NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 269: 1 The Search That Gained Nothing

Can't understand.

【Every inch of land is worth a lot of money...

No, the value of gold is not comparable to every inch of space here.

Such precious space is just abandoned here.

Similarly, the servers that consumed a lot of resources and manpower to build are just lying there abandoned.

Why exactly? 】

Looking at the long-rotten server, Ye Feng kicked it lightly.

With a crashing sound, the several-meter-high server turned into a pile of debris and collapsed to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.

“It just collapsed!!!”

Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaimed.

10H spoke slowly, "I can't tell the age, but it could be over years old, or even older."

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't make sense to not repair or replace the parts of the artificial human and let it go to waste."

“Fortunately, the ceiling is still solid!” 10H exclaimed.

If there is a problem with the ceiling and supporting columns, the entire base will cease to exist.

After 10H's reminder, Ye Feng looked up.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Time is enough to destroy everything.

"let's go……"

10H’s gentle voice echoed in her ears.

"That's all we can do..."

The two came to the damaged hole. Ye Feng carefully avoided the bent steel bars and rubble and walked onto the two or three meter high concrete.

Look up at the big hole above your head.

"Don't hit your head..."

10H gently smoothed his hair.

He nodded, and his Qi sank into his mechanical Dantian. His calves exerted force instantly, and he leaped four meters into the air, flying over the broken hole.

Land steadily on the upper ground.

Ye Feng, who was about to take action, suddenly realized something.

He raised his head and looked towards the ceiling.

As if he had discovered something, he became aware of it.

He walked to the wall and observed it carefully with the light of the flashlight.

Everything has to be observed mechanically with the naked eye, which is inconvenient without a tactical eyepiece.

“What are you looking for?” 10H asked softly.

Ye Feng showed a meaningful smile.

He kicked hard at a spot on the wall.

There was a loud bang, and a large rectangular hole was kicked out in the wall.

To be precise, it is a doorway.

“Ah… there’s still space in here!” 10H stared at the scene in disbelief.

Through the light of the flashlight, you can clearly see that an iron ladder appears behind the door, leading to the upper level.

"How did you find out?" 10H looked at Ye Feng with admiration, and couldn't help but be more convinced of him.

From the moment they met, she had developed a strange feeling for this man, which became even stronger at this moment.

"The height is wrong!" Ye Feng replied, not noticing at all that there were stars twinkling in the girl's eyes.

"high……"

10H muttered to herself, and suddenly realized the problem.

This hidden layer is only about 7 meters high from the layer below.

However, they walked down from the backup server room on the first floor for about dozens of meters.

The area in the middle will definitely not be empty.

“Do you want to go up?” 10H asked softly.

Come come come.

Ye Feng smacked his lips and decided to go up and take a look, perhaps there would be some new discoveries.

"Moreover, there must be something underneath the plant cabin, work cabin, and core cabin on the upper level."

"So... could you...

Put me down first..."

10H scolded, her tone full of disappointment.

"Oh...I'm sorry."

Ye Feng looked at 10H, who had been carried by him like a princess.

I slowly put her down, feeling reluctant to let her go.

From the moment he caught her, until she jumped up, 10H was held by him the entire time.

Feeling the warmth on his hand, Ye Feng pulled her to the escalator.

"Lady first!"

Ye Feng performed a Western gentleman's salute and invited 10H to go up first.

"Why? Are you going to abandon me?" 10H said coquettishly, "You go first, I'll follow you."

"Um...okay."

Feeling that he seemed to have missed out on 100 million, Ye Feng helplessly put his hand on the ladder and began to climb up.

Climbed up about 8 meters,

at last,

Arrive at this level.

In front of me, there is still a corridor going in the same direction.

However, unlike the two floors below, this floor appears very clean.

Through the weak light of the flashlight, we can clearly see that

Pure white walls, floors and ceilings.

The two walked forward side by side.

Ye Feng pushed open the white door on the right.

This is a computer room where the servers are preserved very intactly.

Sure enough! Hard work pays off.

Ye Feng was secretly delighted and walked quickly to the server in the center of the computer room, trying to hack into it for inspection.

"Wait for me..."

There is a saying,

the more you hope, the harder you fall.

The smile on Ye Feng's face froze, and he slowly put down his hand that was on the server interface.

“What’s wrong?” 10H asked with concern.

Ye Feng raised his head helplessly, slowly stretched out his hand, pointed at the server in front of him, and sighed:

"All memory cells are destroyed..."

“How could this happen?” 10H said in disbelief, and walked forward quickly.

After a careful investigation, she walked towards Ye Feng in disappointment.

Ye Feng, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly thought of something.

There should still be hope!

He took 10H’s hand and quickly ran out the door and into the other rooms.

……

The two figures, accompanied by the light of flashlights, kept shuttling back and forth in the corridor.

Go upstairs and investigate.

Go upstairs again and investigate again.

Go upstairs again and check again.

……

"This is the last floor." 10H said softly. She turned her gaze to Ye Feng and saw a disappointed and discouraged face.

"What I hate most is doing useless work..."

Ye Feng said softly, his breath hanging.

He was in a very low mood now, and for no reason, a wave of sadness came over him.

[Even if it’s just a tiny clue…]

Looking at this cheerful and bright-looking man, 10H was touched.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

She lifted Ye Feng's chin, moved closer to him, and said happily: "You have watched a lot of movies, right? Or, do you know the plots of movies?"

Hearing 10H's question, Ye Feng became puzzled and began to think about 10H's question.

Suddenly, his face became hot.

[Strange! Why is my face blushing? ? ? ]

10H then asked: How are treasure hunting movies usually portrayed?

"what?"

Ye Feng began to search for information and soon made a discovery.

He excitedly grabbed 10H's shoulders and gave her a bear hug, then quickly rushed to the first computer room on the last floor.

10H, who was behind him, blushed and quickly chased after him.

Often, in a movie plot, you keep searching but never find any valuable information.

Then, at the end of the exploration, there will definitely be some discovery.

In fact, in most cases, it is discovered accidentally.

More likely, the protagonists had a dispute and accidentally touched some mechanism, opening a hidden area.
