Chapter 1950 Keys in Hand
The ecology in the fortress is a bit confusing, which is different from what Alyssa has seen before.
As mentioned before, Alyssa has seen a starship fall down. After a long time without rescue, the descendants on the starship gradually turned against the ancient times and became a group of savages who worship the reactor as a god.
When she first saw Kevin's tribe, Alyssa was not surprised, after all, she had experience in this kind of thing.
But when she saw this town that was developing quite well, Alyssa couldn't figure it out. Don't you have any communication with those savages?
It stands to reason that it is not physically isolated, and it will definitely slowly affect the surroundings, but the result is clear.
Along the way, it was like the previous village was a barbaric era of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and the next village not far away had actually evolved to the Middle Ages, and they still coexisted.
Alyssa looked at the red robe of the person who led her. Could it be that this group of people were the descendants of the Yin Xiu Society of the Glowing Ion, and the group of savages were brought by the portal?
With these in mind, as Alyssa and her group came down from the higher city gate and onto the street, people began to look out of the two-story houses on both sides.
It seemed that they had just received the news and were surrounding Alyssa and her group.
This group of people was much better than the savages in terms of dress and spirit. At least they looked like human beings, but they seemed very superstitious. Wherever Alyssa and her group went, there was a group of people worshipping them, even children were no exception.
To be honest, this feeling was indeed a bit secretly pleasant.
The soldiers who were responsible for leading the way just now became security guards to maintain public order, separating the crowds who tried to squeeze in, perhaps because they were afraid of bumping into the savior, or perhaps because they were afraid that Sista, who was following Alyssa, would get angry.
As I said just now, this town is not big, and it is not even at the level of a city. Standing at the city gate and looking out, it is less than 10,000 people.
So the street is not too long, and Alyssa and her group were soon led to a building that was wrapped very tightly.
It is hard to tell what it originally looked like now. It is covered with a thick layer of iron sheet, with only a small part of the concrete structure and chemical fiber materials exposed.
The part with people living outside and the street is actually the material storage yard of the foundry workshop, so it is a large flat open space.
Alyssa looked at the map and felt that the thing in front of her should have been the control room of the foundry workshop. As for what it has been transformed into now, she would have to go in to know.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and a group of guys in red robes ran out quickly. It felt that these guys might be at the level of city managers.
When they saw Alyssa, they were also excited and burst into tears. I don’t know if they were pretending, but they acted very well anyway.
“The savior is finally here, I knew the prophecy would not lie to us!”
Then the group of people made a loud cry, which surprised Alyssa.
Why are you still crowing?
This may be some kind of local prayer, just like the Demon King Cult uses grass and Gan as prayers, which is roughly equivalent to Amen and Amitabha.
The red-robed people were crowing. Alyssa estimated that they were probably trying to reproduce the sharp sound made by the forging hammer hitting the metal, but they just didn't imitate it very well.
But this is not the point. Alyssa quickly interrupted the group of people who were crying there and asked:
"What's wrong with your city?"
"Our flame is about to disappear."
Well, they are still talking in circles. These guys can speak the common language, so why is it so difficult to communicate?
It's not that they can't speak, but in their opinion, their problem is that the flame is about to disappear.
Immediately, the group of red-robed people led Alyssa and others inside.
As expected, this was indeed the control room of the foundry workshop, and Alyssa also found that most of the equipment in the control room was still preserved, and it was not dismantled like the previous group of savages.
This is good news.
Now we just need to see if there is a terminal with Internet access here, put the boot disk on it, and things will be much easier afterwards.
At this time, the group of red-robed people walked to the deepest part and opened a door.
The situation behind the door made Alyssa's eyelids jump slightly.
There were seven or eight red-robed people kneeling on the ground behind the door, but they had their backs to the crowd. Even though there was a sound of the door opening, they did not look back.
What surprised Alyssa slightly was that these red-robed people were all wearing incense burners, and even from the back, they could see a lot of traces of mechanization.
These people were from the Glowing Ion Yin Xiu Society.
"It has been five hundred years since the sage passed away. The sage who taught us knowledge left a prophecy that one day the fire of our city will go out, and then the world will fall into darkness, but the savior will come at this time."
One of the red-robed people pointed to an oil painting on the wall in the room with great excitement and said:
"Savior, you are finally here!"
The oil painting showed a person wearing a protective suit walking on the surface of the planetary fortress. It was probably a photo that looked like an oil painting.
Alyssa suddenly realized, oh, it turned out to be because of our protective suits?
The protective suits that Alyssa and the others wore were constantly being improved and optimized. They were not as bulky as the space suits on Earth, but at least there was not much difference in appearance and structure.
No wonder she was considered the savior.
Alyssa looked down and saw that the members of the Glowing Ion Order had already died. At this time, they were still kneeling as if their mechanical bodies were welded to the floor.
And the direction they were worshipping...
Alyssa looked at the map and it was indeed the direction of the command room of the fortress.
The members of the Glowing Ion Order were extremely pious, so pious that Alyssa couldn't understand why they would dedicate everything to a god who would appear at any time.
But even if she didn't understand, there was no doubt about the piety of these people.
Alyssa's eyes continued to scan the room. It should have been cleaned by someone. There was nothing left except the paintings on the wall and the completely mechanized bodies of the members of the Glowing Ion Order.
However, she saw that one of the members of the Glowing Ion Order had a metal cylinder on his waist, about the length of a palm, hung on his waist with a lock.
This made Alyssa's heart move, and she immediately turned around and said to the red-robed people who brought them here:
"I understand your troubles. We are the people predicted by the sage. Take us to the control room."
"Control room?"
A group of red-robed people looked at each other, and they didn't seem to know the name.
"Uh... it's the place where you can control the fire."
Someone thought quickly and immediately said:
"You mean the prayer room? Please follow me."
Alyssa nodded and asked you to lead the way, then gently touched Sophia, who was the bodyguard, and pointed to the ground.
The latter understood, and soon before they walked a few steps, Alyssa felt Sophia stuffed a metal cylinder in front of her. Her fingers could even touch the tiny gap on the surface of the cylinder, which was obviously a deformable structure that could open it.
It's done, the key is in hand.
