Chapter 430 Uniga No. 1
Buzz!
In the huge geothermal pit, the rising heat waves are like the breathing rhythm of ancient Titans, and the dull sound of metal friction is like some kind of low hum from ancient times. The temperature transmitted from the underground makes the whole space seem to be scorched. The ground and guardrail grilles are all scorching hot. To work in such a place, you must wear high-temperature protective power armor.
"This place looks like a missile silo or a storage base for some kind of classified weapons, but the space has been extensively excavated. The geothermal energy might be connected to the Garan submarine volcano..."
Lin Xian was standing in the middle of the huge device and couldn't see the whole picture of the device at a glance. Judging from the structure of the vertical shaft, at least 2/3 of the space was newly excavated.
Very different from the previous military base, this kind of large-scale construction is definitely not something that a small organization can accomplish.
The first thing that came to Lin Xian's mind was the large test site in Qingshui Town, and
SIID Foundation organization.
"What is this thing used for? Extracting geothermal energy?"
"It looks like it's still in operation. If it's geothermal energy on this scale, it can at least power a medium-sized city. This..." Ning Jing frowned: "With such a huge amount of energy, what else can it power?"
"It's very simple. Once everyone comes in, we can find the main control room and check it out."
KIKI looked around and took out the original base blueprint for comparison, looking for a place to fit in, but the transformation here had completely changed the original terrain, so KIKI came to a console and tried to access the system here.
Ning Jing looked around vigilantly, not relaxing her gaze. "Xiaoqing, go check over there. Ah Bai, pay attention to the passages above and below. If you see anything unusual, tell me."
"Okay!" Xiaoqing took action immediately and her figure disappeared like a shadow.
"This place is still running. If we come in, they should have discovered us. Maybe they are hiding somewhere watching us." KIKI operated the terminal. As long as she connected to the system, she would quickly understand the situation here.
Lin Xian's drones have begun patrolling in all directions. Without Viola, he cannot conduct complex multi-threaded reconnaissance and can only let the drones patrol in different areas.
"Since we came in, we haven't detected any life signs." Lin Xian looked back at Shizhi, and Shizhi also shook her head. Her power armor has a more complete radar system, which is specially designed for reconnaissance and assistance. Lin Xian can also connect and control it. If even Abai and Shizhi didn't find any abnormalities, then others would not be able to find it.
"It doesn't matter. They are just a bunch of rats who are afraid to show up. If they dare to show up, I will take action."
Brother Huo snapped his fingers, and a flash of fire flashed across his fingertips, eager to try.
"Brother Huo, did you feel any pressure when you fought with those people who had evolved through lattice evolution this afternoon?" Lin Xian suddenly asked after hearing Brother Huo's words.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, standing sideways with his hands behind his back: "It's just an unorthodox method. How can it compete with the power we have cultivated so hard?"
"Do you need to develop lattice formation? I already have the technology of the Order of Phoenix and level 4 blood essence."
"Brother Lin, why didn't you say so earlier..."
Brother Huo immediately turned around and caught a glimpse of Xiaoqing's distant glance. He quickly cleared his throat and said seriously, "I have also thought about it carefully. This crystal lattice evolution seems to be similar to the condensation of the 'Nascent Soul' during cultivation. Perhaps this is also an opportunity."
"But Vanessa and the others also said that there are risks." Lin Xian said solemnly: "I have also communicated with the Phoenix Society. This kind of development still has many hidden dangers."
"Brother Lin, there's no need to say more." Lu Xingchen responded without hesitation. "If I don't go to hell, who will? The world is already like this. If I can gain the strength to wrestle that powerful enemy, why should I fear any hidden dangers of pain? Is there any hidden danger that can compare to this world-destroying power?"
Lin Xian was speechless after hearing this, then he smiled. What Brother Huo said made a lot of sense.
"Okay, once we've dealt with the current situation, I'll build the cultivation device and the replacement device, and let you take the lead."
"I would rather die than refuse!" Brother Huo immediately raised his voice with a heroic look on his face.
At this moment, KIKI completed the system intrusion.
“Found it!”
Chi!
She just pointed her finger, and an automatic door above the passage suddenly opened.
"This door leads directly to the main control room. I took a look and found that this area is connected to the submarine base. It has indeed been completely renovated!"
Lin Xian, Ning Jing and others immediately flew to the passage above. Seeing the automatic door opened in front, Lin Xian immediately controlled the drone to fly in and followed in. Inside was a highly automated passage. As they went deeper, more and more rooms came into view. At the end of the passage was an open hall, divided into multiple floors, filled with many terminal devices, such as the central control smart center.
However, at this time, all the office workstations were empty, and everything looked extremely tidy. It did not look like they had encountered any crisis, but rather that they had evacuated in an orderly manner.
