Chapter 721 Home
After closing the door, Xia Fan turned the valve again until it was completely locked.
"Well... all we have to do now is see how lucky we are." He looked around the room, looking for possible starting devices. There are two things to bet on. One is that this seemingly close-fitting protective suit has a complete circulatory system that can ensure his survival in extreme environments; the other is that the gas chamber remains undamaged after hundreds of years. , and can fully fulfill its mission.
Of course, neither of these things is a one-and-done deal. If the airlock is broken, then it means that he cannot go to the outside world. He can return to the passage by reopening the door. Second, if the protective clothing cannot protect him, he will have at least one minute to stop the air sealing process.
The control panel is very eye-catching, with two pancake-sized buttons, one red and one green, placed side by side in front of another small door in the room.
Xia Fan took a deep breath and photographed the red button.
Suddenly, there was a hissing sound in the room.
The back of his hand glowed almost at the same time!
Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before raising his right hand. He saw a small screen light up on the back of his hand - it showed the word thirty and was counting down continuously. There was also a warmth in his clothes!
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This piece of clothing can automatically sense changes in the environment and switch to protection mode, which not only provides oxygen, but also insulates you from the cold! The built-in flexible screen is almost integrated with the material of the clothes. If it didn't suddenly light up, you might not even notice its existence.
As for the number displayed on the screen, it is most likely the working time limit of the protective suit.
Thirty minutes can't be said to be a long time, but considering that this dress doesn't even have an external oxygen bottle visible, it's a technical miracle that it can last for so long.
Xia Fan waited until the sound of air leakage completely disappeared before pressing the green button.
After about four minutes, the dim light from the button finally went out. At this moment, the countdown on the clothes stopped, and the light on the wrist also dissipated.
I have to say, this design is quite silly.
Anyone with no experience and a basic understanding of vacuuming can easily handle this emergency gear.
Xia Fan opened the passage door.
"How's it going?" Li was the first to walk into the airlock, grabbing Xia Fan's helmet and looking left and right, as if to confirm whether he was still intact.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Xia Fan smiled and patted her on the head, then looked at everyone, "Everyone, we are about to enter a new world. Does anyone want to experience it?"
…
Finally, after weighing the risks and aid personnel, he selected a total of five people to enter the airlock. Apart from Li, Luo Qingqing, Olina and Shanhui, the last spot fell to Venerable Shengtian.
Originally, Xia Fan didn't want the other party to join them. First of all, the Venerable had a special status and was a high-ranking figure in the Salvation Sect. If he was damaged while traveling with them, it might arouse the suspicion of the sect. If conflicts arise between the two parties, the consequences will be immeasurable.
But he really couldn't stand the other party's strong request, so he could only include him in the team.
In the words of His Holiness, Bai Yao Mountain is the territory of the Salvation Sect. Regardless of emotions or reasons, there is no reason to put guests in danger first.
After everyone completed their preparations, Xia Fan took the red button again.
This time he didn't look back. After confirming that everyone's protective suits were activated normally, he opened the small sealed door at the other end of the secret room.
The two "worlds" are connected at this moment.
"Let's go." Xia Fan said, and then took the first step to leave the airlock.
The touch under the feet was very soft. Apparently after the boundary of the mountain was destroyed, a lot of dust poured in through the breach and covered most of the ground. The touch was almost the same as sand when stepped on.
"You have actually known where this place is for a long time...right?" Lord Shengtian's solemn question came from the helmet.
"Hey...Xia Fan, is that so?"
"Have you ever listened to news from outside the world before?"
Others also stopped and said.
"You can say yes, you can say no." Xia Fan was silent for a moment before replying, "This is why I want to stop the car to confirm. But no matter where this place is, it is not a place suitable for survival, so the permanently frozen sea is There will be a boundary, and Bai Yao Mountain will refuse anyone to go deep.”
"You mean we are being protected?" Lord Shengtian said in disbelief.
"That's understandable."
"Is the person who protects us a god?" Olina couldn't help but ask.
"No, those protectors are lying here." Xia Fan pointed forward.
Li and others followed his hand and then took a breath in unison. In the ruins under the broken wall, there were several corpses lying in random directions - they were also wearing thick protective clothing, but a few parts were missing, some had broken helmets, some had their bodies crushed... almost Everyone maintained the appearance they had before death, with ferocious expressions and bulging eyes, as if they might get up at any time.
"How is this possible!?" The Venerable said in shock.
This ruin has been silent for hundreds of years. Not even a single corpse has been found in the entire patio area, let alone a living person. According to His Holiness the Pope's prophecy, the previous batch had already escaped suffering, so they would not leave any traces. But here, she saw human beings who looked exactly like herself, and they had obviously been dead for hundreds of years, but their bodies were still intact. This was completely beyond her common sense.
"Are they evil?" Shan Hui asked cautiously.
"No, there is no breath on them." Luo sighed softly, "The soul is gone, they are now accumulation."
Xia Fan did not stay for long, he crossed the huge broken wall and came to the outside of the "mountain".
The silver light above his head was more than the full moon.
There was no longer any shelter to stop him from looking up at the sky.
"Oh my god..."
Xia Fan sighed for the first time.
He finally knew where the strange feeling came from before.
Above the barren land, a sphere was half hidden in the darkness - its size was much larger than the moon, just like the scene he saw in the carriage.
But now he could see it more clearly.
The sphere was a beautiful blue-gray color, and the rotating white ribbons covered the bright part of the sphere like snowflakes, which looked a hundred times more gorgeous than the most complex and colorful gems. And the dead and silent mountain land under his feet formed a sharp contrast with it.
He had seen the full view of this sphere countless times in photos, but he never thought that one day he would actually look down at it from this angle.
For most people, this blue planet has a more nostalgic name.
- "Home".
