Chapter 250: The First Observation Station, the Roaring Moon Attacks at Night
Walking in the high-tech building, Luo Mu thought that the inside was quite realistic and not as old as the outside.

The staff inside were even busier, and everywhere I looked, I saw people staring at the screen in front of them, trying to establish communication with those below.

Qing Mu reminded Luo Mu: "Let's go, take the elevator down, and the space below will lead us into the Padiya Pit."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and followed Qingmu into the elevator, coming to a closed room with a metal door.

Aoki took out a pass card from the collar of his suit and stuck it on the authentication machine next to him.

With a beep, a mechanically synthesized electronic sound rang out in the room.

[Aoki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia Alliance, has been identified. The gate is lowered and opened. I wish you all good luck in fighting.]

Along with the sound of precise mechanical movements, the metal door that blocked the view opened, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in. In the whistling airflow, a cloud of mist covered the entire giant pit, making it impossible to see the appearance below.

The towering mountains shrouded in clouds and mist are like the entrance to a mysterious world, which makes people feel awe.

The sea of ​​clouds is like a layer of gauze, lightly covering the mountain peaks, adding a sense of mystery to them.

Anyone would feel nervous when exploring a giant pit for the first time, as the unknown is the most terrifying thing. Luo Mu knew that below the sea of ​​clouds was a terrifying height that seemed to lead to the underground world, and if one accidentally fell down, one would be crushed to pieces.

Luo Mu and Qing Mu looked at each other, then they rode on Dragonite and Tropico respectively, and said at the same time, "Let's go."

Hearing this, Dragonite and Dragonite flapped their wings, accelerated their runs, and leapt into the sea of ​​clouds.

The tropical dragon had brought Aoki to the Padya Pit several times and was not afraid of the unknown below.

Dragonite can easily conquer even the terrifying thunderstorm, and the thick clouds and fog are not enough to destroy its psychological defenses.

The two Pokémon chose to descend at high speed at the same time. Luo Mu hugged Dragonite tightly, with the whistling air passing by his ears and the hem of his clothes rustling in the strong wind.

Gradually, the descent speed slowed down.

Luo Mu opened his eyes and saw a stunning scenery.

The vast land was covered with lush green vegetation, and the complex environment turned into continuous valleys, dotted with bright crystal light. Luo Mu knew that it was the brilliance of Taijing.

I'm afraid the source of Taijing is somewhere in this Padia Crater.

Because the two entered Area Zero at nearly night, there was not the sacred feeling of sunlight shining through thick clouds in the game. The environment of the entire Area Zero could be said to be dark and terrifying, and from time to time the cries of unknown creatures could be heard in this isolated space.

Dragonite and Tropical Dragonite landed smoothly on the top cliff of Area Zero, surrounded by buildings with the Padya Alliance logo.

Luo Mu judged that this should be the original camp.

After petting Dragonite and Tropico, the two put them back into the Poké Ball.

Although the overall terrain of Area Zero is as complex as a spiral staircase, it seems that one can descend from the center directly to the large cavity at the bottom.

In fact, if you do that, you will face attacks from all the wild Pokémon around you, and no one can guarantee that they can remain intact under such an attack.

Qingmu was still wearing his suit, with his sleeves slightly rolled up. He took out two flashlights from his bracelet-like space equipment and handed one to Luo Mu. Qingmu said in a deep voice, "Is it okay to travel at night?"

Luo Mu took the flashlight and said with a smile: "Staying up late? I'm good at this!"

The strength of the two is already among the top in the Padia Alliance. Normal exploration is definitely the safest, and they can rest at night. But now is an emergency period, and everything needs to happen against time.

It can be said that the faster we get down there, the more secure the safety of the two doctors and researchers will be.

Of course, it would be even better if everything was a mistake.

They both flipped their wrists and released their Pokémon in sync.

"Monarch snake!" "Flower bird!"

Walking in the dark in a dangerous environment always makes people nervous and tense.

You must be careful about possible attacks from the dark, and also be careful not to accidentally step on empty air, so as not to fall into an irretrievable situation.

The light of a flashlight is undoubtedly the best guiding light at night and can bring people a sense of security.

But in contrast to this sense of security, lights can also bring crises.

