However, to Wang Agui's slight reassurance, Bai Hanzi said that the map sent to them was like this, and it was for them to use a thermal imager to find them one by one according to the red circle on the map, and they searched for these places in three ways for a month, and they and the other two teams were connected with each other, so they started from the edge of the desert and went to the center little by little.

So far, except for the dozen or so places in the middle of the desert, I have not found all these dozens of places in the outer week.

And that thermal imager was specially used to find that huge arsenal, and in the absence of professional equipment, they could only use this method that was slightly stronger than manual exploration and was not the way to do it.

Bai Hanzi only knew that the arsenal was very large, and he didn't know how big it was, but the technicians in the base told him that if there was a hole in the ground, then the thermal response of the ground at noon was definitely different from the surrounding solid ground, and the place where the ground temperature was slightly lower was naturally the burial site of the arsenal.

When asked why they painted the military card in other colors, Bai Hanzi's words made Wang Agui and others feel heavy pressure again, Bai Hanzi said that those planes flying by every other day in the sky would blow up when they saw dark green cars, regardless of whether the big car or the car had to be blown up.

Their convoy let the planes let them go after blowing up a few cars, and only after painting all the military vehicles in other colors did the planes let them go.

"Ergou, you and Lao Jin will lead a team alone, and these two exploration teams must be wiped out before dark tomorrow." Wang Agui gave an order to Chen Ergou and Jin Yutang with a dark face. Chen Ergou and Jin Yutang took the order to go, Wang Agui was already murderous, and the cars from the Yanqiao base came to destroy one for him, and he was determined to get this batch of arms

"Agui, don't worry, judging from the information, we still have time." Cheng Fei said after looking at the information in detail.

"Tell me, Lao Chen, you can also take a look and see how feasible their method is." Wang Agui calmed down, he needed some information to analyze.

"First of all, those planes at the Helan Mountain base are not looking for this arsenal, and they may not be looking for us, they may want to determine their hegemony in the northwest and specifically look for those survivor bases that have developed by relying on the garrison.

Moreover, they want to bomb only military vehicles and not civilian vehicles, which shows this even more, and they only allow their military force to exist in the entire northwest region. ”

"The second point is that although no one knows about the military depot, this 'no one' is limited to those big people, such as the group of heads at the Helan Mountain base, and it is not excluded that some soldiers who participated in the construction and garrison in those years, especially the veterans of the older generation, know that they may have told this secret to the Yanqiao garrison for various reasons.

However, according to our army's law of secrecy, those who know what is inside do not know where they are, those who know the specific location do not know what is inside, and those who are involved in this matter are not local soldiers; And the chances of these two people surviving this apocalypse, gathering together in a survivor base, and being able to meet, get to know each other, and tell others together are almost impossible. ”

"So, according to the current situation, they only know that they are under a certain mountain, but they don't know the specific location, so they use crowd tactics to find it. In this way, if we find what they haven't found yet, then we only need to start with these dozen or so places that we haven't found, so that we can save a lot of effort. Cheng Fei ended his analysis.

"I looked at the instructions for using their thermal imager, and although I don't understand this, it is possible to find this thing." Chen Zhong put down the information and said, "This thing is not professional prospecting equipment, but if this thing can be found, it means that the arsenal is not ordinarily large; And it can be concluded that there must be more information at the Yanqiao base, so they dare to conclude that this thing works. ”

"Why do you say that?" Wang Agui asked, he didn't understand the professional direction, he just needed to synthesize the suggestions of his subordinates and make a decision.

"You look at how detailed this geological map is, so this team must have professional equipment, so why not let these professionals come out to explore but send a group of people who don't know a few words to come out? Although it is slow to send professionals, it is guaranteed, and it is guaranteed that the characters who can lead such a large base to survive until now will be foolish? Then he must have more sources to argue for this - of course, this is just an inference, and it cannot be ruled out that the man is really stupid, but I don't think it's very likely. Chen Zhong ended his analysis.

