Chapter 710: Deep
After entering, Wang Dong and Luo Qing discovered that it was not a ventilation pipe at all, but an exhaust pipe from a ballistic missile silo.
Obviously, there must be a very secretive missile silo in the vicinity.
Fortunately, there's nothing to worry about.
Why?
The base has long been abandoned, so all the ICBMs originally deployed here must have been transported, otherwise it would not have been abandoned by the US military.
The exhaust duct goes straight down and is bottomless.
Fortunately, there was no south to live Wang Dong and Luo Qing, because Wang Dong brought a long enough rope, and the inner wall of the pipe was seriously damaged, and there were potholes everywhere.
At the bottom is a horizontal passage with a sealed door for access by maintenance personnel.
It's just that the sealed door has been completely blocked.
It took some effort for Wang Dong and Luo Qing to enter the missile silos.
The wellhead had been sealed, and there was deep water at the bottom of the well, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.
It didn't take much effort for the two to find a door.
Missiles stored in silos also need to be maintained, so there must be access for personnel and to underground command centers.
Thankfully, the door didn't lock.
In addition, all indications indicate that the armed personnel in the base used the silo as a manure pit, or septic tank to be precise, leaving this door to facilitate the dumping of garbage and other waste, after all, in addition to feces, the hundreds of armed personnel in the base also have a lot of domestic garbage.
After entering, Wang Dong slowed down to make Luo Qing more vigilant, and then pulled out the pistol that had been loaded with a muffler.
So far, it's been smooth, but what will happen next, Wang Dong doesn't know.
Obviously, it would be nice to be able to blend in.
Outside the door is a passageway, and there are no illuminated street lights.
Just when Wang Dong was about to touch out, there were footsteps outside, it was two people, and then Wang Dong smelled the stench wafting from him.
It's not the smell of feces, it's the smell of food that has gone bad and rotten.
Wang Dong immediately retracted, then pulled out his dagger and swiped it at Luo Qing a few times, telling her to deal with another person and not use a gun.
Luo Qing immediately understood, and also pulled out the dagger.
If you can take out the two guys who come by, you can get their uniforms, and then you can disguise yourself as the armed men in the base and blend in.
Sure enough, they were two people, but they were not armed men, although they were wearing the uniforms of armed men, but they were not carrying weapons.
Obviously, it's two handymen.
Both of them are strong, and they didn't turn on the lights when they came in, maybe there were no street lights in this passage at all, but it also showed that they were very familiar with this place, with or without street lights.
Of course, it's certainly not the same now.
Wang Dong and Luo Qing retreated to the door, because it was a little more spacious.
Even if they couldn't see their fingers in the passage, the two of them could still see clearly.
Just when the two guys came over, Wang Dong's men made a move, and Luo Qing also followed.
It was neat, it was a one-stroke kill, and the two didn't pull out the dagger that had been inserted into the enemy's neck, because that would make the blood spurt out.
The uniforms of the two are a bit big, not to mention Luo Qing, even Wang Dong is very spacious after wearing it.
Of course, there are benefits.
What are the benefits?
It is possible to hide the DF6PD in the jacket, and it doesn't look very awkward, but the DF8SMG definitely can't be carried on the body.
Of course, if only against armed men, DF6PD is enough, especially in indoor combat.
What's more, both guys are wearing helmets and have a face shield to cover their faces.
Perhaps, this is the standard equipment of armed personnel.
After tidying up, Wang Dong and Luo Qing came out of the passage and pulled on their masks.
The base is huge, and it's an underground labyrinth.
After turning a few corners, Wang Dong and Luo Qing found the right direction, to be precise, they found a picture board hanging on the wall, an emergency evacuation board for the fire.
That thing, it must be decades old, but it's not outdated.
This is not just a missile launch base, but also a strategic base.
To put it simply, there are dozens of missile silos in this base, and they are deployed in five others, for a total of five underground command and control centers, in addition to an underground facility for storing, overhauling and maintaining missiles, and an underground bunker capable of accommodating thousands of people.
During the Cold War, it was certainly one of the most important strategic bases on the continental United States.
Of course, the level of secrecy is also very high.
The base covers an area of several thousand acres, and there are hundreds of acres of missile launch positions alone, and the underground facilities extend in all directions, making it an underground city.
Not to mention a few hundred armed men, even if there are several thousand, they can fit it.
It can be seen that this is indeed a very ideal secret base, no wonder Emily chose it.
Along the way, the two encountered a number of armed men, but none of them paid attention to them.
Why?
They wore ordinary uniforms, and they did not wear colored epaulettes, so they must have been handymen, so their status was certainly not very high.
In addition, neither was equipped with weapons.
Wang Dong did not go anywhere else, but went straight to the strategic bunker.
It was the center of the entire underground base, and if Emily was doing something here, it would be over there.
As for the missile silos, there are also command and control centers, because the area is not large enough, on the contrary, it is not of much value, and at most it can accommodate some armed personnel.
The point is, what is Emily doing here?
There is something important that needs to be hidden so secretly.
"You two, stop."
Suddenly stopped by someone, Wang Dong and Luo Qing were both startled, and clenched the dagger hidden in their sleeves.
"Send these over, hurry up!"
Looking back, Wang Dong and Luo Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?
He was also stopped by a handyman, but of a higher status, and he was stopped to ask them to bring the prepared meals to the armed men.
The two of them didn't ramble, and immediately went over and brought up the food in their pockets, which were actually some boxed lunches.
Obviously, life here is not easy, and even the high-ranking armed men eat only box lunches, not big meals.
"Hurry up, we're going to leave later."
Let's go?
Wang Dong and Luo Qing were secretly surprised.
Is this just a temporary place to stay?
Or is Emily ready to abandon the base and go somewhere else?
The two didn't dare to ask more, nor did they dare to delay.
After turning a few corners, the two entered the underground bunker.
Because they were carrying a boxed lunch, the armed men guarding the door did not stop them, and took a box, which looked like they were starving.
The underground bunker is large, and in the middle is a huge room that looks like a command center.
There are a lot of people who are busy, moving goods to be exact.
Apparently, Emily is indeed preparing to abandon this base.
