Chapter 357: Doesn't look easy to deal with
At first, this little soldier named Mitsuo Akisawa didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he had also heard that the construction projects below were quite huge, and it was not surprising that prisoners of war or civilian laborers often died of exhaustion or disease below.
But after a long time, he felt a little weird and even terrifying, after all, no matter how huge the project is, no matter how difficult the conditions are, it will not go down to thousands of people to work, but none of them will come up alive!
Gradually, he began to know from his teammates who occasionally switched guards from underground fortresses that their army was probably conducting some kind of secret human experiments underground.
The unlucky ones who entered the underground fortress must have become poor test subjects.
But all this was his conjecture, after all, his duty was to guard the security of this strange fortress, and he had no right to intervene in anything else.
Originally, life was boring day by day, but after he served in the military on this desert island for just over half a year, the situation gradually changed.
In the beginning, it was only a delay in the start of the transport ships that came to the desert island every week to transport supplies and labor prisoners of war.
It went from once a week to once every two weeks, so much so that it began to become once a month.
And judging from the expressions of these Japanese soldiers who arrived on the island to escort supplies or laborers, the situation of their supposedly never-say-die empire on the battlefield was now precarious.
As the frequency of supply ships became less frequent, the morale of many Japanese troops in the desert island fortress began to fall more and more, and everyone seemed to know that defeat was only a matter of time.
Finally, one day they received a message from their superiors on a telegram, telling them that the empire had been defeated, and now that their army and the leaders of the country had officially surrendered to those former hostile countries, the war was over for him Mitsuo Akirasawa!
Originally, this was a very, very happy thing for this young man who had just participated in the war for a short time, after all, he could walk down from the battlefield alive, and he could go back to find his girlfriend Yuko, and live the rest of his life happily.
But things are obviously not as simple as he imagined, and the supreme commander of this fortress, Koji Oda, requires all people to strictly guard this military fortress, and no one is allowed to leave!
What's even more terrifying is that he demanded that the truckloads of prisoners of war who had just arrived in the fortress tied up with wire be thrown directly into the trucks in the yard, and left to fend for themselves in the wind and sun!
So Mitsuo Mingzawa, who had been stationed in the observation room of the small building on the second floor of the fortress, listened to the terrible screams of prisoner of war laborers coming from those trucks every day, and those screams were like the wails of the undead from the underworld, and he seemed to be in hell.
At first, the men had the strength to shout, but as time went on, the shouts on the trucks became weaker and weaker, until finally there was no more sound, and the trucks began to emit an unbearable stench, and the blood-stained liquid that flowed down the trucks' beds.
The smell is so strong that Mitsuo Akisawa often wakes up in his sleep when he wears a gas mask.
Of course, the life and death of others were not so important to them after all, but with the confirmation of the defeat, the supply ships never came again, and soon the entire military fortress fell into a situation of shortage of food and supplies.
Soon, some of the Japanese soldiers guarding the fortress began to become in a trance, and even had a tendency to start attacking their own people.
And Koji Oda, who has been in the deep underground laboratory of the fortress, has not given up their experiments, vowing to make the empire rise again.
It's just that Mitsuo Akisawa never thought that Dazuo's experiment would be successful, and he still hoped that one day he would be able to leave this fortress and this desert island.
The last page of the diary states that Mitsuo Akisawa and the rest of the Japanese soldiers guarding the buildings above ground received an order from Koji Oda to all of them to go down to the underground part of the fortress, and it is said that there is a confidential military mission assigned to each of them.
So far, most of the diaries have been completely translated by Ning Lei, but until a minute has passed since she translated it completely, no one including Gu Xiaole, Alida and Ning Lei has spoken.
Obviously, the three of them were all frightened by this crazy Oda Koji Daisa, and Gu Xiaole suddenly remembered the last time he and Alida saw the scene at dusk when he and Alida led a team of Japanese soldiers to shoot corpses out and put zombie worms on those pirate zombies.
If I didn't guess wrong, the leading Japanese officer should be Koji Oda mentioned in this diary.
Gu Xiaole and Alida glanced at each other, obviously the two of them had the same thoughts, but a new question came, it had been almost 80 years since this desert island fortress had lost supplies, how could they still be alive?
And still live in that weird form?
It seems that this should have something to do with the secret military mission that was recorded at the end of Mitsuo Akirasawa's diary......
But now they guessed that this was nothing more than paper talk on the fortress, and what the specific situation was below could only be known when they took the elevator down to see it after the power was restored.
But at this time, Ning Lei, who had suddenly been silent, screamed, and then pointed to the military trucks parked in the yard not far away with trembling fingers and said in a trembling voice:
"Well, the little soldier said it was full of prisoner of war trucks tied with wire, no, it can't be those ones, right?"
Gu Xiaole, who already had an answer to this question, smiled slightly: "Or, Miss Ning, you go up and have a look?"
"No! I won't go!" Ning Lei's head shook like a rattle.
Alida waved her hand to signal the two of them to stop making trouble, and glanced at the watch on her wrist, it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, there are still more than 3 hours until 6:30 p.m. of sunset on the desert island, what should they do next?
Gu Xiaole pondered for a moment and said, "After listening to the introduction of this diary, I feel that my original plan may have to be changed.
Originally, I thought that those Japanese soldiers were walking corpses with no IQ like the zombies outside, but now I think they may not have died at all, but just continued their lives in a way that we can't understand!"
His point is indeed a bit sensational, a group of Japanese soldiers who have been trapped on a desert island for nearly 80 years are still alive, which in itself is a bit incredible, but Alida still asked very pragmatically:
"Xiaole, do you mean that they may not be as easy to deal with as you think?"
Gu Xiaole nodded:
"That's right, compared to the zombies out there who are just controlled by worm instincts, it looks like it will take us a bit of brains and time to get them out of the fortress......"
