Chapter 39: The Cave

Sasha followed the footsteps of the person in front of her, her mind a little blank. The blankness is not due to tiredness, but to the extreme excitement.

After that, they took the elevator down for I don't know how long before the elevator stopped, and when they got out of the elevator, there was a huge cavity. The cavity was large and irregular, like a mythical titan who had been sleeping here, and when he woke up, his fist was raised, leaving this large hole.

Mr. Li was not too surprised by this, and he boarded another dark elevator without stopping. The elevator was far more shabby than the one they had ridden before, like the kind of engineering elevator used to build high-rise buildings in the late twentieth century, with no buttons, only a gate knife whose rubber had been frozen and cracked and almost peeled off. Mr. Lee put the generators and fuel they found in the warehouse to use. Ten minutes later, Mr. Li had already connected the line, and the elevator made a tooth-sour sound, the tungsten filaments in the light bulbs lit up one by one, and the dim yellow light illuminated the space in the elevator.

Just when Sasha was worried about whether the elevator would fall halfway, Mr. Li had already walked in, and he could only keep up with it, while praying that the elevator was equipped with an automatic locking system. Fortunately, although the steel cable kept wailing as if it was about to break, it finally held on. Mr. Li stepped out of the elevator for some distance and stopped again, gently touching a section of rock wall, he stood behind Mr. Li and couldn't see his expression clearly.

A few seconds, maybe tens of seconds later, he clicked on the rock wall and stepped aside: "Take pictures, record." ”

Ann hurriedly raised her SLR camera and stepped forward. Her father was a war photographer, and she learned a lot from him.

And her original intention of joining the Alpha army was also to avenge her father who was beheaded by Chechnya. In one operation, they finally captured alive the little leader who had given the order and his preoccupied subordinates, and everyone withdrew, leaving only her and the two terrified men tied to their chairs, and a dagger. After that, they didn't bother with it, only to see Ann walk into the room a few hours later with two body bags and dump the contents of the body bags into the incinerator like garbage.

He also followed, and only then did he notice that it was not the rock wall that made Mr. Li stop, but a skull.

There was originally a crack here, but someone sealed the crack with molten iron, and sealed a living person inside. The madman also left a string of Russian on his skull.

"Today I seal this place as a servant of God, and evil will not prevail over controversy. This door will never be opened until the day when God will judge the whole world. ”

After the text was left the signature of the madman: "Grigory Efimovich Rasputin".

Mr. Lee stopped so that they could all have a chance to see the madman's masterpiece. After that, the group set off again.

It didn't take long for the granite walls to transform into a permafrost characteristic of Siberia. At the very end of the granite wall, he saw the words left by the others.

"On November 21, 1963, we opened the door. We should forget everything we saw here, we will soon return to Moscow, and everything will be fine when we return to Moscow. Comrade Secretary said that this place would be closed again, that it was no longer the time of gods and demons, and that the iron fist of the Soviets would crush them all. 13 Guards Infantry Division, Engineer Regiment. ”

"13th Guards Infantry Division?" Sasha muttered. His old father told him a lot about the glory days of that country, and of course he knew the place of the 13th Guards Infantry Division in the Red Army. The string of words was followed by a large number of names, apparently of the soldiers buried here. It is hard to imagine that fifty years before he was born, the glorious Soviet Union mobilized its most elite troops here and dug this cave at the cost of the lives of countless elite soldiers.

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God......" Carol exclaimed softly, as if worried about waking up the ghost that had been sleeping here. Of course he wasn't worried about this, he didn't even care about ghosts at all, Sasha followed his gaze, and only felt the cold in his veins.

At first, he thought it was a pattern of frozen soil, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was a cut of a skeleton. The skeleton was glowing with a heavy dark gold, judging from the skull, it should belong to a giant python, but this python was actually twenty meters long!

Carol pounced, his face pressed against the bones as if to engrave them in his mind, and he rubbed his fingers against the smooth walls of the cave as he muttered, "It's too big...... This is not the bone of a forest snake...... The Bulge is not right...... This joint is also not right...... It's not a snake at all! This...... This ......"

He remembered that this guy was a biology graduate before joining Alpha, and he especially liked snakes. Once drunk, he complained that the biggest pleasure in the past was to describe his smooth best friends in detail with little girls from different departments, and he was always very happy to see their expressions stiffen a little bit, especially those foreign girls who came to study abroad, and their reactions were great! After joining Alpha, it's really a lot less fun or something. Seeing that he was staring at the skeleton like an old pervert staring at a pretty girl, and longing to take it out of the frozen ground and take it back for study, Sasha was somewhat convinced that this guy was not drunk and bragging.

Li Su...... Mr. Li Su! Carol rushed in front of Li Su and rubbed his hands excitedly: "I still remember that you used the wall of fire to clear the snow layer before...... You should have a way to get this skeleton out, right...... I think...... No! Just one piece is enough! Is one piece good? ”

A few minutes later, they set off again, everyone's expressions a little stiff, except for Carol, who bundled the materials behind him and clutched the bone bigger than his head.
