Chapter Thirty-Six: The Abandoned Base
readx;
The stone wall was wet, Liu Wei touched it, and found that the wall was full of holes of different sizes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's supposed to be a piece of lava, and the minerals dissolved and left these holes." Zhou Yulong glanced at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei nodded, took two steps back, and clenched his fists.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Fen grabbed Liu Wei, "There may be an underground river in the back, if you break through the wall, we will all have to die here." ”
"The air flow is coming from the other side of the wall, and even if there is an underground river, the water level will not be very high."
As soon as Liu Wei said this, Zhou Fen let go.
The rock was fragile and shattered after a few punches from Liu Wei. Behind the wall is indeed an underground river, only the water level is not yet knee-high.
After widening the gap, a group of mermaids drilled through.
"Look at these." Bao Liuqing touched the rock next to the gap, stretched out his tongue and licked it, "Calcium carbonate, the water level didn't pass the top of your head before." It seems that it has only come down in the past few years. ”
"How many years?" Liu Wei frowned, "It's hard to judge, anyway, this is an underground river." ”
"Come over here." Zhou Yulong shouted in front, "There is an upward passage." ”
The crowd rushed over at once.
It was indeed an upward passage, and it was evident that it was a hewn passage, and there was a thigh-thick water pipe on the left side of the rock wall.
After a while, Liu Wei and the others entered an underground hall and also saw the light.
Not the lights, but the light that came in through a few skylights overhead.
Without Liu Wei's instructions, Zhou Yulong climbed up the rock crevice and climbed out from the lower skylight.
After a while, Zhou Yulong appeared at the skylight and said to the people below, "Do you know where we are now?" Come up and have a look. ”
Zhou Fen and Bao Liuqing immediately climbed up, and Takeuchi Kotone and the others also climbed out of the skylight.
The Mobei wolf did not move, but wandered around.
"What, is there something wrong?"
"Look at these." Mobei Wolf squatted down and pointed to a few small pits on the ground, "It's very regular, it doesn't seem to be naturally generated, there is a very heavy thing here, and it has four legs, it must be some kind of equipment." If you look at it, it's pretty much the same in other places, it must have been a base before. ”
"Taliban's underground base?"
"No way, it's so close, if it is, I already know."
Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and at this time, a slight noise came.
Seeing that the Mobei wolf suddenly became vigilant, Liu Wei knew that he had heard it correctly at first, and it was indeed abnormally loud.
The two of them rushed almost simultaneously in the direction from which the sound came.
"It's right in front, don't let him slip away!"
After chasing more than 100 meters, the two entered an underground passage and chased for dozens of meters, Liu Wei suddenly stopped his steps and stretched out his hand to stop the Mobei wolf who was following up.
"Where ...... he?"
After asking it, Mobei Wolf knew that this question was meaningless, because there was an underground hall in front of him, and there were dozens of holes in all directions, and the target they were chasing had disappeared without a trace.
What surprised the two even more was that the underground hall was full of all kinds of equipment, and all of them were relatively advanced equipment.
It is only obvious that these devices have been abandoned for several years, and many of them are rusty and rotten.
"Go and call them." Liu Wei pulled out his pistol and walked to the first hole on the left.
Mobei Wolf didn't say much, and immediately went back to find Zhou Yulong and them.
Liu Wei searched the third hole, and Mobei Wolf rushed back with the others.
It didn't take much effort, and everyone searched all the holes, and found that they were all underground halls with no exits.
That guy must still be here!
Liu Wei and the others did not stop, and after letting Takeuchi Kotone and Takahara Miyuki guard the only exit, everyone worked in pairs and began to search the hall full of instruments and equipment from four directions.
"Here!"
Hearing Zhou Fen's shout, the others immediately rushed over.
"It must have slipped through here." Zhou Fen pointed to the hole in the ground with a diameter of about half a meter.
Seeing the entrance of the cave, Liu Wei immediately thought of the corpse throwing mouth in the FPF experimental base, and Mobei Wolf also thought of it.
"Find a rope, and I'll go down and have a look."
"I'd better go down." Bao Liuqing said as he took off the armed belt on his body.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow, Liu Wei must have struggled after entering, Bao Liuqing is a little slimmer, and there is still room to move.
Liu Wei didn't say much, took a cable from Zhou Yulong's hand and handed it to Zhou Fen.
After tying the cable around his waist, Bao Liuqing put the dagger to his mouth, pulled out his pistol, and then drilled his head forward.
Zhou Fen and Zhou Yulong dragged the cable, and after about fifty meters, Bao Liuqing pulled it twice below. The two did not hesitate and quickly dragged her back.
"There's an underground river down there, and it's very fast." Bao Liuqing wiped his hair, "I didn't find anything, even if someone got in from here, they would definitely die." ”
"Search again."
Half an hour later, the crowd searched again, but still did not find anything.
"Old wolf."
