The Hive Station is underground, with a total of twenty-seven channels. Only No.1 Channel leads to the main area. Normally, you enter through a certain numbered channel and must follow the sequence from largest to smallest before reaching No.1 Channel to access the main area.
For instance, if you enter through No.9 and want to reach No.1 Channel, you need to pass through No.8 to No.2 Channels in sequence; missing one will prevent you from reaching No.1.
This was part of the protective design for the main area when the Hive Station was originally built. However, during the initial design, due to concerns about unforeseen circumstances in the future, a contingency plan was included.
The contingency involves channels No.7, No.11, No.18, and No.21, which actually intersect with No.1 Channel underground.
As long as the intersections are cleared, you can rush to No.1 Channel and then proceed to the main area in the fastest possible time.
