Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

Chapter 79: the truth! With the gorgeous and colorful Syr City!

Popular recommendation:

As soon as we arrived at the gathering place, the boat hadn't even gotten off.

Inexplicably, this is going to be invited to drink tea?

Looking at the bearded armed men in front of him, Meng Lei immediately frowned.

First, the identity was suspected, and the ship was checked for no reason.

If you are new here, and you are not familiar with life, you can just endure it.

After all, the other party also explained this, everything happened for a reason.

But now that the investigation has been completed, without finding any problems, he has made such an unreasonable request.

This kind of behavior made Meng Lei's patience soon climb to the limit.

Even Chen Yu, who was following him all the way, instantly turned ugly.

"The ship has been inspected, and there are no problems. It would be a bit too much for you to take people away again?!"

Chen Yu looked at the two armed men coldly.

The rigid aura and sharp eyes on his body gave them a great sense of oppression.

Under Chen Yu's gaze, the thin man subconsciously took a step back and grabbed his gun.

Immediately, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he was a little embarrassed.

He glanced at Chen Yu and Meng Lei viciously, and said in a cold tone:

"If you don't want to go with us, you can. This unregistered submarine will be confiscated and confiscated as smuggled goods, including all the items in the warehouse. You can do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Chen Yu frowned deeply, the expression on his face was not angry and arrogant, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes.

At this time, Huo Ye, who heard a few people's conversations in his earphones, hurried over and roared:

"This is the ship we found from the outpost in our near-death life. It is an ownerless thing. Why do you confiscated it!"

"Unowned?!"

The thin man sneered and said, "The D12 outpost was established by the Alliance back then, even if it was abandoned and occupied by pirates later, everything in it still belongs to the Alliance!

At any time, the alliance has absolute ownership. Who told you that it is an ownerless thing? ! "

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Meng Lei's face.

It seems that the information the Winter Fleet got in that mining center is not groundless.

This so-called Alien Alliance is really not a good bird. It belongs to a rather overbearing dictatorship, that is, the name is more official.

At this time, the bearded man who had not spoken all the time, seeing that the situation was a little stiff, came out and said:

"Everyone calm down, we have no other intentions.

Although there seems to be no problem on the ship, we still need to conduct further investigation to confirm the identity of Captain Meng. "

Speaking of which.

Seeing the faces of Chen Yu and the others became more and more ugly, the bearded man smiled again:

"Of course, the registration and passage procedures for this first-generation Typhon also need to be signed by Captain Meng in person.

Therefore, Captain Meng must go with us. "

Hearing this, the expressions on several people's faces finally eased a little.

Meng Lei was also a little impatient after being smeared in ink by such a bad thing for half a day.

Immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, lead the way ahead!"

With that said, he walked towards the airlock room on the upper deck.

Chen Yu and the others accompanied him all the way. Originally, he wanted to go with Meng Lei. If there is any accident, he can still take care of him.

But before they got out of the cabin, the bearded security officer stopped the behavior of several people.

"You can just wait here, someone will come to meet you later, confirm your identity, stay on the boat and don't walk around!"

Meng Lei also turned his head and explained to Chen Yu:

"Captain Chen, you don't have to come here. The fleet will ask you first. We will communicate with you later if there is any situation."

"it is good!"

Chen Yu nodded and warned again: "Be careful!"

Meng Lei smiled slightly, but did not respond much.

At this time.

The thin yellow-haired man next to him sneered as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

"Heh, the fleet?! No private armed groups are allowed in the alliance! I advise you to disband as soon as possible, before the Armed Forces take violent action..."

Hearing this, including Meng Lei, everyone's expressions were stunned.

But before Meng Lei could say anything, he was pushed out of the pirate ship by the two bearded men, and walked along the metal corridor of Dock No. 59 to the depths of the building complex in the distance.

Looking at the backs of the three leaving, Chen Yu's eyes were gloomy.

Strict authentication is not a problem, it is still within the acceptable range.

But the fleet that everyone finally formed has finally gained some scale and some cohesion.

But at this time, it was officially told that it was an illegal organization, which was a bit too chilling.

