Chapter 102 Reunion with Qingyu
As soon as Xiao Zhao finished speaking, the fat man quickly stopped the car, and the four of them got out with joy on their faces.
This is a plain.
Han Shuo's feet were covered with lush green grass.
On either side in the distance, there are rows of wind turbines generating electricity, and beneath the wind turbines, there are rows of solar panels.
These power generation devices extend further and further into the distance...
Looking out, it seems to stretch on forever...
"Where? Where? Xiao Zhao? Didn't you say we were at the underground research institute? I don't see it."
The fat man shouted excitedly, but in his excitement, he also looked rather silly...
"The underground research institute, you said it yourself, of course it's underground, Fatty, I've suddenly realized you've become stupid, haven't you?"
Han Shuo responded with a speechless remark.
"hey-hey!"
Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, he just chuckled twice.
He took two steps forward with his crutches, and then Han Shuo saw Xiao Zhao take a small, round object out of his pocket.
"Is this... a signal sensor?"
Han Shuo muttered to himself.
Just as he guessed, the small, round object was a signal sensor.
Xiao Zhao turned on the switch, placed the signal sensor on the grass, and then retreated to Han Shuo's side.
"Everyone, wait a moment."
After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, everyone waited quietly.
The signal sensor's red light is flashing...
About 30 seconds later, about 10 meters ahead, a piece of grass suddenly lifted up, and then a rectangular iron rod emerged from the ground.
The iron rod was covered with cameras, and then it rotated 360 degrees in place.
Finally, the row of cameras locked onto Han Shuo and his three companions, paused for a moment, and then the iron rod burrowed back underground.
"That's it?"
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, Han Shuo felt a slight tremor in the ground beneath his feet.
Suddenly, the ground in front of him rose up, stopping when it reached a height of 5 meters, revealing a huge, dark hole in front of Han Shuo.
The scene before them left all three except Xiao Zhao completely stunned, as if they were watching a science fiction movie.
The fat man even rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he was seeing.
"This is absolutely stunning!"
“Yes, Xiao Zhao, is the way you all enter the underground research institute always this special?” Li Shurou was also shocked.
"Haha, it wasn't this exaggerated before. It was only after the renovation that the land level rose like this every day. It would have been discovered long ago."
Xiao Zhao grinned, feeling a strong sense of familiarity upon returning to this place.
"Alright, alright, get in the car, let's drive in!"
Han Shuo was the quickest to recover among the three. Now that the entrance to the underground research institute had appeared, it was time to go in and explore.
The four quickly got back into the car, and the fat man turned on the headlights and drove straight towards the entrance.
After the car disappeared through the cave entrance, the land receded again, and the entrance to the underground research institute was hidden once more.
...
It was very bright inside; as soon as the car entered the underground research institute, all the overhead lights in the passageway were turned on.
Han Shuo discovered that the passage was at approximately a 30-degree angle and slowly extended downwards.
The car moved slowly for about two minutes and came to an open space.
"Fatty, we need to get out of the car and park it in the marked area on the left," Xiao Zhao said.
"good."
Following Xiao Zhao's directions, the fat man parked the car in the correct spot.
"Are we going to walk the rest of the way? What about the stuff in the car?" Han Shuo asked.
"It's okay, someone will handle it. Don't worry, Brother Han, they won't touch the things in the car."
"Okay, let's go then."
Han Shuo still trusted Xiao Zhao and stopped worrying about the supplies.
Xiao Zhao was in front, and the three of them followed behind, slowly walking forward.
Five minutes later, Han Shuo turned a corner and saw a large gate.
This gate looks sturdy and heavy.
The first impression it gives is that it has an extremely high level of safety.
"Sizzle—!"
The door opened, and a young man ran out.
The young man's name was Bai Zichen, and he was just 20 years old. He was responsible for guarding the gate here.
Bai Zichen's face was full of excitement, clearly indicating that he knew Xiao Zhao and that the two had a good relationship.
"Brother Zhao Yu! I knew you wouldn't die!"
"Xiao Zichen, haha, I'm finally back!" Xiao Zhao's face was also full of excitement, and the two hugged each other tightly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Zichen looked at Han Shuo and the other two people behind Xiao Zhao.
"Brother Zhao Yu, how did you hurt your leg? And who are those three people?"
Xiao Zhao patted Bai Zichen's head and said with a smile.
"It's alright, my leg is fine. The three of them are survivors from outside. Don't rush to catch up, let's get things arranged and let us in."
"Alright, everyone, please come in with me."
Soon, the four of them went inside. Only after stepping through this door did they officially enter the underground research institute.
...
"Brother Zhao Yu, you guys go over there and go through the formalities first. I need to hurry and inform Captain Qingyu. You don't know, Captain Qingyu hasn't been in a good mood lately. If he knows you're back, he'll be very happy!"
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take them there."
After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, Bai Zichen excitedly ran inside.
"Brother Han, we need to go over and get checked to make sure we haven't been infected by zombies."
"Okay, let's go." Han Shuo nodded.
The four then entered the room ahead. The room was large and contained four or five staff members wearing white coats.
The inspection process is not complicated.
Men and women were separated, and all their clothes were removed so that staff could check for wounds. They were then given a blood sample to check for any risk of infection.
The entire process took less than 10 minutes. All four people were checked and, after being confirmed to be normal, they underwent another round of disinfection before being allowed to pass.
Walking out of the back door of this room, Han Shuo felt as if he had entered a new world.
A chaotic cacophony reached Han Shuo's ears; there were many people here, so many people...
There were far more people than he had imagined; everyone was constantly busy.
It's huge, so huge, it's really huge, you can't even see the end of it when you look at it.
Han Shuo didn't understand why a research institute focused on scientific research would be built so large.
Most importantly, it's underground. It's hard to imagine how much financial, material, and human resources the country spent on this project.
Although there are no skyscrapers here, it is full of technological features!
Just as Han Shuo was pondering, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out from the crowd in the distance.
The middle-aged man's face was filled with excitement, and his steps became faster and faster as he headed straight for Han Shuo and his group of four.
Upon seeing this person, Xiao Zhao cried with excitement, while Han Shuo smiled happily...
He is Qingyu.
