Hidden Corner

Chapter 531 Pewter 1

Across the lobby, Li Chengyi reached out and pressed the elevator button, but there was no movement.

 He sighed softly.

The black light flashed, flashing upward layer by layer.

 The first floor is empty, with overturned and broken tables, chairs and computers everywhere.

On the second floor, there was black dust of unknown composition everywhere, as if there was a fire.

the third floor.

 The fourth floor.

 Finally, on the twelfth floor, he found a server that seemed to still have a weak signal.

The surface of the rectangular white server is covered with all kinds of ferocious claw marks, as if it has experienced unimaginable attacks and injuries.

Standing in the empty server maintenance room, Li Chengyi gently patted the surface of the chassis.

 “Rose?”

 He said aloud.

Quiet.

no respond.

Li Chengyi's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he turned around to check elsewhere.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

At this moment, there was a faint crisp sound from the chassis, as if some component was making a sound.

The sound just seemed to be responding to him.

 “Yue Ji? Is that you?” Li Chengyi was stunned and asked again.

Kaka

 A slight rattling sound came from inside the chassis again.

“If it’s really you, then ring three times in a row.” Li Chengyi said quickly.

  Kakaka.

 Three beeps sounded in rapid succession.

Li Chengyi finally had light in his eyes.

I quickly searched around, and after a while, I found a camera that seemed to be in good condition, and I found a place behind the server to plug it in.

　　嗗.

 The camera flashes blue light quickly and rotates a few times.

 “Restarting, please wait.”

Li Chengyi waited patiently for a while, and it took about ten minutes before the camera was restarted.

　　A familiar female voice finally sounded from the attached speaker.

“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Li Chengyi. I am the daughter of Rose and belong to the emergency backup system. You can call me Qiangwei.”

 The female voice uses exactly the voice of Skittles.

This familiar yet somewhat distant voice reminded Li Chengyi of the scene when he was in Diyue.

"What happened? What happened to the earth and the moon in the years I left? Where are the others!? Where are they?" He was eager to know the answer.

 Seven years have passed. For such a long time, he has been trapped in the blind spot of Panguang, unable to break away. It was not until the world actively rejected him that he was able to escape smoothly.

And the dead man can only sustain the curse for two years at most, which may have already caused other people in Destiny Garden to

Qiangwei paused for a moment, and the electronic light flashed rapidly.

"In the five months since you left, team members have successively faced increasingly difficult and dangerous dead-end tests. The first one that couldn't support it was the gantry crane. With Paine's advice and help, he finally chose to take the risk. Enter a blind corner called Cloud City to hide from your certain fate."

“Then Mr. Brown also made a similar move, but he did not tell him the name of the blind spot he chose to hide in.”

“On the ninth month after you left, Miss Daxiong finally transferred all group authority and quietly left Mingyuan without a trace.”

"In the tenth month, the owner of Skittles also faced a terrifying dead corner that he could not survive. He decided to copy his consciousness and memory, completely transform his body, and turn into a silicon-based life. He tried to avoid the dead corner. But the attempt failed and he also chose to enter the dead corner. ”

“In the eleventh month, the Dead End Riots began. The number of Dead Ends increased significantly, and the entrances were directly materialized, appearing all over the binary stars. They were no longer accessible only to those in the Dead Ends, and anyone could see them with the naked eye.

 A large number of monsters poured out from it, the city collapsed, and the army was unable to resist, resulting in heavy casualties. At the time of crisis, Yuanying came forward to join forces with the Twin Star Government to form a coalition government, mobilizing the high-end capabilities of both parties and entering the largest blind spot in reality, and never made a sound again. "

“In the fifteenth month, the high-level headquarters of the Double Star Royal Family suffered heavy casualties in a blind-corner monster attack. All high-level human beings were wiped out, leaving only sporadic resistance forces. They struggled to use the remaining cities as garrison points to resist the monster attacks.”

"According to statistics, more than 90% of the electronic equipment in Double Star has been eroded by some kind of electronic virus dead zone monster and cannot be used. The basic physical rules of Double Star have changed, the planet environment has undergone major changes, and some incomprehensible mutations are suspected to have occurred. A large number of weapons and equipment have failed ”

“After the thirty-fifth month, the erosion of the dead zone slowed down, and the number of humans was reduced to about 10% of the original number. The remaining humans relied on the newly perfected automated artificial intelligence to produce materials.”

“The main body of Rose in the 37th month was infected by some mysterious electronic virus. Its own database was damaged, its simulated personality was damaged, and it fell into a deep sleep.”

"These are most of the main events that happened after you left. After that, according to the instructions of the main body, I lost all the cameras and sound-producing equipment, and in order to avoid attracting the attention of some special electronic viruses, I had to hibernate in the ruins of various places. Among the equipment, this damaged server is just one of my dormant spots.”

 Qiangwei's voice instantly seemed to pull Li Chengyi into that tragic period when he was not present.

He had no idea that so many things would happen after he left.

 “So, where are my family members?” He paused and asked with a hint of caution.

"During the final evacuation of the Mingyuan Group, they lost most of their leaders and had to promptly use the savior Paine as the temporary leader. Under the leadership of Paine and the assistance of his boss Syndra, most members of the group successfully evacuated the station and entered the backup underground Base. After that, the information was lost and the air was filled with unknown interference energy, so it was impossible to contact remotely." Qiangwei answered.

