The group had not rested all night, digging the tunnel nearly ten meters forward. When the sun rose in the morning, they finally reached the bottom of the safe house.
"Come and see what this is!" one person scrambled out of the tunnel, beckoning a few others standing at the entrance to join him.
The others followed him into the tunnel, crawling to its deepest point. The one who had called them raised his shovel and struck it against the ceiling twice.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal striking metal echoed back, clearly indicating that what lay above was not stone, but some kind of metallic material. The expressions on the faces of the others turned to surprise; they realized that the spot where the shovel had struck was likely the bottom of the safe house.
"I'll shine my phone light," one of them said, pulling out his phone and turning on the flashlight.
Soon, a blinding beam of white light pierced through the previously dark tunnel. The person aimed the light at the ceiling, and all eyes focused intently on that spot.
"What is this?"
Instead of revealing what they had imagined to be the floor of the safe house, the light illuminated a massive disc that appeared to be a vertical horn shape. Inside this disc were numerous mechanical parts, their purpose unclear.
The group began discussing what their next step should be.
"Why don't we smash this disc open? Maybe we can directly access the room above from there."
"Yeah, we’re right beneath that room; this disc might be part of it."
Having made up their minds, they started swinging their shovels, striking the disc repeatedly. The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out loudly.
Meanwhile, inside the safe house, Lu Xiaoran sat at a table enjoying breakfast.
He extended his left hand and conjured a glass of fresh milk, raising it to his lips just as he was about to take a sip.
Beep, beep, beep.
From the drawer of the nearby table came a sound reminiscent of an alarm clock.
Lu Xiaoran felt a bit puzzled. He set down the milk and walked over to pull open the drawer. Inside, the source of the incessant noise turned out to be the control panel for the Aerospace Engine.
This Aerospace Engine had been installed at the bottom of his safe house to ensure that he could fly away with the entire structure in case of an emergency. Now, the sudden alarm was quite perplexing to Lu Xiaoran.
He picked up the control panel and examined it closely, finally noticing in the upper left corner the reason for the alarm.
Your engine equipment is currently being violently dismantled.
Reading this alert, Lu Xiaoran scratched his head thoughtfully. Could it be that those villagers had come knocking again?
He hadn't checked the surveillance footage in days. Ever since he had used a submachine gun to take out a few people, those villagers had been considerably quieter, no longer daring to loiter in front of his house.
