Chapter 130: Infiltrate! Sneak Into!

The exit below the mobile city dropped three small submarines in a row before it began to slowly close. Due to the distance, we were not able to reach the vicinity in time before it closed. However, such large exits usually have small submarines in the nearby area. It's like there is a small door on the main door of many units. Usually the main door is not open, and only the small door is used for entry and exit.

Although this mobile city has an obvious Arabic style, it is still a man-made object anyway, so it is inevitable that some customary designs will be retained, and this small door is one of them. The gate was completely closed when we arrived near it, but we quickly found the small entrance.

This is a small entrance such as an inspection channel. The outer hatch is a circular cover with a diameter of more than one meter. It can be controlled by the simplest rotating handle and can be used both inside and outside.

I waved to Zhenhong, then pointed at the thing, then took out the weapon and put it in a defensive posture. Zhenhong knew it and held the handle, while the others were ready to fight.

Although this kind of gate is very difficult to rotate underwater due to pressure issues, even if the thing cannot rotate at all under the power of Zhenhong, Zhenhong can directly unscrew it. I turned the handle very easily, and the pressure on the door quickly released. Soon I lost the pressure and was pulled open by Zhenhong. The moment the door opened, I was the first to get in. But the situation inside was not dangerous. This is just a maintenance channel, and there is usually no one there, so there are no guards inside. but. I still urge everyone to enter the small drainage room in this door as soon as possible. After all, this is part of their city. We cannot guarantee whether this thing has a similar control system to the Essinger Mobile Fortress. If it is Essinger Mobile Fortress, if any closed door is opened, the city tree will immediately discover and track the target. If the detection shows that it is not one of our own, guards throughout the city will immediately know that we have been invaded.

Of course, the city tree in our guild is a very rare and special existence, so generally speaking, other guilds may not be able to obtain such a control system. But it does not rule out the possibility that other guilds have some special control capabilities. So, we need to speed up from the moment we open that door. Because the other party probably already knows that someone is coming.

Because this maintenance channel is not the main channel. Therefore, only six people could squeeze into the drainage compartment behind the door. There were too many people here, so we had no choice but to divide into two groups.

Masa Matsumoto, Ichiro Tsunoda, Christina, and I entered the first batch of gold coins, and the others got the second batch. After closing the drainage chamber, there is a manual switch on the wall, but it is not the kind that will automatically drain when pressed. This thing is not that advanced. In fact, this drainage device is a crank handle. It requires constant rotation to drain the water out of the room bit by bit. Normally, this drainage method requires one person to shake it for more than ten minutes to drain all the water out of the room. But we didn’t have that much time to wait, so I just took Brigitte out and asked her to help.

Brigitte, like Everett, is a construct creature, which is a robot-like structure. And unlike ordinary man-made constructs, Everett and Brigitte are both very high-end constructs that look similar to the style of the divine units in the famous science fiction game "StarCraft". The whole body is covered with a large number of runes and crystals, and the structure looks very different from human creations. However, although the shape of the robot is different from that of the robot built by humans, the characteristics of the robot are the same, for example-the wrist can rotate infinitely.

If you let someone shake the handle, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to go any faster. After all, people are not particularly fast in the first place. But it would be less troublesome to let the mechanical body come. Brigitte reached out and pinched the center of the crank instead of the handle, and then her wrist began to rotate. Because her wrist can rotate 360 ​​degrees freely, she doesn't need to let go at all, and she can continue to accelerate. As her wrist rotated faster and faster, the handle of the crank also rotated, until it almost became a blur and could not be seen clearly at all.

The benefit of this ultra-high speed is the ultra-high drainage speed. The water in the room is rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it is completely drained in less than ten seconds. The speed is astonishingly fast.

The floor below this room has a mesh design. There is actually a distance below the floor, and there is something similar to the float used in the toilet tank. The structure of this thing is very simple, it is just a lever and a rubber ball. When there is water in the environment, the buoyancy force will hold up the rubber ball and drive the lever to pry the latch on the other end to lock the hatch. That is to say, before the water in the room is pumped to the appropriate position, the relationship between the drainage tank and the internal space of the hull The connection hatch cannot be opened at all.