"Captain Chen, what should we do now? This gathering place doesn't seem to be a good place. It feels better to be at ease outside!"

Wang Qi's face was a little melancholy, and the excitement of arriving at the gathering place after his death was completely turned into a bubble at this moment.

Chen Yu held his pipe tightly and paced around the airlock room for a while.

After a while.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Qi and asked:

"How is the integration of the fleet's various resources?"

Wang Qi sighed and said helplessly: "The mileage points of the combat troops have all been collected, and the decomposition materials of the alien sea monsters are still being counted because there are too many."

Chen Yu nodded lightly, sighed thoughtfully, and continued:

"In this way, the decomposing materials will not be collected in a hurry for the time being.

In addition, according to the respective prestige points of the combat troops, according to the merits and rewards, part of the fleet reserve will be deducted from the mileage points proportionally, and the rest will be distributed to everyone.

Since the alliance does not recognize the private forces formed by our Blue Star players.

Next, it must be developed by everyone on their own, and it cannot be left without any start-up capital for everyone. "

Hearing this, Wang Qi immediately frowned and asked:

"Captain Chen, do you mean that we are going to disband the fleet?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said solemnly:

"No, if we really want to dissolve, why do we still keep the reserve fund?!

On the surface, we will temporarily stop collective activities and let everyone develop independently. After we fully understand and become familiar with the pattern of the world, we will re-plan the future development route! "

"Okay, I understand!"

Wang Qi nodded heavily, and without delay, turned around and walked towards the fourth floor area.

the other side.

Under the supervision of two armed men, Meng Lei walked all the way through the long and narrow dock corridor.

Along the way, I encountered many player submarines that have docked and completed the docking with the channel.

However, all the players were blocked in the cabin by armed personnel patrolling nearby, and it was strictly forbidden to take a step outside, which was like martial law in the whole city.

Also, keep going deeper as you go forward.

Meng Lei also saw some civilians in uniform, carrying large bags and holding an electronic product similar to a tablet computer.

These people constantly walk between the various submarines along the channel to question and investigate the players.

Some people will be issued a blue card after the investigation is completed.

At the same time, it also comes with a thin booklet, and I don't know what it is.

Meng Lei looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What are those blue cards and books? What's the use?"

The bearded security officer walking in front said without looking back:

"The card is a universal citizen ID card in Alien, which stores your personal information, including the prestige level of each outpost and gathering place, as well as asset certificates.

Except for some cities occupied by rebel groups, or independent colonies.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you have a citizen ID card, you can travel anywhere in the alien world. "

After a pause, the bearded man added another sentence, saying:

"Of course, the premise is that you have enough Marks to be able to travel..."

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

That blue card seems to be an alien ID card in some sense.

However, Meng Lei was a little unclear about what the so-called Mark was, so he continued to ask questions.

"Mark, of course it's money!"

Perhaps it was because of the luxurious decoration of Meng Lei's pirate ship, or because of the potential and prestige of the Guixu.

Beard seemed to have the idea of ​​making friends, and explained to Meng Lei in detail:

"Mark, it's also what your players call mileage points.

However, the concept of mileage points was no longer used by the Alien Alliance many years ago.

When the pioneers first came to Outworld, in order to inspire everyone to work hard to develop, they achieved one milestone after another.

Therefore, there is a mileage point as a currency system.

Later, the Alien Alliance was established, and many things happened during the period, which once caused the old currency system to collapse.

Therefore, the Union promulgated a new monetary system, which is now the mark. "

After a pause, the bearded man said again:

"However, the mileage points in your hands can be exchanged for marks at an equivalent value. At this point, you don't have to worry at all."

After listening to what the beard said, Meng Lei keenly captured some key details.

When the pioneers first arrived in Alien, there was no so-called Alien Alliance, and the Alliance was established later.

Reminiscent of the information obtained from the Ceres wreck log earlier.

Meng Lei probably guessed that the change in the currency system should probably be around 138 years of the Alien Calendar.

Because at that time, the alliance began to become chaotic.

The captain of the Ceres also said that the alliance no longer has the absolute right to speak.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei suddenly asked:

"Which year is it in the Alien Calendar?"

