The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Isn’t this the weird one that the weird baby wants?

"Is there something else strange here?" Shen Ge opened the [Map] and took a look. There was indeed a red dot displayed at his location, covering the entire observation tower.

"Oh, yes, if it's not underground, it's not called a research institute." Shen Ge called Luo Jun over.

"Although you usually go to the research institute through a teleportation device, you should have been to the ground before, right?" Shen Ge asked.

Luo Jun replied: "I've been there. There's a circular six-story building on top. But the base has a large underground area. Maybe... it's right below here?"

After a pause, Luo Jun said, "But boss, even if we know that the research institute is underneath, it's useless. We can't dig all the way down, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Either wait here for me to come back, or find a place to hide." After saying this, Shen Ge walked towards the first floor of the observation tower.

Luo Jun originally wanted to follow and see what Shen Ge was going to do, or whether it was to let the strange baby waiting outside to "dig a hole" mysteriously?
Along the way, Luo Jun also discovered that although the strange baby had no desire to attack Shen Ge, it did not obey his orders either.

Is it really possible to command the strange baby to act strangely?

Unexpectedly, in a moment of trance, Shen Ge disappeared from his sight.

"Big, big boss?"

Inside the tower, he was alone. Outside the tower, a strange baby was stepping on and ravaging an unknown mass of dirt.

"Boss, even if you disappear, please take the weirdness with you!" Luo Jun felt terrible.

At this time, Shen Ge had already gone underground through "collapse".

Due to the impact of the battle, there is almost no intact area in the base.

Shen Ge also searched for a long time through the atomization state combined with "collapse" before he found a place to stay.

After Xiao Qi extended the blood-corrupted tentacles of the Red Mist Armor to move away the collapsed rubble in front, there was a passage leading to the underground behind him.

Most of the passage collapsed, but it did not have much impact on Shen Ge who was able to maintain his atomized state.

"It's strange. There are clearly strange energy fluctuations here, and the map also shows something strange. Why don't I feel anything at all?" Shen Ge said with some confusion.

Xiaoqi remained alert the entire time and did not notice any danger around him.

However, in this kind of environment, Shen Ge felt that the possibility of the three food experts surviving was very slim.

Speaking of this mission, Shen Ge was still a little confused, that is, after staying in the foggy area for such a long time, he did not see any other rescue teams appear.

It’s impossible that the rescue teams can’t even enter the foggy area, right?
After passing through a long corridor, Shen Ge stood in front of a half-collapsed metal hatch.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a voice scan: "A living being is detected approaching. We are testing whether it is a base staff. Please step forward."

"Brother, you are still so dedicated even though the cabin is half collapsed?" Shen Ge complained helplessly when he saw the tattered metal hatch.

"Student Xiaoqi, can you crack it?" Shen Ge asked.

Although Shen Ge can move around the base unimpeded through "collapse", maintaining the strange domain requires consumption of strange energy. Even though he has long since gotten over the energy consumption issue of opening the strange domain, there is no need to keep it open all the time.

What's more, Shen Ge is accustomed to maintaining the "invisible barrier" of the strange domain for defense. Opening a single strange domain does not consume much strange energy, but opening two strange domains is still a bit troublesome.

"Master, please wait a moment. We are already trying to crack the operating system here." The moment the hatch prompt sounded, Xiao Qi took the initiative to release a few blood spiders, trying to find the system connection interface of the hatch to break through.

"I've got it, master. Wait a moment while I try to open the hatch." Xiao Qi successfully cracked the hatch in just two minutes. Although most of the hatch collapsed, the escape door on the right was opened under the influence of emergency measures.

Shen Ge was about to go in, but he found that the ground behind the door was covered with a thick layer of disgusting fungal carpet, and there were strange corpse parts scattered everywhere, some of which were even wriggling.

"From the damage to the hatch, there are no signs of an attack from outside. It seems that, as we speculated, the researchers inside must have done something weird again, causing a catastrophe to break out inside and destroy the base."

Shen Ge suddenly thought that bringing so many "local specialties" back to Li Xiang might lead to the collapse of the Rong City branch one day.

After all, similar incidents have happened before, and fortunately they were suppressed quickly enough.

