Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 1124

Entering the elevator, there are only two buttons on it. One is for Li Teng's current floor, which is the minus 1 floor, and the other is for the first floor, which is the ground floor.

It seems that the laboratory where Li Teng is located has only two floors in total, one building on the ground and one building underground. The place where he was born in the plot of this mission is on the negative first floor of the laboratory.

After pressing the button for the first floor, the elevator made a creaking sound, followed by the sound of metal friction.

It seems like it will break down at any moment.

But in the end, we made it to the first floor without any danger.

The elevator door opened and Li Teng walked out.

After coming out, I looked around.

Although it says there is only one floor above, is this floor too high?

It's at least ten meters long.

There are huge instruments and equipment everywhere, and there are various metal pipes, huge cables, etc. in the air.

Then there are various iron ladders that can lead to the middle or top of some instruments and equipment, which are obviously used by staff to climb up for maintenance.

I didn't encounter those robots or half-human, half-machine monsters on the first floor.

"Dad! Dad!"

Anna's voice appeared not far away.

After some searching, Li Teng found the source of the sound, a powered terminal device.

The picture of this terminal device is very clear, and Anna's profile picture can be seen, but the picture is intermittent and looks like a slideshow.

"Anna, what's going on here? Where are you?" Li Teng asked Anna quickly.

"I'm at the launch base. Dad, can you come over?" Anna answered Li Teng.

"How do I get there?" Li Teng continued to ask.

"You need to take the subway to get here. You can look for a nearby map. It should be..."

When Anna said this, the entire laboratory suddenly shook violently. With this shaking, the terminal also became unstable, made a squeaking sound of electricity, and then suddenly went out.

The shaking in the laboratory became more violent, and Li Teng couldn't even stand still.

A huge piece of equipment next to the terminal couldn't withstand the shaking and collapsed.

Li Teng realized something was wrong and ran away quickly, but because of the heavy protective clothing, he couldn't run fast. Even if he finally jumped forward, his legs were still hit by the huge equipment and he was pinned underneath.

The roof of the laboratory was also collapsed, and a large number of cement blocks fell from above.

Li Teng's legs were trapped and he couldn't dodge at all. He could only watch as the cement blocks fell on his body, completely burying him in the rubble.

Li Teng, who was completely unable to escape and thought he was dead, unexpectedly discovered that he was still alive after everything around him calmed down.

The fallen debris formed a triangle on his body, preventing his upper body from being directly hit by the cement block.

Except for his legs being pinned down, other parts of his body seemed uninjured and could still be moved.

Moreover, after a large number of cement blocks fell from the collapsed roof, they fell on the other end of the huge equipment, slightly lifting the end that was pressing Li Teng's legs.

Li Teng worked hard with both hands and kicked off his legs. After a few minutes, he pulled his legs out from under the huge equipment.

Not even injured!

Li Teng couldn't help but feel lucky. Although the metal shell of the protective suit he was wearing was heavy, it was very strong. Although it was a little flattened, it did not affect his legs and feet. In the scene just now, although he was crushed under the rubble, Because of the protective clothing, he was protected from any injuries.

If there is an injury, he should feel pain or numbness in his limbs.

Obviously, he had no such symptoms.

Li Teng carefully moved the rubble around him bit by bit. After a few hours, he finally successfully dug a passage through the rubble and climbed out of the rubble.

Standing on the top of the ruins, Li Teng did not escape the surprise.

It is not sunny and sunny outside, and there are no green mountains and green waters.

The sky is gray-red, the ground is gray everywhere, and snowflakes are falling in the sky... When I took it in my hand, I saw that it was not snowflakes, but something similar to volcanic ash.

Lightning occasionally appears in the gray-red clouds, and the weather is obviously very harsh.

Li Teng even began to wonder if this was the earth.

These gray-red clouds were also very abnormal. Coupled with the volcanic ash in the sky, Li Teng estimated that the air was very poisonous. Without protective clothing, just a few breaths could be fatal!

He didn't know how to take off the protective suit, and he didn't know how much oxygen was left, but now Li Teng obviously didn't dare to try to take off the protective suit.

Oxygen isn't shown, but it's certainly not too much.

He is pressed for time and must quickly go to the launch base to find Anna. Only by finding her can he understand what is happening here and what the main storyline of this plot mission is.

Is she alone? Is Zhang Mengdi still there? Would she be scared to be alone?

Based on Anna's age, Li Teng speculated that he should be in middle age now.

She said that you have to take the subway to get to the launch base. Where is the subway station? Is the subway still running now?

Find it quickly.

Standing on the ruins of the laboratory, at a glance, everything around was gray and nothing could be seen clearly.

Li Teng had no choice but to climb down from the ruins of the laboratory and could barely recognize a road in front of the laboratory.

This road has been covered with thick volcanic ash, and it feels a little soft underfoot when walking on it.

Anna seems to have said that there is a map and you can find the subway station through the map.

But where to find the map now?

The laboratory has become a pile of ruins, and it is definitely impossible to go back and find the map.

Then walk along the road in front of the laboratory and see if you can find the sign for the subway station.

The road in front of the laboratory is one-way, leading directly to the door of the laboratory, so you don't have to think about which way to go, just go straight out along this road.

There are mountains on one side of the road and wilderness on the other.

After walking about two hundred meters, a road pole appeared in front of him. After getting closer, Li Teng saw a yellow sign above the road pole with the word M and an arrow on it.

Li Teng let out a long breath. It seemed that he was lucky and found his way directly to the subway station.

After walking in the direction marked by the arrow for a while, an artificially constructed cave appeared in the mountain.

There is also a subway station sign next to the cave. After entering the cave, there is an escalator going down, but it is no longer in use.

Li Teng walked down on his own.

After walking through the long corridor, Li Teng finally entered the subway station.

