SFS Chapter 407 Underground Facilities
Chapter 407 Underground Facilities
The massive explosion engulfed the entire planet Revelation III, with the deafening roar reaching several kilometers away.
Fortunately, the steel plant was located far from the city center, and the explosion did not cause any innocent casualties. However, in Lin Xuan's mind, as long as the trouble was resolved, whether or not people died was not his concern.
However, when Lin Xuan saw the images transmitted back by the satellite, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"How could such a huge crater have been blown up?" he murmured, his brows furrowed.
Satellite maps clearly show that the once massive steel plant has been completely razed to the ground, replaced by a huge sinkhole with a diameter of several hundred meters.
The edges of the crater were jagged, as if it had been torn apart by some enormous force. Deep in the crater, metal plates could be vaguely seen protruding from the ground, their surfaces shimmering with faint sparks, as if they were embedded in concrete.
"This doesn't seem right. I have a feeling there's something else buried underground," the veteran said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, as he leaned closer to check.
“Indeed, normally an explosion wouldn’t blow the ground up like this. This collapse looks to me like there were other facilities underground originally.” Lin Xuan stroked her chin, pondering for a moment.
"Forget it, I'd better go and see for myself, just in case something goes wrong."
Ever since meeting Zhizi, Lin Xuan has felt extremely insecure, as if she could be targeted by the final progenitor at any moment.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he planned to go and check these abnormalities himself.
They casually summoned two Starfire soldiers to help them steer the ship, and the three of them sped towards the scene of the incident.
Lin Xuan didn't bring many helpers when she went out, for two reasons: first, there were very few people in this place who could beat her; second, if it really was those few people who came, even if the entire Spark Organization were tied up together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Soon, the spacecraft landed smoothly.
After getting a little closer, Lin Xuan could see that a modern facility was indeed hidden in the huge crater formed by the explosion. It was quite large, but its specific purpose was still unclear.
"So, the steel plant on top is just a facade, and what they really want to hide is what's underneath?" Lin Xuan muttered to herself, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
Since the Starfire Organization took over Revelation III, Lin Xuan had always believed they possessed most of the planet's secrets. However, the existence of this facility made her realize that things were far more complex than she had imagined.
“Interesting…” He narrowed his eyes, pondering to himself.
Lin Xuan had imprinted his mind on the vast majority of officials on the mechanical Earth, making it virtually impossible for anyone to deceive him.
Unless... the existence of this facility is known to only a very few people.
"You all stay here, I'll go down and take a look myself."
Lin Xuan tossed the spaceship key to two soldiers, then turned and walked along the broken metal layer at the collapse point towards the depths of the facility.
Unsure of the potential dangers within the facility, he cautiously wrapped himself in nanobots to guard against any sudden attacks.
“Structural Reorganization: Spider,” he whispered the command.
The nanobots rapidly transformed in his palm, becoming two white spider robots. With a casual toss, the two spiders crawled forward, one to the left and one to the right, to pave the way for Lin Xuan.
The interior of the facility was larger than Lin Xuan had imagined. The location of the blasted-out opening seemed to be at the junction of a passageway. Both doors were locked, but these locks obviously couldn't stop Lin Xuan.
"Structural penetration".
Two white threads emerged from Lin Xuan's palm, groped around in the electronic lock's circuitry for a while, and then, with a "click," the door opened.
"Your little gadget is really useful. I thought they were only good as weapons."
Zhi Zi's gentle voice rang in Lin Xuan's ear. Clearly, she was still monitoring Lin Xuan's every move.
"Next time you speak, could you please call me first? It's kind of scary to talk to someone so suddenly."
Lin Xuan made a comment and then pushed open the door to go inside.
"I'll pay attention next time."
For the first time ever, Tomoko did not object this time, but accepted Lin Xuan's suggestion.
The space behind the door was very open. Lin Xuan shone her flashlight around and found a giant multi-port server in the center of the open space in front of her. The server was surrounded by a ring of transparent glass, as if it were sealing something inside.
