Chapter 72: Into the Depths (2/2)
Mu gave a few more orders to Ye Chong, and, in the blink of an eye, the two arrived before the door on the eleventh level.
This door was obviously different from the rest - while the ten alloy doors before it were equipped with identification mechanisms, the current door on the eleventh level was devoid of any devices, and Ye Chong was greatly startled by that fact!
Mu stood before the alloy door of the eleventh level, his bionic eyes were flashing in a frenzy. Ye Chong stood beside the door as Mu suggested, his legs slightly bent in preparation and his dagger in hand. Man and machine were silent throughout their maneuvers.
As expected, after ten seconds, the doors slid open, and Ye Chong rushed through the opening between the door panels like a ghost and slipped through!
”There’re two people beyond the door, as expected as well!” Ye Chong thought to himself!
Prepared for the encounter, Ye Chong slashed his dagger through the air like lightning!
The two people beyond the door did not expect the door to suddenly open. Two dark flashes of movement filled their eyes in disbelief, before their throats were marked with a thin slit of blood that spread quickly outwards. After a slight pause, a soft ”pop” sounded, and blood sprayed from the throats of the two victims.
The two guards watched Ye Chong with disbelief, and slowly fell to the ground, silent throughout their final ordeal.
The whole process was neatly and efficiently done; the two victims did not even manage to sound the alarm right beside them. The automatic alarm system was already disabled by Mu.
Ye Chong and Mu did not waste any more time as they moved forward posthaste.
They were greeted by a large roundish chamber, over 100 meters across. In the center of the chamber, there were a few concentric silver rings on the floor. The rest of the chamber was filled with a variety of mechs. The mechs shined with an attractive luster, painted in enchanting, interweaving colours of bright silver, ocean blue, light emerald and fiery red. These mechs stood quietly in the chamber like silent soldiers, filling the chamber with a mysterious attractive quality.
These were all rare and advanced level mechs, and some were even limited editions. There were many that Ye Chong had never even heard of, and his eyes glowed with yearning from his long deprivation of mechs. These were not just run-of-the-mill products! Some of the mechs had accessories gathered at their feet, and Ye Chong noticed with his keen eyes that many of them were top of the line!
Could these mechs be the reason Mu brought him here?
Ye Chong could not help but feel that that something was wrong. While these mechs were advanced and top grade, they were still not as good as the F-58. The F-58 might look ugly and unwieldy, its performance was still above the mechs in the chamber. Black Cove’s strength was truly admirable!
”How can Mu not notice that? It’s impossible!” Ye Chong immediately dismissed his undoubtedly silly idea!
He looked towards Mu, and saw the mech standing at the center of the concentric circles in the chamber, as his bionic eyes flashed wildly. Ye Chong paused at the sight - could there be something to this place?
As expected, after fifteen seconds, Mu spoke hastily, ”Ye, quickly!”
Ye Chong promptly stepped onto the silver circles. Before he could steady himself, he felt the ground below him vanish, and Ye Chong staggered. Fortunately, he was sharp enough to grab hold onto Mu beside him in time, thus avoiding a fall!
The silver concentric circles carried Ye Chong and Mu silently downwards!
