Chapter 671 Small Piece of Scarlet Crystal
Weaponry……
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Although it is unlikely, if it can be found...
He glanced at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying's eyes slowly opened wide at this time.
"I... let's go find it!"
She originally didn't want to cause trouble, but if she could really find the weapons of the alien invaders, and those weapons were powerful enough...
Does that mean she doesn't have to use the weapons she brought?
In this case, could she... live a little longer?
Although the young Xu Ying here is likely to be teleported over a year or two later, she cannot exist in the same time and space as that Xu Ying at the same time, but one or two years is still time!
Even if it is only one year, the World Tree can be stretched to a hundred years!
Although she had the will to die before she came here, if she could not die, she could live for another hundred years...
There are still many things she wants to do!
"Let's go take a look."
Xu Xin said, he noticed Xu Ying's thoughts.
"Really going? In this case, we..."
…
Soon, Zhao Xiaochuan took the lead, followed by Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who were wearing cloaks of the Invisible.
The three of them were walking normally, because Xu Xin and Xu Ying could not move too quickly, otherwise there was a risk of being discovered.
Silver King has been put into the bracelet, and Coco is nestled in Xu Xin's arms, with his little body wrapped in part of the cloak. Only his little head poked out and looked out.
"Hey..."
As he got closer, Coco shrank her little head.
"You must be careful. This place is not empty and it is very dangerous." Xu Xin warned.
Xu Ying was holding a device in her hand that could block surrounding sounds, so even if the three of them chatted aloud, it would not be a big problem.
The reason why Xu Xin said this was because Coco had pulled his clothes before and didn't want him to get close.
It was clearly aware of the danger in this area.
However, at this moment, Xu Xin and the others, who had the cloak of the Invisible, naturally did not want to give up.
It is very likely that there are weapons of alien invaders here. If they can obtain them, it will definitely be of great help to their operation this time.
And even if something goes wrong and the other party becomes suspicious, the worst case scenario is that Xu Ying can be transported directly.
Their main method of action this time was to infiltrate. If they only infiltrated into one place, they would be very prepared in terms of means and escape routes.
The building in front of me really looks like a factory.
A single building covers a very large area. Looking at it, it covers at least tens of thousands of square kilometers, but it is very low, with only one floor.
Xu Xin and the others walked around the building for a while and finally saw the main entrance of the building.
On the metal wall, a door also made of metal was tightly closed.
Strangely enough, even in this desert with constant wind and sand, these metal buildings look smooth and traceless, as if they were just built, without even a single stain.
The sunlight reflected the metallic luster, making the door look a bit cold.
The three of them stepped forward. Xu Xin hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to reach out and try to push the door open, he heard Zhao Xiaochuan whispering from the side: "Wait, Brother Xin. I'll do it."
Xu Xin nodded.
Zhao Xiaochuan's ability is just right. Even if he touches something, he will not be noticed at all.
He walked to the iron door, took a deep breath, and then pushed towards the closed door.
In fact, the three of them didn't think they could push the door open simply by pushing with their hands.
As a result, contrary to the expectations of the three of them, the door was slowly pushed open by him!
Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at each other in surprise, and then Xu Ying hurriedly whispered: "Just push a gap! Don't push too far! If there is someone inside..."
"Hey...!"
Before Xu Ying could finish her words, Coco suddenly screamed and stared straight at the gap.
"Hey!"
Then it jumped out of Xu Xin's arms unexpectedly, and then got directly into the gap opened by Zhao Xiaochuan!
"this……!"
The three of them were shocked.
"It's over, it's over, why did Keke run away by himself! He will be discovered!" Zhao Xiaochuan said anxiously, and then used his hands to open the door a lot, enough for the three of them to get in through the gap.
"..." Xu Xin looked at this gap and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"I think we can relax. Since Coco dares to get in, it means there is no danger inside, and... maybe there is really something good. Hey...!"
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Xu Ying slipped through the gap.
"Oh, wait for me!" Zhao Xiaochuan also got in.
Xu Xin shook his head and looked at the door.
With Xu Ying here, she was not afraid that the door would suddenly close and lock them all in.
He followed suit and got in.
"hiss--"
As soon as he entered it, before he had time to look at what was inside, he heard Zhao Xiaochuan take a breath and then cover his mouth.
After Xu Xin saw the things around him clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.
This is indeed a factory.
