Chapter 57 (II) The Face in the Firelight
"The second team of the implanters has been dispatched." The inspector on the submarine reported that the first mate sitting in the captain's seat only nodded slightly, turning his head to look at the communications officer on the other side.
The signal soldier looked back at the first mate, shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "There is no signal, and the general and they still can't be contacted, should we let the people of the second squad go down to look for them?" ”
"Isn't that nothing to do? General Gu has already arrived, if we send someone again, he will say that we don't believe him, and this is also a violation of the order of the intelligence headquarters, the order from the Ark is to let General Gu go alone, and the second team only needs to transport the diving equipment and other items he needs to the coast. The first mate replied, although his heart was also up and down, in fact, how could the people on the army side not?
Although the contradiction between Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng is not on the surface, they will move around each other from time to time on weekdays, after all, both of them are heroes in Shangdu's brochure, although Reinhardt did not put the two on the same level as Tang Shuxing, but from the powerful propaganda, it can be seen that their importance in the eyes of the Lord of Creation.
After Gu Huaiyi took full control of the army and Ji Kefeng mastered the navy and air force, these contradictions began to take root within the army, the army looked down on the air force and navy, believing that all battles on land had to rely on their flesh and blood, while the air force and navy felt that without their transportation and cover, the army would not win a single battle.
However, only Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng knew completely that the troops in their hands were only a part, elite troops. The power of the special service paratroopers, marines, and special operations forces is actually in the hands of the Intelligence Bureau, that is, Xia Jiezhu, and belongs to a separate branch of the military.
The number of these three arms alone is 450,000, of which 200,000 are special service paratroopers and 200,000 are marines, and the remaining 50,000 are all special operations forces.
The rest of the Shangdu Defense Force, although they are all corpse soldiers, are not considered deep clinical corpses, they are just ordinary. Stronger than the Resistance. However, it cannot be compared to the corpse soldiers of the paratroopers, marines, and special forces, many of whom are highly sensitive corpses for night operations such as the Moon Kill.
And these three units rarely show up, and their training bases are also top secret. Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng couldn't reach it. Other words. Until 7 years later, Reinhardt's trust in Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng was still reserved, even in the past seven years. These two have achieved "absolute loyalty".
……
When the second team of implanters sent the equipment to the coast, they immediately helped Gu Huaiyi put it on, these were anti-freeze and anti-pressure clothing, and there was an underwater thruster with a spare engine, which had a long flight time and carried a fixed underwater rifle.
After Gu Huaiyi finished dressing, he listened to the instructions coming from the intercom, and the voice of this instruction was none other than Reinhardt.
Gu Huaiyi stood there stunned, just listened blankly, and replied mechanically: "Yes, understood." ”
Then, Gu Huaiyi glanced at the people around him, and slowly walked into the sea with the assistance of others, and then dived, after diving, the people of the implanter team glanced at each other, no one spoke, just waited for nearly half an hour, and waited until Gu Huaiyi almost disappeared into the range that they couldn't even notice when they went into the sea, and then returned to the sea and returned to the submarine.
On the shore, only the lone heavy loader was left, sitting on a block of ice, facing the cold wind, staring blankly at the sea.
In the sea cave castle, Tang Shuxing finally approached the position of the main tower from the second floor, this castle is very strange, the door of the main tower is on the second floor, this kind of building that violates the principle of architecture does not know how to maintain standing for hundreds of years, it seems that the construction of the main tower completely depends on the foundation under the castle, and the hall on the first floor can support those huge stone pillars, these styles are obviously very different from the architectural style of the ancient Russian castle, some mixed and matched feeling.
The entrance and exit of the four smaller guard towers in the east, west, south and north are respectively on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors, each floor corresponds to a guard tower, the same as the entrance of the main tower, even two people can not enter and exit in parallel, the most important thing is that the door of the main tower is locked, the stone door can not be broken, the only thing that can be opened is only the door of the east guard tower on the third floor, which is opened when pushed,
Tang Shuxing didn't know if the gate of the east guard tower was opened with Zmiya's help, but judging from the lock on the door, it should be regarded as a mechanism lock, and it could only be opened if a certain part was touched.
Tang Shuxing squatted there and studied for a while, thought about it, and finally decided to go in to see what was in the watchtower, just entered the door and walked less than five steps in the darkness, he heard a heavy sound of the door closing, Tang Shuxing turned around and went back It was already late, the door was already tightly closed.
In the dark situation, Tang Shuxing had to move forward in the dark, and even his eyes, which could actually be seen clearly at night, were like blind people in this environment.
"Damn, why is it so dark!" Tang Shuxing said as he walked, in fact, he spoke entirely because he suddenly had an inexplicable fear, and he became more and more afraid because it was impossible for this environment to scare him, but he had a feeling of fear......
