Chapter 218

After deciding to move along the nearest route, soshyang and his party entered the channel.

Later, they found a large elevator at the end of the passage. Through the comparison of the map beside the elevator, he roughly inferred that it must fall to an area of about 300 meters.

After a basic inspection, the astates entered the elevator.

"It seems too old."

When trying to enter a command into the rune panel of the elevator, almin complained:

"The machine is not responding."

Soshyang didn't answer. The electric elevator suddenly shook under their feet, and the helmet eyepieces of the two soldiers even collided with each other.

"Magnetic lock!"

Sol shouted through the channel, and then the elevator fell down at the moment when the sound of the magnetic lock falling on the boots sounded.

There is no doubt that in some details they did not check, someone tampered on the elevator, and soshyang regretted not bringing rogris.

But it was too late to be upset at this time. The elevator they carried was turned into a vertically downward free falling weight, running with soaring speed to the certain destruction at the bottom of the mine.

Seeing that the situation was critical, sol fell down on the operation panel and tried to knock the rune on it.

Soon, the vise constituting the early warning mechanism slammed on the rotating shaft and gravity mechanism, triggering the closed emergency stop device.

But that's not enough.

Sol locked his feet firmly to the ground, snapped the thick metal rod of an adult's arm and inserted it into the rock walls on both sides.

Suddenly, sparks splashed in the whole elevator, and the harsh friction sound of metal and rock was enough to break the eardrum of mortals.

At an almost imperceptible speed, they began to slow down, the howl of the devastation of the mechanical mechanism weakened, and the sense of weightlessness began to fade.

In the process, sol said nothing. He stood firmly in a tight posture with a metal rod in his arms. The servo system locked his armor, and his teeth were tightly clenched together as he focused every force on ending the violent fall.

Finally, the elevator stopped completely in the friction sound, and sol managed to squeeze out a word.

"Go!"

The magnetic locks on the boots of the star knights were unlocked with the sound of impact. Soshyang tore open the elevator door first and revealed the corridor bathed in red light after going out.

Due to the dislocation between the exit of the elevator and the entrance of the channel, the Star Warrior can only bend into the tunnel and squeeze the body wrapped in armor through the gap.

One by one, they left the elevator that was about to be destroyed.

Sol was the last to leave.

After a moment of trembling and concentration, he released the metal rod, jumped into the gap of the floor and rolled in.

At the moment of losing his power, the elevator fell again, like an airborne capsule piercing the planet's atmosphere, falling down with the splashing sparks and the whistling of white hot brakes, until both disappeared into the boundless darkness in the depths of the mine.

Finally, a distant impact came from the abyss.

"Thank you."

Soshyang said sincerely and extended his armor covering hand to sol.

The emperor old soldier held it and tried his best to adjust his breathing. At the moment, every inch of the strengthened muscles on his superman body were aching, and bursts of dull pain fluctuated in the temple with the pulse.

Sol took a moment to adjust and then looked around.

Their tunnel is only a little better than the natural rock fissure. The only artificial trace is a metal walkway paved on the slowly flowing groundwater at the bottom of the tunnel.

This place has a strong smell of sulfur. The surrounding rocks have condensed into a dark shell. His automatic senses show that the temperature of the corridor composed of dark rocks is as hot as purgatory.

But there are no volcanoes or magmatic landforms nearby.

"It's not on the map."

Soshyang compared the map and said regretfully.

"We don't know where we are now, and we can't reach the ground."

Sol listened and made a gesture to the curved tunnel.

"At least our goal is very clear now. There is no other way in front of us."

"Indeed."

Soshyang put away the map and said on the communication channel.

"Battle formation forward."

The Star Warrior began to march along the corridor, his steps on the metal sounded like a bell.

Unprotected humans cannot survive in the high temperature of the tunnel, but the power armor on the star soldiers is prepared for more severe conditions. At least the current underground environment can not pose a threat to them.

"What damaged the elevator?"

While walking, soshyang connected Sol's personal channel and asked softly:

"Those aliens?"

"Not necessarily."

"You mean those heresies."

"The truth is not always so straight, commander Zhan."

Sol was silent for a moment and then responded.

"In the dark abyss, the enemy and ourselves are not always as simple as they seem, but those aliens undoubtedly want us to go where they want us to go. What they want is what others don't want."

"Sol, I find that you speak more and more like friar SID, and you always run to it these days."

"You feel uneasy."

"No, confused."

"Meet the enemy!"

Amin suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Soshyang looked through the team leader and found that after they passed a corner, a heavy door appeared in front of them, as well as a man wrapped in a bloated gray thermal insulation suit.

As soon as the man saw the Star Warrior, he immediately ran to the wheel locking device of the gate and tried to close the gate.

"Don't let him do anything."

A second later, the roar of explosives sounded in the tunnel. The man's head was blown open and fell heavily on the half closed door.

The starfighter walked to the end of the tunnel, through the gate, and the bomb gun was on standby.

When the door was opened, they found themselves in a detention area.

The exposed rock walls are inlaid with cages with electrified grids, and human figures gather on the protruding rocks on the inner side, wearing the same heavy thermal insulation clothes as the people holding them.

Dozens of such cages are arranged in the dark and narrow space.

As soon as the star soldiers entered, the residents of the cage stared at them.

There are also guards. They run to their insulated automatic weapons. One of them triggers the alarm, and the wail of the alarm immediately fills the whole underground space.

The star Knight quickly put down these people, and a series of quick shots tore the jailers apart, leaving their bodies rolling and steaming in the hot wind.

"There is a stairwell at the far end of the room."

Sol's voice came from the phone. His discovery changed the situation. Now they are pressed for time and must seize every minute.

"Move there."

"Wait a minute."

A voice shouted through the wail of the alarm. One of the prisoners stood up, bent and old.

Soshyang turned to her without a word.

"We are not ordinary prisoners."
