Chapter 1950 The key is obtained
The ecology in the fortress was a little confusing. It was different from what Alyssa had seen before.

As mentioned before, Alyssa had seen a crashed starship and after a long time without rescue, the descendants on the starship gradually turned against their ancient ways and became a group of savages who worshipped the reactor as a god.

When Alyssa saw Kevin’s tribe at first, she wasn’t surprised at all, after all, she had experience with this kind of thing.

But when Alyssa saw this well-developed town, she couldn’t understand: Is there no communication between you and those savages?

Logically speaking, it is not isolated in the physical sense and will definitely slowly affect the surrounding areas, but the results are clear-cut.

Along the way, it seems that the previous village was in the barbaric era of eating raw meat and drinking blood, while the next village not far away has actually evolved to the Middle Ages, and they still coexist.

Alyssa looked at the red robe worn by the man who led her. Could it be that these people were the descendants of the Glowing Ion Yin Order, and those savages were brought here through the portal?
While thinking about these things, as Alyssa and the others came down from the higher city gate and onto the street, people began to peek out from the two-story houses on both sides.

It seemed that they had just received the news and began to surround Alyssa and the others.

This group of people was much better than the savages in terms of attire and mental outlook. At least they looked like human beings. However, they seemed very superstitious. Wherever Alyssa and her group went, there would be a group of people bowing down to them, even the children were no exception.

To be honest, this feeling is indeed a bit secretly refreshing.

The soldier who was in charge of leading the way just now became a security guard to maintain public order, separating the crowd who tried to squeeze in. He might be afraid of bumping into the Savior, or he might be afraid that Sista, who was following behind Alyssa, would get angry.

As I said just now, this town is not big and cannot even be called a city. Looking from the city gate, the population is less than 10,000 people at most.

So the street was not actually too long, and Alyssa and the others were soon led to a building that was wrapped very tightly.

It is now difficult to tell what it originally looked like. It is covered with a thick layer of iron sheet, with only a small part of the concrete structure and chemical fiber material exposed.

The part outside where people live and the streets are actually the material storage yard of the foundry, so it is a large flat open space.

Alyssa looked at the map and felt that the thing in front of her should have been the control room of the foundry. As for what it had been transformed into now, she would have to go in to find out.

The door was pushed open from the inside, and a group of guys also in red robes ran out quickly. It felt like these guys might be at the level of city managers.

As soon as they saw Alyssa, they were also excited and burst into tears. I don’t know if she was pretending, but her acting was very good.

“The savior has finally come. I knew the prophecy wouldn’t lie to us!”

Then the group of people made loud calls, which surprised Alyssa.

Why are you still crowing?

This may be some kind of local prayer, just like the Demon King Cult uses grass and gan as prayers, which is roughly equivalent to Amen and Amitabha.

Alyssa guessed that the red-robed crows were crowing to recreate the sharp sound made by a forging hammer hitting metal, but they just didn’t imitate it very well.

But this is not the point. Alyssa quickly interrupted the group of people crying and asked:
“What’s wrong with your city?”

“Our flame is almost gone.”

Well, let’s just keep repeating the same thing. These guys can obviously speak a common language, so why is it so difficult for them to communicate?

It’s not that they can’t speak, but in their opinion, their problem is that the flame is about to disappear.

Immediately, the group of people in red robes led Alyssa and the others inside.

As expected, this was indeed the control room of the foundry, and Alyssa also found that most of the equipment in the control room was still preserved and had not been dismantled like the previous group of savages.

This is good news. Now we just need to see if there is a terminal with Internet access and put the boot disk on it. Then things will be much easier.

At this time, the group of red-robed men led everyone to the deepest part and opened a door.

The situation behind the door made Alyssa’s eyelids jump slightly.

There were seven or eight people in red robes kneeling on the ground behind the door, but their backs were facing the crowd. Even when there was a sound of the door opening, they did not turn around to look.

What surprised Alyssa was that these red-robed people all carried incense burners, and even when viewed from behind, one could see a lot of signs of mechanized transformation.

These people are from the Glowing Ion Yin Cult.

“Five hundred years have passed since the sage passed away. The sage who taught us knowledge left a prophecy saying that one day the fire of our city will go out, and the world will fall into darkness, but the savior will come at this time.”

One of the red-robed men pointed excitedly at an oil painting on the wall and said:

“Savior, you are finally here!”

The oil painting showed a person wearing protective clothing walking on the surface of a planetary fortress. It was probably a photo that was processed to look like an oil painting.

Alyssa suddenly realized, oh, it turned out to be because of our protective suits?
The protective suits worn by Alyssa and her colleagues are constantly being improved and optimized. They are not as bulky as the space suits on Earth, but at least there is not much difference in appearance and structure.

No wonder he is regarded as the savior.

Alyssa looked down and saw that those members of the Glow Ion Yin Society had already died. At this moment, it was as if their mechanical bodies were welded to the floor, and they still maintained the kneeling posture.

And the direction they worship…

Alyssa looked at the map and found that she was right, heading in the direction of the fortress’s command room.

The people of the Glowing Ion Yin Order were extremely pious, so pious that even Alyssa couldn’t understand why they would dedicate everything they had for a god who might appear at any time.

But even though we may not understand, there is no doubt about the piety of these people.

Alyssa’s eyes continued to scan the room. It must have been cleaned. There was nothing left except the paintings on the wall and the completely mechanized bodies of the members of the Glow Ion Priory.

However, she saw that one of the members of the Glowing Ion Yin Society had a metal cylinder on his waist, about the length of a palm, hung on his waist with a lock.

This made Alyssa’s heart move, and she immediately turned around and said to the red-robed people who brought them here:
“I understand your troubles. We are the people predicted by the sage. Take us to the control room.”

“Control room?”

A group of red-robed men looked at each other, they seemed not to know this name.

“Uh… it’s the place where you can control fire.”

Someone was quick-witted and said:
“You mean the prayer room? Please follow me.”

Alyssa nodded and motioned for you to lead the way, then gently touched Sofia, who was acting as a bodyguard, and pointed to the ground.

The latter understood, and before she had taken a few steps, Alyssa felt Sophia stuffing a metal cylinder into her hand. Her fingers could even feel the tiny cracks on the surface of the cylinder, which was obviously a structure that could be opened and deformed.

Done, got the key.
