Chapter 377 Alien Battlefield (6) Entering the Shelved Facility

At 729 kilometers of Yitiantian Canyon, on the edge of an unknown lake.

"Cross this lake and then head northwest in about 15 jumps, or three hours of walking, and we're almost there."

"Generally speaking, most of these secret facilities should be underground, but the contractor's facility is on the mountain."

"It's possible that they hollowed out the entire mountain, or more likely, the outer shell of the mountain is just a disguise for the facilities. With their level of technology, I think anything can happen. They don't need to hide their secrets underground like humans do."

After annihilating the sentinels, Han Zu and Gloria quickly left the canyon and continued to move towards the abandoned facilities. However, after that, they encountered several tracking attempts, but this time there were no combat units, just some small tracking aircraft. Using Gloria's pulse, they destroyed a lot of these tracking aircraft, but the people or forces that controlled these tracking aircraft seemed to know where their destination was and always appeared on their route in advance. In order to get rid of these tails, the two left a tracking aircraft behind. With the help of Gloria's radiation pulse and the contractor's equipment, they successfully hacked into the aircraft's operating protocol, and then produced some false images, making the aircraft think that the two of them changed their destination and went in the completely opposite direction.

"But we still have to be prepared. Since we cannot rule out the possibility that the people tracking us know where our destination is, then they are most likely heading towards the location of the facility, or even already there."

"We are close enough to the facility to begin searching the interior of the facility using the contractor's equipment."

"Have you found the transmission node or transmission device?"

"Not yet. You're right, they hollowed out the mountain. And the one next to it, and the one next to it, and..."

"Okay, okay, where are you putting this doll? How big is the specific facility?"

"It's about the same size as City C, probably a little bigger."

"Oh, and C.. what the hell?!"

Gloria sent the three-dimensional drawings of the facility scanned by the equipment to Han Zu. After a brief confirmation, Han Zu found that Gloria was right. This facility was indeed ridiculously large. In fact, as long as they crossed the lake in front of the two people, they would have reached the facility. The equipment on the two people also found multiple entrances to the facility.

In fact, according to the current situation, multiple city entrances are actually more appropriate.

"Is this place a facility or a city? Why did the contractor build such a big place here? We found the contractor's hometown? That shouldn't be the case. According to the information we found on the contractor's network, shouldn't their home planet, or hometown or base, be in a galaxy of a now-extinguished star? This bright yellow thing in the sky, it can't be a light bulb, right?"

"You're not in the right state. What's wrong with you, Han Zu?"

Gloria noticed that Han Zu was abnormal. He was a little too excited and started to talk a lot. His mood swings were also obvious, and he began to show obvious impatience.

Normally, Han Zu would answer basic questions without specific requirements, or in simple communication situations, and his way of speaking would be very concise. Due to his own personality, he rarely talked nonsense unless the situation required it, such as acting. But the situation was completely different now. There was no one around except Gloria and Han Zu himself.

Moreover, for a guy with a very unstable mental state, Han Zu is surprisingly stable in his emotions. Although he may seem moody and out of control to outsiders, if you stay with him for a long time, it is easy to know why his emotions change, such as Gloria, who has been with Han Zu for nearly four months.

If other situations are ruled out, there is still one possibility left. Fortunately, Gloria has experienced this situation several times during this period of time, that is, there is an abnormality in the energy reaction in Han Zu's body.

According to Gloria's experience, if there are no other factors affecting Han Zu's emotions and behaviors, it is probably because his energy response has increased abnormally. Excessive energy concentration will affect Han Zu's thinking ability, causing him to gradually reduce the importance of thinking and gradually start to rely entirely on instinct. Although Gloria has not seen the worst case, it is absolutely impossible to let the current situation continue to change in that direction. After all, on this planet that is always targeted by a planet erasing device, it is definitely not a good thing to let a guy with an unstable mental state act according to his instincts.

Gloria squatted down and put her hand into the lake water in front of her. It was very cold, probably only in the single digits.

"Han Zu."

"What's wrong?"

"boom!"

"Pfft!!"

After kicking Han Zu into the cold lake, Gloria also jumped into the lake while Han Zu was in a daze, put her hands on Han Zu floating on the lake, and used the contractor's equipment to check his various conditions. Sure enough, many abnormal situations occurred.

"Energy surplus: 439%"

"The conduction velocity is continuing to improve, and comparisons are ongoing..."

"The current energy transmission efficiency is three times the basic efficiency."

The surface of Han Zu's body was now glowing in the form of pulses. Although she had not seen this happen too many times, Gloria knew why it happened. It was because the energy in Han Zu's body exceeded the basic maximum value. The glowing thing was the surplus energy that had lost its restraints and began to leak out. Although for Gloria, this leaked surplus energy could recharge herself, for other creatures, this energy that lost Han Zu's control and conversion was no different from a bomb.

"Big guy, now transfer all your energy into the ability to fly."

"I can't fly again, you..."

"Snapped!"

"Why so many questions? Just do it!"

"Buzz~~!!!"

Han Zu realized at this time that he had a problem. He suppressed his gradually uncontrollable emotions and began to transfer all his energy to the ability to fly. When his body changed from floating on the water to standing in the water, the large area of ​​the lake with him as the center began to vibrate violently. With the continuous consumption of energy, Han Zu floated in the air above the lake. Flying up with him were a large area of ​​lake water and Gloria beside him.

"Biofield?"

This spectacular scene did not last long, and ended with the huge energy consumption. As the energy in Han Zu's body returned to normal values, along with the disappearance of the light on his body, Gloria beside Han Zu, and the large area of ​​lake water around the two of them, also fell back into the water again. After solving the problem of overflowing energy, Han Zu's condition also returned to normal.

