Chapter 69 The Ladder to the Sky
Buried deep in the ground, in a deep tunnel.
A train, wrapped in the whistling wind, whistled by. On the front of the train, the huge headlights were like a star in the dark night.
Somewhere in the long tunnel, a small inconspicuous red light flashed alone.
Below the red light, there is a row of small red characters, showing a time that is constantly shortening.
29 minutes, 43 seconds.
On the train, Hu Wenbin answered the phone, listened for a while, then hanged up the phone with a "hmm".
"It's Dr. Li, he wants us to take him away." Hu Wenbin said, and then walked casually to a seat leaning against the carriage.
In the train, all seats were leaning against the carriage, and there was a five-centimeter-thick board between the seats and the carriage. Hu Wenbin reached out and pulled off a long lid at the top of a board.
Under the lid, a row of interfaces was exposed. Hu Wenbin took out a data cable and inserted one end into the interface, and inserted the other break into his computer.
On the computer screen, a prompt message pops up: PhD in Life Science DL2516 requests download.
Hu Wenbin reached out and pressed.
permit.
A minute later, Hu Wenbin unplugged the data cable, and a look of relief appeared on his tired face.
Everyone stared at him with a nervous look on their faces. Seeing his movements, Mosen asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes." Hu Wenbin nodded and said, "He has downloaded my computer. And..." At this point, a look of shame appeared on his face.
"Dr. Lee said that he just deleted the video footage of us installing the bomb."
Mosen was stunned, then said with some hatred: "I didn't expect that the surveillance of the Dead Castle would be so tight. In a short while, the station we exited would be destroyed."
There are still red clouds in the sky.
Next to a highway high above the ground, there is an abandoned wooden house in the flat fields, standing alone. The wild wind whirrs by, and the thick dark clouds in the sky are terrifyingly low. The whole world is as quiet as if it is about to enter the night, even a little gloomy.
A figure suddenly emerged from the wooden house, followed by the second and third ones.
Shoke and his group of six appeared again on the highway. At a fork in the highway, many bodies were still lying there.
A war man, dozens of guards, An Hai, Chu Hong...
Seeing these two familiar faces, Xiao Ke couldn't help but sigh. The experience of the Dead Castle in just a few hours felt like it had been a few years.
However, the current Shock is no longer the one that was a few hours ago.
A trip to the ancient castle of Dead almost interprets the entire process of Zhaoke's psychological transformation after entering the apocalypse.
"Let's go." Hu Wenbin patted Xiao Ke's shoulder and walked towards the other side of the fork. Mosen and others had already been waiting there.
Then Shoke remembered that Mosen and the others had been riding a disc-like thing and fell from the sky.
However, when I walked closer, Xiao Ke found that there was an iron pillar standing there on the disc. The iron pillar was six or seven meters long, and an iron chain was connected to the top of the iron pillar, which was inserted straight into the thick dark clouds. Perhaps because of the light and distance, when I saw the tool they were riding, I only saw a huge disc, but I didn't see the iron pillar and the iron chain on it. Xiao Ke thought at that time they were riding in a flying saucer.
"What is this?" Shoke looked at the iron chain inserted into the clouds with curiosity, like a rope that reached the sky.
"Elevator," Xiao Xiaomo saw Xiao Ke's expression of surprise, and couldn't help but tease again: "Can we fly from the sky?"
Isn't it? I clearly saw that they fell from the sky?
The disc under his feet suddenly moved and rose up quickly.
"elevator?"
Shoke suddenly thought of something, instantly widened his eyes and looked at his feet with an incredible face.
As the elevator climbed, the vast land under my feet was presented to me like a zoomed map.
The vast land, towering mountains, bottomless mountain streams, highways passing through the mountains and ridges, and even in the distance, in the sunny fields, you can see the edge of a huge city.
Then, the elevator took them and instantly entered the dark clouds.
Ten minutes later, the elevator passed through the dark clouds. Shoke raised his head and saw a scene that he would never forget for his life.
If Magellan hadn’t traveled around the world, tell him that the earth was round. If Galileo hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known that there was a solar system and a universe.
Shoke believed that he saw "Heaven" at this moment!
Not far above the dark clouds, the "Heaven" horizontal wall that can't be seen at first sight is there, just like the roof of a building with an extremely large area. However, this roof, this "Heaven" is entirely composed of rocks.
Directly above the elevator, a dark round hole appeared there, just like Sun Wukong used a golden cudgel to pierce a hole in the sky. The iron chain of the elevator they were riding on came from the hole in the black hole.
At that moment, Shoke even had the illusion that the earth above his head was the sky; and what he stepped on under his feet was the sky.
And that dark hole is the entrance to the Nine Netherworld Palace.
The elevator was still climbing quickly, taking them into the entrance to the underworld.
A light suddenly lit up on the elevator, illuminating the heavy darkness.
What they are in is a circular shaft. Looking upward, it is a deep wellhead. Looking downward, it is a ball of ink black.
Around them are solid rocks and soil, and even on this arc-shaped wall, you can see the traces left by drilling through the drill bits.
Xiao Ke turned around blankly, looked at everyone, and said, "I...I always thought..."
"Why?" Xiao Xiaomo looked up and looked around, then looked at Xiao Ke's distraught expression, and suddenly understood, and said, "Don't you think that the Ancient Dead Castle is on the ground, right?"
Shock nodded.
When Xiao Xiaomo and others saw him, they all showed strange expressions on their faces, and then... they all laughed out loud.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
After laughing for a while, she stopped the laughter. Xiao Xiaomo said with some teasing words: "I didn't expect that Xiao Ke, the red card master of **, would have such an inexplicable day." But she forgot that since she saw Xiao Ke, this young man had already been marked as a "landbuster" in her heart.
"The Ancient Castle of Dead is built at an underground depth of 8,000 meters." Jiang Jing couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Xiaomo continued: "We took a lot of effort to open this shaft and set up an elevator to get off."
"Eight...eight thousand meters underground?"
"Die... Ling... Ancient Castle?"
____________________________________________________
PS: Volume 1 is finally over. I can't help but want to say something.
According to the normal way of writing apocalypse, the beginning is usually with a big background, the protagonist's golden finger, and then a few primary monsters are arranged to give the protagonist experience. I know it is more risky to put the Undead Castle in the beginning. The scene is extremely dangerous, and it is difficult to arrange the traditional sense of the pleasure of stepping on people and slapping people in the face. The protagonist's ability and story control are more difficult. Due to the addition of many details and the 60-year difference in the era, some friends may feel a little tired or unable to keep up with the rhythm.
However, I think that letting the protagonist gradually understand the future world and experience some details of the future world from the most direct first perspective may be more intimate and realistic.
So far, "Mechanical Revolution" has almost 200,000 words, and it has been more than a month since its opening. The grades can only be considered very average, or to be precise, to be less. However, this book has been conceived for too long, and I want to stick to it. I hope everyone can stick to it with me!
Chapter completed!
