NIKKE, the end of the world is coming, but the system is a hundred years late

Signa didn't know this person very well, but out of politeness, she asked anyway.

Barbielong smiled brightly.

"Can you do me a favor?"

There was a strange light in his eyes.

"What favor..."

Signa stopped halfway through her speech.

Barbielon's pair of violet eyes seemed like a whirlpool, sucking all the attention in.

Signa's eyes gradually became confused...

The land after the battle was devastated and full of potholes. It had turned into a scorched earth with wisps of smoke rising from it, and the remains of Letcher's corpses were scattered everywhere.

Most of the ruined buildings nearby have been destroyed, with only a few still standing. Their dilapidated appearance is like a candle in the wind, and it is only a matter of time before they collapse.

The closer we get to the research base, the more debris of Letcher we find.

In some places, the pile of Letcher's bodies was more than a meter thick.

And most of them are broken parts, obviously eaten by the Sky-Devouring Monster.

Mo Changge really didn't understand why Shi Tian was eating.

According to common sense, the Sky-Devouring Being is just a building, and even if it is eaten, it cannot be digested and absorbed.

Could it be that it is simulating the habits of living organisms?

After all, from the appearance of Letcher, you can tell what they are imitating.

Because Shi Tian struggled desperately before his death and launched a massive bombardment on the surrounding area of ​​several kilometers, blowing Lai Che to pieces. Mo Changge and others did not encounter many living Lai Ches along the way, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Mo Changge also gained a lot of points from this.

Alice was jumping around along the way, seemed very happy, and kept asking Ludmila questions.

"Your Majesty, have you found our home?"

Ludmila stroked Alice's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Yes, Alice. Thanks to the help of the commander and companions."

Alice opened her beautiful eyes wide, clenched her fists, and asked expectantly, "Then the commander and his companions were also summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, right?"

"Yes, that's right. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the commander, um, your Mr. Rabbit."

Ludmila glanced at Mo Changge playfully, as if there was some other meaning behind her glance.

Alice turned her expectant gaze to Mo Changge.

Mo Changge coughed twice.

"Well, that's right."

“Wow!” Alice cheered and shouted happily like a child. “Long live the Queen!”

Soon, everyone arrived in front of the research base.

Only when you get really close can you realize how big the research base is.

It is so huge that it even exceeds the average high-rise residential building.

Except for Mo Changge, Ludmila, Alice and others, the other Nikkis were stationed outside and would warn them if any problems occurred.

Snow White was also outside, patrolling and standing guard on a nearby tall building.

"boom--!"

The several-meter-thick steel gate of the research base was violently opened from the outside and flew out.

Mo Changge and others walked in.

Due to the previous battle, many defensive facilities of the outpost base were destroyed, and Mo Changge broke in without much effort.

Go inside.

I found that it was no different from an ordinary research institute.

The long corridors, rooms of different departments, laboratories, and display windows filled with experimental instruments, specimens, and some personal belongings showed how hastily the evacuation had taken place.

There were even some people who didn't have time to evacuate.

The body fell at the door, facing outside, dried by the wind, and still in the posture of someone trying to escape.

Nikki's faces turned pale.

Even though they had fought many times and seen bloody fights on the battlefield, most of them had never seen the appearance of a dead human body.

After all, there is still a big difference between parts and human tissue.

Mo Changge reached out and covered Alice's eyes.

This careful move also caught Ludmila's attention.

There are not many commanders like Mo Changge, and even fewer who are so careful and considerate of others.

Chapter 123: I'm here to do archaeology, not to be buried

Walking along the corridor, Ludmila led the way in front, looking very familiar with the environment of the research base.

Mo Changge remembered that Ludmila seemed to have worked here before.

Before long, everyone arrived in front of a huge gate.

Ludmila walked forward, found the control panel and the manual safety device at the back, and wanted to open them, but soon discovered something unusual.

"……Um?"

Mo Changge stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Ludmila was a little confused and tapped the control panel a few times, but soon a system error sound was heard.

"There's a problem. The security system is still active, and there's no way to get in right now."

“Still running?”

Mo Changge was a little surprised.

