NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 268 Abandoned Underground Area

Ye Feng scanned the abandoned area with the flashlight.

Wherever they walked, they left behind two rows of shoe prints and raised clouds of dust.

Compared with the underground caves on Earth, the scene here is different.

There is no standing water, no living creatures, no creaking windows,

There is no moving machinery.

There was something dropped on the ground. With a slight touch, it turned into fragments and merged into the dust on the surface.

There was deathly silence, except for the sound of shoes crushing debris, which echoed in the space.

"No one has come in for at least a thousand years!" Ye Feng said with emotion.

10H didn't say anything, but stayed close to Ye Feng, looking around carefully.

It seemed as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out.

There is no horror movie atmosphere, and rats and cockroaches will not suddenly crawl out.

What there is is just an air of corruption and despair.

"Can't understand!"

Ye Feng racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

On a desolate planet like the moon, it took a huge amount of resources and manpower to build such a base, a server base that stores human data.

An area where every inch of land is valuable.

Why just abandon the lower level like that?

Ye Feng stretched out his hand and tried to push open the door on the right.

The door has long been in tatters and its original appearance is unrecognizable. In the light of the flashlight, large holes caused by rust can be seen.

He applied gentle force.

He pressed four finger holes in the door, and it turned into a pile of fragments and fell to the ground.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at 10H.

10H explained: "This base simulates the Earth's atmosphere.

So there is oxygen.”

After hearing 10H's explanation, Ye Feng thought that there were a large number of plants placed in a room in the plant cabin, which were constantly photosynthesizing under the light.

There are also abandoned work and residential areas.

It can be said that they are all prepared for human beings.

Or, it can be understood as,

Pretend that humans still exist.

"I understand the logic, but this is not such a waste of resources." Ye Feng shook his head regretfully.

I walked into the room, stepping on the debris on the ground, and the light shone over it.

Careful observation reveals that

A long time ago, this room was also a computer room for storing servers.

In the center of the computer room, there is a server that has been idle for a long time.

Yes, it can be inferred from the shape.

The lines are completely aged and the blocks have long since failed.

"Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of archaeology and I don't understand carbon 14 analysis." Ye Feng smiled bitterly and pulled 10H out of the computer room.

“Do you want to check other computer rooms?” 10H asked softly.

"Let's go take a look at the front."

After some exploration, nothing was found except the conclusion that the second underground floor had been abandoned for more than a thousand years.

Of course, it could even be longer than a thousand years.

There wasn't even a piece of text on the instructions, and the text on the server's casing had long since rusted away.

With full of doubts, Ye Feng and 10H walked to the end of the abandoned passage.

"Or, let's go back, it's scary here..."

10H suggested tremblingly, as if he had become a pendant on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng chuckled.

Although this trip was in vain, it was not completely in vain.

There is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is true.

When men and women work together, the work is not tiring at all.

It seems that no new clues can be found.

Ye Feng, who was about to leave, accidentally discovered that there seemed to be something where the flashlight passed.

Wait a moment!

Ye Feng pulled 10H and ran to check quickly.

The floor was broken and cracked, revealing a large hole that looked like it led to the next floor.

Sure enough, something was missing.

Ye Feng leaned over and observed the big hole. He shone the flashlight downwards. Pieces of building ruins were piled on the ground, and the ground could be vaguely seen. The hole was not deep.

You can jump back by stepping on these concrete blocks.

Ye Feng had an idea in mind. He looked at 10H and was about to say something.

But he saw 10H's terrified expression.

Suddenly, some information about flag emerged in his mind, and he immediately changed his words:

"Come with me..."

"Ah... OK..."

10H suddenly smiled. “I thought you were going to let me wait here while you go down and take a look…”

I don’t want to stay here alone…”

Ye Feng smiled, showing a meaningful expression, and explained:

"According to the plot of the movie, if I go down alone, I won't be able to find you when I return. And you will meet..."

"What……"

10H blinked, waiting for Ye Feng to continue.

Ye Feng suddenly changed his tone and slowed down his speech, saying terribly: "Scary thing~~~~"

Ah~~~

10H screamed, quickly let go of Ye Feng, staggered backwards, curled up on the ground with her hands on her head, and continued screaming.

"Oh my god, I scared you..."

"what……"

The woman's screams continued, echoing in the empty underground space, sounding extremely creepy.

Ye Feng stepped forward helplessly and gently grabbed 10H's arm.

But she threw him away directly.

"Ah... don't touch me...

Go away...go away quickly..."

She closed her eyes and kept pushing away Ye Feng's outstretched hand, moving around in the corner.

"Hey, hey, hey! It's me, it's me."

[It’s over! This is just a joke…]

Ye Feng spoke as he thought about it.

Finally, 10H stopped what she was doing and huddled in the corner, shivering.

Hearing Ye Feng's voice returning to normal, she slowly raised her head, her eyes already red.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to play a joke on you..."

Ye Feng said embarrassedly, reaching out to pull up 10H who was curled up on the ground.

After cleaning the dust off her body, 10H turned around and took the hand of the man who scared her again. She looked at Ye Feng with resentment: "This is not funny at all..."

Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I won't do that next time..."

"You still want a next time!"

"No, no, no, there won't be a next time." Ye Feng said with a smile.

[If you want to scare people, you should target those who are not easily scared.]

hiahiahia~~~】

……

"Promise me that you won't jump down alone and run away, otherwise I will..." 10H pouted and warned Ye Feng.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." The man said secretly in his heart.

Ye Feng jumped down first, and 10H followed carefully.

He stretched out his arms and caught 10H in a princess hug.

“It feels good…”

Ye Feng looked around and looked in the direction of the flashlight.

The situation here is worse than on the upper floor.

Large areas of the wall peeled off and collapsed.

Only dozens of pillars remain, supporting the ceiling and upper areas.

Almost every step you take has to be careful to avoid tripping over the ruins.

The wall did not collapse due to explosion. It looked more like it had been abandoned for a long time and the main structure had aged, resulting in this state.

The age of this area is older than the above ones.

What is going on?

Ye Feng looked at the building on this floor in confusion.

There are too many suspicious points in this place, and it is becoming more and more weird.
