The Record of Unusual Creatures

Regardless of the details, Hao Ren’s helpless foreign uninvited guest has caused a huge chaos in the Twilight capital. Sometimes, “chaos” is a necessary means to solve the problem. In order to successfully reach the deepest part of the city, verify Vivienne's guess and understand the operation mechanism of this Twilight Capital, Hao Ren needs a chaos to concentrate all the troubles on the big platform of Shangcheng District.

The harsh whistle is still continually ringing, and there are more Twilight Guards responding to the call to the Upper City. In the eyes of the responsible person of the Defence Force, this incident has gone to a strange and incredible direction. And the whole situation is getting out of control. The top commanders wanted to break their heads and did not understand why such a powerful turmoil suddenly emerged in the city, and the turmoil was entangled with a light-seeker who had just returned from the dark wilderness.

In the past many years, the city has maintained a fairly peaceful situation, despite the shortage of resources, equipment failures, mine accidents, and even the most serious fires in large boilers. No matter which question is at least clear, experts and scholars can always find the root cause of the problem quickly. This time, the turmoil that suddenly popped up in the city could not be explained.

They did not find their origins at all, and there was no warning in this incident.

Most of the tracks and platforms in Shangcheng District are already in a state of martial law. The two giant gear sets in the upper middle part of the Twilight Capital emit a heavy roar. The huge steam column is ejected from the gear set. The whole set of machinery runs at the same speed. It gradually slowed down. Large boilers are reducing their output, in order to prevent the threat from spreading to the vital central pressure pipeline: once a large boiler is attacked and exploded, the damage to the city will be incalculable.

In order to avoid this danger, Twilight has its own emergency plan, which is part of the pressure relief for the central pressure pipeline.

In the vicinity of the top-level platform, fierce battles are still going on. The reinforcements from all over the city have gathered 70% of the past, but they still have not been able to solve the threat. Looking into the direction of the big lift, you can see that there is a burst of smoke, and the roar of the artillery explosion is constantly coming.

Near the big boiler in the upper city, in a steel-cast square tower, the leader of the steam council and the senior commander of the Twilight Guard are studying the information from the front line, a bald head, a single arm, and a mechanical lens embedded in the eye. The group of men just arrived here, he brought the latest news: "The enemy's tactics are very varied, and they have the ability to deform. Now the situation is confusing, and there is no way to count the exact number of opponents and their appearance. Those guys may have the power to summon phantoms, and there should be powerful wizards among them: there are summoning creatures in the field to fight, which makes the intelligence more chaotic."

“Where did these guys come from?” said the Speaker of the Steam Council, a serious middle-aged woman with a frowning eyebrow. “I heard some bad rumors, and I was told to contact the ancient descendants. ”

Sitting in the shadow of the corner of the room, a man with a thin body, the man wrapped himself completely in a black short robe, almost into the darkness around him, and he whispered in a hoarse voice: "This is not a rumor, it is a scholar. Judgment. The basilisk, the giant wolf, the flame giant, their characteristics are basically the same as the ancient legends. It seems that it is not only us who survived the dusk of the gods, but they have also survived and have been hidden in us. In the city."

Everyone in the room heard this sentence and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and all kinds of more negative conjectures came out in an endless stream.

In this way, the chaotic battles that occurred on the elevator platform were passed to the ears of the city's managers, and in a group of people who did not rely on the marginal brains, they gradually evolved into more grotesque appearances.

However, the participants in this melee did not know this at all.

Lily was squandering and sprinting in front of the defense guards of the Twilight Guards. After her transformation, her fur was completely resistant to the attack of ordinary guns. Occasionally, the guns that were too powerful were so painful that she called two Xunzi, he returned to Nangong in May to receive psychological and physical treatment, and turned back to a bulldog again; Izax continued to throw a large fireball at the flank of the lift platform, making a preparation to force open a passage As a result, he almost attracted 60% of hatred; Anthony floated in the air, surrounded by a star-like arcane ball, with his own power, completely suppressed the most elite wizard group in Twilight And he still didn't take it seriously...