After analysis, Wang Agui came to a conclusion: this batch of munitions is still in its original place, as long as the remaining two exploration teams are eliminated, then the Yanqiao base will not send more people in a short period of time, and this time is enough for his own actions. However, after a series of recent events, Wang Agui also felt that he needed a group of think tanks in the real sense - that is, strategists

At noon the next day, Chen Ergou and Jin Yutang came back to Wang Agui to say that the task was completed, and the other two teams were all wiped out, and a total of 21 off-road military cards painted with civilian paint were all brought back, and the information brought back was exactly the same as the information handed in by Bai Hanzi. In this battle, the team added 33 off-road military cards, 6 vehicle-mounted thermal imaging instruments, and 43 hand-held thermal imagers.

Because it is more than 30 kilometers away from the Yanqiao base, Wang Agui does not think that the Yanqiao base is qualified to use satellite communications, so they will not know any information for at least two days, unless they send a communication relay car out.

At dawn on the third day, Wang Agui divided 10 teams of men and horses to search for the locations marked on the map; 6 of the thermal imagers were distributed among the 6 recruit teams; Hand-held thermal imagers are distributed to three teams led by experienced veterans; Ou Da and Yu Yang led a team to take two Humvees to find the rest of the place, today is still a sunny day, Wang Agui strives to hear the good news this afternoon.

This is the first large-scale operation of the Eighth Independent Division, all the personnel are scattered, even the female team members are scattered, so that any team will be attacked will have a lot of casualties, but there is no way, you have to gamble; However, the area of the sand sea is not large, and the possibility of winning the bet is still very high.

Wang Agui was not mistaken, at about one o'clock at noon that day, the seventh detachment of the steel cable reported that an obvious temperature imbalance area was found under a sandy mountain, which is quite large, and the boundary cannot be determined at present; And after careful investigation, the remnants of the garrison ruins found on the mountain should be this place.

Hearing this news, Wang Agui breathed a sigh of relief, and he ordered all the teams to drive towards the No. 2 Mountain, which was opposite to the east and west of No. 7 Mountain, and only the loader quietly marched towards No. 7 Mountain.

Wang Agui wants to fight a maze array, who knows if there are spies from other bases or other bandits waiting to pick up ready-made ones in this thousands of miles of yellow sand, such a large convoy gathered at No. 7 Mountain at once, and I don't know what I found there? Wang Agui just wants to confuse all possible enemies, even satellites in the sky.

This morning, the two modified military trucks were buried in the long yellow sand and hidden; And those military trucks that drove out will gather at the foot of No. 2 Mountain, where the members of the team who have gathered in the past will "build a big construction" for an afternoon and "set up camp" in the evening, and when the Ecstasy Array is arranged, all the personnel will take a Humvee and run back to No. 7 Mountain to meet the loader, as for the 30 or so military trucks left there, let's talk about it.

Mountain No. 7 is the "Bular Mountain" that the mysterious old man said, this name should be the name of a long time ago, as for how long this long time ago, no one knows.

Nestled in the heart of this vast sea of sand, Bula Mountain is the closest mountain to the center of the desert except for Mountain 3 on the map. This mountain is not big, more than 70 meters high, two kilometers long, and more than 600 meters wide, it is a rectangular weathered rock mountain. The whole mountain is yellow and bare like those mountains on the Loess Plateau, there are no plants, no animal footprints, this bare barren mountain is located in the vast sea of sand at the wind and sand blowing.

Today is a rare cloudy day, under the blowing of wind and sand, Wang Agui stood on the loader, looking at this ordinary mountain with emotion. Perhaps, this is the place where you have attained nirvana, and from today, the Eighth Independent Division will officially begin its journey of making a comeback. For a while, Wang Agui felt that the wind and sand that seemed to never stop were so warm and wonderful

"You see, there are iron stakes from the watchtower on the hill, and there are some bullet holes over there; We found a scrapped old liberation truck under the sand, which all indicates that this is probably the military depot. Steelrope pointed to the large and small piles on the mountain.

