Chapter 66: Underground Encounter



Judging from the foundation structure, this was once a shopping mall.

Because Shen Chaochao detected three layers of empty space underground, and from a structural point of view, it was the same structure as the Wanda Plaza that was popular two thousand years ago.

She jumped down from a gap and Mu Shifei followed.

"Leo, you and Qiu Zhi wait upstairs, we'll be up soon."

Shen Chaochao shouted upwards.

Um.

Lan Qiuzhi took out the gun and held it tightly in her hand. This was the first time she and Leo faced the unknown ruins alone.

Shen Chaochao was not there, and she was very nervous.

Leo silently blocked her behind him.

In an instant, Lan Qiuzhi felt a lot more at ease.

Wall-E was small in stature, so he also jumped through the gap.

The space underground became even darker, and Chen Chaochao took out a solar flashlight that had not been used for a long time.

Snap, Snap——

Going down the broken stairs, I could hear water dripping slowly from somewhere, and the sound echoed underground.

There is a faint smell of mold in the air.

"Put on a respirator."

There is no air circulation here. It would be bad if there were poisonous gas.

Mu Shifei landed lightly and took out the respirator and put it on.

His mission is to protect Shen Chaochao, and Wally's mission is to quickly collect information here and discover potential risks.

The lower floor is composed of compartments separated by iron frames. It should be an underground pedestrian street.

The structures have barely survived because they were supported by iron frames.

After all, it takes more than a thousand years for iron products to decompose in the natural environment.

Shen Chaochao believed that if he came a few hundred years later, there would probably be nothing left here.

The power of time is the most powerful weapon in the universe.

Um?

etc!

She paused slightly.

Something just flashed through her mind.

The power of time...

She had an inspiration and had a preliminary idea of how to increase the power of the wind chaser.

However, studying the rules of time is not that easy, and we have to do it slowly.

She walked slowly to a small shop.

There were many small round things scattered on the ground.

Shen Chaochao picked them up one by one and wiped them clean. They turned out to be refrigerator magnets made of glass.

This thing is very common in her world. She picked up several of them. They were all in the shape of cute pandas, Sanxingdui aliens, and crazy Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow.

It has been preserved to this day because of its special material.

She saw the Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow on the ground and wanted to come down to take a look.

Mu Shifei had never seen these before, and he looked curious, "Chao Chao, what is this?"

Shen Chaochao took a refrigerator magnet of a cute panda dumpling eating bamboo and stuck it on Wall-E's body.

Wall-E's body is mainly made of alloy, which contains a lot of iron, and it absorbed it immediately.

"Useless but cute little gadget."

[Master, is this for me? ]

"Well, this is for you. It's as cute as you are."

【Thank you, Master】

Wall-E raised his robotic arm and carefully touched the panda refrigerator magnet.

Mu Shifei reached out his hand, palm facing up, "I want one too."

"You can't suck it, so it's useless."

"No, I want it."

Okay, okay, you big fool, I’ll give it to you if you want it.

Shen Chaochao let him choose it himself.

After picking, the two continued to pick up things and took away all the refrigerator magnets that were still there.

"Chao Chao, do you want this?"

Mu Shifei picked up a transparent object the size of a fist, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Shen Chaochao took it, wiped it clean and saw that it was a potato-shaped pendant.

Just as she was about to take it back into the space, she was stunned again.

If it is pinched and pinched produced by Yiwu small commodities, it cannot be stored for so long.

She took it out again and looked at it carefully. The layer covering the outside should be resin. Could the potatoes inside be real potatoes?

Isn't it made from a mold?

Her heart skipped a beat.

Potatoes...a treasure food.

It can be used as a staple food, a dish, a snack, or an ingredient, but these are all secondary.

Importantly, potatoes and starch are also important bioenergy and play an important role in the fields of chemical engineering and physics.

But this might be something from thousands of years ago, and she couldn't jump to conclusion whether it was real potatoes.

Take back the space and study it when you have time.

After a round, they found nothing special, so they took Wall-E back the same way.

clang!

Suddenly, from deep in the silent underground space, there was a sound of something being knocked over.

Mu Shifei felt a chill on his scalp and immediately protected Chen Chaochao behind him.

Wall-E took out a mechanical bug and placed it on the ground. The mechanical bug quickly crawled towards the source of the sound.

Soon, a round image appeared in the brain.

It has a pink pointed little beak, small eyes like black beans, short limbs, and is covered with scales.

The sole is big overall.

"It's a star beast. It's so small and has little attack power. Just ignore it," Mu Shifei was relieved.

Many star beasts are huge in size, and this small one should be a cub.

Nothing to be afraid of.

However, Shen Chaochao's eyes lit up again and again. This is a pangolin!

Pangolin is one of the oldest species on Earth, and the ancients also called it a auspicious beast of the earth.

I didn’t expect that even though the earth is gone, this little animal is still alive?

"Let's go check it out."

Shen Chaochao covered half of the flashlight's light, took out the laser gun, and touched it.

Right at the staircase between the first and second floors underground, a mechanical insect was confronting a pangolin.

Shen Chaochao tiptoed over and discovered that the pangolin's two front paws were tightly grasping the belly of the mechanical insect.

There is a crystal in the stomach of the mechanical worm, which is its reserve energy.

Unexpectedly, when I explored here, I was discovered by the little star beast in front of me.

The pangolin doesn’t know whether it is dangerous or not. It only knows that the ugly thing in front of it has its favorite crunchy food in its stomach.

Shen Chaochao squatted down, took out a few energy crystals from the space and placed them on the ground.

He said softly, "You come here to eat, let him go."

The pangolin's small black eyes rolled around twice, then it let go of the mechanical bug and pounced onto the crystal on the ground at an extremely fast speed.

The mechanical insect fell flat on its back, unable to turn over.

Mu Shifei used his toes to help the little thing turn over, and the mechanical insect squatted on his feet and didn't move, with its small mechanical arm still tightly covering its belly.

Click, click, click——

The space was filled with the sound of pangolins biting crystals.

Shen Chaochao stood up, gripped the laser gun tightly, and secretly took a few steps back.

She was wrong.

How could a pangolin eat energy crystals?

This thing was not the pangolin she knew, its danger level was unknown, and it was not in Wall-E’s database.

Moreover, the speed at which the little thing pounced over just now was extremely fast, comparable to Mu Shifei's fastest speed.

It’s better to leave first.

Unexpectedly, the little thing quickly ate the energy crystal on the ground, sniffed the ground a few times, and crawled towards Chen Chaozhao with its tail twisted.

It is indeed not a pangolin. Observing it up close, Shen Chaochao feels that it looks more like a hedgehog.

Only instead of spines, the back is covered with scales.

Mu Shifei, Wall-E and the mechanical insect on his feet also retreated, ready to fight at any time.

Gurgle Gurgle——

The little thing cried a few times.

Um?

Shen Chaochao didn't feel that it was going to attack.

Hungry——Crispy——

A voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

She looked down in surprise, staring at the little thing in front of her, "Are you talking to me?"

Mu Shifei stared at her as if he had seen a ghost.

Who was speaking? Why didn't he hear it?

Hungry——Crispy——

That voice sounded in Shen Chaochao's mind again.

Shen Chaochao hesitated for a moment, then took out a few more energy crystals and placed them on the ground.

The little thing ate with a crunching sound.

After showing off the last crystal, it scraped it twice and hid the crystal in its arms.

Black bean eyes blinked and looked at Chen Chaochao.

Mother--

puff!

Shen Chaochao almost vomited blood!

She is human! Human! Human!
