Chapter 183 The Strange Gravekeeper
No more than three months? Artyom was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help asking.
"Could it be that there are still living people on this planet?"
The gatekeeper did not respond.
Artyom calmed himself down and quickly asked the hunter to come over, break off a petal and send it back to the armored vehicle for inspection.
10 minutes later...
Looking at the test results in his hand, Artyom looked up excitedly.
"Mr. Gatekeeper, just as you expected, this flower is new and was frozen only a month ago at most!"
"There are still survivors on this planet! We must find them first!"
The gatekeeper just nodded and said nothing.
Artyom fell into deep thought. Now there was only one way to find them, and that was to explore the nearby planetary engines and the United Government headquarters ahead.
Maybe you can access the internal network of The Wandering Earth.
Secondly, a large signal base station will be built locally to send signals to the world, and as long as there are survivors, they will definitely receive it.
He immediately made arrangements, asking Momonga to stay with an armored vehicle and a gatekeeper to build a temporary base for the mutual aid association and set up a signal station.
He himself led two teams to the headquarters of the United Government!
......
"What happened next?" Guan Sheng couldn't help but ask curiously at the Gabon base in Africa in the Terminator world.
"Did you find the person who sent the flower?"
Artyom sighed, "We did find it, but it's a little different from what we imagined."
......
A few days ago, in the Wandering Earth world, inside the Earth United Government Headquarters.
A burst of light pierced the darkness and hit the facilities inside.
However, due to the damage to the headquarters' outer wall, the icy wind and snow rushed in, covering all the equipment inside with a layer of frost.
The light changed direction again and hit the UEG logo in the headquarters corridor.
As the armored hand wiped away the frost on the symbol, a whisper echoed within the facility.
"The solar helium flash is a lie! They're lying to us!"
"Long live digital life..."
"The Earth Alliance will win → The Earth Alliance will lose!"
Artyom withdrew his hand and frowned slightly.
The words "certain victory" were crossed out and replaced with "certain defeat", which was obviously done by the rebels.
Looking at the frost on his hands, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"The frost on this sentence is obviously much thinner. Before me, there were others who came here and also read this sentence."
Artyom looked into the deep passage and gave instructions over the radio, where only the breathing of his team members could be heard.
"Ready your weapons, but do not fire the first shot without my order!"
"Yes!"
"Roger that!"
"Hunter, you will be my guard." After saying that, Artyom was the first to step into the depths of the facility.
The footsteps echoed in the aerial facility for a long time. As the searchlight shone over, everyone's faces looked grim.
Because the interior of the facility was so strange, a large number of thumb-sized black metals were scattered on the ground, either due to failure or other reasons, and were frozen together by frost.
Even though the temperature inside the facility was only minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.
Except for the load-bearing structure inside the facility, most of the exterior walls were damaged. Judging from the damaged bottom of the wall, it seemed as if something had drilled out from inside the wall.
Looking at the black metal cylinder on the ground, Artyom made a bold guess.
The rebels' attack was not a spur-of-the-moment act. Perhaps they had already been active before the construction of the United Government headquarters, and even placed these devices inside the headquarters.
Decades of calculation...
Artyom couldn't help but shudder. The chill inside the protective equipment penetrated the shell of the heavy cavalry armor and acted directly on his body.
The hunter asked in a muffled voice.
"Boss, do you want to collect some samples?"
Artyom nodded.
Yes, of course. These are important evidences for analyzing The Wandering Earth.
After getting permission, the hunter took out the impact drill and hit the ground without hesitation.
But before the drill landed, a beam of blue light suddenly pierced through the darkness of the corridor and hit the hunter's armor directly.
"Bang!" Before Artyom could react, he heard a crash.
The hunter, wearing armor weighing nearly a ton, was unexpectedly knocked flying by the attack, smashing a pot of frozen green plants and rubbing a large piece of ice on the wall before stopping.
"Enemy attack--!" Artyom reacted quickly, gripping the plasma rifle tightly and looking forward.
A mechanical sound echoed deep in the dark passage.
"Warning! You have severely damaged cultural relics! If you commit similar acts again, I will enforce Regulation No. 132."
"Stop!" Artyom exercised utmost restraint and pointed in the direction of the hunter.
"Are you okay?"
The hunter got up from the ground with a very unpleasant tone.
"Sokabile! My power pack is damaged, and the armor battery power consumption has increased by two times."
Artyom breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, only the power backpack was damaged, and I can share energy with my teammates' backpacks, so it's not a big problem.
Now... the most important thing is the person who just spoke, or the machine.
Remembering what the president had said, Artyom looked into the depths of the passage where there was no response after speaking, and asked tentatively.
"MOSS?"
The sound echoed through the passages, but the voice did not answer.
Just as Artyom was getting impatient, the sound of metal limbs hitting the ice was heard.
A mechanical body appeared in the searchlight.
The mechanical body had six arthropods and a huge spider-like abdomen, on top of which was a half-human body, except that the half-human body had three pairs of arms attached.
This mechanical body doesn't look human at all.
Artyom frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on the plasma rifle.
"You just said we were destroying cultural relics? Who are you, the caretaker left here by the rebels?"
The robot straightened up and suddenly started to chuckle.
"Rebels? That's an interesting way of putting it. You're very similar to those remnants."
At this point, the components on the robot's face moved, revealing disdain and fanaticism just like a human face.
"But unfortunately, I am not from them. I only serve one master - the great race Yis!"
"However... in order to better manage this facility, I have taken over some of the data of what you call MOSS. You can also call me that."
After saying this, the machine suddenly looked at Artyom and the Rangers in amazement.
"How bizarre. You actually have the smell of time traveling, and also a smell of..."
Halfway through his words, the mechanical body's facial expression component suddenly revealed a hint of fear, and he couldn't help but look outside the United Government headquarters.
"Ancient God... How come you guys have the aura of the Ancient God on you!"
"Get out of here quickly, don't attract those things!"
