Chapter 884 Underground Prison, Must Be Underground?
Berding is an obscure town located in northern California. August 1 Chinese ≈.
It is surrounded by desert on three sides, and the only road leading to the outside world is also affected by wind and sand all year round. In the event of a sandstorm, the few residents of the town are left to fend for themselves.
Constrained by such a complex geographical environment and harsh natural environment, the aborigines in the town are decreasing year by year.
However, as the northern gate of several important economic cities in California, the green space here is gradually covered with silk, which has also brought bad effects to these cities.
Every year, the storm from north to south always causes economic cities to suffer from sandstorms as well. Then, since the nineties of the last century, under a series of incentive policies of the government, many gardeners who have been fooled here have begun to work here year after year.
After so many years, the area of green space has increased, but the population is still decreasing......
The main reason is that the environment here is too harsh, and the desert climate of Berding turns on the barbecue mode in summer, and the surface temperature can fry eggs. Once the temperature reaches minus 30 degrees Celsius on Christmas Eve, the locals can start to doubt life.
More importantly, the reserves of local groundwater sources are relatively sparse. Although several government projects for the benefit of the people have diverted water to this side. But I still can't stand the long-term squandering.
To put it bluntly, this is a barren but vital town. The reason why it is important is that if he has several economic regions along the coast, he will be spared the baptism of sand and dust.
This is a bit like the role of a certain region of Inner Mongolia in China for Greater Kyoto.
However, who would have thought that the world-famous but infamous 'underground prison' is located in this area. Many countries and organizations know that prisons are located somewhere in this area. However, no one can give an accurate answer as to where it is.
Even many institutions are suspicious that the news of the 'underground prison' was deliberately released by cIa. Its purpose is to use this as a 'bait' to attract more cIa hostile groups, and send people here one after another.
The scene where the gourd baby saves his grandfather is staged at a certain time every year. Especially when the monsoon from north to south begins to baptize the town, the sandstorms hinder the 'connection' with the outside world.
This has also caused many organizations and institutions to mistakenly regard this time as the best time to rescue. Who knows, what you can deduce, cIa can do. And people just need to wait for the rabbit to wait for work!
The sandstorm cut off the town's connection with the outside world, affecting not only him, but also the bandits. In other words, you can't get out and you can't get in touch with the outside world.
In this case, cIa, as the host, will be more targeted to 'catch turtles in the urn'.
It makes you infinitely close to the 'truth', and makes you unable to move an inch in an instant. Over the years, the agents, killers, and mercenaries who have died in other places have piled up the murderous name of the 'underground prison'.
also made this town, which was originally forgotten because of its 'barrenness', be given a 'murderous name'. Perhaps, this is the root cause of the gradual decline in the population of the town?
After all, as long as you are a normal person, you will not choose to be in dire straits!
Six hours ago, he was smuggled out of Juarez. Xiao Zhan and the others did not choose the 'Sunshine Avenue', but ran across the desert from the Xiding area towards Boerding.
All five of them carried a weight of 100 pounds, and the water source accounted for only one-tenth, and the rest were all high explosives. At the beginning, when Xiao Zhan asked Katrina for so many high explosives, even she was stunned.
Carrying so much explosives, let alone entering Burding. Someone 'seized' on the way! However, Xiao Zhan and others, who did not take the usual path, chose a more difficult but relatively safe route.
The information that Katrina gave Xiao Zhan and others about the 'underground prison', in the latter's opinion, was nothing more than a few valuable clues.
Several projects for the benefit of the people prepared by the government run through the entire underground of Berding. Only fifteen kilometers south of the town is a blank area. But after these 15 kilometers, the north-south project was reconnected. In other words, the government's project is, in a sense, a bit of a 'circle' around the near and far.
Although after that, it was proven here by so-called experts that there were oil reserves. But as far as Katrina's eyeliner feedback is concerned, although equipment has been built here for so many years, it has never really been mined.
However, there are nearly 100 people registered around this 'oil field'. In addition, this area has also been the focus of many organizations' 'inventory' in recent years.
Another suspected location is the 'KS' energy project at the front of the town. It is a research site for wind and solar energy projects led by the local government.
The complex geographical environment has created a 'unique' Berding. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with placing the research institute and the experimental site here.
However, when the 'underground prison' is partially organized and organized in this area, the meaning of the existence of this scientific research seems to be 'different'.
The yellow sand buried the entire upper of the military boots, and the corners of Xiao Zhan and the others, who were struggling to move forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, were already cracked. A few people who stain their lips with water from time to time rarely choose to enter the water. It's not that they don't want to take a few sips, in such a harsh environment, drinking the few fresh water reasonably is the key to their successful arrival at their destination.
Looking at the endless sand dunes, Xiao Daguan, who stopped from time to time, determined the current position of several people through the locator. Then, compare the map and make a reasonable route planning.
