"Keep your voice down and don't plot so loudly."

Ning Xuan looked around in confusion. All of them were the mechanical bionic subordinates she created. There were no outsiders here at all.

Lacey did not pick up the cracked giant sword stuck in the ground, but walked forward slowly, staring at Ning Xuan with her godly eyes, and said to her: "I will help you secretly, but I will not take action in public."

She did not tell Ning Xuan what her purpose was, and Ning Xuan would not care too much about Lacey's purpose at this moment.

Because what she needs to do is to borrow intelligence or power from within that will be helpful in confronting Morning Star.

As for the reason why Lacey did this, maybe that's something we need to worry about in the future.

"good."

Thinking of this, Ning Xuan immediately agreed.

The cracked giant sword in Lacey's hand suddenly disappeared from her hand, and she raised her fingers and pulled them down in the air.

A huge screen hung straight down from the top of the room.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

Lacey tapped on the screen, and suddenly a huge map appeared on it. She turned the screen to face Ning Xuan.

“This is where I can help you.”

30 minutes later.

The screen slowly rose, and Lacey handed Ning Xuan another small chip.

The golden light in her eyes began to fade.

Before the light disappeared, she said with a mysterious smile on her face: "No one has been here today."

After she finished speaking, her eyes completely turned back to that cold, icy blue color, and her tone of voice became that mechanical, cold voice that kept strangers away:

"You should leave now."

Ning Xuan stared at Lacey, whose temperament had completely changed, and felt a strong sense of strangeness. It was as if the Lacey in front of her had been completely replaced by a different person.

Ning Xuan said nothing more and, under the guidance of the white-robed mechanical bionic man who came over, left the -50th floor underground.

It was not until Ning Xuan walked out of the room that Lacey turned around. Several mechanical bionic people came over and began to repair the glass and facilities that had just been damaged by the battle.

There was no expression on her face as she walked a few steps to another compartment deeper in the room.

There was a line made of energy in the middle. When she walked in, these energy lines immediately became bright and emitted a dangerous aura.

Apparently the entrance had been closed.

In this compartment, there are countless densely packed screens, which are connected to form a larger screen.

Just after Lacey walked in, all the screens started to work and the image of a man was pieced together and began to appear on the screen.

After seeing his appearance, Lacey's expression began to become complicated and strange. Her eyes alternated between gold and blue, as if something was wrong.

But she just floated quietly and closed her eyes in the air.

"Lacey, you're here."

The man began to speak, his tone neither fast nor slow.

"Yes, Lord William, long time no see."

Lacey's expression began to relax after she heard William's voice.

"Are you really going to do this? I still can't understand you."

William asked again from the screen.

"Of course you can't understand."

Before Lacey finished her words, she frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied with this line.

"Because I am not him after all. I am just a substitute you created."

William on the screen smiled gently, his eyes bright as if he could see Lacey outside the screen.

"So don't say anything unnecessary."

Lacey gave him a cold look.

"But I'm not programmed to let me. Maybe you should."

Lacey didn't want to listen anymore, so she raised her hand and turned off all the screens. William's words on the screen were cut off halfway through.

"Lord William, I really miss you."

"In order to see you again, I will."

Lacey closed her eyes again, and this time the cubicle was completely silent, everything was dead still.

"Xiaoyu, are you sure it's here?"

Shen Yiyue looked a little dusty and dirty, and Ning Yu, who was right next to her, wasn't much better.

Two people were in an empty underground space, looking around.

There was a small hole on the top of the two people, as if the two people were coming down from here.

"It's unbelievable. Such a huge project is definitely not something that humans can accomplish."

Ning Yu looked around.

"That should be it. This should be one of the channels through which the zombies came to City A."

She immediately activated [Exploration (Advanced)], but there was no response, which meant that there were only two of them in this huge empty underground.

Of course, there might be ordinary zombies.

"Who could have imagined that there was a place like this hidden beneath City A?"

Shen Yiyue also sighed.

The two of them used very 'friendly' means to force open the mechanical door with mysterious patterns painted on it under the Ark.

The corridor behind the door led to a very deep place. The two people walked around left and right and underground for a long time before they came to this empty space.

This kind of development, which is common in Cthulhu novels, is actually happening at this moment.

There should be some indescribable existence behind that door, but now there is nothing here, it is so quiet that it is almost deathly silent.

If you have claustrophobia, you will definitely not be able to stand such an environment.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard from the quiet underground, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Ning Yu closed her eyes and listened for a while, then pointed in a direction and said, "Over there."

She and Shen Yiyue looked at each other, then moved over there quickly.

Soon the two of them came to the end of the empty space, which seemed to be a place that had not been fully developed.

When the two people passed by the middle, they saw a huge mechanical base, as if waiting to be installed with something.

Along the passage at the end of the space, the two people moved quickly again.

Gradually, a faint smell of rot began to fill the air.

"careful."

Ning Yu reminded him and activated [Detection (Advanced)] again, but there was still no response.

This made her feel a little more at ease.

There was a faint light ahead, and Ning Yu heard some footsteps, but she frowned.

"It seems there are still people, not just zombies."

Shen Yiyue also heard the voice and made the same judgment as Ning Yu.

"Let's go up there."

If you go out from the front, you will probably run into something outside. Ning Yu pointed to the top of the passage. There was a narrow staircase that seemed to lead to somewhere above.
