Chapter 294 Zero Element Center (asking for monthly tickets)

Boom!

The moment the elevator door closed, the entire elevator shaft was shaken violently.

Lin Xian used his special powers to control the locked elevator and started it to move downwards. A smell of annihilation mold buried deep underground rose into the sky.

"What on earth was that just now? Why are we all hallucinating all of a sudden?"

Luo Yang asked with fear on his face at this time. Several people in the group were all strong enough at the violent level or above, but no one could react in time and they were all hit.

Although it seemed like a moment, in fact more than two hours had passed. If those human-head fungi and fungus corpses had rushed in at that time, they would have been wiped out.

"The purpose of this mycelium is to parasitize. Killing is not the primary purpose."

Ding Junyi analyzed at this time: "And it seems that these hyphae are more interested in living things than mechanical energy."

Lin Xian's face was solemn: "Even you can be hallucinated even if you are wearing full-body armor. How can we defend against those parasitic spores?"

Ding Junyi looked at him and said, "I have checked the brown-yellow fungal spores just now. The particle size is about 2-5 microns. Our gas masks are completely resistant to it. The air circulation system of all current federal standard train carriages can intercept 0.3 micron particles. Unless the circulation system is damaged or a carriage is broken, you don't have to worry too much."

On the other side, Ning Jing nodded after hearing this: "Many trains have modified the air tightness and air circulation system of the train compartments in order to deal with the invasion of darkness. We also have it, but if it is broken, there is no guarantee..."

Luo Yang's face was full of worry. This was their first time using a train vehicle, and they had just returned from a great battle in Xilan City. This issue really made him unsure.

"That's right, how can we defend against this thing?" Kiki frowned at this time, worried about Chen Sixuan and the others.

"There's no point in worrying. We can only hope that the organization in this Crimson World has some useful methods. Otherwise, we can only go back and retreat to Xilan City."

Lin Xian said, although that's what he said, but think about it, it's not likely, after finally clearing the mark from Xilan City, how could he run back again, wouldn't that be a dead end.

At this moment, Lin Xian was under great pressure. The track defects of the Doomsday Train were fully exposed at this moment. If it were a car, it could have been diverted and bypassed long ago, but now nearly 22 people on Train 4 were trapped in the spore mist, with no way out and once again in a dead end.

Woohoo~
Lin Xian controlled the elevator to descend rapidly. Along the way, his mechanical heart could feel that the elevator car was constantly breaking a large number of mycelium roots, and he felt a sense of falling from time to time.

Finally, the elevator arrived at the core test area on the 5th underground floor. Ding~ The elevator door opened, and it was dark outside. Lin Xian immediately turned on the lighting on the drone. In an instant, what came into view was that the entire external passage and corridor were covered with mycelium vines. Even the floor and walls were invisible. If it weren't for the vaguely visible shape of the corridor, everyone would even think that this corridor was the inside of the esophagus of some monster.

"Why are there more and more underground?" Kiki asked
"There's no one here. This research institute must have been completely destroyed." Luo Yang also said.

Lin Xian was operating the elevator while scanning the mechanical feedback in the building below with the Mechanical Heart. He thought that the people from the Crimson World in the Fire Book would hide below, but he did not detect any movement. The opening of the elevator door confirmed his guess.

"Are we looking in the wrong place?"

"Probably not." Lin Xian said, "The deputy captain of the Night Blade Team mentioned that there was a battle with the people from the Crimson World underground. It should be here, but we are too late. This place has been completely covered by mycelium."

"What should I do?"

Lin Xian looked solemn at this time. The light from the drone made the mycelium in the corridor seem to undergo some subtle changes. He knew that he would not stay here for long, so he said, "Kiki, take us to search here and see if there is anything we can find. Then we will leave immediately."

"Yeah." Kiki nodded, "Everyone move closer together."

After she finished speaking, she immediately grabbed everyone and flew into the corridor. With the help of the drone's lights and scanning array, the group quickly shuttled through the underground core laboratory.

The entire underground core laboratory area has been covered with a large amount of mycelium. The ground and walls are occupied by various mycelium vines, and various mushroom spores are hung in a string. The crowd searched all the way, but found nothing. No one was seen in the laboratory except the human fungi adsorbed on the mycelium walls.

