After bidding farewell to Meggis and the others, Luke took Pez out of the monitoring room and prepared to go to the bottom of the Cornerstone, which is also the closest place to the Void Ruins.
The two came to the elevator and prepared to use the elevator that was still available to go directly to the bottom.
Looking at the densely packed row of buttons in the elevator, Luke glanced around and directly pressed the button on the bottom floor.
The elevator light flashed green, and then the door slowly closed, but it seemed that something was broken. The elevator door couldn't close completely, but it didn't matter.With a slight chill in the air, together with Luke, they went to the deepest place together.
What is hidden in the weirdest and most mysterious place, the lowest floor of the Cornerstone, the important place connected to the void relic?Or is there something waiting for them?
Luke didn't know, but looking at the scenery passing by outside the elevator gap, she could also feel her heart beating slightly faster.
She got a little excited.
But at this moment, Luke suddenly saw Adriana standing outside from the gap in the elevator and the passing scenery outside.
! ! ! !
Luke's expression changed, and he took a step back subconsciously, feeling a little frightened in his heart.
"Luke? What's wrong with you?" Pez noticed that something was wrong with Luke and asked with concern.
"I..." Luke showed embarrassment, paused, and said, "I think I'm hallucinating again."
"Huh?" Pez was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Is that serious? How painful is it? How about we find a place for you to lie down later?"
Pez was more concerned with Luke's health than the mission.She knew that Luke's headache had been tormenting Luke all the time, and Pez had never disliked Luke because of it, but had been helping Luke get over it.
Because Pez knew that if he was the one who had a headache, Luke would definitely care about him in the same way.
This is the fetter between them, and it has reached the point where there is no need to repeat it.The so-called love is stronger than gold, that's about it.
"No...Let's see it first, I can bear it now, and it shouldn't get worse." Luke shook his head, not really wanting to rest in this place.Seeing this, Pez showed concern, and persuaded: "You should lie down for a while? This is somewhat beneficial, and I will help you guard it."
"It's really unnecessary, buddy. I'll tell you if I really can't hold on." Luke forced a smile, looked at Pez and said, "I'm also a tough guy, of course it doesn't matter if I hold on."
"Since you insist... okay..." Pez was helpless, but still said: "But when you really can't hold on, you must tell me, I don't want you to have an accident at all, old Lu."
"Thank you brother, I understand."
"Hmm..." Pez nodded.
However, at this moment, the descending elevator stopped suddenly, and the sudden inertia made Luke almost stagger.
When Luke stood still and looked around, she was surprised to find that all the surrounding lights had dimmed.
The Cornerstone...is out of power!
Chapter 160 The fifth chapter is cold and in-depth
"Hello, is it real or not? Power outage?" Pez knocked a few times on the elevator floor button in disbelief, but there was no response from the button, and the electronic screen was completely black, showing nothing.
Seeing this, Luke felt a little helpless in his heart, and said to Pez: "It is estimated that there is a real power outage, please save yourself Pez, we have to find another way to go down."
"In such a big place, there is a power outage... MD is over." Pez punched the elevator a little angrily, but she was still rational, so it didn't take much effort.
"Now the staff of the entire Cornerstone don't know if they died or where they went. No one maintains the power equipment, and it will be a matter of time before the power goes out. It's just..."
"Just what?" Pez sensed that Luke wanted to say something.
"It's just as you said, even if no one maintains such a large place, the power should not be cut off right now..." Luke said, and continued: "I think something must have happened to the power facilities. "
Luke's idea was not groundless, as early as when he first entered the cornerstone.She encountered a strange situation, that is, a blood-stained note was clearly behind her at first, but suddenly ran in front of her while walking.
But at this time, there is no change in other places, only the position of the note has changed.Reminiscent of the factor of spatial dislocation, Luke feels that the running around of the note is likely to have a great relationship with the chaotic space in this place.
As
If this is the case, then those power generation facilities may suddenly "run" to other places, causing a power outage for the entire Cornerstone.
Of course, this is just a guess now, and Luke is not sure.
"Anyway, Meggis and I will contact first." Luke habitually reached out to get the communicator in his clothes, but he found nothing.
"Oops, I almost forgot, those communicators were all destroyed before." Luke suddenly thought of this.
