Chapter 76 The Great Crisis of the Research Institute

The elevator shaft leads straight to the depths of the earth, and the falling floor has not made a sound for a long time.

When Hughes sensed it before, he discovered that there is a secret laboratory under this square, and the elevator in front of him is the only entrance and exit.

The area of ​​the underground laboratory is very large, almost equal to the area of ​​this square, and its height is a hundred meters high.

Hughes had a headache looking at the deep elevator shaft where he couldn't see the bottom. He couldn't just jump down like this, right?

After thinking for a while, Hughes suddenly jumped down the elevator shaft!

Fei quilt was inserted vertically at the waist, and Qiushui was a companion.

The body falling at high speed, the strong sense of weightlessness, the sense of oppression and loneliness brought about by the dark and narrow surroundings, and the sound of the wind whizzing by.

Doing this kind of thing in this kind of place, besides feeling very exciting and excited, Hughes can't help but feel a little bit of fear in his heart.

Although Hughes felt that this experience was very exciting, Hughes was always using knowledge to perceive the distance between himself and the bottom.

The depth of this elevator shaft is as long as several thousand meters. If you fall unprepared at this height, if you are not careful, even Hughes may have an accident.

Hughes was holding Qiushui tightly with his left hand, ready to pull it out at any time. In such a small environment, Fei's blade was too slender to be used here.

Qiushui is just right, and Qiushui's toughness is also extraordinary. It is said that this knife will not bend even if an elephant steps on it.

As the body fell at a high speed, Hughes gradually became nervous. He was almost halfway down, and Hughes was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the elevator shaft.

The deep shaft of the elevator is dark. Here, Hughes can't even see his own hands clearly, and can only perceive the surrounding environment with his knowledge.

The pitch-black environment makes it impossible for people to feel the passage of time here. If it weren't for the whistling wind in his ears and the sense of weightlessness, Hughes would not be able to tell whether he was falling or not.

Just a few hundred meters away from the ground, Hughes pulled out Qiushui and stabbed it straight into the side of the elevator shaft, and most of Qiushui's blade sank into the side wall of the well.

Hughes fell at a high speed, and the autumn water plowed a long ravine on the wall of the well. Feeling the strong resistance in his hand, Hughes didn't feel his falling speed eased.

But that was all an illusion. Hughes's falling speed eased, 300 meters, 200 meters. At this time, Hughes could clearly feel his speed slowing down.

At this time, Hughes pulled out the chestnut from his waist and stabbed at the wall of the well on the other side. Under the interception of double resistance, Hughes' falling body slowed down obviously, and finally stopped at a height of ten meters above the ground.

Hughes pulled out two knives and landed directly on the floor of the elevator shaft. Hughes took Qiushui and Fei back, "looked" at the walls of the well around them, and patted them.

The palm slapped on one of the walls of the well, making a slight hollow sound, and the hand fumbled for a while on the wall of the well.

"found it!"

Hughes stretched out his hands and exerted force with his arms, and the heavy elevator door in front of him was forcibly pulled open.

A soft light shone into the elevator shaft from the crack in the door. Hughes covered his eyes with his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked in after getting used to the elevator shaft for a while.

The laboratory in front of him was not as dark and dusty as Hughes imagined, it was unexpectedly clean.

And here, there are a large number of light-emitting devices on the top, and the soft lights illuminate this underground research institute.

What catches the eye are various experimental instruments. Hughes casually picked up a scalpel on the tray beside him. The blade was intact without any sign of rust.

Some machines are still running, and the indicators on the instruments are still on. Hughes can roughly understand some instruments, but most of them are confused.

These instruments are not driven by electric energy, but by those unique energies, and tubes extend from the floor and connect to the instruments.

The energy conduits are not just connected to the equipment, some energy conduits are distributed under the floor.

And on the ceiling of the research institute, there are many dense crimson energy conduits. There is flowing energy in the conduits. These conduits all extend from one direction.

Hughes glanced at the nearby instruments at random, and followed the source of the catheter to find it.

Although many of the instruments here are far away from the technology of this era, Hughes is not interested in these things at all.

Even if these technologies are all useless to Hughes, only the World Government and the Revolutionary Army are interested in these things. Maybe those guys in the dark world will also be a little interested, but for Hughes, carrying this kind of thing is troublesome .

As for trading these things with the World Government or the Revolutionary Army, Hughes is not interested either, he is only interested in exciting adventures.

If it wasn't for fun, why would he be here?If it wasn't for the pursuit of excitement, why would he jump down the elevator shaft thousands of meters deep?
Hughes likes to be straightforward in solving problems. Dealing with the world government or something is very troublesome, and Hughes is not very interested in the group of Tianlong people.

Passing through the room, turning a corner, an iron door stood in front of Hughes, the locked door, the combination lock, Hughes pulled out Qiushui without thinking.

Zheng!
A bright knife flashed, and the door fell straight down. Through the iron door, there was another laboratory, and the catheters above the head were scattered again.

There are more than one passages in this laboratory, and energy conduits extend from each passage. Hughes found the ceiling of a passage with the densest distribution of energy conduits.

Walking along the passage, there is a door on the right. Hughes still opened the door, and behind the door is a more luxurious laboratory.

Different from the laboratory full of instruments outside, the further you go in, the wider the laboratory space inside and the larger the range of activities.

Hughes can even see small compartments dedicated to fitness and entertainment equipment in some laboratories, and there is a separate lounge inside.

Moreover, the sophistication of the instruments is getting higher and higher. Hughes saw a machine filled with various energy conduits, and various data were displayed on the screen.

But in addition to these sophisticated instruments, Hughes also saw something that looked simple but was actually dangerous.

A rough black ball was placed in a glass box. A few catheters were randomly inserted into the black ball, some of which were even broken, and some mysterious textures were engraved on the black ball.

The moment he saw the black ball, Hughes' perception frantically issued a warning, constantly stimulating Hughes' perception, and his brain tingled like a needle.

The last time Hughes experienced this feeling was on that uninhabited island, that is, a few seconds before the island exploded.

"No way……"

The corner of Hughes' mouth twitched. If he exploded in such a place, he would definitely die 100%! ! !
