#1965 - Rock Layer
The individual fighting force of Alyssa is not strong. Since Li Chengxi met Alyssa, except for Princess Leia, there is no one above level 30.
Alyssa herself is almost level 20, probably only level 15. If she were on Viola's side, this level would be similar to that of a soldier who had received three months of training and could face the goblins 1 vs 2.
But the weapons these guys use are too over the top.
Twenty people opening fire together, the firepower density is no less than that of twenty mages above level 30 simultaneously attacking with ray spells, and the density of energy weapons is much higher than that of spell attacks.
“Stop shooting.”
Seeing that the crocodiles were completely motionless, Alyssa ordered a ceasefire and hit the crocodiles twice with her own hands. Only after making sure that they were dead did she dare to bring her men closer.
This is a monster with a head like a saltwater crocodile, but its body is covered with black scales similar to those of a snake. Its limbs look short, thick and powerful. It does not run with its belly pressed against the ground like a crocodile, but is more like a Komodo dragon, which relies on four legs to support its body and move.
Alyssa had never seen this kind of monster, but fortunately, their scales could not resist the attack of energy weapons.
"Something is wrong."
Li Chengxi's voice came from the headset, he said:
"Sista is following you. In this situation, monsters weaker than Sista, especially wild beasts, will not attack you and will be scared away."
"What does this mean?"
"This means that these two crocodiles are either Shi Lezhi or someone raised them and placed them here specifically as guards."
Alyssa nodded, and she had to be careful in her next actions and not refer to the style of the savages before.
She reminded others on the communication channel to be alert, and then everyone rushed into the door that was still emitting water mist.
The mist here is unbelievably thick. The air circulation system is clearly still working, but it seems to have no effect. People cannot see clearly if they are more than one meter apart, and they simply disappear from sight if they are more than two meters apart.
Everyone turned on their respective positioning signals, which was the most advantageous way for everyone to confirm each other's location in the mist.
At this moment, accompanied by a whoosh, as if a strong wind blew from a distance, the mist that obscured the vision suddenly dissipated a lot.
In addition to allowing everyone to see each other, they also saw something else.
The mist dissipated, and the gray rocks hidden in the mist were the first to appear. If you follow the line of sight along the rocks, you will see undulating outlines and shadows of varying depths, dotted just above, and red warning lights that were unclear under the cover of mist.
The mist rolled up and down, and in the breeze that came from nowhere, it looked like soft cotton, but there seemed to be something hidden in the coldness.
By opening the mask and listening carefully, they could hear a very subtle echo, as if they were in an extremely large and empty room. Any slight movement would be amplified exponentially, and they could even hear the sound of their own blood flowing through their veins.
Alyssa looked down and saw that the ground under her feet was no longer solid, but fine soil and rocks, gray and covered with a layer of dense water vapor.
They seemed to have reached the rock formation of the planet's fortress.
Planet fortresses are not built out of thin air. They are usually transformed from wandering celestial bodies of suitable size and high density. The rock layers wrapped in heavy shells usually have some minerals available for mining.
At this time, the wind was getting stronger. I could feel the strong chill hitting my face, and the fog in the distance gradually dissipated.
The first thing everyone saw was a canyon. Even on the cliff-like walls, there were traces of excavation. Considering the location and the distance from the forging workshop, this was probably once a mine used to supply metal ores to the smelting workshop and forging workshop.
But as the fog further dissipated, everyone found themselves as if standing on a high hill. Looking down, they could see something that looked like a village. On the other side of the village, there was even a swamp-like landscape.
There was a huge door like an airlock behind him, but behind the door it looked like he was in a village in the valley, giving him a sense of confusion as if he had traveled through time.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The size of a planetary fortress is very large. It is no problem to cram a few cities in it. The key is whether the entire wandering celestial body can be hollowed out.
The royalist planet fortress simply modified it a little, adding power systems, shields, and fortress guns, without any particularly deep modifications.
And this planetary fortress of the Glowing Ion Yin Order...
To be honest, Alyssa wasn't sure how much had been transformed.
According to the data provided by the scanner, one of the places with stronger energy reactions is nearby.
"Let's go down. The jetpacks are ready to go. Watch your step."
Alyssa’s words brought everyone back to their senses. As expected of an experienced recycler, this situation was surprising, but not outrageous.
The crowd followed the narrow muddy path that meandered down the solid rock slope. This road was originally supposed to be used by large transport trucks to carry earth or ore, but it had collapsed over a long period of time, so only a small path remained.
Every few steps they took, they might fall off the road and into the misty water below. This was why Alyssa asked everyone to be ready to turn on their jet packs at any time. If they fell, at least they would be able to slow down and avoid dying.
At this moment, a drop of water fell on Alyssa’s face. She touched it and looked up.
The thick fog above clung to the ceiling, whose exact location could not be seen. The water vapor there condensed into water again, and fell like raindrops.
At first it was just sporadic, but later it developed into a real rain of drops, and everyone had to put on their masks again.
The bottom edge of this steep ridge was connected to the swamp. When Alyssa and the others walked down, they just walked into the village next to the swamp.
“This place must have been abandoned for a long time.”
Lieutenant Dui led a few people to walk in front to explore the way. He said in the communication channel:
"I saw an abandoned fishing village when I was in Stantum. It felt similar to this place."
The houses in the village were basically built with rubble, making use of local materials, but there were no lights on in any of the houses, and when the crowd walked down, they didn't see anyone in the village.
Sofia approached the nearest house and peered inside.
"There was nothing inside, no bodies, no furniture, no signs of life, these houses were just empty shells."
Rather than being an abandoned village, it is more like a ghost town that was built but no one lives there, and everything is still in its bare-bones state.
This situation is somewhat strange.
