In the middle of Poyang Lake, several boats painted with the NAC symbol were quietly parked on the lake. Soldiers in exoskeletons stood on the side of the ship with rifles in their hands, carefully guarding the underwater situation.
In this wasteland, places with water were always more dangerous than places without water. Behind every water plant could be the shadow of a Mud Crab. These mutants covered in heavy armor, even the Death Claws wouldn't have an advantage against them.
Wearing a pitch-black power armor, Jiang Chen stood at the bow and glanced at the bottomless lake.
The clear surface of the lake slowly rippled. If it wasn't for the conclusive information, no one would believe that such a shocking secret was hidden under the lake.
Two thousand scientists from all walks of life, this "treasure" was too important to Jiang Chen.
After a while, a knight walked up behind him and bowed his head respectfully.
"The observers have already scanned the area with the life detection device. There are no traces of Mud Crabs within a radius of one kilometer. Our men are ready and can set off at any time. "
"Then let's go now," Jiang Chen ordered.
"Yes!"
Hu Cheng respectfully saluted and left after receiving the order.
Under the leadership of the NAC knight, five soldiers in amphibious kinetic skeletons quickly gathered at the bow. With a command, they jumped into the lake one after another.
Jiang Chen stood at the head of the boat and waited quietly until the underwater team confirmed that the bottom of the lake was safe before he stepped into the lake.
As a single soldier armor that could pass through the nuclear radiation zone, the water depth of ten meters on average was naturally nothing to the T3 power armor. Not long after, Jiang Chen's feet firmly stepped on the soft bottom of the lake.
One or two mutated fish swam over and bit the steel shell with their crooked teeth. Jiang Chen waved his hand to drive away these overconfident mutated creatures and walked toward the location marked on the holographic screen.
Like most fallout shelters, this one that was not part of the plan had a circle with a diameter of ten meters. The only difference was that it was not embedded in the wall, but in the bottom of the lake, which was overgrown with water plants.
Time did not leave any traces of rust on its body, and the shiny alloy looked as if it had been cast yesterday. In the center of this giant circular door, the word T7 was painted.
"This is it."
A string of bubbles burst out from the gap of the armor. Jiang Chen nodded at the knight who was also wearing power armor. He took out the ruby pendant from his waist and walked to the center of the giant steel gate.
"Let me do it." Hu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop the marshal and volunteered.
As a knight of the NAC, how could he let the general put himself in danger?
Jiang Chen just shook his head.
"It's fine. It's unlikely that there are traps here."
The entire Fallout Shelter 118 was under the banner of NAC. Lu Yihua had no reason to lie to himself.
Only tombs needed mechanisms to guard tombs. If it was to send knowledge and hope to the future, then the people who built this refuge had no reason to put weapons inside.
In the center of the steel door, just as Lu Yihua had described, there was a circular depression.
Jiang Chen put the silver disc at the end of the pendant on it and gently rotated it half a circle to the right.
The ruby embedded in the center of the disc was the core of the key. After a special gemstone processing process, the tens of gigabytes of password were engraved in the direction of the fallout shelter. The secret key made with this encryption method could not be deciphered even with the computing power of an experimental quantum computer.
Electricity flowed through the silver disc and passed through the ruby.
A string of dense bubbles burst out from the edge of the giant steel door and spread to the surface of the lake.
With a slight tremor, the giant door began to slowly sink.
"Something is not right here … General, please come out first." Hu Cheng immediately stepped forward to protect Jiang Chen and looked around nervously. The five soldiers wearing amphibious kinetic skeletons around him also nervously set up the underwater rifles in their hands, alert to possible threats.
"Don't be nervous, it's just an elevator." Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and pressed down on Hu Cheng's gun to signal everyone not to be nervous.
Everyone slowly sank with the giant steel door. In less than half a minute, the giant door that originally protruded from the surface had become a deep pit. When the giant door sank to a certain height, the entire giant door made a "click" sound like a bullet entering a chamber.
The top of the deep pit began to close, like a dome covering everyone's head, sealing the exit.
When the dome was completely closed, the signal light in the deep pit lit up and illuminated the entire space.
Then, the water level began to drop until it was completely emptied, and the vertical wall of the well slowly moved to reveal a door.
"It turns out that this thing is not a door, it's an elevator."
He looked around, and all he could see were steep steel walls. Hu Cheng put away the underwater rifle in his hand and muttered to himself. He took out the tactical rifle from his waist and held it in his hand.
At this time, Jiang Chen already walked in front of the open steel door.
However, just as he was about to cross the door, he stopped with a frown.
On the open steel door, he saw a familiar logo.
He reached out and gently touched the raised badge. His fingertips covered in soft alloy followed the lines and swept away the dust on the outline. If he remembered correctly, the company that owned this logo had a famous name.
"East Asia Heavy Industries …" Jiang Chen retracted his hand and murmured the name.
"What's wrong?" With heavy steps, Hu Cheng, clad in steel armor, walked to his side. He picked up the flashlight and shone it into the darkness behind the door, but other than a long and narrow corridor, there was nothing special at all.
"Where's the pendant? Take it down and give it to me. "Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at the knight who came down with him.
"Yes!"
Hu Cheng nodded respectfully and walked back to the center of the circular giant door. He bent down to take the pendant out of the groove and gave it to Jiang Chen.
After taking the pendant from the knight's hand, Jiang Chen waved to the soldiers behind him and signaled them to follow. Then he walked into the corridor.
Under the leadership of Hu Cheng, the six people firmly guarded Jiang Chen's left and right sides.
Soon, the group came to the end of the corridor.
Jiang Chen took out the key again and scanned it on the card reader of an alloy door.
After reading the password in the ruby, the alloy door slowly opened, and the cold light that was turned on illuminated the dark space. Gradually, he saw the spectacular scene behind the door. Jiang Chen's pupils also gradually enlarged and bloomed with amazement.
Like terracotta warriors, in a space of tens of thousands of square meters, there were about two thousand oval hibernation chambers. The white shell was like a goose egg that was placed diagonally. It was wrapped by pipes as thick as a forearm and entangled with the central control computer and life support device.
This was not a fallout shelter, but a time machine.
From the past decades to the present, what it carried was the tinder of civilization.
"Wait for me here."
Leaving this sentence, Jiang Chen, with the indescribable excitement in his heart, walked to the giant egg closest to him and pressed the button that said [End Hibernation].
The smooth "shell" opened a neat gap, and cold white mist spewed out from the gap.
Like a cocoon being reborn, the shell of the hibernation chamber slowly opened, revealing the girl lying inside the shell with skin as smooth as jade.
However, when he saw the person's face, Jiang Chen's excitement suddenly seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water and quickly cooled down.
Suddenly, he thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the central control computer.
This device seemed familiar to him …
As if to confirm his guess, the silent screen slowly lit up, and a man in a suit appeared in the center of the screen.
He sat in the office chair with the night view of Wanghai City before the war behind him.
The expressionless face seemed to lack interest in everything.
"Hello, future friend … Looking at your expression, have you seen me before?"
