Gu Tie felt very regretful... Why not design a sweat removal device inside the optical exoskeleton? Even an extra layer of sweat-absorbent cotton lining would be good. Now the inside of the smooth polymer jumpsuit is as hot as a steamer and slippery. Sweat accumulated in his crotch and in his footsteps. Every step he took felt awkward all over his body. From B10 to B11, the elevator took as long as the end of the world. Finally, the door slid open silently. Gu Tie calmed down and walked out of the elevator slowly. In front of him. An alloy airtight door appeared. The door also had the same red octagonal identity verification lock. Gu Tie carefully held a piece of Qibu Liang's hair and followed the same pattern to open the door.

The heavy airtight door slowly opened. A ten-square-meter space appeared in front of you. The four walls were made of alloy. There were spray disinfection and hot air cleaning equipment on the left wall. Various gas masks and one-piece protective masks were hung on the right wall. The airtight door on the opposite side spit out a dazzling skull symbol. It looked like entering the ventilation chamber of some kind of nuclear facility. Gu Tie walked to the door and took a look inside through the observation window. A strange green gas filled the entire place. The corridor was illuminated with strange lights. You could even think with your toes that the green mist was highly poisonous. The Chinese curled their lips and picked up a gas mask. Made in Germany. Salu Nitsen brand active ventilation type three. Gas masks. Since DNA probes worth millions of dollars can be used as door keys, it is logical that there are top-notch gas masks priced over eighteen thousand dollars.

But then Gu Tie suddenly froze. He thought of a very serious problem.

The outer air-tight door is slowly closing. The red explosion-proof light begins to flash. The automatic ventilation process is displayed on the LCD panel. The stopwatch begins to count down 180 seconds. After the three-minute preparation time, the air-tight door to the inner side will automatically open. This means Gu Tie must put on the gas mask before the countdown ends...but he can't.

As the name suggests, the gas mask is worn on the head. What appears in the surveillance probe now is the image of the pudgy head of the computer information department, Shichibu Ryo. If Gu Tie puts the mask on the outside of the optical exoskeleton, based on the position of his head. There will be a mask floating strangely on top of Qibu Liang's head; the exoskeleton and skin completely fit the curves of the body. There is no room for a gas mask on the inside. Gu Tie can't find it in this narrow space with almost no dead ends. When I have the opportunity to tear off the skin and reprocess it, the optical exoskeleton is not a perfect camouflage. What I fear most is what objects are attached to the outside of the optical skin. There is no way to hide such a large gas mask through technology.

what to do.

Sweat seeped out of his skin. Gu Tie's heartbeat was accelerating. "Bang." The outer air-tight door finally closed. "Clang. Clang. Cang. Cang. Cang." Five pairs of cylindrical alloy locks staggered to lock the door firmly. A strange feeling came from the Chinese people's eardrums. The air pump began to adjust the air pressure in the airtight room. The numbers on the stopwatch were decreasing rapidly. The red warning light representing danger kept flashing. One idea after another flashed through Gu Tie's mind. He denied himself one after another. "Damn it. Even if you try to break your brain, it still leaves so many holes. It's really useless." He hammered the wall hard and cursed himself secretly.

The worst outcome is to take out a gun and smash the camera. Put on a mask and rush into the corridor to find the two women. Then... resign yourself to fate. The pistol in the outer pocket is exuding cold temperature. Gu Tie stands quietly in the airlock room. Corner. Pretend to watch the information on the display screen. Secretly prepare for the worst.

At this moment, amidst his endless calls, the seventeen-year-old boy with an indecisive personality finally returned to his duty. "Come on, brother, help me get through this..." There was no time to blame the other person. Gu Tie immediately issued a call. "Time is running out. Hurry, hurry, hurry."

"What do you want me to do? Adventer." The astrologer looked at the colorful chart and asked calmly: "The curve has dropped to the edge of the green field. But the fluctuation is still stable."

"That's because we are deep underground. The WIFI signal emitted by the router upstairs is attenuated greatly. Just don't disconnect it. You can't worry about that much." Gu Tie said hurriedly. "Listen. I'll try it. Let me explain it to you in the most common language: I am now wearing a jumpsuit with no gaps. I must put on a mask immediately. Otherwise, I will die; but I cannot be seen by others wearing the mask. Otherwise, I will die. .I can only wear the mask on my chest. I have to breathe through the mask...what should I do?"

Jonah did not understand this strange description. However, his long-term experience in studying astrology made him good at finding the problem. "Breathe." He pointed out the key to the problem keenly. "Since it is a 'seamless' connection Body suit. So how do you breathe now?"

