Under the full force of the field, the area surrounding the castle, including underground, is completely visible.
"Wow, as expected of the vampires, they've even preserved the tradition of digging burrows."
Like the Qushui Lake No. 17 base, these ancient castles also have a large underground space beneath them.
Compared to the few solitary castles on the surface, this space is intricate and complex, and could even be described as a complete underground world.
"No wonder there are no entry or exit records or check-in records from other places. They were all hidden underground."
Qian Sui, far away on Changying Island, was speechless. He could monitor a lot of information, but he was helpless against this kind of underground project unless there were more advanced space satellites that could penetrate the ground.
Standing atop the lightning rod of an ancient castle, Gao Ang meticulously examined everything underground.
He was not afraid of being seen by people, nor was he afraid of being detected by any instruments.
The collapse and expansion of space was enough to completely isolate him from the world.
Neither the naked eye nor instruments could record his every move.
This underground world, apart from lacking natural sunlight, is practically no different from the surface.
It has everything you need for eating, drinking, and relieving yourself, as well as an entertainment area and even a trading area.
"It seems this is a gathering place for their family."
After a thorough investigation, Gao Ang had a general idea in mind.
Despite its large size, this place doesn't have a large population.
He suspected that 17 people were vampires; the remaining 321 were all ordinary humans.
As for suspects like wizards, there wasn't a single one.
However, Gao Ang still discovered some evidence suggesting the existence of a wizard in the underground space.
Several laboratories, many of which contain expensive and unfamiliar equipment.
There were bottles and jars for physics experiments, chemistry experiments, and other strange and unusual things.
In some isolated places, there were even some unusual fluctuations.
He was very curious about this fluctuation.
However, he couldn't get close because he couldn't enter the underground space.
It's not that you can't get in, but getting in would be beyond the comprehension of most people.
There is a huge stone door between the castle and the underground space.
This stone door is not constructed using electronic mechanisms, but rather by traditional mechanical force.
Moreover, there were several people on duty behind the door, making it virtually impossible to open the door silently.
"Looks like we'll have to make a splash."
After thinking for a moment, Gao Ang floated off the high platform of the lightning rod.
Looking at the base of the lightning rod, he grinned maliciously, "You think you're so thick and long? Now come down here."
With a single thought, the molecular structure in the middle of the base was directly destroyed, and the concrete and stone mixture of the base instantly turned into powder.
A stone pillar, half a meter thick, tumbled and fell directly from a height of nearly thirty meters.
Fortunately, these castles are made of huge stones and concrete, without any decorations such as glazed tiles.
Even so, many exterior windows were still broken by rolling stones.
The sounds of breaking stones and shattering glass finally broke the tranquility of the castle and its surroundings.
The servants shouted, some came out to watch the commotion, and others went down to report the news.
"What's going on outside?"
"I don't know, it sounds confusing. I'll go out and take a look."
"No need, someone will take care of it. Let's just lie down and not move. Moving around will cause us to lose a lot of energy, and it's too difficult to replenish it."
The conversation between the two reached Gao Ang's ears.
He had been wondering why some people were lying motionless in the bottom coffin.
It was breathing and showed signs of life, but it didn't make a sound.
"Vitality? Isn't that a term specific to our Eastern Kingdom? How did it come out of these old monsters' mouths?"
They were called old monsters because Gao Feng noticed their clothing.
The clothing was very old-fashioned, much like the clothing worn by Westerners during the Industrial Revolution in movies.
However, these people do look quite young.
Saying they're young isn't quite right; they're more like mature adults, almost all in their prime.
"Your Majesty, are these people's faces recorded in the household registration files of which country?"
Taking advantage of the opening of the passage, Gao Feng teleported into the underground space.
"There are no records; they're probably all old fogies."
Gao Feng nodded; Qian Sui's answer was within his expectations.
Inside this ancient castle, there are very few traces of modern high technology. Apart from old light bulbs, almost everything else is manual, except for a few laboratories.
Once inside the underground space, Gao Ang was no longer so timid.
Unlike the strict guards at the stone gate, the rest of the area was basically unguarded.
Following the trace of that strange fluctuation, Gao Ang easily found his way to the vicinity of one of the laboratories.
He glanced around and saw no one else.
There was no one in the laboratory, and no traps or other odds and ends, so Gao Ang simply broke the bolt and carefully went inside.
This laboratory finally has a touch of modernity, with optical microscopes, spectrometers...
"Could it be that the so-called wizard is just another name for a scientist?"
Gao Ang was startled by his own wild idea, shrugged, and continued searching for the strange fluctuation.
He walked past a row of neatly arranged experimental instruments and came to a large freezer.
The structure of this freezer is different from other freezers.
It also has a cooling function, but its lead plate seems to be much thicker.
"Lead plates? Could they be radioactive?"
This was Gao Yang's first reaction. There was no way around it; whether it was common physics or movie plots, anything related to lead plates involved nuclear radiation.
With a wave of his right hand, the freezer door opened, and a blast of cold air rushed out.
