Chapter 690: Open the Door, My Friends! We’re Here to Send You a Warm Greeting! Part 1
Heaven’s Origin.
The newly transplanted trees outside the small Hope Village were still covered in some snow that had not fallen.
The tree surrounded the village walls and extended into the village, forming a path to the underground shelter. A tree path had been paved, and the bare gravel roads finally had a touch of decorative beauty.
The buildings of the small village were no more than five meters tall.
Many more prefabricated houses had been built to serve as various public infrastructures in the village for the past few days.
However, for the sake of stability and subsequent expandability in the future, the construction of the buildings had been strictly kept within the range of five meters without exceeding it in the slightest.
The good trend would allow the village’s scale to eventually expand and develop to the size of a town and accommodate more residents in just another three to five months, making the territory the first large-scale territory in the New World if no accidents were to happen.
Unfortunately, the rapid development trend was abruptly stopped on the third day after the snow disaster.
This was caused by the sudden appearance of an unfitting four-story building four kilometers west of the village entrance.
Compared with the ordinary and simple buildings in the village, the mysterious building was gigantic. The villagers were surprised as they stood before it and inspected it curiously. None of them had the words to describe the astonishment they felt inside their hearts.
“What the actual f*ck? We haven’t even figured out the origin of the twenty-plus strangers who suddenly appeared, and now we have a huge building? How are we going to handle all this?
“Could this possibly be a trap by foreign territories?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Yuan, the assistant head of the resource department, stood silently in the front row of the crowd as he inspected the building and very rarely cursed out.
It was apparent how shocked he was about the building in front of him by how he cursed out in his native accent.
The building was completely different from an ordinary residential building.
The four-story building’s exterior concrete wall seemed to be more than 10 meters thick. It was hard to determine how many layers of cement boards and other various solid materials had been used to build such solid and thick walls.
The dark gray paint finishing also gave certain clues about the building.
With the noon sun glaring down from the sky, the building’s painting finish reflected a very mysterious and gloomy atmosphere, which made it very chilling and concealed.
There was not a single signboard visible on the entire building that could help identify its origin or information.
On top of that, there were a pitiful amount of windows that added up to at most nine!
There was no way else to describe it except with one word...
Strange!
“Don’t tell me this is a f*cking bunker? Or is it some kind of Trojan horse?
“What if thousands of terrifying foreigners or monsters burst out from the building after we open the door?”
The appearance of the building was highly bizarre. Although it seemed to have weighed at least hundreds to thousands of tons, it landed on the ground without causing any commotion and not even a wave or sound.
This caused the villagers, including Li Hu, Chen Shen, Su Deben, and the others, not to dare get close to it for fear that they might fall into a possible trap.
Moments later.
Chen Shen carefully thought to himself as he walked around the building and listened to the discussion of the villagers around him. Eventually, he waved his hand and instructed the soldiers to drive out Earth Tiger from the village. Follow current s on (F)ire
.
He gathered Su Deben, Li Hu, Shen Ke, and the other leadership members.
The group hopped in the car and circled the building several times to inspect the difference between its four walls.
The front of the building looked very typical.
Apart from having very few windows and a very darkly painted door, at least there was an entrance to enter and an exit for the “people” inside to get out.
However, they began to find very strange things about the walls starting from the second side of the wall and the third side.
The two sides of the walls were firmly packed with cement boards. There were no holes for ventilation, nor was there even a tiny hole to peep outside that could be found.
The design had a massive ventilation flaw and would cause a big problem in the lighting inside the building.
As for the back side of the building...
There were also no windows, but there was a similar door painted very dark, just like the front.
The difference was the door in the back was slightly taller and wider than the one in the front.
The group slightly estimated and concluded that It would not be a problem to drive the Earth Tiger into the building from the back door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why would someone build such a weird building?”
“Maybe he was paranoid and created a doomsday bunker?”
“What if it’s a military bunker that contains confidential secrets?”
“Perhaps it’s a biochemical research institute like Umbrella Corporation?
“...”
Word after word, all sorts of guesses began to form as they inspected more of the building’s details.
However, most of these guesses were conjectures unfounded by actual facts and were formed based on movies and s they had read on Earth.
Everyone glanced at each other in dismay, and no one dared to suggest a further plan to gather conclusive evidence to support their guesses.
“Let’s see... The shelter leader has only left for about five days, yet so many strange things had happened during this time.
“The coincidence is so d*mn freakish!”
The first thing that came to mind whenever they were in a pinch was their shelter leader, Su Mo.
A military general who led an army of thousands in battle like Su Deben had also somehow developed a dependency on Su Mo.
Nevertheless, it was reasonable.
They were faced with over twenty humans with no recollection of their past suddenly appearing in their territory, and it was so strange that they had no clue how to handle the situation.
To add to that, a sudden building descended out of nowhere, making them even more confused and helpless.
When Su Mo was around, the village and territory were free from chaos and maintained peace.
Yet, the moment he left, unexplainable things began to happen continuously in the village just within four to five days.
Thus, it was easy to understand such reliance on Su Mo.
