubts, Joyna's curiosity and self-confidence were aroused and she continued to move forward.
The scene deep underground became more and more strange, with dense vegetation and extremely richness, and the space suddenly became larger. Many strange-shaped "equipment" came into view. They were entangled by plants and covered with layers, and they could not tell what they were.
Joyna frowned and her expression gradually changed.
As she got closer, she quickly recognized those things—mostly ancient machinery, nooses, winches, metal pipes, exhaust holes, distribution boxes, broken robotic arms, and huge engineering equipment with precision gear structures.
These devices have obviously been sleeping for a long time under the erosion of time and have long been unable to operate, leaving only a twisted and deformed body, but without exception, they are tightly wrapped by plants.
Joyna slowly opened the plants on the equipment and watched carefully in the glimmer of light. She saw deep scratches on the metal shell, penetrated deep into the steel, as if it was made by something hard. In addition, there were some rusty pits covering the surface.
She touched the hole on the metal surface, and her hands were cold and her heart was suffocated.
A strange thought suddenly came to my mind: she judged that these pits were clearly caused by guns and bullets.
Has there been a fierce battle here?
She quickly walked to another large device, and quickly pulled off the plants on it with both hands, trying to check what was going on.
As expected, this is a severely damaged bipedal construction machine. Similar to what I saw before, there are traces left by the destruction of a powerful weapon on the mechanical shell, and it is even more severely damaged. Countless bullet marks, twisted metal, tear after the impact of huge force, and black marks that were once burned are vivid in my mind.
In another inconspicuous corner, Joyna found several lines of mottled text and vaguely recognizable signs on the mechanical shell. She whispered the big line: Rose Pharmaceutical Technology/c·x·155 Satellite City.
Joyna frowned and thought, and a series of vague explanations emerged in her memory.
c·x·155 Satellite City is one of a number of modular cities established by humans after they determined the space immigration plan. Ross Pharmaceutical Technology was a well-known large company at that time. Its most famous and well-known product is dozens of anti-aging drugs.
It turns out that the Hidden Sandcastle area is the C·x·155 satellite city of humans in the pre-civilized era.
Joyna was very confident in her judgment, but for some reason, thinking of this, her heart began to shake!
It seems that this fierce battle is related to Rose Medicine.
Is this their headquarters or division? It is unknown.
These devices have decayed to this shape. It cannot be that they happened recently. At least hundreds of years have passed, right?
Have there ever been wars in the c·x·155 Satellite City?
Joyna didn't have any memory in her mind, because at that time, under the control of the Planetary Council, the war was far away from everyone, and the human world was completely peaceful.
Joyna was stunned, her mind was very confused, and she began to think hard, but after a moment she gave up because based on this little thing alone, she could not guess what had happened here and why it happened.
It seems like a different life...
c·x·155 Satellite City has been a human city for hundreds of years. Now people's rough accents have long turned this name into another ugly tone, hidden sand castle.
If there were scholars in this era, they might think that the things here are worth studying, but in Joyna's eyes, its only value is its symbolicity to that era, symbolizing a world that is not crazy.
She murmured to herself, "Let's go forward first and see what you can find. Maybe the answer can be found in front."
The road circles downward and gradually opens.
The atmosphere here became depressing, and with a bit of weirdness in the silence, Joyna's steps became more cautious.
Soon, the psychedelic sunlight casts its shadow from the cracks above her head, like the light and shadow of leaves swaying in the crown. She stopped to observe the surroundings, and felt as if she had arrived at a giant gymnasium decorated with countless plants.
The space here used to be very spacious, but the dome had collapsed countless years ago, so yellow sand had almost filled most of the places.
Joyna's body is slender and even weak, and looks extremely small compared to the size of the room.
The road under my feet is no longer the kind of road I have seen before. The sound of clanging collision echoes in the open space, as if reminding visitors here that the ground has changed from soil to a heavy object made of metal.
Just as Joyna was observing around and moving her steps, she noticed the changes in the air, and something seemed to shake in the thick green shade a hundred meters away.
She immediately stood still and looked up. Her body suddenly became tense.
Figures...?
That's right, the swaying shadows of the trees were swinging, and several figures walked through the green curtain wall and were walking towards the open space where she was!
The first one came were four figures, both tall, fat and thin, as if they were three men and one woman. In addition, Joyna noticed that there were a row of people behind them, about twenty or thirty.
When the two sides were more than ten meters apart, the people stopped.
At this time, the fluorescence on the surrounding plants slowly brightens, like high-tech biological lighting, making the entire space appear as visibility as outdoors.
Joyna narrowed her eyes, her pupils shrank, and she quickly adapted to the change.
Their dresses were almost the same, wearing thin gray robes, wearing a towel mixed with metal and fabric, and covering their faces with tulle, revealing only two eyes. A dozen long tassels hanging to their knees were tied around their bloated neck collars. The fringes were brightly colored and out of place, which contrasted with the green plants here.
