Chapter 302 Dungeon (I)

For Feiron, walking in the shadows was a very interesting experience. Even if he had done this more than once, whenever Feiron entered the shadows, it seemed like a fish had entered the water, and seemed extremely comfortable. Walking in the gaps in the shadows, the biting cold wind that was blowing towards him was just a breeze for Feiron. Now, there was another companion beside him.

Lorna, wearing a shadow cloak, held Feiren's hand and walked carefully on this road that looked neither long nor short, neither wide nor narrow, nor narrow, and could not see the past nor the future. However, Lorna was not worried. When she received Feiren's gift of divine power, she also obtained the ability to walk in the shadows, just like Feiren. When slaughtering those mutant monkeys before, Lorna used the power of passing through the shadows, which was also a kind of exercise.

But now, following Feiron's side, Lorna has another completely different feeling...

The slight sense of weightlessness disappeared in an instant. When the two of them stepped on the hard floor again, what appeared before them was still pitch black. The air seemed extremely dull and even had a bit of stench. Normally, such air was not something that humans could breathe at all, but fortunately, Feren and Lorna did not need to breathe in this way. Their bodies were covered by shadows, and the air they breathed also came from the shadow plane, which means that under the isolation of the shadow, they were like dead people in reality. If they wanted to find them through infrared rays, breathing and heartbeat, they could only be futile - this is another reason why Lorna was not discovered by them when she killed those monkeys.

Because they are not in the same world at all.

"Dongdong."

Lorna reached out and gently placed it on the wall not far away. Soon, with a flash of light passing by, the next moment, in the originally pitch-black corridor, white wall lights lit up, dispelling the darkness in front of her. Then, with the slight "buzzing" sound of air, the air that originally floated in front of her, which seemed dim and heavy, gradually began to become fresh.

"The circulation system is fine, no problem."

Since Lorna's manipulation can control the energy network, the network system before the catastrophe is even less problematic for her. In just a moment, Lorna took over the original owner and took control of the here.

"Do you know what this place is for?"

As he opened his mouth to ask, Feren carefully looked at the place where he and Lorna were now. It looked like an underground car, at least from the icons divided on the ground, but there was no car here, and there was some debris next to it, which was covered with a thick layer of dust. However, no blood was seen or corpses were seen around, and nothing was found except those plants that died of watering.

At least from the surface, it seems like this is just a very ordinary underground car.

When she heard Feiren's inquiry, Lorna's eyes looked blankly into the air. After a while, she came to her senses.

"No record was found... Commander, what I have searched here is the only construction log."

“Build log?”

“Yes, the contractor, the construction date, and some architectural records.”

“So, when did this place start to be built?”

Hearing Lorna's answer, Ferren immediately became interested and asked curiously. Lorna looked at her system again before nodding.

“135 years ago.”

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... I really didn't see that this thing has a century of history..."

Feiren couldn't help but whistle, but this was normal. Such a huge underground building complex would definitely not be built overnight. In the first few decades before the Cataclysm, it was obvious that it had started to build here. Later, due to the Cataclysm, the construction here also stopped, until today.

However, looking at the modern architectural style in front of you, it is really difficult for Feilun to associate it with a century of history. After all, in Feilun's memory, that kind of thing should generally be ancient, or at least have a sense of historical era... Well, considering the current situation of the wasteland, it is really quite historical era here.

"Now, how much information can you investigate?"

"It's not a lot... The specific purpose here is unknown, but it should be organized and completed by a huge force, and the reason has not been recorded. The only thing I can investigate at present is that the building complex here has about seven floors..."

“Seventh floor?”

The seventh floor underground is actually not too exaggerated, but considering the area of ​​this dungeon, it is very exaggerated.

Feiron’s first reaction to this is…Is there a hole in the American brain?

Of course, considering the possibility of World War III, it is not a secret that various nuclear powers dig bunkers. But why do you need to dig such a large dungeon under Washington? This is the political center of the United States. To be honest, if a nuclear war breaks out, this is definitely the place where the first round of nuclear bombs is directly washed away by the ground. Building a dungeon here is not a self-inflicted effort? Now nuclear bombs also know that attacking underground targets is the king. If there is a ground drill or something... Haha, isn't this a waste of construction?

