Chapter 361 The Bunker
The third year of the Pioneer Era, 2329 AD.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Luo Congmin stepped into the bunker. As the elevator slowly descended underground, Zhang Xiang, standing beside him, looked at the familiar scene around him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"The last time I hid in the bunker, I was with your father. That time, when we faced an assassination attempt by ETO, your dad was almost killed by a genetic weapon."
Upon hearing this, Luo Congmin couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Zhang Xiang, no wonder my brother and the others don't like you. You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics!"
Realizing he had made a slip of the tongue, Zhang Xiang quickly changed the subject.
"I have already counted all the stolen money that has been recovered. The main embezzlers have been mostly killed. The rest are just small fry who can't cause much trouble."
As if remembering something, Zhang Xiang added another sentence.
"By the way, Bi Yunfeng handled the cleanup work; he took the initiative to do it himself."
Upon hearing this, Luo Congmin narrowed his eyes slightly.
She paused for a few seconds before asking:
"Lin Xuan's part..."
"Oh, I've handed over Lin Xuan's part to Wang Miao and Dr. Ding Yi. They're not planning to come with us, and we don't really know where they went. But I didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, what happens next has nothing to do with us."
"But your father... Dr. Luo Ji, he doesn't plan to come with us. I'm afraid that after Ai AA takes over the Earth Alliance, it might be detrimental to him."
Luo Congmin frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his resolve and shook his head.
"That's not something we need to worry about. Since he's chosen not to leave, he must have other plans."
The elevator quickly reached the bottom, and contrary to what I had imagined, the entire bunker was quite spacious.
The moment the metal door was pulled open, two soldiers encased in exoskeleton armor, who had been waiting for a long time, saluted Luo Congmin in unison.
Luo Congmin nodded in acknowledgment, and then the group continued deeper into the bunker.
Along the way, squads of armed soldiers passed by them, including not only infantrymen in powered armor, but also light and heavy tanks and various landing ships.
“Bunker 217 is an underground military fortification built on the site of the original Los Angeles ruins. Ever since we discovered the location of the [key] in Los Angeles, this bunker has been secretly built under the instructions of Dr. Ding Yi. Although it took less than a year, the basic supporting facilities are all in place.”
As Zhang Xiang explained, he led Luo Congmin deeper into the bunker. He was in charge of the construction of this bunker, which was designed to ensure the safety of certain political figures in times of crisis.
In addition, it was also to conceal the importance of the [key].
Although the Academy of Sciences has yet to provide a reasonable explanation for the "key," explaining the purpose of this massive underground structure and who built it.
Humanity's exploration of the Earth's crust has never ceased, yet the discovery of the "key" at this critical juncture is somewhat perplexing.
It would be unreasonable to say that this has nothing to do with the so-called six Earths.
Unfortunately, the Earth Alliance knows very little about the other Earths and cannot make any predictions. So, they have been trying to contact Lin Xuan for some time now.
After all, Lin Xuan is the only person who knows about the situation on the other planets. No matter what the future holds, all Luo Congmin can do right now is to preserve the metal building as much as possible. What to do next will have to wait until Lin Xuan returns before they can be discussed.
However, Luo Congmin was never one to sit idly by and wait for death. She actually thought of another way to actively establish contact with other Earths.
However, this approach carries significant risks for her and the Lin faction behind her.
But it was all worth it.
Just then, Luo Congmin's communicator rang, and a coded telegram from the Dilian Building was forwarded to her.
Your Excellency the President:
According to reliable intelligence, the Star Ring Group reached a secret agreement yesterday with a messenger suspected to be from Earth One. While details of the agreement are unclear, it is speculated to involve strategic reinforcements. Please pay close attention to this matter in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Yu Weimin.
2329 1 Month 4 Day.
Upon hearing this, Luo Congmin's lips curled into a slight smile; her plan was progressing step by step in the direction she had initially envisioned.