When we gradually drain the water, the water level continues to drop after it is lower than the floor. The floating ball under the floor begins to sink due to its own weight because it loses its buoyancy. The result is naturally that the latch on the other side will be removed. Pulled it out so the door could open.

This design is actually very simple. Ordinary people can complete it with just a few simple tools, and there is not much technical content at all. Therefore, some things that look high-tech are actually far less complicated than imagined. When people who don't know hear that the door can be automatically controlled to open based on whether there is water in the room, they may immediately think of electronic induction or intelligent control, but they actually use a float and a spring latch. Most of the technologies used by the Russians in this city are similar, and extremely complex projects have been completed in a very simple way.

This design style is a characteristic of the Russians, and in addition to reducing the technical difficulty, this feature also brings two benefits. One is that it is simple to manufacture and repair, and the other is that it is durable and has a low failure rate.

The simpler the thing, the lower the failure rate. In theory, the hammer used at home and the mechanical forging hammer in the factory are both hammers, but the hammer at home will not malfunction. Mechanical forging hammers often have problems. This is the problem of failure probability of complex items. Although our guild's Essinger Mobile Fortress is much more advanced in technology than the Russian underwater city, we have to admit that the Russians completely beat us in terms of failure rate. Back then, Essinger Mobile Fortress had happened two or three times because the main power pipeline was hit, causing the entire city to lose power and fall directly to the ground. Fortunately, we anticipated this situation in advance and installed an emergency engine. Otherwise, Essinger Mobile Fortress The fortress had long since fallen to pieces.

After we drained the water, we successfully drilled into the internal passage, and Brigitte was left in that room by me to help Zhenhong and the others come in.

While Zhenhong and the others were entering the hatch, Matsumoto Masahiro and I had already launched a defense in the room here. The inside of this hatch is not a large and spacious room, but a small passage, only about three or four meters long. There are many tools and other things placed on both sides of this passage. It feels like an inspection cabin. There is a gate at the end of the passage. It may be used to prevent water leakage in the hatch here. But now this hatch is open, and it probably has the same design as the inverted door just now. As long as water enters the room here, the punched ground will let the water flow into the sink under the ground first. Once water enters the tank, the float ball will rise. It will trigger the switch and lower the gate to seal this side. This is basically an automatic waterproof door.

Matsumoto Masako and I walked to the end of the passage over there, leaning against the walls on both sides of the passage. He stretched his head and looked at the situation outside.

The outside of the passage we entered is a horizontal passage, but the length is not too long. It ends about seven or eight meters to the left of the transverse passage, and there is a hatch over there. It's just that it's closed now, so I don't know what's going on on the other side. The passage on the right is slightly longer, maybe more than ten meters, and has a slight curvature. There is also a door at the end of Tongdao on the right, and there are two doors, one at the bottom of the passage and the other on the side wall.

In addition to these three doors, there is actually a small door just in front of the passage we are in, but this door is different from the other three. Although the other three doors are different in shape, they are all relatively large doors. Only this door is smaller and can only allow one person to pass through.

All the doors in the passage are closed at this time, so we don't have to worry about anyone discovering us. I asked Masamoto Matsumoto to continue to stay here, and I returned to the bottom of the channel. The gold coins and the others were still draining water, and the obvious sound of mechanical rotation could be heard. But soon the revolving door in front of us suddenly heard a creaking sound, and the gate was opened directly.

Zhenhong came out first, glanced at me and asked me how I was doing. I replied directly: "This is a closed compartment, probably a secondary waterproof compartment, and there are no guards."

Zhen Hong only dared to speak when he heard that there were no guards. "Now that we are in, how are we going to find the locations of those research institutions?"

"The more reliable method is to catch the tongue, but the problem is that players cannot touch it, and even if they are caught, they will not tell others. However, NPCs are not necessarily safe. As long as they disappear for a little longer, they will definitely arouse others' suspicion. Pay attention, so once we grab our tongue, that means we're about to be exposed," Christina said.

August Xun, who had just come out of the hatch, said: "I think we should still scratch our tongues. The alarm may have been triggered when we opened the hatch, so if there is one more possibility, the risk factor has not changed much. In addition, even if we don’t grab our tongues and run around here, we will be discovered sooner or later, so the risk is always there. Grabbing our tongues can quickly determine the target location, otherwise it will take longer, and our chances of exposure will only be Bigger.”

