Chapter 640 Underground Shelter

Just when everyone was about to pass through the door of the hall, the wall closest to them suddenly became brighter, and then a figure appeared on the wall. Hao Ren and the others reacted immediately and looked at the person on the big screen in surprise. It was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a majestic and serious appearance. He was wearing a straight black uniform with gold trim and two rows of golden big shoes. Buttoned all the way down to just below the chin.

The man who appeared on the big screen looked at Hao Ren and his party with some surprise in his eyes: "Why are you outside?"

Hao Ren had already adapted to the deserted ghost town on this planet, but he didn't expect that he suddenly saw a living person on the screen, and he was shocked: "Fuck me... there are still people on this planet. ?!”

"Is there anyone else?" The middle-aged man on the screen was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about? Did you run away from the shelter? Or are you from other areas?"

Vivian reacted immediately and coughed twice: "We...we came from other places. There may be something wrong with the equipment and we got lost here."

She didn't speak clearly. Out of caution, she tried to be vague about the origins of her group. The person on the big screen didn't seem to think much about it. He just nodded: "Very good. It's good to return to the safe area safely. I hope you are not affected by the radiation near the engine. The guidance robot will take you Go to a shelter and a civil investigator will question you later.”

After the words fell, the big screen on the wall dimmed again, and quickly returned to its original appearance on the wall. Hao Ren and the others looked at each other in confusion, always feeling a little strange about this person who suddenly appeared, but they couldn't tell where they felt the violation.

"There are actually people on this planet?" Lily smacked her lips, looking incredulous.

Vivian touched her chin: "According to what the other party said, there seems to be some kind of shelter... I didn't expect there to be survivors!"

Led by the small robot, the group of people passed through the lobby door and entered a long corridor illuminated by red lights. The robot signaled them to go to the opposite side of the corridor to complete the disinfection. Hao Ren murmured in confusion as he walked: "But there's something wrong..."

"There's something wrong," Vivian still remembered what everyone had discussed before. "This planet's original sun erupted ten thousand years ago, but the planet's engine should have started a hundred years ago, so Theoretically, the survivors here should have missed the escape window at that time - since there are people alive, why didn't they set sail 10,000 years ago?! Did they sleep next to the cooled star for 10,000 years before?"

Lily immediately curled her lips and said, "Do you think everyone else sleeps like you and risk their lives?"

This husky really never forgets to quarrel with his enemy even in his busy schedule.

Nangong Wuyue had a complicated look on her face, with a bit of expectation and a bit of fear: "Are my parents in that shelter?"

Hao Ren immediately reacted: "Yes! Since there is a shelter here, Nangong and his wife were probably taken in, just like us!"

Everyone felt that it made sense when they thought about it, and they immediately speeded up and walked through the corridor. There was another guidance robot waiting for them at the end of the corridor. The small robot opened the semicircular gate at the front of the corridor, and a special small room appeared in front of everyone.

The small room was empty and nothing else could be seen. There was only a large column in the center. On the front of the column was a translucent glass door, and a lift-like device could be seen inside - it seemed that the shelter was underground.

In order to get to the shelter smoothly, Hao Ren and the others were very cooperative at this time, watching quietly as the little robot opened the elevator door and motioned for everyone to enter. When everyone stepped onto the elevator platform, Hao Ren suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.

It was a long sea serpent's tail—May's.

"Wait a minute," Hao Ren's mind suddenly stirred, "Yuyue, have you been maintaining this form just now?"

May moved her tail for no apparent reason, trying to get herself into a more comfortable position (a narrow place like the elevator was a bit cramped for her big body, but she had no chance to change into other forms just now): " Yes, what’s wrong?”

"...The uncle on the screen just now didn't seem to be interested in your appearance at all," Lily realized at this time. She even touched her ears and tail, "Also, there is my appearance..."

Wuyue immediately coiled her tail tightly into a ball, and she became nervous: "Could it be a trap?!"

At this time, the elevator door had closed, and the entire platform began to accelerate downward toward the ground. Hao Ren glanced at the metal frame and mechanical layer that were flashing outside, and gritted his teeth: "Whatever, let's see what the situation is. Everyone will be more vigilant later, but don't act rashly unless there is an emergency."

Lily nodded vigorously and pulled out her ice and fire claws: "Don't worry, landlord, I will protect you!"

Vivian pushed the husky aside hard: "You idiot, put your claws away quickly! This is the elevator...hey, my clothes! I only have two good clothes!"

"Can't you two live in peace in this situation?" Hao Ren sometimes really couldn't do anything about these two enemies, so he could only lean aside for some peace and quiet. And Yzaks looked down at the ground of the elevator platform: The ground was inlaid with decorative transparent glass, and the situation below could be seen. Now he could only see a faint light coming from the bottom of the extremely deep shaft. : "It seems that the shelter is located very deep underground."

"Perhaps it is to maintain the ecosystem with the help of geothermal heat," Hao Ren recalled the bit of professional knowledge in his mind, "a shelter solution commonly used by low-tech civilizations."

This deep shaft seemed to have no end. Everyone in the elevator waited nervously, vigilantly, or expectantly for a long time without reaching the end. Anyway, Lily's seriousness only lasted for five minutes and she couldn't hold on any longer. She simply squatted down on the ground and started scratching the floor. When she drew the third simple drawing of a puppy on the floor, everyone finally felt that the whole car was slightly soft. There was a shock, and the sound of a mechanical device locking came from outside.

Yzaks looked up and said: "At least dozens of kilometers away... I'm afraid it's just like what you said. They are using underground magma to maintain the heat of the shelter."

With a soft sound of "chichi", the elevator door slid open to both sides. Nangong Sanba immediately threw a small piece of rune paper outside. The paper turned into a human shadow and walked a few steps outside. , but it did not trigger any traps or anything like that. Then he raised his crossbow and walked out cautiously: "Safe, follow."

"Your brother is quite reliable sometimes." Vivian said casually to May.

Wuyue curled her lips: "If he didn't even have this little hunter skill, he would have died in an unknown castle long ago... Wow!"

May's words were interrupted by her own exclamation. Everyone came out of the elevator and were stunned by the scene outside!

What I saw outside the elevator was not the low and cramped steel shelter I imagined, nor could I see the narrow living cabins stacked up one after another like prisons. There was actually a huge city outside!

I saw neat and wide roads extending in front of me, tall buildings arranged in an orderly manner, and lush plants and decorative artificial landscapes can be seen between the buildings. Hao Ren looked back and found that the elevator passage that everyone came on was actually a huge pillar in the city. This pillar was in the center of a square formed by the intersection of several roads. And far away, he I also vaguely saw other similar pillars.

It appears there is more than one entrance to the sanctuary.

Lily opened her mouth and stared for a long time before she could hold back a sentence: "...As a shelter, this place is really exaggerated."

Yzaks looked up and looked directly above. The city was not dark. On the contrary, it was as bright as day under the large amount of lights from above. Yzaks squinted his eyes and saw the rough rock ceiling and the huge steel support structure through the gaps in the "light network" that simulated skylight: "There are rock formations above... This is a huge cave, and I don't know if it is artificial. What was dug out was that this planet was born with such a structure.”

Vivian immediately looked up and stared at the rock tops above, stunned, and muttered: "Caves..."

Hao Ren subconsciously replied: "You don't plan to hang upside down for a while."

Vivian reacted quickly and shook her head vigorously: "It's okay, I can control it!"

Lily looked away: "Hey, bat."