And compared to these mammoth guys, the golden dragon Gallard is the most indispensable for the Twilight Guards. After the dragon has been turned into a prototype at the moment, she first eagerly competed with the anti-aircraft firepower of the Twilight Guards, and then realized that this kind of flying in the sky is really stupid (and more important). The reason is that the wing roots are fragile, and the anti-aircraft shells will really drop blood!), so she simply patted her wings and turned to sit on a black giant tower on the edge of the platform. This tower is obviously a vital and fragile Facilities, the heavy guns guarded by the Twilight guards the rats here, the soldiers can only attack Galajol with a powerful musket. I hugged my head and looked at my nose and nose. I just slept to the second moment...

Although this is very unsightly, for the golden dragon, this is really the most effective protective posture. The dragon after the defense is almost a fortress that is invulnerable. She is so old and stuck in the whole place. At the most eye-catching position on the battlefield, the Twilight Aids, who are constantly coming from other parts of the city, will be distracted by this golden creature.

So no one realized that this line of defense had actually been broken.

In the old elevator shaft, Hao Ren, Vivian and Wendell are quickly heading to the lower city.

The battle sounds from the upper levels of the city have gone, and the occasional faint explosions are as far away as from another world.

In order not to be alert to the city guards, Hao Ren did not start the transportation equipment in the passage, but directly let the data terminal drill into the shaft through a ventilation hole, and then the three people who passed in directly flew down the shaft: Vivienne helped, this flight is very simple.

They are “dive” in this ancient and incredible city that is as complex as a three-dimensional labyrinth. The scenery along the way gives the impression of walking through a strange dream. The city is constantly stacking up with the years, and the elevator passages connecting the upper and lower city areas are also stacked with the sun and the moon. The former Shangcheng District has become the lower city, and the former lifting platform has also been demolished. As a new channel bracket, it leaves a layered stack of layers: just like the fossil specimens between the rock layers, the elevator track holds the historical trajectory of the city.

The shaft is very wide and has a perfectly round shape. The wall is supported by steel. As it continues to the more ancient areas of the city, rocks and some gray-white man-made materials gradually appear in the material. The entire well wall is not sealed, but huge openings and gaps can be seen everywhere, some are dedicated to the passage of personnel, and some are purely cracks caused by the building structure. The large black steel pipes are criss-crossed on the well wall, and a steam is sprayed from time to time in the safety valve of the pipeline. In some areas of the shaft, the steam even forms a continuous cloud layer or even a small range of rainfall. This phenomenon makes Hao Renqi surprising.

“Below the lift channel is Milton Lake,” Wendell introduced the secret of the deepest part of the city. “All the steam in the city condenses into water and eventually returns to Milton Lake.”

Hao Ren snorted. At this time, Vivian slowed down the speed of the decline, and he could see the situation more clearly. It should be already close to the lower city, or has already entered the lower city: the shaft in this section presents a state of extreme vicissitudes. Through some large holes in the wall of the well, he saw that there was a very wide space outside. The huge gears were running in the rumble, the steam pipes were distributed, and the black sticky grease was flowing along the ground. Some of them have been shunned. The hollow of the well wall flows into the shaft. He also saw human or human creatures that move between steam pipes and bearing gears. They are pale, short and agile. They have almost no body and no hair on their heads. They turn their faces. At the time, Hao Ren saw that they had unusually large eyes and could almost be called horrible.

"That is the race that lives in the engine room. I have maintained the pressure pipes and bearing groups below for generations. I don't know when it started, they will not leave the engine room. After many generations, they will become like this." Del is responsible for the guide. "It used to be human, but scholars think they are..."

"It’s still human," Vivian said. "You are all trapped in this little box, there is no difference."

After continuing to decline for a while, Wendell broke the silence: "We are in the lower city." (To be continued.)
