In the dark and silent passage.

Ta da~

The dull sound of footsteps kept echoing.

Shen Qiu held An Yuan in his hand and walked forward cautiously. Because the ground was made of metal, there was a dull sound with every step he took.

The sound itself is not loud, but because the surroundings are too quiet, it is particularly obvious.

However, as the exploration gradually deepened, Shen Qiu still didn't see any enemies. The entire fortress was like a dead nest.

"Um?"

As Shen Qiu walked, he stopped with a slight movement in his expression, and an electronic metal isolation door appeared in front of him.

He reached out and touched the electronic isolation door. It was made of synthetic metal and its hardness was very good. Its switch device was a mechanical button.

From here, Shen Qiu can probably tell that although the technology of this civilization is quite advanced, the emphasis seems to be more on heavy equipment.

But even so, he couldn't figure out the password without Anji.

So Shen Qiu waved Dark Abyss and swept across it!

Click!

Suddenly the thick synthetic metal isolation door was cut open!

A new passage came into Shen Qiu's eyes, but the sight in front of him made his eyelids twitch slightly.

In this passage, very deep scratches were made on the metal wall, and the internal wiring was exposed. At the same time, the wall was stained with splattered dark red blood stains.

Just from this scene, you can tell that a horrific massacre once occurred here.

Shen Qiu walked in, carefully observed the scratches on the wall, stretched out his hand to touch it, his heart was raised, and he continued to move forward cautiously.

Ding~

Suddenly Shen Qiu heard a strange noise.

Like a nervous reflex, purple lightning flashed all over his body, and he turned around suddenly and looked back.

However, the passage behind him was empty, and no unusual figures were seen.

Shen Qiu frowned and muttered secretly in his heart.

"illusion?"

He took a deep breath to calm his heaving heart, turned around and continued walking forward.

When he walked to the corner ahead, he saw a torn heavy mechanical guardian head on, its round body torn into pieces.

When Shen Qiu saw this scene, he became more and more convinced of one thing.

There must have been very powerful and terrifying monsters in this fortress, most likely MX monsters.

And if the guess is correct, it is possible that the MX monster caused the destruction of the civilization to which this fortress belongs.

Shen Qiu thought of this, with a hesitant look on his face.

All MX monsters are basically related to that mysterious civilization. If you continue to explore, you may be able to find some clues about the legacy of that civilization.

But there was one thing that made Shen Qiu very afraid. Apart from being very tricky and tough, all MX monsters had one thing in common, that is, their vitality was extremely tough.

Therefore, even though it took so long for this place to be destroyed, if it is really an MX series monster, it is definitely not dead, but it is not clear whether it has left this fortress.

After Shen Qiu's expression changed for a while, his eyes finally flashed with determination.

He decided to take the risk and give it a try. On the one hand, after finally getting in, he couldn't come back empty-handed, right? See if he could search for anything valuable from this fortress, and also explore the unknown things here. Secrets and clues to that civilization.

After making the decision, Shen Qiu continued to explore forward, carving signs along the way whenever he encountered a fork.

Soon he came to a residential area and looked over. It was full of densely packed rooms, which looked even more depressing than the Pigeon House.

After all, you can still see the sky from the Pigeon Tower, but there is only a cold ceiling.

Shen Qiu walked forward cautiously, stretching out his hand to open the door and looking inside.

The size and internal layout of each room are almost identical, and occasionally you can see some dusty firearms and bulky mechanical armors.

Basically, it can be confirmed that this should be the residential area for soldiers.

The more Shen Qiu looked, the more he frowned. He had explored a lot of areas so far. But he didn't see a single corpse. Normally, even if it was rotten, there should be some bone residue left, right?

This abnormal phenomenon made Shen Qiu feel even more uneasy.

Half an hour later.

Shen Qiu appeared in front of a metal door that was ten meters high and thirty meters wide.

There are torn remains and parts of mechanical guards everywhere.

