Chapter 240: The Gates of Hell

The resort's large auditorium maintained its usual Soviet and Russian atmosphere, and the foyer was greeted by several large, bulky Eastern Roman columns from the ground to the sky, and the windows were square, wide and tall, and the walls were thick enough for a person to lie horizontally. Inside, all the rooms have raised wooden floors, and in the spring one can open the vents under the floor keel to keep the room cool and breathable, and in the winter to keep the vents tight......

The auditorium building has four floors, with a stairwell in the center of the hall and a staircase leading to the main entrance. This set of suspended staircases divides the ground floor into four or five different open living rooms, and next to the staircase are two counters arranged in a figure-eight pattern. Extending from the counter is a long bar sink.

From this staircase, on both sides of the stairs on the second and third floors, there are two conference halls of the same size, one on the left and one on the right, which is also the ballroom and small theater of the resort. Only on the top floor is the left and right halls merged into one, forming a bright, spacious rooftop auditorium.

During the Soviet era, the resort was a place for the local armored soldiers to have fun. And the Soviet-Russian elite has never been enjoyed at any cost, and this estate occupies such a vast area, but there are only a few houses; The auditorium is so large, but there are only a few halls that can serve guests. The scenery of Ashgabat is not distinctive, and the redevelopment of this resort into a hotel or a private club or something is not necessarily how many tourists will favor here, and the input and output may not be proportional in the end.

As a result, the resort was abandoned for many years. For many years, the common people around the estate had on their minds to reopen the resort and turn it into an entertainment venue for tourists and the wealthy and leisurely, so that the local land price would increase and the girls would be able to work in the clubs......

After An Feng bought the resort this time, it seemed that the nearby villagers vaguely saw hope. With An Feng's arrival, bits and pieces, many men and women from all over the world have arrived one after another, unobtrusively entering the farm - it seems that the new owner of this resort is powerful and is building publicity for the resort.

Subsequently, the resort began to hire security guards and cleaners...... All of these actions suggest that the new owners of the farm are interested in repackaging the property so that it can generate great benefits, rather than wasting money there.

The guests who came from all over the world were young people...... In fact, these young people are all members of the Super Intelligence Association and the Prometheus Association, at least the peripheral personnel of those associations, and the expenses of their trip are all covered by An Feng. An Feng used the banner of sponsoring the two associations and using them to establish good relations with them. The Association can use this sponsorship to reward its loyal supporters and enthusiastic members.

Although Ashgabat has no scenery, Turkmenistan has a world-famous scenic place - the "Gates of Hell".

It seems that this habit of asking others to help you spend money with a lot of money is a typical dandy syndrome. A foreign playboy invited a bunch of friends over to see the local scenery...... The residents of the resort quickly understood An Feng's loser behavior.

After the playboy's group of friends came here, the lonely men and widows inevitably invited some local beautiful celebrity models to accompany them, and everyone had fun...... No one knew that these people's pleasure was to cover up An Feng's companions who came in and out of the resort. Under the cover of these people, the left hand, the right hand, wild cats, lizards and others quietly entered the resort farm.

Odenny, Fat Girl, Roger and Joseph, who arrived later, also arrived in Ashgabat a day later, and after Oldney and Fat Girl entered the farm, they occupied an entire small building alone and began to set up satellite dishes to build a temporary command center, while Joseph and Roger stayed in a hotel near the farm as ordinary tourists, pretending to be ordinary tourists and waiting for the departure order.

In fact, Joseph and Roger can not be used this time, for example, An Feng did not let Michelle follow this time, he asked Michelle to go to nearby Azerbaijan, so that there is an unexpected situation that can be dealt with at any time, but An Feng does not think that Michelle can be used in this operation. Because this is a blitzkrieg, this is a violent trial.

An Feng, who came to this country as a playboy, naturally had to take a group of friends around hippie - in fact, this group of friends An Feng didn't know any of them, he was a patron of the club, funded two high-IQ clubs, and then the club rewarded members and active peripheral elements in the form of benefits...... Of course, the club will not explain to their members that An Feng is an external sponsor, and An Feng appears in front of everyone as an ordinary member of the club.

After a week of roaring around the city with a large group of men and women, the local news chased this group of high-IQ tourists for a whole week, reporting that they were full of novelty, funny, funny, and imaginative hippie jokes that attracted enough attention. A week later, Danielle reported that the undercover agent had been picked up from Ashgabat and secretly taken to a nearby training camp, after which a special plane dragged the dandies to the "gates of hell"

Before the group set off, the local commandos took up their positions, waiting for the signal for the assault, while the lizards and feral cats rushed to the vicinity of Hell's Gate.

