408 Opening the Metal Door, Behind the Doors that Lay Behind I (2/2)

This meant that the layout of this hidden room could just be a disguise.

Soon, Mark's suspicion was answered. He was right.

On the set of metal tiles at the corner of the hidden room, the sound made after he knocked was different from other areas.

Once more, he started melting the thick metal tiles with his fire.

”Master~! What is everyone doing?”

Amihan and Aephelia that went for a night stroll came back and saw what was happening. Being away from nature for too long, Amihan asked Aephelia to take a fly around the area.

”Adventure!”

Miracle was the one to answer first which made Abbygale and Iola nod.

EIIINNGGGG!!!

A sound was heard after Mark removed the melted metal tiles. Sure enough, it was a trapdoor with a ladder going down.

Like before, Mark took the lead and went down.

The ladder was quite high. In Mark's estimate, the ladder actually led him even lower than the basement of the mansion.

Reaching the end of the ladder, there was a flight of stairs that lead to a door below.

And... It was another thick metal door.

Mark could not help but scratch his head. This was the third one. For sure, the owners of the house were overly cautious for them to make something like this. It was good that there were no traps so far. If there was, Mark could surely question the sanity of the person that made this.

For several more minutes, Mark melted parts of the third door. As it was safe, he let everyone go down while he worked on the door.

The third door was twice as thick as the first door making it harder to open. It was a pain to melt with his flames.

Finally, the third door was opened. Nevertheless, Mark started to promise in his heart that if there was nothing behind this door or this door was not the last one, he would make this place explode tomorrow.

Fortunately, that was not the case.

Upon entering, what welcomed them was the stale air that was enclosed in this place for too long. Ignoring the bad air, everyone was amazed.

This place was not just an emergency shelter, it was actually an underground bunker.

The whole place was huge. In Mark's estimate, the bunker occupied half of the lot.

”Amihan, manipulate the air to remove the stale gases inside. Some harmful chemicals might have mixed with the air too.”

Mark asked the Sylph to remove the bad air and replace it with a fresher one.

”Okay~!”

After Amihan blew the bad air out of the house through the passage they just went through.

Finally, they explored the bunker.

It was a jackpot.

Looking around, there were canned goods that could go on for years, long-lasting food and proper water supply. Aside from food, tools, generators, and even gas barrels were securely stored in one of the rooms in the bunker.

The most amazing thing, however, was one of the rooms at the furthest corner.

Secured cabinets, large boxes, and display cases. All of it was filled with firearms, ammunition, and explosives. Most of it was even illegal in the country. It would make anyone question what kind of people were the owners.

Nevertheless, Mark decided to take back what he thought of the owner of this place. He started to commend them instead. Sure enough, they were prepared for an apocalypse. Although the supply here was not enough to last for a lifetime, it could at least allow several people to live here for several years.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the owners failed to even make it into this bunker. There was no sign that his place had been touched for a long time. If there were people here, Mark would have detected them too.

The outbreak came too suddenly that the owners of the house did not make it. This apocalypse was also different from what could be seen in movies.

Inside the bunker, they also found a modified humvee. This made them question how it was brought here.

”I wonder if the lights work.”

Mark murmured as he wandered into a room that looked like a control room. Inside, there was a set of monitors stacked together, several sets of buttons and even the panel of the electricity inside the bunker was here.

Seeing the button to turn on the lights, Mark flipped it.

THUM! THUM!

Everyone squinted their eyes as the sudden brightness blinded them.

Unexpected, there was electricity. However, it seemed that the electricity was only enough to power the lights as other things inside the bunker was still not working. Some of the appliances could be turned on but would cause the lights to dim and flicker.

”Gege, where did this electricity come from?”

Mei could not help but ask.

”Probably, from batteries connected to solar panels. I saw several sets on the roof of the mansion earlier.”

Mark then noticed a button that seemed different from the set of buttons that controlled the doors.

He could not help but press it.

As soon as he did, all the lights dimmed.

Then, the girls exclaimed in amazement as the ceiling above the humvee slowly split into two and opened.

The scene outside the opened ceiling was rather familiar. It was the dried-up swimming pool at the back of the mansion.

”This place is amazing.”

Mark could only say that in amazement.

In video games and movies, he had seen many things about high-tech bunkers. He did not expect that he would encounter one here.

Rather, who would expect something like this? They just went here to spend the night, after all.

”This really is a jackpot, isn't it, Mei'er?”

Mark spoke.

”Yes.”

Mei replied. She was also amazed by what they were witnessing.

And all of these belonged to them.

Mark could not help but hug Miracle and kiss her cheeks for finding this treasure trove.
