The exploration team cautiously exited the emergency escape room.

As soon as they approached the heavily-fortified exit gate, it automatically unlocked and slid open.

A long and spiralling tunnel lay ahead. The Larkinsons steadily ascended as they followed the lengthy tunnel. They walked for over 300 meters before they finally reached another thick gate.

This time, Ves had to type in another code in order to open this secure gate. Ves figured that it was not connected to any central systems, but instead operated in isolation. This was a good way to prevent someone's escape route from getting cut off by some nefarious infiltration party.

With the help of their awfully-helpful gem, the exploration team soon managed to pass through this barrier.

They entered a wide open space where the same bone metal material covered the walls and ceiling.
