The entire right-side space has been opened up, just like the outside. In front are small toilet cubicles, and behind is a vertical structure resembling a skylight, with the two separated by some unknown material.
However, this time only the back is the kind of airtight, opaque partition; the area below the toilet has changed.
The floor was double-layered; the top layer had sparse holes, while the bottom layer was made of a dense, special material.
The outermost part of the floor connects to the courtyard. Air circulates through the gaps between the floorboards. Shen Muyu peered through the gaps but couldn't see the end. This base was too deep; her superpower limit was not the limit of this base.
"Wait, that's not right. The ventilation only happens in the bathroom. What about the outside space?" Shen Muyu tried to extend her senses along the gap in the floor, but no matter what she did, she was confined to that area and couldn't get out.
"Never mind, now's not the time to solve the mystery." Shen Muyu had searched the entire space but hadn't found any survivors. In order to save time, she sent Xiao A back into the elevator.
Shen Muyu didn't know if it would count as a mission failure if the trapped person died before she found them, so she still had to get them back as soon as possible and hoped they could hold on.
Just as the elevator doors were closing, Shen Muyu inside was unaware that the dark brown liquid in the lobby was slowly coalescing into an irregular semicircle.
It slowly glided along the path that Shen Muyu's car had just taken and stopped where the car had been.
As if recalling something, the liquid remained still for a long time. Then, as if remembering something, it surged out and an ID card was ejected. A small section of viscous liquid extended from the ID card and stuck to the sensor area.
However, this might not be the cardholder's room, so the door wasn't opened.
It couldn't tell what emotions it had, but it just kept producing another card, trying again and again, like a child imitating someone's actions, determined to open the door before it would stop.
Slowly and steadily, the dark brown liquid mass absorbed the liquid on the ground while trying to open each door.
When I finally reached the toilet door, it had doubled in size.
The cards for this restroom should be universal; the liquid ball only needed to put in a work ID card and the door opened.
This time, instead of following Shen Muyu's order, it changed its body and squeezed into the bathroom.
It slowly unfolded its semi-circular body, and just like before, the liquid slowly leaked down through the sparse holes that were invisible to the naked eye, gradually clogging the interlayer completely.
After all the dark brown liquid had leaked out, it began to gush and slide towards the courtyard, where it was also intercepted by sparse holes, but it appeared in the courtyard in the exact same way.
Next came the difficult climb.
This whole process took a very, very long time.
...
Rewinding to the beginning, Shen Muyu, who had just entered the elevator, was unaware of the situation on the first basement level. To keep things moving, she proceeded to the second basement level in order.
This place is quite different from the basement level. There are many separate, opaque rooms in front of you, and the roads leading in all directions are only wide enough for Shen Muyu's car to drive very close to it, with occasional friction sounds coming from all directions.
Because the doors here all have an automatic closing function, Shen Muyu had to search each room one by one, which undoubtedly increased his workload.
However, here Shen Muyu encountered the little guy he had been longing to free his hands from, the one he had been thinking about day and night.
"Household robot!!!" Upon seeing the robot that had stopped on the road and seemed to be frozen, Shen Muyu immediately sent it an appraisal, followed by a burst of exclamations.
This time, the light screen finally worked, showing the robot's purpose.
Status: The chip has been severely damaged and is now unusable.
Shen Muyu was stunned when she saw this, but she didn't care. She was a woman with a complete guide to home appliance repair skills. Who said that a housekeeping robot wasn't a home appliance!
Besides, she still has the red backpack; maybe a little boost will fix it, but that's assuming she can actually store it.
"Zhan Yi, try to see if you can put this robot into your backpack. It might just be your future wife, so you have to be serious." To ease his tension, Shen Muyu teased Zhan Yi.
However, Zhan Yi didn't say anything, but opened the car window to test it after getting close to the housekeeping robot.
Swish~
The housekeeping robot that was blocking the way suddenly disappeared from its spot. Shen Muyu clenched his fist and swung it. This housekeeping robot is awesome!
