Life Dungeon Game

They were enclosed in the tower's sealed space, similar to being preserved in an airtight tomb, thus escaping weathering and being preserved.

He glanced back at the destroyed robots before looking away.

These ones

There were no obvious wounds on the bones, and the battle marks on the ground were from several years ago, with no older battle marks left behind.

This proves that the owner of these bones likely did not engage in any fierce battle at the time of their death, and that even the surrounding robots were not involved in the fight.

Some of the bones inside the mechs were still wearing faded, decayed, and broken uniforms, like some kind of military uniform. The owners of these bones were probably soldiers from the Guardian Tower.

Hundreds of years ago, before humanity on this planet went extinct, long before the invasion that destroyed these robots.

The tower may have been subjected to a devastating and bizarre "invasion" that did not damage the tower's gates or even trigger a counterattack from the intelligent machines guarding the tower.

The soldiers guarding the tower in their mech armor didn't even have time to react before they fell into a deep sleep.

More and more strange things are lurking inside this tower.

He Ao took a deep breath and slowly walked deeper into the tower.

If something killed these soldiers hundreds of years ago, it couldn't have only killed those soldiers; everyone in the entire tower would probably have perished in that event.

Even if there were still some order within the tower, the remains of these guards would not be carelessly discarded here.

Judging from the fact that the tower had to set up such tight defenses at its entrance, perhaps the catastrophe that would destroy human civilization on this planet had already begun when the tower's doors were closed.

The people inside the tower most likely used it as a refuge.

However, it now appears that the shelter has not fulfilled its mission.

After entering the tower, there is no straight path leading directly to the center, but rather a circular path along the wall.

The outer side of the ring road is a wall, and the inner side is a series of small doors, most of which are locked. He Ao can sense that the thing that is attracting him is in the center of the tower.

It's impossible to reach the center of the tower via the ring road.

Just as he was contemplating whether to break down one of the iron gates and go inside, a half-open iron gate came into view.

He walked to the door, slowly pushed it open, and the first thing that caught his eye was a spacious basketball court, followed by a tennis court, a badminton court, and neatly arranged ping-pong tables.

This appears to be a recreational sports venue.

He Ao crossed the iron gate.

Skeletons lay on the ground in twisted, random shapes.

These skeletons also showed no signs of resistance or injury.

They must have been people exercising in this stadium when the 'invasion' occurred; they were frozen in eternal stillness before they could make any move.

As Ruo had expected, the 'thing' that killed the soldiers at the gate couldn't have only killed the soldiers.

At first, He Ao thought that the soldiers might have fought back and been injured, but that they hadn't broken any bones.

But now, seeing these athletes lying down so casually, He Ao's thoughts have changed.

Even if people had a little time to escape or resist, they would exhibit a certain tendency to gather or move in a certain direction. The skeletons that are now in front of He Ao are basically all as if they suddenly fell down during movement or observation, and no one made any move to escape.

This proves that disaster can strike in an instant, and these people die before they even have a chance to react.

There are two small, locked doors in the sports field that lead to the left and right areas, but not to the very center of the tower.

After thinking for a moment, He Ao withdrew from the sports field without trying to pry open the two locked doors on the left and right.

He planned to see if there were any other doors that could be opened and lead directly to the very center of the tower.

He walked forward for about several dozen meters, and a new, open gate appeared before him.

Entering through the main gate, there is a long corridor with rows of small, tightly closed doors on both sides. Each door is numbered, suggesting they are dormitories inside the tower.

He Ao walked into the passageway.

He had a premonition that the end of the passageway was the very center of the tower.

This was certainly not because he had gained any prophetic abilities, but because a faint light was coming from the end of the passage, which was particularly dazzling in the dark passage, making him feel that there must be something at the end of the passage.

He Ao quietly continued walking forward along the passageway. He tried to pull the dormitory doors next to him. Some doors were locked tightly, while others were easily opened.

These dormitories were simply furnished: a small bed that had rotted down to just a steel frame and some broken, fibrous material, a small table, and some iron pieces that were so rusted they were unrecognizable, looking like the remains of some household appliances.

These dormitories are basically equipped with small robots as standard. Unlike the other robots in the ruins, these robots are not still active. Instead, they seem to have lost their power and are quietly rusting in the corner.

