Fantasy Game: Infinite City

The bottom floor of the secret facility, where the large lifting platform is located.

"Om~~"

After cracking the core system of the facility, the third team turned on the power supply of the lift platform. Two special prototype mechanical soldiers replaced the soldiers and, together with the previous three mechanical soldiers, took the lift platform to the lowest level.

Christina and her adjutant were using a special terminal and the split-screen perspective of the mechanical soldiers to observe the situation at the bottom level. They were also using the detection equipment on the mechanical soldiers to draw a diagram of the bottom level structure.

"It's a bit strange. There is a huge gate opposite the lifting platform. The shielding device should be inside. It interfered with the systems of the three ordinary mechanical soldiers. Before the shielding device is removed, we only have these two prototype mechanical soldiers available."

"What were the results of the scan?"

"The shielding equipment is behind the gate. Although the gate is extremely strong, it does not have any electronic equipment. It only has the most basic mechanical set, which can be easily opened."

"First, have the three ordinary mechanical soldiers retreat to an undisturbed area and keep watch there to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring when the gate is opened."

"Yes."

The three ordinary mechanical soldiers, under the control of the mechanic, retreated to the lifting platform, used the large transport vehicle parked on the lifting platform as a cover, and aimed at the location of the giant gate. Then, the two special mechanical soldiers of the prototype used the mechanical group on the gate to unlock the gate, push the gate upwards, and open the metal gate.

"This metal gate is made of a lot of alloys, so it's very strong. But in terms of weight, it's a bit too heavy. If you just want to make it so that when no one is operating, the gate will automatically close due to its weight, it would be enough if it is twice as light as it is now. But if you want to use some special materials to block radiation or something like that, there is no corresponding material in the gate material."

"And it seems like they deliberately added weight to the gate?"

"Yes! That's a little bit of the idea."

"First, let a prototype mechanical soldier drive the heavy transport vehicle on the lifting platform over to see if it can jam the gate. If this thing closes behind us when we go in, it won't be a good thing."

I don't know if it was designed this way, or just a coincidence, but the heavy transport vehicle parked on the transport platform was just able to withstand the weight of the gate, leaving a four-meter height for people to pass through. After confirming that the vehicle was strong enough to continue to support the weight of the gate, the mechanic continued to control the prototype mechanical soldier and slowly advanced to the depths of the bottom layer.

After passing through the metal gate, there is a huge but empty hall. Through the detection of the equipment, not only is there no electronic equipment in this hall, but there is also no lighting system. It can be noticed that there are a large number of special metal plates on the top of this floor, which form the ceiling of the bottom floor. These special metal plates should have some function of preventing scanning equipment.

Inside this hall, there was nothing except two passages and one in the middle, where a strange device was working.

"This device should be a shielding device. There is no security system outside. We can try to destroy the device directly, which should save a lot of time."

"There's no need to act rashly. We have plenty of time. Let's first carefully inspect the device. There may be some hidden traps or alarm systems on it."

After some inspection, the prototype mechanical soldier actually found a pressure plate directly below the shielding device, which was the same size and shape as the shielding device. Through detection, it was found that the mechanism under the pressure plate connected mechanical groups in two directions, which happened to be the two entrances inside the hall.

"According to our scans of the gates at the entrances of the two passages, if we want to open them, we must change the weight on the pressure plate. Apart from that, if we want to open the two gates, we can only use the most primitive blasting method. However, the gates at these two locations are explosion-proof gates. If we use this method to open the doors, this floor will collapse due to load-bearing problems before the doors are successfully opened."

"How's the scanning of this shielding device going? Can it be shut down?"

"Yes, although the structure of this device is very complicated, the operating principle is very simple, even rough. This device is a manual semi-automatic device. There is only one safety system on it that can be operated, which is a valve that needs to be operated manually. As long as the valve is closed first and the micro reactor inside the device is removed, the device will automatically shut down. Its function is very simple, it is used for shielding."

“After shutting down the equipment, will there be other emergencies?”

"No, except for the pressure plate below, this device is not connected to anything, but the micro-reactor is heavy, so we cannot rule out the possibility that the pressure plate will be triggered after we take out the micro-reactor."

"Be prepared, shut down the shielding equipment, and have the people outside prepare as well, ready to provide support at any time."

"Yes."

However, after using the mechanical soldiers to shut down the shielding equipment, nothing seemed to happen. But it was indeed as the engineer said, after the micro-reactor was taken out, the weight of the equipment changed, triggering the pressure plate below. The friction sound of the gate opening could be heard not far away.

Without the interference of the shielding equipment, the remaining three ordinary mechanical soldiers also resumed normal operation. The mechanics controlled them to quickly merge with the two prototype mechanical soldiers and began to conduct a detailed scan of the bottom floor starting from the hall. However, behind the two passages on this floor, it seemed that a lot of anti-detection materials were used during construction, so if you want to know what is inside, you can only let the mechanical soldiers go in and check it out for themselves.

According to the scans of the bottom floor of the facility by the mechanical soldiers, it can be learned that the bottom floor of the facility seems to have undergone some transformation, that is to say, the structure of the facility was not like this at the beginning. According to the information that Christina is the only one who knows among all the people, things seem a little strange.

