Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

The white line penetrates the holographic projection of the mountain, and the image begins to reconstruct.

Lu Qiu hadn't expected there to be another space beneath the base, and he stared intently at the changing holographic images.

The space below contains only a small blue cube, which connects to a passageway leading out of the mountain. A label pops up next to it that reads "Backup Energy Room".

Lu Qiu understood.

Such a large base could not possibly lack emergency measures to deal with power outages.

The white channel and backup energy are fully connected.

"Connection complete, indicator light on."

The ground lights flickered for a moment, then formed a winding ribbon of light at his feet, guiding Lu Qiu in the right direction.

He took a step without hesitation.

The entrance to the backup power room is just over a hundred meters ahead, in a room that looks like an elevator lobby, with a light blue screen next to it that resembles the entrance.

Iris verification is exactly the same.

"Newtype identity confirmed, permissions confirmed... Permission level: Supervisor."

The room door opened automatically, revealing a dark hole with only a carbon fiber rope hanging down from it.

It was pitch black inside, and the bottom of Luqiu could not be seen.

He threw down a compressed biscuit, and it took three seconds to hear a slight thud when it hit the ground.

It is about 20 meters high.

Holding the rope in one hand and gripping the knife in the other to guard against any potential danger, Lu Qiu slid down.

It was indeed a very small room, with nothing else besides two metal cans. On one of the metal cans was a black three-leaf fan on a yellow background.

It's a warning sign about radiation.

After the Great Cataclysm, the surviving humans evolved under the influence of the Source Energy, and the original ionizing radiation could no longer affect them.

But he was still careful not to touch it, only bringing his face close to observe.

The metal canister contained several tens of liters of a yellow solution, emitting a faint glow; it was likely uranium nitrate. The fuel element was immersed in it and operated silently.

There's also a display screen on the surface, and the numbers on it have turned red, showing 1.04%.

He observed that in an instant, the last digit jumped from 4 to 3, indicating that the energy was clearly running out.

But Tiger Style Fist wasn't there; he looked at another metal can.

The two metal cans are not the same shape; this one is clearly used for holding things.

It lacks authorization verification, isn't even powered on, and has a haphazardly placed lock on it; years of oxidation have rendered it useless.

Gaba.

Lu Qiu pried open the lock with his short knife with almost no effort.

The box contained a stack of photos and envelopes.

Almost all of them were group photos, including photos of young couples, family portraits, and even graduation photos.

The box isolated the outside world, and the contents inside remained untouched by time. The buildings in the background of the photo almost perfectly matched Lu Qiu's memories from his previous life.

These are the memories of the staff at Frigga Base 47, all the memories before the Nirvana Era.

He didn't open the envelope, but gently placed it aside and took out all the contents.

At the bottom is a notebook, which is the format for a thesis.

Unlike Lu Xiaotao's hasty notes, this paper was written in extremely neat regular script, every stroke revealing reverence—

Tiger Form Fist: An Exploration of the Integration of Traditional Martial Arts and Source Energy in the Nirvana Era

Authors: Lin Yue, Lu Xiaotao

Lu Qiu turned to the first page.

He was completely absorbed in it after just one glance.

Lin Yue is not only a martial artist, but also a scholar with high academic attainments, and he can use various terms from kinesiology, physics and human anatomy at will.

The description is both profound and easy to understand; even though Lu Qiu in his previous life was just an undergraduate, he was still able to grasp the true meaning of it.

Although the Nirvana Era of the other world is in its third year, the research on source energy is extremely vague and there is no mature system, this martial art has already begun to take the shape of the martial arts of the main world.

The training includes stance training, breathing techniques, and three martial arts moves.

Each section includes detailed explanations, and the stance training diagrams even thoughtfully include force lines to remind readers how to accurately grasp the movements.

The descriptions of breathing techniques and moves are equally detailed.

Lu Qiu was satisfied and put the Tiger Form Fist into his personal space. This was not the place to study martial arts; he had to return to the main world to start again.

Everything inside was taken out; there was a USB drive at the bottom of the box.

After the Great Cataclysm in the main world, energy technology developed rapidly, with materials technology being the most advanced sector.

This type of memory has long been an antique, and now it only has collectible value.

But Lu Qiu thought about it and put the box and its contents into his personal space, since it didn't take up much space anyway.

This is the last spark of life at Frigga Base 47.

Their research was misguided, but that doesn't mean the fire-bringers didn't contribute to human civilization; pioneers deserve respect.

Just then, the loudspeaker on the wall blared.

"Warning: Backup energy level is 1%, reaching the hibernation threshold. The base will enter hibernation mode in fifteen minutes. All personnel are requested to enter the hibernation pod."

broken.

Once the base goes into hibernation, all exits will be locked.

Because of the collapse, there are now only two exits: the place he came in from and the current emergency escape route.

Lu Qiu took off running.

The emergency escape route is much longer than the entrance; if you run even a little slower, you'll be trapped inside.

He could certainly return to the main world and come back in when he was strong enough to forcefully blast through the mountain.

But he has no access to the resources here.

Having finally found hope for a rise through the Gate of Realms, Lu Qiu had no intention of blocking that path.

He ran faster and faster, calculating the remaining time with his breaths.

Finally, with one minute left, he rushed out of the escape tunnel.

Pushing aside the weeds, Lu Qiu, panting heavily, looked out and saw a desolate city in the night.

A tall building stands before me, its cement walls weathered and peeling away, revealing rusted steel bars inside. Thick, unidentified vines, almost as thick as a person, have climbed over the entire building, creeping into the interior through the windows.

Half-person-high wild grasses climbed out from the cracked asphalt road, pushing up the mottled soil.

Moonlight spills onto the wild grass, creating a wonderful balance between desolation and vitality.

Click, click...

A slight sound reached Lu Qiu's ears, making his body tremble.

It was a cat, or rather, a tiger.

With a shoulder height of over one meter and a body length of at least three meters, it was chewing on a corpse on the ground. When its shoulders and neck moved, the muscle lines under its fur were taut and relaxed, full of power.

And what it chews is the mountain poison lizard.

The venomous lizard's hard, horny shell posed no obstacle whatsoever; it was chewed up and swallowed along with its flesh and bones.

[Skull-crushing cat: A Tier 1 mutated beast, a variant mutated through human intervention. It is fast, has an extremely strong bite force, prefers to roam alone, and has a very strong sense of territory.]

Those bright green eyes looked towards Lu Qiu.

The moment he was targeted, Lu Qiu felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head; this was a beast he couldn't possibly fight right now.

Without hesitation, he brought up the control panel: "Back!"