Masamoto Matsumoto stood at the entrance of the passage and turned around and said: "President Ziri, I think what August Xun said is very reasonable. We should catch our tongues."

I thought about it and felt that this was the only more reliable method. We didn't know the existence of this underwater city in advance, so it was naturally impossible to collect information here in advance. It would be fine if the area of ​​the city under the tree is not large, but this thing is obviously not small in size, and the internal space of this man-made object will definitely not be flat like an ordinary city, but should be divided internally like a ship. Layer by layer, this virtually increases the number of cabins. We have to find the target cabin among so many cabins, although it cannot be said to be like finding a needle in a haystack. But relying solely on blind guesses is not an option. Just like August Xun said, there is a possibility of being discovered wandering around here, so it doesn't matter whether you catch your tongue or not. Of course, if we could find the command room, that would be a different matter.

"Then as August Xunde suggested, let's grab a tongue and ask." I said, turned around and walked towards the horizontal passage over there, and then asked: "Which one do you think is more reliable?"

Matsumoto Masaga and August Kaoru both shook their heads, because they knew nothing about the structural problems of such large equipment. Jin Coin thought for a moment and said, "I suggest going left."

Judging from the position and direction we entered here before, the left hand direction of the passage is probably pointing to the tail of this huge beetle-shaped city. Because the hatch we just entered is probably on the beetle's chest, which is the connection point between the head and abdomen. So our left and right sides should be pointing to the head and tail respectively.

After Jin Coin finished speaking, he consciously explained: "This kind of large equipment. The head should be the warhead. After all, if a battle occurs, the head will probably be directed at the enemy, so it is impossible to put fragile research facilities on the head. Compare The reliable setting is that the head is all a combat compartment. It is used to install weapons and small vehicles. The chest in the middle is probably the location of mechanical components such as power systems. What we see now also proves this .The tail of the city is the largest area, and it is relatively safe, so the living area and experimental facilities are most suitable here. However, I think it is unlikely that such a large tail will all be an experimental area. So most of what we are looking for is in The middle part of the stern. The outer layer may also have things like defense weapons and berths for small boats.”

The analysis of gold coins can be said to be quite accurate, so we accepted it without any objection. First, they carefully sealed the entrance we entered, and then moved together to the hatch entrance at the bottom of the left passage.

We listened through the door first and found that it seemed to be quite noisy on the other side of the hatch, which meant that the noise from our side probably wouldn't attract the attention of those over there. Since I wasn't afraid of the sound alarming those over there, I discussed it directly with Masamoto Matsumoto and the others here. Everyone still thought it was better not to open the door directly, so I finally released a few ghost bugs, and then used them to blur myself. Its characteristics allow it to get through the door.

Ghost Insect Door After passing through the door, I immediately saw the situation behind the door from the shared vision. Quite surprisingly, behind the door is not a room but an elevator.

"Is this an elevator?" Masamoto Matsumoto asked in surprise.

I nodded and said: "It's not surprising. We entered from below the city, so this place is the lowest cabin. Isn't it surprising that there is an elevator passage inside?"

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and asked, "What's the situation above?"

"My ghost bug is still moving, please wait a moment."

The ghost bug climbed all the way up the wall of the elevator, then passed through the ceiling and climbed along the Range Rover above the elevator to the upper level of the elevator shaft. There is a gate at this upper level, which is the elevator door. The ghost bug carefully blurred itself and passed through the door, and then I saw the situation outside the elevator.

The location of this floor is about two meters above where we are. The distance is not large, but the situation inside is different from ours. The noise inside that floor was very terrifying, and through the eyes of the ghost bug, I could see a row of huge machines in the room working back and forth. However, because part of this thing extends into other rooms, only part of the structure can be seen, and there is no way to guess what this thing is for. In addition, in addition to this machine, this room also has a large number of pipes and valves. It looks like a steam engine during the Industrial Revolution. It is full of steel parts and steam will be sprayed out from time to time. It looks very backward. look like.

