Chapter 401: Entering the Shelter

These animals were all modified in complementary ways, constantly making up for their deficiencies.

This made him feel that the people in the company were truly insane; how could there be such a thing as immortality? Just thinking about it felt absurd. Who knows how long these lunatics had persisted.

Not long after, it probably took a little over an hour to cover a thousand kilometers, and the group of three easily arrived near the shelter.

They didn’t encounter any accidents on the way, nor did they run into any giant flying animals, which Liang Yu found quite strange.

However, Liang Yu didn’t think much of it; encountering them or not encountering them was all the same.

At this moment, the three stood less than a kilometer to the side of the shelter. Through their mechs, they could easily see the situation outside the shelter.

The two sisters could hardly conceal their excitement in their voices, and then asked Liang Yu if he had any combat plans or anything of the sort.

Liang Yu’s mouth twitched at the question. Combat plan? What was that?

Liang Yu didn’t have such a thing at all, nor did he need one.

Although the one-man army might not be enough in the Underground World, it was still a dominant presence here.

So, Liang Yu improvised a simple combat plan for them.

“It’s simple. I’ll go over and lure them out first, and then you two can play it by ear.”

Mu Yunxi didn’t understand Liang Yu very well, so she didn’t notice anything amiss.

However, Lan Ling, as his intimate companion, naturally detected the trick, but seeing the excited Mu Yunxi, she didn’t expose him. The two had a tacit understanding.

According to the so-called ‘combat plan,’ Liang Yu controlled the one-man army and went alone to the towering gate of the shelter.

The resting giant lizards merely raised their eyes and glanced indifferently at the suddenly appearing Liang Yu, showing no reaction at all.

For a moment, Liang Yu had an illusion that these giant lizards were just a bit larger in size, and their tails just had an extra barbed stinger, posing no real threat.

The same thought also appeared in the minds of the two women. Had they known, the one-man army controlled by Liang Yu had entered their territory. Normal animals would attack Liang Yu, but they didn’t. They merely glanced and then chose to ignore him.

Liang Yu then took out a bloody, fresh pork chop from his backpack, threw it forward, and it landed heavily on the ground.

The smell of fresh blood quickly spread, and that rich, fishy scent rapidly permeated the air.

The mutated giant lizards, which had been lazily sprawled on the ground, instantly widened their small eyes when they caught the scent of blood. Their originally sluggish bodies immediately began to stir.

The largest mutated giant lizard, leading the pack, suddenly stood up from the highest point, leaped to the ground, its thick limbs leaving deep imprints in the earth.

It raised its head and let out a low roar, its voice making the surrounding leaves rustle.

The other giant lizards also responded, their roars echoing in this area, one after another.

Their tails twitched restlessly, and their sharp claws scratched vigorously at the ground, as if eager to rush towards the source of the blood.

Their tongues darted out from time to time, rapidly sensing the direction of the scent in the air.

Soon, they pinpointed their target and began to rush towards the blood, their steps heavy and fast.

Every step they took made the ground tremble.

Looking at the menacing mutated giant lizards, Liang Yu was quite satisfied. This was more like it; otherwise, he would have thought the giant lizards were vegetarians.

After the plan succeeded, Liang Yu immediately disengaged and flew into the sky, but he overlooked one thing: the one-man army had just touched the pork chop, and its hands also had the smell of blood.

The rest was left to Lan Ling and Mu Yunxi to happily play with them. As for safety, Liang Yu didn’t care at all; his main body wasn’t inside the mech, so he wouldn’t feel bad no matter how many mechs were damaged.

Then Liang Yu came to the left side of the shelter, instinctively wanting to pass through the wall, but he directly crashed into it.

“Dong!”

A muffled thud was heard between the shelter wall and the one-man army.

Liang Yu looked around, and only then did he suddenly remember that he was not physically present.

This shelter looked exceptionally sturdy, and there were no handy tools in the surrounding environment. Trying to enter without damaging it was a tricky problem.

The surroundings were dead silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the ruins.

On the side of the shelter, he found a few small ventilation shafts on the wall. The grilles of the ventilation shafts were very fine; he could barely fit a finger through, making it almost impossible to enter that way.

Liang Yu frowned, contemplating methods of entry.

Time passed by minute by minute; he knew that every second of delay could make the situation inside more critical.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a device on the roof of the shelter.

It was something like an antenna, perhaps connected to the shelter’s internal system.

Liang Yu’s eyes lit up, thinking he might find a breakthrough point here.

So Liang Yu flew up again, reaching the top of the shelter, and indeed found a place where he could connect. However, after Liang Yu connected the one-man army to it, his face darkened. There was no reaction at all; there was no electricity in this shelter, so he couldn’t connect.

Liang Yu then made an excuse about going to the restroom. The moment he stepped out the door, he went beside the one-man army and directly brought the one-man army into the shelter.

Since he couldn’t get in without damaging it, he would just skip the process. Then Liang Yu returned to the cockpit.

After entering the top floor of the shelter, Liang Yu scanned his surroundings. From the current environment, it seemed the top floor had not been visited for a long time, and there was a lack of human presence all around.

Liang Yu walked down the stairs, not at all worried about triggering any traps.

His main purpose was to confirm if there were still living people in this shelter and the identity of the person who sent him the message.

But unfortunately, he searched all the way down and was currently on the second floor. Although he hadn’t found anyone, judging by the traces left on the second floor,

Someone had been living here not long ago, and the person should have left no more than a week ago.

This discovery made Liang Yu begin to find it interesting.

And even more interesting, when he walked to the stairwell leading to the first floor, he found that the door had been completely welded shut.

That’s right, the door was welded shut.

He immediately turned around and went back to the second floor, casually activating the sonar detection.

What was hidden on the second floor that made them abandon such a large living space and even weld the door shut, cutting off the passage between the first and second floors?

So far, walking down these floors, Liang Yu had only found some human bones.