The bearded man did not hesitate, and blurted out: "March 212 of the Alien Calendar."

"212 years..."

Meng Lei took a deep breath: "Has it been more than seventy years?"

When the Ceres was killed, it was September 138 of the Alien Calendar, and now it is March 212, a full seventy-four years have passed!

I don't know how much has happened over the years.

But obviously, the two forces of the Alien Separation Organization and the Joker Organization should still be alive at present.

This can be seen from the encounter with the D12 outpost and the questioning the pirate ship was confronted with when it first docked.

However, speaking of these messy forces.

What Meng Lei is more curious about is that after so many years have passed, have these colonists on the alien planet reconnected with the mother planet?

For this question, the bearded security officer obviously did not expect that he would ask this question from the player Meng Lei.

Looking back at Meng Lei in shock, the bearded man asked:

"You actually know about the loss of contact with the mother star?!"

Meng Lei nodded, he had nothing to hide, and said calmly:

"I was on the road before and encountered the wreck of the Ceres, and saw something in the wreck log."

Hearing this, the bearded nodded suddenly, his eyes seemed to be reminiscent:

"Gushen, it seems that it was quite famous in the nearby waterway. I can occasionally see this name in the magazines published by some historical research stations. I didn't expect you to come across it..."

"lucky."

Meng Lei didn't say much, and continued to ask: "What is the situation when the mother star lost contact?"

At this time.

The three walked out of the passage corridor of the dock all the way, and came to the depths of the building complex in the gathering place.

Meng Lei was surprised.

Regardless of the appearance, this gathering place with a similar architectural style to the abandoned outpost seems to be quite advanced and complete.

But the maintenance of the internal facilities is not even as good as that of the abandoned outpost.

Along the way.

Mottled mildew spots were everywhere on the damp floors, and there was a lingering musty smell in the air.

Outside the high ceilings, exposed wires with their insulation peeled off are everywhere.

From time to time, there will be a little spark of heart-wrenching sparks in the dimness, making a crackling sound.

In particular, on the outskirts of one of the buildings that appear to be breeding pods.

Through the glass window on the wall, Meng Lei saw that the house was actually covered with a large number of brightly colored succulents, which had already overflowed from the cultivation pot.

I don't know if unattended growth caused the growth to get out of control, or the plant's growing environment is just like that.

In short.

Everything here smells of decay and ruin.

Moreover, after passing through a large number of areas and facilities, Meng Lei did not see too many indigenous people.

The whole gathering place looked cold and quiet.

Until the three people passed through the complex corridor passage and came to the central area.

Standing in front of a huge cylindrical facility similar to an elevator shaft, the bearded man pressed the up button and said:

"The arrival of your players is actually what the mother star did.

For the specific details, the person in charge will explain everything to you after the Security Office.

The booklet provided by Life Assistant to other players also introduces content in this regard, including some precautions for gathering places. "

While speaking, a rumble sounded.

The large elevator shaft in front of him trembled slightly, as if something heavy was falling at an extreme speed.

After a while, the vibrations stopped.

The elevator door on the left opened, revealing a large, rusted elevator cabin.

"Let's go, here is the industrial area, which are all production plants and warehouses.

The real Searle, on top. "

With that said, the bearded man walked directly into the elevator.

Meng Lei understood.

As expected, there is indeed another area in the top rock formation of this space.

And the huge circular facility in front of him was the one that stood in the deep sea and was seen outside before.

only.

Staring at the mottled and dilapidated elevator, as if it may fall at any time.

Meng Lei felt a little worried.

This thing looks obviously in disrepair, there is a great security risk.

If it had been released before, Meng Lei would rather be tired and climb the stairs like a dog than sit on this thing.

After a little hesitation, there was a cold metal hard object on his back behind him.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling about!"

The yellow-haired thin man's urging voice came, Meng Lei turned his head and glared at him with a bad expression, and finally he could only bite the bullet and walk in.

The huge metal door closed slowly, with a hairy creaking sound.

The elevator climbed rapidly towards the heights at a very fast speed.

in the process.

