A narrow concrete staircase disappeared beneath the house. Small lights ran along one wall, although most were broken. The two that still worked blinked weakly over stained steps.
Zhenlan went down first.
His lightning spread over his palm, giving him enough light to see the bottom without touching the switches.
Yuche followed behind him as Chenghai carried me down after them.
Gu Han remained at the top of the stairs.
Of course he did.
Because that wasn't creepy at all.
The basement was much larger than the house should've allowed. The staircase opened into a long concrete hallway with metal doors on both sides. The rooms extended beneath the neighboring properties, joining several houses through the same underground structure.
This wasn't something Gu Han had built after the apocalypse.
He had found it like this... and I didn't even want to guess why someone had this built before shit had the chance to hit the fan.
