The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 2044 - 2043: Descent Underground

Knowing Zhang He was anxious, Ling Feng didn’t say anything, and followed him out of the command center, then to the equipment room.

Seeing the astronaut-like suits placed here, Ling Feng asked, "Have any of your people gone down?"

"Yes, but these suits can only last ten minutes, and that stone coffin emits a mysterious energy that people can’t endure for long. After a few minutes, they’ll feel severe headaches, so our people couldn’t get close before having to retreat," Zhang He replied.

"Alright, hearing this, I’m even more interested!"

Ling Feng nodded, then looked at Zhang He: "I must tell you, helping with such a big task, you have to remember my kindness!"

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I can even put you on a pedestal!"

Zhang He, somewhat impatient, pushed him directly in front of the protective suits.

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and then started putting on the suit.

While dressing, he asked, "By the way, what is this place?"

"Haven’t I told you?"

Zhang He was busy pulling up his zipper, and raised his head upon hearing this.

"I’ve asked you before, but you always brushed it off, never told me!" Ling Feng said.

"Oh, okay."

Zhang He nodded and then laughed: "This is underground at Longyuan, ten kilometers down."

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was taken aback, suddenly recalling some stories he’d heard before about underground Longyuan, but those were mere casual hearsay, and now he barely remembered!

He didn’t ask further, only rolled his eyes: "You really know how to keep a secret!"

"Discipline, it’s all about discipline!"

Zhang He chuckled.

After putting on the protective suit, before putting on the helmet, he said to Ling Feng again: "Although it’s all up to you, if there really is danger, don’t get too close, wait until we’ve fully explained via radio before taking action!"

"I know, I’m not that foolish!"

Ling Feng said, and immediately put on the helmet.

With the protective suit on, they passed through a gate, then entered a parallel moving teleportation device, and after two security checks, they arrived in front of a giant machine.

"This is our independently developed drilling machine. You will be going down from here in a bit."

The protective suit was soundproof, so Zhang He spoke to Ling Feng through the intercom system.

"Remember to buy me a drink when I get back, just returned from the Moon, now coming to help you!" Ling Feng said.

Zhang He chuckled awkwardly: "Alright, alright, absolutely!"

After a few words, the drilling machine opened a hatch, and Ling Feng stepped inside.

Before the door closed, Zhang He reminded again: "By the way, remember it’s downward, you might feel weightless, don’t trip!"

"Enough with the nags!"

Ling Feng said.

He was now inside an elevator leading underground, and after the door closed, the machine emitted an electronic sound as a reminder, then Ling Feng felt his body lighten.

As he began descending, Ling Feng remembered a question, then asked: "Hey Zhang He, with such depth, how long does it take to reach the bottom?"

"Very quickly, just three hours!" Zhang He said.

"Damn!"

Ling Feng was speechless upon hearing this: "Can’t it be faster? Even airplanes have a speed of six hundred kilometers per hour, here it’s underground, why so slow?"

"Too fast and the machine can’t withstand it, you don’t want it to break halfway and drop from hundreds of kilometers up, right?" Zhang He said.

"Fine, you win!"

Ling Feng was resigned, knowing he didn’t ask clearly beforehand, and now, what was the point of complaining?

He could only wait until returning to get back at Zhang He.

Once accustomed to the descent, Ling Feng felt nothing, and then sat on the ground, patiently waiting.

Time passed slowly, and Ling Feng was getting restless sitting there, suddenly feeling the elevator slowing down.

He immediately stood up and asked: "Zhang He, have we arrived?"

"....."

There was no sound in the headset.

After asking several more times, there was still no response, which left Ling Feng puzzled.

But the elevator had stopped, so he didn’t ask further, quietly waiting for the elevator door to open, revealing the environment outside.

With the lights on, there was no need to unfold Divine Sense, and after observing the outside environment, Ling Feng quickly stepped out of the elevator.

Knowing time was short, he briskly walked ahead, quickly reaching the edge of a cliff.

Standing there, he could see a massive Abyss, with several chains extending to the opposite side, and in the center of the chains, a huge black stone box was suspended.

Clearly, to cross the chains to reach the other side, one must pass by the stone box.

And it emitted strong energy radiation making people uncomfortable, leaving Zhang He at a loss.

Ling Feng arrived at the chains, and through the helmet’s lens, saw the chains were actually carved from stone, which amazed him.

Achieving this craftsmanship, and a million years ago, is truly incredible.

Time was short, and Ling Feng didn’t know how long the protective suit could withstand the pressure and heat, so he immediately walked onto the chains, heading towards the box!

Just a few steps in, Ling Feng felt a powerful sense of pressure!

However, this feeling was strong, but not enough to stop his advance.

So Ling Feng quickly reached the front of the box.

Unbeknownst to him, in the command center, everyone watching the only active camera feed held their breath.

As Ling Feng arrived, the radiation levels spiked, immediately cutting off communication, leaving only one camera operational, the rest all lost signal.

Zhang He intended to inform Ling Feng to retreat, but couldn’t reach him!

Now sending someone down would be too late, so they could only watch.

Upon seeing Ling Feng unharmed, directly reaching the stone box, everyone was stunned!

"Is this even a human being?"

Even Zhang He couldn’t help but utter. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

With radiation levels several times stronger than usual, resisting this energy, he’s truly formidable!

The energy affects humans but has little impact on the protective suit.

So long as Ling Feng could endure it, he still had a chance to open the box.

But as everyone held their breath observing, they realized Ling Feng hadn’t immediately attempted to open the box, but circled around it several times.

Time ticked away, and Zhang He was sweating with anxiety.

He only wished Ling Feng would quickly open the box to see what’s inside, and if it’s too dangerous, throw it into the Abyss below!

But Ling Feng hesitated, and with more delays, his protective suit might fail!