I have noticed before that the Russians’ technical route is different from ours, and now I completely understand it. The technical route adopted by our Frost Rose Alliance is actually a technology that conforms to the content of the game after accepting various settings in the game. Its main body is the use of magic and energy, so the technical equipment of our guild often It doesn't look like an industrial product on Earth. After all, you won't see large chunks of gemstones on machines in factories. But our guild's equipment will have it, because our equipment uses a lot of magic institutions. These things are based on magic arrays. If there are no magic gems as energy nodes. It's difficult to operate. Therefore, the equipment in our guild looks shiny. However, the Russians are not actually studying these magical technologies in the game. Of course, it does not mean that they do not use magic at all. It just means that they do not use magic as their main direction of attack, but use the machinery they use in reality. All technologies have been simplified and copied into the game.

Although the equipment in front of me is not yet certain to be a steam engine, I can actually be roughly sure that this thing is probably a magic version of a steam engine. Although it uses a magic circle instead of coal, its working principle is still to boil water to generate steam and push the piston to work. so. Even if it uses magic to heat it, this thing is still a steam engine to put it bluntly. This is completely different from the technology of our guild. The magic equipment we use directly uses magic energy to generate kinetic energy, and does not require water vapor as a conversion medium.

I can't directly draw a conclusion as to which of the two designs is better. On the surface, of course, our technology is better. But think about it carefully. In fact, this kind of steam engine also has its own advantages. I can only say that each has its own strengths. The equipment of our guild is slightly stronger.

After observing the equipment in this room, I let the ghost bugs disperse and crawl directly to several entrances and exits of this room. The structure of this room is quite strange. It feels like it is separated from the middle of a long corridor. There are diamond-shaped arches on the left and right sides of the passage, and there are watertight gates on the arches. But now they are all turned on, so you can see from the door that there are long passages in front and behind, all of which are filled with such equipment working one above the other. As for the people who take care of these equipment... There are indeed, but the number of people Very few, and none around here.

Although I was sure that there was nothing dangerous on the upper floor, I did not take Matsumoto Masaru and the others up immediately. Instead, I let the ghost bug continue to go up, and then went to explore the situation on the floor above the elevator. This elevator does not only have two floors. In addition to the floor we are on and the floor where the mechanical equipment above is, there are two floors above. The ghost bug quickly reached the entrance to the upper level and then got out.

The structure of this floor is similar to the one below, but there are no running machines here, only a lot of pipes and some instruments, and the height of this floor is not as exaggerated as the floor below. The floor just below is more than seven meters high because of the large size of the machinery and equipment, while the height of this floor is only two meters. Part of the area is blocked by pipes and other things, so the actual height is less than two meters. I am very tall. People even have to lower their heads to avoid bumping into things.

Compared with the floor below, although this floor does not have much equipment, it does have a lot of people. There are many workers-looking guys wearing greasy work clothes walking back and forth on this floor, and they need to stop from time to time. Take a look at the gauges next to it. Sometimes I look at the instrument and then leave. Sometimes after checking the instrument, I turn the valve next to it according to the numbers on it. It doesn't seem very busy, but I always need to adjust it from time to time, and I can't really relax.

It's obvious that the Russians' equipment is not highly automated. Although the technical flaws of our guild's magic equipment are also obvious, at least our things don't need to be controlled by so many people. Even the large anti-gravity engine array on Essinger Mobile Fortress is only equipped with three special magicians and a dozen workers. It is nothing like here. I saw at least three in this moment. There are more than a dozen staff members.

Going up from this floor is the last floor that the elevator reaches. There is a small room directly after coming out of this floor. There is a door on the side of the room, but like the one below, the gate is open. From this door is a traffic network similar to an undersea tunnel. Because this place itself is inside the mobile city, the road is actually completely closed, just like a tunnel, and the elevator we found is on the side of the tunnel, which feels a bit like a maintenance channel.

Although the passage outside the elevator room is said to be similar to a tunnel, there are actually some differences. First of all, it is not entirely a driveway, but mostly a sidewalk. There are only two lanes in the middle, one front and one back, for limited traffic. Moreover, the few cars I saw were all animal-drawn, and there was no trace of them at all. The feeling of a modern vehicle is just a modified version of the World of Warcraft version of a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-cart.

However, although the vehicles on the ground are ordinary, there are also some high-tech things in this place. In fact, everyone should have heard of this kind of thing, because it is an elevated tram.