A subway train stopped on the platform. The train doors were all open, but there was no one inside.

Chapter 1125

Li Teng managed to get into the front of the train, but was unable to start the train.

"Zhizhigugu..."

A burst of electronic sound appeared on the platform.

Li Teng looked through the opened train door and saw a dilapidated robot appearing on the platform.

This robot is actually magnetically levitated, with only a big round head floating half a meter high in the air.

It continued to detect the squeaking electronic sound, as if it wanted to talk to Li Teng.

Li Teng walked out very vigilantly, always prepared for possible attacks by the robot.

But the robot obviously had no intention of attacking Li Teng. After squeaking for a while, it turned and flew away into the distance. After flying a few meters, it looked back at Li Teng, as if waiting for him. Same.

Li Teng followed.

The robot walked up and down and led Li Teng to the door of a room.

The metal door of the room was locked, but after the robot shot a beam of light containing information, it quickly unlocked the metal door and then opened it.

Entering the room, Li Teng saw a map on the wall of the room.

The map has all the subway stations, laboratories, and launch bases marked on it.

The map could not be taken away. After Li Teng wrote down the map firmly, he followed the robot to a piece of equipment.

Listening to the squeaking of the robot, Li Teng studied it carefully for a while and finally figured out that this device could remotely control the operation of the subway.

After setting the subway route on the device and setting the subway departure time for three minutes, Li Teng left the room and quickly walked back to the train.

After entering the car, he looked back at the robot.

The robot had no intention of entering the carriage.

"Thank you, little guy." Li Teng came all the way. Most of the time, he felt the robot's malice. This was the first time he felt the robot's kindness.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The robot still only made an electronic sound that Li Teng couldn't understand.

After the set departure time arrived, the subway picked up speed and quickly left the platform, and the circular robot disappeared from the car window.

Li Teng sat down on the bench, let out a long breath, and then thought about the current situation and analyzed the possible next steps.

From the map, the launch base is quite far from the laboratory.

It takes half an hour to get there by subway.

Li Teng was worried that the subway would encounter obstacles halfway and be crashed or stop.

I was also worried that the subway would run out of power and stopped halfway.

Fortunately, nothing I was worried about happened.

Finally, the subway safely arrived at the station with the launch base written on it.

The subway stopped and the doors opened automatically.

Li Teng walked out of the car door and came to the platform outside.

The platform here is equally empty.

The whole world was dead silent.

There is still a long way to go from the subway station to the launch base.

Judging from the map, this section of road is about 500 meters long.

There is also a bridge more than 100 meters long in the middle.

After walking out of the subway station, the sky outside was still gray-red, and the ground was still gray.

I don’t know whether a nuclear war occurred or an asteroid hit the earth, causing such a situation.

But these are not things Li Teng needs to consider.

What he is most concerned about now is Anna who is staying at the launch base.

In a short time, Li Teng arrived at the bridge.

However……

More than 20 meters in the middle of the bridge were broken.

Below is an extremely fast river.

Of course, it can no longer be called river water.

It would be more accurate to say mud.

Looking at the mud flow below, Li Teng couldn't help but frown.

Without this protective suit, Li Teng might have chosen to risk swimming this distance.

But now wearing such a heavy metal protective suit, Li Teng felt that if he jumped into the mud flow, there would be only one outcome.

That means sinking inside and never getting up again.

If you can't cross this river, you can't get to the launch center.

What should I do?

Li Teng walked up and down the shore, looking around to see if there was anywhere else he could pass.

Very disappointed.

No.

The long river has no end in sight on either side.

The shore is covered with gray volcanic ash.

As a last resort, Li Teng finally decided to risk going down to the river to test the situation.

The river is mainly in the middle section, which is about ten meters wide and very fast. On both sides near the shore, the river is not very fast.

Li Teng carefully put one foot in.

It turned out that the muddy water on the shore was very shallow and there was hard ground underneath.

So, he groped his way slowly towards the middle of the river.

The foot that reaches out must touch the ground and confirm that it will not sink before moving the other foot.

In this way, Li Teng carefully came to the middle of the river, the section with the most turbulent flow.

After arriving here, the depth of the muddy water had reached his waist.

The heavy metal protective suit made it impossible for him to swim, but it also had the advantage of allowing him to stand firm in the rushing muddy water.

Of course, you must carefully adjust your direction of travel.

If you are not careful, once you are knocked down by mud and water, it will be very difficult to get up again.

Li Teng continued to walk toward the deepest part of the river, and the muddy water gradually submerged up to his chest.

A strong push wanted to push him down at any time, and even the thick metal protective suit seemed weak in the face of this push.

Li Teng could only change direction, face the direction of the muddy current, tilt his body, and then walk sideways to the other side.

The muddy water gradually submerged up to Li Teng's neck, and his feet felt a little soft. He wondered if there would be a deep pit or trap below.

Finally, Li Teng crossed the upper line of the river, and the muddy water began to gradually become shallow again, falling from his neck to his chest.

Li Teng took a long breath, and then moved sideways again...

This time, it was empty! There is a sinkhole below!

Li Teng's body suddenly lost his balance and was pushed downstream by the rushing muddy water.

He tried hard to stabilize his body and stand up again, but it was impossible. His heavy body was rising and falling in the muddy water, and he was completely at the mercy of the muddy water.

After floating for a while, Li Teng felt that the ground under his feet began to become shallower. He tried again and finally stood up.

As luck would have it, he was washed into the shallow water on the other side by the fast-flowing river.

After taking a long breath, Li Teng stepped forward, slowly but firmly walking towards the other side step by step.

Finally came to the other side.

Through the gray volcanic ash in the sky, the vague outline of a huge building in the distance can already be seen clearly.

That's the launch base.

Where Anna is.
