According to the known information, there should have been a mysterious space entrance at the core of the underground ruins earlier. However, the possibility of it being a trap is extremely high. It should not be easy to enter, and it may be even harder to get out. It is said to be impossible.
Not one thing is too much.
As a result, everyone speculated that some people who disappeared in the underground ruins should have entered the mysterious space from there...
Now that the team has gone around in such a big circle and finally managed to get a chance to survive, how can it be used for gambling? And what kind of bet is needed to make it equivalent and make people willing to gamble?
Therefore, it has become a foregone conclusion to divide the troops to guard key points, and the previous method must also be changed.
To put it simply, the team now has to extend the front line to protect its own retreat. This kind of protection requires not only dividing the troops and each taking their own responsibilities, but also communicating with each other at a higher frequency. As Kang Danian, who has truly fought in a war and understands strategy, suggested
, to redistribute combat power, including staying behind in the cliffs and mountains. Miao Pu agreed to this proposal after thinking about it for a while.
Next, the team did not stay in the urban area, but returned directly to the lower gathering area. There was no rush to establish a campsite in the urban area, and the back road was arranged stably first.
With the space gate, it is not difficult to meet the people left behind in the cliffs and mountains. [Tool Spirit] is always analyzing and cracking, and has achieved results from time to time. In terms of space technology, simple communication can already be done. If a certain part shines, it will
It means that the space door is about to open, so be prepared to welcome it.
This method of keeping a certain space door component in hand without sealing it may certainly lead to the tracking of blue-blooded people, but after all, it is not a complete space door, just a component, made of the kind of crystal stone specially used in the culture tank.
When the box is stored, the anti-detection should be as good as the current team can do, which greatly reduces the possibility of being found. The cliffs and mountains are limited in width from east to west, but are hundreds of kilometers long from north to south. We want to investigate.
, never easy.
After reuniting with the remaining troops, everyone gathered together and finally decided on a long-term plan to use the space gate, and the external exit was set at the Blue Bloods' mountain base.
Although this war puppet manufacturing base is a bit huge, it is generally easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you do not use the space door but enter and exit normally, then only the passage opened by the giant eel monster is feasible.
Since the space door is open for a long time, they are prepared to be found. Once the situation is discovered, they immediately call for reinforcements and fight in a relatively narrow space. The team is really not afraid of fighting against the blue-blooded people.
Another reason for choosing the mountain base is because the blue-blooded people at the mountain base escaped with the core components of the crystal, and everyone was worried that the manufacturing plant would reopen.
If the blue-blooded people cannot regain the base in the mountain, then even if they open another factory, they will not be able to restore production in a short time. Earth energy and crystal materials are just that. The white sand desert is too big, and it is relatively simple to build an obelisk array, and crystals
They are unable to divide their troops to defend the crystals in the jungle, but it is definitely difficult to rebuild the forging workshop where matter is excreted in the mysterious space. This will buy the team a lot of time.
Of course, everyone has also considered that the observer is likely to use frameless space transmission technology, just like the plant monsters they saw in the upper space. The reason for this inference lies in how the observer established the first connection.
The door between the mysterious space and the external space? He must be able to enter and exit before he can establish the two ends of the two worlds. No one will believe that entering and exiting the mysterious space will be as difficult and arduous as the team coming from the ruins area to the White Sand Desert.
In order to prevent the frameless space door raid tactics, the mountain base has two sets of surveillance systems, the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer only occupies a small area of the entire base, and the center of gravity is the original energy storage room.
The front here is layer-by-layer deep, and there is a secret path opened by Miao Pu at the back. Even if something goes wrong, you can still deal with the enemy for a longer time.
The fixed point of the mysterious space was chosen at Camp No. 2. Although this camp is at the intersection of three cubic areas, great efforts have been made to build it twice. The location is clever, the protection is high, and the entrance and exit can be modified.
Secret, but also a use of reverse thinking. Miao Pu also specially made some tricks in the No. 1 campsite in the sewer area to make it look secret and traceable. This design of true and false nests was successfully used.
This will give the garrison more reaction time.