In fact, this tunnel is three-dimensional. In addition to people and vehicles on the ground, there are several rail tracks on the top of the passage. A special vehicle will be hung under the rails like a cable car and move, and these things are much faster than ground vehicles. . However, although these upside-down cable car-like things are very fast, they have no way to turn due to track problems and can only move along specific tracks. In other words, if these vehicles are not similar to subways or buses, then they are special buses used by certain departments and can only go back and forth between two specific points. It cannot be moved at will.

Although there are a lot of people coming and going in the passage above. But no one was specifically guarding the entrance and exit. Those people obviously had their own business. This situation obviously shows that we have not been discovered yet. It seems that the Russians do not have as developed a city management system as we do, even if we open the external hatch. They don't know either. certainly. This could only be a small entrance like the one we entered through the access door. If the main door is open, there is no way that no one will know about it.

Although it can be said that there is no danger in the upper floors, but which floor to go from is obviously a problem.

After I told Masamoto Matsumoto and others about what I saw, everyone was a little hesitant. Ichiro Tsunoda frowned and said: "The top passage is obviously the most convenient for transportation. You can reach wherever you want to go, but there are many people there. There is actually not much difference between the two floors in the middle. There are few people and they are all mechanical equipment, but they can Wherever you arrive, there is no trace.”

"How about we grab the tongue and ask first?" Blazing Dragon Fairy asked.

Ichiro Tsunoda nodded and said, "This is a good idea."

Christina followed: "Then which level should we catch from?"

"Of course we'll arrest them from the nearest one." Ichiro Tsunoda said, "There are fewer people here, so it's easier to arrest them."

"No." Jin Coin said, "It's just because there are few people that we can't move. There are too few people here, and they must all know each other. If one person is missing suddenly, others will notice it immediately. Unless we arrest all those people, it will be very difficult. It’s hard not to expose our whereabouts.”

"Then just capture them all. There aren't many of them anyway."

"Impossible." This time it was August Kaoru who interrupted Tsunoda Ichiro. "The arrangement of manpower there by the other party shows that these equipments need to be supervised at all times, otherwise there will be no constant patrols. It is not a big deal if we arrest one or two people, and the remaining people can also complete the work, but if we take these If everyone is arrested and the equipment is left unattended, problems will soon arise.”

"That's true!" Ichiro Tsunoda sighed.

"I think it's better to catch them from the top road?" Chihuo Longji said: "Although there are a little more people on the road above, the people over there are from various areas of the city and don't know each other, even if there are fewer One or two, no one will find them for a while. And even if these people have some kind of job, and later attract the attention of others because of their disappearance, the city is so big, they don’t know where the people disappeared, and they don’t want to find us. Easy. Therefore, I think it is better to arrest people from above. As long as they are not seen during the arrest, there will be no problem in a short time. As long as we know the exact target location, wait until they notice this By the time someone goes missing, we might all be there.”

"It makes sense. Then we'll arrest people from the top."

Although the flow of people in the uppermost area is greater than that of the lower area, because most of these people do not know each other, it is extremely easy to arrest people. I put a few ghost bugs on the wall on the side of the passage to act as my eyes, and then looked at the passers-by. Soon we had three targets.

These three people are obviously NPCs, and one of them who is walking in front is holding a book in his hand and is flipping through it, seemingly looking at it very seriously, while the other two people have been talking and are not paying attention to the surroundings. Of course, the biggest reason why they were chosen as targets was that the three people were walking close to the wall, and the people behind them were far away and would not notice the disappearance of the three people.

Relying on the ghost bug positioning, we can accurately know the time when the three people passed by the door of our elevator room. Then, the prepared sickle was waiting with a mouthful of spider silk slime. When it received my signal, the spider was immediately removed. The silk spurted out.

The speed of spider-like creatures is very fast, almost as fast as lightning. When the three people passed by the elevator, they didn't expect that someone would attack them, so they were sprayed with spider silk slime without any resistance. Then the spider silk was quickly pulled back, and the three people were also in the blink of an eye. He was dragged in. The whole process took less than a tenth of a second. The person with the fastest reaction had just time to open his mouth and not even had time to make a sound.

After the three people were dragged in, they were knocked unconscious by Matsumoto Masaga, me, and Zhenhong one by one, and then we quickly returned along the elevator shaft to the bottom passage where we first arrived.

