Global Shelter Game

Chapter 216: Chapter 196: Power Supply Room (2)

However, their search turned up no energy replenishment devices or energy blocks.

The equipment in the power supply room was still running, but the energy indicator bar was nearing the bottom. It was clearly on its last legs.

Bena frowned. He knew if they didn’t replenish the energy in time, the equipment would soon shut down, and they would lose their chance to uncover the secrets of this metal structure.

"Everyone, pick up the pace. We have to find an energy replenishment device or some energy blocks," Bena said in a low voice.

The team members all nodded, quickening their search and meticulously checking every corner of the power supply room.

Just then, Zhou Mei’s voice suddenly came over the communicator, "Captain, we’ve found a storage room. It looks like there are some energy blocks inside."

Bena’s eyes lit up. He immediately led the team toward Zhou Mei’s position.

In a storage room within the power supply area, the team members led by Zhou Mei had found a number of black boxes.

All of these black boxes were labeled as containing energy blocks.

Zhou Mei cautiously opened one of the boxes.

Several transparent glass cases were arranged neatly inside.

Seeing these glass cases, a puzzled look appeared on Zhou Mei’s face.

Lin Hao, who had heard they’d found energy blocks, also hurried over.

He too wore a puzzled expression as he looked at the glass cases. Of course, he had never seen a so-called "energy block" either, but he could understand the other text on the cases.

He immediately explained to the others:

"These are spent energy blocks. Everyone, keep looking. This room is for storing depleted energy blocks."

Disappointment showed on the faces of Zhou Mei and the other team members. They resumed their careful search of the storage room, hoping to find unused energy blocks.

"These energy blocks are already spent. We need to find new ones."

"If there’s a storage room for depleted blocks, there has to be one for new ones, too. Everyone, spread out and search,"

Lin Hao said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded and began searching the storage room carefully, hoping to find a useful clue.

However, their search revealed no new energy blocks.

All the energy blocks in the storage room were spent; not a single one was usable.

Bena frowned. He knew that if they couldn’t replenish the energy in time, the equipment in the power supply room would soon shut down, and they would lose their chance to uncover the secrets of this metal structure.

"Everyone, search again, more carefully. We have to find new energy blocks."

Bena said in a low voice.

The team members all nodded and resumed their search of the storage room, leaving no corner unchecked.

Just then, a box in the corner of the storage room caught Lin Hao’s eye.

He walked over quickly to observe the box more closely.

The box wasn’t very large. It looked a bit old and was covered in dust.

He carefully wiped away the dust, and the next moment, text on the box was revealed.

[Energy Block Storage Container]

Lin Hao’s heart began to race. ’This box was clearly set aside. Maybe a worker took it out to install some blocks, didn’t use them all, and just left it here. I’m guessing the main storage for new blocks isn’t in the power supply area for some reason.’

Lin Hao identified the characters carefully, then explained to the others:

"This should be an energy block storage container. It has information about the energy blocks written on it."

Hearing this, Bena immediately came forward. He observed the box closely and saw that it did indeed have some information about energy blocks written on it.

"Everyone, be careful. I’m going to open it and take a look."

With that, Bena cautiously opened the box.

As the box opened, several black cubes were revealed inside.

The surfaces of these cubes were smooth, and they looked very hard. They also shimmered with a faint light.

Bena and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, both seeing the pleasant surprise in the other’s eyes. "Looks like we found the new energy blocks,"

Bena said in a low voice. Lin Hao also nodded:

"That’s right. These must be the energy blocks. Let’s hurry back and try them."

Bena immediately had Zhou Mei and the other team members pick up the energy blocks and cautiously return to the power supply room.

They watched their surroundings vigilantly, ready to face any potential danger.

However, just as they were stepping out of the storage room, a low RUMBLE suddenly came from the direction of the power supply room.

Bena’s expression changed. He immediately led the team rushing toward the power supply room.

When they arrived, they found the equipment inside had stopped running. Some of the displays were flashing red and continuously emitting a warning sound.

"Warning: Power failure. Warning: Power failure."

"System shutting down. Please replenish energy blocks immediately."

Bena and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, both seeing the anxiety in the other’s eyes.

They hadn’t expected the equipment in the power supply room to shut down so quickly.

"Everyone, quick, help install the energy blocks."

Bena ordered at once.

Everyone nodded. They carefully picked up the energy blocks and began searching the room for the installation slots.

Lin Hao had some knowledge of ancient script. He carefully identified the markings on the equipment and quickly found the installation slots for the energy blocks.

Under Lin Hao’s guidance, the team began to quickly install the energy blocks.

Several completely transparent glass cubes were removed from the equipment, and the black energy blocks were placed inside.

With the energy blocks installed, the equipment in the power supply room gradually resumed operation.

The displays began to flash green again, and the indicator lights on the control panels returned to normal.

Bena and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, and both sighed in relief.

"Looks like we made it in time,"

Bena said in a low voice. Lin Hao also nodded:

"Yeah. Any later and this equipment might have been permanently damaged."

The monitor also switched from its original warning red to a soft green.

[Energy Block Replacement Successful]

[Current Energy Reserve: 5%]

As the equipment in the power supply room came back online, the power systems in other parts of the metal structure also gradually restored.

Lights flickered on one by one, illuminating the structure that had lain dormant for hundreds of years.

Bena and Lin Hao began to carefully inspect the power supply room, hoping to find the control panel for the other areas.

They knew that only by controlling the metal structure’s power system could they better understand its secrets.

With Lin Hao’s help, Bena quickly found the control panel for the other areas.

He carefully operated the control panel, attempting to activate the power systems in the other areas.

As he worked the controls, lights in the other areas of the metal structure gradually came on.

Bena and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, both seeing the pleasant surprise in the other’s eyes.

"Looks like we did it," Bena said in a low voice.

Lin Hao also nodded:

"Yeah, Captain. We should go explore the other areas now."

Bena nodded and immediately led the team toward the other areas.

They passed through several corridors, avoiding some structures that looked unstable, and arrived before the door to a massive laboratory.

The laboratory’s large door was sealed shut, and it too bore ancient text and symbols.

Lin Hao deciphered them for a moment, then explained:

"This should be the entrance to the laboratory, but the text on the door also mentions some warnings. It seems to suggest it’s dangerous inside."

"Dangerous?" Bena frowned. "What kind of danger specifically?"

Lin Hao shook his head. "I’m not sure about the specifics, but it could be experimental equipment that wasn’t shut down or unstable chemical substances."

Bena mulled it over for a moment, then gave his orders:

"Zhou Mei, you and a few others will stay here. Lin Hao and I will go in first to take a look. The rest of you, continue searching for any other clues."

"Understood," Zhou Mei acknowledged with a nod.

Bena and Lin Hao cautiously pushed open the laboratory door. Beyond it was a spacious lab filled with all kinds of complex equipment and instruments. Rows of display screens and control panels lined the walls.
