Chapter 25 Preliminary Exploration of the Ruins

About two hours later, the car arrived in a suburb.

Although this place is still within the scope of the City of Dawn, it is a relatively sidelined location, with no residents and looks desolate.

A little further away, you can see a endless high wall, which belongs to the city of dawn.

"It's a pity that the sowing season is over now, otherwise there would be a lot of food here, green and beautiful."

Casey explained with a smile.

“???”

Duke had a question mark on his head.

There is still season for sowing? Can't we farm all year round? In his impression, there is only the difference between busy and idle time in the year. Different crops are planted in different seasons, and land is rarely abandoned.

But farming is a science after all, Duke doesn't understand it and dares not ask more questions.

The car slowly drove into a three-story building.

There were many bodyguards outside the building holding guns, and it was obvious that Casey attached great importance to this place.

“The ruins are underground.”

After getting off the car, Casey pointed at his feet.

Although Duke had some guesses, he was still surprised after getting the affirmative answer.

If nothing unexpected happens, this ruin is also a pre-war refuge.

"I heard that the ruins are all in the wilderness, why... "

Duke spoke curiously.

Casey looked at him with a smile and said:

"Do you think the City of Dawn existed from the beginning? Of course, it expanded little by little! The City of Dawn was just a small village and later grew stronger. One of the important reasons why everyone chose this place was because several ruins were found here. Through the excavation of the ruins, everyone gained a lot of benefits and attracted more and more people, which made the City of Dawn bigger and bigger."

"I see……"

"As for the ruins I bought, they are considered a small ruin, and they have been excavated for a long time. All the things left are things that cannot be taken away. As for those big ruins, even if they have been hollowed out, I can't afford them..."

While speaking, Casey took Duke to an elevator.

The elevator is very large, like a cargo and passenger service, with only two buttons inside, bottom and top.

After pressing "down", Casey smiled and said:

"Although this ruin has been almost discovered, the energy system inside has always existed. No one understands the principle of this thing. It is magical. It has been so long, and electricity still exists in the ruins... It would be great if we could figure out how this energy was made..."

After hearing Casey's words, the first thing Duke thought of was nuclear energy.

But nuclear energy will also be subject to the limitations of materials? After all, it has been more than a thousand years. Could it be that there are epoch-making materials?

While Duke was thinking about it, the elevator went down to the bottom floor.

Judging from this, the shelter is still very deep.

When the elevator door opened, Duke was a little surprised to see the situation in front of him.

It was not the kind he imagined, the birds sing and the flowers were fragrant, self-sufficient, like a small world, but rather the not-so-large connecting spaces dug out directly from the ground. Some places were reinforced concrete, while others were exposed even the stones.

"this……"

Isn’t this a cave?

"Are you shocked? It's not difficult to dig such a large space, but it's difficult to dig such a large space in such a deep underground. It's hard to imagine how humans did it before..."

Casey was a little complacent.

In order to buy this ruins, she also spent a lot of effort in addition to spending money.

This ruin looks full of security. The rich people in the city like this place the most.

“It’s really shocking…”

Duke naturally couldn't say he was a little disappointed, so he had to follow Casey's words and continue.

"Come on, I'll take you to visit!"

Casey pulled Duke in great enthusiasm to start the tour.

Although Duke was a little disappointed, it was a refuge after all, so it was still necessary to visit.

"This is probably the place to sleep, but I don't know why they have to sleep in this box, just like a coffin."

Casey pointed to a space in front of him that was about twenty square meters and shook his head in confusion.

Duke fell into silence when he saw the six things that looked like dormant poles.

The coffin? It's really similar.

"Are anyone found here? Or a corpse?"

Duke asked curiously.

"No, I heard that after they cracked this ruin, there was no one inside, not even a corpse, but it was normal. After all, it's been more than a thousand years, and even if someone is, he will definitely turn into ashes."

Casey said, shaking his head.

Her words seemed to make sense, but Duke always felt something was wrong.

Even if this is just a small refuge, it will definitely make people survive, even if it is frozen.

But according to Casey, there are no humans or human corpses here, which is a bit strange. Could it be that people spend so much manpower and material resources to build a shelter for fun?

Duke circled around one of the dormant pods, and there were a few lines of words on the dormant pods, in English.

[Atomic brand sleeping compartment, so you can use it with peace of mind and sleep with peace of mind! Order phone number 857...]

"This is a relic word, and not many people know it. After the old scholar's speculation, there should be a phone number behind it. As for what is ahead, I don't know..."

Casey's tone was a little regretful, and she was obviously curious about what these words mean.

Duke wanted to tell her that the previous sentence was actually an advertisement, but he finally held it back.

"Do you know how these things are used?"

Duke asked, pointing at the dormant pole.

Casey shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know, although this thing is still powered and looks like it can be used, it may require a password or something else to use it."

Casey seemed to remember something and continued:

"Actually, there were a few people here who were taken away by those who had excavated the remains before. They wanted to study how to use this thing, but once they were opened, they were scrapped and there was no way to study it..."

Duke nodded, and said that according to the layout he has seen, there should be several dormant pods here. The underground space is so precious that it is impossible to waste it. It turns out that several of them have been demolished.

There is a screen-like thing on these hibernation pods, which is about the size of a slap, and it looks like a fingerprint brush?

However, although this dormant cabin is advanced, it seems to be of little use at present. You can't put people in it and freeze them.

Of course, if you analyze this kind of dormant cabin technology, you may be able to make some achievements in the medical industry, but for Duke, this is still too far away. He is not a researcher, so he is not very interested in it.

"What's the best place to sleep? Come to Little Duke, I'll take you to see something else!"

Casey took Duke to a space of about 100 square meters. The space was separated by thick explosion-proof glass. Seeing the huge storage inside, Duke's pupils shrank.