The team's total production output is limited. Starting from scratch is quite clever, but it is a waste of time. This is also a helpless point. The selection of the mountain base and Camp No. 2 all have this consideration. Even so, waiting until the most important thing
The two back-road fulcrums were established, and it was already April 2nd, which took a full 6 days and nights.
After resting for more than ten hours, the exploration team led by Miao Pu and Luo Zhiqing re-entered the city.
After the troops were divided, the exploration group was reduced to Miao Pu, Luo Zhiqing, Li Xuesong, Hu Yantie, 4 other soldiers of the 8733 Division, and 6 [Mo Luo], mainly following Li Xuesong and others to ensure close safety. Here is
In the urban area, the openness of the field of view is much worse than in the Baisha Desert. It is necessary to prevent latent raids. Then there are 2 soldiers. Currently, the soldiers are the most abundant, and the total number has been adjusted to 6. Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing are the leaders.
2 people, guarding the two hard fulcrums of the channel.
The materials recently captured from the Blue Bloods were also used, and two more Scorpion pets were added to serve as infantry fighting vehicles for the exploration team.
These two battle pets use materials collected in the mysterious space. They have stronger performance and are more complex at the same time. They are no longer Miao Pu's works, they are completely weapons produced by [Weapon Spirit] with the help of Miao Pu.
There are two war pets, one big and one small. The small one is not much different from the original one, but because of the material, the color looks richer and fuller. If you don't know about it, it is easy to think of it as a metal machine.
The other big one has no tail, but its protection capability is almost twice that of the former. It is used as a transport vehicle. The important materials of the exploration team, such as energy crystals and space door components, are in its cabin.
Sitting in the battle pet cabin, surrounded by soldiers guarding him, Miao Pu felt a bit like a Jedi warrior in the "Star Wars" series, full of exotic and futuristic elements. However, when the team left the passage area, they actually entered
In the city, he no longer has this leisurely mood...
Miao Pu originally thought that as far as he was concerned, he should be regarded as a typical origin creature.
But after entering the city, he discovered that what he originally thought was a conservative idea was actually wishful thinking.
This mature source world showed obvious rejection to him.
It was a kind of discomfort that came from the depths of my soul. It was difficult to describe in words. It just felt like I was out of tune with the environment here.
On the contrary, Li Xuesong and the others didn't feel it too clearly. Their perception was too low, showing an effect similar to thick lines. Even if they felt vaguely, they would only regard it as discomfort in a dangerous and unfamiliar environment.
As time went by, some environmental data had been detected clearly. Miao Pu looked at it and frowned slightly.
As a mature source area, even his body is somewhat uncomfortable. If he didn't have an extremely high degree of control over his body and had the help of [Weapon Spirit] to regulate it, he might have a situation like inebriated oxygen.
The free energy is so abundant that it becomes a kind of erosion. It not only enters the respiratory system directly with the air, but also erodes the skin. It can be understood as a different kind of sunbathing.
After telling the others about the situation, Li Xuesong and the others were secretly relieved.
Not long after the blue-blooded people of the Sand Crystal Tribe were annihilated, the plant monsters underwent a comprehensive transformation and strengthening. One of them was an energy shield and a breathing filter. Some people also carried a removable one on their backs like Miao Pu.
The cyst is still a little uncomfortable, but now it seems that they really need to prepare for a rainy day. Otherwise, there is no way they can function normally in the environment here. Otherwise, something will happen in a few minutes. With their physique, if they are directly exposed to the environment here,
The result is almost the same as entering an area with high nuclear radiation. You will soon lose your life due to cell damage or loss of function in various organs.
The style of the streets, buildings, and the entire city looks more like Europe, with a sense of history and high-rise buildings with a strong modern flavor. In terms of architectural aesthetics, everyone who looks at it is above the standard. The grandeur and
The beauty of combining elegance and luxury cannot be matched by modern new urban architecture. The only thing that makes Miao Pu feel uncomfortable is the words, signboards, neon lights... Wherever common words are found, they are all the tree branch-like fonts that he has seen before.
, looks very awkward.
