Chapter 1688: Chapter 1687: Underground Transit Network
The people on both sides pushed open the stone door together. Fortunately, the stone door could still be moved; although it was heavy, they finally managed to push it open after much effort. But once it was open, a strong, cold, and damp wind hit them in the face!
Mou Xiao frowned and said in judgment, "It should be very large inside, and there’s ventilation."
"Big brother!" Xing Yan, shining a laser flashlight around, turned back and called to him in surprise. Mou Xiao rushed over, also very surprised.
Because his judgment was correct, it was very large inside!
It was not just large; it was simply a maze of paths! It seemed like an underground transportation network, with countless branches, and each path was very wide.
"My goodness, did the Ansheng Group build a city underground?" Yan Zhufei said in shock.
Hao Yansen also didn’t expect it to be this large.
Moreover, the problem now was, with so many paths, which one should they take?!
Mou Xiao immediately picked up a map, but nothing was marked on it, except that there was a basement here.
Hao Yansen had come well-prepared; he had people take out walkie-talkies and distribute them, suggesting, "We’d better split up, and notify each other if anything happens. There are so many paths here, we can’t check them one by one; it’s too time-consuming."
"Two people per group, all acting separately," Mou Xiao also suggested.
"Agreed," Hao Yansen nodded.
Then they immediately started forming groups. Naturally, Shang Shi was paired with Hao Yansen, as he could never be apart from him.
Once grouped, Hao Yansen chose a path and began exploring, as did the others.
Mou Xiao and Xing Yan were in one group, walking in the dark tunnel. Mou Xiao was not nervous at all, his gaze always sharp.
This underground transportation network actually had electrical circuits, but since the entire island was abandoned, the electricity was naturally unusable.
Fortunately, their laser flashlights could illuminate a large area.
After exploring a certain distance, Mou Xiao roughly understood what these transportation networks were for. It was essentially an underground city, used for communication or evasion.
Because in many sections, they could see stairs leading upwards, with doors on the stairs. Some doors could be pushed open, while others were blocked by debris and couldn’t.
Mou Xiao also judged that this underground transportation network probably spanned the entire island.
Hao Yansen came to the same conclusion on his side.
"Young master, the Ansheng Group must have spent a lot of time and effort building this place. What exactly happened to make them abandon it?" Shang Shi, walking behind Hao Yansen, couldn’t help but wonder.
Hao Yansen also wanted to know this point.
What exactly happened that made the Ansheng Group abandon this place? Rationally speaking, it was very difficult for them to give it up.
But regardless of what happened, he had a premonition that all of this was related to his parents.
"No matter what happened, we must find out."
"Understood!"
...
But this underground transportation network was too large and convoluted; they walked and walked and then realized they didn’t know where they had gone!
Even if they wanted to return, they couldn’t find the way back.
Because there were always junctions on the road, and it was pitch black here, they couldn’t determine the path they came from.
Soon, Hao Yansen noticed something was wrong.
"We can’t keep going!" he stopped and said with a frown.
Because they had been walking for a long time without reaching an end, and they didn’t know where they had gone.
Continuing to walk further would only result in getting lost here.