"What's the matter Luke? You won't lose it, right?" Pez was a little confused when he saw that Luke hadn't taken out the communicator.
"It's not that I lost it, but those on me were destroyed by the explosion when they came in."
"Ah..." Pez really didn't expect this to happen. She scratched her head and said, "Then let's go out and think of a way first? How about it?"
"That's the only way..." Luke sighed and nodded.
The two worked together to open the elevator door enough for people to get out. After getting out of the elevator, Luke found that they were on the 34th floor.The bottom of the Cornerstone is the 40th floor, and now there are only 6 floors away.
"How about Luke? How about we go on?" Pez asked.
"Hmm... It doesn't look like there is much distance. Let's try to see if we can go on." Luke nodded in agreement.
The two broke open the lock on the fire door at the end of the aisle, pushed the door open and entered, and what they saw was the familiar cold aisle without a single figure.
The temperature in the air was getting lower and lower, and Luke clearly felt that the temperature here was colder than above.And strangest of all, Luke felt that the cold didn't linger directly around her flesh.
Rather... it was entangled in his own soul.
Feeling trembling, feeling helpless, feeling deeply alone...
"........."
Taking a deep breath, Luke pushed all these inexplicable distracting thoughts out of his mind, forcing himself not to think about them.
"Be careful, old Lu, the atmosphere here is not right." Pez also noticed the weirdness here, and reminded him.
"Yes, I know."
Having said that, Luke still felt a little uneasy.
She faintly felt that something was waiting for her.
But the road is at the foot, Luke can't hesitate because of this kind of thing, she has to keep going.
Glancing at the map, Luke found that the stairs leading to the next floor were located on the left, right, and middle of each floor.In fact, next to the fire door where Luke and the others are now is the downward staircase, but the strange thing is that this place has collapsed, and the staircase is completely blocked by falling stones, making it impossible to pass.
It looked like it had been bombed by something.
No way, Luke and Pez had to set off towards the middle of the 34th floor.
The only sounds in the long, deserted passage were Luke's and Pez's footsteps.The doors of the rooms connected by the corridor stared at Luke like empty eyes.
……
Go through the aisle, open the closed room door, and go all the way to the unclosed stairway in the middle.
Fortunately, nothing happened here, and the landing of the stairs can lead safely below.
Came to the edge of the railing and glanced down, Pez turned to Luke and said, "Lu, there is no blockage below, we can go straight down."
Hearing this, Luke also came to the edge of the railing and looked down.
What catches the eye is the stairs leading to the bottom layer after layer. The surface of the stairs is smooth and clean, but the pale color still makes people feel a little creepy.
In this dead space, no one knows what else is waiting for him below.
down... down...
Layer after layer...
Nothing happened in the process, although Luke still felt a little uneasy.
Soon, Luke and the others came to the bottom - the No.40 floor of the Cornerstone.
On the map, this level is marked as the chief engineer level.And it is indeed significantly different from other floors. As soon as Luke arrived here, he found that the chief engineer floor was more than twice as large as the ordinary floors above.
Of course, this refers to the different height and width of the overall space, resulting in different sizes of indoor space.
Pushing open the concealed fire door, Luke led Pez into the interior of the chief engineer floor.
The first thing Luke saw was a large pile of digging equipment and safety overalls lying on the ground.Compared with the upper floors, the chief engineer floor is a whole without dividing rooms, and it is quite messy, with mud and unknown white ash stained in many places.
One set after another of safety work clothes was placed in the wardrobe next to the wall, and there were piles of instruments used for work and some personal items beside it.
But these personal items should never be used again, because Luke found a lot of corpses in overalls nearby.They were lying on the ground in all directions, and their deaths were in various ways, which made it even more unclear what happened at that time.
In the very center there is a huge well-like cavity, and two thick mechanical barriers combined to block this cavity.If Luke guessed correctly, this should be the road leading to the void ruins below.
But now, Luke is worrying about another thing, "Oops, Meggis asked us to contact her after she said here. But now the communicator is gone, this
What should I do? "
However, at this moment, Luke saw Pez squatting and turning over a corpse, as if he was touching something.She stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing, buddy?"
"Uh..." Pez didn't answer directly for a while, but pulled something from the corpse's belt, and then turned to Luke to see, "Look at this, could it be the communicator of those people from Costenburg?" ?”