At this time, everyone searched all the way to the last area, which was a special passage corridor. The corridor was extremely long, as if it extended to a special area.

"There was a large-scale fighting here."

During the scan with Ding Junyi's Black Hawk Armor, a lot of discarded weapons were immediately discovered under the mycelium on the ground.

Lin Xian also discovered it at this time. His mechanical scan covered the mycelium carpet and quickly swallowed up dozens of weapons.

"These weapons are of mixed standards. Most of them should not belong to this kind of large organization. They should be the survivors' team."

After finding the clue, several people immediately searched deep into the corridor. Before long, they reached the end. Under the light of the drone, a heavy radiation-proof door appeared, which was covered with a large amount of mycelium.

[Confidential area, entry is strictly prohibited]

Kiki pulled off the mycelium vine, and everyone saw the biochemical logo on the alloy door, as if some special research was being conducted inside.

"Team Lin."

Just as Lin Xian was about to use his mechanical ability to open the door, Ning Jing stopped him and said, "This passage is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The team of survivors must be trapped here. Be careful of ambushes."

"I know."

After Lin Xian finished speaking, he directly held up an AT force field shield in front of him, and immediately activated the Mechanical Heart to control the explosion-proof door. The sophisticated protective lock was useless in front of Lin Xian's supernatural power. In less than a minute, the mechanical scan was completed, and under the drive, the alloy latches inside were retracted row by row, and then the circular explosion-proof door slowly opened.

squeak~
Just as the explosion-proof door was opened, a slight sound of wind was heard from the back, as if there was a large space at the back.

Lin Xian immediately controlled the drone to fly out and found that there seemed to be a huge underground space behind him.

“No biothermal sources were found, but there is a lot of mycelium coverage.”

As everyone walked out of the passage, Ding Junyi immediately scanned the area with the Black Hawk armor's radar system.

"What is this place?"

"It looks like an underground platform?"

As soon as Kiki came out, she immediately saw a control panel not far away. She immediately walked over and connected it with her mobile terminal, and in a few seconds, the lights of the entire platform were lit up.

When the lights were turned on, everyone immediately realized that this was a small underground rail platform. The platform was filled with protective wooden boxes of various large experimental instruments, as well as various equipment and supplies. There was also an area with many metal cages stacked up. When the lights were turned on, they immediately saw the corpses of various dead creatures, cats, dogs, humans, zombies, and even the snow monster that had been seen in Xilan City before.

In addition, a small white locomotive is parked on the platform, dragging three tightly guarded high-tech carriages, quietly parked on the track, and the surrounding walls are covered with a large number of mycelium vines.

"Lin Xian, this track leads directly to a place called [Zero Element Center] 5 kilometers away, which may be the underground secret research base of this organization." At this time, Kiki obtained the path information from the terminal system and said to Lin Xian,
“In addition, this track actually directly connects the Metro Line 1 in Ekin and the tourist train track in Yanmarsh!”

As she spoke, she looked up at Lin Xian with a hint of excitement in her eyes: "In other words, this underground rail line can go directly through the Yijin Canyon and out of the city!"

Lin Xian's face changed when he heard this. He immediately came over and took the mobile terminal from Kiki's hand to check the distribution of this secret track line. The more he looked, the more eager he became.

"You're right. If we leave the city from here, there's no need to build 22 kilometers of track. We can just transfer from the open-air subway line on Jinkui Street to the underground track and go here!"

"Jinkui Street?" Ning Jing was also surprised and said, "I looked at the map, it seems to be less than two kilometers away from us!"

"So...what does this mean?" Luo Yang looked strange: "We are going to drive the train into the city streets and then turn onto the subway track???"

"Why not?" Lin Xian looked serious, thinking in his heart: "It's just a temporary track anyway. Two kilometers is easier than 22 kilometers. At this time, why worry about the traffic law?"

"The only thing we have to worry about now is whether the track is clear." Ding Junyi said at this time

Lin Xian nodded: "Let's go to this place called [Zero Element Center] first. Judging from the situation of this underground research institute being eroded by hyphae, perhaps the organization of this Crimson World has already evacuated. If so, we will split into two groups, check the track line, and then drive the joint train out of the city through the underground track line to avoid the spore fog."

