Chapter 36: The Town

After ten hours of flying, Fang Linyan and the others finally landed at a secret airport.

You can see that the area around the airport is very desolate, there are almost no plants, only dry stones and gravel, and moss growing close to the ground, and you can see the wind when the plane lands and kicks up puffs of dust, which directly spills the broken windows of the terminal building.

Here they switched back to a small, dilapidated propeller plane that could only carry less than twenty passengers.

It can be seen from the tattered sponge cushion seats in the cabin, as well as the glittering armrests that have been scratched out, this plane should be an old man, Fang Linyan is very suspicious that the age of this thing is estimated to be two or three times older than himself.

The key is that before taking off, the pilot took out a stainless steel flask from his arms with great interest and took a sip, and then whistled and took off excitedly.

And when he just took off, Fang Linyan pinched a handful of sweat, because at this time, a cross wind happened to blow, which actually blew the entire fuselage of the small plane away.

Let's put it this way, the crooked wings of the plane are estimated to be only five or six meters away from a towering rock below, and I believe that everyone here is breaking out in a cold sweat on their backs while clutching the handrails.

The only indifferent person was the bearded pilot, who laughed and poured another sip of wine, excitedly pulled the plane up, and then disappeared into midair.

In mid-air, you can see that the terrain below is very dangerous, which can be described as poor mountains and bad waters, and only a road that looks like a yellow snake can be seen passing through the mountains, winding and disappearing in the gray bare rocks, and landslides can occur everywhere.

With such a topography, Fang Linyan felt that he should have come to the Pamir Plateau.

After about an hour of flight, the plane landed, and the landing area was in a deep canyon, and the passengers once again experienced a sense of trepidation when landing, and the only advantage was that it was very hidden when landing.

As you can see, there are already several tattered off-road vehicles parked at the landing site, and the group of them jump on it, the engines start to roar, and finally when the sky is about to get completely dark, they successfully send them to a small town called Sandor.

Fang Linyan also carefully observed the environment along the way, and found that it was really quite desolate, the sky and the earth seemed to be gray, even the bushes on the side of the road were covered with a layer of dull dust, and this town seemed to be quite large, perhaps because of the strong wind and sand and the dark sky, there were very few people walking outside.

According to Fang Linyan's judgment, this town should be a typical resource-based gathering place, and the nearby should have been surveyed with rich mineral deposits, and then attracted a large number of people to exploit them, and around these people began to develop an economy such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., forming a false prosperity.

But when the resources are exhausted, the former prosperity is gone with the wind and returns to a dead state.

Through the car window, Fang Linyan suddenly saw an obvious sign symbolizing radiation on the wall of a factory next to him, and suddenly his heart sank, and he roughly knew that the situation here was more complicated than he imagined.

Soon, the vehicle stopped and turned into a large warehouse, where the first arrivals of the Duckland Company were already in charge of reception, and the distribution of accommodation, which was a temporary base built by the Duckland Company.

Fang Linyan, who had been bumpy for a day, drank a few sips of water, and couldn't wait to lie down on the bed next to him, stretching his waist, only to feel that the bones and joints of his body were clicking, soreness and fatigue came together, and he soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Fang Linyan suddenly heard two people speaking next to him in the haze:

"Ishida-kun, is this really a uranium mining base before?"

"Yes, Mr. Dasha, but the situation here is more complicated, and at the same time as uranium mining has been discovered, silver has been discovered with high mining value. It was directly encircled by military control, so the town of Sandor was not marked on the map at all. ”

"And this area is very chaotic, until the Soviet Union at that time to establish the basic rules, from the eighties of the last century, one after another more than 30 years of mining, finally exhausted, here again became barren and barren, it is estimated that it will disappear in the wind and sand in a few decades. ”

"But when a more advanced refining and mining technology was discovered seven years ago, the abandoned mine suddenly became valuable. ”

"An armed force called the Scimitar began to move in and began to re-exploit the area, and it is said that new veins were discovered using more advanced technology. The scimitar is just a puppet pushed out on the surface, but the force behind it is a polar bear. ”

"It's just that according to the records, it seems that the exploitation of silver mines is just a front, and the real attraction is uranium, which is now nineteen times more expensive than gold on the black market. With such a considerable profit, of course, some people will take risks. ”

"Oh, Ishida-kun, did you say that Veronica's secret laboratory was established here because of the mineral resources here?"