In the factory, there are various automated machine tools.
These machine tools are lying here quietly, making no sound and not operating.
But that wasn't what frightened Xu Xin.
I saw rows of... gun muzzles hanging on the wall of this factory!
This appears to be the muzzle of a laser gun.
Among them, the muzzles of some of the guns were facing the door they came in from!
Being pointed directly at the muzzles of these black holes caused cold sweat to appear on Xu Xin's forehead.
Here they really see what they want, but these things are facing them!
Or a laser gun!
The difficulty of evading this thing against them is hellish!
Who can travel faster than the speed of light?
"Don't panic, Brother Xin." Zhao Xiaochuan whispered, "We are just stones. No, we are just air. They can't shoot randomly into the air!"
As a holder of abilities, Zhao Xiaochuan is more confident than Xu Xin.
Xu Xin nodded and said nothing.
If you don't speak unless necessary, nothing will happen.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaochuan has the ability, otherwise they would have been shot by these machine guns as soon as they came in.
By the way, why was it okay when Coco got in just now?
Is it because its goal is too small?
At this time, Xu Ying had already reached a very inner position, and Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan also hurriedly followed.
"Keke, what exactly did you find?" Xu Ying whispered.
"Ugh...!" Keke also yelled softly, turned his little head and glanced behind him. He saw Xu Xin and two people following him, and then he continued to run forward.
It leads the way by turning left and right among these machine tools.
Xu Xin looked at the surrounding machine tools.
"Is this... an assembly line for drones?" Xu Xin asked in her mind, "Is this an industrial production line for alien invaders? It's similar to humans..."
Why does it feel like the assembly line of human technology...?
Ahead, Xu Ying and Coco had stopped.
Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan also quickened their pace and walked over quickly.
"This is……"
A... metal stand?
Xu Xin looked around. The location where they are now should be the center of the factory.
But at this location, there is a...stand embedded in the metal floor?
There was a hemispherical metal cover on the counter, just like the kind of cover that covers the steaming delicacies just served in high-end restaurants, and there was something underneath.
This metal cover seems to be telling them, there are good things inside, please open it quickly...
"Don't."
Thinking of this, Xu Xin put her hand on Zhao Xiaochuan's already stretched out hand.
Why does this look like a trap?
"Hey!" Coco climbed into Xu Xin's arms along Xu Xin's legs, got into the cloak, and then waved her little paw, "Hey!"
It was telling Xu Xin that there was no danger, just open it.
……Yeah.
Right. Under normal circumstances, would someone like them be able to sneak into the center of this factory surrounded by black holes and muzzles?
Who would set a trap in the center of a factory? It should be set at the door.
It seems that he is overthinking.
"Let me do it."
Just when he was about to reach out and pull it open, Xu Ying beat him to it and grabbed the handle above the cover.
"I come."
She tried to open the cover slightly.
"This is……!"
Dazzling scarlet light leaked from this gap, and the light leaked from just one gap illuminated the entire factory!
At this moment, the sound of mechanical operation came from all directions.
"No!" Xu Ying grabbed the arms of the two people around her and wanted to teleport directly.
"No, wait a minute." Xu Xin stopped him.
Coco's calm reaction in his arms made him feel that there was no danger around him.
If there was any danger, this little guy would have jumped up and screamed "Yum hoo hoo".
He looked around first.
Because of Xu Ying's actions just now, the cover was put back on the red light, and the surroundings returned to normal again.
The sound of the surrounding machinery gradually weakened, and then slowly stopped.
"Why did these machines move just now?" Zhao Xiaochuan calmed down with some fear and turned to look at the metal cover, "What's down here..."
"...Could this be the switch of these assembly line machine tools?" Xu Ying said to herself, then grabbed the handle on the cover again and slowly opened it.
The dazzling red light shot out from the gap in the cover again.
The sound of mechanical operation sounded again.
The three of them looked around, and sure enough, the surrounding machine tools illuminated by red light began to operate automatically.
As Xu Ying gradually opened it completely, the three of them also covered their eyes with their hands.
So dazzling!
Could this thing be...!
Xu Xin took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, and then she could barely look directly at the source of the red light.
This is a scarlet crystal about the size of a walnut embedded in the center of the table.
This dazzling light is completely released by this red crystal.
"Such a small piece...can it have such terrifying light intensity?" Xu Xin murmured to himself.
