Chapter 123: Uninhabited Future City



"How does it feel to be a hero saving a beautiful girl and then be fascinated by the mermaid princess? Doesn't it feel like you're experiencing a fairy tale yourself?"

The system's teasing voice rang in his ears, causing Shen Lanzhou, who had just withdrawn his attention from Shadow Wolf's perspective, to frown.

"Please stop talking, and this thing is a murloc, not a merman!"

Shen Lanzhou couldn't hold it any longer. This damn system always jumped out to complain at strange times. It was really annoying.

"But through my good dog, I did hear some news that confirmed my guess."

She had no intention of breaking her oath and killing these fishmen.

But I am still willing to explore the little secrets that Her Royal Highness the Mermaid Princess is unwilling to tell.

As a creature from the shadow world, Shadow Wolf appeared in the material world where it should not have appeared through Shen Lanzhou, acting as her eyes and minions to do things on behalf of Shen Lanzhou who was unable to leave.

As for the murlocs who sneaked into Xinghai City, Shen Lanzhou may not kill them, but he must obtain their information to prevent unpredictable accidents.

Now, after satisfying his little curiosity, Shen Lanzhou focused his main energy on the Qingkong Base.

"Ha... I'm so sleepy... I need to take a nap. The system functions are still working normally. Remember to call me if you encounter any danger."

"Go ahead."

After the explanation, the system fell silent.

Shen Lanzhou stood in a familiar place, looking at the Qingkong Base not far away.

The city wall in the distance is taller and stronger than it was a year ago. The unknown metal material reflects a colorful halo under the light, giving the base a unique sense of technology.

The current Qingkong Base is more like a "city" built on wasteland than a "survivor base".

Even Shen Lanzhou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Amazing."

So how did they defend their base from attacks by all sorts of bizarre monsters?

Why would such an amazing human base become a breeding ground for the A-rank monster [Toad King]?

On the wall of the base, a red light flashed on a small, unknown mechanical screen. At the same time, pairs of sharp human eyes cooperated with the machine to scan the surroundings non-stop.

Shen Lanzhou concealed his presence, sneaked into the shadow world, and swaggered towards the city wall.

The human eye found nothing unusual, and neither did the electronic eye.

The girl strolled leisurely with her hands in her pockets under strict surveillance, and swaggered towards the gate of the Blue Sky Base.

The thick steel door blocked the passage between inside and outside like an iron wall.

Some flying mutant birds discovered this base full of "food" and swooped down from the sky, grabbing the sentries on the city wall with claws sharper than daggers.

“Squeak!”

A slight sound was heard, like the sound of an annoying mosquito hitting an electric mosquito swatter in the summer.

The mutant bird didn't even have time to scream before it was carbonized into a ball and smashed to the ground, breaking into pieces and becoming a pool of incombustible garbage.

Invisible protective barrier?

Shen Lanzhou raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. Why did it suddenly become sci-fi?

So the foundation for the existence of the Blue Sky Base is the advanced technology that is ahead of its time?

Shen Lanzhou stretched out his hand, touched the fine steel door with his fingers and pressed it gently.

Amidst the rippling water, his fingers easily passed through the invisible barrier and penetrated into the icy iron gate.

She lifted her legs, passed through the barrier, and entered the base silently.

The defense system of the Qingkong Base seemed to have undergone a major upgrade. If it were the original Shen Lanzhou, there would be no way to sneak in without alerting anyone.

But this is one time, that is another situation.

She, Shen Lanzhou, is no longer the poor and weak person she was at the beginning.

Aozora base?

Just the back garden!

Shen Lanzhou walked in the Qingkong Base as if he was walking in his own backyard, with a more arrogant and calm attitude than the first time he sneaked in.

Through the gate is the outer circle of defense.

Streamlined silver metal forms the walls and the ground.

If you look carefully from bottom to top inside the base, you can see that the vague honeycomb hexahedrons form a beautiful arc that covers the entire base and blocks all intruders from the outside.

Shen Lanzhou half-knelt down and found that the wall and the floor were integrated without any gaps.

It's amazing, like something out of science fiction.

The circular machine floated in the air, and the black screen seemed to reflect all light.

Electronic eyes that replace human eyes?

It's magnetic levitation!

Shen Lanzhou was like a country bumpkin who had just entered a big city, marveling at all the unfamiliar things that appeared before him.

Interesting, interesting.

The infrastructure that human civilization in the outside world has worked hard on for decades is basically destroyed. Electricity, water conservancy, communications, and the extensive roads and railways are all gone.

It is impossible to enjoy the convenience of water and electricity like before the end of the world.

The Blue Sky Base seemed to have no such worries at all.

Not to mention whether the residents inside can still enjoy convenient water and electricity, the energy consumed just to maintain such a large defense system must be astronomical.

How was the energy problem at the Qingkong Base solved?

Shen Lanzhou became more and more curious.

She went straight through layer after layer of city walls, took the shortest straight line, and ignored the numerous blockades to enter the base.

It was as if the future world a hundred years later, as imagined before the end of the world, appeared before him.

Beautiful silver buildings stand on the land, and all kinds of strange-looking machines of unknown purpose move and work along the road.

The tall trees that seem to have traveled through time before the end of the world and have never mutated form a beautiful green belt, bringing a touch of nature's greenery to this sci-fi city.
