The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 471 Refusing to Guess, My Brain Can't Keep Up!
"Death is just a word I use to describe its current state."

Han Xuecheng carefully considered his words: "The unknown land where people live is full of mystery. People live and cultivate there. Ordinary people cannot come into contact with it unless they have a special pass. It is like there is a mysterious barrier that separates the unknown land from the human world, making the unknown land like a paradise. It clearly exists in this world, but it is inaccessible."

"The dead, unknowable land has shed its mystique, like a celestial realm returning to the mortal world, revealing its true nature. And most importantly, the restrictions of the mysterious entrance have disappeared; anyone who finds the entrance can enter!"

Lin Chen stared in disbelief: "Is it really an unknowable place?"

Han Xuecheng took a folder from the table next to him, opened it, and took out some drawings inside.

Han Xuecheng placed a blueprint in front of Lin Chen: "Take a look."

Lin Chen leaned closer and took a closer look. It was a pencil sketch, somewhat rough, but it was clearly a cross-sectional view.

The line at the top third of the paper should represent the ground, as there are mountains and place names marked on it.

The lower two-thirds should be underground. Starting from the far left, you can see a small gap leading underground. Below is an ancient tomb, which is not large, but below the tomb, it suddenly becomes empty.

The entire underground space suddenly became vast. Judging from the cross-section alone, the underground space was extremely large, with a height of at least hundreds of meters. Moreover, the cross-section continued to extend backward, indicating that this area was not only high but also incredibly long!

Lin Chen stared in disbelief at the blueprints: "Is this the vast underground land you just mentioned, sir?"

Han Xuecheng placed another drawing in front of Lin Chen: "That was a cross-sectional view just now. This is the approximate range that we measured with advanced instruments. It has dimensions marked on it."

Lin Chen took a closer look, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "An underground city that is thirty kilometers long, twenty kilometers wide, and about 150 meters high?"

Han Xuecheng's eyes lit up with excitement: "Yes."

Lin Chen asked doubtfully, "Could this be some kind of huge underground tomb, like someone's imperial mausoleum?"

Han Xuecheng shook his head and pointed to the blueprint: "Do you know that this underground city has rows of houses, trees in front of the houses, ancient wells for drawing water, streets, and shops? Who do you think would build all of this in their imperial tomb?"

"Furthermore, the entire underground city is located in an extremely hard underground rock zone. You can think of it as the entire underground city being encased in a single, incredibly hard rock. Only the upper right section of the underground city has a large gap in the rock layer; the rest is intact..."

Lin Chen stared in disbelief, his gaze fixed on the blueprints, his mind reeling. "Could it be tectonic activity that caused the surface city to sink underground?"

Han Xuecheng denied it, saying, "If it were a tectonic movement, the city on the ground could indeed sink underground, but do you think that after sinking underground, the houses would still remain intact and not collapse, and these spaces would not be buried by the land? How could they sink into this huge and hard rock layer?"

Lin Chen's mind went completely blank, so he simply asked, "What's your conclusion?"

Han Xuecheng said with shining eyes, "There are obvious cracks around this underground city, which means that this underground city is only a part of its original location. It may have originally existed in a mysterious space, but for some reason, it died in an unknown place."

"The unknown land that died has reappeared in the world. For some unknown reason, it cut directly into the ground from this location, forcefully blasting into the rock strata, thus forming its current shape."

"This underground city is 150 meters high, and there is nothing in this 150-meter space. From this, we can infer that there must be some kind of energy surrounding this area. Otherwise, there would not be such a difference in spatial height. Under such a huge impact, all the houses would be destroyed by the impact of the rock layers."

"In this underground city, there are still some skeletons in some places. We had the skeletons we found analyzed, and guess what we found?"

Lin Chen shook his head, refusing to speculate.

His brain is no longer capable of handling things.

Han Xuecheng excitedly said, "According to our instrument monitoring, the age of these skeletons is basically over 150 years old, and the oldest is 220 years old!"

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Such a long lifespan?"

Han Xuecheng nodded: "Yes, we judged that the underground city is a dead and unknown place based on many factors. The lifespan of these people is an important piece of evidence. Some people have said that the unknown place holds the secret to immortality. That is definitely an exaggeration, but I think that they may have a lifespan far exceeding that of normal people because of their special environment and special cultivation methods."

Lin Chen silently processed what he had heard for a while before finally asking, "Sir, what brings you here?"

Han Xuecheng replied, "I would like to invite you to join our team and explore the dungeon!"