I could vaguely hear some clanging metal collisions, and I don't know where the parts fell off, which is especially scary.

However, the two indigenous security officers seemed to have taken it seriously for a long time, and just silently cursed twice.

"Those **** guys in the engineering department know how to be lazy all day long, so sooner or later something will happen!"

"Okay, there were few people in the past, so how could the engineering department handle it.

Anyway, these players have arrived now, and I will recruit more people in the future..."

Meng Lei didn't express any opinion, he listened to the words of the two, thinking about other things to distract his attention.

The elevator ride is indeed a bit scary.

Fortunately, the elevator goes up very fast.

At a height of more than 100 meters, it only took half a minute to reach the top floor.

Then, the elevator door slammed open.

What appeared in front of him was an equally dilapidated airlock room.

There are a large number of wetsuit cabinets around, and there are pieces of worn out wetsuits that have lost their luster. I don't know if they can effectively decompress.

A security officer with a gun, wearing a faded explosion-proof suit and a bulletproof helmet on his head, was smoking a cigarette in the airlock.

It can be seen from the large number of cigarette butts scattered on the ground.

This guy should be standing guard here, and it's not too short.

The bearded man walked out of the elevator with a gun on his shoulders, greeted the security officer, then stepped forward and opened the door of the airlock.

Immediately, a damp and pungent smell came to me.

A picture that Meng Lei was completely unpredictable appeared in front of his eyes.

Just see, under the endless neon flickering.

Outside the door, there was a smoky sky.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is the sky.

But the huge urban space with luxury and corruption in the splendor is too vast.

It is under a rock dome dozens of meters high.

The colorful neon lights reflect a layer of smoke that fills the sky.

Like the gorgeous clouds floating above the head, those who see it are dazzled.

The tall metal buildings are stacked in layers in the crowded city, like a steel jungle.

On each metal cliff, there are huge colorful billboards and holographic neon logos that are competing to bloom.

[Aunt Kingsley's restaurant].

A terrifying reptile was displayed on the holographic projection, which was dismembered by a sharp knife and turned into dishes with a surreal scent.

below.

The advertising slogan of [Surprise Climbing Package Limited Time Discount] shows people the ultimate sensory temptation.

Two delicate girls in scantily clad, at the top of a building, frantically twisted their coquettish figures.

Unreal and gorgeous advertisements are projected on the building, projecting the striking words [Bar].

in.

There is also a logo that Meng Lei is very familiar with. On the top of a high-rise building in the middle and upper floors of the city, a huge pickaxe and a hammer head are fixed and cast with a holographic projection.

[Crimson Mining Company] A few big characters are making eye-catching publicity for the company day and night.

Countless metal covered bridges are interspersed between various buildings, arbitrarily over the city, intertwined into a spectacular and complicated traffic network.

Almost every inch of space in the entire city has never been wasted, exuding a strong wild and psychedelic atmosphere.

Unconsciously.

Meng Lei was attracted and subconsciously walked to the door of the airlock room.

Looking up at this dreamy city located three kilometers below the deep sea, I couldn't help but breathe quickly.

He never imagined it.

In this endlessly dark and dead deep sea, one can actually see such a prosperous and vibrant underwater city.

Such a scene made him feel absolutely shocked!

It is hard to imagine how those alien pioneers created such a city in such an extreme environment.

"Welcome to Sier City!"

He seemed content with Meng Lei's immediate reaction.

The bearded security officer took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it, and took a sip.

Then he spit out a big smoke ring toward the dreamy city shrouded in smog in the distance.

"How is it, it's shocking, isn't it?"

The bearded man glanced at Meng Lei, and then said:

"In fact, these are just appearances. When you really integrate into the city and become a part of this city, you will really find out what is hidden under this bright and beautiful skin."

After a pause, he simply gave Meng Lei a moment to digest and adapt.

The bearded man patted his shoulder and said:

"Let's go, don't make the person in charge wait too long.

What you see now is just the lower business district, the facade of the city of Xier.

Where we're going, is the upper borough, going through living quarters and shafts.

For a long time in the future, you should be living here, and if you want to see it, there will be opportunities for in-depth understanding in the future. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei took a deep breath.