Miao Pu has no research on architecture, that is, compared with some buildings in his memory, he finds it pleasing to the eye and beautiful. What is the specific beauty and why it is pleasing to the eye, but he cannot explain why, let alone distinguish this place through these buildings.
How exactly are they similar?
Luo Zhiqing is not much better than Miao Pu, and Li Xuesong and the others. It can be said that in terms of cultural heritage and artistic accomplishment, these eight people in the expedition team are well-deserved bumpkins.
When a country bumpkin comes to the city, he lacks the mood to see the bustling city. The beauty of this city can only be seen on the surface. There is no emotion, no admiration, and no deep impression. Even Miao Pu quickly loses sight of the street scene.
In order to express his interest, Miao Pu released a puppet flying insect the size of a pigeon, flew into the air to survey the city, and provided information on the location of the campsite.
Miao Pu has long wanted to build such an aerial reconnaissance unit. [Qi Ling] also collected some data on flying insects and animals in the jungle on the north coast of the Earth Sea. However, it was not until after obtaining the crystal core components of the Sand Crystal Department that some technologies
It was only in the past few days that we were able to break through and create flying insects.
The flying insect vibrated its two pairs of translucent membrane wings, flew in the air for a while, hovered for a while, and flew for a while, never getting too far away from the marching team below. Miao Pu communicated spiritually with the mysterious spirit in the flying insect's body.
The contact allowed us to have a more general understanding of the situation in several nearby streets, and this information was shared with [Qi Ling] to facilitate it to start analyzing where and what kind of buildings are more suitable for camping.
"There is a figure moving in the alley in the direction of -, it may be a monster."
After hearing Hu Yantie's warning, Miao Pu thought to himself: "Sure enough."
Luo Zhiqing sensed in that direction, frowned and said: "The sensing range has been greatly reduced, and the environment here is very suppressed."
"Well, [Weapon Spirit]'s initial estimate is that you and I can now exert 80% of our previous level of combat effectiveness."
"Haha, that's fine. If we start the war here, we don't have to worry about turning several streets into rubble after a battle." Luo Zhiqing was still in the mood to joke.
"Hmm, don't worry at all. The material here has extremely high resistance to source energy, almost reaching the defense level of A. The destructive effect we can cause is at the level of Wolverine.
.”
"Okay, is this a good thing?"
"If the monsters here don't have special abilities, then it should be a good thing. The role of the shooters in the team has been greatly enhanced, and the power of their weapons is less suppressed." Miao Pu analyzed.
In fact, another advantage is that it is easier to choose a campsite and the difficulty of defense is greatly reduced. Miao Pu's previous tactics of frantically digging into the rock and soil to dig holes and sneak attacks by relying on the abundant earth energy in his hands do not need to be considered here. Efficiency
Too low and the consumption is too high.
Of course, this restriction applies to everyone, not just Miao Pu and his team.
About half an hour after the flying insects were released, they finally locked onto a campsite target. Miao Pu immediately saw the building through the shared vision.
This building stands out in an urban area full of high-rise buildings, not because it is taller, but on the contrary. It has only three floors above ground, occupies the corner of the street, faces a small square, and has dozens of meters of green belts on both sides, which makes it
It is extremely prominent. After all, judging from the surrounding buildings, the object of copying here should be an urban area where land is at a premium. However, the surrounding land is specially reserved to highlight the independence of the building. This is even more valuable than the courtyard houses in the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
Show off.
In fact, the building itself is almost luxurious, using a lot of precious materials and bright colors. Gold, red, silver, and gray are used in proportion, from the door pillars to the window lintels, from the beams to the guardrails.
From the eaves to the dome...everywhere is filled with gorgeous decorations. Even an inexperienced person like Miao Pu can realize that one of the themes of this building is to show off wealth.
The group of people walked through the small square, and when they approached the building, Hu Yantie and the others also admired it.
Compared with other buildings nearby, it can be called a work of art, not for anything else but the complicated artistic treatment, which is very suitable for the taste of Miao Pu and others. Orientals have always passed down various ingenious and exquisite works from their ancestors.
Being proud of something, this may be the reason why people appreciate the complexity and magnificence.
