There is only one problem with those elevators, and that is that there is no electricity.
It's been more than ten years since Koningmis was destroyed by the disaster, and even if there are generators that can run on their own and are maintained by robots, they are now unable to function due to lack of energy.
——Unlike Dajiang City, which is the ruins of Swamp No. 1, there are not enough abundant hydraulic resources.
"Then you can only choose to take the stairs." As an intelligent robot, Gnava will not be depressed because of this.
"No, no, no." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "There is another choice."
A smile appeared on his face under his protective mask.
He then raised his finger to the elevators:
"You can also climb the cable directly."
Gnava immediately assessed the feasibility:
"For me, there is nothing wrong with that.
"For normal humans, the risk is very high, and the possibility of completion is very low, but you should not have any difficulties with the assistance of a military exoskeleton device."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao began to deny himself:
"Let's take the stairs, maybe we can run into more bones."
The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed a few times, without making a sound.
Shang Jianyao's eyes swept over the two open elevators, and suddenly jumped and "flew" into one of them.
He and the weight of the military exoskeleton device made the car sink obviously and shook a few times.
"Be careful!" Gnawa hurriedly reminded.
The elevator here has been abandoned for more than ten years, and no one knows if the cable will break due to such behavior.
Shang Jianyao didn't answer, lowered his head, and measured every inch of space in the elevator with his feet.
After a few seconds, he said disappointedly:
"There is no body."
Gnava understood the significance of his behavior, knowing that he was worried that overlapping with the "new world" might lead to parts of the apartment that seemed empty, but in fact there was a mystery.
This made it easy for Shang Jianyao to miss his father's clues.
After checking another elevator, Shang Jianyao walked to the staircase regretfully.
There are no lights here, it is dark.
As the light of the flashlight shone in, the mottled staircase appeared in the eyes of Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.
"Except for looking shabby, it's quite clean." Shang Jianyao was surprised.
The red light in Gnawa's eyes flashed for a moment and said:
"It may be that the electromagnetic environment in this area is too chaotic, causing dust outside to enter.
"The specific principle is ......"
Shang Jianyao turned his head sideways, glanced at his companion, and interrupted his words in a mournful tone:
"Old guy, at this time you just need to say 'yes, yes'."
Gnava failed to analyze the reason, but still chose to cooperate:
"Okay."
The two climbed up the stairs and walked to the top floor step by step.
It can be seen that the lights outside the stairwell on each floor are bright, and through the cracks in the doors, a bright area is pulled out inside.
At present, Shang Jianyao, who was cautious and cautious, did not choose to directly cross through a similar area, he bypassed what he could bypass, and what he could not bypass, he simply used the stair handrail to climb to the upper floor.
Gnava followed suit.
They dare not bet that they will not be discovered without being "seen" by the "New World" powerhouses or other creatures that may exist on each floor.
The cowardly but cautious Shang Jianyao suspected that the lights were actually the spiritual embodiment of those strong people, and at the source of the overlapping problems, touching the lights was like singing loudly next to other people's ears, and there was no way to hide it.
As for why there were only lights on the first floor and no figures, he didn't know.
Moving up and down so slowly, Shang Jianyao always restrained his human consciousness, relying only on the light of the flashlight that was deliberately adjusted to a weak state to illuminate the way forward.
On the way, he and Gnava found several more bodies.
The bodies on the lower floors also had only clothes, and their bodies were empty, obviously looted by the Eighth Research Institute, and the few found halfway through the floor had some personal belongings in their pockets.
Through their clothes and items, Gnawa clearly judged that these were all employees of "Pangu Creatures" and members of the previous old team.
With the help of skeletal characteristics and item conditions, another conclusion can also be drawn:
This is not Shang Jianyao's father.
"It's just personal belongings......" Shang Jianyao, who was squatting on the stairs on one knee, handed Gnava all the things found on the corpse in front of him, with undisguised disappointment in his tone.
Gnava knew he wanted to find clues from those items, but unfortunately, they were not compressed cookies, chocolates, candies and other items that were convenient and quick to replenish energy, or pistols, bullets and other self-defense items.
"Maybe the management of that team is very strict, and members are not allowed to record information privately, so as not to be obtained by others after being lost." Gnava stuffed the items he received into his backpack.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao stood up, picked up the "Berserker" assault rifle again, and walked up the stairs.