He nodded silently without saying anything.

Under the leadership of the bearded security officer, the three walked all the way to the depths of this steel jungle.

After going deeper, Meng Lei finally understood what the man said just now.

At first glance, the city does have a glamorous exterior.

However, in that narrow and cramped city street.

Under the cover of neon and prosperity, there are dirty garbage and unsightly graffiti everywhere.

Messy wires and bare ends are everywhere, clinging to a lot of shimmering moss and smelling rundown.

Aboriginal aliens, like walking dead, wander aimlessly in the dirty streets and alleys.

Most people's eyes have lost their luster, and there is numbness and disappointment in the world.

From time to time, you can still see alcoholics with wine bottles crying, laughing, or cursing in dark corners.

Occasionally, there are people wearing strange hoods, holding glass **** in their hands, and wandering along the street in a maddening manner.

Like a wizard, and like a servant master, it gives people a very strange feeling.

The strong post-modern apocalyptic style is deposited at the bottom of this gorgeous city, which is incompatible with the bright sensory world with a sense of futuristic technology.

Meng Lei walked in this prosperous and dilapidated city, madly intertwined and divided.

Gradually, there was even a sudden sense of daze germinating.

It always feels like an unreal illusion.

Until the three came to the deepest edge of the city, at the entrance to an airlock built into the rock wall.

That kind of delusional illusion finally subsided, and everything seemed to return to reality.

Even Meng Lei didn't pay attention to how he got here, and his memory was very confusing.

"Up is the living area. After the living area and then going up, is the administrative area of ​​Xier City."

While introducing Meng Lei, the bearded security officer pressed the elevator button to the upper floor.

"Comparatively speaking, the administrative district is the safest place in the whole city. Even if the lower level is completely submerged by sea water, the officials of the administrative district have enough time to put on the diving suit and then board the shuttle boat of the escape cabin."

talking room.

After a short distance of tens of meters, the three came to the living area on the middle floor.

The space area of ​​this living area is obviously not as vast as the commercial area.

Although the floor area is quite large, the space height is very limited, and the highest point is only 20 to 30 meters.

It is supported by some relatively luxurious apartment buildings from top to bottom.

But at least in terms of scale, there should be no problem with this living area accommodating 50,000 to 60,000 people.

Moreover, in the process of continuous progress, Meng Lei also discovered.

The living area and the commercial area are not located vertically, and the two are not in the same space.

This architectural design obviously takes into account the avoidance of landslides.

However, with so many people in such a confined space, how to solve the problem of oxygen and ventilation?

Meng Lei dared to be very curious.

In this regard, the bearded man also patiently explained.

Next to the bottom commercial area, there is another vast space, which is the electromechanical area and the oxygen production area.

The energy supply of the entire city, as well as the oxygen consumption, is provided by this area.

Once there is a problem in this area, it will be an unimaginable disaster for the entire city.

Therefore, the security force and engineering maintenance personnel there are the most comprehensive in the city.

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

Although he has been explained, it is still difficult for him to imagine how much equipment is needed to meet the energy and oxygen needed for so many people to live.

While thinking about a problem that was completely impossible to figure out with his knowledge reserves, the three of them went all the way up.

After taking another elevator to the top floor of Syr City.

Several scattered buildings and a relatively small space suddenly appeared in front of us.

"There is the market hall, which can receive and deliver various bounty tasks issued by the alliance."

"That's the Searle City District Court, which hears and adjudicates all kinds of local cases."

"There is the Ministry of Information..."

all the way.

The bearded man kept introducing Meng Lei about the types and uses of various buildings, and perfectly assumed the role of a free guide.

Meng Lei kept nodding his head, remembering these information one by one in his heart.

finally.

Beard stopped in front of a building with red and blue stripes painted on the exterior.

"This is the security office of Xier City, let's go, the person in charge has been waiting for a long time."

Saying that, the bearded man walked in directly.

Meng Lei followed closely.

In front of a reception room on the second floor, the bearded man stopped, turned around and said to Meng Lei:

"The person in charge is inside, so I won't go in.