"Yeah." Ning Jing agreed at this time: "This plan is good, it can save a lot of effort."

"Then let's act quickly."

Woohoo~

Two drones with lights were constantly searching the entire platform for the situation. A group of people walked down the platform with full preparation. Lin Xian began to scan and control the train. Soon he started the long-silent rail train and opened the door.

With a click, the door opened, and the interior was bright and clean. As soon as everyone got on the train, they discovered that the design of this underground rail train was very strange. The first carriage was a luxurious business class carriage, and each seat was like a first-class cabin on an airplane. There was also a holographic screen in front of the seat. As Lin Xian started the train's system, the corporate technology advertisements inside began to play again.

The two carriages at the back were not used for passengers. They contained separate isolation cabins and frames for transport equipment, etc. At this time, they were empty and the ground was a mess.

As soon as he got in the car, Kiki was operating the mobile terminal and said, "Lin Xian, I can't find any information about the Zero Element Center, and I can't connect to the system over there. I don't know what place it is."

"Well, I think it might be the same as the underground research institute in Qingshui Town. Judging from the fire book left by the Night Blade convoy, there must be people from that organization here. Everyone, be careful."

air!
Lin Xian directly operated the rail locomotive to start moving. The wheels rolled over the mycelium roots and vines clinging to the track, making a tearing sound, and then slowly accelerated towards the depths of the track. "These mycelium should have spread underground in the past few days." Ding Junyi looked at the mycelium vines in the passage outside the window and said, "There was a large-scale battle in that corridor before. If there were these mycelium, it would definitely cause a huge explosion."

Luo Yang looked at her and said, "Then Professor Ding, do you mean that those people might not dare to fire at us?"

"It's at least a hidden danger." Ding Junyi said, "If there is a firefight underground and these mycelium burn and explode, we won't even have a chance to escape."

Wow.

The rail train continued to accelerate. There were track lights in this special underground passage. Through the window, one could clearly feel a slight slope. It seemed that the depth of the track was slowly increasing. As the train moved forward, the mycelium in the passage became much less.

At this time, the passage ahead began to open up, and a spacious and luxurious special platform appeared. A white sign with lights read "Zero Element Center". The entire platform had extremely high protection standards, automated loaders and unloaders, personnel disinfection rooms, defense posts, etc. It looked like it had to go through layers of inspections, but as the train drove into the platform, Lin Xian and the others did not see any figures, it was empty.

The huge platform has a very long loading and unloading line. As the train stopped, Lin Xian's team got off the train. A hollow negative pressure suddenly hit their eardrums. All the inspection areas were empty, and the passing lights above were flashing green, as strict as some kind of underground nuclear defense facility.

"How did this pharmaceutical group build such a large rail platform and underground facilities underground?" Luo Yang looked curious.

"You're surprised too early." Kiki had seen the Foundation's Qingshui Town test site and underground research institute, and was now immune to this kind of thing. She pointed to an automatic explosion-proof door at the end of the platform and said, "Believe it or not, there must be some weird laboratory behind this."

Lin Xian had a solemn look on his face, and kept looking around at the silent platform. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that as everyone walked onto the platform, the countless surveillance cameras on the platform actually began to move along with them!

someone!

Lin Xian's eyes immediately narrowed, and he shouted to everyone, "Be careful!"

Chi!
Sure enough, before he finished his words, more than a dozen small automatic machine turrets suddenly appeared from the surveillance cameras in several corners and behind the pillars. The red laser dots quickly captured the target, and the next moment, they opened fire!
Bang bang bang bang bang! !

In an instant, Kiki reacted and used his telekinesis to push everyone away. The next moment, a violent metal jet hit the place where everyone had just stood. The floor exploded instantly, stray bullets flew everywhere, and the huge sound of gunfire rang out deafeningly in the empty underground platform!

"Get out of the way!"

