Section 58 Steel Base
"This is the so-called Oasis of the Sea? Doesn't it look special?"
Zhan Funi said with a frown.
This is the dawn of the next day. More than twenty hours have passed since the two entered the construction country of King of the Sea.
They stood on a small hill and looked down. Below were the green grass mats that were rare in the desert, but it seemed that it was nothing more than that.
This oasis does not have any witchcraft atmosphere, it looks like an ordinary habitat.
Lance carefully checked and made sure there were indeed no enemies in the oasis - most importantly, the component, and then he took the lead in entering the vast oasis.
It is called an oasis, but it is actually just a small wetland.
Surrounding the wetland are bulging sand dunes. When they slide down, they are consolidated into mud by wet water vapor and a large amount of green grass. A shallow lake appears in the center of the oasis, and other than that, the oasis is empty and nothing.
"The lake is very shallow." Zhan Funi stood by the water and looked down.
The water plants at the bottom of the water can be seen at a glance, so the lake is naturally not much deeper.
Apart from this lake, there seems to be nothing special in other places in the oasis.
Lance walked around the oasis. This place was actually as big as two or three football fields, with a clear view and almost no place to hide things.
"This is unlikely. The notebook says that every time a batch of construction boxes will appear in the Hashi Oasis. Construction boxes are the targets for the six elite construction bodies. No matter what, there should be at least one transmission setting here."
He said decisively.
"It's not on top, it's just down."
After saying that, he set his sight on Zhan Funi. The latter nodded slightly, knowing that Lance wanted to use her bloodline abilities to find out under the oasis if there was any special thing.
"I can try it, but the water vapor here is too heavy, not a pure desert. My blood abilities may not be able to reach a deep place."
Zhan Funi said as she lay gently on the ground. Her body showed amazing flexibility, as if a human-shaped scorpion was lying on the ground.
The next second, dark red scales grew on her body, and her whole body turned into a half-human and half-scorpion image.
With a whoosh, a red light flashed and she disappeared from the spot.
Lance walked over and saw only a very tiny hole on the flat straw mat.
He waited for about ten minutes on the oasis. When Zhan Funi appeared in front of him again, the latter's image had become a little embarrassed.
"I hate water vapor."
While tidying up the clothes stained with mud, she frowned and said coldly: "I checked it carefully. There was no strange thing within at least thirty feet of the ground. I couldn't get down any further. The soil here was very strong, not as soft as quicksand, and I didn't obey my orders at all."
"That's strange."
Lance was a little surprised. Could this oasis of the vast ocean really just look like that. There is no mystery at all?
What the notebook mentioned is the wrong judgment made by the black elves before they die?
But yesterday when the three elite constituents gathered together, Lance did hear the term "Oasis Battle" from the Corpse King, and there is no mistake.
Since it is a fight, it means that there must be something worth fighting for in this oasis.
"Below." Lance slapped his hands and suddenly said.
"What's below?" Zhan Funi was stunned and a little dissatisfied: "Do you want me to go there again?"
"No, it's underwater."
Lance quickly walked to the lake. The water in this lake is very dark in color, but you can see the bottom at a glance.
This situation is abnormal.
"Look at the water in the lake, such a deep color, it proves that the water depth is at least fifty feet; but according to our vision, the bottom of the lake is only a dozen feet at most." Lance stepped in, and the soft soil immediately wrapped him up, and his whole body fell a little.
"You mean. Is there something wrong with the bottom of the lake?" Zhan Funi immediately leaned over.
Lance nodded, and he slowly advanced towards the center of the lake.
He walked very carefully every step. A good touch came from the mud under his feet, and soon the mud spread across his knees. The lake water reached his waist.
"Have you found anything?" Zhan Funi shouted while standing on the shore.
“It’s still exploring.”
Lance said as he took another step forward.
Who knew that at this moment, he suddenly lost his balance!
Because of this kick, he completely stepped on the empty space!
There was no mud, but a total vacuum - he was caught off guard, tilted forward, and fell into the water with a thump.
