Chapter 49 Where the Pipeline Networks Converge

(Thanks to An Ren Wuqian, the 08A brothers, and Lianfeng Linmeng's recommendation ticket.

Every time I post a chapter, I have to read the acceptance speech, which seems to be nagging again~ Well, do you want to add a thank you to CCAV at the end? ~laugh~)

"God...a lot!" After a long while, Haosen's deep sigh came from the communicator.

Tang Fang swallowed and stared blankly at the black layer of bat demons on the ceiling at the end of his vision.

Aros moved his neck: "What should I do?"

"What to do? That's needless to say." As soon as the voice fell, an assault force composed of fanatics, machine gunners, and marauders appeared in front of the three.

Fanatics are still the vanguard. Marauders and machine gunners are in the rear, and along the gaps between the three rows of large mechanical modules, the flood generally flows forward.

Haosen didn't wait for Tang Fang to greet him, roared angrily, shook off his bloated arms, and ran forward, while Tang Fang and Aros shook their heads and followed suit.

The cluttered footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and the bat demon group on the ceiling also discovered the menacing intruders from a distance. After the initial disturbance, they stabilized and did not attack these uninvited guests.

"What's going on?" Tang Fang frowned, feeling a little strange.

Aros is also puzzled. According to past experience, these low-minded bat demons will launch an overwhelming offensive without waiting for the fanatics to approach. What happened this time? Unexpectedly dormant: "It's really weird!"

When the two of them were stunned, Hausen interspersed among the long-range troops and was gradually approaching the bat demons. The machine gunners with a longer range in the front row had already opened fire. Countless metal nails cut through the sky, causing bursts of sharp sonic booms, like a rain of arrows. It usually falls on the bat demon group, bringing a rain of blood.

The inquisitor's grenade dragged out a silver-white tracer in the air, and the hailstone hit the center of the bat demon group, bursting out countless dazzling fragments like scattered flowers of the goddess.

A wounded bat demon fell like a dumpling, and what awaited them would be the bloody massacre of the fanatics.

The bat demon group exploded, and the commotion spread uncontrollably. Some chose to fight back, but with their range, they were not the opponents of the C-14 "piercer" Gauss rifle at all. A round of salvos turned into large showers spewing blood.

There are also some who choose to attack the fanatics. With the peristalsis of the intestines under the two tentacles, pools of dark green strong acid solution are sprayed from the sky, splashing water waves on the light blue plasma shield like ripples. , and then evaporated.

The underground corpses piled up more and more, and panic was like a plague, spreading among the monsters. Several bat monsters fluttered and fled into the distance with their fleshy wings. They were afraid!

One by one, with little effort, more and more bat demons choose to follow the trend and flee.

Tang Fang frowned, don't look at all this as expected, but suddenly there is a strange emotion in his heart that can't be explained, he just feels as if he is being stared at by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, like a mang behind his back. , like a stalk in the throat.

"Haha, don't run!" Hawthorne held up the K-12 quadruple grenade launcher in his hand, and the judge's grenade seemed to be kissing the butt of the bat demon who fell behind, rich in neurotoxins and shock energy. The fragments greatly reduced their speed, and they were strafeed by the machine gunners who caught up behind them, and they fell from the air screaming.

Aros, who was walking side by side with Tang Fang, was still neither sad nor happy,

His face is expressionless, but if you look closely, you can see a hint of worry occasionally flowing through his eyes.

Hausen chased a few steps forward, and came to an open area where crystal pipes and super-long diodes intertwined and converged. Suddenly, there was a sudden stop and he stopped.

"Tang...Tang Fang, I suddenly have a very bad feeling."

"You feel it too?" Tang Fang's voice was low and hoarse.

Howson pointed to a wall beside him: "There seems to be something in here!"

"Something? What!" Tang Fang and Aros also rushed over at this time.

The conical machinery and equipment similar to large-scale particle colliders that stretched all the way suddenly stopped flowing. Looking along the direction in which the bat demon fled, this open area stretched to the end of the line of sight, and I saw it vaguely. some new mechanical mods.

The crystal pipes and the super-long diodes that can be embraced by the three of them converged in the center of the open area with a distance of nearly a thousand meters.