Snap——!
Dazzling lightning lit up on the upper ramp of Area Zero. Under Aoki's command, the light yellow-colored, flapping-style flower-dancing birds, waving their fluffy tufts of feathers, danced an intense dance of awakening, and intense electric currents bombarded a group of Moru moths.

The monarch snake raised its proud head, and several thick plants broke out of the ground, dancing wildly like a wooden dragon. The powerful attack caused large numbers of moths to fall.

The fierce battle lasted for about ten minutes. Luo Mu and Qingmu, standing back to back, looked at the groups of moths lying on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, on the way to the first observation station, the light of the flashlight directly attracted a group of moths to attack them.

The Pokémon that live in Area Zero all year round all possess impressive strength. Pokémon without strength here have only one fate - being eaten.

This topic is very naked and bloody, but in Zone Zero, the law of the jungle is the supreme law.

Fortunately, Luo Mu and Qing Mu were present. Faced with the siege of hundreds of moths, the monarch snakes and flower dancing birds could solve the problem with some effort.

If it were someone else, the outcome would be unknown.

Aoki patted his suit which was stained with dust from the battle. He looked indifferent, with a calmness that showed one could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him.

As a top-level worker, you must have the ability to handle various emergencies.

After defeating the Mormoths, the road leading to the 1st Observation Station became clear. The 1st Observation Station was set up in a relatively safe location. There were not many wild Pokémon wandering around. Apart from a few wild Pokémon blocking the road, there were no other problems along the way.

According to the mechanical watch worn on Aoki's right hand, the two successfully arrived at the first observation station at twelve o'clock in the morning.

"There has been no one here for a while."

Luo Mu put his fingers against the gate of the No. 1 Observation Station. Under the light of the flashlight, he could see that his fingers were covered with thick dust.

Aoki nodded and opened the door of the observatory directly.

The original intention of establishing the observatory was to provide explorers with a slightly safer place to stay, so naturally there was no password.

The moment the door opens, soft lights come on, and the interior of the observatory comes into view.

The room was hexagonal in shape, with three huge blue tanks in the center, which should be the energy supplying the basic equipment of the observatory. Several single beds were placed side by side in a corner of the observatory, with no obvious books or paper materials left, which should have been moved downwards as the exploration progressed.

Luo Mu and Qing Mu walked into the observation station one after another, followed by the monarch snake and the flower dancing bird.

The monarch snake, which was winding forward, suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the flower dancing bird beside it. It was not obvious in the darkness just now, but under the bright light, the flower dancing bird's slightly trembling body and the purple color on its skin were very conspicuous.

The monarch snake instantly determined that the flower dancing bird might have accidentally inhaled the poisonous powder spread by the moth during the previous battle and was poisoned.

Luo Mu and Qingmu also noticed that something was wrong with Hua Wu Niao and quickly surrounded her.

"More than a mile."

Huawu Bird let out a slightly weak cry in Aoki's arms.

The voice was full of guilt. Hua Wuniao felt that because of her carelessness, her progress might be delayed.

"It's okay. I brought the antidote. You'll be well again soon."

When facing his Pokémon, Aoki showed a completely different side of himself. His decadent look disappeared, and his calm voice seemed to carry a magical power that made people and Pokémon trust him unconsciously, while his expression was so focused and gentle.

Although the progress will be affected, in Aoki's opinion, healing his own Pokémon is more important.

Qingmu was about to take out the prepared antidote from the space bracelet, but Luo Mu stopped him with his hand. Seeing Qingmu's puzzled expression, Luo Mu smiled and said, "Leave it to me. The poison powder of the moth is not very strong. It will be cured in less than a minute."

"Now you can try to contact below through the communication equipment in the observatory."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Mu turned his wrist holding the Poké Ball, and the figure of Flower Therapy Huanhuan appeared.

"Ring~"

Seeing her fellow villager being poisoned, Hua Therapy Huanhuan shook the wreath, and the fresh floral fragrance spread. The condition of Hua Wu Niao was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Flower therapy ring with aromatherapy and therapeutic expertise."

Aoki was dazed for a moment. He didn't expect that Luo Mu was so well prepared.

With his mind focused, Aoki handed the flower dancing bird to Luo Mu and Hualiao Huanhuan for treatment, then stood up and walked to the communication equipment of the observatory.

