"Bathihar" should be empty, I think.

Now that Jiu'er and the others have entered here, there is no reason for them to stay on the boat no matter whether this is their final destination or not.This is obvious.But even so, I decided to get on the boat and have a look, just in case.

Everyone had no objection to my idea, and quickly started to pack up and prepare after receiving the order. Even Lan Wu packed up silently, as if he had spontaneously regarded himself as an ordinary team member of ours.I looked at him and didn't speak.Although other people are very repulsive to him, the place we are in now is obviously another weird ancient city, and no one knows what danger is hidden here.So, no matter what the relationship between us is, I can't throw him here now.

A few minutes later, the people who were ready gathered at the steps beside the bulkhead.Since the boat was clinging to the edge of the platform like an iron nail attracted by a magnet, the steps in the cabin and the branch platforms formed a clever connection, just like a complete ladder.Therefore, everyone climbed up the platform along the stairs without much effort.I lifted my foot and stomped the ground, and found that the silver ground was very firm.Judging from the feeling of returning the soles of the feet, it seems that it is made of some kind of solid metal, and people can't help but sigh the huge project of this "port".

Everyone walked carefully on the platform for a while, and soon reached the branch platform next to us.Looking up, I found that the connection between Jiuer's "Batihar" and the platform is the same height as ours. It seems that this kind of platform will automatically adjust the adsorption position according to the size of the hull, so that ships of different heights can It can be on the same plane, which is convenient for personnel to enter and exit, and looks very advanced.

Go down these steps step by step, and after a few seconds, you smoothly enter the mysterious "Batihar".The place we entered was a hall about four times the size of our small boat.The location of the bow is also a "bronze cockpit".However, the equipment is much more than that of a small boat, and there are as many as three big screens.The position in the rear of the cabin is a row of seats, and the style is no different from that of a boat.I probably counted them.There are more than 100 seats here, which are divided into four areas by the passage.Each area is equivalent to the sum of the seats in our small boat.Looking around, I found that the structural layout of this ship was basically the same as our small boat, but it was a little bigger. Disappointed.

The cabin of "Batihar" is basically at a glance, except for ourselves, there are no living creatures here.Everyone turned around in the cabin with their weapons in hand.They couldn't find any valuable clues, so they could only reluctantly return to the platform and gather together to talk silently.

I know that all of us are in a strange paradox right now.indecision.We are not only looking forward to what we can get on "Batihar", but also secretly looking forward to meeting Jiu'er and the others, and ending everything in this port.The source of our psychology is obvious, which is the ancient city under our feet.No matter what the reason is, everyone who comes here must have a strong risk factor.Everyone must have the idea of ​​going through this port and walking into the ancient city to have a look.However, this ancient city hidden in the depths of the earth is indeed too weird, and its figure floating on the lava alone is enough to captivate the soul.Even the four of us who had seen the other two ancient cities before could not help but feel chills in our hearts, let alone the others.so.Everyone now can say that they "love and hate" this ancient city. They want to explore its mystery, but they can't help being afraid of this mystery, which is really contradictory.

After standing there looking at each other for a while, I coughed lightly, and then pulled Uncle Carter and Lan Wu aside.The godfather must be rescued, so no matter what, the four of us must go to the city to find the enemy.However, Uncle Carter and Lan Wu do not necessarily have such a need, I need to discuss it with them.If they choose to wait here, then I can keep Ruan Yu and Xiaoqian here to avoid danger. [

I talked about my thoughts with them.Unexpectedly, these two people shook their heads after hearing this, and then both expressed their intention to go in with me.Blue Five's reason is that it is necessary to investigate those "camouflage uniforms", and it would be better if they could be caught and brought back.Uncle Carter didn't say much, but insisted on going in.Judging from the way he glanced at Lan Wu from time to time, he must have said something that he was reluctant to say because of Lan Wu's presence.

Since both of them insisted, I naturally wouldn't dissuade them.The things in the small town are mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knows what they will encounter. The safety will definitely be higher if there are more people around.After the plan was decided, we returned to the team to assign tasks, and then walked quickly along the branch platform.

