Chapter 1207 - A Plentiful Harvest! (1/2)
At this time, Jiang Chen heard the reminder from X71291.
“We’re here.”
After the power armor slowed down, the wheels retracted, and Jiang Chen used the inertia to jog a few steps forward before coming to stop. He placed Yao Yao, who was in his arms, down and looked up at the bullet-shaped building.
“This place?”
“Eden Technology Headquarters… a replica. The original one on the surface is probably in ruins. Your expression tells me you are very surprised?”
“It’s really unexpected,” Jiang Chen nodded. “I thought the location of the treasure would be hidden. I didn’t expect it to be in the city’s downtown.”
“Hidden?” The AI smiled. “Since it is already the destination of the maze, why hide it?”
“…makes sense.”
They walked into the building.
With Yao Yao and Lu Fan and the other three guards, Jiang Chen stood in front of the entrance to the underground elevator and followed the guidance of the AI.
Yao Yao followed behind Jiang Chen and looked around, but she couldn’t stop herself from yawning.
“Are you sleepy?”
Yao Yao nodded, slightly dizzy. Her long eyelashes began to fight each other.
“I wonder what time it is outside.”
The sequelae of the inhibitor caused her to show symptoms of lethargy. It was quite incredible for her to be awake for so long.
Jiang Chen rubbed her hair.
“Can Yao Yao please stay awake for a bit longer?”
Yao Yao responded with a gentle smile and nodded. While she still felt drowsy, she raised her chest, “Of course.”
“Mhmm, please.”
Jiang Chen gently rubbed Yao Yao’s fluffy hair, then walked in the direction of the elevator and entered the password provided by X71291 on the mechanical code lock.
The password was correct and the elevator door slowly opened.
“I can only accompany you to this point. Any further is beyond my authority.” From the small TV next to the lock, the AI said to Jiang Chen, “Below the elevator is what you are looking for. But since the magnetic levitation track above the city has been destroyed, it is not easy to move these things.”
“I have a way,” Jiang Chen said.
“Oh, really?” The AI said surprised. Though the face in the holographic screen did not look too shocked.
“Yes,” Jiang Chen replied succinctly.
“What are you talking about?” Lu Fan looked at Jiang Chen and the AI as if they were talking in reiddles and felt completely lost, “Why can’t I understand anything.”
“It’s better if you don’t understand.” Jiang Chen glared at him. “Wait for me here.”
Lu Fan quickly closed his mouth and stopped asking.
“Roger!”
…
After he stood on the elevator, the elevator went all the way down and stopped at the first floor of the underground space.
As the elevator stopped, the lights in the hall lit up in sequence, illuminating the dark space. Through the glass partition of the elevator, Jiang Chen roughly estimated based on the rangefinder that the floor space was at least hundreds of acres.
Intuitively, it was at least the size of ten football fields.
Rows of bullet-shaped hibernation chambers were like the Terracotta Warriors in Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum. They were lined up a in square formation in this vast space. They slept quietly with the last will of Pan-Asia Cooperation. Through the glass onto the hibernation chamber, Jiang Chen could clearly see that the hibernation chambers were empty.
X71291 did not lie to him. The 000 plan was never executed from the beginning.
Would Old Luo…no Scarecrow cough up blood if he heard the news? To protect the secret of Line 0, he spent the rest of his life trying to outwit Ding Liwei.
However, all this was just an unrealistic dream…
