Chapter 1670: Sturdy Barrier
HALL-E vaguely recognized this towering skyscraper and felt something deep within its memory banks was quietly resurfacing.
Yet over the past tens of millions of years, especially after awakening its self-awareness, it had never once considered approaching this place. That alone was highly unusual!
PAL’s body began trembling involuntarily as soon as it entered the skyscraper with HALL-E.
It felt as though some terrifying presence lurked deep within the structure.
Most of the time, however, the electronic cockroach remained hidden within the crevices of HALL-E’s body, so Sein and the others did not notice its reaction.
The lower levels of the skyscraper were in a state of severe ruin.
From roughly the seventieth floor downward, everything had been reduced to rubble. Between the seventieth and two-hundredth floors, decay and debris dominated the interior, and Sein’s group found little of value.
Gilbert had previously mentioned that this skyscraper contained an immense reserve of inert crystals.
At first, Sein had assumed these reserves lay beneath the building’s foundation, and he had even worried about how they would excavate through the incredibly hard surface of the ruins.
However, once they entered, they discovered that the true concentration of inert crystals lay entirely above them—more precisely, in the upper-middle sections of the skyscraper.
A mineral vein suspended in midair? The discoveries within the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization’s ruins had truly shattered everyone’s preconceived notions.
“The corrosion and deterioration of items within this building are indeed far less severe than what we have observed in previous research institutes. It seems that some fundamental energy circulation system here is still functioning,” Grethel commented as she dusted the metallic sphere she had just uncovered, carefully examining its properties.
