Chapter 848: Entering the Base
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The structure built out of energy crystals was at least several hundred ters tall. The scale was impressive as well; it was big enough to fit a small town. How did He Lan Yuan even manage to construct such a large and enclosed building?
However, the most surprising thing was this place never once showed up on Earth’s satellite surveillance. Xinghe’s hypothesis was that they had so kind of signal blocking device.
Sam launched a punch at the wall.
"This wall is rather tough."
Xinghe nodded. "The energy crystals have impressive tensile strength; they are indestructible at least using your bare hands."
"How did they manage to find so many energy crystals?"
"We will find out soon enough," Xinghe answered.
The question then was, how were they going to get in? The entrance Shi Jian ntioned could not be seen. Xinghe had to give Shi Jian another call. With his careful guidance, they finally found the base’s entrance.
The main entrance was huge and beside it were several smaller doors. When they arrived, one of the smaller doors swung open to lead into the darkness.
"Miss Xia, you can just walk in. You still have to walk a short distance before you reach the center of the base. Just go through the door."
"This sounds too much like a trap," Sam comnted anxiously and stared deep into the darkness.
Xinghe said with determination, "We have co this far; we have to continue even if this is a trap."
Mubai suddenly took Xinghe’s hand and said, "I will go in first, rember to stay by my side."
Sam also sidled to Xinghe’s side. They ford a protective barrier around Xinghe. The trio stepped through the door with extre caution. After Sam got in, the door closed quickly behind them. Before they could even react, the lights above them ca on.
The four corners of the walls were fitted with lighting which lit up the several hundred square ters room like daylight. The trio took so ti before they could get used to the sudden change in lighting.
The room had nothing, but Shi Jian told them through the phone that the room was equipped with a circulation system. It would lock off the room from the outside and fill the vacuum to beco normal air. This was a change Xinghe’s group could not validate because they were still in their spacesuits.
They stayed in the enclosed room for several minutes before a door in front of them slowly opened to reveal the rays of light streaming out from within.
However, the door that was open was incredibly curious looking, because instead of a door, it looked more like a chanical booth. Shi Jian confird it as a type of one-way revolving door. The booth had two half-doors, one facing the trio and the other half facing the other side. One could only go in but not get out.
Shi Jian told them to continue moving forward.
"Let go in first," Sam volunteered. He got close to the booth and studied it carefully before stepping into the booth. The booth was only big enough to fit one person.
The mont he got in, the half-door Sam just walked through slamd shut and the half-door on the other end opened to reveal the interior of the base. Standing before Sam was a group of people, one of them was Shi Jian.
Witnessing him, Shi Jian said robotically, "You are Mr. Sam, right? Welco, you can have Miss Xia and Mr. Xi co over now."
Sam was startled before he retreated back into the booth. The mont he did, the half-door closed and the one facing Xinghe and Mubai, who were still waiting, opened.
"Xinghe, you two can co forward, it’s safe," Sam yelled at them.
