"DE1344? A relic? Or should I say, a project mentioned by the Foundation?"
From these textual records, it seemed that the island was specifically used to contain something called 1344. Based merely on the description, it was hard to imagine what DE1344 could be.
"Lily, what's above this floor?" Charles asked.
If there was nothing unusual, Charles had decided to retreat. The Foundation had cleaned up this place so thoroughly, there seemed no need to continue the investigation.
Lily didn't respond. She looked around, her face showing a hint of confusion as if she was trying to remember something.
"Lily, what's above this floor?"
Faced with Charles's repeated question, Lily finally snapped out of it and hurriedly shook her head. "There's a big iron door locked up there; the rats can't get through."
Charles sighed. "Let's go, call back the other rats you've deployed on alert. We're heading back."
He presumed behind that door lay the so-called DE1344, but Charles wasn't curious.
