Chapter 150 Skyscraper

The fat man crossed the crack and was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

Derrick, Zoey, and Jennifer, who climbed in afterward, were equally stunned by the sight.

"Cyberpunk..." Zoey exclaimed.

Before them was a skyscraper full of technological feel, as if it only existed in science fiction movies. It was impossible to determine how tall the building was just by looking at it.

The skyscraper had a variety of visual impact effects, with purple, green, blue, and red neon lights decorating the black building.

Surrounding the building were various other unknown buildings, much smaller in shape and scale than the skyscraper. However, with the fat man and his team’s level of knowledge, they couldn’t determine the function of these buildings.

"What is cyberpunk?" the fat man asked Zoey.

Zoey replied, "It's a kind of fantasy of a future civilization of 'high-end technology, low-end life.' The term 'cyberpunk' originated in the new science fiction wave movement that arose in the 1960s and 1970s."

The fat man thought that Zoey's explanation was meaningless. He only understood the phrase "high-end technology" from these strange terms.

The skyscraper in front of him was completely different from skyscrapers in real life. Its design and architectural style were out of step with modern society.

Moreover, the materials used to build the building, the technology applied, and the overall appearance did not seem to be products of modern society.

The fat man had not read the cyberpunk science fiction novels that Zoey mentioned, so he could only simply understand it as future technology.

In the face of unknown things, everyone felt unsure. If this was a more advanced future civilization, then they would be in a very passive situation.

While the fat man and the others were thinking, Dodge finally slowly crawled into the wall from the crack.

The next second after Dodge crawled into the wall, the crack in the wall suddenly began to repair itself. The crack quickly shrunk and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Through the wall, everyone saw that the green fluorescent dot matrix outside was still overwhelmingly attacking the transparent wall, and the range of the dot matrix had further expanded.

Everyone's palms were sweating.

If it hadn't been for the fat man's decisive decision to let everyone climb in just now, they would have been swallowed up by the spreading green fluorescent dot matrix, ignited, and burned to ashes.

The fat man's correct decision won the trust of Dodge, Derrick, and the military doctor's assistant. The three of them, along with Zoey and Jennifer, turned their attention to the fat man, waiting for his next instructions.

The fat man would inevitably not let everyone down. At this time, he was overwhelmed with troubles, scratching his head and thinking about a plan of action.

While the fat man was thinking, a burst of noise came from the skyscraper.

They quickly hid behind an inconspicuous building in a blind spot.

After a while, two people came out of the skyscraper and walked straight to the wall where the crack had just appeared. The two looked very much like primitive people from a tribe. They had dark skin, curly hair, and were completely naked, without tattoos, decorations, or even pieces of cloth or leaves to cover their private parts.

The two were carrying a very strange device that looked like a cannon barrel. They directly pushed one end of the "cannon barrel" against the wall impacted by the fluorescent dot matrix and performed a series of operations on the cannon barrel.

The frantically restless fluorescent dots on the other side of the wall suddenly quieted down. The dot matrix gradually moved away from the wall and returned to its original orderly appearance, just like what the fat man and the others had seen at the beginning.

Soon after returning to order, the faint green light of the dot matrix disappeared.

Seeing that the dot matrix had returned to normal, the two returned to the skyscraper carrying the cannon barrel.

"Damn, this dot matrix can actually not emit light," the fat man exclaimed.

"If we accidentally enter the dot matrix when we can't see it during the day, then we are very likely to die here," Derrick said with lingering fear.

"What were those two people just now?" Zoey asked.

Everyone had no clue and said they didn't know, but judging from the appearance of these two people, they should be primitive people who retained some tribal habits.

What formed a sharp contrast with the primitive people was the cannon barrel in their hands.

High-tech and low-life feeling made the fat man roughly understand the meaning of cyberpunk that Zoey said.

The fat man suddenly thought of something. He asked Derrick to take out all the electronic devices to check their working status.

As expected, all electronic devices, including compasses, flashlights, and locators, had failed.

Seeing this scene, Zoey and Jennifer's hearts also sank.

The fat man exchanged a look with Zoey and Jennifer, and the three understood each other - the meteorite was in this closed space.

The fat man was afraid of causing a commotion in the team, so he didn't point it out.

"Let's look around for an exit, and leave here first."

The fat man thought that this place was not suitable to stay for long, so he suggested to everyone.

Everyone searched for an exit along the edge of the transparent wall. The wall was smooth, flat, intact, and even the wall with the hole was as clean as new. They walked around the wall and couldn't find an exit.

Obviously, this space was closed, with no exit at all.

"Fat Brother, do you think that 'cannon barrel' they were holding just now might be the key to finding our exit?" Jennifer reminded.

The fat man nodded and replied, "Very likely."

Everyone's eyes turned to the skyscraper.

The next goal, without the fat man having to say more, was to find the cannon barrel and open a way out.
