"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The robot still only made an electronic sound that Li Teng couldn't understand.

After the set departure time arrived, the subway picked up speed and quickly left the platform, and the circular robot disappeared from the car window.

Li Teng sat down on the bench, let out a long breath, and then thought about the current situation and analyzed the possible next steps.

From the map, the launch base is quite far from the laboratory.

It takes half an hour to get there by subway.

Li Teng was very worried that the subway would encounter obstacles halfway and be crashed or stop.

I was also worried that the subway would run out of power and stopped halfway.

Fortunately, nothing we were worried about happened.

Finally, the subway safely arrived at the station with the launch base written on it.

The subway stopped and the doors opened automatically.

Li Teng walked out of the car door and came to the platform outside.

The platform here is equally empty.

The whole world was dead silent.

There is still a long way to go from the subway station to the launch base.

Judging from the map, this section of road is about 500 meters long.

There is also a bridge more than 100 meters long in the middle.

After walking out of the subway station, the sky outside was still gray-red, and the ground was still gray.

I don’t know whether a nuclear war occurred or an asteroid hit the earth, causing such a situation.

But these are not things Li Teng needs to consider.

What he worries about most now is Anna who is staying at the launch base.

Not long after, Li Teng arrived at the bridge.

However……

More than 20 meters in the middle of the bridge were broken.

Below is an extremely fast river.

Of course, it can no longer be called river water.

It's more accurate to say it's mud.

Looking at the mud flow below, Li Teng couldn't help but frown.

If he hadn't worn this protective suit, Li Teng might have chosen to risk swimming this distance.

But now wearing such a heavy metal protective suit, Li Teng felt that if he jumped into this mud flow, there would be only one outcome.

That means sinking inside and never getting up again.

If you can't cross this river, you can't get to the launch center.

What should I do?

Li Teng walked up and down along the shore, looking around to see if there was anywhere else he could pass.

Very disappointed.

No.

The long river has no ends left and right.

The shore is covered with gray volcanic ash everywhere.

As a last resort, Li Teng finally decided to risk going down to the river to test the situation.

The river is mainly in the middle section, which is about ten meters wide and very fast. On both sides near the shore, the river is not very fast.

Li Teng carefully put one foot in.

It turned out that the muddy water on the shore was very shallow and there was hard ground underneath.

So, he groped his way slowly towards the middle of the river.

The foot that has been stretched out must touch the ground and confirm that it will not sink before moving the other foot.

In this way, Li Teng carefully came to the middle of the river, the section with the most turbulent flow.

After arriving here, the depth of the muddy water had reached his waist.

The heavy metal protective suit made it impossible for him to swim, but it also had the advantage of allowing him to stand firm in the rushing muddy water.

Of course, you must carefully adjust your direction of travel.

If you are not careful, once you are knocked down by mud and water, it will be very difficult to get up again.

Li Teng continued to walk toward the deepest part of the river, and the muddy water gradually submerged up to his chest.

A powerful thrust wanted to push him down at any time, and even a heavy metal protective suit seemed weak in the face of this thrust.

Li Teng could only change direction, face the direction of the muddy current, tilt his body, and then walk sideways to the other side.

The muddy water gradually submerged up to Li Teng's neck, and his feet felt a little soft. He wondered if there would be a deep pit or trap below.

Finally, Li Teng crossed the upper line of the river, and the muddy water began to gradually become shallower again, falling from his neck to his chest.

Li Teng took a long breath, and then moved sideways again...

This time, it was empty! There is a pit below!

Li Teng's body suddenly lost his balance and was pushed downstream by the rushing muddy water.

He tried hard to stabilize his body and stand up again, but it was impossible. His heavy body was rising and falling in the muddy water, and he was completely at the mercy of the muddy water.

After floating for a while, Li Teng felt that the ground under his feet began to become shallower. He tried again and finally stood up.

As luck would have it, he was washed into the shallow water on the other side by the fast river water.

Taking a long breath, Li Teng stepped forward, slowly but firmly walking towards the other side step by step.

Finally arrived at the other side.

Through the gray volcanic ash in the sky, the vague outline of a huge building in the distance can be seen clearly.

That's the launch base.
Chapter completed!