"Hmm." Gu Tie was stunned for a moment. "The optical exoskeleton skin... no. There are four vents inside the jumpsuit. They are located on the feet and armpits that are not easy to find. There is an active ventilation system through the Wo The Sen cycle exhausts exhaust gas and inhales fresh air.”

The boy shook his soul and made a sound: "Then just connect the magic mask to the ventilation port of your jumpsuit. If you must put the magic mask on your chest, why not cut a hole in the chest of the jumpsuit? Small hole. What's so difficult about it."

"...You are really a genius. Brother Jonah." Gu Tie thought for a second and suddenly realized. "The authorities are really obsessed with it. The authorities are obsessed with it. I simply overthought it. It turns out to be that simple."

He stood in the corner. He took off another gas mask and pretended to play with it casually. He secretly reached into the inside of the mask and pulled off a hose and hid it in the palm of his hand. Then he closed the ventilation holes on his feet and left armpit. By wearing the mask, he One end of the hose is inserted into the air output hole of the active gas mask. The other end is inserted into the air inlet under the right armpit. Fortunately, the valuable gas mask and optical exoskeleton both have D1300 standard air-tight self-locking devices. The spiral buckle makes a slight sound. Lock both ends of the hose.

At this time, the three-minute countdown ended. A whimpering alarm sounded. The inner air-tight door unlocked with a clang and began to open slowly. Green fog immediately overflowed. Gu Tie buckled the mask toward his chest and used the outer mask. The adhesive buckle on the skin fixed the gas mask. Press the button. The green light indicating that the purification system is working normally lights up. "Chi..." Clean air poured into the optical exoskeleton. Gu Tie let out a long breath. Then I quickly corrected several parameters of the external projection. It is very simple to make the image of Shichibu Liang's head fit the gas mask. The thin black hose hanging on the black suit is almost unnoticeable. Using background color interpolation technology can Let it blend into the background of the same color.

The yellow-green air completely enveloped him. Gu Tie's nose smelled a slight peculiar smell. He concluded that the strange color came from chlorine. He lowered his head and looked at the mask on his chest. He sighed softly: "I didn't expect that I would be so busy just entering the door. Not having an enemy is a life-threatening thing."

"Then why take the risk?" Jonah said.

"Why." The Chinese thought as he stepped into the dark corridor: "There is no reason. It's just that I naturally want to do this."

"For whom? A woman?" Jonah asked.

"It's a woman...you know nothing. You're a little brat." Gu Tie cursed.

"But you said you never trust your partners." The young man said coldly.

"...I don't believe those so-called partners." The Chinese hesitated. "This woman is not a partner."

"Is he your lover?" Jonah asked.

The word "lover." made Gu Tie feel a pain in his heart. Yes. What role did Aziwei play to him? The most in-depth intersection between the two was just enjoying the fireworks of the victory of the Freedom Crusade in the African rainforest. Just now The budding good feelings were strangled in his infancy. The romantic Gu Tie believed that he had no right to interfere with Aziwei's life. He never knew what the black girl was thinking. He didn't dare to ask. He was afraid that the answer would make him lose his last bit. Hope. There has never even been a platonic love. His relationship with Aziwe is anything other than the vague definition of "comrade-in-arms".

But why did he lose his mind as soon as he heard Balvendra talk about her disappearance, and fluttered his wings and threw himself into the scorching light without hesitation. Could it be that in his heart...

"Fart." Gu Tie yelled viciously. "Who do you love? It's just a partner. Partner, you win this time. I went to save my partner. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Jonah asked strangely: "Why should I be satisfied? It is a matter of course to rescue one's companions. Even if it costs one's life, he will not hesitate. This is the most powerful bonding force in the world. You are still Don’t you understand?”

"...I won't tell you anymore. Just keep an eye on me for me." Gu Tie silently bowed his head forward.

The yellow-green mist dispersed in front of his eyes. Gu Tie did not forget to render his exhaust volume (the transparent projection part that does not overlap with Qibu Liang's body) into yellow-green lines to ensure that no flaws are exposed in the monitoring probe. The structure of layer B11 Same as the floors above. It is also an L-shaped passage. Both sides are lined with unnumbered sliding doors. Gu Tie walked to the first door, waved his hand and pressed the touch button. There is no longer an identity verification measure here. The door opened silently. .A room also filled with green gas appeared in front of me.

More than a dozen coffin-like operating cabins surround the four walls. A pale human face is exposed in the upper glass cover of each operating cabin. These operating bodies are male and female, with eyes closed or open. Some people open their mouths and murmur, while others murmur from the corners of their eyes. Bright red tears were shed, like a collective nightmare that never wakes up. There was a solitary operating cabin in the center. The hatch was open. There was no one inside.

Gu Tie glanced around, then lowered his gaze in disappointment.