In an instant, everyone was facing a great enemy. Kiki immediately used the telekinesis shield to block the shattered brick debris and stray bullets in front of him, and raised his hand to tear down all the three automatic machine guns in action. Huo Ge, who was flying backwards, was no longer restricted by the mycelium, and his hands shot out several rapid fire beams. At the same time, Ning Jing and Luo Yang both took action. Lin Xian's mechanical ability had been deployed at this time, quickly covering all the machine guns and surveillance around him, and directly short-circuited and shut down. In just one encounter, more than a dozen automatic machine guns were shut down.

Just when everyone thought the problem was solved, the automatic door at the end of the platform suddenly opened, and Lin Xian's high-speed mechanical heart immediately noticed the sound of a mechanism in the dark passage. His face changed, and he immediately rushed forward and raised his left hand to protect everyone. The transparent AT force field light shield had been deployed!

shhhhhh!
In an instant, four plasma arc pulses ejected from the inside of the channel and directly hit Lin Xian's AT force field shield. Sparks flew and a current of energy vibrated on the platform.

"There's an ambush!?"

"and many more!"

At this time, Lin Xian heard a very subtle engine sound, which seemed to be the same as that of the PX-05 robot. His mechanical heart moved immediately, and the mechanical scan covered the inside of the channel, and captured four fast-moving targets flying out of the channel.

buzzing.

The next moment, four black spherical drones quickly flew out from the passage. They formed a four-corner formation in the air and reacted extremely quickly. As soon as they rushed out, they immediately captured the direction where Lin Xian and his companions were dodging. They rotated their positions, and the weapon-grade plasma pulse cannon in the center aimed directly at the few people. The sound of energy gathering rang out!
Woo!
"Be careful!" Kiki saw this and immediately used her telekinesis to capture the four drones. When she was about to crush them, she heard Lin Xian shouting at her.

"Wait, leave it to me!"

Lin Xian interrupted Kiki's attack. His mechanical ability had already covered these drones. Scanning and driving were running at the same time, and he immediately captured the main control core of the drones.

Uh...

The next moment, the weapon energy of the four spherical drones was all cancelled, the engines made a hum, and they fell to the ground quickly as if they had lost energy.

Lin Xian's eyes flashed with supernatural power, and with the activation of his mechanical heart, he subdued the four drones in just a few breaths.

[Mechanical scan successful, obtain Thunder Falcon 2000 attack drone]

"Done." Lin Xian said to Kiki, "Check if there is any useful information, and help me copy the control program directly."

"Good."

Kiki used her telekinesis to grab a drone, forcibly disconnected the data cable, and then used a mobile terminal to hack into the program. Soon, she shook her head.

"It's an instruction from the intelligent defense system, nothing else." She pressed the confirm button, directly copied the drone program and restarted it. After that, these drones could be directly controlled by Lin Xian using his mechanical abilities.

After completing it, Lin Xian stretched out his hand and controlled the four Lei Falcon drones on the ground. They started up again, slowly rose into the air, and flew in front of Lin Xian.

This flying drone is only the size of a basketball. It is covered with a certain amount of armor and equipped with a Hall flight propulsion engine. The plasma arc pulse cannon inside it looks very threatening. From the blueprint just scanned, it can be seen that the energy capacitor used in this thing is very advanced, and the pulse cannon it fires is much more powerful than ordinary rifle bullets.

"It should be that the intelligent defense system here has been activated. We have been identified as invaders." Ding Junyi said while looking at the drone.

"Phew, that was a close call. This thing is so fast. I almost got ambushed!" Luo Yang let out a long breath, then walked forward, took a look, and exclaimed: "This drone is so sophisticated that it can actually use plasma arc pulse cannons. The energy storage system must be something special. It seems to be much more advanced than the Interstellar Army's Falcon."

"Thanks to Captain Lin's mechanical ability." Ning Jing's face was serious at this time: "It seems that the people here have set their sights on us."

“There may be more means of defense than these.”

Lin Xian raised his hand and waved, directly controlling two reconnaissance drones to fly towards the passage behind the automatic door. Instantly, the sensing system inside detected the movement, and the lights in the passage began to light up layer by layer. Lin Xian pushed the force field shield and looked into the passage. At the same time, the drones sent back the scanning information inside, and no traces of living people were found.

