Chapter 185: The Rebels' Victory
"..." Artyom was silent for a moment. For a split second, he wanted to call the gatekeeper.
Since the gatekeeper is the ancient god that the other party fears, we will definitely be able to find out more.
But after thinking it over carefully, he still didn't do it.
According to the other party, since the Nayis can travel through time and space, this mechanical body, as their creation, may also have some kind of trump card.
If we scare this guy away, we won't be able to get any information.
Extinguishing his thoughts, Artyom looked deep into the passage and turned the searchlight on the front armor of his power armor to maximum power to dispel the deep darkness in the depths of the passage.
The underground passage is so long that two cars can pass side by side. The walls and ceiling are covered with thick frost, like the inside of a refrigerator that has not been cleaned for a long time.
The curator moved his mechanical feet, tapping them regularly on the frost-covered floor, all the way to the deepest part of the passage.
Artyom followed immediately, and after checking the action recorder of the power armor, he turned his attention to the scenes along the way.
Passing through a downward passage, inside the underground facilities of the United Government, events from hundreds of years ago are preserved in ice.
A soldier with a red exoskeleton and a red iron fist badge on his shoulder is exchanging fire with United Government soldiers wearing black exoskeletons under the cover of an armored vehicle!
Some ice blocks retain the images of soldiers falling to the ground after being shot, and the images of armored vehicles having their armor knocked open by rockets.
But it's all frozen.
The icicles rising from the ground froze the flying bullets, the shells fired by armored vehicles, and the drones flying through the air!
The curator walked gracefully among them, even reaching out to touch an armor-piercing shell that was frozen in mid-air by an icicle.
Then he introduced it proudly.
"You are the first person to visit this museum since its trial opening. I would like to hear your opinion."
Looking at the frozen battlefield, Artyom took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
The battlefield in front of him was so lifelike, as if a thousand-man battle between the Earth United Government Army and the rebels was frozen and stored here.
It was so real that he even suspected that what was frozen in the ice was something like a wax figure.
Artyom couldn't help but ask.
"Is that a wax figure or something like that inside?"
The curator laughed.
"Hahaha, how could we possibly use something fake like that? Of course we'd use the real thing."
Artyom frowned and couldn't help but look at a soldier wearing an exoskeleton and holding a machine gun, who was hysterically pouring fire on the rebels.
He hadn't been shot, at least not yet.
Or are the living people frozen?
The curator seemed to see what he was thinking and interrupted.
"This is part of the contract between us and them. If you are willing, you can accept these people who have been unfrozen after the closure."
Therefore, Artyom was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at all the ice sculptures in the field.
This means these people are alive!
That Yis man used some unknown technology to freeze everyone!
He let out a breath and his voice lowered a few notes.
"What a generous gesture."
"Would you like to continue the tour?" the curator responded slowly, then moved his mechanical feet and passed through the battlefield.
"Of course." Artyom suppressed the thought in his mind.
The situation here should be judged by the top management of the Mutual Aid Association. What I have to do now is to collect information, collect as much information as possible!
He followed immediately.
As he continued to go underground in the facility, the truth, composed of scenes of frozen battlefield, was revealed before Artyom's eyes as the curtain was pulled back.
With the continuous fighting between the rebels and the coalition government forces, coupled with generations of high-pressure work, the flames of the major underground cities have become increasingly fierce.
Marches, strikes, and sabotage are common in major underground cities. More and more people no longer trust the coalition government and choose to join the rebels.
The situation is getting worse.
Many dungeons declared uprising and joined the rebel camp to overthrow the coalition government.
The rebel forces advanced triumphantly and conquered the steering engine located at the earth's equator.
Using the steering engine as a base, they headed towards the United Government headquarters and main propulsion engine located on the back of the Earth.
The top leaders of the United Government used the greatest deterrent and remotely detonated the planetary engine above the destroyed Hangzhou underground city to demonstrate deterrence and order the rebels to stop advancing.
Artyom looked at the director in confusion.
The curator pointed to the depths of the underground facility, where there was a wheelchair with an alarm on it and a detonator connected to a life monitoring device.
He said with emotion.
"Although Earth civilization may seem to us to be nothing more than a bunch of bugs, there are still capable individuals among them."
"That high-ranking member of the United Government, hold the detonator tightly to intimidate the rebels. Whether they actively press the button or their heart stops functioning, the planetary engines around the world will be overloaded and detonated!"
"You don't understand?" Turning around, the curator's facial mechanical structure formed a smile.
Artyom nodded.
The curator raised one of his mechanical feet and pointed toward the ceiling.
"That's the direction of this civilization's sun. The top leaders of the United Government hope to delay Earth so it can escape the solar system and wait for the helium flash to arrive."
Hearing this, Artyom couldn't help but look at the wheelchair again.
In addition to the monitoring equipment, there are buckets of purified water, compressed dry food and dried earthworms near the wheelchair, as well as a urinary catheter, etc.
He couldn't help but be in awe.
Taking a deep breath, Artyom looked at the director again.
"and after?"
The curator laughed.
"Like most other bugs in the universe, Earth's bugs also have many factions, called digital life factions, who have long since buried their methods deep within the headquarters building."
"The coalition government's rule was overthrown in one fell swoop!"
"Deterrence failed!"
Artyom suddenly realized that it was connected, everything was connected.
Due to the failure of deterrence, the coalition government's military and civilians, whose morale was already unstable, turned to the rebels on a large scale.
The propulsion engine and the underground city beneath it changed hands one after another, and finally those who were loyal to the United Government were driven to the square in front of the United Government headquarters.
It is almost conceivable that the rebels drove thousands of people loyal to the United Government onto the ice field and froze them to death, committing crimes against humanity and deceiving all humanity.
Thinking of this, Artyom looked at the wheelchair and clenched his fists.
The president said a helium flash was inevitable, and the last coalition government troops had lived up to their responsibilities, but what about the rebels...
What would they look like when they saw the helium flash when they were jubilantly celebrating the overthrow of the United Government forces and decided to return to the solar system?
He couldn't help but look at the curator.