"They dismantled it very carefully, and besides, no one thought that there would be such a huge treasure in the heart of this desert with thousands of miles of wild sand." Cao Xuezhen jumped out of the cab and said.

"No, no, no, at that time it wasn't a treasure, it was a devil, and no one dared to fight the idea here." Wang Agui smiled and said. It is only in this last days that this batch of weapons, which has been lagging behind for I don't know how many years, has become a treasure.

"If the Yanqiao base had been found from the center from the beginning, there would be no place for us now." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"yes, if they had brought three convoys together and looked for it from the heart at the beginning, it would have been easy to find. But then again, in the heart of this desert, if the car lies on the ground, it will be a catastrophe, and the risk is too great. Chen Ergou patted Liu Wei's shoulder and said with emotion. In this kind of place, only the loaders of the Eighth Independent Division dare to stay here for a few months, who would dare to change people?

"Boss, I'm back," shouted Oda as he got out of a pile of sand and ran onto the loader.

"How? How big is it? The crowd hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." Ouda gasped as he took the pot of water handed over by Lan Xue and poured a few sips.

"Don't know?" Everyone's eyes widened.

"Yes, I don't know how big it is, no, it's bigger than the foot of the mountain on both sides of this mountain, I ran along the cement surface, and I didn't touch the cement side after running two rounds, this military depot is larger than the scope of this mountain." Ouda said as he poured water and pointed to the mountain, which is more than two kilometers long.

As far as everyone could see, the tall Mount Bra stretched out from both ends of the old elder until it disappeared into the rolling sea of sand in the distance. According to this area estimate, the ground area of Bula Mountain covers an area of at least 900 acres, and Ouda has not touched the cement edge for a long time, which shows that the military depot under the mountain is not so simple.

"I guess it's not a military depot, it's a military base. This military depot is almost ten meters above the ground, and I touched it down for another 10 meters without touching my head, and finally I couldn't hold my breath and came up, and there must be more than one floor below. Ouda gasped and said.

"It makes sense, if it's a simple military depot, what if such a large area and so much ammunition are not well kept? This bombing is no less than an earthquake. In this case, I think this should have been a large military base excavated in the era of 'digging deep holes and accumulating grain', but later it was abandoned due to the development of technology, and I thought it was a pity to use it as an ammunition storage area. Wang Agui analyzed.

"Very well, Oda, have you found the gate?" Chen Zhong asked happily.

"Found it, just under those boulders, the door is very large, it is sealed with high-quality steel, there is no air inside, I just touched the door." Ouda pointed to a third of the mountain, which looked like a boulder landslide at the top of the mountain, which seemed to have been intentionally placed with a crane.

"But the door is one meter thick, and the crack and shaft of the door are directly welded to death, so we can't open it; I found a small vent over there, where people could go down, but cars couldn't. That's it, who can get in if you change the family? Oda patted his chest with some pride.

Everyone nodded yes, Ouda was right, try another one, they have to find a door or vent for a few months, it is simply impossible; Even if it takes a few months to find the door and go in again, it will take a few months for the inert gas below to be exhausted and people can go down, then the whole project will take a year, and such a huge consumption of manpower, financial and material resources may not be able to be done by the Helan Mountain base.

"Dig up the vents tomorrow, and we'll have to discuss the rest of the matter." Wang Agui suddenly remembered that something was not yet clear, if he hastily dug up this basement, I am afraid that the situation behind him would not be able to grasp it.

In the operational command room in the loader, all the officers of various specialties were present, and Wang Agui had to demonstrate in detail how far this military depot should be excavated and how to do these things.

"This is the general figure drawn by Ouda, it can be seen that this military depot should be an underground military base, that is to say, the area of the first layer will not be less than 1000 acres, whether there is a second layer, the third layer is not easy to say, now there are the following issues for everyone to discuss.