"Huh?" Tang Fang glanced at the left wall, and suddenly found a huge ε character on the surface of the wall where the pipe network converged: "This is... a door?"

Greeting the two to approach the engraved rune, Hausen looked around the wall and couldn't help but shuddered, a chill surged from the bottom of his feet: "Tang Fang, you can think clearly, what's behind this gives me a very special feeling. Weird feeling."

Tang Fang didn't say a word, his eyes stared straight at the ε character that was ten meters square and shone with mercury-like light.

Unlike Aros and Hausen, in addition to having a bad premonition, he also had an indescribable restlessness in his heart, as if something was calling him.

Looking at the three people behind him, the soldiers of the two races of God, and at the Zerg unit on the system interface, and the resource value soaring to 5810, 3670, Tang Fang gritted his teeth and pressed his hand on it.

there is always a solution to a problem. With so many combat units and a lot of savings to splurge, he is confident that he can handle it even if he encounters a group of statue guards. Taking a step back, can you beat it? You can still escape!

From the trend of the pipe network, it can be seen that the room at the other end of the door must be very important. Since the psionic energy fluctuations of the statue guards can activate the God Race technology, there are higher-level psionic energy cores inside.

If this is a "star gate", wouldn't it make a lot of money.

"I can't bear to lose the beautiful girl on the ticket." In one sentence, I spelled it out.

The palms are getting closer and closer to the characters, and Aros and Hausen are ready to fight, each holding up the weapons in their hands.

However, before Tang Fang's hand touched the ε character, as a faint blue streamer flashed, the rune turned and the door opened.

The three of them were startled and took a few steps back involuntarily.

A few breaths passed, but there was no danger as he imagined. Tang Fang raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Through the nearly 20-meter-high rune gate, he could see layers of precision machinery, like the top of the ancient Roman arena. The grandstand is like a grandstand, surrounded by an energy shield surging with sky-blue light waves.

After confirming that there is no danger for the time being, the three cautiously crossed the rune gate.

This is a room 800 meters square, and the distance between the ceiling and the ground is as high as nearly a thousand meters.

The pipe network surging with golden flames and purple lightning passed through the rune gate, traversing hundreds of meters, and finally poured into the central energy shield from top to bottom.

The location where Tang Fang and the three entered the door was on the upper floor of the building. Countless precision instruments were arranged in a circular arrangement, shrinking downward with a trapezoidal slope, passing through the circular energy shield that almost took up half of the room and the layered machinery. Looking down from the long and narrow gap, under the faint blue background light, the control panels of each console flashed with colorful lights, like the Milky Way star belt under the night.

The energy shield with a diameter of 400 meters, the ladder equipment modules with hundreds of layers, and the seven-color light reflected on the energy shield like a neon. Magnificent! Magnificent!

The three of them were stunned, and even a guy like Aros, who was not interested in anything, couldn't help but utter a foul language: "DAMNIT, what the hell are the Ipsilon people doing here!"

"Tang Fang, the door... the door is closed." Just as Tang Fang's expression was moved, Hausen suddenly pulled him and pointed behind him.

The two looked back and saw that the rune door that had been opened earlier was closed at some point.

Tang Fang's face sank, he stepped forward, and put his hand on the ε character. There was no movement, and the one-meter-thick rune gate did not move at all.

"We're locked inside." After speaking, he glanced at the sides again, but did not find the control panel that could control the door switch.

"Look, there is also a door opposite."

Looking at Hausen's direction, I can see that there is an identical rune gate directly opposite. Similarly, countless pipe networks enter from outside the door and finally converge into the central energy shield.

"Sure enough, this room filled with precision instruments is the central hub, where those substances similar to energy flow gather."

Taking a deep breath, Tang looked towards Aros, but saw that he turned a blind eye to the rune gate on the other side, and his eyes were all focused on the energy shield.

"Aros, what are you looking at?"

"Tang Fang, look carefully at the pipes running through the ceiling."

Tang Fang looked up when he heard the words, and saw that above the pipe network composed of transistor channels, super-long "diodes", and countless cable-shaped rubber pipes, dark red organic matter pipes similar to the lower intestines of the centipede seen in the underground of Planet 5 passed through. The energy shield reaches the roof, intertwined into a cobweb-like structure, and innumerable holes of different sizes are opened on the ceiling, which is hard to hurt by guns. What is even more amazing is that they keep squirming, like living. things in general.