Another reason why everyone praises it is that although this is an abandoned city, the square and the green belt around the building have been occupied by half-person-high weeds, this building does not look old. There are no cracks or cracks.
The moss is green, there are no weeds, and even the dust haze is not very noticeable.
The main color of golden yellow is no longer pure due to dust, but it makes the building less luxurious and more solemn and grand. The combination of strength and softness is evenly distributed through grooves early in the morning.
Granite columns, long windows in the vaults, curved terraces, etc. are all on display.
"What is this place? An art gallery? A library? Or a museum?"
The group of people couldn't help but have their own thoughts before they formally set foot inside.
The answer was soon revealed. In fact, it was a bank...
Different from the banks that everyone is familiar with, this bank does not have a window-style business desk. It should be a one-to-one business model. After entering from the main entrance, the hall is divided into left and right. Judging from the table and chair facilities, the one on the left is relatively simple and crowded, and the one on the right is
It is much more luxurious. Not only is the office desk luxurious, it also has a comfortable leather sofa or coffee table.
"Hoho, look at these pillars. They are carved into human beings with different postures. They do not affect the load capacity and are full of artistic flavor. This shape design is really clever.
"I think this dome is even more awesome. It has such a high roof and such exquisite paintings. I didn't know how much effort was put into it at the time."
"No, no, it's ordinary work. Did you see that these pillars are whole, without joints, and purely natural? Did you see the carvings on the base and top of the column? If any one spot is not up to standard, the entire column will be useless.
, and you have to pay special attention during construction, as if there is a slight bump, it will be over."
"I told you that's enough. This is a creation of the mind, not real at all, okay?"
"But something with such artistic connotation is obviously not something that can be imagined out of thin air. It must have its origin. In other words, somewhere on the earth, there is a building exactly like this one. Isn't this worthy of admiration?"
"Where do you get such high interest in visiting? Aren't you worried that there are monsters lurking here?"
The three soldiers who were looking around while setting up the crystal lamp said at the same time: "Don't worry."
The structure of the hall is simple and clear at a glance. More importantly, the Scorpion battle pet has already used energy scanning to detect the left and right halls. This active detection method is similar to a sonar system. Because the Scorpion battle pet has a special energy tank function,
Therefore, the power is far greater than that of a single soldier, and the effect is naturally first-class.
At the same time, Miao Pu and Luo Zhiqing had already gone up to the second floor and started investigating.
Perhaps the second floor is for high-end VIP customer business. In addition to the luxurious reception room, there are also rest rooms and small conference rooms.
This is obviously not a good thing for [Spike Team]. The structure is complex and there are many doors and windows, which is not conducive to defense. But having said that, it is unlikely that there will be fortress-like buildings in the city, and such buildings are often not
It’s too livable. As far as the current team is concerned, if Miao Pu hadn’t actively built a small ecological system every time he built a campsite, Kang Danian and the others would have had problems with their health long ago. This kind of detail issue would take too long to take action.
The longer it is, the easier it is to show its power.
On the third floor of the bank, except for the north, there are balconies on the other three sides. In the middle is a domed hall, which is very similar to the interior of a cathedral. The outdoor light shines into the hall through the colored craft glass surrounding the dome.
Looking from a dark position, one can clearly see the beams of light projected down one after another, changing slowly, not only filling the magnificent hall with vivid beauty, but also a touch of holiness.
After Miao Pu and Luo Zhiqing met here, they stayed for a short while before going up to the balcony to look around.
The balcony on the third floor is not very high. Even if it is a luxurious building, it is only equivalent to the height of an ordinary residential building of about 4 floors. This is already extraordinary. The balcony on the third floor is just the roof of the second floor. The height of two floors is actually
It is 2 meters high. Even if this building has a base and steps as high as 10 meters, it is still more than 10 meters high. Excluding the floor slabs and suspended ceilings, the indoor height on the ground floor is about 6 meters, and the second floor is nearly 4 meters high. It is precisely because of this
The height makes people feel like they have entered a palace.
The vaults and personal safes were underground. Li Xuesong and Hu Yantie originally expected to see the colorful foreign banknotes or the diamonds and jewelry in their private drawers, but they found nothing.