First, this military base has been mothballed for nearly twenty years, and if we open it rashly, will it destroy the balance inside and lose its original usefulness in a short period of time like the freshly excavated terracotta warriors?

Second, it is impossible for us to pull away all such huge reserves, they must be sealed, how to seal them?

Third, how to avoid someone touching it again in the later stage, what if one day we come back to pull the arms only to find that these are not ours?

Fourth, how to "Wang Agui clicked the mouse and said the questions he came up with one by one, and everyone stared at the projector and thought about it one by one.

A crisp knock sounded, Wang Agui's words were interrupted, and everyone immediately realized that there might be an emergency, otherwise no one would dare to knock on the door at this time.

"Please come in," Wang Agui shouted with a frown. It's really a matter of one file after another, what else is going on?

It was Han Yan who came in, Han Yan smiled embarrassedly at everyone present, and then went straight to Wang Agui's side, to everyone's surprise, Han Yan actually leaned into Wang Agui's ear and whispered something, and blocked her mouth with a small hand, as if she was talking about something secret, so secret that everyone here couldn't know it.

Everyone's eyes were on Wang Agui, Wang Agui's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, his face was becoming more and more uncertain, the muscles on his face were twitching slightly, and the green tendons on his forehead were slowly expanding, everyone couldn't see whether Wang Agui was happy or angry, Wang Agui never hid his joys, sorrows and sorrows in front of the old players.

A crisp sound came from the silent conference room, and everyone hurriedly looked, only to see that the laser pointer in Wang Agui's hand was pinched in two by the only strong hand.

"Dismissed" Wang Agui stood up "rubbing", no one paid attention to him, followed Han Yan almost ran out of the conference room, and the sound of Wang Agui's sneakers and Han Yan's "click" of small leather shoes came from the corridor.

"What are you doing? Follow the past" Chen Ergou was the first to react, and he didn't care about cleaning up the computer, so he raised his legs and ran outside, and everyone reacted and ran one after another.

Wang Agui, who had a solemn face, almost rushed all the way to the communication room, and the soldiers who went back and forth in the corridor gave way, so there was an unsettling scene in the corridor: Wang Agui strode in front of him, his steps were heavy and orderly, Han Yan was nervously pushing in the back, and the "click" sound from the small leather shoes stimulated the heartstrings of every soldier around.

Whether it was a new team member or an old team member, it was the first time to see Wang Agui so anxious, but when they were surprised, a large group of officers from various departments followed them in a panic and ran past them again, such an abnormal scene made the team members who saw this scene couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats, and they were afraid that they would encounter those devastating battles again.

Wang Agui, who was standing in the communication room, gasped and stared at the specially built table, on which was a radio station like an ordinary large suitcase - silver-white, simple like a box except for a few necessary knobs and control buttons, but it was the main force of the team's current communication - the high-power, god-like communication radio.

Next to the communication station, a headset was quietly placed on the table, which was a headset that only Han Yan could wear—wide, sturdy, and also silvery-white; Regarding this earphone, who dares to touch it, Han Yan dares to dispose of it with a military stick.

In the communication room, several handsome female soldiers stood motionless and did not dare to move, they didn't even have the courage to sit, these female soldiers were all girls from the Nagano base, each of them was a girl who had experienced strong winds and waves with the Eighth Independent Division, and each of them was a girl who was qualified to enter the underground prehistoric shelter.

But now, for the first time, they saw the appearance of the boss who had always been cold and deep, and what he was staring at was the strange headphones that Han Yan strictly ordered no one to move.

"Don't look at it, take it quickly." The panting Han Yan pushed the stunned Wang Agui and whispered.

Wang Agui stretched out his hand and picked up the earphones, his brown leather jacket was trembling slightly, no one had ever seen Wang Agui's hands tremble like this, even when he jumped into the vast sea of corpses that day, he didn't see him tremble.