More than 40 years ago, after a group of Soviet and Russian exploration team members withdrew their exploration derrick, a piece of soil under the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 100 meters, and toxic gases continued to emerge from this hole, in order to prevent the leakage of toxic gases, the exploration team decided to ignite the leaked natural gas. As a result, the raging fire has been burning for 43 years and has not been extinguished.

The cave is really hell, I don't know how many tons of high-quality gas have been burned over the years, experts say, it feels like the gas in the cave is endless, completely inexhaustible.

The best way to see the "Gates of Hell" is at night. When night falls, the entire Gates of Hell resemble a flame pit where the Lord of the Rings discarded the ring...... An Feng privately speculated that maybe the plot of the movie was filmed at the gates of hell.

In the dark, there is a big hole with a diameter of 100 meters on the ground, the whole cave entrance is red and bright, the fire on the cave wall is not burning, there are dozens of meters high pillars of fire, those flames are like lava streams, or like tongues of fire, keep wandering and scurrying on the cave wall, so the whole cave looks like a constantly jumping, orange-red devil's eyeball, and on this eyeball, a ball of flame swims away, emitting orange-red, dim and scorching fire.

An Feng had seen volcanic eruptions, he used to get as close as possible to the erupting crater, looking down at the churning lava crater, he did this to test his courage, to test his patience, although he was in the crater at that time, but there was no fear.

However, standing by the "Gate of Hell", unconsciously, he felt a little creepy, because this huge, orange-red eye seemed to be alive, and it kept jumping, flickering in and out, as if it was constantly blinking, flashing with malicious eyes, so that standing by the gate of Hell always felt that there was a cold atmosphere around him, even if the air around him was scorching.

The "Gates of Hell" spews out toxic gases, and of course, some natural gas, so visitors to the Gates of Hell wear respirators, and the exhaled air is filtered and clarified through two "pig's mouths". So, in the gloomy light, the group of tourists visiting the gates of hell were all unrecognizable, like a group of pig demons standing in the dark.

People with high IQs like excitement and challenges, although there is nothing to see about the "Gates of Hell", but this group of people from the Super Intelligence Association and the Prometheus Association are all full of excitement, they hold their cameras and take pictures one after another, and some of the more daring people try to use the landing rope to descend deeper into the flames and take clear pictures of the lower layers...... No one noticed that in the dark, An Feng had quietly retreated.

He was succeeded by ...... Odeni pretending to be him.

At this time, An Feng had already arrived at the parking lot a mile away from the "Gate of Hell" and sat in a Buick business car in the parking lot. There was no one else in the Buick business car, and An Feng and Danielle and her female guard, as well as a female computer hacker. The hacker girl flapped her fingers on the keyboard, crackling and tapping on the keyboard, calling up satellite images one after another, looking down on a valley village from multiple angles in the air.

An Feng said a long series of numbers next to him, which was the band and entry code of a communication channel. Danielle's female assistant stretched out her slender fingers and twisted the dial, fixed the frequency to what An Feng said, entered the decryption program, she exchanged a few words with the headphones, and then leaned over, took out a few pairs of headphones from the cabinet next to the desk, and handed them to An Feng and Danielle.

An Feng waved his hand and made a gesture of refusal, he didn't answer the headphones, but stared at the other party's slender white and slender fingers, and said in a daze: "What a beautiful finger, hey, you...... Is there any interest in transferring? I'm just missing someone ......."

"Carlson, you pervert", Danielle forcibly interjected to interrupt An Feng's teasing: "This is my man, my woman"

Danielle then turned to the computer hacker: "Monica, men are scumbags, don't look at his handsome appearance and gentlemanly manners, in fact, he is a thief, he is ......"

At this moment, An Feng interrupted the other party, he pointed to his glasses frame, and then pointed to his ears, and explained with a smile: "Change the topic, I don't need headphones, my group members are ready, all communication channels are now open, this ......"

An Feng pointed to the headphones handed over by Danielle's female assistant, shook his head and said, "I can't fill my ears with two sound frequencies, so you'd better turn the sound received by the headphones into an external broadcast, and let the speaker directly play the received content." ”

Danielle looked around, and her female assistant immediately reminded softly: "Servia is nearby, we are safe, even if the voice leaks occasionally, for the locals, it is also a foreign language." ”

It is said that Danielle's group is made up entirely of women...... Well, Danielle is a feminist, to be correct to say that she is a lesbian, and her crew is also her girlfriend, a whole team of "blue" girlfriends.

Danielle rolled her eyes and accepted An Feng's suggestion, and with her nod, her female assistant, who was also her girlfriend, smiled sweetly at An Feng, reached out and unscrewed the horn on the communicator, and suddenly, the fat woman's soft voice came: "...... Well, now it's up to me to get the situation out. Our goal is to be a youth school.