In a hurry, he seemed to feel like he was stepping on a thin film, and his whole body suddenly fell downwards-
With a snap, a dizzy sound, Lance felt a severe pain in his buttocks, and he fell on the cold steel floor.
“Hell…”
Lance raised his head and saw the water light shaking above, and a layer of material that seemed to be present and non-existent was isolated on it, as if it was a translucent film.
It is that thin film that separates the entire underground space from the lake above, but from the shore, there is no mystery at all.
Before he could stand up, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and the sound of water sounded, and the shadow fell down like Lance.
But her instinct was stronger and stronger. During the fall, she adjusted her posture and landed steadily beside Lance.
"It seems you've found the right landing posture?"
Jenfuni rarely saw Lance being defeated and actually showed a rare smile.
Lance stood up with nonchalant patted his butt, his eyes turned to the surrounding buildings and murmured:
"To be precise, I discovered the secret of the oasis."
...
An underground steel base built under the oasis of the vast sea, a building box gathering center with extremely tough architectural style.
This is the evaluation that Lance and Jenfuni made in their minds after wandering around the base.
The entire base is actually not big, comparable to the Haunhai Oasis. The most common ones in the base are piles of structural boxes - of course, these structural boxes are undoubtedly empty.
Lance counted and found that there were at least hundreds of empty building boxes here, which means that from the beginning to now, each person has obtained at least seventeen or eighteen building parts on average. These building parts include various equipment, weapons and functional modules that can only be used by the building body, which can greatly enhance the strength of the building body.
In addition to these built-in boxes, Lance and Jenfoni also discovered two of the most important buildings in the Hashi Oasis Base.
The first building is a building with a warehouse-like appearance, which is written in a common term: [Construction Box Distribution Branch].
The warehouse has no gate, and there is a thick pipe above it and I don’t know where to lead.
The only exit is a constantly working conveyor belt. At this time, the conveyor belt is empty, but Lance noticed that the empty components are concentrated near the terminal of the conveyor belt.
This means that what the Black Elf said in his notebook is likely to be true.
"Since there is a branch, there will naturally be a headquarters. The King of the Sea may not even be the tip of the iceberg in the entire dark structure country. These small structure countries form the entire steel maze and also form the masterpieces that Master William has made throughout his life." Lance said with some emotion: "This should be the place where the six elite structures are competing for."
"There are traces of battle everywhere," Zhan Funi also agreed with this view: "But no one is stationed in this place in normal times, which means that the time you said to be the [Headquarters] to deliver the packaged boxes to the Hanhai Oasis branch is fixed, and it can be accurately known by the six elite packages, so they are so calm."
"The Corpse King Shugel said the next time the build box appears is seven days later. This is an opportunity."
Lance lowered his head and thought, and walked to the other end of the steel base.
Here, a portal with a very metallic beauty is built.
Next to the portal, there was a huge notice, with a few lines of words written in human language.
It was these lines that made Lance and Jenfoni overjoyed because they found a way to leave the desert of the sea.
"This is said that this portal leads directly to the Tower of Steel, but if you want to open the portal, you must insert a magic chip with at least an elite-level component."
Lance carefully read the above description again and said slowly: "A magic chip can transmit us to the first floor of the Tower of Steel. If it is two, it is the second floor - if it is six, then we can directly reach the sixth floor of the Tower of Steel! This seems to be a very tempting condition. The rulemakers seem to be luring us to kill these six elite components - one without leaving any."
"Do we have such ability?" said Jen Funi cautiously: "How many elite constructs can you deal with?"
Lance did not answer her, but just continued to say it on his own:
"But those constructs should also see such rules?"
"I think, I understand why they are constantly fighting!"
"Because - they want to leave this place like us! So they keep fighting each other and want to get each other's magic chips, not their own!"
Jenfoni was stunned by Lance's sudden thoughts. But she quickly asked back: "What's the point?"
"Of course there is." Lance smiled happily: "This gives us a chance - an opportunity to capture all the six elite components in one go!"
Before he finished speaking, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the other side of the steel base.
Chapter completed!
