Chapter 233: The Passage of Mystery

"What did you find?" I shouted and jumped down. After passing through the big hole that was smashed by Sgoth, I continued to fall for more than ten meters before I hit the ground. What was surprising was that this place was actually a mechanical room in an elevator, which means there was an elevator down where we were now standing.

This power chamber has a set of electrical cable retention and storage equipment, and there is also a large motor next to it. Dozens of cables are dragged through pulleys and winches to the four corners of the room, and then pass through the four holes on the ground to the space below. It is obvious that this is a small cargo elevator, because elevators specially equipped with people do not require such a large space, and large cargo elevators use not cable suspension structures but mechanical gear transmission.

"You all come down." I shouted to the top and jumped down one after another. I and Sgoth found a metal cover on the floor and lifted it open. This cover is about the same size as a manhole cover. Below is a vertically downward elevator shaft. There is a vertically downward hanging ladder directly opposite the cover. From here, it looks hundreds of meters deep.

"Where do you think the place will be below?"

"No matter where it is, it must be very important." Xiaochun said.

Vina suggested: "I think we should get the information we need first, and then go down to explore the environment below."

"There shouldn't be much defensive force on the information. Ling, you, Yeyue and Xiaochun, go and get the things back and come back as soon as possible."

"Understand." After receiving the order, Ling and Xiaochun and the others jumped down the passage we just jumped down and returned to the top. We observed the situation below. Although the elevator shaft is dark, this does not affect us.

"I'll go down and take a look first." Lingling grabbed the cover armrest and wanted to jump down, but I stopped her. "Let Bai Lang and Xiao Bai go down first. They have an advantage over us in this kind of place."

After hearing my suggestion, Xiaobai and Bailang immediately tore a huge crack in the hole on the ground and then jumped down. Although the elevator shaft was vertically down, Xiaobai and Bailang could run along the wall like on the flat ground with their powerful limbs and sharp claws. If you turn the camera sideways and shoot, you can't tell that they are moving on the vertical wall.

After Xiaobai and Bailang went down, Lingling immediately jumped in, and Sgoth and I followed quickly. The passage was very deep, but we didn’t have to climb ladders like ordinary people, but bounced along the wall left and right. Each rebound could drop by more than ten meters. After more than ten rebounds, we finally landed successfully.

There is not a solid ground below, but a small freight elevator. The elevator has no ceiling or walls. It only has a floor made of steel wire mesh and several supporting beams. The four corners of the elevator are connected to the power chamber where we were just here. However, although we arrived at this elevator, we did not find the elevator exit. We had already seen it when we came down the wall just now. There was no door in the passage above, which means it was a sealed passage. I looked down through the wire mesh at my feet. The elevator was only five or six meters away from the ground below, and the section below was completely sealed, and the elevator shaft had no exit to the outside.

"This seems to be an abandoned elevator." Vina said, pointing to the rusty floor. "Depending on the rust situation, no one has come in for at least ten years."

After hearing this, I immediately shouted to the person above: "Don't hurry down, scan the entire passage and see where the original exit is."

When the people above heard this, they immediately stopped running downwards. Instead, they took out their weapons and inserted them into the wall to fix themselves in the passage. Then everyone began to scan the passage in the height area where they were located. Soon someone found the original exit. It turned out that there was not only one exit. There was a gate about six meters down from the elevator above. As long as you stop and observe carefully, you can see that there were very obvious traces of repair on the wall. Later, the cement used for the blocked door and the original cement were adjusted no matter how they were.

There will be some differences in the number of things, so the joints look very obvious. The second door passes downward by about thirty meters, and then there is another door so long, and then it is completely closed and accessible until the elevator where we are stationed is exactly the lowest door. The opening directions of the four gates are in the same direction. Obviously, there is a huge underground building at the same depth as the elevator in this direction, otherwise it would be impossible to leave an elevator shaft at such a deep place.

"Do you need to open and see what's going on there?" Sgoth asked me.

"Of course, but we can't drive them all together. Let's go in from the bottom. Take a few people back first, destroy the monitors on the lower floors of the base above, and then find a way to block the passage here. I don't want anyone above to make trouble for us when we go down."

