Chapter 127 The Road Is Broken

In fact, what Masamoto Matsumoto and Bingbing entered was not a real research area, but a waste storage facility, which was equivalent to a garbage dump. Of course, the garbage here is a little bit special, so a specially modified room is used as a storage room. However, because we are actually searching for the technological achievements of the Russians, it is inevitable that we need to rummage through the cabinets and check all the places where we can put things. , so it is basically inevitable to trigger the lock switch in the garbage storage room. It's just that Masamoto Matsumoto and Bingbing were unlucky, and they happened to run into each other. In fact, this room would not be in such a mess if there was any other team. The key is that Matsumoto Masa needs to protect Bingbing, so his combat effectiveness cannot be used. If Bingbing is not here and Matsumoto Masa is alone, give him some time and he can handle it on his own without calling for reinforcements at all.

"It just so happens that everyone is gathered together, so don't move separately." I congratulated Matsumoto and the others and said, "Just now, Ichiro Tsunoda and I found their control room over there, and got the structural diagram here by the way. Next, just press Just search if you need to, there’s no need to run away separately.”

"Thank God." Blazing Dragon Fairy said: "I don't want to search room after room. I need to find things and worry about agencies or guards that may appear at any time. It is really too hard!"

"Yes, yes! Searching aimlessly without a target is really tiring!" Ying Yu Shen Hina also said.

Christina asked, "Where should we go now?"

"You don't need to go to the above-ground part, it's all office areas. The important things are underground." I pointed to one of the passages and said: "You can find the vertical passage not far from here. Go down there. It’s a real base.”

"What is a real base?" Masamoto Matsumoto keenly captured the key words in my words.

Ichiro Tsunoda explained to Masamoto Matsumoto: "In fact, the Russian research base is not here at all, but on the bottom of the sea. The location we are now is just equivalent to an entrance to the ground. At the bottom of the basement here is A conveyor channel from which you can go through the entire ice and then to the bottom of the sea, where the real base is."

"Then we can reach the research base by just going down the elevator over there?" August Xun asked.

I shook my head and said, "No, it's not that simple. First of all, I'm not sure if the passage is an elevator. I only know that there is a vertical passage connecting it to the seabed below, but I don't know what kind of device it is. And, if my guess is correct, they should have cut off this channel."

I was not asked to explain this time. Everyone knows what I mean. Since this castle on the ground is equivalent to the entrance. That naturally serves the same function as a doorman. Of course, if we come in with such a big fanfare, the other party can't just watch and do nothing. As long as the other party is not mentally retarded, he should think of cutting off the connection between the undersea laboratory and this castle.

In fact, this design of the Russians has something in common with our New World research base.

Our guild's New World research base is a rare ultra-high altitude floating island, which means it is difficult to enter directly from the outside. Because most flying creatures can't reach that height. The Russian player's undersea laboratory is in a similar situation. Although it is not in heaven. But the bottom of the Arctic Ocean is itself an extremely difficult location to reach.

Don't think that because our guild has Atlantis technology, we can run around underwater. This is a game world, not a real ocean. There are monsters everywhere under the sea here. And basically the weirder the location, the stronger the monster.

The bottom of the Arctic Ocean is in such a strange position, because not only is it located at the northernmost point of the earth, but the sea surface is also covered with ice layers tens of meters thick, which is much more exaggerated than the ice thickness of the Arctic Ocean in reality. More importantly, the depth of the Arctic Ocean in the game is much greater than in reality. In fact, not only the Arctic Ocean, but also the depth of all oceans in the game is greater than in reality, and there are many trenches and undersea mountains, which are far more complex than the real undersea terrain.

Precisely because the Arctic Ocean environment in the game is so special, there are also a lot of monsters in this place. Not only are they large in number, but their levels are also very exaggerated. It is very dangerous to move underwater in such a place, and you need to constantly deal with those deep-sea monsters.

These deep-sea monsters, coupled with the extreme cold and deep-sea environment, form a natural barrier that plays the same role as the height of our New World floating island, which is to prevent outsiders from entering its interior through abnormal means.

Of course, otherwise, if outsiders come in, you need to have a way to get in. The method we use for the New World Floating Island is to use a dedicated one-to-one teleportation array, combined with space shields and space anchors, to completely block the space of the New World Floating Island and surrounding areas. Only the dedicated teleportation array is allowed to enter, and others cannot force it. Teleport.

We still don’t know the method used by Russian players, but it should be similar to ours in some way to connect this castle made of ice with the research base under the sea, just like we use the teleportation array to connect Isinger Same as the New World Floating Island. Anyway, if most people want to go down, they have to go through this special passage. Of course, we here are not ordinary people. Even if we don’t use this passage, we may not be able to go down. But compared to going down by ourselves, of course we still prefer to use the existing passage. But this wish is probably unlikely to come true.

"Whether there is a connection there or not, let's go down and take a look and find out." Zhenhong said and walked towards the direction I just pointed out.

Seeing that Zhenhong had already walked over, we followed him. I don’t know why on the way, but I didn’t encounter any interceptors, and Ling actually sent me a message telling me that they had all returned to the training space. The portal we came from before had been lost, but the gun God's men ran into the mechanical knights, mechanical triceratops, and heavily armored machine dragons we had encountered before. The mechanical troops who were planning to chase us directly fought with the Gun God's men at the entrance.

This news made me think about why the mechanical knight didn't catch up and cause trouble with us. After all, although this castle is not big and the Mechanical Triceratops and the Heavy Armored Machine Dragon cannot enter, the Mechanical Knight can still move around freely. But now they are all attracted by the Gunslinger, which is convenient for us.

