Chapter 555

"What's this?" Poddy asked.

"I'm going to ask you." Allerica replied.

The person sitting on top of the huge iron ball, a person who is still alive today and has obvious local characteristics in appearance, has been laid flat on the ground by Yale Liga at this time.She called Qiaoqiao Tianyi, hoping to use the ability of a spaceship expert to understand what happened inside this person.And Qiaoqiao Tianyi brought two local people along the way—she didn't like them, but it seemed difficult to refuse some requests from the weak.

The two natives were visibly taken aback when the upturned horns of Skywing shone brightly.They all knew that the never-before-seen animal could speak the same language as Yalerica, but they still seemed to regard her as some kind of very intelligent alien pet.At this moment, Bodi's impact is far greater than that of Yi, because he is already one of the few existences in this world who have approached immortality.

"What is it doing?" he asked Allerica. "What is it doing to the Ageless?"

"Are you sure this is an immortal."

"His costume is like. And you see, he has a very youthful appearance."

Allerica did see what he said.The haggardness of the living dead was due to lack of nutrition, but the bones and back did not show the bending and shrinking of the natives when they were old.His clothing was also in good condition, unlike Ey's work clothes or Poddy's long cloth.A gorgeous but light way of wearing is not in line with the fashion aesthetics of the local people in Yale Liga's impression.

She shook the golden ball in her hand: "Do you have any impression of this? He held it in his arms."

Both Poddy and Ee looked carefully at the brilliant toy.It seemed to be made of gold, with two nested structures inside and outside, which jingled when shaken.A very delicate object, perhaps a bell or musical instrument.

They all denied seeing anything like it.

"I don't know what entertainment old people usually take," Boddy said. "Maybe this is his favorite collection."

"When he became like this, was he still in his arms?"

"People always have the right to choose their funeral objects."

But it wasn't a dead man.She confirmed this to them again when Sky Wing extinguished the light in the horn.But at the same time, she also said that there were not many mechanical components in the human body that she could detect, at least not as many as Bodi.His digestive, secretory and excretory systems have been partially modified to allow him to absorb nutrients more easily.More touch and taste receptors.The outer layer of the bone is reinforced with alloy, but the modification is also very cautious.

"It's quite a modification for pleasure and life," she concluded. "However, these modifications are not enough to delay aging. I think they used non-mechanical methods, such as growing replaceable transplant organs. This is not me. It's something that can be detected by the talent. This is still quite strange. Yalai, look at him, he is still alive, although the base consumption is very low, but it is much higher than the freezing, if this is from more than 100 years ago During this period of time, he should have left only mechanical parts and a little tissue. I don’t know if this is the special influence of the environment, but the environment here is not a vacuum.”

"Maybe he has another photosynthetic nutritional system in his body."

"I don't know. Are you going to take him aboard for examination? We don't have any special equipment, and that might take some time."

Allerica really thought so.But before that, Boddy started to walk towards the very center of the iron ball and the bracket, only a dozen steps away from them.There is a fairly obvious passageway that allows humans and small aircraft to enter and exit.It is tightly closed at this time, but it does not look difficult to destroy.

Yi stopped in front of Boddy: "What do you want to do?"

"Damn it," Boddy said, "what am I going to do? I want to figure out what the hell is going on here instead of standing around talking. I want an explanation for 100+ years. And you, if you're going to live Half my age, get out of my way now."

Boddy's arms are raised upwards, in a potentially aggressive position.He had no doubt he could cut her into several pieces in a second, so Yareriga went up and pulled her away.She saw Poddy's cheeks twitch, the skin around his ears puckered up in a beastly look of pain.

He circled Yarérica, pounding with his fists, then tearing with his fingers.The thin door of the alloy passage was roughly opened by him.

Yi, who witnessed this behavior, was taken aback.He seemed to realize at this moment what kind of monster he had fought against.Allerica patted him on the shoulder.

"You go back to the ship first," she said. "I'm not sure it's safe up here. Whatever made the Ageless ones like this is probably still hidden in their base."

"What about you?"

"I'll go in and have a look. I have experience with such places."

Yi hesitated.He looked again at the entrance of the passage, just in time to see Poddy jump into it.There was a harsh tearing sound from the pipes, as if someone was climbing down the wall.He turned his head again, looking at Yale Liga with burning eyes.

"I'll go down too," he said.

"That's not very safe."

"I'll be careful."

Careful is not enough.But when Alice Skywing started coughing and flapping her wings next to them, Yareriga didn't intend to continue the argument.Time was delayed.Although Podie was a bastard, he was also the person she found who knew the old man best, and throwing him away would do more harm than good to the investigation.

She handed Yi the golden ball in her hand.

"You keep this. Maybe it's something important."

Yi held the ball firmly in his arms.Then he sat on Tianyi's upturned back awkwardly, and flew into the vertical downward passage with her help.

"Hey, I should be the one who is upset!" Qiaoqiao Tianyi protested, "I don't like being next to strangers' butts!"

Yi was even more disturbed.He turned his head and stared at Yale Liga sitting behind, as if expecting her to give her some strength, but Yale Liga didn't pay attention to this small problem.Her attention had been turned to the interior of the old man's dwelling.

The passage is bright.The lighting beams running along the walls are mostly intact.The air is unobstructed, but the dust is almost invisible. It seems that the purification and circulation system has worked well for a century.Everything is lovingly maintained as it was not so long ago.

