Chapter 989 The Treasure Buried Deep
Several boats with the NAC symbol quietly drifted in the middle of Poyang Lake . Soldiers wearing kinetic skeletons stood on the boat and carefully observed their surroundings .

On the wasteland, places with water are always more dangerous than places without water . Behind every plant could be a Mud Crab . A Mud Crab covered with heavy armor could match the deadliest mutant – the Death Claws .
Wearing a black lacquered power armor, Jiang Chen stood at the bow and looked into the bottomless lake .
Ripples disturbed the clear water . If he didn’t receive strong evidence, he wouldn’t believe such an amazing secret would be buried under this lake .
Two thousand scientists with extensive research fields . This “treasure” is crucial for Jiang Chen .
After a while, a Knight walked behind him and bowed respectfully .
“Observers have scanned used the life wave detection device . There is no trace of Mud Crab activity in the area . Our people are ready to go . ”
“Then let’s go now . ” Jiang Chen ordered .
“Yes!”
Hu Cheng saluted . His fist slamming on the steel armor made a clear sound .
Under the leadership of the NAC knight, five soldiers wearing amphibious kinetic skeletons quickly gathered at the bow and jumped into the lake .
Jiang Chen stood in the bow and waited quietly until the underwater team confirmed the safety of the lake, and then stepped into the lake .
As a single armor that can cross the nuclear radiation area, the average depth of only ten meters is nothing for the T3 Power Armor . It didn’t take long before Jiang Chen’s feet stood on the soft lake bottom .
A few mutated fishes swam to him and began to bite at the steel armor . Jiang Chen waved his hands and shooed these self-humiliating mutants away before moving toward the location marked on the holographic screen .
Unlike most fallout shelters, this fallout shelter was not documented . The circular entrance had a dimeter of ten meters . It was not embedded in the wall but placed at the bottom of a lake .

Time did not leave any rust on its body . The bright alloy made it seem like it was only dropped here yesterday . In the center of this giant round door, T7 was painted .
“This is it . ”
A string of bubbles squeezed out from the gap in the knight’s armor . Jiang Chen looked at the knight and nodded . He took out the ruby pendant and walked toward the center of the steel door .
“Let me do it . ” Hu Cheng hurriedly tried to stop the general .
As a knight of the NAC, how could he let the general make risky moves?
However, Jiang Chen just shook his head .
“It’s over . The possibility of traps being here is low . ”
Fallout Shelter 118 already joined under the banner of NAC . Lu Yihua has no reason to lie .
Only graves need to have traps protecting them . If the purpose of this fallout shelter is to send knowledge and hope to the future, then the person who built the shelter has no reason to put weapons in it .
In the center of the steel giant door, just as Lu Yihua described, there was a circular print engraved into it .
Jiang Chen put the end of the pendant inside and gently rotated it half a turn to the right .
The ruby embedded in this pendant was the key to opening the door . The ruby had been specifically designed and processed so that over ten gigabytes of passwords could be engraved within it . This encryption method made it so that even a quantum computer’s computing power would not be sufficient in deciphering all the passwords .
The current followed the silver disc and passed through the ruby .
A string of bubbles formed from the edge of the round steel door and pushed toward the surface .

With a slight tremor, the giant door slowly began to sink .
“It’s not quite right here… General, please come out first . ” Hu Cheng looked around nervously and immediately stood in front of Jiang Chen . Five soldiers wearing amphibious kinetic skeletons also nervously raised their underwater rifles and watched for possible threats .
“Don’t be nervous, it’s just an elevator . ” Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head . He pressed down on the muzzle and indicated for everyone to remain calm .
With the steel giant door slowly sinking, after less than half a minute, the giant door that originally protruded onto the surface became a deep pit . When the giant door sunk to a certain height, the entire giant door clanked into place like a bullet being loaded .
The roof of the deep pit began to converge, like a dome, covering everyone’s head and sealing the exit .
When the dome was completely closed, the signal light in the deep pit turned on, illuminating the entire space .
Then, the water level began to fall . After the water was completely pumped out, a door formed on the vertical well wall .
“It seems like this is not a door, but an elevator . ”
Hu Cheng examined his surrounding and discovered that he was surrounded by steel walls . He put down his rifle and muttered to himself before grabbing the tactical rifle around his waist .
Jiang Chen had already stepped in front of the open door .
But just as he was about to cross the door, he stopped and frowned .
On the open iron gate, he saw a familiar sign .
He gently touched the raised badge, the soft titanium on his fingertips followed the engraving and swept away the dust . If he remembers correctly, the company that owns this trademark has a famous name .
“East Asia Heavy Industries…” Jiang Chen muttered .

“What’s wrong?” In muffled steps, Hu Cheng walked in beside him . He raised his flashlight and pointed it into the darkness behind the door . But other than a narrow corridor, he couldn’t see anything else .
“Where is that pendant? Give it to me . ” Jiang Chen turned and looked at Hu Cheng .
“Roger!”
Hu Cheng respectfully nodded, stepped back to the center of the giant circular door, kneeled down and removed the pendant out of the groove .
After taking the pendant, Jiang Chen waved to soldiers behind him to follow him into the corridor .
Under the leadership of Hu Cheng, the six men guarded Jiang Chen .
Soon, the group came to the end of the corridor .
Jiang Chen took out the key again and swept it on a card reader on an alloy door .
After reading the password in the ruby, the alloy door slowly opened . Then, cold lights gradually began to turn on, illuminating the space inside . Seeing the marvelous scene behind the door, Jiang Chen’s pupils gradually widened, revealing his amazement .
Just like Terracotta Warriors were in the giant space, there were about two thousand oval-shaped hibernation chambers . The white shell looked like a large goose egg wrapped by arm-sized pipelines connected to the central main control computer and the life support device .
This is not a fallout shelter, but a time machine .
From the past decades to the future . It carried the seed of civilization .
“Wait for me here . ”
With inexplicable excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen moved the nearest giant egg . He reached out and pressed the button that said “End Hibernation . ”
A neat seam formed on the “shell” and cold white mist spewed out of the gap .
Just like sputum being reborn, the outer shell of the hibernation chamber slowly opened, revealing a girl lying in the shell with skin as fine as jade .
However, when he saw the girl’s face, his excited mood suddenly extinguished like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head .
Suddenly, he thought of something, he jerked his head up and looked at the central computer .
This familiar device…
As if to confirm his guess, the dark display lit up and a suited man appeared in the center of the screen .
He was sitting in an office chair and behind him was the skyline of Wanghai from before the war .
The expressionless face seemed to state his lack of interest in anything .
“Hello, future friends… From your expression, it seems that you have seen me from somewhere before?”