Lin Xian walked over and saw several large screens in the data processing center continuously scrolling complicated data, which was dazzling.
"These systems are still operating automatically, KIKI."
"Let me take a look~" KIKI came forward, lowered his head and tapped on the keyboard, and said quickly
"This system is called the Deep-3 Nuclear Heat Inducer... The entire base is currently in autonomous operation mode."
"Shen-3 Nuclear Heat Inducer?" Lin Xian frowned upon hearing the name. "What's it used for?"
KIKI wondered as he operated it, "Strange, it seems they're not keeping this thing running by providing energy, but..."
As she spoke, she slowly turned her head and said
"release……"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's about... releasing this thermonuclear energy into the deep sea after some kind of energy replacement." Kiki pointed at the screen and said, "Look, the submarine pipelines connect many directions, but these directions are not cities, but deep sea areas..."
"So weird."
Didi.
At this time, Lin Xian's drone search received an early warning. He immediately captured the image and found some traces.
"There were people here a few hours ago. Sister Ning, Brother Huo, search around."
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Brother Huo took action immediately, Ning Jing nodded, and the team immediately dispersed to search.
Lin Xian looked at the strange data on the display screen with confusion in his heart. If the current situation did not allow it, he would have been ready to connect with Chu Yan's consciousness immediately. Perhaps the Phoenix Society would be more aware of these abnormal situations.
Shiori, who was standing next to them, looked around at this moment, and a strange look appeared on her face.
"Lin, I don't think this place is right."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xian subconsciously became alert.
Seeing that Lin Xian had misunderstood, she quickly waved her hands and explained: "I've seen a lot of this in Silent City. Many of the instruments and devices here are not experimental equipment, but more like..."
"Monitoring center, right?"
KIKI, who had been busy processing data, looked up and added a sentence.
Shiori paused after thinking for a long time without finding a suitable adjective and nodded repeatedly.
"monitor?"
Lin Xian became more and more curious: "What are you monitoring?"
KIKI exported a large amount of data on the screen, most of which were the same, with only a few parts different.
"Did you see that?"
"date?"
"Then what?"
“No more.”
“…”
Kiki tapped the screen and said angrily, "The data here is not experimental data. Instead, it monitors specific areas based on the fluctuations of underwater audio waves and spiritual energy values. And those specific areas..."
"Is it the area where thermonuclear energy is released?" Lin Xian replied.
"Yes." Kiki nodded: "You guessed right, they are monitoring the strange body, and it is a very special strange body."
"Any details?"
"No, there's only one entry in the log. They gave it a code name, called..."
"Unica No. 1."
Lin Xian heard some clues: "They built such a large device to mine geothermal nuclear energy just to release it into the deep sea and then monitor the movements of the strange body. Why does it sound like... feeding?"
"That's what I thought." Kiki shrugged. "It's hard to explain otherwise, but I don't understand what the purpose of doing this is."
"It seems we've discovered another big secret." Lin Xian said solemnly, "I'm wondering if the giant ocean god and the gathering of strange entities in the surrounding seas are related to this device."
"It's very likely..."
"Can we find any other clues? What organization built this base?"
"Do you still need to check?" KIKI tapped his finger, and a log page popped up on the monitor desktop. In the upper left corner of the page, a clear SIID logo appeared in sight.
really.
Lin Xian took one look and immediately dispelled all other suspicions in his mind. He could not think of any other organization that could have built such a large-scale project except the Crimson World and the Foundation. From the information from Ryan, the Holy City Organization was just a large sea group, which seemed to be affiliated with the Crimson World or the Foundation and became a minion of the Adventists. This made Lin Xian's situation much clearer.
"Do you still need to check?"
At this moment, KIKI's voice suddenly came from behind Lin Xian.
It was like she was repeating what she had just said.
In an instant, Lin Xian immediately looked up at KIKI, and KIKI also looked up sharply and subconsciously said
"Who is speaking?!"
Shiori turned around in surprise. In the empty metal passage, warm white lights flickered slightly. The hall was dead silent, as if what they had just heard was hallucination.
But judging from the reactions of the three people, Lin Xian was sure that this was not an auditory hallucination.
He immediately summoned two drones and flew them into the passage.
Nothing was found.
"Shiori."
Shiori nervously took a step back, her eyes scanning the empty surveillance room, and she lowered her voice and said, "Lin, there's someone here..."
Buzz!
Upon hearing this, KIKI immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to create a telekinetic shield. At the same time, Ning Jing, Huo Ge and others heard the words from the communication band and immediately responded, moving towards the hall.
"Be careful, it might be the same monster as the one in the passage, some invisible creature."
Lin Xian now regretted not bringing Director Ding, the Regional Black Chrysanthemum, and the Blood Vine. This kind of direct optical invisibility was the first time Lin Xian had encountered it, and he was inevitably caught off guard.