In the past, Shen Ge always used invisible barriers to tiptoe around to avoid stepping on the fungal mats.

Now with the protection of the red mist armor, he can step on it directly, and it will also be convenient for Xiaoqi to collect data here.

However, just as Shen Ge was walking in the fungal mat, a weak suction force came.

"Master." Xiao Qi was about to remind Shen Ge when he was interrupted by Shen Ge.

"I feel it. This suction force is not enough to affect the Red Mist Armor, not to mention that I haven't performed any attribute enhancement yet. You continue to collect data."

"Understood, Master."

Shen Ge used the strange energy flashlight to observe the surrounding situation, and said with a slightly puzzled tone: "According to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and Luo Jun, it has been less than half a month since the strange disaster appeared here, but judging from the fungal mat and the strange corpses around, it should be more than that. I always feel that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are hiding something..."

Shen Ge always felt that with Luo Jun's "ability", he was obviously more than just a small manager.

He thought about using hypnosis to try to force the other party to extract information, but this irreversible method might not yield any results and would just blow his head apart, which would be a waste of time.

Mainly because of Luo Jun's method of dissecting strange corpses, Shen Ge plans to make use of it.

When the time comes, you will throw him into the "mountains" to work as a laborer, or bring him back to "reality" to learn about the techniques.

Of course, Luo Jun’s greatest value is his connection with the “Monster Association” in Xinhai.

Compared with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, what bothers Shen Ge more is the "Weirdo Association", the mastermind behind the Rongshan Mental Hospital.

Passing through the dark and narrow space, Shen Ge found many bullet holes on a wall and various weapons hanging on the ceiling. The most important thing was that there were undigested human skeletons in the strange pile of corpses and fungal blankets.

"It looks like there was a fierce battle here."

After all, this is one of the major "granaries" supporting Xinjing, so it is not surprising that troops are stationed here.

Shen Ge walked around and finally stopped in front of a hatch that was blocked by a corpse.

"Master, this place is not controlled by the main system and is in a power-off state, so it cannot be controlled." said Xiaoqi.

Shen Ge said it was not a big problem. Just as he was about to use "collapse" to pass through the hatch, a green light suddenly lit up above the door.

"Hello, this is the Base 13 Research Institute. Non-members of the institute are not allowed to enter."

"Please enter your passcode."

?

"Student Xiaoqi, it's time for you to perform." Shen Ge said.

"Okay, Master, please wait." Xiao Qi sent several blood spiders to try to crack it. "Master, this... the hatch is still powered off, and no equipment is detected." Xiao Qi was a little confused for the first time in such a matter.

"Oh? So strange?" Not to mention Xiao Qi, even Shen Ge had never heard of a door that could broadcast voice messages even though there was no control device inside and the power was off.

It can't be that the gate has become a spirit, right?
"It has been detected that someone other than a staff member of the institute has attempted to enter. The random teleportation device has been activated."

beep.

beep.

Deng.

The green light on the door suddenly turned red.

"Activate the random teleportation device?" Shen Ge was stunned. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand why the tragic situation here did not match the time.

"Could it be that the people in this research institute have already managed to connect the strange space with the equipment? If this succeeds, wouldn't it be a major discovery in the study of strange things?"

"No, it will be very difficult to succeed. There may be something strange in the connected strange space in the area that originally had no strangeness."

"So, the people in the institute were wiped out because they opened up the strange space in other areas, which led to the strange invasion of the institute?"

"But even if that's the case, even if the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches concealed the truth and sent a rescue team to 'die', it doesn't make sense that the captain of the 12th team, Yinhu, wouldn't have heard anything about it, right?"

"As far as the few days we spent together were concerned, I didn't offend him and we got along quite well."

"What's more, this time, in addition to sending me, he also sent a few of his trusted followers. Why is that?"

Shen Ge was a little confused.

Another strange thing is that this is the first time that Xiaoqi has encountered a system that he has no way to deal with.

However... as the saying goes, "since we're already here", even though we know that we're on the other side of a strange space, there's no other way to go right now, we can only try it first.

For safety reasons, Shen Ge wrapped himself in red mist armor and used "collapse" to pass through the hatch.