The surrounding area has been completely illuminated scarlet by this small piece of crystal.
Moreover, because this factory is made of extremely smooth metal, these red lights shine on the ceiling, floor, and walls, reflecting almost without damage.
As a result, the entire single-story factory, which covers a huge area, is illuminated by the light of this red crystal.
And this factory has also become noisy from the incomparable tranquility when Xu Xin and the others first entered.
The machine tools began to work automatically, the searchlights on the ceiling of the factory were turned on, scanning the surroundings, and the laser guns on the walls... even started to wander around!
These laser guns were like bugs crawling on the wall, swimming on the wall!
The entire factory is like a living creature, and this small scarlet crystal stone is like its heart. When the heart beats, the factory comes alive.
"...You have to put on the cloak of the Invisible!" Zhao Xiaochuan felt for the first time that his abilities were a little unsafe, "If we are discovered, we may be shot directly into a sieve, and we will not even have time to run. run……"
Indeed.
The central location where they are now is the focus of many wandering laser guns.
If this is discovered, I am afraid that it will be instantly vaporized by the laser gun...
"嘘! 嘘嘤!" Coco's little head popped up in Xu Xin's arms. One of its little paws covered the eyes that were stung by the red light, and the other pointed at the red crystal, "嘤!"
Its meaning is obvious, let them take away this small piece of red crystal.
"Can this thing... be taken away?" Xu Ying also understood what Coco meant, "Is it embedded in it?"
"Let me try." Zhao Xiaochuan stretched out his hand to touch the red crystal, but retracted his hand the moment he touched it, "Hold the grass! It's so hot!"
It was really hot, and his fingertips were even blistered.
"Your hand..." Xu Xin looked at his hand in surprise.
Only a few small red lines began to wrap around from the fingertips where he touched the crystal to the entire fingers, and then climbed up the back of his palms.
"Oh my God! What is this!" Zhao Xiaochuan lowered his voice and exclaimed, "I, I, I... I am going to mutate?!"
"Don't worry." Xu Ying glanced at his hand, "You have been injected with genetic medicine. It is impossible for you to mutate because of this."
"Is...is that so...?"
Xu Ying was right. The red lines on Zhao Xiaochuan's hands just covered his hands and stopped before they could spread to his arms.
"This hand... is so hot!" Zhao Xiaochuan's bloody hand clenched into a fist.
Then, the red lines that were already covering his hands gradually faded away, and after a few seconds, his hands returned to their original appearance.
"It's amazing, I actually recovered!" Zhao Xiaochuan said in surprise, then looked at the crystal with a headache, "This thing is untouchable, I almost felt like I was turning into a beast just now..."
"This is the source of life for the alien invaders..." Xu Ying touched her smooth chin, "If we can have a few pieces of this kind of thing, although it is of no use to us, it will be useful for sneaking into the base of the alien invaders. But it’s very useful.”
Xu Xin also understood what Xu Ying meant.
This thing is simply an alien invader trap.
And, there are definitely some neat uses.
"How can I get it off..." Xu Xin thought, and then her eyes moved, "Can Wen Xi do it?"
Wen Xi's ability is mining, and this red crystal is also a kind of mine.
Maybe the tool she made can detach the red crystal from the platform?
"feasible."
Xu Xin and the other three looked at each other and nodded.
"...Wen Xi should have put on the cloak of the Invisible a long time ago, right?"
Xu Xin was slightly worried, then shook his head. It is impossible for Wen Xi to have problems in this regard.
He stopped wasting time and turned the bracelet.
Immediately, Li Wenxi appeared in front of the three people.
She was sitting on the ground hugging her knees. As soon as she came out, she was stung by the red light and covered her eyes. She exclaimed: "Ah..."
But the sound didn't quite come out, so she covered her mouth with her other hand.
Xu Xin pulled her up from the ground and whispered: "You can talk, don't worry."
"This...is like this. Where is this place?"
She squinted at the red crystal and immediately moved away.
too bright!
"Is such that."
The three explained the current situation to her.
"I understand. I'll try."
Li Wenxi didn't say any more, but directly took out a small pickaxe.
She stuck the pickaxe head on the edge of the red crystal and platform inlay, and then pried hard.
"Click!"
"Click..."
The red crystal was easily pried out of the groove on the platform and rolled to the ground.
For a moment, red lights flashed throughout the factory.
