I've Been Here Before

"W-What do we do?" Xie Ding's face twitched in terror, on the verge of tears. "Boss Chu Han really smashed something!"

"I think I even heard a wall collapse," Guang Tou added from the side.

"We're done for. I can practically see countless weapons held to my throat!" Xie Ding trembled, utterly at a loss. "Boss Chu Han really is exactly like the rumors say. That explosive temper—how long has he been down there? How did he already start smashing things?"

"But why was there such a huge commotion without any alarm going off?" Amid the chaos, He Shang suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The moment he said that, the area fell completely silent. Xie Ding and Guang Tou could not make sense of it no matter how hard they thought.

Meanwhile, Chu Han had already descended at top speed into the pitch-black depths. Looking up, he could see that he was already dozens of meters down. The faint light from above was negligible, completely swallowed by darkness. As for how much farther down it went, even with Chu Han's peak Tier 5 Evolver senses, he could not see a thing.

The deeper he went, the stranger the place felt. Yet Chu Han's expression only grew calmer.

Wang Cai was nearly scared to tears. Clinging tightly to Chu Han for fear of falling, Wang Cai spoke with a hint of panic. "Chu Han, this damn thing doesn't lead all the way to the Earth's core, does it?"

"With the technology of Earth's intelligent lifeforms at present, it is impossible to construct a vertical tunnel leading to the Earth's core." Chu Han's voice and answer were so calm that they hardly seemed human.

"Then aliens built it?" Wang Cai blurted out.

"You're the damn alien. Shut up!" Chu Han snapped impatiently.
