"Okay, Lu Yuan, I understand. I will have people watching over him 24 hours a day and will notify you immediately if there is any news!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then found Xiao Shan and told her about the recent events. After listening, Xiao Shan showed a worried expression.
"We shouldn't be stuck here forever, right?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I will do my best to get us away from here. I definitely won't stay here forever. Just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of things here!"
Xiao Shan nodded gently, looking at the buildings under construction around her, and felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.
Lu Yuan ate absentmindedly during dinner, his mind preoccupied with Lin Qi's injuries. If Lin Qi didn't wake up, they would be trapped in this place forever.
He had people inspect the upper protective plate multiple times, but they still hadn't found any effective way to break through the steel protective layer.
The steel protective plate on top is not only thick, but also extremely strong. It is impossible to cut the steel plate on top using ordinary cutting methods.
Moreover, it is said that there is more than one layer of steel plates on top, because according to their previous production records, there seem to be about seven or eight layers of steel plates on top. If they cut them layer by layer, even if the moon falls, they still will not be able to open the exit on top.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to clear the dishes and wash them, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door. Lu Yuan was slightly startled, then put down the dishes and went downstairs.
As she opened the door, Sun Yuanyuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Lu Yuan, Lin Qi has woken up!"
"What? Lin Qi is awake! That's great! Let's go, let's go see him right away!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan quickly followed behind the other person and walked towards the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found Lin Qi still lying in bed with various tubes inserted into his body.
Several men in white coats were standing outside the ward, conducting a consultation and examination on him.
Then Lu Yuan pushed open the door and went in. After consulting with several experts, he learned that Lin Qi had fully recovered thanks to the protection of the golden fruit during this period.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Lin Qi lay on the hospital bed and nodded slightly to Lu Yuan. He tried to get up, but he didn't have the strength. Lu Yuan gently patted him on the shoulder.
"It's alright, I'm glad you've recovered! By the way, I have an important question I want to ask you!"
Lin Qi nodded slightly: "Mr. Lu, please tell me. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything!"
"Okay, we're on a high floor now, but there are a lot of protective panels on top of it, and we can't open them at all! But I heard from Fatty Tian that you were involved in the design of these ceiling panels, so I wanted to ask if you know how to open those switches on the ceiling?"
Lin Qi nodded slightly: "I know! The switch above is actually located at the bottom of the water dungeon. They hid this design to prevent outsiders from finding the switch. I originally wanted to reveal this information to Chen Han, but I was discovered and then imprisoned in this water dungeon!"
Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan was immediately surprised.
"Is this news true? Is there anything else to add?"
Lin Qi thought for a moment: "By the way, there is something I need to tell you. It concerns whether you can open all the designs above the ceiling. There are seven layers in total, and each layer requires a separate person to complete. If you fail even once, the upper protective panel will never be able to be opened again. So you must crack the code on the first try. If you make a mistake, you will be trapped here forever!"
Lu Yuan felt a sudden tightness in his heart. He hadn't expected that the higher-ups would resort to such a vicious and insidious scheme to prevent them from leaving.
"Damn it, didn't they plan to leave us a way out?"
Lin Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "They said it was for the good of the people on Earth, to give everyone a quick death, but they never thought that we could never accept their plan. Everyone wants to live, not die. We've survived so many disasters, and of course, it's best to be alive."
When they designed the underground fortress, it was intended to provide a cyclical environment! They prepared everything inside—water, food, air, and all sorts of supplies—with meticulous care. Their original plan was to hand it over to the middle ranks for distribution, but they never imagined that this plan would actually plunge humanity into a death trap!
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his heart filled with immense shock.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Get some rest, and I'll come see you again when I have time!"
Lin Qi nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you for saving me. By the way, what's the date now?"
Lu Yuan glanced down at the time: "December 15th!"
"Oh, it's already December 15th! They successfully launched the spaceship on November 10th! I can't believe we've been stuck in this water prison for over a month! It seems I'll never see my family again!"
As he said this, Lin Qi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Seeing the pained look on the other person's face, Lu Yuan felt a little helpless. He gently patted the other person's shoulder and left the room.
