MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 1450 Abnormal area

When Ashalena and Cassandra discussed the possible "self-repairing system" of this huge space station in front of the viewing window, Nicholas Egg, the project commander, floated in this open "connected compartment". In ", with full curiosity and excitement, he "observed" this metal holy place that could be described as "beautiful" in his eyes.

In the eyes of others, the iron ball star man at this moment is just floating aimlessly everywhere in the room, but in fact, his incomprehensible perception has penetrated into this labyrinth of steel and polymer. In the depths, under the layers of metal walls, roofs, and criss-crossing pipe networks and passages, Cangqiang Station was presenting a more complex, three-dimensional and incredible posture in front of him.

He stopped in the middle of the room, "watching" his feet.

There is a deep structure several kilometers thick. Darkness and coldness dominate the cabins and ancient systems that have not been awakened. This huge space station is in deep dormancy, and it "looks" up...this dormant state has continued. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years.

In Nicholas's opinion, this is very abnormal.

He was able to perceive the astonishing level of technology contained in this space station and its own solid structure more clearly than other "people". He knew that such a space giant was actually far more "sturdy and durable" than people thought. A rough estimate is that if the Cangqiang Station fell asleep in the last few hundred or even thousands of years because of being too old and disrepaired, then everything is understandable, but if it entered this kind of station more than a hundred thousand years ago State... At that time, it shouldn't have suffered much damage at all.

Is it some internal reason that caused the shutdown of the space station? Is it system-level attacks and intrusions? Or those "starters" will accidentally come up with tofu dregs projects?

Nicholas thought about it, slowly extending his perception deeper. He "sees" the cold metal opening up in the "view" like a receding curtain, and the walls and roof of the space station appear in his perception. A kind of hazy and illusory translucent texture, he slowly sank from a penetrating perspective to the vicinity of the main energy network, where it was already close to the ring-shaped central axis of the Sky Station, and then his perception could no longer go deep. NS.

Even with his special talent, he still has powerless when facing something astonishing at Cangqiang Station.

The sound of metal tapping footsteps came from beside him, and the voice of Alice-6 was passed into Nicholas' ears: "Commander, the search in the environment has been completed, and no structure of the suspected control interface has been found."

Nicholas turned around and focused on the "Iron Man Commander". From his perspective, this "Miss Alice" is a beautiful creature, but this "beauty" does not refer to her appearance. Although her appearance should be considered beautiful by human standards, what Nicholas appreciates more is her exquisite mechanical structure, sophisticated and strong endoskeleton protective shell, and hidden folding and deforming tool modules in her limbs... This lady is comparable The weird flesh and blood of human beings are much more beautiful.

Unfortunately, it's not a ball.

Nicholas sighed slightly in his heart, and there was a buzzing voice in his body: "This should be just a transitional area for the space station staff to stop and relax and enjoy the scenery of space. The control node of the entire cabin should still be deeper."

"Need to go deeper?" Alice-6 stared at the "temporary superior" in front of her with inorganic eyes, her expression was as cold as her tone of voice, and her brand-new mental core did not have much experience in interpersonal communication. Used to adjust their "interactive behavior", but fortunately, the commander in front of them didn't care about it, "My soldiers and I are in good condition."

Nicholas's gaze swept across the hall. After confirming the progress of the logistics team in setting up temporary supply points, his body slightly fluctuated: "Notify the dragon and the sea monsters to call the advance team, and we will move on."

Under the command of the commander-in-chief, an advance team was quickly organized. The large force will continue to set up camps and supply points in this connecting section. The advance team will continue to move forward under the leadership of several leaders and Nicholas Egg. The dark and silent cabins ahead moved forward.

This elite team of more than ten people left the "rest hall" with wide viewing windows and a good view, and passed through the connecting corridor outside the hall that had just restored lighting and gravity. They were inside the silent steel behemoth. While exploring, the dragon members led by Ashalena and Belranta walked on the outside of the team, and the iron soldiers led by Alice-6 marched side by side with them. The front pioneer was Kassander. The Kraken explorer led by Ra, Commander Nicholas was protected in the middle of the team.