"You thought of it too?" Mobei Wolf walked over, "Isn't it very similar to the FPF's underground experimental base?" Just look at the equipment here, it should have been some years, and it is not very advanced, but the scale is much larger than the FPF underground experimental base, and there are a lot of American goods. ”
"Yankees?"
Mobei Wolf nodded and said, "This reminds me of something. ”
"What?" Liu Wei took out a cigarette. Bao Liuqing was checking the equipment and wouldn't come over to disturb them.
"The last two times I came to Afghanistan, you were looking for something, and I came here twice, as if I was looking for something, but I didn't find it."
"You mean ......"
"Perhaps, that's what he's looking for." Mobei Wolf glanced around.
Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Anyway, this should be a secret experimental base of the US military, and it is related to the 'Future Soldier' program." ”
"Maybe not the U.S. military." Zhou Yulong walked over.
Liu Wei glanced at him and handed over the cigarette that he had taken two puffs.
"Do you know where we are?" Zhou Yulong took a puff before returning the cigarette to Liu Wei. "Outside is where we're going, and you don't need a telescope to see it."
"Mines?"
Zhou Yulong nodded and said: "It is very close to the mine, maybe it is here that American companies discovered copper ore." ”
"If that's the case, it's the U.S. companies that are contracting the 'Future Soldiers' project that are doing the experiments here, and the U.S. military is only responsible for providing security." Mobei Wolf smiled and said, "Whether it is our FOS or the FPF of the book, large-scale [***] experiments need to be conducted, and the 'Future Soldier' of the United States is no exception." A few years ago, the United States conducted experiments on prisoners, and as a result, there was a scandal of 'prisoner abuse'. If I were a Yankee, I'd build a base here and get [***] test subjects nearby. ”
"Those caves must have been used to imprison [***] test subjects." Zhou Yulong glanced around.
"After discovering the underground copper mine, the Yankees knew that paper could not contain fire, and as long as the exploration work was in full swing, this experimental base would be exposed, so they took the initiative to abandon it."
"There is no exit from this cave, it must have been artificially blocked."
"Or maybe there is no hole at all, this place was originally washed out by the underground river, and the Yankees just managed to lower the water level of the underground river." Liu Wei threw away his cigarette butt and said, "I have to go down and have a look to confirm this judgment, and I will know how long this base has existed." ”
"You ......"
"I can breathe underwater." Liu Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
Seeing that Liu Wei was resolute, and he could indeed breathe underwater, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong didn't say much, and put Liu Wei down with a cable.
After Liu Wei entered the underground river, the cable was loosened at once.
"He's going to be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Mobei Wolf groped through a few pockets, only to find that his pack of cigarettes had already finished smoking, "Do you have any cigarettes on your body?" ”
Zhou Yulong took out his cigarette case and took out two of them.
By the time the two of them finished smoking a cigarette, the cable tightened again.
After dragging Liu Wei up, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Yankees blew up the outlet of the underground river, causing it to flow into the small river outside." Liu Wei said as he took off his shirt and pants, "Old wolf, when did the U.S. military carry out a major project here?" ”
"Five years ago, half a year before I came to Afghanistan with you for the first time, the U.S. military carried out a blast downstream, saying that it was to build a reservoir to solve the drinking water problem in the town of Varsaty."
"How many people are there in the town?"
"Less than three thousand."
"Is it necessary to build a reservoir?" Liu Wei smiled and wrung out the water in his pants, "Obviously, the construction of this place started five years ago, the construction period is at least half a year, and it started operation four and a half years ago." American companies discovered the copper mine four years ago, so the base was quickly abandoned. ”
"Not so fast, it should have been abandoned two and a half years ago."
Liu Wei glanced at Mobei Wolf and put on his pants.
"At that time, the reserves were discovered, and the Afghan political axe came forward to invite tenders, and exploration teams from other countries entered the area. If the Yankees had been more daring, they might have been operating for another year, because a year and a half ago, large-scale exploration work had officially begun, and most of the previous exploration work had been undertaken by American companies, and companies from other countries entering the region had to obtain permission from the US military, and they were accompanied by the US military throughout the process. ”
"In this way, the Yankees have been working here for almost three years, and they must have gained a lot."
"Do you want to poke this out?" Zhou Yulong asked.
Liu Wei put on his clothes and said: "There is no need for this, this is the US military defense area, even if we poke the news out, the US military will prevent reporters from entering on the grounds of safety." In just two or three days, the US military will be able to dispose of these instruments and equipment, and all problems will be solved. ”
Mobei Wolf nodded and said, "It's better not to do anything, everyone's butts are not clean." ”
"Let's go, let's go up and have a look." Liu Wei smiled, called Zhou Fen and his wife, Takeuchi Qinyin and others, and left the underground experimental hall.
After climbing out of the skylight, Liu Wei knew that Zhou Yulong didn't say much.
The secret factory used to dissolve the gold was not far away, and the roar of the exhaust fans was clearly audible, and the little devils in the factory must have been busy.