"Hey, hello, I'm Wang Agui." Wang Agui put on the headphones with trembling hands, dialed the microphone, and sounded in a deep voice.

"Hello Gui, I'm Feng Jian." An old and familiar voice echoed in Wang Agui's ears.

。。。

"According to our army's ammunition storage technology, I can conclude that they must have placed inert gas in the storage when it was sealed, so that it is not a problem to store these weapons and ammunition for hundreds of years in such a dry desert environment.

Moreover, this arsenal is unexpectedly large, and there is certainly no longer a small amount of inert gas in it, so I think that as long as we do not go deep into the bottom of the depot and tightly disassemble and assemble the peripheral weapons, it will not be enough to cause too much harm to the balance of the entire depot. Chen Zhong finished his decision.

"Due to the urgency of time, and as little as possible not to disturb the balance of the basement, I do not recommend sending a large number of warriors down, I suggest that Red Moon and Blue Snow go down and set up the pulleys and cableway, and then they will be responsible for carrying them underneath, and they will put their weapons into the ropeway, and the warriors outside will pull them to the ground." Cheng Fei said his advice, and only a very small number of veteran team members knew that the twins did not need to breathe, and it was just right for the two of them to go down.

"Brother Cheng, do you want to scare us to death?" Hongyue, who was in charge of recording on the side, frowned and protested.

"Don't worry about Red Moon, I'm not done yet." Cheng Fei continued to click the mouse and smiled at Hongyue, "According to our inventory, we currently have 60 sets of oxygen cylinders, so there will be 20 warriors below in batches to give Hongyue and Lanxue courage and vigilance; However, since the human body cannot perform strenuous physical labor when carrying an oxygen cylinder, the main force of work is still the two of them - the Red Moon girl, it's okay to work, right? ”

"Ah, you're scared me to death, it's no problem to work." Hongyue stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, she thought that the two of them would go down, although the two of them were more powerful than Yanyun, but they were not as bold as Yanyun.

"After we get enough munitions, the construction team will use wood and cement sandwich to seal the entrance with at least three seals of moisture, fire and sand," Lao Zhou proposed a sealing plan.

"We have dozens of anti-tank mines in stock, and during this time we will make a batch of land mines according to the land mine manufacturing method taken from the original Lanzhou garrison headquarters, and after the depot is sealed, we will set up several layers of sub-mother mines around all the vents, and we will not take back hundreds of tons of explosives from the mining area? It's enough for future generations to drink a pot," Pang Wanlong laid out his own plan.

"During this time, I took people to dig a small basement at No. 2 Mountain, Agui, you give me a batch of space magnifiers; Let's set up an ecstasy array, let's throw it inside without using box cannons and 38 big covers, when the latecomers find out that the so-called arsenal is not small, but there is nothing in it, they will die," Chen Ergou said.

"Very well, let's all do our own thing from tomorrow, time is pressing, and we may have a fierce battle." Wang Agui motioned for everyone to adjourn.

"Agui, can I ask, how powerful is this national secret laboratory?" Cheng Fei saw that everyone had nothing to say, so he asked.

Cheng Fei's subtext is, is it worth paying such a big casualty for this group of researchers? Cheng Fei had never been to the Zhongnanshan Laboratory, and Wang Agui's explanation retained a considerable part of the details, so not only Cheng Fei, but also the team members who had never been to Zhongnanshan were confused.

"This Steyr and those two Humvees are their products, and the technology and production capacity they have is definitely not something we can imagine." Wang Agui pointed to the group photos hanging on the wall of the conference room, he is still not sure whether to let Cheng Fei know the ultimate secret of the Zhongnanshan laboratory, and he will talk about it when he meets Feng Jian.

Cheng Fei, Lao Zhou, Pang Wanlong, Liu Wei, and Ou Da, who joined the team after the Battle of Tongshan, looked up at the group photos of the large ones.

