Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

It should be said that the action team at that time was actually very well prepared.

However, judging from the fact that the target location is 10,000 meters underground...

Obviously, they cannot afford to have enough conditions to equip all team members with self-circulating oxygen supply equipment.

At that time, China did not have powered armor.

So it can only be a gas mask.

And that black mist is obviously not ordinary poisonous gas - to be precise, it is not poisonous gas, but some kind of 'waste material'.

Similar to the plasma waste released in a thermonuclear fusion reactor.

It's just not that hot.

But some of its ingredients are fatal to living organisms.

No matter how much they are filtered, they will inevitably penetrate into the respiratory system in small amounts through the filter box.

And then it became like this.

This group of victims could be said to have sacrificed their lives in exchange for the emergency evacuation of others - giving the latter the opportunity to quickly notify the rear and replenish those with targeted protection capabilities and higher-level protective equipment.

As a result, many people were lost here:

Judging from the situation at the time, this black mist had obviously spread throughout the entire No. 1 Secret Realm.

That is to say, there are layers of airtight doors that block many cabin sections.

Also, I don't know if there is an air circulation system here - even if there is, it may have been out of service for a long time.

So some safe areas were blocked.

But alas, empiricism kills.

From the perspective of hindsight, it is a somewhat reckless cracking operation that caused them to spread everywhere.

From the beginning of this second operation, everyone was completely immersed in this black mist.

Fortunately, at this time, we have the advanced equipment of the Afterglow Civilization.

Pure remote control, with autonomous omni-machine units acting as the vanguard, which solves the problem of "harsh terrain" very well.

——Obviously, these unexplained harmful gases that can kill living organisms and destroy electronic equipment cannot affect the Marine autonomous mechas and remote-controlled armors that have been fully upgraded to tachyon processors.

"Since there are no negative effects, it's not a bad thing,"

"At least... there's a little bit of upside for us, well, them,

In short, those on the front lines can follow the spread of these fogs and try to find their source. "

"Whatever the hell it is, it has to come from somewhere."

"Pinch it off, and you can find a way to get rid of these things - I don't want to have a lot of these toxic and harmful substances in my collection... It's not like we have so many in our collection. Sweet air-dried wool?”

Su Wen changed into a more comfortable position and kept making contorted gestures.

He leaned against Guanghui in an inconspicuous manner, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder,

As if he were treating her like a human-shaped pillow - well, that was actually the case at the moment.

Her Highness the Mistress obviously had no objection to the Commander's whispers in her ears.

With a pleasant smile on his face.

The two of them were like those young lovers who were having fun with each other on the benches in some college groves/artificial lakes/walks and other ghost places, as if they wanted to get into each other's clothes.

Together we sat on Su Wen's large chair and watched the live broadcast in front of us.

Live broadcast footage...

Of course the situation is improving.

Except for the small episode when entering the structure at the beginning.

In the following dozens of minutes of slow exploration, there was no situation that could be called 'encountering danger'.

It's completely like an armed parade.

Basically I only encountered two things along the way:

The cabin was damaged by unknown reasons and was in a mess;

The cabin was intact, but dead silent, with no moving objects except the thick fog that filled every corner;

The purpose of the various cabins is unclear.

Mainly because there are almost no normal equipment inside.

Not even interior.

Every one of them is empty.

The only thing worth calling 'abnormal' is the ground beneath your feet.

It is covered with the same black lumps that look like dry asphalt, uneven and extremely grainy, as seen outside.

This stuff really looks like asphalt.

Even the surface is slightly soft and has a very small elasticity.

Almost none, so much so that the Chinese Action Team even ignored this last time.

In fact, they didn't notice any of these things last time.

I thought it was just the ground.

The main reason was that I was in such a hurry that time and had so many accidents that I didn't have time to pay attention to these details.

But this time, with the full set of Marine Corps instruments, it was confirmed that it was indeed not the cabin floor, but a layer of covered hardened material.

This made Su Wen a little suspicious.

"Why does it feel so...deserted?"

On the other side of the screen, Li Xingjie seemed to have a telepathic connection, talking about the same feelings as Su Wen at this moment.

Looking at this scene, the two of them felt that these cabins were a bit...

'Clean' is too much.

There is nothing but the mysterious black asphalt and thick black fog.

"That was it the last time I came here,"

"All the cabins on both sides of the corridor were so empty. We originally wondered if someone had moved things away or something..."

A member of the action team said.

She participated in the operation four years ago, but was not on the front line.

Same as now, responsible for logistics.

So he stayed in the rear area and acted as an advisor beside Li Xingjie.

Other non-front-line 'witnesses' are also here.

Affirm this statement:

In their impression, the first cabins were all like this.

Extraordinarily empty, unusually neat, and unusually quiet.

"They're not like functional rooms, but more like warehouses."

Li Xingjie rubbed her knuckles unconsciously and began to guess,

"Or...a prison cell?"

She looked at the people around her.

Everyone was a little hesitant.

"Whether it's a cell or a warehouse, most of it is 'vacant',"

Lieutenant General Liu Xun said,

"If not...then where are their loads?"

Everyone turned their attention to the big screen at the same time.

Looking at what was coming from the front line, there were dozens of different shots.

They all exist in the dried black hard hardened material at the bottom of the picture.

For a while.

It seems a little scary to think about.

But I feel a little confused:

If the previous hypothesis is true.

What could cause such a change?

Chemical leak?

Or some kind of riot?

There seems to be a connection between things on the ground and things in the air, but is that really the case?

do not know.

Don't know at all.

At least, in the eyes of the Chinese team members, the answer will not be found for a while.

"Uh..."

The lieutenant general also fell into deep thought.

"I have to say that this guess is still somewhat basic."

"However, it still cannot solve our problems. Instead, it raises new ones."

He spread his hands.

Everyone nodded in sympathy.

In the last operation, everyone did not study these strange empty cabins outside.

I didn't understand the possible secrets behind these things.

But obviously.

Even if you need answers, you won't be able to find them just by looking at them.

You can only go deeper to find it.

"Sampling of both substances has been completed and is now being analyzed."

"But...it takes time."

Meanwhile, in the Führer's office.

Guanghui said something coldly, as if he had read his mind.

Su Wen smiled with satisfaction.

..

After passing through them, you enter the 'middle layer'.

This is the deepest point that the Chinese action team reached last time.

It is also where they gain the most.

It is different from the empty cabins on the outermost level with unknown purposes and dirty floors.

here...

Well, it's a mess here.

But anyway, there are many things.

——Turn in through the air-tight door on the right at the end of the passage, and you will see a curved hall.

It feels a bit like a lecture theater.

But much wider than that.

And there are no tables and chairs on the stairs, but rows of shelves.

And the position of the 'podium' in the center is an open space where something should be placed:

The 'Portal Prototype' was obtained here.

Since the action team at that time dismantled it and moved it away entirely, there is now only a demolished and vacated floor in the center of the hall.

"According to the researchers' guess, this should be a place similar to a sample room or a spare room.

There are many packaging containers stored on the shelf,

We took some of it from here when we were here last time,

But due to limited transportation capacity and some blockades that are difficult to open, we still stayed..."

"Left, uh, why is there nothing left?"

A team member who participated in the previous operation was stunned midway through his words.
