As the fingerprint detection passed, the interior lighting of the elevator leading to the lower Safehouse illuminated.

Sun Cheng frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

The elevator wasn't spacious, at most accommodating four people standing chest to back.

But this was also for the sake of concealment. After all, building a Safehouse beneath an already constructed Villa required avoiding various infrastructure elements like underground optical cables, drainage pipes, gas heating pipelines, etc. Space was naturally limited.

Leading Revenge into the relatively cramped elevator, Sun Cheng carefully surveyed the interior.

The elevator's design was very simple, devoid of any extravagant features. The elevator was operated using four buttons on the left wall: [Open], [Close], [Up], and [Down].

He first pressed the [Close] button and saw two thin alloy doors swiftly slide shut from both sides.

Then he pressed the [Down] button. Sun Cheng immediately felt a slight sensation of weightlessness as the elevator descended downwards. Before he could react, it had already come to a stop.

"Although we're just about thirty meters from the ground, typical explosives won't affect us here."

Pressing the [Open] button, the thin alloy doors of the elevator immediately sprung open, revealing a room that didn't seem very spacious.

"Phew!"

Perhaps due to being accustomed to Cybertron-style architecture, when Sun Cheng stepped into this room located more than thirty meters underground, constructed entirely from a bright silver alloy, he suddenly felt a sense of security.

The lighting on the ceiling had already turned on when the elevator door opened, allowing him to see everything inside clearly.

The room he entered wasn't particularly large, stretching about five meters in length and around four meters in width, with a height of approximately three meters.

However, the room was quite empty; there wasn't even a table, chair, or bench in sight.

Naturally, the Safehouse designed by Sun Cheng wouldn't be limited to just this much space.

In fact, this room at the elevator entrance was only one-fourth of the entire Safehouse.

Without Sun Cheng needing to instruct, Revenge walked into the room without stopping and headed to the other side facing the elevator entrance. There, an inconspicuous single door awaited, just like the elevator entrance. It required his fingerprint or iris scan to unlock.

Since the empty room held nothing of interest, Sun Cheng didn't linger. After a brief inspection, he moved to the door and once again used fingerprint verification to enter the second room.

Similar to the first room, the second room's dimensions and construction materials were identical.

Sun Cheng wasn't surprised by this because these two rooms at the front were deliberately left during the initial design, allowing him to have options if the Safehouse were compromised.

After another round of fingerprint verification, entering the third room through the password-locked door, Sun Cheng looked around before finally stopping with satisfaction.

The true Safehouse had been reached!

From a human perspective, this was definitely considered a very spacious room.

For ease of construction, this room adopted a similar design and construction materials as the previous ones. Its layout was rectangular, larger than the previous rooms. It measured about twenty meters in length, ten meters in width, and had a height of around four meters.

Similar to the smaller rooms, the interior was unusually empty, but not completely devoid of items.

In a corner of the over two-hundred-square-meter space, dozens of large boxes were stacked. In the center of the Safehouse, fourteen engineering robots of different models stood silently, motionless as if deprived of power.

These robots were the heroes who, in the past twenty days, had constructed this underground Safehouse from scratch—engineering robots that Sun Cheng had brought back from the "Transformers Universe."

To maintain secrecy and prevent exposure of the Safehouse, all the soil and construction debris from excavation were placed into boxes by the engineering robots and later disposed of by Sun Cheng using the Spherical Space. Similarly, all construction materials were transported by him using the Spherical Space.

One could say that without the miraculous Spherical Space, unless he disregarded the risk of exposure, it would have been impossible to construct such a large Safehouse underground in just over twenty days.

"Very good, impressive!"

The last time Sun Cheng returned to the real world, he had visited a few times to carry construction debris and transport materials. However, at that time, this place was in the initial stages of construction, and even during his final material transport, the elevator wasn't operational.

Back then, he had to climb up and down using a nylon rope ladder for the nearly thirty-meter distance, with the interior pitch-black. If not for the robots' lighting equipment, he wouldn't have seen anything.

So today was the first time Sun Cheng saw the true appearance of the Safehouse after its construction was complete.

A space of over two hundred square meters was already quite large.

Situated thirty meters underground, it was practically impossible for ordinary people to discover this place.

Sun Cheng had long planned for this to be his emergency command center in the real world for some time until Base One was fully operational.

Thanks to his sense of insecurity, the Safehouse had a comprehensive defense system.

Its outermost layer was half a meter of reinforced concrete, with the rebar being the same reinforced steel used in Base Two, and even the cement was a composite he had purchased in the real world. This was followed by a twenty-centimeter-thick reinforced alloy plate. Inside the main space, six alloy pillars with dampers were installed. Unless facing a large ground-penetrating missile or an earthquake of magnitude eight or higher, typical explosive devices wouldn't affect the Safehouse even if they exploded directly above it.

The Safehouse had its independent power source, central air conditioning, and a sophisticated ventilation system.

Once the adjustments were complete, Sun Cheng would deploy some of the latest combat robots he had just transferred from Base Two to Safehouse.

When he found time, he would purchase emergency supplies such as food, potable water, and canned goods, and store them here. He believed that hiding for several months wouldn't be a problem.