After such a fierce battle, it’s good enough that the research base was not demolished by ourselves.

Even if the internal structure was not seriously damaged, the energy released by the subsequent nuclear bomb could destroy electronic equipment such as circuit chips.

Unless, the research base has powerful protective equipment.

"I don't know what's going on," Ludmila shook her head. "If you want to enter, you need a pass. But at that time, we were so busy escaping that we didn't even have time to bring a pass with us."

Pass?

Mo Changge remembered that in the game, the protagonist was able to enter because of Martin's pass.

However, he has never even met Martin yet, so how could he have his pass?

"Or, just destroy it."

Mo Changge stretched his wrist, clenched his fist, and walked towards the gate.

With the help of the virus and the battle suit, it shouldn't be too difficult to open this door.

"Give up. This door is made of alloy cast iron, and is nearly one meter thick. Didn't you notice that even the battle just now didn't damage it?"

Ludmila quickly stopped him and persuaded Mo Changge to give up this unrealistic idea.

"What's more, the current research base has been destroyed by the battle. I'm afraid it can no longer withstand it."

Mo Changge thought about it and agreed.

If the research base collapses with one punch, it would be a waste of time.

He came here to do archaeology, not to be buried.

“This is going to be tricky.”

Ludmila was a little troubled and annoyed.

After going through so much trouble to get here, I was actually blocked outside.

"Let me give it a try."

Mo Changge behind him walked to the gate.

Ludmila thought Mo Changge was still going to demolish the house by force and tried to stop him immediately.

"Wait a minute."

"Don't worry, I haven't given up yet," Mo Changge smiled at Ludmila, "There are still many people at home waiting for me to return. If I am buried here, wouldn't it be a pity?"

After saying that, he walked forward and came to the control panel.

The control panel is rusty and looks very old.

Mo Changge stretched out a finger and tapped the control panel. At the same time, the Pamish virus emerged from his fingertips and injected into the interior of the control panel like a thread.

"That's good."

Ludmila breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mo Changge had no intention of being buried alive with him.

"If it really doesn't work, let's go back to the Ark first. The Ark's senior executives all have passes to the research base. But we may have to turn back once, which will delay us for a while..."

"drop--!"

Before Ludmila could finish her words, the system beeped and the light turned from red to green. The gate slowly opened with a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

Ludmila was stunned.

"how did you do it?"

Mo Changge turned around and smiled at her.

"Maybe it's fallen into disrepair."

Ludmila rolled her beautiful eyes at Mo Changge and said angrily.

"It would be weird to believe you."

Naturally, she didn't believe Mo Changge's nonsense.

Mo Changge also became more mysterious in Ludmila's heart.

You know, the confidentiality level of the research base is almost the same as that of the Ark. If you can open the firewall of the research base, it is not impossible to open the Ark.

If it were before, Ludmila would have thought that the various abilities displayed by Mo Changge and the various high-tech things he took out were the latest technologies of the Ark.

Well, now, she was sure it wasn't.

If the Ark really had this level of technology, it would have counterattacked the ground long ago.

In fact, Ludmila guessed quite a few things correctly.

What Mo Changge used was indeed not Ark's technology, but the Pamish virus.

The most obvious characteristic of the Pamish virus is erosion. It can corrode not only machines but also human bodies. As for circuit networks, it is even easier.

Especially when Mo Changge upgraded to the second stage heterogeneous core of the Pamish virus.

The gate opened and the inside became bright.

Compared to the neat and clean laboratory outside, the inside of the gate is more retro, with all kinds of strange cables and pipes everywhere.

There are also wires buried in the ground.

“Fortunately, not many changes have been made here.”

Ludmila looked around the surroundings, feeling somewhat emotional at the place where she once worked.

"The information is on the terminal over there."

"Well, it's not convenient for you, so let me do it. You just talk." Mo Changge walked to the side of the terminal, opened the control panel, and joked, "These are all precious learning materials. It would be bad if smoke came out."

"By the way, there won't be any private information in there that I can't see, right? For example, browsing history or something like that. If there is, tell me first and I'll delete it for you. You still have a chance to keep your innocence in the world."

"Fuck you, how could there be that kind of..."
