I think it's significant that they specifically asked for "urban dwellers" and continually reference urban tunnels.
Hell, they could have come and asked, and I could show them miles and miles of tunnels, both natural and man-made, out here in the hinterlands... but they never asked.
They seem not to care about OUR tunnels.
My best guess is that they want to stockpile supplies. We don't need stockpiled supplies out here, since we are the ones who create the supplies that need to be stockpiled in cities.
However, when the urbanites piss us off enough, we'll just stop sending them supplies and watch them starve... hence the need for a stockpile before that happens.
That tells me they are planning to piss us off. A lot.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