And in Pez's hand, it was really a small, red thing that looked like a walkie-talkie.
Chapter 160
(Thank you for the monthly pass? (^?^*))
"Can this thing work?" Luke couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.Pez shrugged and threw the communicator to Luke, "Try it, I don't know anything about this anyway."
Although Pez is very good as a "killing machine", she doesn't have much research on the machine, and she can only use it but not repair it.And Luke is slightly stronger, able to use and repair.
Of course, Luke is only half-baked.
It's just that when Luke took the communicator, she suddenly heard a harsh "rustling" sound from behind.Turning around and looking, the green light on the console behind him, which had been off, was now blinking non-stop.
Walking over to the console, Luke found that the green light was connected to a miniature microphone, and there were a lot of buttons around it.If unsurprisingly, this should also be a communication device.
I adjusted it according to the way I remembered, and the rustling sound in the microphone soon disappeared, replaced by a clear and familiar human voice: "Hello, the engineer room is calling the chief engineer, received Please reply, over."
This voice is clearly the voice of Meggis!
Feeling pleasantly surprised, Luke quickly adjusted the button so that the other party could hear her voice, and then she quickly replied: "Megis? Can you hear me?"
"It's very clear, Lord Glutton."
"Hello? Why did the power go out so suddenly? Do you know the reason?" Pez interrupted and asked.
"Sorry the power outage wasn't what we expected, we're repairing the electrical system right now. But it's weird that the upper half of the entire section of all the large generators is completely missing, like it was caught by something very sharp Cut it open and took it straight to the other side."
With that said, Meggis paused for a moment, and then said: "We think this is the main reason for the power outage, and we searched around but couldn't find the missing part of the generator. If you want to forcibly repair these generators , I'm afraid it's impossible."
Sure enough...
Facts have proved that Luke's conjecture is indeed correct, and the generator is very "lucky" to be taken away by a part of his body by the chaotic space.
If you don’t quite understand, in simple terms, right now on this cornerstone, the chaotic space is likely to send a part of your body to another place at any time.Luke didn't know what to call this phenomenon, but it was dangerous anyway.
Frowning, Luke then asked: "Then what are you going to do?" Meggis replied: "It is impossible to repair the generator, and we plan to cut off all the hardware in the monitoring room that stores valuable data." Come down and bring it back, it will take some time."
"As for you, Master Taotie, just go directly to the Void Ruins. After we have finished all the hardware, we will immediately check the Cornerstone to find the target. If the target is still on the Cornerstone, then..."
As soon as he said this, Meggis' voice stopped abruptly, and Luke was a little confused for a moment. He turned his head and found that the green light of the indicator light had been turned off.After checking it again, she realized that the backup power supply on the console was damaged, and they ran out of power just after using it for a while.
"Misfortunes never come singly, Luke..." Pez looked at Luke with concern, and asked, "What should we do? Are we going down?"
"..." Luke was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Well... there is no way, let's go down early."
Now Luke doesn't want to stay here at all, because the chaotic space of the cornerstone may kill her at any time.Although it is probabilistic, Luke dare not bet his life at all.
The hole in the middle of the chief engineer floor is connected to the submerged room outside, where it is really connected to the seawater outside.If you want to go to the ruins of nothingness, you have to dive into the seawater from the submerged room, and go to the ruins of nothingness that is deeper and lower.
There are also beacons inserted by the staff of the Cornerstone on the way. It is impossible to get lost if you get lost.
Put on the diving suit that is ready around, take the mid-sea thruster and a bunch of equipment.After getting ready to go, Luke and Pez are ready to set off for the ruins of nothingness.
………………
On the other side, somewhere on the Cornerstone.
Nan Miaocheng turned on the flashlight she had prepared, barely dispelled the darkness, and dealt with her broken bones for Xi Senli.
"Why is there a sudden power failure?" Sisenli said weakly, and then complained: "It's really terrible."
"Save your strength, you know that a lot of things have happened here." Nan Miaocheng tightened the bandage tightly, the severe pain made Xi Sen show patience, and his brows were furrowed, "You should take it easy."
"If you tap it lightly, it will become unstable, so bear with it."
"Well……"
