Chapter 101
As Han Xiao was repairing his vehicle, he was reflecting on the weaknesses that he had revealed in his previous battle .
His current fighting style heavily relied on his sniping abilities . The best tactic he employed was to use his shots to lure his opponents in . However, the speed of his movements was not yet up to standard; thus, he wanted to manufacture some small gadgets to increase his speed .
A mechanical leg seemed like a pretty good idea . However, Han Xiao felt that it was too bulky . Also, Han Xiao had gained new knowledge and experience to create gadgets that were more mobile .
Han Xiao was still trying to improve his fighting abilities . He wanted to create a robot army to provide him sufficient cover fire so that they could help mitigate his weakness, allowing him to fire at a relatively lower rate .
Since mechanical parts could be easily obtained by members of the mechanic class, Han Xiao could find the raw material and replace the missing parts easily .
Upon completing his repairs, Han Xiao drove the vehicle along the path, as directed by the radar coordinates, up to the entrance of Felonia . Instantly, he saw the trail of footsteps that disappeared along the edges of the cave . After a short moment of contemplation, he predicted that a group of wanderers had entered the cave .
If Han Xiao was an ordinary individual, he probably would have been worried that the valuables housed in the cave had been taken away by others . However, Han Xiao was also unique in his thinking . He felt that having others to explore the unknown territory first was in fact beneficial to him .
Han Xiao stood at the edge of the cave . He looked down and could see the distinct layers of rocks and cliffs . At the boundary between sunlight and darkness, Han Xiao could see a rusty metallic chain extending downward .
There are signs of mining on the rocks of the cliffs . There's a smell in the air… the smell of rust . I haven't explored this place before, so I should head down now .
Han Xiao grabbed all his gear, holding his torch in his mouth .
As he scaled down the rocky cliff, he shone his torch downward .
Nearer to the bottom, the sunlight gradually disappeared, and he could feel the curved edges of the rocks .
The sunlight disappeared quickly, and darkness enveloped the surroundings . The only source of light was the torchlight . The eerie atmosphere alarmed Han Xiao . He could feel a chill in his bones that was creeping toward his heart . He wanted to slow down his heart, which was thumping so quickly, so that he could ease the sense of nervousness within him .
After descending for about three minutes, the light from his torch finally hit the ground . At the bottom of the ravine was a dusty metallic floor . There were thick cobwebs in the tracks, and the place seemed like it had not been explored for a long time .
Han Xiao landed on the ground with a 'thud' . The pitch-black environment made the sound especially eerie and creepy .
The surroundings were specious and empty, and the light from the torch seemed like a lonely island in a sea of darkness . There was a mixture of sounds in the darkness, similar to the sound of his landing . That caught Han Xiao's attention .
After sweeping the area with his torchlight, Han Xiao found himself in a metallic corridor that had a design similar to a military base . There were reinforced concrete structures everywhere, and the walls were also caked in rust . There also seemed to be some weird bugs moving about on the walls .
The metallic flooring on the ground was covered with dust . A trail of fresh footsteps could be seen extending into the darkness . The footsteps probably belonged to the pilgrims who had arrived at the spot shortly before him
There probably some more compartments and spaces beneath the metallic floor .
Han Xiao pointed his torchlight in another direction and shone at his foot . He saw what was beneath him .
Below the hollow metallic flooring, there were countless dense red lights that seemed like they were emitted by the eyes of insects .
Holy shit!
Han Xiao could feel the tension in his head . He immediately dimmed the torchlight and marked out the bottom layer as a prohibited sector .
With that in mind, Han Xiao carefully followed the footsteps of the pilgrims forward . It was dead silent apart from the occasional faint sounds of crawling insects . However, if one tried to pick out these sounds individually, they would just disappear . It was very creepy and made Han Xiao uncontrollably nervous .
After walking for long while, a junction appeared in front of him . The footprints of the pilgrims led toward the path on the right .
While Han Xiao was in a dilemma over which path to take, he heard footsteps from the path on the right . He could see many people running toward him hysterically .
Han Xiao immediately moved to the other side of the junction . He switched off his torch and put on the night vision visor that Farian Company had provided .
"Run, quickly run!"
"A monster!"