  Dead spots have emerged on a large scale and become so substantial that even ordinary people can see them.

Li Chengyi knew how terrifying this scene was just thinking about it. The despair and fear faced by the people in the blind spot were encountered by ordinary people without even having time to adapt. Such a situation is simply a natural disaster!

 Many dead-end monsters are not afraid of any weapon damage at all. Once killed, they will become stronger and resurrected. Special restraint methods must be found to effectively limit them.

 “Wait! Paine? Didn’t die in the end?!” Li Chengyi was suddenly stunned.

Under the curse of the two-year limit of the dead-end man, Paine actually didn't die? Two years is twenty-four months, but Paine was still there until the group finally withdrew?

"Yes, if Mr. Paine hadn't found a suitable refuge corner for many people, I'm afraid the situation would have been even more difficult to control." Qiangwei replied. "Now to answer your question, there are three members of the Li family who evacuated Suiyang City together under the protection of the group and are missing."

“So, do you know where the underground base is?” Li Chengyi asked quickly.

  “There is no record.”

“.” Li Chengyi thought for a moment, put one hand on the server, and the Qiankun Bag instantly contained it.

As a standard fairy world in Panguang, there are still storage bags. The sword bag is actually a variant of the storage bag. However, this kind of treasure is very expensive and the materials are extremely difficult to find. Generally, only the top masters have the financial resources. And accumulation can get one.

This time Taoist Holy Spirit gave the biggest gift to Li Chengyi.

 It is said to be the largest, but in fact the space inside is only the size of a 100-square-meter room with a height of five meters.

 It’s good to use for storing miscellaneous items.

 Putting away the Rose Server, Li Chengyi continued to check the higher levels. This time he was much faster, but unfortunately there was no other gain.

On the last floor, he put down a dusty document in his hand, stood in front of the broken and leaky floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the entire Suiyang City.

 Suiyang inside the huge black shield, seen from a height, only a piece of devastation remains.

 In the streets, there are some scattered living people, like zombies, walking staggeringly.

Unmanned automatic patrol aircraft fly over the sky from time to time, and occasionally there are people sitting in the aircraft, but you can also see it through the window. The faces of these passengers are almost the same numbness, hollowness, and occasionally fanaticism and distortion.

 It seems as if all hope of life has been lost.

 A country that has lost even its highest authority has been destroyed, without security guarantees and without basic order. The result will naturally be chaos.

Li Chengyi sighed, and the black light flashed towards the place where the most people gathered in the city.

From a high place, you can see that the building has the most complete appearance and the most patches, and there are many people gathered around it. It is obviously the target he is looking for.

Black light flashed, and Li Chengyi appeared directly under the tallest patch building.

 A large group of thin people standing in line were crowded around.

They hold broken and twisted metal bowls in their hands, waiting for the robot in front to distribute food.

 Portions of steaming minced meat soup and porridge were poured into the extended bowl.

No one paid any attention to Li Chengyi's appearance in the corner.

 The people here seem to not care about anything anymore and just live numbly.

Perhaps it’s because we saw too many anomalies after the Dead End erupted.

Li Chengyi quickly entered the building through the small door on the side.

Silver robots came and went in the building, busy preparing food, pouring various powders of different colors into a large pot. These were not minced meat or rice at all. The final mixture turned out to be minced meat. The look and smell of soup and porridge.

Li Chengyi frowned slightly and walked up the stairs, checking each level.

 Soon, the living person in charge was found on the fifth floor.

 The information given by Qiangwei is a bit lagging behind, and the information after it is shut down and dormant needs to be supplemented and improved.

Two short-haired men with fat heads and big ears, wearing auxiliary exoskeleton equipment, were slumped on the sofa, eating snacks and chatting.

 Seeing Li Chengyi come up, the two of them glanced at him lazily.

“If you want something to eat, go down there. We are just maintenance staff and we have enough to eat. Don’t bother me.” A fat man said casually.

Li Chengyi saw the hollowness in the eyes of the two men, stepped forward, grabbed the chest armor of one of them, and lifted him up with one hand.

“I just came back from space. Tell me, where has Mingyuan Group gone?”

"Huh? Space? Don't be kidding. Brother, I'm just a nobody. Mingyuan Group evacuated, taking only the most important elites and talents with it. We are just goods left to die. Do you want to catch up? Give up. Can’t catch up.”

The fat man wiped his nose nonchalantly and said with a smile.

 “Where have they gone?” Li Chengyi asked in a deep voice.

"Went to other planets. A big starship sent by the royal family took everyone away. Hahahaha. But the spaceship was also attacked during the jump start on the way. No one knows they went there now. Where." The fat man said with a smile.

"You have family up there, right? Don't worry about them, just worry about yourself. Every once in a while, monsters will rush out from the blind corner to hunt. You will die, I will die, and maybe everyone will die tomorrow. Die! Hahahaha!”

Another fat man said loudly with a nervous smile.

These two people have gone crazy.

Li Chengyi silently threw the man to the ground and watched him slowly trying to get up on the ground, but he was too fat to stand up.

Stepping out of the door, he carefully sensed the location of the flower beads, and his body was quickly covered in a full set of wisteria flowers and scales.

 Shadow flash.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

 He disappeared instantly.
