Chapter 253: The "Fallen" Base (Part 1)

To the west of Base Zero, which was buried under a thick layer of snow, and separated by two mountains, Base Three was in a dead silence.

At this time? It was past? Noon, the sun's rays were blocked by the snow-capped mountains, and the shadows cast on Chu Wenxi's expressionless face made it even harder to see through.

"The avalanche blocked the road leading to Base Zero, so we are temporarily unable to enter?"

There was no obvious emotion in his voice, just a simple rhetorical question.

But the person in charge of Base No. 3 standing in front of him was a man who could read the atmosphere. He wiped the cold sweat off his face and said tremblingly, "This is what the communication from Base No. 0 said. Mr. Chu, how about you wait a little longer? After all, Base No. 0 has a doctor in charge, and the ability to deal with emergencies is very strong. Maybe you can get there in less than an hour."

Chu Wenxi's expression fluctuated a little at this moment. He pulled the corners of his mouth, and the air around him seemed to freeze as he spoke.

"This? This kind of nonsense is obviously something he deliberately used to fool me."

Do you really think he doesn't know how powerful that guy's technology is?

There was no way a single avalanche could block the base.

The reason for trying to stop him from going? There was only one reason, and that was Chu Xiuyan was there.

Chu Wenxi thought of this and felt annoyed again. As soon as he got off the plane, someone from the ruined city called him and said that "Yun Yan" followed him to the northwest and asked him if he had seen him.

Very? Obviously, no!

That guy must have hidden in the cargo box that the merchant was going to deliver to the snowfield base, and then either entered the snowfield watchtower or got lost in the snowfield.

……Wait a moment.

Chu Wenxi suddenly frowned. So how did that guy break through the snowy mountains from the snowfield and accurately find Base Zero in such a short time?

Someone is helping.

This thought popped up in Chu Wenxi's mind: maybe it's not a human.

He thought for a moment, drove away the person in charge of Base No. 3 who was standing there motionless, and turned around to dial the number of the ruined city.

"He is at Base Zero. The doctor forcibly blocked Base Zero on the pretext of an avalanche. You can try to use the dream channel to go directly through. If I'm not mistaken, the Ice Field will not stop you."

After saying that, he didn't give the other party a chance to respond and hung up directly.

Chu Wenxi put the communicator into his pocket. There was a tiny pinhole on the back of his bare hand.

He looked up and saw the clear blue sky.

Then he turned and entered Base No. 3.

He is about to start here.

We have to complete all the preliminary work before someone else speeds up the process.

…

"A-choo."

Chu Xiuyan sneezed and crawled out from the narrow ceiling vent. The corridor on the ground floor still had the very familiar high-tech metal walls.

He is currently on the third underground floor of the base, in the third corridor from the south.

The system's voice was mixed with a hint of pride: [The AI of the West? North Base is just average. I have it under control. Host, you can explore freely.]

Chu Xiuyan: [Oh oh oh! ]

The dazzling light illuminated every corner, as if even the dust could be seen clearly.

The moment the camera in the corner was pointed at the boy, the screen went black.

From time to time, the blue lasers that emerged from both ends of the wall kept freezing, giving people enough time to pass through.

The journey was smooth and not even an alarm sounded.

Chu Xiuyan clapped wildly: [Good? Great! Good? Handsome! The general is awesome! 】

The system was praised so much that it almost raised its non-existent tail, [No big deal? Host, wait for me, I will go fight with Ms. Baiyin and see if I can grab the control of this base? . ]

【Come on, system! Go, system!】

The voice in his head quieted down, and Chu Xiuyan continued to move forward.

The corridor was empty, with no one in sight. Every once in a while he would throw out a knife and pierce the camera, accompanied by the sizzling sound of electricity, making the environment finally not so dead silent.

When passing through a corridor, a patrol team came towards us. They were wearing silver-white special combat uniforms, which made them look particularly handsome.

Chu Xiuyan stared? Stared? Pondering? Can he get a piece of it?

The patrol team cast suspicious eyes on the boy, but did nothing.

Chu Xiuyan walked past them as if nothing had happened?

Walked? Well? A section of the road, can faintly hear? A subtle exchange of voices behind me:

"Good? Strange face, who is this? "

"She should be a student of a researcher. Ms. Shirogane did not issue a warning notice, so she should be qualified to move around here."

The system appears: [Yes, I am currently fighting three hundred rounds of rounds with that Silver Lady online. It feels so familiar, so familiar, just like going back to my hometown!]

After walking for a while, Chu Xiuyan just turned the corner of the corridor and saw a bulge on the wall only half a meter away from his right arm. It was the size of a palm, like a pustule, with a disgusting black-green color, and sometimes it rose and fell like a living thing.

Chu Xiuyan: “…”

Even the movements of throwing the knife in the hand stopped quietly.

"That's right, everyone knows..."

He showed a look of disgust but also a hint of eagerness to try, "I have obsessive-compulsive disorder."

System: [? How come I didn’t know you had compulsion… What are you going to do later? ]

Chu Xiuyan ran a little further away, huddled in a corner, half of his head poked out, his eyes almost glowing, and the bloody blade held between his two fingers was thrown far away, piercing the bulge accurately.

The next second, what came out was not a liquid of strange color.

Instead, it was an ugly creature with a strange shape, a weird shape, a very long neck, a snail-like head, and three meters tall and... well? more than meters long.

Chu Xiuyan turned and ran.

A researcher screamed from the other side of the bulging wall, "G3 ran out--"

The patrol team that had passed this corridor hurried back.

Chu Xiuyan rushed forward silently. A group of people appeared at the corner ahead, one of whom was a familiar green-haired young man.

"Hi, Yunyan."

