Byron's Blade

There were chaotic footsteps in the building that no one had visited for a hundred years.Thick dust is covering everywhere, desks, computers, meeting rooms, everything is buried in the smoke and dust, sealed for a hundred years.

"Let's go!" A muffled yell sounded. Wearing a breathing filter, the heavily armed special forces of the 180th Division held a gun, and the tip of the gun stabbed Mu Li's back fiercely.Mu Li staggered two steps forward, then turned his head and gave the soldier a cold look.The fierce murderous aura made the soldier shudder, and he became even more stern:

"What are you looking at! Let's go!"

As he said that, he kicked up, and kicked the sole of the heavy military boot on the outside of Mu Li's thigh, with a lot of force.Mu Li tensed his muscles in a daze, and didn't move a bit. The soldier felt as if he had kicked a wall, and he lost his strength for a moment, but Mu Li had already strode forward.

Following behind Mu Li, another 15 captives were brought down one after another.All the prisoners were all wearing white protective clothing and gas masks.Probably the Generalissimo didn't want them to die too quickly, so he put on this set of clothes for them out of kindness.

Mu Xin couldn't see anything, and was carried away by two soldiers.The same is true for Alita, whose spine was injured, but her trauma is not completely irreversible. After several hours of treatment, it has been relieved a lot.In terms of quick cure, federal medicine has made great progress.However, it probably still hurt her nerves. It was difficult for her to walk, but she was barely able to stand.

The 180th Air and Land Division is worthy of being the ace division under Andres. It is quick and agile in action. The Airborne Special Forces, which uses Thunder Airborne as its specialty, has brought the cooperation between people to the limit.There is nothing redundant in all movements, standard and full of powerful beauty.As early as when they first came in to detect, the vanguard had already cleared the scene, and there was no threat in this building, so the process went smoothly all the way to the elevator leading to the underground.

The elevator is protected by passwords, iris and fingerprints, and the control panel must also be displayed with a chip card.However, after 100 years of neglect, this delicate instrument has lost its function.The technicians have found the motor of the elevator through violent means and replaced it with a brand new one.After testing, it has been able to carry people down.

The Generalissimo himself had been waiting at the elevator entrance for a long time, and Akihiko Inoue and Pell stood behind him, watching all the prisoners arrive, the major officer who had come to the cell to interrogate Mu Li stepped forward and saluted and reported:

"Report to the Marshal! Ready to start anytime."

Rudolph nodded and asked, "What's going on next?"

"The water below is very serious, and the southeast corridor has collapsed. Rainwater and groundwater have invaded the corridor for many years, and it is already in a swamp state. We have prepared inflatable kayaks, and the corridor is spacious, so rowing is not a problem."

Rudolph frowned and said:

"Do you know where the IBM5100 is?"

"It hasn't been identified yet, but we guess it should be in the precision instrument storage warehouse."

"Is there a leak in it?"

"It's... not clear yet." The major couldn't answer, because the detection plane hadn't reached that location yet, so he naturally didn't know.

"Are there Zergs and predators down there?"

"A reconnaissance plane has been sent out, and it can be confirmed that there are indeed Zerg and predators living underneath."

Rudolph pondered for a moment, and said:

"Let's get started with the plan."

"Yes!" The major saluted.

"Everyone, let me in!" The soldiers began to use guns to force the prisoners into the elevator. This elevator was probably used to transport large items, and the interior space was very spacious. 16 prisoners walked in, and there was still a lot of room left. So four more soldiers with guns entered.All the way down the elevator, there is a sense of weightlessness, and you can clearly feel that the elevator is rapidly descending into the underground world. In the enclosed space of the elevator, there is silence.

A dozen seconds seemed as long as a century.Then, in an instant, the elevator came to an abrupt stop, and that kind of pause without warning made people feel extremely uncomfortable.Then two soldiers manually opened the elevator door.The one standing closest to the door was Robin Quinn. He also had the best eyesight. As soon as the door opened, his eyes widened and he almost yelled out in surprise.