When you're done with the business at hand here, we can take time for a drink if we have the chance. "

After that, the bearded man added another sentence before turning around and leaving:

"By the way, my name is Harold, the security officer of the second police team."

Meng Lei stretched out his hand and expressed kindness to the bearded man for the first time, and said with a smile:

"Meng Lei."

"Okay, see you when I have a chance!"

The two shook hands.

Pushed by the bearded man, the two skinny men quickly left here.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and then, without further delay, turned around and knocked on the door of the reception room.

"Dongdongdong!"

"Enter!"

A thick middle-aged man's voice sounded.

Meng Lei pushed open the door and entered.

The interior decoration is very simple.

A desk, a sofa, a coffee table, a filing cabinet and a chair.

Inside the desk, a middle-aged man in uniform is sitting at the moment.

He was about the same age as Huo Ye, with a standard oriental face and a pair of silver-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Seeing Meng Lei coming in, the middle-aged man motioned Meng Lei to sit down on the chair and said:

"Introduce myself, my name is Roger, and I'm the head of the Security Office in Sill City."

Hearing this, Meng Lei was suddenly startled.

A well-known two-dimensional character could not help but blurt out in my mind:

What have you buried at the end of the great route?

The middle-aged man saw Meng Lei's expression suddenly changed after hearing his name, and he couldn't help smiling curiously:

"What, you know me?"

Meng Lei came back to his senses immediately, shook his head to hide his embarrassment, and said with a smile:

"No, I just remembered a friend, hello Director Luo."

The middle-aged man glanced at Meng Lei suspiciously, but did not ask any further questions.

Then he picked up an electronic device next to him, something similar to the tablet that Meng Lei had seen before, and briefly operated it.

Then, he looked up at Meng Lei and asked:

"What happened to the unregistered first-generation Typhon-class submarine, as well as the D12 outpost, please explain the situation at that time in detail."

After a pause, the middle-aged man said again:

"Also, what is your identity and initial submarine name?"

Although these questions have been asked once, Meng Lei is still patient, looking at the middle-aged man neither humble nor arrogant, and said solemnly:

"My name is Meng Lei, the initial submarine name: Guixu..."

After hearing Meng Lei say the word "Return to the Ruins", this time it was the middle-aged man's turn to be startled, then he raised his eyebrows with interest, and said curiously:

"The Guixu? The Guixu that took the first kill in the channel? Are you the captain of the Guixu?"

"You know me?"

The roles were switched, and Meng Lei was stunned again.

The two stared at each other in silence for a second. Roger broke the peace with a smile and said:

"Of course, the information and data of players in this channel will be recorded at the terminal of our gathering place, including your approximate voyage route, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, and changes in reputation and mileage. We can all synchronize in time."

Although through Harold's previous performance, Meng Lei had probably guessed this.

But when Roger admitted it himself, he was still a little shocked.

With deep doubts, Meng Lei asked:

"What's going on with all this? I mean, including crossing, it seems that you alien colonists are already prepared for our arrival?"

Roger smiled and nodded.

After learning Meng Lei's identity, his attitude seemed to be more enthusiastic than before.

He got up and opened the file cabinet next to him, and took out a metal box from it.

Then he came to the coffee table, opened the metal box and squeezed something into the cup, brewed it with boiling water, and handed it to Meng Lei.

"Bomb pomegranate tea, a specialty of Ioxing, have a taste."

"thanks!"

Meng Lei got up and took it.

Looking down, there were a few shriveled pomegranate seeds in the cup.

The whole body is incomparably bright red, constantly tossing up and down in the boiling water, and shrinking frequently, as if it is about to burst at any time!

Soon, the water in the entire teacup was infected with red, which was very magical.

Meng Lei took a sip of curiosity.

Suddenly, an extreme sweetness burst out in the taste buds, and the lips and teeth were fragrant.

At this moment, Meng Lei was immersed in that wonderful taste experience.

Roger said:

"In fact, we alien colonists are not aware of the arrival of your so-called players.

The source of everything has to start with a communication suddenly sent from the mother star, which has not been in contact for more than 70 years..."
