The area was gradually cleaned up.

The gerbil remained silent, instead keeping a close eye on the master's movements.

Could it be that what's hidden underground is also related to Project Zero?

As time went on, more and more people gathered here, and within a few days, scholars from the land of sages also arrived one after another.

The military drove them from the Oasis Alliance to Fortress 21, and under their protection, they entered the pit area by car.

The scholars seemed quite panicked.

They sat in the car, their faces pale, constantly licking their dry lips, extremely nervous.

The sky over the pit area was overcast, clearly indicating that it was not a safe place. However, the convoy did not encounter any danger as it moved forward. Instead, the ground was littered with corpses and blood, forming a war road made up of the bodies of the northern barbarians.

"Does anyone know where we're going?"

"It is an imperial edict from the Duke of Qin. It seems that an underground shelter has been discovered in the pit area."

"real?"

"Yes, my older brother works in the military."

These academics were not all old men, but also included students and assistants who had just graduated from top universities and research institutes.

Upon learning that there were undiscovered shelters here, everyone secretly began to look forward to it.

...

Gradually,

The ground was excavated.

Plates of alloy steel were revealed, appearing under the sky above the crater area.

Qin Che was overjoyed. Sure enough, Shelter No. 2 was hidden in this place, so he ordered the excavation to be accelerated.

The military and the prisoners were equally confused.

To their surprise, they actually found something here.

As for the slaves, they initially even thought the enemy wanted them to dig their own graves.

Gradually, an oval-shaped building was unearthed.

With their excavation equipment, they simply couldn't pry open these alloy steel plates.

Qin Che also knew that the building materials of this shelter could counteract and isolate the penetration of psionic particles. Therefore, during his simulation, he obtained a key card from the blue-coated administrator, which he kept in his system space.

Qin Che led the guard company to the gate.

Take out the key card, pry open the cover, and insert it into the card slot.

moment!

All that could be heard was a series of hissing sounds.

The door emitted a loud hissing sound, then slowly opened.

Qin Che, with practiced ease, led the guard company to the cold storage warehouse and witnessed firsthand the 46 Old World humans who had not yet awakened.

The gerbil looked on in shock: "This is..."

The military and the guard company were also dumbfounded.

Qin Che offered no further explanation: "Have the people from the Land of Sages arrived yet?"

"Sir, they are still on their way."

"Send a telegram to them, tell them to hurry, they must arrive here before tonight!"

"yes!"

...

That night, the scholars of the Land of Sages, vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, rode in armored vehicles through a large area of ​​pits, crushing the corpses of the northern barbarians along the way, and finally arrived inside Shelter No. 2.

They were all stunned, looking up at the building structure and various instruments and equipment inside the shelter.

The leading scholar quickly went to see Qin Che and received his orders.

“These cryogenic chambers require energy to operate. There should still be fully functional equipment inside the shelter. See if you can find a way to wake them up earlier.”

The scholar, an elderly man, immediately nodded. Before he could even be shocked, he quickly glanced at the humans lying flat in the cryogenic chambers. His heart pounded, and he swiftly arranged and organized his men. With the assistance of the military, they pried open many of the locked rooms and found the control panel area.

In fact, every shelter is a treasure for the desert people.

It's not just the various technical documents and employee manuals hidden inside.

Every piece of steel plate and every chip here has practical value.

Even if some equipment and instruments have been corroded and completely damaged by time, the chips are protected inside and can be mined out and used as currency.

In short,

The scholars were extremely excited and wandered around the shelter, observing and searching for everything.

Li Xin rushed back before dawn.

He had also heard that Qin Che had actually dug something up here, and out of curiosity, he came back to take a look.

"These humans..."

When he saw the 46 humans in the cold storage, he was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Che laughed and said, "I told you they are treasures. They come from the old world and were chosen because of a certain plan. They were placed in these cryogenic chambers, waiting to be awakened in the future. Once upon a time, these people were regarded as hope."

"How did you know where this place is?" Li Xin asked in astonishment.

"Top secret, strictly prohibited from being leaked." Qin Che clicked his tongue twice and shook his finger.

Li Xin didn't press further. Instead, he walked forward step by step, looking at the appearance of these humans, and couldn't help but sigh, "They look almost exactly like us."

Qin Che: ……

"This isn't an alien," I couldn't help but mutter.

...

The Sage's Village quickly activated the cryogenic chamber via the control panel.

When these 46 humans awoke, Qin Che didn't waste time asking them questions; he had already done everything he needed to in the simulated world.

Now, following the established procedures, they are being assigned to various research institutions and units, allowing them to continue contributing their knowledge.

"I've said what I needed to say. Those who don't want to be under house arrest had better listen to me. The organization will assign you to various units to work and put all the knowledge in your minds to use. This will be your work and responsibility for the rest of your lives. Otherwise, you shouldn't be lying in this cryogenic chamber."

The people in blue coats seemed to have been prepared in advance.

Among them, the manager who had already met Qin Che stepped forward and said, "We are willing to work for you, but you also need to tell us what the outside world has become?"

Qin Che forgot that he had been the one talking, and those in blue coats seemed quite curious as well.

Qin Che chuckled and patted his shoulder: "You'll understand once you leave this place and go to the surface."
