Chapter 308: The Dungeon (VII)
The elevator doors slowly opened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A snow-white dazzling light appeared, followed by a series of footsteps, and when Fei Lun and the others opened their eyes, what they saw were heavily armed soldiers. I saw that they were wearing helmets, body armor, and guns in their hands, looking at Fei Lun and the others vigilantly.
"What a warm welcome."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fei Lun couldn't help but whistle. Other than that, though, they didn't show any special expressions, and although the soldiers looked bluffing with their guns, everyone around Faeron was immune to this kind of old-fashioned attack. Not to mention Delin's force dodge, even Kurona, as long as she has a thought, she can open the safety of these guns, so that they can instantly turn into harmless burning sticks.
However, these guns seemed to give these underground dwellers a lot of psychological comfort, and Faeron could see that not far behind the soldiers, many people were looking curiously in this direction, although they were not wearing any blue uniforms or anything like that, but they did not seem to be far behind.
Just when Fei Lun and the others looked at everyone curiously, they saw that the soldiers who had surrounded them separated to the left and right, and then, a middle-aged man in a military uniform strode forward, looking at Fei Lun calmly and silently.
In the face of the middle-aged man's temptation, Fei Lun was also smiling and did not say a word. As soon as the other party comes up, he wants to use his momentum to suppress people, but who is easy to deal with on his side? He wanted to see what the man was trying to get up with.
And unlike the leisurely Fei Lun and the others, the middle-aged man at this moment was secretly complaining about his misery, he originally came up to test Fei Lun and the others, after all, no outsiders had been here for a long time. Although they were also eager to get news from the outside, looking at the appearance of Fei Lun and the others, they didn't look like people from their own department, on the contrary, there were men and women among them, and even children, it looked more like they had strayed here. But even so, they still decided to let the other party in, this is the first person from the outside world in so many years, at least they also hope to be able to communicate with Fei Lun and the others, at least to know what the situation is in the outside world at the moment.
But after all, this is his own territory, so the man decided to come up and take the lead and salute first, so that they know the identity and importance of the others, so that it will be easier for them to cooperate. But what the man didn't expect was that his approach had no effect at all. The young man at the head directly showed an expression that looked at him as a fool, and none of the young girls who followed him wavered or weak under the gun, even the two girls who were no more than ten years old in the eyes of the man only looked at the gun in their hands curiously, without a little timidity or fear.
What kind of people are these?
After a stalemate for a while, the middle-aged man finally didn't plan to continue tossing, and it would be embarrassing to continue like this, so he coughed dryly and said.
"This is the 52nd Research Center of the United States, and I'm Lieutenant Colonel Dayler, please identify yourself."
"We're just passing through, and we're not going to disturb your peaceful life."
In the face of Lieutenant Colonel Dale's inquiry, Pheren smiled slightly, took off the wide-brimmed hat on his head, and then nodded to Lieutenant Colonel Dale.
Hearing Pheren's answer, Lieutenant Colonel Dayler's face also became strange, and he didn't need to think about it to know that what Pheren said was insincere, and when he heard it, he was making it up. Pass by? Their entrance and exit here are on the fifth basement floor, not to mention that there is that terrible ghost outside, can you show me a pass-by?
And just as Lieutenant Colonel Dayler was about to say something more, suddenly, the walkie-talkie on his shoulder made a "Didi" sound, and Lieutenant Colonel Dayler took a step back, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began to talk in a low voice. Seeing this scene, both Kurona and Shar were a little puzzled, only Feren quickly exchanged a look with Delin. It may seem ordinary to others, but to the people in the wasteland, it's unbelievable -- because it means that these people don't have access to the system, but still retain the original means of communication!
This shows that they are old humans!
That's a lot of fun!
Thinking of this, Faeron's eyes as he looked at everyone suddenly became hot. No one has yet understood the causes of the cataclysm and how the system works. Originally, Faren thought that everyone had obtained the system, but now it seems that not everyone!
Could it be that systems, like radiation, need to be infected by humans through some kind of medium before they can be had? And these people have not been able to access the system because they have always lived underground and never gone out? Heck, that's a valuable piece of research material!
