Chapter 1127 Above and Underground

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…」

In the dark world, the Mammoth moved forward, and the sound of the huge roaring engine echoed in the dead world, but... there was nothing.

“To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a world that is so desolate.”

Looking at the scene outside the window, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh, and everyone nodded. It's not like they haven't been to doomsday worlds before, such as the War Planet, Skynet Planet, Guardian Planet, and that weird zombie world.

 But strictly speaking, in these worlds, almost only humans are facing extinction. Other animals and plants are still thriving in these worlds. Even in the demon world, which is connected to the gate of Mars Hell and almost completely slaughtered by demons, there are plants and life.

For example, the vines climbing on the dilapidated high-rise buildings, the green grass, and the wild beasts wandering among the ruins... these are at least considered life, but there are no humans among them.

 But it’s completely different here.

I don’t know if it was because the clouds and fog completely blocked the sunlight, or if there was something really wrong with the battle. In short, the entire land was completely dead, and no signs of life could be seen. Regardless of whether they are animals or plants, as for the original urban ruins, most of them have been destroyed after thousands of years of weathering. If you can barely see the foundation, it is considered to be of good quality.

"To be honest, do you really plan to come back to this world? Why not listen to me and change the planet again."

Duanmu Huai looked at Shurelia who was standing next to her, silently looking at the scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but complain.

  If there is life below you, even if it is a life form that has mutated due to radiation or something, it means that there is still life surviving in this place. As a result, they had been walking in this **** place for several hours, and there wasn't even a single thing that could be called alive. Even the oriole was dead silent and didn't respond to any signals.

Even if this place is purified...can it still be used? Duanmuhuai turned his head silently and looked at the mountain next to him - in fact, it was not a mountain, but the surface of the earth that was raised due to changes in the earth's crust.

This is because the crust of the earth has changed. Who knows what the Mechanicus used to make it like this?

 To be honest, Duanmuhuai has no expectations for this.

He said, it’s better to let these people consider finding a new home. Dardanelle doesn’t have an atmosphere modification device. Even if there is no habitable planet nearby, it can still create one. Isn’t it better than this?

A forge world is like this, and most of the things inside are hopeless. We still hope to get some inventory. Now it seems that even if we pick up garbage, we can't pick up anything warm. Maybe even the fragment of the Star God is real. , there is no way to use it. Maybe the world in front of us is the result of the power of the Star God fragments...

 “Didi didi...!”

Just when Duanmuhuai was thinking about it, suddenly, the bird's augury made a clear low sound, and at the same time, Maria, who had been staring at the bird's augury, also lit up.

 “Signs of life on radar!”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai immediately cheered up.

"Where?"

“It’s five kilometers directly ahead of us, and it’s moving!”

"very good."

Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, and then issued the order.

 “Let’s see what this is and get going!”

 “Boom, boom, boom!!”

The Mammoth accelerated again and moved forward. Just like its name, the giant chariot in front of me really ran like a giant mammoth and quickly reached its destination. However...

 “There’s nothing here?”

 Duanmu Huai looked at the radar and then looked around.

The searchlights on the Mammoth have all been turned on, covering 180 degrees in all directions, even the sky is illuminated, but there is still no sign of any living thing.

 “It’s right here, right?”

"Yes……"

"What's wrong?"

“The signal shows that the other party is underground.”

 “Underground……”

Hearing Maria's answer, Duanmu Huai frowned.

 “Approximately how deep?”

“150 meters, detection shows that there should be an underground cavity below.”

“So there’s no life on the surface, so it’s all gone underground? Well, it seems understandable.”

Duanmu Huai seemed very calm about this. After all, if you think about it carefully, the surface environment may be so bad that no life can survive, but that is not necessarily the case underground.

"All right."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer.

“Then that’s it, let’s go deep underground to investigate.”

“Going deep underground? How to get down? There’s no entrance or exit nearby?”

"It's not necessary, you just need to come with me... Ann, Ogis, Lorena, you come with me. Maria, you, Sydney and Shurelia stay in the chariot, waiting at any time. My order, be careful around you."

"yes."

“By the way, remember to wear power armor.”

"Why?!"

 Hearing this, the boss of Andu was not happy.

 “Do you have to wear it? That’s so ugly.”

 “If you don’t wear something, don’t go. How about staying in the Mammoth?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, An's momentum weakened.