Shen Ge felt a brief feeling of floating, and then he felt the ground under his feet.

Deng.

Deng.

Deng.

At this time, white light lit up on the ceiling in the enclosed space. After appropriate adjustment, it felt like the entire ceiling was made of one integrated light bulb.

The space is not big, only about a few hundred square meters, with a white ceiling, white walls, white floor and empty space, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

But this kind of environment was very different from what Shen Ge had experienced before or what he had imagined, a strange space full of fungal mats and internal organs, which made him dazed for a moment.

"Where did this take me?" Shen Ge looked around in confusion.

At this moment, with a "ding" sound, a green light suddenly lit up on the ceiling, followed by an artificial intelligence voice that was very similar to the one on the hatch before:
"Welcome here, new human. Please tell me your name and number so that I can open the base permissions for you."

Shen Ge did not answer the voice of the artificial intelligence, but asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qi, can you detect the other party's presence?"

Shen Ge’s meaning was very simple. If it could be detected, it meant that Xiao Qi had a way to crack it.

"Report to the master, trying to confirm the target." This time, Xiao Qi sent out a large number of blood spiders, and Shen Ge's body was covered with blood spiders like ants, with a large number of them sliding down.

Unexpectedly, before these blood spiders crawled out two meters, they were blocked by an invisible barrier: "Master, there seems to be an invisible obstacle here."

"New human, please do not use your strange abilities to explore here. The base needs to verify your identity before granting you the corresponding permissions."

Shen Ge frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the artificial intelligence maintaining the base, number 12345," the artificial intelligence replied.

Shen Ge's expression froze, and he complained, "What a random number. Even his voice isn't as nice as my classmate Xiao Qi's."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Xiao Qi responded.

The AI ​​did not get "angry" or show any other reaction because of Shen Ge's complaints. It still said in a very calm voice: "The name is just a code name. The voice can be automatically adjusted according to your permission. I can simulate any voice."

While speaking, the artificial intelligence tried dozens of voice changes, old, young, female, male, charming, deep, and even in different languages.

Shen Ge asked back: "Since you are so capable, can't you just confirm my identity through scanning? Aren't you afraid that I will just give you a random name to fool you?"

The AI ​​replied, "The creator believes that scanning the target's information without their consent is the same as spying. There are not many new humans, so there is no need to make things unpleasant for such a small matter. Therefore, the spying ability has been deleted from the system."

"Really? I don't believe it." Shen Ge wasn't complaining. If one could really master the ability to detect the identity of the other party with just a scan in a confidential place like this, it would be a powerful weapon. No one would believe that the creator would delete it like this.

The artificial intelligence obviously did not have the ability to argue, and continued: "If you don't report the information, you can't open the permission."

"Okay, my name is Li Xiang, my number is '********', my position is the research director of the Rong City branch, my home address is '*******', and my phone number is 183**." Shen Ge's tone was helpless, and he reported a series of information as if he had "compromised".

"Under testing. Unfortunately, the information you provided is false and we cannot enable your permission." The artificial intelligence said calmly.

Shen Ge said: "Since you can't scan my information, how do you know that my information doesn't match? Can anyone other than a new human come here?"

Although Shen Ge seemed to be making trouble for no reason, he was actually trying to buy time for Xiao Qi. While struggling with the artificial intelligence, he released the blood spiders around him through "collapse".

At this time, Xiao Qi was controlling tens of thousands of blood spiders, searching the secret room for the location of the artificial intelligence control terminal.

"Only new humans can come here. If you can come here, you must have your own name and number." said the artificial intelligence.

"Then I don't know the number, so you send me back." Shen Ge said naughtily.

People come here by themselves, but they need others to see them off when they leave.

"Sorry, I can't do it."

Shen Ge asked again: "So what exactly is this place?"

"This is the base, and it is also the ark for the new humans to the future." The artificial intelligence replied truthfully.

and many more!

"Wat Ayutoke Abaot? Where is this?" Shen Ge was stunned. It seemed as if he had come to a place that a group of people dreamed of?
ark?

Something that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches dream of creating? (End of this chapter)
