Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"001, go in and have a look..."

The soldier was right, it was too risky to rush in.

Fortunately, there is 001. As a machine, even if it is trapped inside, its chance of survival is much higher than that of humans.

001 responded and flew in slowly.

"what is inside?"

When 001 disappeared into the darkness, Li Meng asked.

In the communicator, the voice of 001 rang.

"A passage, the same as the pyramid building structure on Star 1."

Li Meng asked again: "What's the temperature inside?"

001: "81 degrees, the closer to the other wall, the higher the temperature."

After thinking for a while, Li Meng took a step forward and walked in.

The Astra Militarum soldiers quickly followed behind.

It was very dark inside, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The only light comes from the entrance behind you.

The temperature inside is higher than outside.

In the power armor, Li Meng heard the roar from the thermostatic system.

"not good……"

With an exclamation, the circular door suddenly closed.

This surprised the soldiers.

Some soldiers even rushed toward the circular door, but all they hit was the hot metal wall.

Looking back at the metal wall where the circular door was located, Li Meng frowned slightly.

"001, contact Captain Ralph immediately, we are trapped and need a cutting device."

At this time, being trapped in the pyramid, I can't control that much.

001: "The signal is blocked and cannot be transmitted externally..."

Internal communications are not affected, but externally transmitted signals are blocked?

"Click..."

At this moment, there was only a sound of mechanical operation.

A circular door suddenly opened on the inner metal wall of where Li Meng was.

It is exactly the same as the circular door leading to the inside of the pyramid.

As the circular door opened, a wave of heat suddenly hit us.

The helmet display immediately issued a warning, and the red warning signs lit up.

The Astra Militarum soldiers behind Li Meng even retreated, trying to avoid the impact of the heat wave.

The shell armor of some soldiers turned fiery red and seemed to be melting, which showed the high temperature.

"Prince Regent, the vacuum combat suit cannot withstand such high temperatures..."

He glanced at the soldier behind him.

Li Meng found that the soldiers were emitting billowing smoke.

"You stay outside..."

Without saying anything else, Li Meng walked towards the circular door.

"001, follow up!"

From the other side of the passage, 001 flew at high speed and rushed into the circular door.

As soon as it burst in, the circular door closed.

"What should I do now? I can't contact anyone outside. What should I do?"

"If there are people staying outside, they will definitely think that we are trapped in the pyramid, and they will definitely notify Captain Ralph."

What's on the other side of the door?

Li Meng got the answer.

A huge space, huge sleeping room.

As far as the eye can see, huge sleeping cabins are neatly arranged.

The scorching heat caused the air to twist.

A large number of dormant cabins have turned red and seem to be melting.

Looking into the dormant cabin, the liquid inside was already boiling.

The alien creature that originally slept in the dormant cabin only had a skeleton left.

If you look carefully, you can still see the roiling meat foam in the boiling liquid.

The scorching heat turns the dormant cabins into pressure cookers.

High-temperature and high-pressure gas roared out of the dormant cabin, flying very high...

Even so, the life support system in the dormant room is still working.

Each sleeping cabin is connected by a pipe, and a transparent liquid is continuously injected into the sleeping cabin.

Walk quickly down the aisle of the dormitory room.

Li Meng shivered as he looked at the sleeping cabins on both sides that were steaming.

It's really tragic...

[Task completion progress: 100%, you have completed the current task, task reward: 10,000 trade coins]

[Activate the random feature of "Star Child" and obtain 1 million trade coins, which has been credited]

Two golden subtitles floated past his eyes one after another, which made Li Meng look surprised.

Is this done?

"Click..."

Just then, another door opened in the metal wall at the end of the hallway.

Who is guiding him?

Looking at the door not far away, Li Meng frowned.

It was obvious that both the outer door and the inner door were opened deliberately by someone.

Its purpose is to allow outsiders to enter the interior of the pyramid.

And follow its guidance step by step to penetrate into the pyramid.

Who could it be?

Is it a living alien life?

Or is it something similar to AI inside the building?

No matter who it was, Li Meng knew very well that he had no way out now.

The road behind has been sealed, so you can only move forward according to "it"'s guidance.

Fortunately, his power armor has a certain degree of heat resistance, otherwise, he would not be able to go deeper if he wanted to.

"001, let's go..."

Li Meng quickened his pace, and one person and one machine hurried towards the door at the end of the corridor.

When passing through the door, on the other side, Li Meng came to a white space.

The space is very small, only about two hundred square meters.

Once they entered, the door closed behind them.

Compared with the outside, the temperature here is lower, at minus 13 degrees.

In order to maintain the low temperature of this space, the machinery behind the wall was "buzzing".

The wall seemed to be shaking.

"Click..."

At this moment, the deck on the ground in front of Li Meng opened to both sides.

From the open deck, a platform rose out.

The platform was very small, like a pillar with a diameter of less than 20 cm.

A silver metal box was placed on it.

A box?

Looking around, Li Meng came to the metal box.

Do you want to open it?

He has no choice.

Without hesitation, Li Meng opened the seemingly sophisticated box.

Li Meng thought that it would not be easy to open such a sophisticated box, and was prepared for failure.

But he didn't expect that the metal box was not locked at all, and he opened it easily.

As the lid of the box opened, the densely packed glass tubes the size of the little finger inside came into Li Meng's eyes.

"001, what is the liquid in the glass tube?"

001 hurried forward, and a white light curtain was projected, scanning back and forth from the glass tube in the box.

001: "It's the gene sequence of some kind of life form..."

Gene sequence?

001's answer surprised Li Meng.

Li Meng thought of the giants he saw in the Grand Canyon of Planet No. 1.

Could it be that these gene sequences belong to that giant civilization race?

Also, the unknown existence that guided them in wanted him to take away the gene sequence of the giant race?

"Click..."

Li Meng was thinking about something, and another door opened on one side of the wall.

And this time, one door after another opened in the direction of the door, and finally led to the outside.

At the same time, communication was restored.

Li Meng heard a messy voice in the communicator.

"The temperature inside the pyramid is rising rapidly, and it will reach the critical value in five minutes. Please evacuate immediately, please evacuate immediately!"

001 suddenly issued a warning.

Behind Li Meng, the metal wall turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Without 001 saying anything, Li Meng also saw the temperature values ​​​​running wildly on the helmet display.