Bai Qu greeted him with a smile, looking completely surprised why the other party was here, "Are you exercising? This place is not remote, it's easy to bump into people."

Beside Bo Qu, there were a few middle-aged researchers who looked very old-fashioned. They looked at the young man running from a distance with displeasure on their faces. "Your student is too reckless. This is a very important experimental area. How can he run so fast!"

"It's okay, it's okay. He's still a child." Bo Qu said in a tolerant tone, with a natural and gentle smile, "But it's not good to be targeted by the doctor. Yun Yan, how about you come with me first?"

His beloved student passed him without a word and ran away without looking back.

Baiqu: "?"

He pushed his glasses, and before he could feel the surprise, a middle-aged bald colleague next to him suddenly changed his expression, and even his voice trembled:

"Shit, what the hell is Base Zero researching??!"

In the corridor in front of them, there was a terrifying monster rushing over like a worm. Its flesh almost filled the corridor, and it looked extremely disgusting.

Bai Qu knew something about this thing, and introduced it enthusiastically: "This is the No. 3 byproduct of the G series. It looks a bit scary, but it is actually very weak and can easily die of fright. Researchers need to raise it carefully. Although it has many weaknesses, it can produce rare precious metals from its body surface, so it is relatively precious..."

Click.

The terrifying but weak monster fell headfirst and bit most of Bo Qu's body.

The patrol team running behind them: "Researcher Bai——"

Bo Qu: "Okay? Okay? Be good."

He killed it with one shot.

Base Zero, ground area.

Bloodball stared at the surveillance screen, most of which was black, but in the few remaining pictures, he could still clearly see the black-red-haired boy hiding here and there, opening doors everywhere to peek in, and poking at the wall to attract the hatred of the experimental subject.

He silently transformed into a human form, rolled up his non-existent sleeves, and said angrily: "I can't stand it anymore, he is destroying my house!"

The doctor who was watching the changes in the artificial intelligence program was a little slow, then thought for a moment, and said without any emotion: "He is looking for something more important, but those things are not here, so don't worry, it's just a small loss."

[Blood Mist] whispered, "He saw my diary. He's been to the cabin."

The doctor finally made a move. He turned his head and paused for a few seconds on the dark red-haired boy who was pretending to be busy. Then he moved his eyes back to the artificial intelligence program that was expelling the invaders and sighed inaudibly. "Why is your diary placed in that place... Never mind. Time is short, and someone led the way. There are indeed several passages leading directly to the top of the snow-capped mountain of Base Zero. It makes sense in theory, but emotionally... I don't seem to understand their actions."

[Blood Mist] tilted his head, "They? Who?"

At this moment, dense red exclamation marks appeared on the monitoring screen.

"Okay? What an exaggerated exclamation mark. What happened, Ms. Silver?" [Blood Mist]'s attention was diverted, and he rushed to the control panel, trying to find out the problem from the various monitoring screens.

"I'm sorry, sir." The mechanized female voice said in a serious tone, "The enemy that invaded the program is very powerful. I can't repel it for the time being. In addition, there is an M-series experimental body with very strong destructive power that escaped from the third underground floor of the base. It is expected to sneak into the ground within a minute and cause..."

Artificial intelligence? Before he finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded in the base, and the terrifying vibration like an earthquake made everything around him shake. I saw a few pictures pop up on the screen, a huge centipede-like creature penetrated the foundation of the underground base, the wall had been broken, and even the black mountain outside was exposed.

"Two-fifths of the foundation has been destroyed. The avalanche has caused the mountain structure to become unstable. According to the data, Base Zero will begin to slide downward in about half an hour."

The artificial intelligence "Silver Lady" continued: "But the base as a whole has not been seriously damaged, it's just that its location has changed."

[Blood Mist] pointed out: "But we were originally located halfway up the mountain, and could get sunlight from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. If the base were to slide down, the time we could get sunlight would be greatly reduced!"

What a simple and unpretentious statement.

"No, I have to go beat that bastard up! Why is the me in the neighboring world so noisy?"

【Blood Mist】Resentment is overwhelming.

The doctor held him down and said, "Let the priest control the experimental subject. Ms. Silver, fix the base's position. If necessary, you can activate the suspension mode."

"Yes, Doctor."

[Blood Mist] Expectation: "Can we fly to the top of the snowy mountain?"

Doctor: "The air is too thin, the location is too obvious, the temperature difference between day and night is too great, and the terrain is unstable. It is very easy to tilt, and it is inconvenient to go out."

[Blood Mist] Pondering? "The snowfield is not bad either. The terrain there is flat and the transportation is convenient."

The doctor lowered his head and manually controlled the screen, "Reject."

[Blood Mist]: "The bottom of the mountain! The bottom of the mountain——"

The doctor said again without looking up: "Dismissed."

The tone was flat and cold.

[Blood Mist] was about to get angry, but soon? I caught a glimpse of a scene on the surveillance screen, and suddenly? My scalp went numb.

He zoomed in on the surveillance footage, an empty room, a giant spherical machine that took up almost a third of the space, the curved operating table was already covered in dust, and at this moment, a young man with black and red hair stepped into this long-sealed secret laboratory.

"Uncle, uncle..."

[Blood Mist] poked the doctor next to him, swallowed his saliva and said: "Is this? Time? Space machine? Still? Working?"

The doctor also saw the footage in the surveillance and frowned, saying, "This is not a time-space machine, it's the first generation memory projector, but the core module is similar to the time-space machine. Theoretically, it's scrapped, and it's impossible for him to go to the past or see what happened in a certain period of time. Unless..."

[Blood Mist] tilted his head: "Unless?"

The doctor's hand fell on the operating table? His fingers seemed to be shocked by the cold keys, and they shrank slightly, barely noticeable.

"Unless, he has the missing half of [Time? Space]."
