Chapter 1261 A Mess

On the other side, Alyssa and the others were still anxiously waiting for the elevator to rise.

The freight elevator was too slow and was far less convenient than the passenger elevator. This was only possible with the help of Li Chengxi who helped speed it up.

After all, the most important attribute of a freight elevator is its load-bearing capacity, not its speed and comfort. In addition, the main facilities of the Deep Diving Devil are more than ten kilometers under the ice, so this period of time is quite difficult.

Faint sounds of explosions mixed with vibrations came from all directions, but because they were too blurry, it was impossible to tell the exact direction.

Occasionally there would be some sporadic gunshots, and this time they could be heard coming from below.

Li Chengxi also said that someone tried to control the elevator down, but his authority was not as high as his, so he could only stamp his feet in front of the control console below. It is hard to say whether it was the escaped guests or the group of red-robed cyborgs who tried to make the elevator go down.

What's even more difficult is that Li Chengxi also said that all the cameras on the ground were destroyed, probably because of intensive bombing. The counterattack of the Deep Diving Devil lasted less than twenty seconds before it was blocked by the Glow Ion Hermitage with technical means, and then it was blown up by a warship from the synchronous orbit.

The result is that Li Chengxi doesn’t know what the situation is like up there.

The internal surveillance was not completely destroyed, but apart from being able to see the Glow Ion Priory shooting at the security forces, all that could be seen were corpses.

The only thing that is certain is that the people of the Glowing Ion Hermitage are invading the Deep-Diving Demons as quickly and decisively as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and it is just as they said themselves, no one can escape, they will all die!
Alyssa was not worried about the Swan. With Carlos there, they would definitely respond as soon as the attack began. The problem now was how they would get back to the Swan.

With this uneasiness in mind, the gears of the elevator platform meshed and climbed upwards, and this time I finally saw the end.

With a loud bang and the sound of the engine jamming, the elevator platform reached the top floor.

This place looked like a huge octagonal reinforced concrete structure with a huge airlock door sticking out of one wall. There was no one else except them.

"Go get some protective clothing. There should be a car nearby that you can use."

At all entrances and exits leading to the outside world, a large number of protective suits will be prepared in case of emergency. It didn't take much time for everyone to find the protective suits, and they didn't care about the size, as long as they could wear them.

Moreover, this is a freight export, so it is normal to have transportation waiting here.

After everyone put on their protective suits and masks, Alyssa quickly walked to the airlock door and tried to open it.

As Alyssa pressed the door-opening button, Li Chengxi said:
"I suggest you stay away from the door when you open it."

Everyone stepped back and faced the main door. Almost at the same time as the airlock door was lifted a crack, red flames rushed in.

For Alyssa and the others standing by the door, it felt like a fire dragon was running past them, leaving a layer of charred marks on the metal floor.

Fortunately, it wasn't a flamethrower spraying at the door. As the airlock continued to rise, the flames quickly subsided. I don't know if the oxidizer had burned out.

When everyone tried to poke their heads out from behind the airlock door, the first thing they saw was a mess.

The facilities outside the airlock door could no longer be recognized in their original appearance. A large amount of hot building debris fell on the ice and snow, hissing and smoking. Some flames that had not completely burned out filled the field of vision like countless sparks.

"Armor-piercing incendiary grenades? Were we attacked by a battleship?"

Alyssa recognized it at a glance. This attack effect was an armor-piercing incendiary grenade that could only be fired by a naval gun with a caliber of more than 300 mm. In short, it could penetrate armor, explode, and burn in one go. It was a hero among shells.

This type of shell is effective, but it is difficult to produce and the cost is high. Only the military can equip it in small quantities. Recyclers like Alyssa basically do not use this type of shell that has no cost-effectiveness.

There’s not enough money for ammunition to fight a fight.

In addition to the burning fireballs all over the ground, there were corpses, fragments of unknown machinery, and a large number of empty boxes scattered all over the ground. There was no place to step, and it was a scene of human tragedy.

But Alyssa didn't care how terrible the scene was, they now needed transportation to escape.

Then she saw that what was supposed to be a long, roofed building had been shattered to the ground, and among the wreckage, there seemed to be parts such as wheels that had been blown away.

No way, no way, could the garage really have been blown up?
The temperature outside was dropping rapidly because of the ice and snow that served as a heat dissipation medium, so Alyssa immediately led the team out.

The moment they left the airlock, the artificial gravity disappeared, and the original gravity of this dwarf planet returned to only about one-eighth of the standard gravity, making Alyssa and the others look like they were running on a trampoline, which was quite funny.

Their target was of course the bombed-out ruins of what was suspected to be a garage.

Attacks from shells, ion beams and unknown things appeared on everyone's retina, like a cruel meteor shower falling from the sky, destroying the defense weapons, radars and communication equipment deployed by the deep-diving devil on the surface of the planet. A large number of shuttles flew across the sky as fast as locusts, carrying fighters and landing to clean up the remaining forces on the ground.

Judging from the direction, it should be the main building of the Deep Diving Devil. Alyssa and the others came out from a cargo passage far away, so they were at least safe for the time being.

And Alyssa didn't even take a few more glances at the situation over there. She prayed a thousand times in her heart, hoping that there would be a few drivable cars left!
As a result, everyone ran over there and found that there was indeed a garage and there was indeed a car that could be driven.

But it was buried in the rubble.

The shock wave shattered the walls and roof structure of the garage, and now it has hit the vehicles. Considering the scale of this, digging with bare hands is definitely not enough. Even if the gravity is only one-eighth, it is still too much.

"Boss! Here, I found one that's not buried too deeply."

Fang Lanyin raised her hand to signal everyone to come over, and the lights on their chests illuminated a car that looked to be still usable.

The car was in the middle of the garage. When it collapsed, only a small amount of roof debris fell on it. Judging from the gap, it should be able to be driven out.

Although it was also buried, it was not as solid as the other cars, and it was impossible to find other means of transportation nearby. Alyssa and the others immediately took action and moved the stones that blocked the wheels.

Fang Lanyin rushed over as the car door appeared and quickly checked the condition of the car.

There is bad news:
"The ignition is broken. It needs immediate repair."

And there was even worse news. A shell fell about forty or fifty meters away from them. No one knew what caliber the shell was. The only thing they knew was that when the thing exploded, Alyssa, who was moving stones, didn't even have a chance to curse. She was blown backwards by the shock wave on the spot.

So Alyssa doesn't like being bound by gravity, not even the damn dwarf planet. The shock wave spread along the ground and the snow powder floating on the ice, and it felt like Alyssa's legs were almost broken.