The three people were tied up with spider silk again, and after confirming that they were absolutely unable to move, Sickle used the spider silk to hang the three of them on the top of the passage, and used the spider silk to pull the horizontal stability line. In this way, they are equivalent to hanging in mid-air. No amount of strength is needed, and even if they want to shake, it is useless, because the horizontal spider silk will play a stabilizing role, and they cannot shake their bodies that have been tied up like silkworm chrysalises.

We woke the three men immediately after we secured them. But these three guys are obviously not combatants. Not only did the clothes on his body look like they were for civilian use. And the most important thing is that these people can't feel the slightest fluctuation of magic power on their bodies, not even much muscle. In other words, these people are not magic practitioners, nor are they the type to use physical strength. It can only be a relatively leisurely life and occupation.

After the three people woke up, they seemed to be shouting, but soon found that their mouths were glued and they could only make whining sounds. Considering that there was a row of huge machines roaring overhead, even dog ears couldn't hear the sound.

Soon the three guys realized that their shouting was in vain, so they finally quieted down, because they had already tried it, and besides shouting, struggling was also useless. The spider silk on the body is not very hard, but the toughness is amazing. If it cannot be pulled apart, even a warrior can only be hung there obediently, not to mention the bodies of the three of them who are powerless.

"It seems that you have realized your situation." Looking at the three people who stopped struggling, I walked over and said, "But don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I don't mind giving you a way to survive."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" One of them hummed as if he was about to say something.

I signaled, and Ichiro Tsunoda immediately grasped the katana at his waist, drew the sword and slashed with lightning speed, and then inserted the sword back with lightning speed. His movements could not be seen at all during the whole process. The knife seemed to be pulled out a little bit, and then inserted back in again. However, the spider silk on the mouth of the guy opposite was suddenly cut open.

I said calmly: "You have already seen the speed at which he draws the knife, so if you can raise it so that the speed at which you shout can exceed the speed at which he cuts your neck, you can give it a try."

"Don't worry, we won't resist." The guy whose mouth was freed said wisely, and the remaining two people nodded desperately to show that they would obey us.

"Very good, now I'll ask the question, and you can say whatever I ask." I said with a wink, and True Red and Gold Coin immediately went up and freed the other two people's mouths. "He will answer now. You two should not talk normally. If you feel that what he said is incomplete or has errors or omissions, you can add to it, but you are not allowed to interrupt before he finishes speaking. Do you understand?"

The three of them nodded together to express their understanding.

I smiled and said: "Yes, your attitude is very good. After I finish asking questions, I will knock you out and still stay here. When you wake up, you can leave on your own. We just want to get something this time." , will not destroy this place, so you can rest assured that your lives will not be threatened."

The first point of threatening others is not to make them feel that they are hopeless. If we say that we want to destroy this underwater city, for NPCs like them who have no fighting ability, it is basically a death sentence, so we cannot let them think that they are dead. Only they still retain the desire to survive. Only then can they be threatened and controlled by us.

"If you have any questions, just ask, and we will tell you everything we know."

"Very well. Then, first tell me your names and identities. Come one by one."

The three people immediately began to take turns introducing themselves, and then we knew that this sneak attack was really lucky, and we actually caught three researchers directly. All three are researchers in the mechanical transmission department and also part-time mechanics. And the reason why they appear here is actually related to those small submarines we saw before.

In fact, there were not three but four submarines that were to be dispatched. However, because the propeller of one of the small submarines was stuck for some reason, they were not able to sail on time. The three of them had just been called to inspect the submarine. After confirming the problem, they left it to the technicians to deal with. We kidnapped the three of them on their way back to the research institute.

This situation can be said to be very good for us, because they were invited to solve the problem of the submarine here, so the research institute does not know how long they will be out, but at the submarine berth, they have completed their task and left. . The people over there would definitely not go to the institute to confirm whether the three of them had gone back. Therefore, as long as it doesn't take too long, no one will realize that the three of them are missing. The shipyard thought they had gone back, while the research institute thought they were still repairing the ship. This couldn't be a better situation.

