City

Mao’s Secret City

the year is 1969. Great leader Moa Zedong come’s up with a plan too build a second city under Peking. Designed to be a shelter for at least 6 million people in case of a nuclear holocaust the future city would provide and function as a perfect underground world. Unfortunately for Moa and the hundreds of people working their ass of building the city the nuclear war never came.

No one really knows how much of the “second” city actually was build but rumors tell that the city is connected wit all major political and military infrastructures in Peking. Now 40 years later the city has never been in use and forgotten by almost everyone.

After bribing some government official a couple of adventures managed too get inside the catacombs of the city.