After operating in this ancient space station for dozens of days, this "joint engineering team" and "exploration force" has formed an effective plan of action: When going to unfamiliar areas, let the Kraken be in front of you. Pathfinder, the dragons with strong single combat effectiveness and vitality protect the commander in the middle of the team, while the iron soldiers with multiple detection functions and quick actions are at the end of the team, mainly responsible for scanning and recording the surrounding environment.

As for why the Sea-Monsters should be the pioneers in the front...

In this way, they passed through several connecting corridors, passing several temporarily locked gates. In Nicholas’ perception, the team seemed to be approaching the end of the current "ring belt", and the energy flow in the depths of the surrounding walls also began. Gradually it becomes unstable.

According to experience, this means that there is another "disabled compartment" ahead. A load balancing mechanism is trying to transfer the energy of the normal compartment to the key systems in the disabled compartment. This "adjustment" has led to the current area. Insufficient energy supply.

An exceptionally high gate appeared at the end of the connecting passage at this moment, standing in the eyes of the advance team members.

The gate is as tall as a city gate, and the width seems to be able to accommodate several steel tanks passing side by side. On the silver-white alloy gate, you can see some unclear “logos”. Similar logos have appeared many times in the space station. It is not The text is also not decorative, but most likely to represent a certain department or a certain ethnic group in the sailing convoy.

In addition, the corridor lights around the gate are obviously much dimmer than the previous cabins. Somewhere near the door frame, a dim red gleam can be seen floating slowly.

A Siren explorer climbed near the gate with his tail swinging, poked the cold alloy door with the tip of his tail, and turned his head and waved to the others: "No reaction."

"It's the energy supply interruption again... but this is the first time I have seen such a large gate," Nicholas grumbled, scanning the mechanical structure near the gate while saying to others, "The control mechanism of the gate seems to be intact, but it hasn't been activated. , I’m trying to transfer the lighting energy of the nearby area to the control mechanism of the gate, but before opening the gate, it’s best to check if there is any danger on the opposite side.”

"I'll come," the Sea-Monster explorer who went to test the front door immediately volunteered to pat his chest, "This door doesn't seem to be completely closed, I perceive some small gaps at the bottom, waiting for me to flow in. have a look!"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole body of this Miss Siren burst into a cloud of water mist, and then the water mist shrank again and condensed into a pool of puddles. With some weird gaze, the living puddle began to flow over to the huge door not far away, and infiltrated the gap at the bottom of the door little by little.

Just like this Miss Siren said, this door did not close for some reason. It left a little crack. The small cracks in the door were hard to detect, but it was enough to let a sea-mon infiltrate...

After a while, the living puddle completely infiltrated the opposite side of the gate under the eyes of everyone. Ashalena immediately looked up at Cassandra not far away, and asked what she often asked her these days. Words: "Are you dead?"

"Not yet," Kassandra waved her hand while sensing the breath coming from across the door. "She is reorganizing... Things seem to be pretty good... Ah, news is coming! She said that the opposite is a very, very large open space. Space, and everything seems to be normal except for the lighting failure, temperature, air pressure, and gravity are all right, um..."

Cassandra frowned and seemed to be listening carefully to the information shared by the Kraken across the door through psychic echoes. Her tone gradually became weird: "She said... there seems to be a very huge tree in the dark, maybe It's not a tree, it's something else. She felt that the atmosphere in front was a bit weird. She didn't dare to approach it for a while, but she was not in danger in her current position."

"A very huge tree? And it doesn't have to be a tree? What's the mess?" Red Dragon Berranta muttered subconsciously, but it seems that she has become accustomed to the reliable and unreliable performance of these Sea-Monster teammates. , Soon turned his gaze to the commander of the team, "Mr. Nicholas, there doesn't seem to be much danger across the door, do you want to open the door?"

Nicholas hesitated only a little bit in his heart, and quickly made a decision: "Everyone step back a bit, I'm going to open the door."