As for what secret research base is... in Nevada, it is not the turn of this place. What's more, considering the security, no one will rashly build the secret base for studying aliens in their own political center. That's not big enough.

So, what is it for?

For Feiron, this is really a mystery. According to the information currently under investigation by Lorna, the dungeon is still in the stage of "unfinished houses". To put it bluntly, it is being renovated, but it has not yet reached the point where people move in with their luggage. The computer network here stores more information about project progress. Although it also involves a lot of top-secret materials and other things, Feiron is a doctor and not a scientist, so it is naturally impossible to see any clues from these materials.

But in Feiren's opinion, it doesn't seem like the top secret facility. The reason is very simple. If it is really a top secret facility, there is no need to build such a large scale. Such a large-scale dungeon will definitely require a lot of people. But in this way, keeping confidentiality is basically a dream. Even if there is no energy network before the catastrophe and there are too many people, who knows when something will be revealed.

"The overall building is complete, and there are some landslides... Maybe it's because of disrepair..."

Through the information obtained by Lorna, Feiren just glanced at it for a few hastily, but looking at the modern decoration in front of him, he always felt that this "disrepair in the past" was really unmatched.

“Is there no sign of life?”

"No, so far, no signs of life have been found in the first three layers. But the following... is hard to say, my induction seems to be disturbed..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Faren nodded.

"Anyway, let's go to the core area here first... Do you know where it is?"

"From the map, it's about the fifth floor underground."

Of course, it is impossible for people to walk on such a big dungeon. According to the architectural diagrams found by Lorna, they can take the underground tram from the platform not far from the underground bus, then go to the third floor, and then change it to the fifth floor... It is not a secret base, but it is so tight that it is no one else.

While heading to the station, Feilun also went to several rooms around for exploration. Sure enough, most of these rooms were just renovated and there was no time to even place the furniture. They just put some alloy-made tables and chairs in routine, which looked like a research institution, not a place of life and shelter. Not only that, Feilun also noticed that there were used coffee cups and straw paper with messy notes on several tables. Along the way, the two saw no signs of fighting, and no bodies or blood were found. It was as if the people here just left very ordinaryly and there was no accident at all.

But this is unscientific.

Feilun knew very well that there was no warning about the catastrophe. He originally thought that he would see many corpses here. It was more reasonable than this. For example, these people were working here, but they lost contact with the outside world because of the catastrophe. Then they tried to survive here, but for some reasons, they began to kill each other and eventually died... Although it was more dramatic, in the wasteland of the apocalypse, the scenes that were often seen in movies are easier to see in reality.

The underground station is much closer than I thought. It seems that the designers here do consider transportation issues. However, the tram here is not like the tram or bullet design that Feiren knew. On the contrary, the whole tram is like a polygon like the Eight Immortal Box, and there are only two cars - naturally, there is nothing except the console and seat.

Of course there is no driver.

But this naturally couldn't help Feiren and Lorna. Lorna reached out and pointed it lightly on it. Soon, with the roar of the brisk motor, the originally gloomy car suddenly appeared in bright light. Then the strange tram shook slightly, and then drove forward quickly along the tunnel.

“—!”

And at this moment, suddenly, a strange sound sounded, attracting Feren's attention. But the sound was fleeting and almost nothing remained.

"Did you hear it? Lorna?"

"……………This commander seems to have…but there seems to be no…is it the sound of the machine running?"

Faced with Feiron's inquiry, Lorna was also a little panicked. She closed her eyes, frowned, sensed it around again, and then shook her head at Feiron.

"I still haven't sensed any living beings besides us, commander."

"It's probably an illusion."

Hearing Lorna's answer, Feiren nodded, and did not say anything else, but looked at the dark tunnel in front of him. Because of his disrepair, the lights here are sometimes gone. From a distance, you can only see a dim shadow.