It has been nearly six hours since the desert was introduced, and it was learned through the meteorological department. In about five hours, a new monsoon will be wreaking havoc here.
This is also the reason why Xiao Zhan waited for an extra day in Ciudad Juarez!
Although the sandstorms caused by the monsoon can also cause a lot of inconvenience to their movements. But I have to admit that if they want to 'take chestnuts from the fire' in the territory of Lao Mei, the right time and location are their indispensable help.
Cotton swab insertion. Get into the kettle and spit on your chapped lips. Xiao Zhan and the others, who were afraid of wasting a drop of water, repeated such actions for a long time.
The tank was the one with the most weight among the several people. Not only does he have to carry the same amount of high explosives, but he also has to help the kestrel carry the necessary communication equipment and high technology.
They all have the experience of surviving in the desert, even if several people are tired at this time, it is not suitable to rest under such a scorching sun. Walking through the desert is a contest of 'endurance', and it is best not to stop moving forward without resting during this period. Otherwise, it will increase the loss of water in the body.
Talk less, walk more.
During these six hours, most of the conversations between the people were expressed in gestures. It wasn't until Xiao Zhan was sure that the five of them were still two hours away from their destination at most, that he raised his fist and signaled a few people to stop.
"Replenish the water, and at this point, we still have two hours to reach the destination. With five hours to go before the monsoon, we have three hours to complete the survey of the suspected site. Hurry up and ......"
After saying this, Xiao Zhan pulled out his saber like the others and walked towards the cacti not far away. As one of the few green plants that can survive in the desert, in general, where cacti gather, there will be animals that survive in harsh environments again.
They mostly live under the roots of cacti, and the 'blood' produced by these animals is another means of replenishing their physical strength and water. Among them, vertebrates such as pythons and rattlesnakes are the best supplements.
The brothers have returned to the era of Ru Mao drinking blood. In this endless desert, being able to survive is the biggest motivation.
Xiao Daguan, who was sitting in the shade of a cactus, was still flipping through the information of the 'KS' energy project. Not far away, Tank and Takeshi made a bet who could take out the 'animals' that could be used to replenish their physical strength from the ground as soon as possible. A kestrel that has long been excavated, chewing on the roots with water in its mouth. And the hunter who digs out the wet soil from the ground puts it on the tip of his nose and sniffs it.
This is the most common scenario in the desert survival rules. Sometimes, if you really travel long distances in the desert, you have to collect your own urine.
'Oh oh ......' accompanied by the shouting of the tank, a rattlesnake more than a meter long was pulled out of the bottom of the hole by him.
skillfully squeezed out the snake gall bladder located at seven inches of the snake's body, and after carefully placing it in the container, he rudely tore off the snake's head, poured it upside down, and raised his neck, so that the blood in the snake's body fully dripped into his mouth.
"Come, come, brothers, one by one. Hurry up! Big supplement......"
When it was Xiao Zhan's turn, this guy put down the information in his hand and took a small bite. The reason why the snake is called a 'cold-blooded animal' does have its own path. Its blood is also a few degrees Celsius lower than that of other animals, so with such a hot relief, drinking a sip of snake blood is undoubtedly like eating a popsicle in the city to relieve the heat.
The hunter, whose mouth was stained with wet soil and snake blood, came to his squad leader's side at this time. It's not that he doesn't wipe it sloppyly, but the wet soil and blood left on the surface of the corners of his mouth can prevent the corners of his mouth from drying out. However, at this time, the image of the hunter does look a little 'scary'.
To tell the truth, none of the images of a few people in the city look normal.
Looking at the information of 'KS' energy in his hand, the hunter raised his head and said, "Head, are you more inclined to scientific research institutes?" ”
Xiao Zhan, who also did not wipe the corners of his mouth, nodded heavily and explained: "I am thinking from the perspective of 'infrastructure'. The underground prison is known as the safest prison in the world, and it should be 'traceable' in terms of equipment and preparation. Although there are also signs of this in this oil field, a world-class prison cannot be so 'hasty' in terms of construction schedule. ”
"In addition, from the analysis of a series of infrastructure such as electricity, water sources, and communication equipment, the 'KS' energy project near Berding has such conditions."
After Xiao Zhan finished saying this, the kestrel who had summarized the information for him continued softly: "But as far as satellite detection is concerned, there is no trace of large-scale excavation under the ground of the energy project. As he said this, the kestrel pulled out a photo taken by a spy satellite.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan asked with a smile, "What's your tank brother's nickname?" ”
"Huh? Two dogs! ”
"Is he a dog?"
"Rely on ......" waited until the tank heard the words of his squad leader, and raised his middle finger and cursed.
And Xiao Zhan replied with a smile: "The underground prison, it must be underground?" Don't be deceived by subjective consciousness, the truth is often the opposite. ”