"Mr. Dasha, all I can say is that I can't rule it out........"

Hearing this, Fang Linyan felt unbearably thirsty, so he coughed softly and sat up, and the two people next to him immediately stopped talking.

Fang Linyan went out to find some water to drink, and then was called by Delto to the office next to him, there were several people in this office, and it was already smoky, and the people among them were smoked like red-eyed rabbits, and there was a yellowed map on the square table in the middle.

Delto first squinted his eyes and said:

"Good news and bad news. ”

"The good news is that our newest reinforcement has been led by Tana and will arrive in an hour and a half. ”

"The bad news is that in a short period of time, the people of Tana are the last reinforcements we can get. ”

Hearing the news, Fang Linyan was taken aback and said:

"Tana, wasn't he killed in the attack?"

Delto shook his head and said:

"That's what we thought at first, but when we met, Tana left the base to receive another valuable sample, so he escaped. ”

Fang Linyan recalled for a moment, making sure that the last time he saw Tana, he asked for supplies, and then Tana asked Aisen to replenish himself at that time, listening to his tone, it was indeed like he was leaving.

But Delto continued:

"It's possible that we've discovered that Veronica's lab has been stolen by a commercial spy and leaked out, but we're in a position to get ahead of the curve and be able to use air power to fly over. ”

"This time, the group has made a bloody investment, starting from half an hour ago, the airspace within a radius of hundreds of kilometers has been locked by the company with the help of national power, and the duration is 24 hours. ”

"So directly, even if the rest of the forces can send people over, they can only take the temporary road that transported the ore out of the past. ”

"And the road is already in disrepair, and our people are still wreaking havoc, so we have about thirty hours without disturbance. ”

Delto then pointed to the map next to him:

"This is the original map of the town we just found, and it's roughly divided into three main areas: the trade zone, the barracks, and the refinery. ”

"The trade zone is a place where miners and armed forces get drunk, and there are still two taverns, a brothel, and a casino, and because this place where birds don't produces nothing, and even the water they drink is bitter, so the supplies and supplies are concentrated in the trade zone first, and then rationed. ”

"The refinery is a tightly controlled area where the mined ore is roughed and then transported, and it is classified as a military exclusion zone, with warning signs of skulls everywhere, and even deliberately placed some shot corpses around to warn those who want to take risks.

"The barracks are where the local armed forces are stationed, and I heard that they are built at the entrance to the mine, and they are heavily guarded, but this has nothing to do with us, the ruins of Veronica's laboratory are still a full sixty kilometers away from here. ”

"It's just that this is a seismically active zone, and so far it has suffered a strong earthquake and many aftershocks, and the terrain has changed significantly, so the maps of the past cannot be used, and you have to find someone to lead the way......

At this time, someone suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, it was Shi Tian, who was in the same room as Fang Linyan before, he walked over with a very ugly face, and whispered a few words to Delto, Delto's face immediately changed greatly:

"What?

He looked around for a moment, and finally his gaze stayed on Fang Linyan's face, and then said:

"Winch, the situation is urgent, and I can't get out of the way, so there's something for you to do. ”

Fang Linyan nodded and said very simply:

"Leave it to me. ”

Delto Tract:

"About five kilometers from us, there is a line control room, guarded by armed forces. Give you ten people, occupy it in an hour, and then decipher the code inside, can you do it?"

Fang Linyan knew that now was not the time to hide:

"Two people, forty minutes! $30,000 in cash!"

Delto glanced at Fang Linyan deeply, nodded and said:

"Okay! Ishida gave it to him. ”

Fang Linyan walked out the door, received 30,000 US dollars in cash from Ishida, then walked out the door and ordered two people to follow him, one of them was called Kaul, and the other was called Limu.