Dang~

A slight sound came from behind. Shen Qiu's pupils shrank and he turned around to look back. However, the passage behind him was empty and there was still nothing. At the same time, the atomic magic suit did not give any alarm.

Shen Qiu suppressed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart and told himself not to think wildly to avoid going insane.

Then he stepped forward, sidled his body along the open gap of the metal door and entered inside. Suddenly his vision suddenly opened up, and he came to a huge warehouse.

There is no end to the entire warehouse at a glance, with metal shelves placed every ten meters.

Various types of weapons and missiles were neatly placed on the shelves, but because no one had taken care of them for a long time, they were all covered with dust.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, with a look of shock on his face.

Although the shelves in front of me are not full, some of them are empty.

But judging from this scale, the ammunition and weapons stored here can at least arm several legions.

Shen Qiu suppressed the restlessness in his heart and walked forward.

Soon he came to a shelf inside, and saw a number of machine guns with a caliber like a bowl placed on it. Of course, these were not the ones with reloadable ammunition, but the kind of energy crystal magazines.

Shen Qiu picked up one and played with it. He found that it seemed to be a magnetic blast gun.

It's a pity that this is an ammunition depot, and Shen Qiu doesn't dare to open the safety bolt and give it a try!

He put the magnetic blast gun back and continued walking inside. As a result, he found that the missiles stored inside were larger in caliber and more powerful.

When he reached the deepest point, his eyelids twitched again.

I saw seven cylindrical ballistic missiles standing in the deepest part, all with special danger signs on them.

Although Shen Qiu couldn't understand what models these seven ballistic missiles were, he could instinctively sense the danger.

Shen Qiu highly suspected that the internal filling was a warhead similar to a nuclear mine.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu didn't go up to touch her, but turned and left after thinking for a while.

Although this ammunition depot is very good, you cannot take it with you unless you capture the fortress.

However, this also made Shen Qiu think about looking for the main control room. If there were really no enemies in this fortress, then as long as he found the main control room, he might have a chance to capture it.

Thinking of this, after Shen Qiu exited the ammunition depot, he changed a path and continued exploring inside.

Forty minutes later.

Shen Qiu walked and stopped at a partition door in the passage.

This is a very thick metal partition door, but the entire partition door fell to the ground, and the center was bent to an exaggerated degree.

Shen Qiu was also quite shocked. What kind of power was needed to destroy this partition door so violently.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and walked in.

When he saw the situation inside, his nerves suddenly became tense.

Behind the partition door is a slender passage, with gloomy iron cages on both sides of the passage. It is not one floor, but has nine floors, and there is no end in sight.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, walked inside, and looked around along the way.

He found that all the cells were empty, without any corpses, but there were dried urine stains and excrement everywhere inside, and the air was really extremely turbid.

Judging from the harsh environment here, you can imagine how the prisoners who were once held here were treated.

But there is one thing that Shen Qiu really doesn't understand: why there are so many cells here. Judging from the size of these cells, hundreds of thousands of people can easily be imprisoned.

Shen Qiu kept walking in with doubts, and as he walked he discovered the problem.

The iron bars of many cells here were torn apart and destroyed by violence, and some of the doors were open. Shen Qiu couldn't help but murmur.

"Did there ever be a riot here?"

Unfortunately, there were so few clues available that he could not deduce anything of value.

He continued to walk inside, when Shen Qiu saw some regular scratches on the metal walls inside some iron cages, which looked like engraved words.

It's a pity that it's useless, Shen Qiu can't understand it at all, because he can't translate the language of this world at all.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu felt a little regretful. If only Anji was here, it would be easy to decipher the world text and quickly locate the opponent's main control room. There is no need for him to look around like a headless fly.

Of course, Shen Qiu just thought about it. Anji needed to fly an unloaded aircraft and it was impossible for him to come with him.

Shen Qiu shook his head slightly, put aside his thoughts for the time being, and continued to explore!

As he walked, he came to the center of the prison, which was a crossroads.

Looking around, there are cages.

At this moment, Shen Qiu was deeply shocked. How big is this prison? What is it used for?
