Chapter 75: Isolation
Right at this moment, Liu Gan heard a rumbling sound again. Furthermore, since he was crouching near the passage opening, he heard this rumbling sound even clearer than before. He could already now determine that this rumbling sound didn’t originate from the thunder outside, but it originated from at least ten meters deep underground.
As to answer the question of what terrifying creature produced this kind of rumbling sound would be basically impossible. One would personally have to travel further downwards to be able to clearly investigate.
“Did you hear that?” Jiang JinYuan had a face full of dread as he asked Liu Gan.
“I heard it. I also heard it earlier, but you didn’t.” Liu Gan’s face still showed an indifferent expression.
“Then, do we still have to go down!?” Jiang JinYuan scowled miserably as he asked Liu Gan. Finding a very formidable bodyguard for oneself had its advantages and disadvantages. If it weren’t for Liu Gan, he simply couldn’t even reach the laboratory safely. Yet at the present moment, all of this was clearly not what he had wished for.
Jiang JinYuan only wanted to restore this building’s electricity and communications equipment as quickly as possible. Then, he would get in contact with the main city’s laboratory, so that they could dispatch an aircraft or ship to come over and pick him up. This would allow him to complete his task for the San Xing Corporation, and what was meant for his wife and daughter was the large compensation as previously agreed upon.
However, Liu Gan’s only goal was for the both of them to risk going below into an underground world.
“Of course we’re still going down. If there were an unknown organism inside, then it’d be a good reason to be worrisome. But now that we know there isn’t a single thing inside, what are you so afraid of?” Liu Gan shined the flashlight onto Jiang JinYuan’s face and then into the passage underground.
Looking at the results from the PDA’s display, no person or zombie could be seen hidden inside, apart from that inexplicable disappearing yellow dot below the surface. But in order to prevent any accidental mishaps from occurring after entering, Liu Gan, nevertheless, again used his strength to push open the metal door several times. Now, the metal door was already open to about a hundred centimeters wide, so he could push it directly instead of using the crowbar.
Even if Liu Gan considered it likely to encounter danger, he still decided to go down to investigate more. It was such a secret area, so who knew what powerful treasure could be found there? If one didn’t take risks when playing a game, one would definitely not obtain any fabled legendary equipments.
Only after pushing aside the metal door to a sufficient width, did Liu Gan and Jiang JinYuan both finally descend down the metal ladder very carefully into the bottom of the underground cavern. After entering the room, Liu Gan shined the flashlight all around and, nevertheless, could not find any kind of door whatsoever.
Could this be another secret enclosed chamber?
“This wall should have a mechanical door powered by electricity, but in this situation without any electricity, then it should be possible to push open.” Jiang JinYuan said to Liu Gan while pointing at a specific wall after he had examined all around the area. Although they were inside a game world, Jiang JinYuan was familiar with the designs of these special structures inside a laboratory. Actually, this laboratory did not differ much from San Xing Corporation’s laboratory of the real world.