"I understand." After Sgoth took the man with me, I started digging holes in the wall with my sword. The cement wall was very low in size, and it was basically completely powdered with a little force. However, there was a brick wall behind the cement wall. After we dug the bricks, we encountered a layer of anti-corrosion protection. Behind this plastic-like protective layer is a relatively thin alloy armor plate, and behind the armor plate is a concrete wall. However, this layer of concrete is much harder than the outside layer of cement, and there is also a very thick steel fine woven into a mesh for reinforcement. However, it is useless to reinforce it. Unless it is a high-temperature resistant material, our laser sword cutting effect is similar to anything. After all, it does not cut objects by hardness, so hard matter and soft matter are the same for it.

Because we were afraid of being discovered by people outside, we used very careful methods to cut the wall. When Sgoth and Ling and others completed their tasks, we had just cut the reinforced concrete wall. There was something behind the concrete wall, but it was just a very thin layer of cement, which could be knocked open even if ordinary people used some force. When I dug this layer of thing, I knew that it must have been dug through. This layer of cement was probably the outermost layer of material that finally leveled the wall, so it was so thin. I carefully scanned the situation outside with an electromagnetic force field, and confirmed that there was no one on the opposite side and the alarm system before we opened the thin piece of cement. After passing through the cement wall, we actually entered an environment like a sewer.

This is a cement passage two or three meters wide. There are still many pipeline facilities arranged in densely on the wall where we came in. Because we were afraid that these things would trigger the alarm, we had to dig down to dig out the wall. On both sides of the passage and on the top of our heads, we were almost filled with these pipes of various diameters and purposes. The pipes on the walls look like gas or liquid transport pipes, while the wires on the top of the heads are of varying thickness, but there are a large number and they all look dense.

"Is this...the pipeline layer?" Yeyue asked, touching the pipeline on the wall.

"It's not very similar." Sgoth said: "There is no need to be connected to the pipe floor, and it doesn't look like it was later remodeled."

"No need to guess." Shuangxue suddenly pulled an iron sign from the wall next to her. "The one we just came down is a construction channel, and there is a base behind it. We are in the pipeline ditch!"

"Base?" Xiao Chun took the iron card in confusion and asked while looking: "Isn't there a base above? Why is another base here?"

"Obviously only the Americans themselves know!" Ling said and walked forward. "There is an airflow here, probably an outlet."

We quickly followed and after passing through a passage, we found a door, but the metal door was completely rusted and we had to cut it down. Through the passage, it was still a simple cement passage, and some places were even exposed to rocks. The entire passage looked more like a mine channel than a research base. The only difference from the layer outside was that there were not so many pipes here.

"What the hell is this?"

"God knows."

I walked along the passage and walked about two kilometers before a place similar to a rest station appeared on the edge of the passage. This place was actually a little widening the passage, digging a little larger, putting some tables, chairs, benches, nails on the walls, and several large flashlights that were almost rotten. There were a few excavation tools scattered on the ground, and there were also a dusty ceramic cup on the table.

"Why do I think this place doesn't look like a research base?" Vina picked up the cup on the table and looked inside and said.

"I think so." Xiaochun agreed.

"No matter where this is, I think it hides a huge secret. The weird defense strategy of the experimental base above may be because of this place." Ling said as he took the lead and walked towards the depths of the passage, we had to follow.

The passage seemed to wind forward endlessly. We walked more than a kilometer in one breath before finally stopping. What appeared in front was a collapsed passage, and the entire passage was buried by gravel, but our powerful perception ability told us that the passage was open because the wind was blowing out from the gaps between these gravels, which was just very weak.

"Do you need to dig it out?" Sgoth walked to the rock and asked me. I nodded, and he immediately waved and called the Knights to go over and start moving the stones. Although cleaning the passage should be time-consuming, we have great strength. Moving the stones is like moving a carton, and the speed is naturally not comparable to that of humans digging with bare hands. Soon we cleared a passage from the gravel, but this five-meter-long broken belt kept collapsing downwards, and we had to use an electromagnetic field to support the ceiling to make the excavation continue. Fortunately, it would collapse only in this five-meter-long section, and there would be no problem in the past.

After passing through the landslide passage, we walked forward for more than ten meters and suddenly found a light ahead. Could it be that the real experimental area has arrived?
