Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"001, go in and have a look..."

The soldier was right, it was too risky to go in.

Fortunately, there is 001. As a machine, even if it is trapped inside, its survival rate is much higher than that of humans.

001 moved in response, and flew in slowly.

"what is inside?"

When 001 disappeared into the darkness, Li Meng asked.

In the communicator, 001's voice rang.

"A passage, the same structure as the pyramid building on Star 1."

Li Meng asked again: "How's the temperature inside?"

001: "81 degrees, the closer to the other wall, the higher the temperature."

After thinking for a while, Li Meng took a step forward and walked in.

The Star Guard soldiers followed closely behind.

It was very dark and dark inside, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The only light came from the entrance behind.

The temperature inside is higher than outside.

In the power armor, Li Meng heard the roar from the thermostat system.

"not good……"

With an exclamation, the round door suddenly closed.

This made the soldiers somewhat unexpected.

Some soldiers even rushed towards the round door, but what they fell on was the hot metal wall.

Looking back at the metal wall where the round door was just now, Li Meng frowned slightly.

"001, contact Captain Ralph immediately, we are trapped and need a cutting device."

At this time, being trapped in the pyramid, I can't control so much.

001: "The signal is blocked and cannot be transmitted outside..."

Internal communication is not affected, but the outgoing signal is blocked?
"Crack..."

At this moment, only a sound of mechanical operation was heard.

A round door suddenly opened on the inner metal wall where Li Meng was.

It is exactly the same as the circular door leading to the inside of the pyramid just now.

As the round door opened, a wave of heat rushed towards us.

The helmet-mounted display immediately issued a warning, and the red warning signs all lit up.

The Star Border Army soldiers behind Li Meng even retreated again and again, trying to avoid the impact of the heat wave.

The shell armor of some soldiers became fiery red, showing signs of melting, showing the high temperature.

"Regent, the vacuum combat suit cannot withstand such high temperatures..."

He glanced at the soldiers behind him.

Li Meng found that the soldiers were emitting billowing green smoke.

"You stay outside..."

Without saying anything, Li Meng walked towards the round door.

"001, keep up!"

From the other side of the passage, 001 flew at high speed and rushed into the circular door.

As soon as it rushed in, the round door closed immediately.

"What should I do now? I can't contact anyone outside. What should I do?"

"There are people left behind outside, they will definitely think that we are trapped in the pyramid, and they will definitely notify Captain Ralph."

What's on the other side of the door?
Li Meng got the answer.

A huge space, a huge sleeping room.

As far as the eye can see, huge dormant cabins are lined up neatly.

The scorching heat twisted the air.

A large number of dormant cabins have become fiery red, showing signs of melting.

Looking into the dormant cabin, the liquid inside is already boiling.

All that was left of the alien creature sleeping in the hibernation cabin was a skeleton.

If you look carefully, you can still see the tumbling meat foam in the boiling liquid.

The scorching high temperature made the dormant cabin a pressure cooker.

High-temperature and high-pressure gas rushed out of the dormant cabin, rushing very high...

Even so, the life support system in the dormant room is still working.

Each dormant cabin is connected by a pipe, and a transparent liquid is continuously injected into the dormant cabin.

Walk briskly down the aisle of the dormant compartment.

Looking at the dormant cabins with billowing steam on both sides, Li Meng shuddered.

It's so tragic...

[Mission completion progress: 100%, you have completed the current mission, mission reward: 10000 trade coins]

[Activate the "Son of the Star" random feature, get 100 million trade coins, which have been credited]

Two golden subtitles floated past his eyes one after another, which made Li Meng look surprised.

Is this done?

"Crack..."

Just then, another door opened in the metal wall at the end of the corridor.

Who is guiding him?

Looking at the door not far away, Li Meng frowned.

Obviously, no matter whether it is the outer door or the inner door, it was deliberately opened by someone.

Its purpose is to allow outsiders to enter the inside of the pyramid.

And go deep into the pyramid step by step according to its guidance.

Who is it?
Is it surviving alien life?

Or is there an AI-like existence inside the building?
No matter who it is, Li Meng knows very well that he has no way out now.

The road behind has been sealed, and we can only move forward according to the guidance of "it".

Fortunately, his power armor has a certain heat resistance, otherwise, he would not be able to go deeper.

"001, let's go..."

Li Meng quickened his pace, one person and one machine hurried towards the door at the end of the corridor.

When passing through the door, on the other side, Li Meng came to a white space.

The space is very small, only about two hundred square meters.

As soon as they entered, the door closed behind them.

Compared with the outside, the temperature here is lower, at minus thirteen degrees.

In order to maintain the low temperature in this space, the machinery behind the wall is "humming".

The walls seemed to be shaking.

"Crack..."

At this moment, the deck on the ground in front of Li Meng opened to both sides.

From the open deck, a platform rose out.

The platform is very small, like a pillar less than twenty centimeters in diameter.

A silver metal box was placed on it.

a box?
Looking around, Li Meng came to the metal box.

Do you want to open it?

He has no choice.

Without hesitation, Li Meng opened the seemingly delicate box.

Li Meng thought that it would not be an easy task to open such a delicate box, so he was ready to fail.

But he didn't expect that the metal box was not locked at all, and he opened it easily.

As the lid of the box was opened, the densely packed glass tubes the size of the mother of a little finger came into Li Meng's eyes.

"001, what is the liquid in the glass tube?"

001 hurried forward, and a white light curtain projected out, scanning back and forth from the glass tube in the box.

001: "It's the gene sequence of a certain living body..."

gene sequence?

001's answer surprised Li Meng.

Li Meng thought of the giants he saw in the No. [-] Star Grand Canyon.

Do these gene sequences belong to that giant civilization race?

Also, the unknown being who guided them in wanted him to take away the genetic sequence of the giant race?

"Crack..."

Li Meng was thinking about something when another door opened on one side of the wall.

But this time, one door after another opened in the direction of the door, and finally led to the outside.

At the same time, communication was restored.

Li Meng heard the messy voice on the communicator.

"The interior of the pyramid is heating up rapidly, and it will reach a critical value in 5 minutes. Please evacuate immediately, please evacuate immediately!"

001 suddenly issued a warning.

Behind Li Meng, the metal wall turned fiery red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Needless to say to 001, Li Meng also saw the frantic temperature values ​​on the helmet display.