Gao Yang had absolutely no interest in the items in the freezer; they were nothing but disgusting.
The internal organs, blood plasma, and other items were arranged fairly neatly.
With another wave of his right hand, a dark gray box that had been pressed against the bottom of the freezer floated out.
It was still a lead box, about the size of an adult's head.
The material inside is a small, round mineral, about the size of a fingernail.
That strange fluctuation was emitted by this ore.
"Your Excellency, I'm sending you a simulation of the molecular structure of this ore. Can you take a look and see what it is?"
"Okay, sir, it may take a little time."
"No rush, take your time, I'll stroll around a bit more."
After conducting experiments for so long, Gao Feng was still somewhat interested in everything here.
Although he didn't know what the lab was researching, he could make some reasonable inferences based on the data and materials.
First, based on the various materials in the freezer, he could conclude that the research subjects in this laboratory were human beings.
Secondly, the castle belongs to the vampires, and their research subjects are likely not ordinary humans, but more likely their own vampires.
Finally, Chitose sent a message: the ore with strange fluctuations was indeed some kind of ore with radioactive properties.
"So, these people are researching the effects of radiation on vampires?"
But it doesn't seem like it either; according to experimental records, these human tissues should have been cloned.
If the research is about the effects of radiation on vampires, then what they should be doing is observing certain parts that have been irradiated.
Instead of placing these tissues together with the radioactive material.
Based on the current situation, it seems that the plan is to cause some kind of disease in these irradiated tissues and organs, and then transplant them into vampires.
Why not just conduct radiation experiments on vampires directly?
Or did they already test it before and find that the overall radiation was not good, so they adopted the current experimental method?
Unfortunately, the on-site experimental log was incomplete, containing only recent records.
After sending all the research records from the site to Changying Island through the program created by Qian Sui, Gao Ang left the place.
Following the same pattern, Gao Ang copied the data from the other laboratories as well, and finally headed towards the place where the sound was coming from.
That's the deepest part of the fortress, about 80 meters below the ground.
Looking at the stone gate in front of him, which was covered with all sorts of strange symbols, Gao Ang sighed inwardly.
"Where did you learn this from? Making such a secretive thing in your own home..."
He activated his X-ray vision and took a look. There was no one behind the door. Inside, apart from a few old fogies lying in coffins, there was no one else.
In that case, Gao Feng won't hold back.
With the full force of the field activated, all movement within a 10-meter radius of the stone chamber was completely blocked.
He raised his right foot and kicked it towards the stone door.
Gao Ang felt that this desolate place wasn't worth his time; at most, he'd lose a foot.
With a loud thud, the stone door shattered.
However, Gao Long's leg got stuck in the door with a hole in it.
"Damn it, my attempt to show off failed."
They were so focused on showing off that they didn't consider that the door was half a meter thick and was the kind of concrete, lead-plate, stone door designed to withstand nuclear explosions.
It wasn't as hard as his leg, but it was still very sturdy and had good resilience, so it didn't break apart.
So, he stood there awkwardly in a one-legged stance, looking utterly pathetic.
"who?"
"Which idiot?"
"Didn't you know to report it in advance?"
Several voices came from the stone door with a hole in it. Gao Ang curled his lip and said, "Your grandpa's here, hurry up and welcome him!"
The old fogies woke up, and he quickly smashed the stone door to pieces with both hands and feet.
It would be so embarrassing and damaging to his image if they saw this.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
"..."
A sound of a coffin lid being pushed open rang out. Gao Ang counted them; there were four coffins in total, in four colors: yellow, green, red, and purple. However, only three of the coffins were moving. The old man in the last yellow coffin was still pretending to be dead and didn't make a sound.
However, his breathing rate and heart rate were clearly gradually recovering and increasing, perhaps he was observing the situation?
Indeed, judging from the specifications of his coffin, it should be the highest, indicating his status should also be the highest, so he should be the last to appear.
The space was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Although there were several coffins, there was no putrid or foul smell; instead, there was a pleasant, unique fragrance.
With night vision, the images of the three old men who had gotten up were clearly visible to Gao Feng.
Like the color of the coffin, the clothes worn by these three old immortals were green, red, and purple respectively, which looked strange.
As the three old men got up, the lights in the stone chamber came on. They weren't too bright; in fact, they were rather dim, which suited the atmosphere of the stone chamber perfectly.
Gao Ang saw the bewilderment in their eyes and couldn't help but feel a surge of smugness: You bastards, are you confused now? You can't see me, can you?
In the event of a space collapse, all physical, chemical, and even other phenomena cease to occur.
Light cannot be transmitted normally, and neither can sound waves, unless Gao Gao is willing to make an opening, such as when he sends a message.
So the three old fogies saw nothing but the direction of the main entrance. The space was strange, like ripples on a calm surface of water.
"Who are you? You're acting suspiciously. Do you even know where you are?" the old man in green asked first.
As soon as the question was asked, the three old men's demeanor suddenly changed dramatically.
The aura of someone in a superior position is on full display.