"What happened before? We didn't eat or drink during the whole journey. How did you get all that excess energy?"

"I'm not sure about that either. I recall it very carefully, and our actions were basically the same."

"Forget it, as long as the problem is solved, by the way, I think I understand why your flying consumes a huge amount of energy. It's the biological force field, and it's a very strong one. Not only the lake water, but even I am passively flying. If you can understand how to change the energy consumption of the biological force field, maybe you can really fly at high speed."

"Why didn't we notice it before? According to the weight of the lake water around me just now, when I used my flying ability before, why didn't those much lighter things around me fly up?"

"I don't know that either. How about using the contractor's equipment to check it out?"

"Forget it, let's get on with business. We've wasted too much time."

Putting this episode aside for the time being, the two quickly crossed the lake, arrived at the other side of the lake, and continued to move northwest. According to the contractor's equipment, it didn't take long for them to find the entrance to a shelving facility. It was obvious that no one had been to this location for a long time, and the metal door at the entrance was covered with parasitic plants.

"There's something wrong with these plants. They're incredibly resilient."

Gloria frowned, looking at the parasitic plants that had been deformed by Han Zu's brute force but still remained intact, thinking. Once Han Zu let go of his hand holding them, these parasitic plants that covered the entrance in front of the two people would return to their original state in a very short time at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How about I try burning them with fire? Or cutting them open with rays?"

"No, I've scanned them with my equipment. These abnormal parasitic plants have highly flammable components inside. Judging from their quantity and some special minerals on the ground, if there is an explosion here, it will cause a large-scale wildfire, and our whereabouts will be exposed. And if there are people waiting for us inside the facility as you said before, a fire of this scale will definitely attract their attention. Let's find another entrance to enter the facility."

"What if you pull them apart and I open the door?"

"No, this entrance has no electronic equipment, it's a mechanical lock, probably because the facility was built too early. It can't be opened with equipment, but these parasitic plants have grown into the interior of the mechanical device group, so if you want to open this entrance, you can only destroy the door. The energy will ignite nearby plants. If you use brute force, it will trigger the alarm behind."

"Use the device to turn off..."

"I know what you're going to say, Han Zu. No, the alarm system inside the facility, at least the one behind this entrance, is a very old model and is triggered. There's no way to shut it down. Although you can use the ray to penetrate the alarm directly, it will also ignite the surrounding plants."

"Okay, let's find another entrance. When was this facility built? This is an old alarm system. Some old houses in remote areas have more advanced alarm systems than this. It's unbelievable that this thing belongs to the contractor."

"The information about this facility is not in the contractor's network. It may be related to the reason why the facility was shelved. However, according to the equipment reading the information stored inside the facility, the facility was built thousands of years ago at the latest."

"Oh, if that's the case, then this alarm system is indeed not outdated. And it's really ridiculous that our current equipment can connect to information storage devices from thousands of years ago."

"That's not the case. The information storage device inside was built hundreds of years ago. According to the information recorded inside, there were detailed records of this facility 722 years ago, but there is no information after that. There are only some automatically running devices, such as the protocol for launching the star destroyer, which is still running at the lowest power."

"Similarly, I reserve my statement that it is also an exaggeration to say that today's devices can connect to information storage devices from more than 700 years ago."

According to the search and detection of the equipment, after nearly an hour, the two found another entrance. This entrance can be entered normally. Due to structural damage, the alarm system inside this entrance and the rear passage has been completely damaged and cannot be used. In addition, it is surrounded by dense forests, and this entrance is completely blocked by a collapsed boulder. According to the analysis of the equipment, this entrance has never been discovered by others until Han Zu moved the boulder away.

A few minutes later, inside the passage.

"Okay, so this is how structural damage works."

"There is no alarm system in the back, and because of structural damage, the back has become a naturally formed cave. I did not find any abnormal life signals or special combat units in the back. I think you should be able to use your ray to cut it."

At the end of the passage, a large amount of twisted metal, tree roots, sand and gravel blocked the passage. According to analysis, this complex obstacle is about ten meters thick. Because these things are entangled together by tree roots, it will take at least half a day to open up the passage by brute force. However, if Han Zu's rays can be used for cutting, the debris blocking the passage can be cut into a whole and then pushed into the cave behind. It can greatly reduce the time of excavation.

Han Zu began to charge his eyes, and soon, two dazzling rays of light shot out, accurately cutting into the pile of composite obstacles. As Han Zu turned his head steadily, the control rays moved slowly, and the obstacles were neatly cut apart, making a slight sizzling sound.

Gloria used the equipment to continuously scan the surroundings, keeping an eye on the situation nearby. Soon, the obstacles were cut, and Han Zu used his outrageous strength to push the cut composite obstacle blocks to the back cave. The process was smooth, and the two quickly passed through the structurally damaged passage and entered the back cave.

The two continued to go deeper along the path they had opened up, and gradually some faint lights appeared on the rock wall in front of them. When they got closer, they found that there were some crystals and metals emitting faint light embedded in the wall.

"These crystals look like some kind of energy ore, and the metal should be part of the original channel. This should be the cause of structural damage." Han Zu whispered.

At this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled slightly, and then a low roar came from the distance ahead.

"No abnormalities detected."

"what happened?"

"I don't know, but something is definitely wrong."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Gloria took advantage of herself and, with the help of the rock protrusions in the cave, quickly climbed to the top of the rock wall and quietly moved towards the location where the sound came from. Han Zu directly used the ability of the soul-grabbing miasma and followed just as quickly.