He Ao tried to pick one up, disassembled the parts inside, and took out something that looked like a motherboard, which was already somewhat damaged.

Because attacking the robots in the ruins would result in a siege, the research institute doesn't seem to have acquired any technology from the ruins yet.

He Ao wasn't involved in these kinds of research, and he couldn't distinguish between them, so he disassembled the parts that looked like precision components, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and carried it on his back.

Since the research institute has never obtained these things before, this should be able to sell for a lot of money.

Things are rare.

Liu Nan stood at the door, quietly watching He Ao.

After He Ao finished packing and came out, she quietly followed behind him.

The two remained silent the entire way. Several times, Liu Nan quickened her pace and walked very close to He Ao, but ultimately she distanced herself from him again.

He Ao seemed oblivious. The passageway was not short, but both of them were strong on their feet, and soon they reached the end of the passageway.

What came into their view was a simple, curved, silver corridor, with bright lights shining on it, creating a stark contrast with the dark passageway.

He Ao stepped into the corridor.

The corridor floor was very clean, with almost no dust, and the air was much fresher than in the passageway. It looked like it had been operating normally all along, not like a facility that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

The air is fresh, which proves that there is a ventilation system.

He looked around but didn't find any obvious ventilation ducts.

It appears to be a concealed ventilation system.

He could sense that what was attracting him was inside the wall on the inside of the corridor, but the direction was not clear and it was somewhat downward, as if the thing was not on the ground.

He shook his head and looked in the left and right directions.

He is now facing the wall on the inside of the corridor, which is open on both the left and right sides.

Based on the architectural style of the outermost circular corridor, it is speculated that the internal structure of the tower may be concentric circles within concentric circles, dividing the space into various areas between the circles.

If it really is this style, then the silver corridor on that side should also be circular, and it shouldn't matter which direction you choose.

He thought for a moment and then chose his right hand based on his intuition.

Liu Nan, standing behind him, paused for a moment, gave him a strange look, but remained silent, following him to the right.

He walked away.

The corridor has a very large curvature, which proves that its radius is not very long. Based on this calculation, the entire corridor should not be very long.

However, He Ao walked for quite a while before he could vaguely see a gate-like building in front of him.

He felt he might have chosen the wrong direction; he might have gone around most of the circular corridor before finally reaching this door.

If I had chosen the left side, I might have arrived in no time.

He rubbed his temples, trying to clear his mind, and walked to the silver door in front of him.

The door isn't very big; it's about 1.5 meters wide on the left and right and 2 meters high on the top and bottom.

He looked around but couldn't find a gap in the middle of the door. This must be different from the outside door; it's not a double door, and the entire door is made of a single piece of silver metal.

The door was inscribed with five large characters: 'Central Committee of the Communist Party of China'

He Ao only recognized the first two; he didn't recognize the rest.

However, the first two words already reflect the importance of the area behind the door.

This should be the core control area of ​​the entire tower.

He knocked lightly on the metal door.

What returned were muffled 'bubu' sounds.

This proves that the door is extremely thick. If it were an ordinary door, the sound it would make when knocked on would be a hollow 'thump-thump'.

Violence should not be able to destroy this door.

He Ao withdrew his hand.

Expected.

He shifted his gaze to the side, next to the metal door, where there was a silver metal tabletop protruding from the wall, with a small screen on it, which was currently off.

Beneath the table was a skeleton lying face down on the ground.

He Ao stepped forward and carefully examined the skeleton.

The skeleton lay on its side on the ground, one hand outstretched, the other hand placed in front of its head, and its legs slightly bent.

He Ao did a rough simulation.

He stood in front of the protruding platform, his hand hovering above the screen, and then imagined that his body would suddenly lose its strength and fall to one side, lying on the ground in a position similar to that of the skeleton.

In other words, this skeleton, when it was alive, should have been controlling the screen on this platform.

Why is he manipulating this screen?

He thought for a moment and placed his finger on the screen.

The entire screen lit up instantly, revealing the shape of a blue hand.

Around the palm were shimmering blue dots, like stars, which seemed to be the background image.

Near the top of the screen, above the flashing dots, are five large, flashing characters: the first is "Please" and the fourth is "Hand".

It seems to mean that the operator is required to place their hands on it.

He thought for a moment and did not place his hand on it directly.