After groping for about ten meters in front, he finally touched the stairs, and when he touched the stairs, he felt that the stairs were rotating upward, he touched the stone ladder, pulled out the Yin Bee, and slashed across the stone stairs, trying to use the sparks that rubbed out at the moment of crossing to illuminate the surrounding range, but at the moment of friction, he clearly saw a child squatting on the stairs, looking at him with a bright smile.
Tang Shuxing was stunned, knowing that he couldn't be dazzled, so he rubbed the blade again, this time he saw the child sitting in the square under the previous staircase, moving down a section, and then Tang Shuxing slid again, and this time the child appeared on the stairs further down.
Tang Shuxing was sure that he was not mistaken, and boldly asked, "Who are you?" ”
The child didn't speak, and when Tang Shuxing was about to rub the spark again to look, a flame suddenly rose in front of him. Then he saw the child wearing only a pair of rag underwear standing in front of him, holding a box of matches in his hand and a burning matchstick in the other hand, looking at him with great curiosity.
Tang Shuxing was actually taken aback, and after calming down, he said to the child, "Hello." ”
The child frowned at him, and just stared at him, and then the child showed a strange smile, and the moment the smile appeared on his face, the match in the child's hand went out. Immediately after that, Tang Shuxing heard the sound of the child's feet running on the stairs. Listening to the sound, I ran upstairs.
"Hey, wait for me, who are you?" Tang Shuxing ran up the stairs towards the top, albeit as fast as he could. But it also estimates the distance between the top and bottom of the stairs. Try not to let yourself fall. When he ran to the second floor, he thought there were stairs because he couldn't see it. Subconsciously stepped on it, but as a result, he stepped into the air, lost his balance, rushed forward, stepped on something slippery, and slid forward for at least a few meters, hitting his head against the wall.
Tang Shuxing screamed, squatting down with his head covered and rubbing constantly, rubbing and rubbing, he felt that something was lying on his back, his vest was cold, and he immediately remembered that it should be the child, just when he was about to turn around and speak, the match was struck in front of his eyes, and with the light of the fire, the child's miserable white face appeared in front of Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing shook his back, turned his head slightly, and when he wanted to see what was on his back, the child suddenly cried "wow", this cry didn't matter, it scared Tang Shuxing enough, because it was too sudden.
The child's cry then turned into laughter, and the child stood there laughing with a match, pointing to Tang Shuxing's wolf appearance, Tang Shuxing raised his hand to catch the child, but he didn't expect to catch anything.
Tang Shuxing touched the empty front, this time he really felt a little scared, not for anything else, just because with his own speed, even if he couldn't catch the bullet, no matter how fast a child was, he shouldn't be able to escape, right? How could it be that in an instant, the child disappeared?
Tang Shuxing squatted there, trying to feel, feeling his surroundings, but he didn't feel anything, it seemed to be lifeless, even when the child was close to him crying or laughing, he didn't feel his body temperature, he didn't hear his heartbeat or breathing.
it, what the hell! As soon as Tang Shuxing got up, he saw a fire suddenly rise from his side, and it appeared out of thin air, and then the flame began to slowly approach him, but the child's face did not appear, because the flame was floating in the air.
"What the hell." Tang Shuxing raised his hand to grab the flame, who knew that he caught a void and didn't catch anything, the fire was just a shadow, but even a shadow should have a substance, right? How can there be anything that has only a shadow and no substance?
At the same time that the flame retreated backwards, then one after another flames began to appear out of thin air from the surroundings, surrounding Tang Shuxing, and at the same time, the child holding the match also appeared in front of him, and at the same time said, "Do you want to go to the main tower to find him?" ”
Tang Shuxing didn't know how to answer, but nodded subconsciously.
The child smiled: "You can't go, he knows what you're here for, he knows you're here to kill him, so he left these things, he left the mechanism, if you can't get out of me, you can't get the key from me, you can't open the door to the tower on the west side of the fourth floor." ”
Tang Shuxing understood at this time, that is to say, the tower he was in now hid the key to the west tower on the fourth floor, the key to the south tower on the fifth floor was hidden in the west tower, the key to the north tower on the sixth floor was hidden in the south tower on the fifth floor, and the key to the main tower in the middle was hidden in the north tower on the sixth floor.
It seemed that inside each tower was a person who resembled this little kid or something, and they held the key.
"Can you give me the key?" Tang Shuxing grinned.
The child was a little surprised: "You're not afraid of me?" ”
Tang Shuxing nodded: "I'm scared, I'm afraid because, I don't know if I'm afraid of you, you will give me the key, or if I am not afraid of you, you will give me the key." ”
The child smiled: "You are very funny, but I have always had only one way to treat fun people, and that is to kill." ”
As he spoke, the child's face suddenly became hideous, and he pounced directly towards Tang Shuxing, and at the same time, his originally pale and hideous face was covered with fiery red flames...... (To be continued......)