No one came out to greet them.There was no weapon resistance either.After landing, it is a vast and warm round hall.

The floor of the rotunda is emerald green.A lush, smooth green meadow.From lack of pruning, it grew to Yareriga's knees.There are strings of colorful flowers dotted among the grass, shaped like finger-sized birds.There is flowing water flowing down the wall of the hall, exuding the sweet smell of medicine and essence.The lights covered the top, but they were uniform and not dazzling. Yareriga almost thought that she was in the daytime of Esen Island.

Yi sat on the back of the upturned Tianyi, staring at the grass under her feet with a little horror.He probably didn't know this part from Yale Liga's memory, because he thought these carpets with sharp ends and raised ends were some kind of deadly trap.

"This is grass—grass." Qiaoqiao Tianyi said, "It won't bite you. It's usually edible. Look. They're so smooth."

She leaned over and took a bite of the grass, and spat it out under Yareriga's warning sight.Then bounced and threw Yi off his back.

"Don't be so careless. There may be poison in the plant."

"Oh, poison doesn't matter to me. I have been blessed. And, you see, the grass is soft and smooth, and they can't cut the skin. I guess this is the owner's decoration-but I want to say Not there."

They look there.Boddy was standing in front of an arched passage, watching what was going on inside.He put one foot forward, but didn't go in.The sight in the passage worried him.

Allerica walked beside him.She mentally prepared herself, guessing that she was going to see some horrific images.But there were no dead bodies in the passage as she thought, or anything beyond bearable.

There was indeed something guarding the passage, but it was difficult for Yareriga to say whether it had ever been a living thing.That thing, like a mechanical disc with four small wheels, is about half the height of a person.There is a blinking light on the top.There are also some confusing parts scattered around this mechanical disk: some are obviously guns and sharp weapons, and others are also dark and smooth thin shafts.They are completely falling apart.

"What is this?" Yale Liga asked.

Poddy stared at the mechanical disc, and after a while replied: "My kind."

"I've seen your feet."

"That's not important. This thing... I've seen similar ones. During training, their transformation methods are different from ours. They are used by the immortals to garrison their own bases."

"So, the top of that wheel?"

"It's supposed to be a person. Like my upper body. And those weapons should be in six or eight of his hands."

They couldn't find any human tissue among the scattered parts, which seemed to have completely decayed over the centuries.As they walked in, the light on the mechanical disc flickered sharply, as if a living thing was blinking.But the wheels didn't turn, and the weapons on the ground wouldn't jump up and fire automatically.The part responsible for making decisions is gone.

Boddy stepped slowly across the mechanical disc.The conclusion has become obvious.If all the guards are gone, all the defenses are down - that means the base is indeed destroyed.While the guards and spies were fulfilling their duties on earth, their master was dead.Do not.not die.

Boddy walked down the passage, and the others followed him.They walked through many beautiful and strange rooms.Even the chairs are also banquet halls made of precious stones.A massage room that looks like the belly of a giant beast.In a spacious room with six sides as soft as flesh, naked and inanimate male and female dolls sit quietly, but the energy lines behind them are all cut off.The room is full of liquid, and when swimming in it, it exudes the fragrance of wine.Just like in every space before, they found the immortal still alive but unresponsive at the bottom of the water.

not die.Bodi lifted the immortal from the bottom of the water up.As they continued walking, Yareriga counted each living dead found.They don't go into every room, they just follow the downward passage.But she had counted to 340 two.

Finally, they went to the very bottom.

It was a garden that both Yi and Bodi were very confused.The sky is a light and transparent rose red.Flowers that even Yarrica didn't know covered the floor and the fence.They even saw strange animals, which have formed a population balance in the garden over the past hundred years.

At the bottom of this sunken garden, there are the last immortals sitting in a basket-like gazebo.The gazebo itself wasn't closed, but some kind of sonic repeller was still in place, keeping the occupants from being eaten by the carnivorous creatures prowling outside.The dozen or so men and women were still sitting, silently looking at the entrance.

Poddy entered the gazebo first.With slow steps, he approached the middle pair of men and women.Because of the cover of his body, no one knew what he saw.But he froze in place, almost as if he, too, had become the living dead.

Allerica called him.Boddy turned his head and stared at her head strangely.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Poddy moved away, his gaze still fixed on Yareriga.His reasons were quickly revealed to the rest.

The pair of men and women sitting in the middle each had an unusual thing placed on their legs.On the man's lap is a very standard miniature projection playback device, which can be easily bought in the gate city; on the woman's lap is a metal flower, which is made of the same material as the chariot placed in the city.Dim and colorful.The rough surface of the metal branches has a unique, lamella-like texture.At the tip of the branch that split in two, two five-petaled flowers protruded from the fingers of the living dead.

Checking took a while.They ended up activating the projector in the clearing.When the language selection interface is reflected in the air, only one of the three options can be understood by Yale Liga.She clicked play.

The image that appeared in front of them created an illusion for Yale Liga in a short period of time.She seemed to see a nearly 30-year-old Jing Juan, with her hair tied back, wearing a simple linen shirt and tarpaulin trousers, with her arms sleeves rolled up to her elbows.He sat in the jeweled chair of the banquet hall they had seen, with no expression on his face, but followed by a conciliatory smile-it was the moment that Yale Liga and the former owner of the Silence Separated.

"Record [-]." He said, "Researchers from the alliance, hello, I'm Ji Xun."
