Chapter 647 Subway Station

Everyone was far away from the city, and there was only a deep passage spreading out in front of them. Looking back towards the city, there is only a faint light coming from it - this requires vision beyond the limits of human vision to see it.

The surroundings were filled with filthy and almost toxic gases. It was obvious that Hao Ren and the others had chosen a gate that had never been opened: the air behind this door had never been ventilated.

The passage is very wide, and most of the structure is complete, not cramped or broken as expected. This place just looks quite old and dirty, thick dust can be seen everywhere, and everything has serious signs of age erosion. It is obvious that compared with a fully enclosed and continuously running city, there is a lack of necessary cleaning here.

Many parallel steel guide rails can be seen in the center of the passage. Although the structure is different from the railway structure on earth, it can still be clearly seen that it is prepared for some kind of large transportation vehicle. If there were no accidents on this planet, this passage should be a busy subway line - it connects the city to a major transportation hub and is an important trunk road. But now it is just an old cave that has been abandoned for ten thousand years. In addition to dust, the only things accumulated inside are old machines that I don't know whether they can still be started.

The ceiling of the passage is inlaid with a row of dim lights, 80 to 90% of which are working normally. These lights are the only thing that proves that this passage is not completely abandoned. With the dim light, Hao Ren could clearly see the surroundings. He saw various scrap machines piled up on both sides, including rusty carriages and dusty robots. Lily stepped forward to check it and then jumped back to report the situation: "The model is different from the ones in the city. It looks more primitive."

"That is to say, those machines in the city are all evolved versions," Hao Ren nodded slightly. "It seems that some kind of 'research and development work' is indeed going on. The machines are being updated... This is something that requires creativity."

"These machines should have been abandoned before the planet set sail...perhaps they were abandoned earlier, such as 10,000 years ago," Yzaks looked at the scrap metal passing by, "It looks like it was suddenly abandoned. An emergency must have occurred at that time.”

Vivian's eyes shone with a faint red light in the dim environment. She suddenly saw something that interested her in the pile of debris. Several small bats flew over and rummaged through the pile of debris. A small metal sign. Hao Ren took the metal plate from the little bat's paw and found some pictures engraved on it. The picture showed a middle-aged man with a serious expression and meticulous clothes. He felt that the face was familiar at first glance, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: This It was the middle-aged man he saw on the curtain wall of the hall before he entered the shelter!

It was the first stranger's face he saw on this planet.

Nangong Wudi came over and took a look, with a slight surprise on his face: "This person seems to be called the Commander-in-Chief."

"Commander?" Hao Ren raised the metal plate in his hand, "Do you know him?"

"He will appear on the screen, the TV you are talking about," Nangong Wudi nodded, "Except for big events, he only appears once a year. He is the highest official here, so I have a deep impression on him. "

"The supreme leader of this planet..." Hao Ren flicked the dust on the metal sign, "He appeared on the big screen, but under the sign was written his date of birth and death, and the note said deep condolences. . Ordinarily, only dead people would mark XX to XX years after their names, right?"

"The commander is dead?" Vivian looked at the commemorative plaque in surprise, "...then it seems that the person we see on the screen has more meaning."

Hao Ren nodded and led everyone deeper into the passage.

After advancing for an unknown amount of time, the passage reached the end, and the group came to a large cave that was open and looked like a subway interchange center.

The large cave is generally oval in shape, and circular tunnel entrances and exits can be seen on all sides of the cave wall. Each entrance and exit is exactly the same, with long rails extending out. Where these railroad tracks intersect, there is a huge saucer-shaped building. This is undoubtedly an important hub of the planet's subway center, and the surrounding circular tunnels should lead to various other cities.

The group of people carefully stepped into the saucer-shaped building in the center of the cave. This ancient facility was still structurally intact, but it was completely shrouded in darkness. It was not clear whether the energy system was offline or the lights were all broken. Lily held up her fire torch as a torch to illuminate everyone. In the flickering light of the fire, everyone saw the criss-crossing railway lines, the dispatching platform filled with debris, and the severely damaged control cabin.

Several little bats flew into the surrounding darkness. I don’t know what these little guys encountered. Suddenly, there was a sound of mechanical friction in the "subway station", and then the lights on the ceiling suddenly turned on. Everyone was shocked.

After confirming that only the lighting system was activated, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around curiously. He suddenly saw a complex group of sculptures standing in front of the intersection of several railway tracks, and his attention was immediately attracted.

The sculpture shows a group of strangely behaving humans, clustered in a circle, raising their hands to the sky, and above their heads floats a strange-shaped thing, which is a group of radiating metal lines, which seems to express something. An amorphous ball of light or thunder and lightning. Vivian looked at the sculpture and muttered: "It's kind of like recording Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

Hao Ren said nothing, just bent down and gently brushed away the thick dust on the base of the sculpture. Unsurprisingly, there are still uneven embossed writings there, and the passage of more than 10,000 years has not completely erased the writing on this special alloy. There is a brief sentence written on it: "Always remember and thank the people of the stars for their warning to us."

"People of the starry sky?" Lily muttered strangely, "Aliens?"

Nangong Wuyue frowned and thought for a while: "Could it be that these aliens called the people of the starry sky came to warn us that the humans on this planet built the Ark?"

Hao Ren didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the word "people of the starry sky". He felt an inexplicable sense of sight coming to his heart. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that he had seen similar statements in other places. : "'Allies from the Stars' - do you remember that this group was mentioned on the planet Horleta?"

With his reminder, others remembered this incident one after another. Nangong Wuyue stared at it and felt it was incredible: "You said that the people of the starry sky mentioned here and the 'Allies of the Stars' in Horleta are the same group of people? "

"It's just a guess." Hao Ren stood up and looked at the abstract lines above the sculpture group, "Many things in the dream plane are connected together. So far, nothing that happened on any planet is isolated. "

Lily raised her head and looked at the sculpture for a long time, and suddenly felt something: "The people of the starry sky look like sea urchins."

Nangong Wuyue corrected him seriously: "Sea urchins don't look like this - if you don't believe me, I will change it for you..."

"You two, be quiet." Vivian glared at the dog and the fish, "Let's go. Maybe there will be more clues going forward."

The group of people searched around the building and finally found an underground space under the building. This underground space is unusually wide, almost the same size as the saucer-shaped building above. In the center of this giant basement, you can see a large facility composed of several arc-shaped structures that looks like an elevator bracket. Lily ran to the facility and lowered her head to look down. She immediately squatted on the ground and crawled back quickly: "It's so deep down there!"

In the center of the "elevator support" is a hollow with a radius of more than ten meters, and a straight downward tunnel extending into the endless darkness. Remaining alloy guide rails can be seen on the four walls of the tunnel, but the elevator that should be at the top of the tunnel is missing.

Of course, even if the lift was still here, it's hard to say whether it would still be usable - unlike a city shelter, this place shows little sign of maintenance.

Vivian casually transformed a small bat and threw it down. After waiting for a long time, she shrugged: "It hasn't fallen to the bottom yet."

Lily raised her hands and shouted, "I won't jump anyway! I'll bite whoever forces me!"

"You are not needed," Hao Ren rolled his eyes, "Vivian, let's go down - the others can wait up here."
