Li Xu awoke from the sleep pod and immediately sensed a change in environment.
Instead of an underground parking lot, he found himself in a vast, clean space with white walls and a white ceiling. The warm lighting was not harsh on the eyes, similar to sleep light, and the air was fresh—not dry or humid—with a hint of fruitwood fragrance.
The pod cover slid open automatically; he sat up and looked around. One by one, other sleep pods were sliding open, and teammates who had just shared laughter in the Main God Space were sitting up.
"Captain Li Xu!"
The wall opposite him transformed into a giant screen, displaying the face of a beautiful woman in an unfamiliar uniform. Behind her, many sophisticated devices flickered with colorful lights.
"Please cooperate with us for a security check."
Li Xu looked around, "Why are we here?"
"Given the dangerous environments you experienced in the scenario world, we had to move you to this underground base. Rest assured, you are all free."
