Chapter 13 Pyramid Architecture

"Captain Pine, what do you think?"

A captain, a company commander in the Star Army.

The four teams that went out to explore this time all came from his company.

Pine looked up at the pyramid not far away, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He replied: "Regent, exploring the remains of alien civilization is an extremely dangerous thing. If there is any accident, we will not be able to guarantee your safety. Please wait outside and we will go in to explore the way first."

"It has been more than three million years. Do you think there are still living things inside?"

Li Meng also wanted to stay outside to complete his mission safely.

But he couldn't, "Zero" would not allow him to do so.

Of course, Li Meng did not reject Pine's proposal.

Before Pine answered, Li Meng said again: "Okay, you go ahead and I'll follow behind."

Hearing this, Pine was speechless.

Whether they go ahead or behind, the Regent will be with them.

As long as they are with them, once they encounter an accident, the Regent will take risks with them.

Pine knew very well that the Regent would not wait outside.

Otherwise, the Regent would not be fully armed and wear a force feedback power armor.

Pine took a small step back and turned on the communicator.

"Team one is in front, team two is behind, team three and team four are stationed on the transport boat, pilots, please pay attention, be ready to take off at any time..."

With Pine's order, a small team of Star Army soldiers who were originally following Li Meng hurried forward.

They trotted, surpassed Li Meng, and led the way in front.

A team of ten people, plus Pine, a total of twenty-two people.

The team of twenty-two people gradually approached the pyramid.

Li Meng chose the north, of course, for his own reasons.

On the northern side, there is a huge hole at the junction of the pyramid and the ground.

It is a door, a door that can enter the interior of the pyramid building.

In front of the hole, the team stopped.

"001, go inside and take a look..."

It was dark in the hole, and nothing could be seen.

There was only a pile of yellow sand where the sunlight could reach.

001 responded, flew into the cave, and disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, 001 flew out of the darkness again.

"Safe, no living organisms were found..."

Hearing this, Li Meng ordered: "Let's go, let's go in!"

The team continued to move forward and stepped into the cave one by one.

As soon as they entered the interior of the pyramid, darkness enveloped everything.

Except for the entrance and exit behind, nothing could be seen.

"Turn on the searchlight..."

With Pine's order, beams of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The beams of light came from the laser rifles in the hands of the soldiers.

As beams of light appeared, the surrounding scene could finally be seen clearly.

There was a huge metal passage on both sides.

"Regent, which way should we explore?"

The left and right passages were the same, very straight.

Facing Pine's inquiry, Li Meng looked back at the huge entrance and exit.

"Pine, what kind of weapon can cause such damage?"

Pine looked back at the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was very large, with a diameter of no less than five meters. It was a little round, but not very round.

After thinking for a while, Pine replied: "It can't be an energy weapon. Energy weapons can penetrate the outer wall, and naturally they can also penetrate the inner wall. But except for the outer wall, the inner wall has not been damaged at all."

"It can't be a live ammunition weapon either. The damage caused by live ammunition weapons will not be so smooth. It should be torn, but the edge of the cave entrance seems to have been melted by something."

"Could it be a plasma weapon?" Li Meng asked.

Pine shook his head and said: "No, plasma will have a sputtering effect. If it is plasma, there should be melting on the walls around the cave entrance."

That's strange...

It's not a live ammunition weapon, not an energy weapon, and not a plasma weapon.

What weapon caused the hole on the surface of the pyramid?

"0001, what did you find?"

Li Meng asked 001 again.

001 floated towards the cave entrance...

A white light curtain spread out and scanned the wall on one side of the cave entrance.

From top to bottom, then from bottom to top.

Then 001 returned to Li Meng.

"Some acidic organic matter was scanned at the edge of the cave entrance, and its function is unknown..."

Acidic organic matter?

Li Meng frowned slightly, and his expression was thoughtful.

If it is organic matter, it is related to organisms.

Could it be that the culprit of the attack on the giant civilization is some kind of native organism?

No, this is impossible...

If it is a native organism, Star No. 1 will not become a dead star.

And from the perspective of the building structure, the giant civilization obviously has extremely advanced technology.

An intelligent race with advanced civilization cannot be destroyed by native creatures.

"Keep going, to the right..."

The truth can only be found by going deeper.

With Li Meng's order, the team continued to move forward.

Leaving the light at the entrance of the cave, they walked deeper along the metal passage.

Dark, very dark...

Except for the range where the light beam can shine, everything is dark.

In addition to darkness, there is silence...

The metal passage is quiet.

Except for the footsteps of the team, there is no other sound.

In the closed space, in the dark space, the oppressive environment makes the soldiers of the Star Army highly alert.

They hold laser rifles and shake them left and right to increase the visual range.

The soldiers walking at the end turn around and look back from time to time.

At this time, the entrance of the cave can no longer be seen.

The darkness behind is more terrifying than the darkness in front.

Because the enemy often comes from behind and approaches silently.

"Regent, are we going down again?"

Paine approached Li Meng slightly and expressed his guess.

Li Meng also noticed this.

Because the metal passage is not straight, but an arc extending inward.

Although the downward slope is relatively gentle, it has been walking for so long, and it has been more or less noticed.

Li Meng has a guess.

The passage under his feet is circling the outside of the pyramid downward.

And this pyramid is bigger than it looks from the outside.

Most of it is buried underground, otherwise, the downward slope of the metal passage will not be imperceptible.

Only if it is big enough, the downward slope will be gentler.

"It seems that this building is bigger than we thought..."

Yes, it is very big, very big...

Paine also noticed this.

They have been walking in this metal passage for a long, long time.

It seems that there is no end in sight, and there is not even a fork.

Such a large building will never have only this metal passage.

It's just that they haven't found the entrance to the internal structure yet.

We can only go deeper into the outer channel...
