Starting from Cyberpunk - Chapter 209
c209 Tomb of the Princess
“Hey, Rico, how’s the mission going?”
“Well, it’s going well, but this time I feel your strength again.”
“Oh?” Rico’s words made Mo Wen curious. He didn’t know what Rico had encountered that made him say such a thing: “So, Rico?”
“My mission this time is to disband the Kacha area, just like the last operation in Wanai area. The Kacha area is controlled by the black hand. They captured many civilians and members of the riot legion for brainwashing transformation. This time I am going to rescue them and liberate this area by the way;
The last time Wanai was evacuated, because it was I was with you, so I didn’t encounter much resistance, and it was basically solved easily; this time, because I was the only one acting in the Kacha area, although I expected a lot of obstacles, I didn’t expect so many.
When I first broke in, I didn’t encounter anything except that there were more people and firepower. As a result, when I rescued the people and ran out, I encountered the powerful firepower of the black hand. Machine guns, bombs, and snipers were all used, resulting in most of the people we rescued being injured. In addition to those who were not rescued and died in Kacha, a small number of people died because of serious injuries. . . ”
“Uh~” What should I say at this time.
“That’s not your problem, Rico, relax.”
“I know, I was just a little, a little underestimated by the first smoothness.”
“That’s good, I won’t comfort people.” Mo Wen didn’t want the protagonist to die before he got the things here.
But fortunately, Rico is the protagonist after all. He has been an agent for so long and has carried out countless missions. Naturally, he will not have any psychological problems because of this little setback.
“Next, what task did Mira assign you?”
“I don’t know. Mira asked me to meet her on a small island south of the airport.”
“Hmm~ Mira doesn’t want to take over the Capital Airport, does she?”
“Probably not. I haven’t heard that the rebel army has moved there.”
“Well~ Forget it. Remember to call me if you need me. I’m going to the Altoaku area. Harvey said there is a princess’s tomb there and asked me to go there to help investigate.”
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Rico and Mo Wen also separated and went to perform their own tasks.
This time, Mo Wen did not choose to fly over by himself. After all, Lucy also wanted to go out for a walk this time, so the two of them took the Kangtao armed hovercraft out.
Entering the hovercraft that was invisible and on standby at high altitude, Mo Wen entered the navigation information, and then the hovercraft automatically flew to the location given by Harvey.
“Lucy, guess what you will find this time?”
“Hmm~ Maybe it’s another riddle? Didn’t we get a riddle last time?”
“It’s not really a riddle, it’s just that we can’t understand it because the information is incomplete, but it’s not wrong to think so~”
After flying for a while, the hovercraft arrived above the location given by Harvey.
Now that we’re there, we have to start working and can’t continue to be with Lucy.
After opening the door of the hovercraft at high altitude, Mo Wen jumped down.
“No wonder some people like to play skydiving~ It’s exciting!!!” Mo Wen, who was free falling in the air, still had such a feeling even if he didn’t know how many times he had skydived from a high altitude.
The feeling of weightlessness always makes people’s heartbeats accelerate involuntarily, especially in the free fall state!
Soon, when approaching the safe range, Mo Wen adjusted his body position, used the thrusters to slow down, and slowly fell to Harvey’s side.
“You are here, Xiao. This time our target is this area in front of us. I believe you have read the information.”
“Yes.” Mo Wen nodded.
“According to our survey, the tomb of this princess is under this land. There are several consecutive cenotes that can lead directly into it, but it is not a good intersection. The plants inside are very lush and it is easy to get lost. We took this road here,” Harvey pointed to the gap in the ground on one side: “We can enter from the water here. After detection, this road is feasible.”
Harvey didn’t need to tell him whether it was feasible or not. Mo Wen turned on the detector as soon as he landed. The surrounding terrain, structure and underground structure were all displayed in the form of three-dimensional charts in Mo Wen’s eyes.
“I know.” Without waiting for Harvey to finish, Mo Wen jumped up and used the kinetic energy brought by the grappling hook to rush out with the flying wing.
For safety reasons, Mo Wen still took the road Harvey said.
“Lucy, can you see the situation here?” Mo Wen called Lucy while moving back and forth in the cave, and asked her to see the scenery in his eyes.
“It’s hard to imagine how the ancients built such a thing when productivity and labor were underground.”
“Indeed, I just looked at it. The road here was formed by landslides in recent decades, which means that there was no such road before. Looking at the topographic scan map, there should only be a few tiankeng entrances that can lead in before. If I don’t have a grappling hook, it would be difficult to enter and exit that place. How did the ancients build such a thing underground, under the tiankeng?”
Soon, Mo Wen came to the bottom of the sky, and rows of stone pillars and the huge mechanical device in the middle came into their eyes.
“Hiss~ What should I say now?”
“I don’t know either~Xiao, this is bigger and more complicated than the tomb of the servant before, and there is even a palace on the ground!” Lucy looked at the scene from the Ghost Walker helmet, somewhat unbelievable.
“Although I don’t think there is anything wrong with the specifications, but it’s too wrong with this location!”
“It’s hard to imagine how much manpower it takes!”
“I’ll go over there and take a look,” Mo Wen turned his head to look at the ruins on the side: “The detector shows that there is an abnormal structure over there, which should be the location of the giant stone mechanism. If you want to open the tomb, you still have to get the stone sculpture called Uma out.”
Raise your left arm and aim at the ruins in front of you, shoot out the grappling hook, then retract the grappling hook, pull Mo Wen’s body forward quickly (this way you can travel faster).
Looking at the information on the retina, Mo Wen came to a lever mechanism, grabbed the lever with the grappling hook and pulled it hard.
As the lever was pulled down, the stone mechanism made a rumbling sound, and then an Uma rolled down and rolled along the predetermined track towards the mechanism lock below.
“If this thing relies on its own power, I’m afraid I’m the only one in the world who can move it. What method did the ancients use to get this thing up? There are no traces of such auxiliary mechanisms around.”
