Three days later, Mala Village's overall survey of Building No. 99 had basically been completed.
It had a total of seventy-five floors and nearly ran through the entire mountain. The habitable spaces were also divided into upper, middle, and lower sections. The rock wall in the upper section was the thinnest, barely palm-thick, and could easily be broken through with a pickaxe.
Next to the boiler room was a warehouse used for storing coal. Unlike the rice, these block-shaped pieces of coal had remained largely unchanged aside from being covered in a thick layer of dust.
It had been renamed Building No. 99 rather than Mountain No. 99 because the Pioneer Team had discovered similar conditions inside another mountain a kilometer away.
Clearly, this building within a mountain was not an isolated case.
"So people not only lived in the Myriad Mountain Great Wilderness before, but also built many tall buildings and turned this place into a city?" Lin Qing summed up.
The three of them were currently standing on the "rooftop" of Building No. 99—the top of the mountain pillar—discussing their discoveries from the past few days. Only from such a height could they sense how orderly the mountain pillars were arranged. Though they varied in height, their spacing was more or less the same. Countless mountain pillars formed the strange terrain of the Myriad Mountain Great Wilderness. Now that they knew buildings might be hidden inside these rocks, the place seemed even stranger.

Perhaps Liu Zhidong had already ventured deep into the wilderness, far from Qingzhou, at the time.
"For now, that's the most likely conclusion, but there are still some unanswered questions." Chen Xuan
