"ah--!"
Engineer Xiao's screams echoed in the empty warehouse, carrying a desperate wail.
His body was knocked to the ground by the powerful energy wave, as if being torn apart by an invisible force. He struggled but was unable to stand still.
The entire base was shaking, and densely packed glowing grids appeared on the ground, like a giant spider web, covering the entire base.
Mou Xuan felt as if he was torn apart, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He tried to open his eyes, trying to see what was happening.
In his sight, the entire base was shaking, and the glowing grid on the ground seemed to be alive, slowly spreading out and emitting a strange light.
"This...what is this?" A bad premonition flashed through Mou Xuan's mind.
Chen Yao stood in front of the console, her body still radiating a dazzling light, but her eyes had become empty and blank.
She slowly raised her hand, pointed to the glowing grid on the ground, and said in an emotionless voice: "This is... a new beginning..."
Suddenly, a man dressed as an explorer pointed to the ground and screamed, "My old swan, look!" His voice was full of fear and he almost jumped up.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the metal on the ground seemed to come alive and began to move slowly.
Under the guidance of the luminous grid, the metals slowly gathered into metal tree roots, gradually spreading out to form a metal forest.
"The metals are moving!" Explorer Le's voice trembled and he could hardly speak complete sentences.
His eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.
At this moment, Expert Hao held the testing instrument in his hand and his face became extremely solemn.
He quickly operated the instrument a few times and said with a sullen look on his face, "This is the earth energy channel!"
Mou Xuan's left hand instantly resonated with the crystal core on the ground, and his body was wrapped in a warm force, as if awakened by some magical energy.
At the moment when the flow of time slowed down, he saw a ten-meter-deep underground structure.
Those underground energy channels are like intricate blood vessels, connecting the entire base and even extending to further places.
"This..." Mou Xuan frowned, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
The existence of this underground energy channel seems to indicate some unknown secret.
Engineer Xiao suddenly pointed at a display screen on the console and said with a pale face: "The defense matrix and the ruins building have the same origin!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's chest.
The defense matrix, the barrier that once protected them from external threats, actually has some mysterious connection with the underground ruins.
What's going on?
Just when everyone was in shock, new militants suddenly rushed in.
Their target was Chen Yao, however, the moment they approached Chen Yao, the metal forest seemed to be awakened by some force, and quickly entangled the militants, binding them tightly.
Mou Xuan used his ability to slow down the flow of time and saw the glowing technological maps floating in the ruins.
Those diagrams slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint light, as if telling some ancient and mysterious wisdom.
"What...what is this?" Engineer Xiao's voice was trembling and he almost cried.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath, then he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the technology maps, saying loudly, "We must figure this out!"
Ren's fighters struggled, but were unable to break free from the metal forest's grip.
Their faces turned pale.
"This earth energy channel is not simple!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was talking to himself.
At this moment, Chen Yao slowly stretched out her hand, and her fingertips lightly touched the glowing grid on the ground.
In an instant, countless holographic images appeared in the air, as if rays of light were cutting through the dark night sky.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" The happy explorer almost bit his tongue, and his face showed "the baby is frightened".
The moment Chen Yao's fingertips lightly triggered the light grid, the entire base was like a pot of boiling water. Holographic images popped up all at once, colorful and bright, almost blinding Mou Xuan's titanium dog eyes.
These images, like instruction manuals for the universe, densely cover the entire space, even more dense than the promotional information on Double Eleven.
Mou Xuan widened his eyes, trying to grasp something from it.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply, as if they were pricked by a needle.
In a flickering picture, he saw a familiar and sickening figure—the bastard who betrayed him in his previous life!
The guy was facing the camera with a fawning smile on his face, just like a kneeling lapdog.
Mou Xuan instantly felt a surge of anger rising to his head, and all the humiliations of his past life flashed through his mind like a movie.
"Fuck! What a narrow road for enemies!" Mou Xuan gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush over right now and twist off that scum's head and kick it like a ball.
At this moment, the crystal core in his left hand suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if trying to break free from his restraints and fly out to die together with the scum in the holographic image.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Mou Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively, and the most urgent task was to figure out what was going on.
