Infinite Cafetaria

 Chapter 326 My work

Ma Lu knocked down the last three guards, and then climbed up the rope with Skylark.

However, they only climbed up seven floors before they met the three Ouroboross again. They stopped there because of the four cameras not far away.

Lark volunteered upon seeing this and took out his sniper rifle to shoot down the four cameras, but was stopped by Ma Lu.

He observed the situation on the upper floor through the chessboard map and could clearly see the laser weapons set up in the corridor, some of which were facing the glass curtain wall.

If nothing else, they should be able to have some kind of linkage with the external cameras. Once the lens is destroyed, these weapons are likely to be activated.

At this time, the second wave of guards also arrived. After discovering that Ma Lu and others disappeared, they launched a search on the spot.

A man approached the glass curtain wall and stuck his head out. Before he could look up, Ma Lu had already emitted a yellow arc of light one step ahead, causing the unlucky guy to join the vomiting army.

However, this only slightly blocked the time when they were discovered. In fact, a person who was vomiting had already reached out and pointed out the window.

At this time, Malu also said to the four witches beside him, "Okay, come here, get closer to me, and wait for my order. When the time comes, everyone will rush up together."

 “What about those cameras?” Bird of Paradise asked.

 “Just pretend they don’t exist.”

As soon as Malu finished speaking, another guard rushed to the glass curtain wall, and they were smarter this time. They raised their heads and looked out, then immediately retracted, not giving Malu a chance to take aim.

At the same time, they all took out their weapons and planned to fight back. However, when they poked their heads out again, they found that Ma Lu and others had disappeared.

 There is only a lone rope left outside the curtain wall of the giant tower. The guards couldn't help but look at each other.

At the critical moment, Ma Lu used his knightly skill - the invisibility cloak.

This skill can provide invisibility effect to all friendly units within a grid, but the effect is only 45 seconds.

 Taking advantage of these 45 seconds, Ma Lu, Yunque and others continued to charge towards the top floor.

However, in the invisible state, the four people could not see each other. As soon as the horse accelerated, it collided with the skylark in front, and then the skylark hit the bird of paradise.

The speed of the three people suddenly slowed down, but the Cerberus who was rushing at the front almost ran out of the range of the invisibility cloak and became a target because it ran too fast.

 Fortunately, Ma Lu discovered this on the chessboard map and called her in time.

  But by the time the five people had settled into formation, they had only climbed up to 4 floors, and the 45-second skill time was almost over.

Seeing that the figures of the five people were about to be exposed, Ma Lu quickly activated another knight skill - secondary ignition.

 This is a new active skill he gained after reaching level 16 as a knight. The effect is to put a skill into a cooldown state and can be used immediately.

Ma Lu used the second ignition to release the invisibility cloak again, and then continued to climb to the top of the tower.

 With the experience from the previous time, they climbed much faster this time, and finally arrived outside the 211th floor.

Cerberus used a robotic arm to break the glass exterior wall, and five people rushed into the building at the last second.

Ouroboros rolled over on the spot and quickly got up again, ready to fight. However, when she looked around, she couldn't help but be stunned. To her expectation, there were no guards or defensive devices on this floor, not even the circular corridors and iron gates on other floors. It was a completely open space.

It looks like a laboratory, but the instruments and equipment inside are all weird-looking.

In addition, there was a naked old man with white hair and a skinny figure who was slapping a mushroom on the table.

He was a little surprised by the arrival of Malu and others, but his face did not show any panic. He just continued to pat the mushroom on his hand until the mushroom spit out some brown juice.

The old man took a kettle with the kettle at hand, and then pointed to the cabinet beside him.

“I didn’t expect there would be visitors today...I’m sorry that I made you see such an inappropriate scene. Do you mind if I put on some clothes first?”

Ma Lu shook his head, "That's it. I don't know if there are any hidden mechanisms here, and I can't guarantee that you won't take the opportunity to play any tricks."

The old man was not angry when he heard this, but nodded, "Your suspicion is very reasonable. Besides, the shame caused by nakedness is only a product of cultural and social rules. Considering the time we are at, everything It’s all falling apart, and it really doesn’t matter whether you wear clothes or not.”

The old man paused, then raised the kettle in his hand, "Does anyone want a drink? This cocoa mushroom juice tastes pretty good, it's my favorite, and every time I drink it, it reminds me of an old friend. ”

 “Who are you?” Ouroboros blurted out, “Why do you live here?”

 “He is the One.”

Ma Lu answered her question before the old man could speak.

"Prophet Yongyi, how is this possible? Isn't that a person from more than three hundred years ago?" Ouroboros said in shock.

And there is a statue of the prophet Yongyi in Renxin Square. Yongyi there is tall and majestic, and his eyes are full of perseverance and hope.

 The old man in front of him was thin and short, with a stooped body and wrinkled skin wrapped around the bones, as if there was no flesh and blood underneath.

However, upon closer inspection, the eyebrows of the two people are indeed vaguely similar, and they also have a unique calm temperament on their bodies.

“Interesting,” the old man said with a smile, “I didn’t expect anyone in this world to recognize me.”

He then looked at Ouroboros and patiently explained, "When I was young, I met a very special friend. He... was not from this universe. Later, he died, and I inherited his legacy.

“Everything you see here belongs to him, including the piranha-like dormant chamber next to the wall.”

Yongdao said, "I relied on that thing to survive until now. However, most of the past three hundred years, I have been sleeping... The time I was awake was not long. Even so, I have still become what I am now. He looks very old and decrepit.

“Hehe, that hibernation chamber can indeed delay the aging of the body to a certain extent, but that’s all. Even in the hibernation state, my age is still growing, but at a slower rate.

“So strictly speaking, I didn’t use it to extend my life. On the contrary, I almost wasted nearly twenty years of my life because of my deep sleep.”

 “Then why are you doing this?”

“In order to conduct my experiment,” Yong Yi answered simply, “I have to control the variables, record and observe the results of the experiment. I have been doing this kind of work when I am awake.”