Just as Feren was thinking about how to fool the people here into cooperating with him in the experiment, he saw Lieutenant Colonel Dale come over again and nodded to everyone.
"Everyone, please come with me."
"Where are you going?"
Looking at Lieutenant Colonel Dayler, Pheren asked. Lieutenant Colonel Dayler was silent for a moment before speaking.
"It's the head of our base, Admiral Kayson."
"Oh............"
Hearing the name, Fallon's eyes narrowed, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and nodded.
"Alright, let's go meet the admiral."
The security of the base did not seem to be very tight, and only four or five soldiers in total followed Fei Lun and the others towards the interior of the base. And along the way, there were also many people who came out curiously to watch Fei Lun and others, which is no wonder, after all, Fei Lun and his party were the first batch of outsiders to come here since the base was closed, and they didn't know much about the situation outside, and they had been eager to get some intelligence and information, and now that they saw someone coming, they naturally wanted to come and have a look.
And along the way, Fallon also obtained some information from Lieutenant Colonel Dayler.
It turned out that the people in this base were all researchers from a research program in the United States, and they had been working here on weekdays, and due to the high level of security, no one was allowed to leave. In fact, they had no idea what was going on above, and the cataclysm was nothing more than a routine earthquake for them, and it didn't cause much damage or casualties. However, after that, the research center lost contact with the outside world, and when they contacted regularly, they did not get a response from the outside world, which surprised the research center internally. So, they sent a team out to see the situation, but ......... Met those ghosts.
Naturally, these people were directly killed by the ghosts without any suspense, and only a few people were lucky enough to escape back. After listening to their descriptions, the director of the research center at the time decided to close the entire research center. Just waiting for outside support -- there are not many people in their research center itself, and the rest are more helpless scientific research personnel, and it is obviously unrealistic to go out and send them to death. It's better to wait for the outside world to send rescue, and then make plans.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the "rescue" never appeared, but the inside of this research center was quite safe. Importantly, as a top-notch research center, there is also a section dedicated to studying how to build bases and open up land on alien planets. In this research base, there are simulated silos planted, and there are solar lamps, and the energy comes from underground nuclear reactors. The tap water also comes from the dark river near the underground, which can be said to be a lack of food, water and energy, and the only thing that needs to be considered is the problem of ventilation, and there is no obstacle. So these researchers settled down and settled here. Many of them even got married and had children......... To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of Faren and the others this time to activate the alarm, they would probably have to live a peaceful life in this underground world all the time.
But fortunately, to paraphrase an old saying, a peaceful life will eventually be broken.
Pheren also asked what the dungeon above was used for, but Lieutenant Colonel Dayler did not give an answer to this question, but said that he did not know it -- time has passed, and of course his lieutenant general was not the original lieutenant general, he was originally just an ordinary security guard in the research center, and later because the lieutenant general at that time was sick and died, he assigned him this rank and position before he died, so he also became this so-called "lieutenant colonel." He only knew that the research center was a confidential project heavily funded by the state, and he couldn't say what was being studied here. After all, he used to be just a young security guard, and he couldn't understand what those researchers said in the mouths of the same things as the book from heaven.
"I suppose Admiral Kayson should be able to answer your questions, though."
Along the way, Lieutenant Colonel Dayler's attitude towards Faren and others was also much better. In any case, Fallon and the others did not appear to be a threat to the research center, and most of them were young girls and unarmed, so in the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Dayler, these people were not a threat at all.
"Here it is."
As he spoke, everyone had come to a metal gate, Lieutenant Colonel Dale reached out and pressed a few buttons on it, and soon, the metal door "snapped" open, and then he made a gesture of invitation.
"Admiral Kaysen is inside."
"Let's go inside."
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Dayler's words, the corners of Faeron's mouth curled slightly, and a strange smile appeared, and then he reached out, pulled the brim of his hat, and then strode into the room.
This was a large reception room, and on the other side of the sofa, I saw an old man in a straight uniform sitting there, watching Fei Lun and the others. When he saw Fei Lun, the old man's expression was a little surprised, and then he frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but soon, the old man gave up recalling, and instead stood up and nodded enthusiastically at everyone.
"Welcome to my research center, outsider."
