The world underneath is empty and huge beyond anyone's imagination.

A dark river is rushing, coming from the darkness and surging towards the dark unknown. On the edge of the dark river, there is a dry rock wall and riverbank.

The rock wall seems to have been carved into a round, eggshell-like structure. And on top of such a structure, there are metal plates that have been inlaid and spliced together. There was an elevator shaft-like passage jutting out of a part of the rock wall, and when they looked in the direction of the elevator shaft from Skye's angle, all they could see was a deep darkness.

As you can imagine, this is the path to that secret that they don't know. And seeing such an existence, neither Skye nor those mutants have any intention of acting rashly.

Skye was purely out of scruples, she didn't know what kind of existence was inside, so she definitely had to think twice before acting. The five mutants, on the other hand, have absolutely no idea what to do. In the final analysis, the difference between them and ordinary people is only one more ability, and other than that, they are completely no different from ordinary people.

In such a situation, they must be overwhelmed. So they could only ask Skye at this time.

"What are we going to do next? Is it possible to go in directly from here? ”

"If you're going to die, I'm not going to stop you!"

He replied casually, and while he was unable to speak a mutant who was speaking, Skye had already caught a creeping reptile from the edge of the underground river.

It's California with a warm climate, and with the humid environment of the underground river, it's easy to spot these strange reptiles, and it's not a big deal. And to catch such a little guy, Skye naturally didn't want to keep it in captivity like a pet, or to eat it raw like some person who has no taboos. She just wanted this little thing to be a pathfinder and let them see if there was anything strange about that elevator shaft.

The hapless little guy was soon violently thrown into the elevator shaft by Skye. Suddenly in pain, it immediately wanted to run away from there, and according to the animal's instinctive reaction, it preferred to escape back to the environment it was familiar with, such as the river where it had lived all its life.

It's just that Skye's presence forced it to dispel this unrealistic illusion. Although the size of the brain is less than a walnut, this little guy can tell the difference, and Skye blocked at the exit is his biggest obstacle. With her, she didn't want to be able to return to her nest safely, and if she wanted to survive, she had to go away.

So soon, after being stunned for a moment, the little guy directly wagged his tail and turned around and ran towards the interior of the elevator shaft.

It seems to be calm and calm, and there is no danger in any place. This situation made the mutants who had just been blocked by Skye subconsciously want to taunt Skye, but then, a slight flash of light made him swallow the words that had reached his mouth immediately.

He could see clearly that the reptile that Skye had thrown into had suddenly stopped in a jubilant run. It's not because it's tired of running, it's because it's dead. As the skeleton collapsed, its entire body was completely scattered to the ground like a pile of debris. It is conceivable that if it was himself who had just entered, then I am afraid that his situation would not be much better than that of this unlucky little guy.

Skye saved the lives of these guys. However, she did not mean to be proud, but explained to them calmly.

"A laser channel that reacts to living things. Without a pass, no creature can pass through here safely. Many advanced laboratories use this method. That's why I didn't let you in. If you want to live, give me honest and obedient! ”

Nothing is more instructive than the brutal truth. After seeing this, no matter who it was, no matter how dissatisfied with Skye was. They are all starting to be honest. They cowered behind Skye like schoolchildren, and cautiously addressed her with such information.

"Miss Johnson, what are we going to do next?"

"What to do? Of course I found a way to get in from here! Such a stupid question really didn't make Skye want to answer, so she just rolled her eyes and began to work on it.

Although there is no network port, the small computer that Skye carries with him is able to intervene in the operating system of the defense mechanism through radio streams. And as long as she can intervene, then manually shutting down this laser defense channel is not a problem for her.

Soon, she had all the defenses under control. Because she was worried that shutting down directly would have the effect of startling the snake, she just controlled these defensive weapons and let them temporarily enter a state of fire. This means that the whole system is still running, but it just doesn't work.

Of course, such a thing is not understandable to mutants. From their point of view, they could only see Skye doing something through the small computer on his arm. And it didn't take her more than two minutes for her to stop doing so, and she commanded them very boldly.

"Okay, the problem is solved. Get ready, let's go! ”

"Go? Go inside? Are you kidding us? Almost timidly looking at the elevator shaft that had just taken a life, the mutants immediately shook their heads and flinched. I'm not going! I don't want to be cut into so many pieces like that crawler. It's horrible! I can't die like this! ”

"I said it, and I've already solved it. If you're scared, it's too late to turn back! ”

Without any further squabbling with the mutants, Skye climbed down the elevator shaft on his own. Looking at Skye who acted like this, Westen gritted his teeth and followed directly.

This really frightened his four companions, who hurriedly shouted at him.

"Wait, Westen. What do you want to do? Damn, you're killing yourself. Come back soon, don't go any further! ”

"Listen, guys. We didn't have a choice! Westen shook his head and climbed deeper as he said to his companions. Miss Johnson is helping us, and she's already leading the way. Naturally, we can't let her fight alone. Don't forget, our loved ones are probably inside, so could it be that such a small danger scares you and makes you abandon them? If so, all I can say is that I'm sorry. But I have reasons why I have to move forward. I'm going to get my sister out! ”

His unwavering words made the other four companions look at each other. From each other's eyes, they both saw a kind of shame and an indescribable chagrin. People can only see their own contemptible points through comparison. And in the face of their own contemptible, someone will blame others for all their faults. And some people will make up their minds to change their ways.

These young mutants are not bad by nature. Otherwise, they would not have been able to embark on such a difficult path for the sake of their relatives and friends. Maybe they were confused by the fear in their hearts before, but this fear does not always dominate them. When they realized the mistakes they had made, they immediately summoned up the courage to take action.

Listening to the crawling sound of Si Si Suo from behind him, a smile finally appeared on Westen's face. Why are mutants so powerful these days? In addition to having a strong backer, the main reason is that all the mutants have been united. And he also believes that as long as these companions of his can be united, they will be able to accomplish their goals. It's not a luxury, it's the confidence of being a mutant. There's no reason for them to fail, especially with Skye's help.

Realizing the huge role Skye played to them, Westen couldn't help but speak his heart to Skye in front of him.

"Thank you, Miss Skye. If we can save our loved ones, we will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. ”

"Wait until you get them out!"

Skye's reply was as cold as ever, and at the same time, her speed didn't slow down in the slightest. They kept climbing down, down the elevator shaft and deeper underground.

It's a kind of in-depth march that almost has no end in sight, and the process alone is enough to make people feel oppressive enough to crush one's heart. Dark, dead silence. Ordinary people simply can't afford such an environment. But they are not ordinary people, and each of them can tighten this string in their hearts just right.

Neither let it be too loose, nor let it break down because it is too tight.

It was under such circumstances that they finally came to the end of this elevator shaft. And in the face of everything at the end, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Even the well-informed Skye couldn't help but turn his head at this time and ask such questions to the mutants behind him.

"Are you sure you're just losing your loved ones, not your entire circle of friends? What the hell, how many relatives do you have? ”

The mutants didn't speak, because they didn't know what to say at this time. In front of them were hundreds of capsule-like devices, each containing a figure that appeared to have been frozen. Their relatives are among them, but, is this really just their relatives?
