It is even possible that these floods could spread along the drainage pipes into the fortress, posing a great threat to it.
"Why did the call suddenly drop? Send someone to investigate immediately. This will have a huge impact on our future. We must finalize our future plans through this meeting!"
Luo Xuan's face was so serious it was almost dark, and he spoke to his assistant beside him.
The assistant quickly headed towards the relay communications station where they were located, where several managers were troubleshooting and repairing the equipment. Since this was not headquarters, they had no idea what had happened.
So the assistant quickly asked about the problem, and the people in charge of the relay department explained the possible issues.
"What? All communications have been cut off?"
"Yes, we have already sent people through the underground passage to the new city to inquire about the situation!"
"Okay, go now and report back to me immediately once you have any news!"
The people in charge nodded immediately, and then left with their men.
The underground passages of the fortress are now filled with people, all of them looking tense as they move towards the fortress in the core area, but their goal is very unified.
That means getting to the core castle as soon as possible to find out what happened inside and why the communication was suddenly cut off.
If Chen Zhongzheng is the one who caused the trouble, then their future communications will likely only be conducted using the most primitive methods. However, that seems unlikely.
After all, Chen Zhongzheng was initially worried about these flood problems, and it was Chen Zhongzheng who organized this meeting, so he had no need to do this.
Just as chaos erupted inside the fortress.
Moreover, Lu Yuan on the other side didn't know what had happened either. In short, all the communication networks at home were cut off, and even the TV programs that Qi Qi usually liked to watch were interrupted.
Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan could only find some videos on the computer he had saved and play them for Qi Qi. Xiao Shan sat to the side, her face slightly worried.
"The satellite has been destroyed, so what do we do next? Without the satellite, we don't even know where we are."
Furthermore, we cannot assess the situation regarding the superstorm, which is extremely detrimental to our future escape and resistance!
"I know what you're saying, but for now we can only wait. I need to hurry back to work and try to dig the tunnel as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't know what's going on outside, and if something goes wrong, it will be terrible!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan turned and left, went into the room to retrieve various tools, and headed towards the tunnel. Soon, clanging and banging sounds came from inside the tunnel.
Fine beads of sweat had already seeped from Lu Yuan's forehead, and the dimensional crystal hanging around his neck was flashing back and forth.
Since absorbing Lu Yuan's blood, the dimensional crystal's luster has slowly returned. Lu Yuan was secretly pleased, but he wasn't sure if the dimensional crystal was regaining its abilities.
As time passed, the tunnel here was still nearly two kilometers away from the closest point of the core layer fortress. These two kilometers were an enormous project for him.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was very strong and had a full set of tools. By digging the hole, he could advance about 100 to 200 meters each day.
Sometimes, when there are many good spots to dig, Lu Yuan can dig up a mile in a day.
However, something seemed amiss today. After digging a few times, Lu Yuan suddenly felt water seeping down from the rocks in front of him.
Looking at the water flowing down, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
"This is already about fifty meters underground, so why is there still water seepage?"
Lu Yuan reached out and touched the water stains, then picked up a cup and collected some of it.
He then took the glass of water back to his laboratory in the house and had it tested.
The water quality is very poor. Although it has been filtered through the stones, there are still many impurities. This indicates that the water flow is very fast, even carrying out the silt and sand.
"Could it be that there's a pit above this place? The pit should be quite close to my tunnel, so that makes sense!"
"If that's the case, then we can't keep digging. If we keep digging, there's a high chance of large-scale water seepage. If it really collapses, then our house will be ruined!"
After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuan abandoned this path and started digging in the other direction.
He wanted to see what was going on ahead, but since satellite communication was now interrupted, his plan to view the terrain via satellite had failed. So he was now like a headless fly, relying on his own analysis to figure everything out.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Guo Jialiang and his group completely repaired the top of the last fortress, bringing their total number of fortresses to five.
These five fortresses housed all three million people.
However, his biggest problem now is that he doesn't have enough food, so he plans to use this communication to ask other fortresses for food and supplies.
After all, he controls the region with the largest population, and he now has the qualifications and ability to negotiate with their other fortresses.
