Wen Xishu heard this answer and smiled:
"I've lost my memory."
"That's actually quite normal. Did you encounter a strange phenomenon somewhere up ahead? Poor guy. Alright, we come from..."
Wen Xishu was really afraid of hearing the word "bunker." It was a strange thing; he hoped the people from the bunker could leave the bunker, but not as refugees.
"We come from the bunker," the person said.
Wen Xishu was somewhat deflated; he finally heard the word "bunker." He just thought about how, after striving so hard, countless legends and geniuses ended up with this result—humanity crawling underground, heading to Wind City...
He was more or less dejected. Although he was the owner of Wind City, to be honest, Wen Xishu no longer cared about fame because he was already a legend in the bunker.
"Anything else you want to ask?" the person urged.
Wen Xishu immediately asked:
"What about Old Principal Albert?"
This time, it was Wen Xishu's turn to be surprised. The person looked puzzled:
"Who is that? Sounds like a foreigner. There aren't many foreigners in the underground bunker," the man said.
Then he turned around and continued moving forward as the line ahead was no longer blocked.
It wasn't until the people behind urged him that Wen Xishu realized he should follow along.
Underground passage...
Underground bunker...
He suddenly understood. The bunker is a bunker, and the underground bunker is an underground bunker. These are two entirely different places.
Wen Xishu's eyes suddenly sparkled.
Dragon Hide Plan!
He remembered. He had heard of the underground bunker. After the Chosen Train mission ended, Wen Xishu received details of the Dragon Hide Plan from the train conductor, Wei Ping'an.
Humanity had retreated underground. The underground bunker was located one kilometer beneath the surface and could accommodate fifty thousand people.
This was part of the Dragon Hide Plan.
The other part was the creation of a god.
Wen Xishu immediately patted the man in front of him.
The man was quite approachable:
"What's up, brother? Any other questions? Go ahead, I'll definitely share all I know."
This left Wen Xishu a bit surprised. Was the person being overly friendly?
But soon, Wen Xishu remembered something Wei Ping'an had once said—
"Well... in our underground bunker, there is no class division. Here, everyone is almost equal, except for the management. Especially the newcomers."
Equality and mutual respect... is it really possible in the apocalypse? But judging by this person's attitude, Wen Xishu really felt the other party had no arrogance or defensiveness.
In fact, throughout the entire underground passage, the atmosphere was very friendly.
So friendly that Wen Xishu felt... this was a group united by mutual affection.
Yet Wen Xishu remembered that Wei Ping'an had said people in the underground bunker were obsessed with returning to the surface.
The Dragon Hide Plan was supported by the Libra. Both Libra and Aries had been mentioned in Wei Ping'an's words.
This plan wasn't simple, as it involved a ritual, a god-creation ritual.
"What happened to our god?"
"Oh, you remembered a bit! That's good, that's good, but don't think any further, brother. It's a sad story that you shouldn't ask about. The events that followed were tragic," the man's tone was melancholic, and he got choked up towards the end.
Wen Xishu said:
"I need to know, brother, I need to know."
The man sighed deeply:
"Alas, there was never any god. It was just a vessel. At first, the god was composed of our loved ones, warriors, and family members who merged into the god. It protected us, fought on the surface, and brought us food, preparing for the day we could leave the underground."
"But later, the ritual went awry, and the god began to become chaotic and volatile."
"The underground became dangerous, and we had to flee. Our loved ones, who had become part of the god, also lost their minds and became slaves to others."
Wen Xishu felt a chill run down his spine.
How similar this was to the Ark.
In the Ark, there was a hidden demigod, Sirius, whose powerful abilities could create various scenarios.
But in the end, Sirius became enslaved.
The Dragon Hide Plan, supported by Libra, revealed a ritual to the Longxia People, allowing them to sacrifice others to make a particular being stronger.
At that time, Wen Xishu was asked whether he would accept the ritual, the offerings from Ah Miao, Zheng Zai, Xiaojin, Yue Yun, and Nissen, to become a higher being.
Wen Xishu refused.
Others refused as well.
But the plan didn't stop. The Chosen Train continued to select talents, constantly searching for sacrifices to create a god.
A god who could lead the underground bunker and bring the Longxia People back to the surface.
Undoubtedly, this plan could indeed create an extremely powerful being.
Possibly reaching the level of a constellation.
But now, this god had suddenly lost its own will and become a slave to someone else.
This made Wen Xishu feel how similar it was to Sirius.
One was an apocalyptic avoidance plan from the Free State, ultimately becoming a slave to Pisces.
The other was an apocalyptic avoidance plan from Longxia, also becoming a slave to someone.
Was it Pisces? Or Libra? Or something else?
Wen Xishu once again thought of An Rongzai.
This Demon King of Jicheng once said: Beneath the deep sea, there are many bigger fish hiding. If you become strong enough, you'll attract the attention of these big fish, eventually being devoured.