Because the elevator door is suspended, there is no foothold at all, the stairwell below has disappeared, and there is no floor. The elevator is only suspended in mid-air by the steel cables above.The cold wind swished into the elevator, and there was a terrifying water below.Even the fact that there is water below is judged by the faint sound of water, because there is no light below, and nothing can be seen, as if in hell.The temporary light bulb installed in the elevator was emitting a weak light. The light was swallowed by the thick darkness within half a meter. The entire elevator was suspended in the empty space, like a small light bulb used by a giant.The water surface below was as black as ink, and according to Quinn's perception, it seemed that the bottom plate was at least ten meters away from the water surface below.

The two soldiers closest to the door threw out two metal capsules about the size of suitcases on their backs, and threw out a few fluorescent sticks along the way.The fluorescent stick drew several condensed rays of light in the dark space, and finally landed on the water surface, floating up and down, like stars dotted in the dark night sky.The metal capsule opened immediately when it encountered water, and quickly expanded into two orange inflatable kayaks, one of which could carry ten people by visual estimation.

The two soldiers tied the ropes in the elevator, descended first, and boarded a motorboat one by one.During this process, the elevator was constantly swaying, and the people standing inside couldn't help feeling uneasy, worrying whether the elevator would suddenly fall.Then Mu Li and others were forced to descend one by one along the rope and fell into the kayak.

The temperature dropped significantly, and the thin protective clothing could not provide much insulation effect. Everyone shivered from the cold, huddled on the kayaks, and the cold water temperature below seemed to be able to infect the body through the kayaks.Each kayak has two soldiers, kneeling at each end of the kayak.Mu Li took a closer look. On her side of the kayak, there were Mu Xin, Bailey, Joan, Xia Jie, Lin Zhao, Chris, Mo Kexin, plus herself and two soldiers. Exactly ten people.Lanny is on the kayak on the other side, and that kayak also has Alita, Qiu Zheng, He Yingning, Zoe, Lilian, Robin and Jill.

Mo Kexin was sitting beside her, curled up and shivering.Mu Li touched her hand lightly, it was as cold as ice, she had a bad heart, Mo Kexin might suffer from hypothermia and shock if this continues.

"Over there, what are you doing!" The soldier was very vigilant, and when he saw Mu Li touching Mo Ke's hand, he immediately issued a sharp warning.

Mu Li took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.Looking sideways at Mo Kexin quietly, seeing her shaking her head imperceptibly, Mu Li then lowered his body and stopped moving.

The elevator went up, and 20 people were transported down after a short while, so it went back and forth a total of eight times, and the water below was already covered with kayaks.

After the last group of people came down, the elevator was left at a height of ten meters above the water surface. As for how to get up, it was not a problem that needed to be considered now.

The first captive ship started to head towards the depths, and the rowers were naturally the captives. The soldier squatting at the front hung a searchlight on the bow, and the dazzling white light opened a long white line in the deep corridor. , dust floating in mid-air can be seen.The surrounding area was so quiet that only the sound of rushing water from the paddles sliding reverberated.

Behind the captive ship was the lead ship where the Generalissimo and the others were riding. The Generalissimo was holding a radar instrument in his hand at the moment. Looking at the picture displayed above, he probably knew which direction to go.

The unmanned reconnaissance plane sent in advance is being controlled by several technicians, and it is constantly shuttling through the endless corridor.Two of them crashed inexplicably during the flight, and wings and claws can be vaguely seen in the camera, so it can be judged that there is indeed some kind of creature inhabiting the tunnel.

Mu Li is one of the oar-holders, holding the paddle in her hand to slide the water, but she is thinking about how to get out of the current predicament.She never gave up hope for a second and was always looking for the right moment.In fact, during the process of descending and getting on the boat just now, she wanted to do it three times, but after calculating in her mind, she came to the conclusion that it was not feasible, so she gave up.Her purpose is to rescue everyone safe and sound, and to complete the ultimate goal of the Long March team - to obtain IBM5100.She knew that the time was not yet ripe. Perhaps after getting the IBM 5100, the moment when the enemy was most relaxed was the best time to do it.

