Soul of Burning Steel

? "Da, da, da."

Between the steel channels, the faint blue light flickered, and the magical power flowed, and a clear and heavy pedaling sound could be heard.

At this time, Joshua and the others were moving toward the deeper part of the pyramid under the guidance of No. 3. Their goal was below the central area.

After talking with Moria and others for a while, Joshua decided to believe what No. 3 said for the time being. After all, no matter how doubtful she was, she did not show any malice from the beginning, as they were in this world. The only existence that can communicate, Joshua still has many questions to ask her.

Of course, the first goal is naturally to find it first. After all, they don’t know how long they will stay here. The source of food and water is very important. After telling this to No. 3, the artificial intelligence leads them to a channel that leads to the bottom. in.

There are countless intersecting channels inside the huge pyramid, some with blue light shining, and some have been completely extinguished. According to the words of No. 3, due to lack of personnel to maintain, even if the mobile fortress has the ability to self-regulate, it has accumulated a lot of irreparable over the millennia. The breakage.

"We are passing through the energy storage area and are about to reach the destination." No. 3 quietly reported: "The food storage area is on the other side, but after a thousand years, it probably has all turned into mud."

Above the crowd is the core dogmatic area that is in the center and regulates energy transportation, and below it is the living area and ecological cycle area where people live.

The light ahead is getting brighter and brighter. Without the reminder of No. 3, Joshua can also feel the more and more obvious breath of life. It is the completely opposite feeling to the dead and deserted wilderness outside the pyramid, and the corner of Kleel’s mouth is also Slightly tilted, she also sensed the message of natural existence.

The steel passage began to expand, the original passage opening became wider and wider, and the flow of wind began to become obvious. Everyone continued to move forward and finally reached the end of the passage. They crossed a half made of magic. The transparent barrier entered a vast space.

The surging breath of life rushed toward her face, and Joshua raised her head and stared at everything in front of her.

The place where he enters the eye is a blue-green world. The huge man-made earth and sky dome extend endlessly before his eyes. Compared with this huge space, their group is as small as ants. The lush and exotic plants shook their blue-green leaves under the wind blowing, making a rattling sound, and scattered shrubs and weeds on the dark brown ground.

"Here is the ecological recycling zone."

In the voice of No. 3, everyone is observing the world.

"It really looks so different." The old dwarf said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there is such a large piece of land in this pyramid."

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it in his hands, and nodded: "The soil is not bad, not fertile, but it's still within the normal range."

Claire also observes the surrounding environment, fields, forests, hills, cliffs, and the small lake not far away. In the huge space inside this pyramid, everything has everything, although compared to the real The world is extremely small, but it is indeed a complete ecological cycle...

No, it is not complete.

Because whether it was Joshua or Rin, Moria or Kleel, the four of them did not find traces of half an animal during a period of observation. What they saw were only some silent ancient trees and scattered pieces. Little plants, not even insects.

"Only plants are stable."

Seeing the doubts in everyone’s eyes, No. 3 opened his mouth to explain, and a calm and lacking emotional voice sounded: “The artificial natural circulation is fragile. Without the adjustment of the Karlis people, only a little mistake will be caused here. The destruction of salvation... In this completely safe and enclosed environment, all animals have exhausted their potential. Repeated inbreeding has caused genetic diseases to become more serious, and even lost their ability to leave offspring. Go out."

Saying this, No. 3 seems to be laughing at himself: “Just like the lingering world outside, in fact, these plants are about to be unsustainable. I tried my best to maintain this ecological cycle area after the extinction of the Karlis people. Stability, although effective, but not great."

Neither Moria nor Kleel understood what No. 3 said, frowning, while Rin explained to them.

"...Well, indeed, she was right, and the plants here are dying."

After listening to the dignified narration, Claire knelt down and gently touched the grass and bushes beside him, with a light green luster flowing in his hands. She closed her eyes and communicated with this tiny piece of nature.

After that, the elf sighed and stood up. She shook her head and did not continue to say anything.

And Joshua and Moria are looking around, and their faces are not much better. Although they have prepared for the worst in their hearts, the current situation is not bad, but they are definitely not optimistic.

"It doesn't matter if there is no animal. Even if it is bark, I can digest it and convert it into energy." Joshua frowned slightly. He took a step forward and whispered to No. 3, "It can be buried underground. What's the matter with that large piece of bones?"

He waved his hand, the red grudge lifted the mud, and immediately countless pale creature bones appeared in front of everyone. Among them were unknown creatures and Carlisians. All the bones were covered by a thin layer of mud. , Buried under the earth, most of them are incomparably broken, leaving only a little stone-like debris.

But Moria, who was also aware of this before, didn’t care about these bones. He just stood behind Joshua, frowning, and with golden eyes, he watched the warrior using unknowable language and number 3. communicate with.

Joshua Radcliffe, the descendant of the deceased who inherited the name of the Radcliffe family, has simply returned to his hometown after learning of his father’s death. The warrior who inherited the title can do all the things he has done. On the same level as miracle, whether it is the team that killed his uncle alone, or repelled the Kuroshio twice in a row and closed the time-space gate, this time he came to this doomsday world because of his accident. The crystallization of block steel.

And he can actually speak the language of another world, and he can communicate with artificial intelligence beings in another world...All of this feels so weird, it seems that it has already been set.

"The gods are on..."

The old dwarf murmured, "Damn it, it's almost like a legend."

Even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't help but think of the word destiny in his heart.

And Qiao Xiuya is still communicating with No. 3.

"The bones in front of you are the remnants of the warriors who fought against chaos thousands of years ago."

The artificial intelligence with black wings answered Joshua’s question: "At the last day of civilization a thousand years ago, they decided to die here, not only here, but also in the Crystal Sun Church above. A lot of bones, you have seen all of them if you want to come."

After a short pause, No. 3 seemed to be processing the information in the fortress, and then said: "There are more bones in the nearby living quarters ~ www.novelmtl.com~ Most of them have been decomposed by magic, and it is theirs The gathering of souls in the central dogmatic area of ​​the fortress gave me wisdom."

"is it."

Nodding slightly, Joshua suddenly thought of something. His voice passed through the armor and looked a little dull: "No. 3, have you been wandering on this land for many years?"

"To be precise, it is one thousand and seventy-two years."

No. 3 leaned slightly: "Of course, if it refers to my self-consciousness, it is only for nearly a thousand years."

"well."

Qiao Xiuya was very satisfied with this answer. He looked directly into the eyes of the artificial intelligence projection: "Then can you explain to us the reasons for the strange phenomena in the outside world? And some special areas in this world."

If the warrior pointed out something: "For example, the place where the gods gather."