Hanabu's treatment and Aoki's communication with the observatory below both failed quickly.

Originally, Aoki and Luo Mu thought that since they couldn't contact the observatory from above, they would try to communicate between the observatory stations in Zone Zero.

However, both the 2nd Observation Station, the 3rd Observation Station, and the 4th Observation Station are disconnected.

As expected, we still have to keep moving forward.

Seeing that Hua Wu Niao was alive and kicking again after being treated by the flower therapy ring, the two of them discussed it and decided that even though they had only stayed at the first observation station for less than twenty minutes, they still had to continue exploring downwards.

Perhaps while they were resting, someone below was facing a mortal danger.

At two o'clock in the morning, as time passed, the clouds covering the giant pit seemed to have thinned a lot, and the bright moonlight shone through the thin clouds, adding a touch of light to the dark environment and improving visibility a lot.

At least I can see the surrounding environment clearly without using a flashlight.

Of course, a flashlight is still needed to illuminate places that are a little further away.

Aoki lowered his voice and reminded: "The number of caves around us is gradually increasing. Be careful of wild Pokémon that suddenly appear from them."

Luo Mu nodded slightly, slowed down his pace, and signaled with his eyes that the monarch snake should be alert to the surrounding environment.

The Sentinel has excellent perception and extremely sophisticated energy control skills. As long as there are wild Pokémon in the cave that are planning to launch a sneak attack, the Sentinel will detect it and stop it first.

"Quack~quack~quack~"

After walking for another ten minutes, they heard a series of hoarse cries from the distant sky. Luo Mu, who had dealt with those Pokémon not long ago, knew that these were most likely the cries of Blue Jays or their evolved form, Steelix.

If the Steelix used this sound in a residential area, it would only make people feel that it was disturbing others, but in an environment like Area Zero where dangers abound, it would be a bit creepy.

A ripple appeared in Qingmu's calm eyes, as if to relieve his tension, or to suppress his sleepiness. He started a conversation with Luo Mu: "Have you read the Book of Red and the Book of Purple?"

Luo Mu said without even turning his head: "I have seen it."

Aoki asked, "What do you think of the articles about the monsters in Area Zero?"

Luo Mu paused. The monster in Area 0 should be
Qing Mu didn't care about Luo Mu's answer, and just continued to talk: "If possible, I would like to stay away from the Padiya Giant Pit. Do you know why President Ye Ci arranged me to stay in the Jinhui Town Gym?"

"The monsters in Area Zero are real. So, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I was assigned to Jinhui Town to prevent those monsters from leaving the Padiya Pit."

Aoki's voice was inexplicably low. He straightened his back and looked up at the sky, pointing his finger somewhere. A huge bird covered in black armor was flying in the air. Under the moonlight, its body, which was so black that it could almost reflect light, was clearly visible.

Luo Mu could see that the Steel Armored Crow was inexplicably flustered.

From the perspective of the two, a dark shadow that seemed to be able to block out the moonlight fell above the Steel Crow that made a panicked cry.

The creature that brought the shadow moved extremely quickly. A blood-red crescent moon passed across the sky, and along with the screams of the Steel Crow, scarlet blood dripped onto the grass beside the two.

The highly defensive armor of Steel Crow was like paper in front of the terrifying beast. As its sharp and ferocious blue claws swung, deep scars were engraved on Steel Crow's body.

The Steel Crow let out a miserable scream and fell down like a kite with a broken string. Coincidentally, it just fell on the grass not far from Luo Mu and Aoki.

On the left is the Steelix that is struggling to get up and escape, and above its head is a pair of crescent-shaped scarlet dragon wings that seem to be able to cover the sky and the sun.

".When I get back, I must ask President Ye Ci to pay me overtime pay and mental damages."

Aoki sighed and clenched the Poké Ball in his hand.

While Luo Mu and the monarch snake were looking up at the sky, an evil dragon that seemed to have come from the ancient wilderness was staring at them.

The scarlet dragon's eyes were filled with brutal murderous intent, and its huge and strong body came roaring, bringing with it a series of eardrum-shaking roars.

Luo Mu knew its name very well.

The paradoxical Pokémon, the terrifying ancient predator - Roaring Moon.