That's right, they refer to similar youth bootcamps collectively as 'schools,' or 'bases.' And those who graduate from the school are called Taliban, which means 'student'...... Of course, there are also people who say that Taliban means: a religious student who is devout and can understand the scriptures correctly.

The Taliban, this word does not refer exclusively to the group of extremists in Afghanistan, in fact, the people who came out of the school all call themselves the Taliban, their views may be inconsistent, maybe the two groups of Taliban do not belong to the same sect, they are even hostile to each other, hostile to each other, and vendetta against each other, but they have the same purpose

Oh, I won't go into the other details, but what I'm going to tell you is that the students who came out of that valley school are fanatics who are not afraid of death, and even think that death is an honor that can ⊥ their family and their bereaved families have a better life and be cared for by others, so ...... If you are not sure of their deaths, don't think they are harmless.

You see, this small village on the screen used to be a natural village, and about six years ago, someone funded the relocation of the indigenous people of the small village to other places, and then a few families moved into this natural village and began to call themselves local indigenous people. They rebuilt the village and set up an armed outpost at the entrance of the village, and the village gradually became unknown......

The village is not a traffic thoroughfare, and no travelers pass through it unless they are specifically visited. For six years, if the people of the village did not associate with outsiders, outsiders might not even know about their life and death...... So we don't know anything about what happened in the past six years, and the Turkmen side doesn't have a record of six years ago......

Well, that's it, we can't get aerial photos of the village from six years ago. The village is so remote that it is hidden in the mountains and has little strategic value, so even past satellite aerial photographs completely ignore the past. According to...... Aerial photographs from three days ago show that the village has been partially remodeled, but there are not many buildings on the ground.

Lo and behold, a large hall was built in the centre of the village, and around the hall were built eight or nine houses in a circular shape - all of which I guessed from the exterior walls of the buildings, the cement of the exterior walls, and the isometric tests showed that they were only five or six years old.

But this is not enough, according to the monitoring of the village, there is often a mule team to bring them food during this time, according to the aerial photos of the village, there are several women still working in the fields around the village, they mainly grow vegetable fields, so I guess the mule team only transports food, no vegetables.

The mule team carried food every five days, twelve mules, and according to the volume of sacks carried by the mules, there must have been at least 100 people in the village, so the houses they built were far from enough for people to live in.

I don't have any data on the past, I don't know what happened to the village in the past, I don't know how much cement they had, and how much construction machinery they had, but I guess that the village still has underground structures, or at least a tunnel leading to the mountain behind the village, and in the middle of the mountain, there must be hidden caves that can accommodate about a hundred people. ”

The fat woman's voice paused, and continued: "To be honest, I am not in favor of taking action now, I think that the knowledge of this village is far from enough, I have not seen the telephone poles over this village, nor have I seen any power generation equipment, the current satellite data is incomplete, we don't know what the situation is in that small village at night, I need more buffer time." ”

An Feng turned his gaze to Danielle, who shook his head: "I don't understand this, I'm not from the assault group, I don't like fighting, killing and killing, there are only four people under me who like violence, well, they are a little good at violence, I can give these four people to you." I don't care what you do, and of course, there's nothing you can do. ”

Understood, Danielle likes to be a queen, relying on her money, she likes to keep and collect all kinds of female partners, for which she gathers a group of all kinds of lesbians, and then this guy calls himself a queen...

An Feng thought for a while and said: "Communication is inconvenient in the mountainous area, I need a signal forwarding vehicle, or a powerful signal repeater, and at the same time I need someone to help me maintain this signal repeater." ”

Danielle thought for a moment and replied: "I can find a nearby village, in the name of tourism investment or resource exploration, take my team to live in this village, and then set up a satellite receiver - this should not attract the attention of others, a group of foreign investors, naturally have to transmit information at any time, keep the communication open." ”

An Feng nodded: "My stand-in will continue to be in Ashgabat, leading that group of super-intelligent tourists to spend, I will take the rest into the mountains, and we will try to get as close to that small village as possible." Operation Ashgabat is under the command of my stand-in, and the mountains are mine. ”

Danielle immediately followed: "I will provide you with supplies in every way, and when you need support, I will summon reinforcements to your side." ”

Several people exchanged a few more words about the mission, leaving each other the communication address and the decryption code of the communication band, and An Feng took advantage of the darkness to say goodbye - he went directly to an airport forty kilometers away.

Four hours later, in the deepest darkness of the night, a state-of-the-art electric engine helicopter quietly landed at this private airport, which took off from Ashgabat, brought the equipment needed by An Feng and others, and took advantage of the night to climb onto the plane, change their clothes on the plane, recheck the equipment, and the plane headed towards the Kopet mountains.

In the darkness, the six members of the assault team descended on the dark and strange mountains, and an unknown fate awaited them......