All the branch platforms will eventually be connected to the rectangular platform at the end of the room.This platform is facing the entrance when we came in, and its back side is a bronze wall, which is covered with lines, and it is not clear what it is.When we got closer, we realized that the lines were unlike any decorative pattern we had seen before.It is not a rune, nor is it a pattern full of ancient meanings, but a kind of flat line with sharp edges and corners, numerous and dense, making the entire wall look like a huge circuit board.

Right in the middle of this circuit board-like wall, a three-story-high double door stood majestically, imposing.The door opening of the gate is rectangular, and the door frame protrudes outward, with a thickness of about fifty centimeters.The door frame is covered with large and small hollow dots, which are connected with the lines on the wall. It is not known whether it is pure decoration or has some unknown function.On the inside of the door frame was a pair of rectangular door leaves with nothing on them but two smooth bronze slabs.Compared with the walls and door frames with many lines, these two doors are simple and somewhat abrupt, so they can be seen at a glance even from a distance.

When I got to the door, I didn't rush to the door, but stood on the platform and scanned the whole room again.After finding that there was indeed no other place that seemed to be an exit, he made a gesture of preparation to everyone, and then carefully placed his palm on the door leaf.

The touch of the door leaf is very hard, and a trace of coldness quickly climbs up the arm through the palm, which makes my nerves tense.With a little force, the door in front of me slid open inward, with a smooth and smooth sound.Seeing this, everyone immediately became nervous, and the weapons in their hands pointed out the door without exception.In the next second, everyone froze in place after sucking in a breath of air.However, this stiffness does not come from any danger, but from the shock brought by the scene in front of him.

After being stunned for a while, I suddenly came back to my senses, and couldn't help but took a few steps forward.Yan Daojie and others beside me also responded at the same time as me, as if they had received some kind of inexplicable call.After stepping through the gate, I stopped and stood where I was, silently staring at the front, and the surprise in my heart almost burst out.

I knew very well in my heart that except for the four of us, the horror of the others was only from the shock of seeing the city in front of us for the first time, just like when we saw the first ancient city.However, the four of us are different from them. Since we have already seen two mysterious ancient cities, we already have some resistance.If it were just a strange city, I think we wouldn't be frozen like statues in shock.What really surprised us was that the small town in front of us was very similar to the one we saw in Shennongjia not long ago.

What we are stepping on is a rectangular platform. There is a wide staircase in the center of the front end of the platform. There are not many steps, about forty steps.At the end of the stairs was connected a wide road, which stretched forward and led to a building with a vaulted top.Near the center of the main road, a slightly narrower cross-road intersects it at right angles, forming a crossroads.A flat-topped pyramid stands on each of the four corners of the intersection, and two towering obelisks stand at the ends of the cross road.

This layout is almost exactly the same as the small town I saw last time. The moment the gate opened, I almost thought I had returned to the deep forest of Shennongjia again, and I couldn't help sweating.However, when I calmed down and took a closer look, I immediately discovered the difference in the small town in front of me.

Most conspicuously, the vaulted building at the end of the road is indeed very similar to the one I saw last time.However, at the middle and back of the building stands a tall spiral tower, the base of which is connected with the vaulted building, like the sharp horns of a springbok attached to the bottom of an inverted round pot. .In addition, the roads in this small town are also different from the last one. The wide road connected to the stairs is not paved with bricks and stones, but a copper-colored substance, which seems to be some kind of metal. .There are also fan-shaped partitions on the road, as if they are made up of several huge fish scales.The side road that intersects the main road is even more strange.Looking from the platform, there are many dark shadows on the road, as if something is erected, but because the distance is too far, it is not clear.

In addition to these, the square of the small town is also very different from the ancient city last time.There is no such dark green "lantern fruit" here, but some densely packed unknown substances standing upright, which look like huge needle boards.The tops of the four flat-topped pyramids do not have red round stones, but four small columns stand upright.These small columns are emitting a slight red light at this moment, and from time to time they will also emit a red light, connecting the tops of the four pyramids and the two obelisks.

Seeing these lights, my heart couldn't help but tightened violently.A word that made my heart tremble suddenly popped up in my mind-the ancient city is activated.