"We seem to have come to an incredible place. Perhaps this Nami star has an unusual significance for the Epsilon family." Aros spit out a steaming fumes and said faintly.

Howson punched the rune gate: "Is it useful to say so much? What we have to worry about now is how to get out."

"Since it's here, be safe." Tang Fang glanced at the two of them: "Go, go down."

"Why?" Howson asked.

Tang Fang glanced at him, but did not answer. After recalling the combat unit, he walked towards the lifting platform not far away.

Aros also gave him a sideways glance, picked up the gun, and followed him.

"Am I being stupid by asking this question?" Hausen looked at the retreating backs of the two and couldn't help sighing.

...

About 5 minutes later, the lifting platform slowly stopped at the bottom of the room. The three walked down and walked slowly to the highest platform.

The so-called control center is far from an imagined human-computer interface similar to a ship control platform, but a psionic flame suspended in mid-air and surrounded by countless unfamiliar characters.

On both sides of the icy flames, there are silky silk threads fluttering like cotton wool.

"Hey, what is this." Howson was curious about what happened to the baby again. Before Tang Fang could speak, he stretched out the hand that caused countless troubles towards the central flame.

"Idiot, why don't you get into trouble enough?"

A lesson from the past, this room already gave people a very depressing and dangerous feeling. Aros was afraid that this guy would continue to commit crimes, and almost 80% of his attention was on the hand that he wanted to chop off with a knife and throw it to feed the dog. . Hausen's hands are fast, he is even faster, grabbing the former's wrist directly, and taking advantage of the situation to say goodbye.

"Ah..." The scream like killing a pig came: "Aros, what are you doing?"

"Hey, save your life!"

Tang Fang turned a blind eye to the disputes between the two around him, and all his attention was focused on the psionic flame in front of him. Until this moment, he was just certain that the fluctuations similar to spiritual summoning he had felt before came from in front of him. This psionic flame.

Along the way, after seeing these mechanical facilities in the ruins, he suddenly had a very absurd feeling.

From a purely mechanical manufacturing point of view, the technology of the Ipsy Dragons can be said to be extremely similar to that of human beings, but in key points, they are very different, such as the flame-shaped control center in front of them.

If you have to describe it intuitively, Ipsilon's technology seems to combine the characteristics of the two races of humans and gods in StarCraft, thus forming a very special grotesque style.

Why does one race develop two distinct styles of tech? What the hell does this happen?

Tang Fang pondered for a long time, until the two people next to him stopped arguing, then he came back to his senses, shook his head unconsciously, and smiled bitterly.

Just like the question of "how did the Ipsilon disappear", countless experts and scholars have studied and debated for more than 200 years, and so far, they have not found even a little clue.

As a layman, why should he waste time and energy, entangled in such issues.

Thinking of this, he no longer bothered to disassemble the armor module on his arm.

Howson watched helplessly as he removed the armor on his hands, and then stretched out his hands towards the psionic flame.

"Hey, Aros, why did you only stop me and not him?"

After waiting for a long time without Aros answering, Hausen turned his head and saw that the middle-aged veteran was looking at the circular energy shield on his head in horror.

Haosen looked up subconsciously, and when the terrifying scene in the sky came into view, he couldn't help taking a breath, and his belly gas that was as cold as a knife flew all the way, almost freezing the two waist flowers into ice balls.

The energy shield was rapidly dissolving at a speed discernible to the naked eye, and through the thinning, pale blue light curtain, I saw a sarcoid-like behemoth slowly opening its scarlet single eye that occupies most of its body. , cast a icy gaze towards the place where the three stood, which made people seem to be in a boundless killing prison.

"Tang Fang, what have you done!"

In Haosen's roar, Tang Fang suddenly withdrew his outstretched hands like an electric shock, and subconsciously frowned and replied, "I didn't do anything."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel the atmosphere was different, and couldn't help but take a look. In an instant, Baihui's acupoint numb, and his entire scalp exploded.

(The 4000-word chapter, it is not easy to split into two chapters, they are sent together, and there is no more at night.)