"Can you sense where I am?" Lin Xian pulled Shizhi behind him. In the current situation, he could only rely on Shizhi to sense me.
Shizhi was also very nervous at this time. She had obviously never encountered such a situation before. She frowned and looked around, and said quickly:
"I don't know, but I can feel someone standing next to us, watching us."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Xian and KIKI felt a chill down their spines.
"KIKI."
"I'll give it a try."
The two of them had a very good understanding of each other. KIKI immediately used her telekinesis to spread out in all directions. With her precise telekinesis detection, she could react immediately if there was anything abnormal.
"I want to see what kind of monster it is." said KIKI.
"I want to see what kind of monster it is."
Unexpectedly, just as KIKI's voice fell, the same voice appeared in front of everyone.
This time they heard it clearly; the sound came from a corner of the hall ahead.
"Imitate me again, come out!"
KIKI's eyes turned cold, and he attacked immediately. His terrifying telekinesis rushed towards the corner, and all the tables and chairs in front were blasted away by his telekinesis. The violent telekinesis rushed directly to the corner, and only a stream of air pressure was seen being pushed away.
"Caught?"
"without……"
KIKI looked serious: "I clearly heard it in that direction."
"careful."
Lin Xian had already summoned hundreds of drones to quickly scan and patrol the hall. The Iron Rain drones were moving at high speed, and he was still summoning more drones. As long as the thing did not disappear physically, it was very likely that it would be caught.
At this time, Brother Huo, Xiaoqing, and Ning Jing also rushed over from several passages. Abai, who flew quickly using power armor, just rushed into the hall and immediately discovered something.
"Captain Lin, there's someone behind you!"
Buzz.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian subconsciously activated the AT force field shield behind him, but nothing happened the next moment.
"Forest!"
Shizhi noticed something at this time, turned her head and pointed to Lin Xian's side. Before she finished speaking, a slender white figure suddenly appeared, knocked away several drones and rushed directly towards Lin Xian.
Lin Xian reacted and directly activated the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring. The AT force field shield instantly increased in size, like a violently covered sphere, immediately blocking Lin Xian's side.
boom!
The next moment, an explosive arc burst out, and Lin Xian only saw a hand covered with arcs clasping his force field shield in the air. The violent energy directly made him feel the electric surge, and he immediately realized that this sudden attack was quite powerful.
"Brother Lin, be careful!"
After Lin Xian blocked it, Lu Xingchen had already made a move at an extremely fast speed. A flaming sword spurted out from his fingertips and pierced through the Mach ring directly, and instantly rushed towards the monster. At the same time, a dark gray microwave rose from the white monster's body, blocking Lu Xingchen's flaming sword. Sparks flew everywhere and affected a group of computer equipment in the monitoring hall.
At the same time, KIKI also took action, using telekinesis to grab the creature and control it.
"What is this?"
After KIKI captured and controlled it, Lin Xian and the others discovered that it was actually a human!
Although it was a human, it was very far-fetched. This person had grayish-white skin all over, and a slender body that was more than two meters tall. He looked like some kind of cloned experimental subject. His facial features were obscured by melted flesh and blood, like ice cream under the scorching sun. His only mouth was like something in an abstract painting, deliberately distorted by the painter, and a black thread sewn across his mouth.
On the naked body, there are four arms of varying thickness, deformed and messy, with five hideous and twisted fingers that seem to be in great pain, wriggling like tentacles.
Its mouth was sealed, but KIKI's voice continued to come out from its stomach.
"What is this?"
"Learn from me again?"
KIKI said, raising her hand to crush the thing to death.
Lin Xian noticed at this moment that the four hands of this humanoid monster had twisted dark energy disturbing. Although it was controlled by KIKI, it did not seem to be struggling. He immediately realized that something was wrong.
"careful!"
Lin Xian raised his hand and waved, dozens of "Iron Curtains" immediately deployed shields and quickly surrounded the group. The next moment, an extremely hot breath suddenly burst out from it, and countless sword techniques similar to the Fiery Sword that Lu Xingchen had just used shot out in all directions along the gaps in the "Iron Curtain" defense!
In a flash, everyone immediately jumped up to dodge. Lin Xian pulled Shizhi away, Ning Jing pushed away the stunned Abai, Xiaoqing and KIKI dodged flexibly, only Huo Ge was caught off guard and was blown away by his own "Blazing Sword" while standing still. Fortunately, the high-temperature power armor specially made for him by Lin Xian blocked it, so he was not injured, but he was slammed into the wall in a mess, smashing a piece of the wall.
"This guy... can absorb superpowers?" Ning Jing, who pushed Abai away, reacted immediately.