The owner of this secret facility is Han Zu. No one in the family knows about this except himself and his brother, who is the head of the family. Even Garcia is completely unaware of the existence of this facility. Then the problem arises. The bottom layer of this secret facility has been renovated, and the time of its renovation is wrong.

According to the analysis of the structural diagram, the renovation of the bottom floor of the facility should have just been completed. The entire renovation is expected to take about three months. In some places, unused building materials can even be seen piled up on the side. However, according to intelligence, the owner of the facility, Han Zu, has not returned to the facility for at least two months. Although there is a transmission device on the first floor of the facility, according to the signal analysis of the transmission device, that transmission device has also not been used for a long time.

Judging from the number of security systems, shielding equipment, traps, and sentry weapon systems inside this facility, Han Zu would not tell anyone the secret of this facility. If that were the case, and he was not there, who did the renovation of the facility? With such a huge amount of work, if there were other people helping, then the facility would definitely leave traces, but there were none.

"Are there other residents in the village where the entrance to this facility is located and where the old house is located?"

"Originally there were three households, but according to our advance investigation, the elderly in two of them passed away a few months ago. The last family also moved away half a year ago and only come back to worship their ancestors."

The time didn't match, and no one could confirm whether there were any other people here, which made Christina feel something was wrong.

"Tell me again the results of your preliminary investigation around this location."

"Yes, we were..."

But after the person in charge of investigating the matter, the adjutant next to Christina, explained the results of the preliminary investigation in detail, Christina did not think there was anything wrong. Except for Han Zu himself, no one else had been here for at least four months.

But the traces of modification on the bottom floor of the facility are not fake. Since we can rule out external factors, it means that there are other people inside the facility. The first and second floors of the facility have been cleared, and no traces of human activity have been found. So if there are really other people in this secret facility, they must be in the area behind the two passages.

"Get ready for battle, we're going down now."

"Yes!"

In order to be on the safe side, Christina called in two teams of ten in addition to the soldiers who had already entered the facility. Fortunately, the facility was large enough, and a team of nearly forty people could move around without being crowded. Soon, the large group of people came to the bottom floor of the facility through the lifting platform, leaving a team of five to guard the external gate, and the rest of the people entered the hall, facing the two passages.

"To ensure safety, we will temporarily set up a defensive formation here and use five mechanical soldiers as scouts. We will first explore the passage on the right and send people to guard it after it is completely safe. Now start the action. Remember, if anything else appears, open fire first and investigate later. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The combat soldiers protected the mechanics in the middle of the team, allowing them to smoothly control the mechanical soldiers to enter the space behind the right channel for investigation. However, after entering the right channel, the mechanical soldiers did not find any life forms or mechanical creations, but only saw a huge pit dug by humans. The area was very large and occupied almost the entire space. It was a rectangular pit of about 500 square meters and 3 meters deep. There was nothing inside. Except for some unused construction tools and materials, there was nothing in this place. As for the specific function of this space, it is still unknown.

"The space on the right is safe. But do we still need to send people to guard it? There's nothing in there."

"Check if there are any secret doors, secret passages, or mechanisms."

"Yes."

However, after another detailed search, there was indeed nothing in the space on the right.

"Begin searching the passage on the left."

"Yes!"

The space behind the passage on the left is not like the one on the right, where there is nothing but a deep pit. There are a huge number of medium-sized containers here, about a hundred or so. The materials of the containers are specially made, and it is impossible to scan what is inside.

"Miss, I think there is something strange here."

"explain."

"Even the space on the right has complete lighting facilities on the top, although it is not activated yet. However, there is no lighting facilities in the space on the left, not even a single light. Logically, with so many containers, no matter what is inside, a place storing such a large amount of goods should at least have an emergency light or something like that."

The adjutant's suspicion was indeed justified, and Christina also felt that something was increasingly wrong. There was nothing in the space on the left except these containers. If, based on previous speculation, there were indeed other people inside the facility, these containers should be the last possibility.

However, before opening these containers, Christina asked people to conduct a detailed scan of the space on the left to rule out the possibility of a secret exit.

The remaining highlight is to open these containers.

They first scanned the nearest container. Although they could not accurately determine what was inside the container, they found that these containers were equipped with special biometric locks. This biometric lock was the same as the biometric lock on Han Zu's terminal found inside the facility and currently in Christina's hands.

At the same time, these biometric locks are also connected to a certain signal transmission system. Their target is not any equipment inside the facility, so this should be a special alarm system. As long as someone opens the container without going through the biometric lock, a special alarm message will be sent out immediately. And according to Christina's reasonable judgment, the person who receives these alarm messages should be Han Zu.

But since she had already arrived here, it was impossible for Christina to give up. She was not without a way to open the biometric lock.

"Wait here while I go find something that will pass the biometric lock."

Christina walked out of the hall and teleported away. Not long after, she returned here again, holding a sealed device with "Danger" written on it. There seemed to be some biological tissue inside.

Christina opened the seal and poured the biological tissue inside onto Han Zu's terminal.

"Verification passed. Permission unlocked."

Christina carefully put the biological tissues back into the sealing device, put it away, and used the unlocked terminal to find the interface for controlling the containers. Based on the number on it, she found the control code for the container in front of them, and then prepared to open the container in front of them to see what was hidden inside.