Moreover, their originally withered bodies gradually became fuller and rounder. If they were described as skin and bones when they first woke up, they became as strong as oxen in just a few minutes.
"That's interesting. What kind of technology is this?"
Gao Ang ignored them, but was particularly curious about what had happened to them.
Within his full-force field, the changes occurring within the three old men nearly caused him to lose his composure.
The originally shriveled cells suddenly swelled up as if they had been recharged.
There are multiple factors that cause cells to swell up.
One of them was an unknown nutrient solution inside their coffin, which was similar in composition to the blood core solution that Lillian had showered with before, and even more refined.
Another factor is their coffin lids, which Gao Feng hadn't paid much attention to before, as he had focused his energy on the old guys.
He was startled when he saw it.
"Holy crap, are these all radioactive minerals?"
Materials containing radioactive minerals are already scarce and very precious.
These old fogies have been accumulating for who knows how many years, and they've even made four coffins.
Moreover, besides the material, the patterns on these coffin boards are also significant.
Similar to the principles of reflection and focusing, all the radiant energy emitted by these radiating materials is reflected back onto them.
In other words, the blood nucleus fluid is like battery fluid, and the radiated energy is similar to a high-power field force.
These old geezers' bodies are fucking nuclear batteries!
"Holy crap, I get it now! So those labs weren't working on nuclear radiation adaptation, they were modifying these vampires' bodies to make them adapt to nuclear radiation and use it as a power source!"
Gao Feng was stunned. He had to admire the persistence of these old fogies and the scientific research capabilities of those wizards.
This guy is way above the average researcher.
The only downside is that these minerals with nuclear radiation properties are really rare.
If this becomes widespread, perhaps these people could actually unify the Yellow Star.
"Damn it, you bunch of lunatics, you really are lunatics!"
Gao Ang couldn't help but swear. These guys are walking sources of nuclear contamination!
No wonder those old guys were hiding in the deepest part of the place, and no wonder the stone door he smashed was made of both concrete and lead plates.
"Kid, no matter how you got in here or who you are, you're staying here today to keep us old folks company."
"Hehehe, I forgot to tell you, the moment you break through this stone door, you're doomed."
The old men didn't seem worried about themselves at all; instead, they were concerned for Gao Ang.
"Are you talking about this nuclear radiation? Sorry, it seems it's really not very useful to me."
Just to be on the safe side, Gao Ang still didn't reveal his true face.
Step by step, we cautiously explored our way forward.
Biob once said that the methods of wizards are unpredictable.
Gao Ang always felt that those unseen wizards would be even more disgusting than Robert. He had already been messed with by Robert once, and he absolutely could not repeat the same mistake this time.
Moreover, there's still one coffin lid that hasn't been moved, which is also an unknown.
The three old men stared intently at the high-rise building, showing no intention of getting up.
Gao Ang could also tell that it wasn't that they didn't want to get up, but rather that their bodies weren't fully recharging yet.
On one side was Gao Ling's cautiousness, and on the other side were the three old men's serious readiness.
"Damn it, am I being too cowardly?"
Muttering to himself, Gao Feng continued to reach forward.
When he reached the nearest coffin lid, which was two meters away, the old man inside moved first.
As the green immortal rose, the flying blood core fluid scattered everywhere.
Startled, Gao Feng quickly took a few steps back as a precaution and immediately returned to the vicinity of the gate.
The old man in green was somewhat incredulous that his all-out attack had missed.
Although he was much older, he could feel that he was now incredibly powerful, and he felt that he could kill a bull by simply charging into it.
“Stop, you are no match for me. How about we talk?” Gao Ang used an internationally recognized language.
"snort."
The old green-haired immortal snorted coldly and got up to attack again.
"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Do you have to resort to physical violence?"
Gao Ang didn't want to get close to him; the red liquid on the guy made him feel disgusted.
The way these things fell through the air, along with the various stench of blood in the air, made him want to vomit.
He effortlessly dodged the old man in green's punches and kicks, moving freely and gracefully through the ridiculously large underground space, occasionally uttering a sarcastic remark:
"Old man, you just woke up? Hurry up."
"You're so bad at this. You even call yourself a vampire. How embarrassing."
"You two, stop watching and come at me together!"
"Oh my, you actually did it! But there's something wrong with your teamwork. Are you two not from the same mother?"
The three old men were furious, wishing they could tear Gao Feng apart, but they hadn't even seen his face, let alone grabbed his clothes.
The three old men chased and played around for almost two minutes, but still didn't make direct contact.
"Enough, stop!"
Just then, an exceptionally deep voice came from the last coffin.
At the same time, the last yellow coffin lid finally gave way, and a hand emerged from inside, still sparsely covered with blood core fluid.
Compared to those three old geezers, these hands appeared much whiter and more delicate, with long, slender fingers that looked very much like a woman's hands.
But the voice sounds a bit off; it's clearly a man's.
The three old men, one by one, all stopped, and Gao Ang also stared at the last yellow coffin.
Once again, his worldview was shaken.
