Chapter 738 Control Room
…
At the bottom of the deep well, Li Mengyun stared at Xia Fan in surprise, as if the latter was a stranger.
"What did you just do?"
"I don't know either." Xia Fan was also confused. He is a legal life form. What does this mean? Obviously we are all human beings, but are we not the same when it comes to the patio system?
"Let's worry about that for now, let's go in quickly!" Ning Wanjun urged, "The evil spirit is still chasing us!"
This sentence immediately reminded everyone.
After getting into the gate, Xia Fan found the same control panel and pressed the button to close the emergency gate again.
At this moment, the green fluorescent lights came on - although they could only illuminate a small area, they would not make the entire passage dark.
At the same time, there was a comfortable air-conditioning. Xia Fan felt that the burning sensation on his back was slowly fading away, and the turbid air in the helmet gradually became fresher.
Could it be...
Xia Fan turned over his wrist and found that the indicator on the protective suit had stopped working. He tried to take off his helmet and found that there was no sense of deadness in this place that had been closed for hundreds of years. There is a gentle breeze blowing in the passage, and you can neither smell the dust nor feel the suffocation of lack of oxygen.
His guess was right! There is still a part of the system in the courtyard that continues to operate, preventing this huge ruin from decaying over time. The hot air is not geothermal, but the heat dissipation behavior of the system itself. However, the heat flow becomes unstable due to damage to the outer wall!
In other words, if the patio walls can be repaired, the risk of activities inside the well will be greatly reduced.
"Is your injury... okay?" Li brushed his hand on Xia Fan's back and asked worriedly.
Under the damaged protective clothing, his exposed skin was covered with blisters, and where the wings originally were, the skin was completely peeled off, revealing red, swollen and eroded muscles, and blood was constantly oozing out.
"Don't worry, it won't affect your movements." Xia Fan pretended to wave his arms easily, but was stung by the sudden pain and took a breath. Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and controlled his expression with all his strength so that no flaws were revealed. Thanks to the alchemist's excellent physical fitness, his tolerance for injuries has also increased. For an ordinary person, he would basically have to lie down under such a burn. "Now without any further delay, we have to find the control room quickly. Maybe there will be a chance to get in touch with the higher-ups."
If there are no mistakes in the plan, Qian and others should be on their way to Baili Town at this moment. Once the Jinxia Army intervenes, the relationship between the two parties will be quite delicate.
Before there is conclusive evidence, he does not want to completely antagonize the Salvationists.
"How to get to the control room?" Li Mengyun's tone was also quite solemn. The outbreak of the evil wave was so coincidental that it was hard for her to believe that it was just a coincidence.
"It's on this floor," Xia Fan recalled the structural diagram and walked towards the front of the passage first. "As long as we circle the patio, we won't miss it."
However, before everyone could take a hundred steps, a red light suddenly lit up behind the passage.
"what is that……"
Li turned around and murmured.
I saw the red light gradually spreading from a palm-sized area to the entire sealed door, like a steel ingot freshly released from the Jinxia City smelting plant. But soon, everyone realized that this was not an illusion, but reality! The warning lights on the door exploded one after another, the edges began to twist and deform, and molten iron dripped.
"It's evil!" Luo Qingqing exclaimed, "There is a large amount of chaotic energy gathering behind the door, and the scale looks...much stronger than the big devil!"
"A dragnet of heaven and earth!" Yan Qing shouted, commanding the chains to rise from the ground and rush toward the door from all directions. In an instant, the end of the passage was tightly covered with a network of iron cables. In theory, no entity could escape this blow.
But the evil spirit in Luo Qingqing's mouth didn't seem to be affected at all.
Not only has the scope of Hong Zhi not narrowed, but it has further expanded.
And the chains made of air by the Lockweaver actually withered like branches under the high heat, and turned into a part of molten iron in the blink of an eye.
"This..." Yan Qing couldn't help but be stunned. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. "Where is the evil spirit?"
"It's on the ground and on the wall..." Luo gently raised his hand to half-cover his eyes, and replied with some difficulty - obviously looking directly at the core of high fever was not a comfortable experience, "I don't know what to do How to describe it, it has no fixed shape, it is more like a pool of flowing water..."
Is it like a liquid evil spirit? And it can’t be seen intuitively with the naked eye?
Xia Fan tried to throw two copper wire pendants, and used the Flowing Light Technique and the Shock Technique Dongfeng successively. A bolt of lightning and a projectile were shot from his left and right hands, accurately hitting the floor in front of the door!
"No!" Luo Qingqing immediately gave feedback, "The streamer technique has a certain effect, but it can only leave a wound on the energy of chaos, and the projectiles are completely ineffective!"
And it is obviously not suitable to use Jiuxiao Tianlei in the narrow passage.
"What should we do now?" Luo Qingqing showed a rare expression of bewilderment. If the Dongfeng Technique cannot cause effective damage, then her Dragon Scale Flying Blade will not be much better.
In less than a few dozen breaths, the end of the entire emergency tunnel had turned red. Even though they were a hundred steps away, everyone could feel the rolling heat wave coming towards their faces.
"Of course...run!" Xia Fan said decisively.
He had already seen that although this unprecedented evil spirit had full defense, its own movement speed was not fast enough. As long as everyone ran, they would never be caught up by the enemy. At the same time, the high temperature area it brought was equivalent to a barrier, blocking the agile ghosts and spirits outside, and instead let everyone focus on finding the control room.
Xia Fan did not forget that there were three emergency passages connected to the control room. Even if the road in front of them was melted, it did not mean that they were in a desperate situation. What he was really worried about was that this evil spirit seemed to be able to cause serious damage to the patio at the physical level. If it penetrated into the patio area, the situation would be troublesome.
Everyone woke up from their dream and ran deep into the passage!
Xia Fan also skipped those forks and only focused on the room that might be the control room-theoretically, such special places would be marked with key points to prevent unrelated people from entering by mistake, so it should not be difficult to find.
As it turned out, he guessed right.
After running for about half a quarter of an hour, a thick, sealed door appeared on the right side of the passage. Not only were there yellow and black warning strips around it to distinguish it, but the nameplate on top of it, "Fourth Command Post", was directly illuminated by fluorescent lights.
He found his destination.
