Hans and his small group soon reached the bottom.
The underground corridor was wider than the stairwell, but it didn't feel spacious nor safe enough.
The ceiling was low. Pipes ran along it, some wrapped in cloth. The floor was dry, but the walls sweated due to the cold moisture.
A generator hummed somewhere deeper, muffled behind layers of insulation. It wasn't loud, but at least it powered up this place more than enough.
Two doors sat at the end of the corridor.
One was marked as STORAGE.
The other had no label at all. It was simply a metal plate welded over the original handle, with a keypad mounted to the side. The keypad looked almost comical in this world, until Hans noticed the wires.
They weren't any simple wires, but were factory wires.
"Did the Engineers participate?" Hans asked.
It was impossible for this entire place to be setup with such precision and speed unless the Engineers were involved.
