Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 407 - 58: The Underground Fortress

The one who always ends up washing the dishes after dinner is the one who ate the most.

Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Suoye were squatting in the kitchen, washing dishes.

When it came to literature, Tang Xiaojiu’s imagination had exceeded Tang Xian’s expectations to the extent that Tang Xian felt that a separate book could be published titled "Fox’s Eight Prevarications."

But in learning sign language, Tang Xiaojiu exhibited an astonishing talent.

In about half a month, Tang Xiaojiu was able to communicate with Tang Suoye.

Perhaps she really wanted to know what was on Tang Suoye’s mind.

All the people of Baichuan City were Tang Xiaojiu’s friends, but Tang Bingxiang, Tang Gazi, and Tang Suoye were, in Tang Xiaojiu’s view, the ones she got along with best.

Of course, Tang Xian and Qing JiuYu would have to be placed in a separate category.

Akasi and Tang Xian also had not given up on the matter of enabling Tang Suoye to speak again.

Qiao Shanshan had also checked, but could not find anything wrong.

Combined with the fact that Yuanwu Arkasi and Tang Suoye both had a deep hatred for the Evolution Zone—

Tang Xian had already scheduled the eradication of the Evolution Zone.

However, even Yuanwu did not know the true location of the Evolution Zone’s headquarters.

As a top experimental subject, Yuanwu’s memory was often in a state of chaos.

Akasi and Yuanwu got along very harmoniously.

It was like having another brother worth protecting.

Both had the exact same hair color and were the best-qualified experimental subjects.

However, Yuanwu did not possess his own memories.

He just clung to a name.

To find the Evolution Zone’s headquarters, Tang Xian could only ask Zhe for help.

Zhe and Lin Sen were very capable in gathering intelligence, and now that Zhe was the lord of the Pyramid, he had access to many resources.

Zhe was currently walking with Tang Xian in the subway station, preparing to explore the underground fortress.

When he saw the huge fortress gate, Zhe exclaimed:

"The defensive technology of ancient times actually reached such a level?" Zhe said.

Tang Xian led the way:

"In fact, if it weren’t for that unknown catastrophe, perhaps, after hundreds of years of development, human technology wouldn’t have been much inferior to that of the Pyramid."

"If you put it that way... it’s indeed possible," Zhe curiously observed his surroundings.

He was holding a searchlight, and only with difficulty could he make out the structures of the fortress underground.

The interior design of the fortress was similar to that of an ancient prison.

Each room was very small, which was to accommodate as many people as possible.

Therefore, some of the living areas were communal spaces.

It was like a tower.

The first and second floors were residential zones, and the third floor was a communal activity area with shopping malls, sports halls, and dining spaces.

Then the fourth and fifth floors were residential again, with the sixth floor once more serving as a communal activity area.

From some of the signs on each level, it was evident that these layers were akin to different areas of a city.

This was a tower spiraling downwards.

The closer to the core of the earth one got, the hotter it naturally became. This problem was addressed by massive cooling pumps built into the spiral structure.

Zhe marveled at the ingenious design of the architecture by the ancients, saying:

"This bears a clever resemblance to the design of the Pyramid! While it is not as sophisticated or well-manufactured as the Pyramid, it’s like a simplified version. If it had been continuously improved over hundreds of years, perhaps a real underground Pyramid could have been built."

"Indeed, but humanity chose the heaven-sent Pyramid, abandoning their own designs," Tang Xian said.

"Perhaps that was unavoidable. According to the records you left behind, at that time the surface was full of mining area creatures and mechanical bodies resembling judgment knights. Many cities were destroyed, and the Pyramid provided shelter for humanity. Once someone entered, the herd mentality would amplify dozens of times in the face of disaster."

Zhe could understand such betrayal.

Tang Xian nodded, acknowledging the sense in Zhe’s words.

In such an environment, the discourse of Jing Jian might indeed have been difficult to persuade.

He led Zhe to the fifteenth floor.

Unlike the cycle of residential and activity areas on the previous floors, from the fifteenth to the seventeenth floor, was the core area of the underground fortress.

The huge power generation facility was there.

Upon seeing that an entire floor was dedicated to power generation equipment, Zhe once again marveled at the clever design of the ancients in the face of an apocalypse.

"This power station, from its appearance, while it cannot compare to the energy-mining facilities inside the Pyramid, is sufficient to power this city as long as it can be properly repaired and put back into use."

The ancient methods of power generation were different from the Pyramid’s energy mining—they could utilize wind, hydro, nuclear, and solar power. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

The massive power generation equipment beneath Baichuan City was more like a technological intersection, representing the peak of technology of that era.

"If this city had electricity, much of the data saved in electronic devices could be utilized. Although we don’t know if those devices are still operable, at least some of them should be functional," Zhe said.

Tang Xian nodded and responded:

"That’s the reason I wanted you to find people. The Holy Land’s fortress has had it easy for many years; there should still be some people who are adept at academic research. I need around a hundred of these people."

"That many? It will be costly. These people are the elite of the fortress," Zhe said with a bitter smile.

"In fact, many people don’t understand why knowledge can change fate, because they don’t know that, although it seems there are many people in the world, only about 0.05% are scientists.

But this 0.05% of people play a role in advancing the progress of the era amounting to about 40% of the whole of humanity, and this ratio is continually increasing, the reason being that the higher the technology of the current era, the higher the value of these people."