Everyone immediately backed away at their orders. Nicholas himself flashed aside to a safer place. Then he tried to control the control system behind the door based on the experience accumulated over the past dozens of days. In fact, he did not have the ability to directly control the flow of energy. , But here, most of the energy flow of the facility is based on material carriers, and no matter how delicate and subtle these material carriers are, they are "obedient metals" that can be controlled in his perception, under his fine and ingenious control. , Some of the original energy loops have been slightly adjusted, and the gate controllers that had been exhausted are gradually awakening.

The lights in the nearby corridor gradually dimmed, and a low humming sound came from both sides of the gate. After a while, accompanied by the clicking sound of the mechanical device unlocking and the sound of "chicking" as if the pressure was relieved, look at that. The huge gate that went up extremely solid finally retreated to both sides.

An unusually wide space shrouded in darkness appeared in front of Ashalena.

"This is..." Ashalena looked at this place wider than the "assembly hall" in the previous traffic section in astonishment. Although everything in her vision was shrouded in darkness, she still noticed it for the first time. The place is amazingly wide and its dome height is even more amazing, and in the dim space that seems to be boundless, she saw some hazy shadows, a few shimmering like emergency lights flashing in the shadows. , Sketching out a more weird and weird silhouette of light and shadow in the dark, this scene made her suddenly nervous, "This is not the same as the'style' of all the previous areas..."

"Look at the one over there!" Berlan Tower next to it suddenly pointed to the dark depths, "Is that the ‘tree’ that Miss Siren mentioned?"

Ashalena immediately looked in the direction of the opponent's finger. In the dimness, she finally saw the unusually large outline. There were a lot of shadowy things like thorns or crystal spikes "stretched" from the ground. , Hovering and entangled and spread to high places, and when halfway through the spread, it showed a posture of spreading to the surroundings. The dim light brought by the emergency lights made the "twisted thorns" appear like tree trunks, tree crowns, and bare roots. The outline, at first glance... it really feels like a giant tree.

But that is definitely not a tree.

"Lighting needs more lighting here!"

Ashalena exclaimed, and at the same time she raised her hand to release an illumination technique, and at the same time, she couldn't help but a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.

With the dragonborn's night vision ability, how can you not see clearly what's here?

Although the hall is dim, it is not completely without light. There are many light sources like emergency lights in the field of view. With the opening of the door, the corridor outside has also restored to light. It is reasonable to say that a lot of light will shine through the open door. This hall, but why... it's still so dim here that the dragon's eyes seem to cast a shadow here, as if the lights were suppressed by some power in the dark depths?

With these doubts that suddenly appeared in her heart, the illuminating light ball in Ashalena's hand has already flew high, followed by a dozen or so large and small illuminating light **** released by others. These are enough to make the entire hall light up in an instant. The bright magic light source dispersed, but the dimness in the entire hall was only slightly dispersed.

All magical light **** seemed to be suppressed by invisible power, and the light they emitted quickly decayed in the darkness, almost nothing.

Ashalena fixedly looked at the "illumination" floating in the air, as if one by one faint bright spots, and suddenly realized one thing

The faint light sources in this hall that look like "emergency lights" are actually not emergency lighting systems that run at full power.

It is a powerful shadow force that floods here, suppressing all lighting, and even turning "darkness" into something inherently attributed to this entire hall!

"All staff are on alert, the environment is abnormal!" Alice-6's crisp and cold voice sounded in the hall, and the accompanying Ironman soldiers immediately entered a state of combat readiness. At the same time, the giants brought by Ashalena and Bellanta The dragons and dragon descendants also activated their protective equipment, ready to deal with dangerous things that emerged from the dark.

Even the sea monsters who have always been careless reacted quickly. In the sound of a series of splashes, they turned into huge sea monsters, carapace sea monsters and even the tentacles of the **** of simulating storms. In the dark, these The deep-sea creatures have turned into a circle of indescribable styles of humorous barriers, protecting their teammates.

Ashalena looked around and swallowed.

It’s really not good to say that this weird hall is scary or this bunch of sea-monsters who are humorous and deified at every disagreement...

But in this extremely tense atmosphere, nothing changed in the hall.

(Ma!)
