Doomsday Code

Chapter 816 Underground Fortress

I knocked on the door, but the password panel I imagined did not appear.

"Don't you have an identity token? Take it out and try it."

Squidward suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Chen Cheng glanced at Squidward, then took out the identity token.

The next moment, the words on the token flashed, and then the gate of the ruins also flashed, and then a familiar panel popped up.

It was still the familiar routine for Chen Cheng, and there was still a math problem on the panel.

However, compared with the opening questions he had seen before, this question was many times simpler.

Because this is an extremely simple parabola problem, and there is a number 2 in front of the problem.

It took Chen Cheng less than a minute to write down the answer. After the panel was retracted, the ground where they were standing began to shake.

What followed was not the door in front of them opening, but the ground they were standing on began to fall.

Chen Cheng looked around. The place where they were standing should have been a place similar to an elevator, but because the ruins were severely damaged, it became an open-air platform.

When the elevator stopped, what appeared before them was the interior of the fortress.

Although a cursory glance reveals that the interior of the fortress has been almost completely destroyed, some of the defensive fortifications that have not yet been demolished can show how heavily it was guarded in the past.

Entering the fortress, long wires like cables were casually discarded on the ground.

These long lines have been abandoned for who knows how many years, but they still shine today.

When the Snow Girl who was following Chen Cheng saw the long glowing line, she immediately pounced on it.

"Be careful."

Chen Cheng immediately reminded her and quickly stepped forward to check on the Snow Girl.

"It's okay. These threads contain very powerful energy. I'm going to take them back with me so that my brothers and sisters won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

The Snow Girl explained to Chen Cheng while picking up the broken threads on the ground.

Chen Cheng also picked up a broken thread, and nothing could be seen on the surface of the thread.

Then he pulled it again and found that the rope was extremely strong. It was so tight that it hurt his hand but he couldn't pull it apart.

And because he couldn't break free from this point, Chen Cheng was going to pack up all these threads and take them away.

"Sheli, come and help me collect all the strings on the ground here."

All of a sudden everyone joined in picking up trash.

However, these unwanted garbage left over from ancient civilizations are all treasures to Chen Cheng and his team.

They picked up all the broken wires on the ground and put them away. Xue Nu also gave the ones she picked up to Chen Cheng, asking Chen Cheng to keep them for her.

Continuing to go deeper into the fortress, all we can see are empty fortifications.

After walking around, I didn't see any other gates or anything.

Chen Cheng thought about it, and then asked Sheli and the others to get on the elevator.

He used his identity token to call up the elevator interface. The title on it changed, and the number in front of the title also changed from 2 to 1.

Chen Cheng reached out and swiped across the panel. As expected, there was another question marked 3 below.

It seems that the number marked in front of the question is the number of floors, and they just went from one to two.

Chen Cheng continued to flip down and found that there were eight floors in total.

Excluding the upper floor that has been destroyed and the second floor that has been explored, there are only six floors left.

Perhaps because all the people stationed here are soldiers, the questions here are not very difficult.

Chen Cheng entered the answers to the questions on the third floor and the elevator started running again.

After they stopped, what appeared in front of them this time was not an empty fortification, but a destroyed gate.

Chen Cheng was very clear about how strong the gate here was. He had seen it in the library in the ancient ruins of Nanmu Forest before.

Even if you use a large-caliber howitzer to blow up this thing, it won't leave a mark.

In order to destroy him, the minimum force required is a demigod-level attack with all his strength.

Not to mention the alarm devices in these ruins. Once triggered, god-level puppets will come out to clean up the saboteurs.

"Be careful."

Chen Cheng immediately reminded him.

At this time, Squidward, who was lying on Chen Cheng's shoulder, was like a cat that smelled blood. Before Chen Cheng could react, he jumped directly from Chen Cheng's shoulder.

Chen Cheng was stunned at first, and then he wanted to curse.

After thinking about it, although this dead octopus had a lot of tricks, it was still a favor to him. He had no choice but to watch it die. Chen Cheng could only draw the magic sword at his waist and walked in.

"Sheli, you stay here with the Snow Girl. This is an order."

Chen Cheng gave an order to Sheli, and then stepped into the gap.

These three floors are different from the two above. I don’t know if it’s because they’ve been destroyed, but the third floor is pitch black at this moment.

Even though Chen Cheng can now see in the dark, he still can't see anything clearly.

Chen Cheng stopped and listened for a while, wanting to hear the sound of Squidward's movements, but after listening for a long time, he could only hear silence.

At this time, Chen Cheng secretly cursed Squidward for being sick. The surroundings were pitch black, giving him an extremely ominous premonition.

But there was no way, since Squidward didn't make any sound, he was the only one who had to make the sound.

"Dead octopus."

Chen Cheng called out very quietly.

However, the next moment Chen Cheng was almost scared to death by his own voice.

Because the call he made seemed to be distorted by someone, becoming extremely strange and then directly drilled into his brain.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng completed a sequence of ascension to deity. Although he didn't know what kind of god he was in the end, he was still a god after all, so he managed to survive this time.

At this time, Chen Cheng also knew why the dead octopus didn't make any sound. The dead octopus must have known what was going on here.

Although Chen Cheng blocked one attack, there was no need for him to be so humble as to try again.

Just as he was about to take a step to continue searching, the next moment he felt his foot stepped on something sticky, and then the thing crawled up his trouser leg towards his body.

At this moment, Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat with fear. He stretched out the magic sword in his hand and poked at the thing on his feet.

The thing that climbed up seemed to have intelligence. When the magic sword approached it, it immediately shrank down until it was completely driven away by Chen Cheng.

At this moment, Chen Cheng felt a little regretful. It was pitch black here, and there were unknown monsters in the dark. He was really careless.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng was about to retreat.

As for Squidward, let's wait until he figures out a rescue plan.