Except that the three of them are in really good shape right now. Their status is not bad either. Because I am a researcher myself. Therefore, they know the location of the institute very clearly, and they can also clearly tell the specific location of each department in the institute and the general guard situation. If you ask ordinary people about these things, you really can't figure them out. After all, the main responsibility of this underwater city is to serve as a research base, so the research institute must be a place with the highest security level. Ordinary NPCs cannot enter at all if they do not belong to the research institute. Only those who are researchers themselves are likely to know what is going on inside.

After hearing the identities of the three people, Ichiro Tsunoda kept saying that we were lucky enough to catch three such excellent tongues today. This is simply perfect. Moreover, what makes us very satisfied is that these three guys all belong to the extremely unscrupulous type. They surrendered directly without any harsh words from us, with no intention of resisting at all. Of course, beings like them are generally very hard-headed. After all, they are not combatants in the first place. It is normal for them to be timid.

"Since you are researchers, tell us where the institute is." I said and nodded to Christina. Christina directly stretched out her hand and used energy to form a transparent channel model in front of us. Just by looking at it, we can know that this is the channel we are in, the elevator shaft next to it, and the channel above.

After finishing these things, Christina immediately said: "You guys, let me simulate the passage and mark the passage from here to the experimental area."

The method used by Christina is like the police drawing a portrait of a criminal based on the witness's dictation when interviewing witnesses, except that Christina uses energy instead of a pen, and what she draws is not a portrait but a three-dimensional map.

Although the passage structure in this city is very complicated, it is not a maze after all, so a rough copy of the passage map was quickly completed. It can be seen from this that our location is not very far from there, but according to the route on this map, we may need to walk through many areas with many people.

"Is there no other way to go?" I asked.

"Yes, there is, but we don't know!" The guy who spoke said: "The one we pointed out just now is the main road. There is no reason for us to leave the easy road and go through those small passages instead?"

I have to say that what this guy said makes sense. There are no main roads, so who likes to wander through small passages? It's not like being on the ground, where you can take shortcuts by taking some paths. Although the maintenance passages in this place are also extending in all directions, the environment inside is harsh, with loud noise, high temperature, and a strange smell. In addition, some places are actually a bit dangerous, so normal people will definitely not go into those places.

"If we have to take the main road, the probability of our exposure will be too high!" Masamoto Matsumoto said worriedly.

"Is it okay to shuttle through the nearby passages according to the route they gave?" Yingyu Shenqing asked.

"Maybe, but we don't know the road. If we don't follow this route, we might pass by. Unless..." Christina said while turning her eyes to the three guys over there.

"Aren't you planning to take them on the road with you?" Zhenhong asked.

"So what?"

"No... they are ordinary people. If we take them with us, our chances of being exposed will be too great. And in this place, they can't help but scream every day. It's okay to say that when they get outside, there's no guarantee they won't resist and make noises. Warning!"

"Don't dare!" Upon hearing Zhenhong's words, the three spineless guys quickly said they don't dare, but we all know that they really don't dare when there is no chance, but as long as they find the opportunity and think it's okay, They will definitely shout and report the news. After all, they are Russians, not ours, so naturally they will not help us.

"How about trying hypnosis?" Jin Coin asked.

"Hey, this is a solution." Zhen Hong said.

"Which of you can?" Ichiro Tsunoda asked.

"Ling Hui." I snapped my fingers and summoned Ling. "Help hypnotize these three people."

Ling looked at the three guys and said, "They are just ordinary people, easy to control, but what do you want them to do? Do you need to retain your sense of self?"

"We need them to show us the way, so we may need some memory of that."

"In this case, you need to retain some consciousness." Ling said, turning directly to the three people and asking: "Will you help?"

The three guys immediately said in exactly the same speed: "Yes, we will help."

"Holy shit, is this hypnotic?" Ichiro Tsunoda asked in surprise.

Ling glanced back at Ichiro Tsunoda and said, "What else do you think? I am a goddess. To hypnotize a few ordinary people without any mental power, do I still need to recite a spell and then perform a great dance or something?"

Ichiro Tsunoda was choked and had nothing to say. He could only stare, while Gold Coin and True Red snickered on the side. I took Ling back and signaled to Zhenhong, who immediately went over and put the three people down. These three guys now look like walking zombies, their eyes are dull, but if you talk to them, they can answer fluently, but their voices are a bit abnormal, there is no tone, and they speak in a flat tone. However, as long as they can lead the way, nothing else matters. (To be continued...)