"All right………"

Although according to the instrument testing, the air outside can still sustain human survival, but just in case, Duanmu Huai also asked Lorena, An and others to wear space armor from Star Alliance. At least this thing has The shield is resistant to attack or it is a fully sealed space warfare style. No matter what the environment is, you are not afraid of problems, right? Of course, An Lai said she didn't like this ugly design, but Duanmu Huai didn't care. You can either wear this or wear the power armor of the Inquisition. It's your choice.

 So in the end, An chose the Star Alliance armor - at least it was a little stronger than the iron cans of the Inquisition.

Soon, after changing their equipment, the group walked out of the Mammoth and then came to a nearby open space.

 “How do we get down now?”

An looked around, then asked curiously.

"By the way, although my teleportation magic is not unusable, teleportation to unknown spaces is very dangerous, and the flow of magic here is somewhat disordered. I am not sure whether it can succeed..."

 “I don’t intend to use such a troublesome method.”

Hearing An's words, Duanmu Huai waved the war hammer and then held it tightly.

 “I have an easier way.”

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the three of them were all stunned, and then they saw Duanmuhuai raising his war hammer high.

"Wait a minute...Mr. Knight, are you...!"

 “Boom!!”

Amid An's screams, Duanmuhuai's war hammer was seen hitting the ground heavily, and the next moment, the ground under everyone's feet instantly cracked and shattered!

 “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

 The next moment, accompanied by the screams of the girls, the group fell into the dark abyss of the cave!

　　　………………”

 Seeing this scene, Shurelia and Xueli were both stunned. They looked out the window blankly, then turned to look at Maria.

“Miss Maria, the Inquisitor smashed a hole in the ground and disappeared!”

 “Well, that’s what it is like, Lord Judge.”

 Maria looked at the auspicious instrument silently and spoke very calmly.

 “It’ll be fine as soon as you get used to it.”

"Well…………"

Facing Maria's answer, the two of them looked at each other in confusion.

 Frankly speaking, they feel that they may not be able to get used to this kind of operation...

If An and the others know what Xue Li and others are thinking now, then they will definitely tell each other - they can't get used to it either!

 “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

Under the influence of gravity, the group of people fell rapidly and reached the underground in almost no time. Fortunately, everyone was not ordinary people. After coming back to their senses, they immediately came up with various methods—— Lorena imitated Ogis and grabbed Duanmu Huai's power armor, while An quickly raised her hands. Soon, as the magic circle emerged from above her head, a violent gust of wind turned into a tornado and rose from the ground. , directly involved everyone, quickly offset the impact of their fall, and then placed several people safely on the ground again.

 Until her feet landed on stable ground, An breathed a sigh of relief.

“I forgot, Mr. Knight likes to do this kind of thing, please tell me earlier next time if it’s okay!”

 “Well, I’ll pay attention next time.”

 “It’s really…”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's insincere answer, An sighed helplessly, and then looked around.

“But it’s so dark here, I can’t see anything.”

"This is not a problem."

Duanmu Huai raised his left hand and pointed it into the air. With a "bang" sound, a dazzling flare was emitted, shining in the air and illuminating the scene in front of him - under the bright light, he could see that the scene below was still there. Dilapidated platforms and collapsed house ruins...

“Well, it seems that this place used to be an underground factory or a subway station or something.”

Duanmu Huai took a look at the railway tracks buried in the soil and quickly came to a conclusion.

 “So where is the life signal?”

"Three hundred meters ahead...but before that, I found something more interesting."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai strode forward. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled out an object from behind the ruins.

That is………

"one person?"

 “A dead man.”

Duanmu Huai shook the corpse in his hand, and seeing this scene, the faces of the girls also changed slightly.

"How could someone die? Could it be the hole you made just now, Mr. Knight..."

“No, that’s not the case. Look clearly, this guy was torn to pieces by something.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and opened the opponent's belly - where a wound stretched from the neck almost to the navel, and was completely opened. Just like Duanmu Huai said, this person died from a monster attack, but before that...

 “Hey? Is there anyone alive down there?”

Lorena looked at the corpse in front of her in surprise and couldn't help but scream. Hearing her shout, An was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was true that they had walked on the ground for so long without even seeing a single person!

And this person obviously died not long ago. Could it be that...

 “It’s interesting.”

Duanmu Huai put down the body in his hand and smiled.

 “Looks like we found something fun.”

Then he spoke.