As he walked, he suddenly staggered.
"Be careful." Gnawa learns from humans and expresses concern through reminders.
"It's okay." Shang Jianyao first comforted Gnava, and then said, "I should have been hit by the Awakened One's ability."
"Is this okay?" The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed violently, but he still couldn't understand it.
Shang Jianyao did not stop his steps:
"This ability feels weak and doesn't have much effect on me.
"Moreover, although I was hit by the ability, I did not sense the enemy's consciousness."
Normally, an ability affecting a person means that a connection has been established with this person, and it is no longer possible to hide human consciousness from the other person's sense, unless it can be interrupted and re-hidden before the enemy finds out, or is outside the target sensing range.
The former can be temporarily ruled out, because Shang Jianyao's footsteps are not yet stable, and it seems that nothing is wrong with the assistance of the military exoskeleton device, while the latter means that the hidden awakener is much stronger than Shang Jianyao, but this is more contradictory to the weak effect of the ability.
"It's a bit strange." Gnava responded with a slightly synthetic voice.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's not a few floors away from the top floor, let's don't care about anything else, hurry up, time, go up......"
As he spoke, his tongue seemed to grow a little, and his body swayed, making it difficult to maintain balance.
Shang saw that Yao was not surprised but happy, and said loudly:
"This is very similar to what Dabai, Xiaohong, and Xiaobai have encountered, the kind of 'drunken' ability!
"Is it the eighth, the awakened person of the research institute, hiding nearby?
"But she, she should be weaker than me!"
Gnava understood what he meant - there was no reason why he couldn't sense the other party's human consciousness and was passively beaten.
Before Gnava could respond, Shang Jianyao fell to the ground with a bang.
"I'm drunk, my head is still dizzy, it's very painful......" he whispered to himself.
He then began to switch the behavior patterns of military exoskeleton devices, turning "assist" into "dominant".
Equipment-led, "autonomous driving".
With the input of the command, Shang Jianyao "stood" up and continued steadily along the stairs to the top floor.
Although he was still in a state of "drunkenness", this could not affect his actions at all.
"Cheese, that's right, power, old ......" Shang Jianyao's tongue was so big that he was a little slurred.
At this moment, a rope swaying in the wind on the glass window of the stairwell.
In the dark night, it was like a dancing poisonous snake.
Shang Jianyao's eyes froze, and his whole body showed a state of wanting to twist his body and run away.
But the military exoskeleton device stopped him.
The command received by this equipment has not been changed, and it judges that such a rope is not a threat!
"No!" Shang Jianyao screamed and was "hijacked" by the military exoskeleton device and continued upstairs.
The closer he got to the rope, the more he screamed, and in the end, he even shouted loudly:
"Lao Ge, save me!"
Gnava analyzed a certain possibility and chose to just follow without speaking.
Finally, Shang Jianyao crossed the glass window of the stairwell and no longer had to see the snake-like rope.
He suddenly calmed down.
After a few seconds, he said excitedly, who didn't dare to turn around at all:
"Lao Ge, this should be caused by the power of the top floor, overflowing.
"Otherwise, it is impossible, both capable, effective, and attached, cost."
According to the "old tune team", "twisting koji biophobia" is a price.
"While some of the costs are the same as the effects of certain abilities, I still think it's true that your guess has a fairly high probability." Gnava agreed with Shang Jianyao's speculation.
Shang Jianyao said happily:
"Then we, continue, go up, the distance, the source of the problem, is not far away!"
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became low:
"The closer you get, the top floor, the influence, should, the stronger it is, wait a moment, if I can't control myself, the old man, you will knock me unconscious and take me up."
"Okay." Gnava agreed, "But you need to adjust the order to put me on the whitelist of no defense and no confrontation."
Otherwise, he really couldn't solve the military exoskeleton device that dominated Shang Jianyao's body in a short period of time.
In this way, Shang Jianyao walked with difficulty, and Gnawa followed him, ready to help at any time.
When Shang Jianyao's "drunkenness" state was about to reach the point of delirium, the two finally came to the stairwell on the top floor, separated from the target location by only a wooden door that opened opposite.
It was pitch black as ink, and the light of the flashlight could only illuminate a very small area.
