The thirty heroic-level altars often collaborate with each other on tasks, especially on the plane battlefield, where everyone must work together to fight against foreigners. Therefore, most hero altars are more like different squads in an army.
It is true that there will still be some competition, comparison or other small frictions between these different altars, but in general, everyone is still a warrior fighting for the future of the Shen clan. In the face of the great righteousness, personal grievances are secondary. .
Especially Altar No. 19 led by Francis. The altar owner's concept is similar to that of Zeus. As long as we are human beings, we are all fellows, and it is natural to help each other.
Therefore, when many altars are doing tasks, they hope to encounter the Nineteenth Altar. Regardless of their strength, the cooperation will be absolutely harmonious.
For example, now, thanks to the help of the Nineteenth Altar, the Twelfth Altar has finally found the entrance to the underground city.
The mechanism was in an inconspicuous place. A strong black man at the Nineteenth Altar squatted on the ground and tapped the ground rhythmically. After a while, with the sound of the mechanism running, a secret door opened on the ground and everyone got in. Finally, the secret door is closed.
The people responsible for controlling the secret door were a few soldiers in armor. They were very friendly when they saw the people at the Nineteenth Altar: "Sir Francis, you are finally back... eh? These are..."
The soldiers refer to the heroes of the Twelve Altar. Francis smiled and said: "They were my former comrades-in-arms. I thought they had been sacrificed long ago, but I didn't expect to find them when I went out to explore this time... These are all strange people who are not inferior to us in strength!"
Hearing what he said, several soldiers immediately stood in awe of the people at the Twelve Altar.
"Have you been here before?" Seeing that the Nineteenth Altar and the soldiers were so familiar, the Twelve Altar asked in a low voice.
"No..." A girl with curly hair and freckles whispered: "The altar has arranged our identities in advance. Now this underground city is managed by an organization called the Survival Society. We reincarnations are the Survival Society. Combatants sent out to investigate the situation and collect supplies... Of course, we are at a higher level than ordinary soldiers. Now that we have returned from the investigation, we will go back to the headquarters of the Survival Society to report and find out some information so that we can further complete the mission! "
"Survival meeting?" Ye Peng blinked: "Why don't we know this information?"
"Maybe it's because you don't have an altar leader..." The freckled girl shrugged: "Many things at the hero level require the authority of the altar leader."
"Is the altar master so useful?" Several newcomers looked at Lao Mo and began to complain about this useless acting altar master.
Under the machine door, there is a spiral staircase. After going down about two floors, you come to a relatively wide place. It looks like a huge elevator room with several simple elevator entrances. Dozens of heavily armed soldiers and many military dogs were stationed in the elevator, conducting a simple inspection on the heroes.
The purpose of the inspection is mainly to see if they are marked by bugs, such as liquid with a special smell, or simply have bugs hiding on their bodies. After all, this is the last stronghold of mankind. If bugs discover it, mankind will be completely finished!
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with the heroes. After passing the inspection, they took the elevator and began to head down to the lower level.
The elevators here are very big. There are 28 people in total at the 19th Altar. Including the 12th Altar, there are nearly 40 people in total. Among them are overweight guys like Lei Lei, but only one elevator can accommodate them. Everyone, falling steadily.
After probably going down a few dozen meters, the elevator door opened and everyone came to a more spacious room where hundreds of soldiers were stationed and conducted a second round of searches on them.
"So strict..." Ye Peng raised his arms and complained, while Le Xinyi sighed: "After all, this is the last fortress..."
After repeatedly confirming that there were no problems, everyone was finally allowed to enter the underground city.
It's more of a labyrinth than a city.
The entire underground city is made up of wide tunnels. The tunnels connect each station. Different stations have different functions. Some are settlements, some are markets, and some are barracks... The overall structure is similar to a subway network. It's just that there are more stations here, the tunnels are shorter, and the overall coverage area is less than two thousand meters square.
Such a narrow, temporarily dug underground residence definitely does not have a good drainage system, and the source of food is difficult to guarantee.
As the heroes moved forward, passing each station, most of the residents they saw were pale, ragged, and emaciated. Those eyes were numb and lifeless, and only when they saw food, they would emit greedy light. But because of the patrolling soldiers, no one dared to snatch other people's food.
Cold, damp, stinky, and dark, no matter from which angle you look at it, this place is unsuitable for human survival, but it is undeniable that this is indeed the last place of hope for mankind.
If there are other human beings surviving in the wild, they will definitely yearn for this place and envy the people who live here...
Thinking of the Sunset Fortress that once united to resist the insects, and the Star City that once stood firm under the tide of insects, Zhang Lang felt endless sadness in his heart.
People in this world used to live with dignity, believing in hope even in the face of despair... But now, repeated failures have turned the last survivor into a zombie.
Insects... no, the culprit is the Si tribe!
Zhang Lang clenched his fists.
Soon, everyone arrived at the center of the city, where the headquarters of the Survival Society was located.
It is said that it is a headquarters, which is a larger site. It only manages tens of thousands of people in total. It is equivalent to a county government office and does not have that many things to deal with.
Outside the headquarters, there were more than twenty people waiting. Judging from their clothes, they must be the reincarnations of the Sixteenth Altar.
"You are back too?" The guard in front of the headquarters obviously knew the heroes of the Nineteenth Altar, and said happily: "Mr. Ikeda and the others have just come back, and are now reporting the situation to the president..."
"Ikeda Matsu is the master of the Sixteenth Altar..." Lu Ren quietly educated the newcomers: "But that guy is not as amiable as Mr. Francis. He is quite mean. I don't like this person very much."
"Hey!" A bearded man in the Sixteenth Altar shouted, "We have all heard it. They are talking bad about our boss behind his back. Has the Twelve Altar become more capable?"
"What I said is the truth!" Now that others have heard it, Lu Ren no longer hides it: "If you hadn't robbed us of our reward last time, maybe that tragedy wouldn't have happened in the future!"
"What is robbing?" Everyone at the Sixteenth Altar also shouted: "Rewards are for those who are able. If you don't have the ability yourself, why should you blame others?"
"Who do you think is incompetent?" Mia also swung the sword.
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, old Francis stepped in to mediate: "Don't be impulsive, the task is important, the task is important..."
After finally calming down the emotions of both parties, Old Francis looked at the guard: "Just in time, we also have some situations to report to the president, let's go together."
"Yes, but it will be too crowded with so many people. You can only bring a few representatives."
After discussion, Old Francis brought his deputy, a middle-aged man with a serious expression. On the Twelve Altar side, Lao Mo and Zhang Lang were dispatched, and the four of them entered the headquarters.
