When Frederick stepped out of the cabin, he was surprised to realize that he was in an extremely huge cave.

When he was getting off the ship, he walked to the side of the ship and looked back, but he couldn't find the exit. He couldn't help but wonder: Where is this place? Is it a secret military base?

Full of doubts, Frederick led his family to follow the team.

Not long after, staff from the base brought some food and water, including water, bread, dried meat, etc.

"You can eat something to fill your stomach first. When you arrive at the base, there will be more abundant food! After eating, please find a suitable place to rest for a while. We will notify everyone to gather in about 8 hours."

Frederick listened to the staff's unfluent German and could only rely on guessing to barely understand what the other party was saying.

After receiving the food, he walked with his wife and children to the wall of a spacious room. Then he took out the blanket he had brought from his bag and spread it on the ground so that the whole family could sit around the blanket comfortably and eat.

Although the taste of these foods can only be considered average, for them who have been living in poverty in recent years, both bread and jerky are considered quite good food.

So the family enjoyed this simple yet warm meal in this makeshift rest area.

Seeing his children listlessly gnawing on dry bread, Frederick felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

This long journey was too hard for the children, and their exhausted appearance was heartbreaking.

He prayed silently that the journey ahead would not be so difficult and long, otherwise not only would it be unbearable for the children, but he himself would also be reaching his limit.

After dinner, his wife Heidi took good care of the two children who had already fallen asleep, while Frederick walked aside and chatted with the people he met during the trip.

At first, everyone was talking about their respective academic fields and research projects, but before they knew it, the topic had turned back to this mysterious force. Everyone was trying to probe each other, trying to get some unknown intelligence.

When Frederick returned to Heidi, the children had already fallen asleep, their little bodies wrapped tightly in warm blankets. His wife leaned against the wall quietly, reading the book in her hand attentively under the light above her head. "Dear, have you heard any new news?"

Feeling someone coming, Heidi raised her head, looked at Frederick, and asked softly.

Frederick shook his head. "There's nothing new for now. Let's wait and see. Didn't they say that a vehicle would arrive in a few hours? The good news is that we don't have to take the boat anymore. I saw the railway tracks not far ahead. I guess we'll have to take the train next."

Frederick shrugged helplessly, slowly sat down on the blanket, and hugged his wife tightly.

They just waited quietly, and time passed by every second.

This moment of rest was so rare for Frederick, who had been living on the sea all this time. After all, this was the first time he could sleep peacefully since coming ashore.

Gradually, sleepiness came over him like a tide, and Frederick began to feel drowsy.

"Ding-ling-ling~" A sharp and piercing ring suddenly broke the quiet air, waking up the family who were immersed in their dreams.

Frederick quickly reached out and gently patted the frightened child, then stood up and looked into the distance.

Not far away, I saw a few Asians in uniform, busy gathering everyone together.

The couple quickly packed their blankets and other personal belongings, dragged their suitcases and walked quickly towards the meeting place.

"The car is coming soon, everyone hurry up! Come and gather!"

The staff kept shouting loudly.

Just over ten minutes later, Frederick felt a slight vibration on the rails beneath his feet, and he knew that the train was coming. However, surprisingly, despite being so close, he could hardly hear the sound of the train.

As the train slowly approached, Frederick finally saw clearly what was in front of him. This train was neither a traditional steam locomotive nor a common diesel locomotive.

It ran unusually quietly, and from the front of the car, Frederick speculated that it was powered by direct electric power.

After waiting for the train to come to a complete stop, Frederick was surprised to realize that it was not a passenger train.

When I stepped into the carriage, I saw it was empty, without even a seat.

Obviously the main purpose of this vehicle is cargo transportation.

Ten long hours passed and the train was not going very fast, but Frederick became very interested in the condition of the tracks.

He noticed that the train was running extremely smoothly and fit the rails very well, as if it were a whole.

He was deeply shocked by the exquisite processing technology. From the details, he could see that the technological level of the force they were about to visit must be quite powerful.

When the train finally stopped, the door slowly opened and the family got off, only to be surprised to find themselves still underground.

However, this huge space does not make people feel oppressive at all.

Everyone lined up and took the elevator to continue moving upwards. Instead of reaching the ground as Frederick had originally guessed, they arrived at a beautiful park with pleasant scenery.

The roads here are lined with lush lawns and some low trees, and the fresh air blows in your face.

What’s even more surprising is that you can actually feel the warm sunshine shining down above your head.

It feels like being in the nature, giving people a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

It wasn’t long before the Fredericks were taken to room A1-7.

"Dad, are we going to live here from now on?"

The young daughter held Frederick's hand tightly, blinking her big curious eyes and looking around the strange room.

The bright light poured down, illuminating the entire room, making it exceptionally bright and appearing very high-end.

The floor was as smooth as a mirror. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship was used to create it, but the milky white floor had no gaps at all.

The house was fully furnished with exquisite furniture, completely different from what they had seen in Germany.

The family visited the rooms one by one with great interest. When they saw the children's room covered with carpets and filled with dolls, the little daughter screamed with excitement. She hugged a huge doll and shouted to Frederick with joy: "Dad, I want to live in this room!"

Frederick looked at his daughter's happy appearance, couldn't help but smile lovingly, and responded softly: "Okay, baby, from today on this belongs to you."

But what pleased Frederick most was the elegant study.

There is a comfortable recliner in the corner of the study. Looking up, you can see golden rays of sunlight pouring down from the ceiling, making you feel warm on your body.

Various books are neatly displayed on the bookshelf, including not only wonderful novels from all over the world, but also many highly professional works.

It was not until dinner time that Frederick finally met the owner of this place.

He was an Asian man who looked very young. He had a gentle face and gave people a friendly feeling. He also exuded a confident and peaceful temperament.

Frederick noticed that the young man looked at his visitors very differently from the Asians he had met in Europe.

The host smiled and said, "Welcome everyone here. This building is a scientific research base built specifically for you. From today on, this will become your exclusive place to work and live. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask the service staff in the base. They will do their best to meet your reasonable requirements."

"In addition, you will receive $1000 worth of gold as compensation every month. Of course, if you are good enough to officially join our team, you will enjoy even more generous treatment."

Frederick couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that they were not considered official members now?

However, he is already very satisfied with the monthly income of $1000.