The design of the entire passage is very strange, with light translucent on all sides, and it does not look like an ordinary passage at all.

"This passage is so deep." Kiki leaned forward to look inside. "I think there must be an ambush."

At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly felt a surge of energy and immediately pressed Kiki back behind him.

"move back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light-transmitting passage on all sides suddenly emitted a high-frequency flash of light, and dozens of blue ultra-high temperature plasma beam line cutting arrays suddenly appeared from the end of the passage, and then cut directly through the entire passage at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, Lin Xian's two reconnaissance drones were immediately cut into pieces, falling to the ground and constantly sparking, and the cuts were still red and melting!

"hiss!"

"What's this!?"

Seeing this scene, everyone's face changed immediately. The attack happened too quickly, and there was not even 1 second of reaction time. If Lin Xian hadn't let the drone explore the way first, I'm afraid everyone would have been chopped to pieces.

"This is not an ordinary passage." Lin Xian said with a heavy face.

His mechanical ability scanned directly in the passage, and as the scan unfolded, Lin Xian's brows immediately frowned, his face full of disbelief.

In a short time, his mechanical ability scanned the vital signs/gait scanner, infrared thermal detector, vibration sensor and thousands of various monitoring origins. At the top of the tunnel, Lin Xian also found 16 Thunder Falcon drones lying dormant, all activated and in attack mode. The most important thing is that an ultra-high temperature plasma beam cutting array is set up in the tunnel, and explosives are also set up outside the tunnel. Below the tunnel is a bottomless suspended area...

"Good fellow..." Lin Xian couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "There are at least five kinds of deadly traps and self-destruct programs in this passage, not including drones. In addition to the various scanners inside, the defense level is comparable to the highest military level."

"Ah?" Luo Yang's eyes widened when he heard this: "Why does a research institute need such a high level of defense?"

"Everything has its own cause." Lu Xingchen crossed his arms and said calmly, "It must be something incredible if you go to so much trouble."

Ning Jing nodded: "This kind of defense shouldn't be used to deal with zombies or strange entities, right?"

"No." Ding Junyi said at this time: "The purpose of this level of scanning is generally to verify the identity of the person, and illegal personnel are absolutely not allowed to enter. If there is a self-destruct program, it should be used to keep something very important."

While they were discussing, Kiki and Lin Xian had already acted in tacit agreement. Lin Xian used his mechanical ability to find the hidden data pipeline in the channel. He then covered and scanned the remaining 16 drones one by one, and then forced them to fly out of the channel. Kiki then connected them to the mobile terminal to copy the program.
At the same time, Lin Xian's mechanical heart continued to cover the entire channel, began to shut down sensors and scanners, took explosives offline, and directly shut down the ultra-high temperature plasma beam cutting array at the rear.

Although this channel was full of high-tech and killing weapons, and was also equipped with a self-destruction program, it was not a problem in front of Lin Xian. His mechanical ability was the nemesis of all mechanical devices. After only twenty minutes, all the defense programs in the entire channel had been offline, and the weapons were directly destroyed and short-circuited by Lin Xian. This almost foolproof defense detection channel that was built at a huge cost was simply misfired.

However, Lin Xian was still a little worried. After he had completely settled the issue, he created two new reconnaissance drones and flew them all the way to the end. After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Xian led everyone to quickly cross the passage.

When the automatic door at the end opened automatically under Lin Xian's control, what came into view was a large monitoring hall, which was not only filled with various high-tech instruments, but most importantly, the inside of the hall was a spherical ceiling that was half the size of a football field. The entire laboratory was built around this hemisphere.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the hall. On a high robotic arm, there was a robotic head with a female face, which was looking at everyone with a smile.

The binocular focusing module of the robot head focused on Lin Xian, and then a holographic projection began to cover the robot head, presenting a beautiful human face model. The next moment, she opened her mouth and spoke to Lin Xian in a voice with ionized magnetic sound.
"Hello, Lin Xian."

At that moment, Lin Xian's eyes froze. Although this face had been holographically digitized, he immediately recognized it. This face was the mysterious woman he had seen many times in his dreams.

Chu Yan!