Those photos are from the time of coming out of Zhongnan Mountain to before the Battle of Chalengkou, from the initial 30 people to more than 200 people later, the familiar faces are either in or no longer there, but the dark green heavy Steyr military card has not changed, just from these photos, you can see how strong and powerful the military card is, and how advanced the technology of the person who can build it should have.

"There will definitely be casualties at that time, but rest assured, there will be a group of damned people to be cannon fodder." Wang Agui smiled hideously. The people at the conference table were stunned for a moment and laughed knowingly, and the huge conference room erupted into a grim laugh.

According to Oda's instructions, everyone quickly dug a vent under a boulder to the basement, and the loader's huge power easily pushed the boulder away.

According to the line drawn by Ouda, three hydraulic crushers began to crush the cement layer, and the old-fashioned cement was naturally not as strong as before the corpse chaos, but in this way, the three crushers still consumed six breakers to dig up the concrete layer with a thickness of one meter.

After removing the crusher, a dozen fighters used air hammers to expand the open hole into a 3m x 2m rectangular entrance, and then began to install a pulley system on the outside.

At the same time, Pang Wanlong took his special forces and Lao Huang to make a batch of land mines according to the drawings left during the mine war, and these land mines will be arranged in a net with standard mines, even if someone knows the situation here, don't die and don't want to get close to here.

Over there, Chen Ergou led people to dig a cave with a complex structure but not large in the camp tent of No. 2 Mountain, and placed a 50-fold space magnifier in the cave, smoothed the edges of the sand and gravel with cement, and painted some slogans that only existed in that era;

A large number of unloaded or scrapped guns were left in the team, along with some of the garbage found everywhere, so that the large "basement" resembled the legendary basement, except that it had been emptied.

When the demoman blasted the moisture barrier in the vent, the basement was officially penetrated, and the pulley system on this side had been installed, and the next thing was to go in and get the weapons and ammunition...

That morning, the loader was parked outside the vents, the pulley system and trolley were installed, and Red Moon and Blue Snow were ready to go down to the basement. The secret that Red Moon and Blue Snow is a mechanical body is known only to a very few people, so the two of them donned the same mine suits as the people who went down together.

"Old Jin, be careful—girl, it's up to you." Wang Agui patted Jin Yutang's shoulder and touched the twins' heads to signal them to be careful.

"Wait for our good news." Jin Yutang pulled on the sealing suit, gave everyone a thumbs up and climbed the descending rope.

"You're looking down on us up there." Red Moon tugged Wang Agui's arm and Lan Xue grabbed the descending rope, and then waved at everyone.

The biological engine began to start, and the first group of people began to descend along the descent rope, and the hearts of everyone on the ground were raised at the same time. Although most of the fighters didn't understand why they had to let two seemingly delicate girls go down with a group of muscular veterans, it was well known that Wang Agui's two girls who said they were secretaries but were actually wives were very powerful.

Wang Agui followed the whereabouts of everyone through the footage of the wireless camera on the ground, these 22 people are all veterans of the team, they have all been to the underground shelter together, they have experience and courage.

The vent is an "L" shaped cement building, from the ground to the ventilation duct there is a circular hole with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 5 meters, this part has been ventilated, the construction team has installed lighting facilities and ventilation fans in it, and 10 strong soldiers are here to respond.

Jin Yutang and the others descended to the bottom of the cave and saw a ramp with the same diameter of 3 meters extending down 15 degrees, this is the ventilation pipe, how long no one knows, the moisture-proof door opened by the blasting team is 5 meters away from here, and behind the moisture-proof door is still an unfathomable pipe of the same diameter.

Jin Yutang walked in front with three people, all of them holding crossbows in their hands - guns are useless where there is no oxygen. The warriors in the back were on guard with heavy spearguns, and Red Moon and Blue Snow were sandwiched in the middle of the group; The fighters at the back laid wires and wire ropes as they walked, and the 22 men walked down little by little.

Seeing the black, seemingly endless ventilation duct through the monitor, everyone couldn't help but pinch
