Chapter 319 Crisis is coming!
Strictly speaking, it was not a 'pothole'.
It's more like a huge vertical channel dug out by underground people.
The diameter of the circular pit is ten meters long, and the side walls are tens of meters deep. Looking down from above, everyone can clearly see the bright light coming from it.
"Barbara, have you activated the system below?" Star-Lord turned his head curiously.
"No, I haven't completely cracked it yet. There are many automatically running subroutines here. It's not easy to bypass them and invade the network." Barbara replied.
"No wonder, after all, this place was established by one of the smartest people in the world." Logan spread his hands and came to the edge of the circular pit. "Then there should be an automatic machine down there, right? Should we go down directly or what?"
"Go straight down. Judging from the 3D terrain map, there is a long corridor below us and a huge scientific research room at the end. If we are looking for clues about the Ultimate Eraser, that should be our target." Barba Ra thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, everyone, be careful. I'll go down to explore the road first."
Star-Lord comforted the people behind him, and then he took the brunt of the action and activated the jet device under his feet, jumped down into the pit, and slowly landed with the help of the repulsion under his feet.
And when he finally landed back on the ground, he was surprised to find that Constantine was already waiting for him in the corridor below.
"You" Star-Lord was stunned.
"Magic, magic." Constantine shrugged.
Behind them, the rest of the people also used their magical powers to come to the corridor. Except for Logan, who flew down with the help of Shazam, everyone else had sufficient landing experience.
"What should we do next?" Raven turned his gaze to Star-Lord and asked.
At this time, her condition is much better than before. Since coming to this world, she has never experienced the torture of her father. Not only can she have a good rest, but she can even use magic much more smoothly than before.
"Let's take a look along the corridor first. I haven't had much contact with the Fantastic Four, so I'm not very familiar with this place, but we still have to be careful. There may be traps here." Star-Lord Said seriously.
"You've watched too many old movies. These are all in ruins." Pietro shook his head and offered a different opinion. "Besides, even if there is a trap, the underground people will probably trigger it for us."
A few minutes later, everyone was chatting and walking, and arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.
"It seems that because of the lighting, the underground people did not cause too much damage here." Star-Lord stepped on the broken steel bars and jumped down the steps. When he walked out of the collapsed door, he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.
As far as the eye can see, a huge laboratory is displayed in front of everyone. Countless experimental equipment and broken wires are scattered on the ground. Bright lights shine in the room. A huge steel robot is displayed on the wall, with plugs on it. There are several connectors.
At the edge of the room, you can also see another smaller hole, which is connected to the deeper rooms of the Baxter Building. This shows that the underground people were dug directly from the ground.
"Wow, the Hulkbuster armor still has a reactor. If this thing is placed outside, it will probably be able to defeat those forces." Star-Lord approached the giant machine armor and murmured to himself.
Since the death of Iron Man, the manufacturing method of these steel reactors has been lost. Even the cutting-edge scientists of Hydra have spent so many years unable to decipher it. Now that they see the Iron Man suit again, Star-Lord and Logan still feel Very complicated.
"I may know why I can't crack the system here." Barbara quickly walked to a chassis and plugged in the data cable. “There’s also artificial intelligence running here.”
"But I didn't see any traces of the Ultimate Eraser. Maybe there are records of the Fantastic Four's weapons arsenal somewhere else. We can put it down and look for it." Logan looked at the mess on the ground and said in a deep voice. .
Hearing this, Star-Lord felt helpless.
"Logan, do you know how big this place is?"
However, before he finished speaking, there was sudden movement among the ruins.
(Zizizi automatically activates the startup program. Zizi voice recognition is in progress. Matching is successful with Star-Lord)
The sudden sound startled Old Wolf. He couldn't help but look closer and found that it was a small robot with a damaged exterior.
"What the hell is this?"
(.Voice recognition in progress. Successfully matched Wolverine.)
The screen on the robot's head slowly opened, and a human face emoticon appeared.
(Happy welcome to you. Allies of the Fantastic Four. Zizi. I am Herbie, the intelligent butler of the Fantastic Four. I am responsible for protecting and assisting the surviving heroes in compliance with the agreement. Zizizi.)
"It seems that this is a back-up left by the Fantastic Four, but this sweeping robot has been buried underground for many years and cannot get out." Constantine looked at the little guy and said casually.
(Herbie is a smart housekeeper, not a Zizi sweeping robot)
But now, no one cares about these titles.
"Herbie, are you blocking my access to the Internet?" Barbara turned around and asked while typing on the keyboard.
(Herbie is protecting the Fantastic Four's network security. The multi-temporal barrier oscillator is being maintained here.)
"How to play multiple oscillators?"
Although I don't know what Herbie is talking about, judging from the name alone, this is obviously not a safe device. After so many experiences, all the heroes know that when put together with the word 'diversity', it is not a safe device. What a simple thing.
(Multiple time barrier oscillator sizzles.)
Herbie said it again.
(.This is a device capable of tearing apart the multiverse barrier leading to the flow of time. If not handled properly, the explosion set off from within will cover an area within a mile.)
"Okay, I know!"
When Barbara heard this, she immediately took her hands off the keyboard.
"The explosion of the time stream sounds outrageous. Richards actually installed such a dangerous thing in his own building!" Star-Lord couldn't help but roar.
Next to him, Logan curled his lips. "I've said before that scientists are crazy."
(Alarm! Alarm! Alarm! ZZZZZ. Intruder detected!)
Suddenly, Herbie's screen emoticon disappeared and was replaced by a red exclamation point, which continued to flash with a dazzling light.
"What, is there anyone else besides us?" Kate immediately prepared for battle.
"It may be the underground people. We just pushed them back. With their numbers, they are likely to come back. After all, we are in their base camp now." Logan also stood up again.
(Detected multiple advanced vital signs approaching)
"It doesn't matter. If it's someone from the underground, leave it to me." After Shazam transformed, he had already used magic to construct a leg. He walked quickly in front of everyone and faced the dark entrance of the cave.
But he was soon stopped by Constantine.
".I'm afraid it's not the underground people."
Constantine frowned tightly, and kept looking at the surrounding environment with melancholy eyes. He could see through energy fluctuations that ordinary people could not see. The guy coming towards them at this time was definitely not comparable to the trash of the underground people. of.
"Aren't you curious where on earth those church members are?"
Realizing the strength of the opponent, Constantine took out the playing cards from his arms with a dry smile.
"Now they're here."