Without encountering any interception, he successfully arrived at the passage entrance marked on the structural map. This place has a wide downward slope, and anti-skid plates are laid on the ground, obviously to make it easier for materials and personnel to move down the mountain. Below this slope is a large space. It seems to be used as a transit warehouse, because there are a lot of messy things piled up here. Most of them are worthless things, but there are also some valuables and a small amount of research items. Something of value. certainly. After we passed, all these things went into our pockets.

The deepest part of this transit warehouse. That is to say, there is a very tall wall facing the wide passage that comes down, and behind the wall is the connecting room. But to get in we need to clear the gate in front of us first. This thing is not made of ice, but of serious armor steel, and its thickness is astonishing. I poked a hole in it with eternity and tried it. The thickness of this door is as high as eight meters. This is no longer the door. This is simply a huge metal ingot.

Consider the thickness of this door. We finally decided to cut a hole in the wall and forget it. Anyway, the wall is just ice. Although the ice here is very hard due to the temperature, we have Xiaofeng and Everett here. It's not too much trouble to melt the ice with them. Of course, this is the Arctic after all, so melting won’t be easy. When Xiao Fengrong penetrated the floor before, it was because the floor was not too thick, but the ice layer on the ground was more than ten meters thick, and the ice layer was very thick. When the ice layer becomes thicker, it will transfer heat to each other, making it more difficult to melt.

Although it was very difficult to drill holes in this kind of ice, after spending seven or eight minutes, we successfully bypassed the gate and drilled into the area behind the gate.

Because the ice itself has a certain degree of transparency, you can see the location of the gate with a small section of ice on the side using lighting as auxiliary lighting. When we exceed the range of the gate, we can see that the colors behind it are different. After all, the gate is metal and opaque, so the light reflected by the lighting technique is different. The blue part at the back should be the blank area, and the black part is the metal gate.

After confirming that we have drilled through the gate, we began to drill holes laterally in the direction of the gate. As long as we drill through the last bit of ice, we can enter the back room.

Everett has been put away by me, and Xiaofeng is the only one standing there with a hand stretched out towards the wall in front of her. In front of her palm, the ice is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the ice continues to melt, the channel we are in continues to advance. However, just when we thought we could enter the passage right away, a chirping sound suddenly came from the slowly melting ice in front of us, and the sound quickly became louder, and a large amount of energy instantly rose up in the passage. White steam.

"Huh?" Xiaofeng hummed unconsciously, and then put down his palm. At this time, the heat disappeared and water vapor no longer appeared in the channel, but we immediately discovered a very surprising situation. I saw a small hole on the ice in front of the channel, and this small hole was spraying water into the channel. In the past, Xiaofeng's high heat blocked the water and it was directly vaporized. But now after Xiaofeng removed the high temperature, the water flow immediately appeared, and with the emergence of the water flow, spider webs appeared on the ice in front. Same crack.

"Holy shit!" I just had time to say this before the ice in front exploded, and then a large amount of seawater poured in, but the water flow was not too fast, and the water pressure did not seem to be high. Sure enough, the water flow did not continue to rise after entering. It only submerged more than half of the channel and then stopped rising. However, we are extremely depressed now because this has become obvious. The Russians must have cut off the connection between the castle and the base below, and they did it so brilliantly that they actually flooded the entire room with water. At this rate, if we want to go down, there is only one way... to dive down by ourselves.

"What did these bastards do?" Ichiro Tsunoda said angrily.

Matsumoto Masaru comforted him: "Stop talking, if we do this it will only make us feel worse."

I also nodded and said: "If it were our base, I might plant a bomb here in advance. While tearing down the passage, I could also trick others."

"I now understand what happened with the Fulcrum City explosion." Ichiro Tsunoda said.

The big explosion of Fulcrum City that Ichiro Tsunoda mentioned was actually the first time we lost Fulcrum City. At that time, after we established Fulcrum City as a support point in Japan, the Japanese side has been working hard to remove this nail in Japan. Later, under the successive efforts of Japanese players, we did feel tremendous pressure, and even appeared at one time. Unable to defend the situation. Later, due to the intervention of the Japanese protoss, we finally lost control of Fulcrum City for the first time and evacuated. However, in order to prevent the Japanese players from taking advantage, we buried a large amount of explosives under the city before leaving. As a result, as soon as our people left, before the Japanese players could celebrate their successful occupation of Fulcrum City, they all took a plane and blew up into the sky together.

That big explosion wiped out tens of thousands of NPCs and players in Japan at once, and the economic losses were also quite staggering. Since then, Japan has always called the incident the "Fulcrum City Big Explosion."

I didn't answer Ichiro Tsunoda's complaint, but said to the others: "You all have the ability to dive? We will prepare to go down and have a look later. Who needs to make some preparations first?"

I actually know that no one here needs to prepare, but because Ichiro Tsunoda is present, I have to show that I don't know them well enough. After all, Ichiro Tsunoda doesn't know the relationship between Matsumoto Masaga and me.

After confirming that no one needed to prepare, I pulled the mask down, then jumped forward and dived directly into the water.

The hole that was just destroyed by the water flow was not actually due to the water pressure, but because only a thin layer was left after it had been melted by Xiaofeng, so it could not withstand the water pressure and was crushed to pieces. In fact, the room here was not completely submerged at all, and the water was only about one and a half meters deep. However, there was a large circular hole with a diameter of more than twenty meters in the center of the room. However, because of the black paint below It's painted, so it looks like the gate to hell, which is quite eye-catching.

"This should be the original connection channel." I said through the communicator in the helmet.

"Are there many monsters down here?" Ichiro Tsunoda asked.

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhenhong replied, and then asked me: "Are we going to go down directly like this?"

"Wait a minute, I'll give you something good." (To be continued...)