The body controlled by the medicine was weak and weak. The other party probably knew that Mu Li's body had been modified, so he injected her with a huge dose of medicine, but it still allowed her to maintain normal mobility.Now that she is able to paddle, she can be regarded as one of the 16 people with better physical strength.The oarsmen on the same boat as her were Xia Jie, Chris and Lin Zhao. In order to maintain the speed of the boat, it was necessary for the captive boat to have four oarsmen.For the rest of the kayaks, there are only two oarsmen. For the strong soldiers of the 180th Special Airborne Division, it is more than enough to keep up with the speed of the captive ship.

Mu Li, Xia Jie, Chris, and Lin Zhao inexplicably had a silent tacit understanding. Although no one spoke, the cooperation when paddling was perfect. The boat moved forward steadily. It can also turn smoothly when avoiding obstacles.

The ship moved toward the corridor for about half an hour, but still could not see the end. It was like an endless maze. The 27-kilometer-long corridor was submerged under the water surface of the former collider pipeline. Unfortunately, the old collider pipeline The scene of scientific research has been completely invisible.Only the moss on the water surface and the walls of the corridor tells the changes of human society.

Mo Kexin beside him was getting weaker and weaker. Mu Li was very worried, so he freed his hand and tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to hug him sideways so as to transfer some heat to her.She was already sweating from rowing by herself, and her whole body was full of heat.Although she and Mo Kexin have nothing to do with each other, but now is not the time to pay attention to these things, life-saving is the most important thing.She didn't want to watch Mo Kexin freeze to death right under her nose.

Mo Ke's heart moved slowly, probably with a sense of temptation.She was afraid that the soldiers behind her would stop her actions, so she was very cautious and was ready to withdraw her actions at any time.

I don't know if the soldier was showing kindness or just didn't pay attention, but when Mo Kexin finally hugged Mu Li carefully, he didn't make any sound to stop her.Mu Li, who didn't pay much attention to this matter, was made extremely nervous by Mo Kexin, and his whole body became stiff.

It was only after she really leaned over that Mu Li felt how cold she really was, her whole body was chilled, as cold as a piece of ice.The cold air spread to the skin, and Mu Li couldn't help shivering.

She was a little surprised, why is Mo Kexin so cold?It seemed like no one else was like her either.Tilting her head slightly, her cheek just touched Mo Kexin's forehead, it was scorching hot, she was startled, it turned out that she had a high fever!

Mu Li sighed from the bottom of his heart, pity Mo Kexin who is so weak and weak, but suffers this hardship.If they can't get out of the predicament this time, they will all die, and no one will be able to live.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel tense, thinking more about the escape plan.

If the IBM 5100 can be snatched, the only way to escape is to snatch the driving rights of the Zeus, otherwise they have no means of transportation, and it is impossible for them to walk back to the Federation on two legs.It's just that the piloting right of the Zeus is in the hands of Pell. According to Latia, the Zeus relies on Latia's spiritual command. There should be some kind of relationship between Zeus's AI - Zeus and Pell's soul Contact, if you can kill Pell and surpass Zeus, maybe you can really snatch Zeus.

It's just that the feasibility is a big question mark.

Moreover, before competing for the right to pilot the Zeus, she has another troublesome figure that must be dealt with, that is Grand Marshal Rudolf Andres.To deal with such a cunning fox who has lived for hundreds of years, Mu Li really has no idea.In terms of force, although Rudolph only briefly showed his skills, it gave Mu Li the feeling that there was no bottom to it.In terms of resourcefulness, Mu Li didn't think he could beat him.He is a nearly perfect human being, powerful and difficult to deal with.

So while thinking, rowing.Suddenly, an order from the Generalissimo came from behind:

"Stop going."

Mu Li hurriedly rowed the kayak backwards, and worked together with Lin Zhao, Xia Jie, and Chris to stop the kayak.She listened intently, and vaguely heard a humming sound coming from the front, and it became louder and louder.

Something was approaching, and she frowned.

The author has something to say: I feel inexplicably writing a tomb robbery novel.
