Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 49: Underground Infiltration
When Han Jianfei's plane flew over the archipelago in the South Hals region, Zhao Xiaonan and Partridge just groped their way through the ghost pipe below.
The ghost pipeline routes scattered throughout the planet are extremely complex, and although she has tried to remember as many routes as possible, it is still difficult to find the right route like Han Jianfei without the support of the comics.
But the general direction is not wrong after all, so after countless detours of the two's hoverbike, Han Jianfei took her to the route that Han Jianfei took her after the beach battle at Mavis's house.
Surely she was, because she had already seen the first underground hall that the two of them had passed through when they entered the ghost base.
"Stop." Zhao Xiaonan patted the partridge driving the motorcycle in front of him, "Further forward is the main entrance of the base, we can't just rush straight over." β
The partridge stopped the car, watched Zhao Xiaonan fumble on the pipe wall for a while, opened a secret door, and parked the motorcycle inside.
While doing this, she suddenly remembered that when Han Jianfei took her around in the ghost pipeline a year ago, she seemed to do the same, and couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"And how are you going to go?"
The partridge's voice woke her from her memories, she closed the secret door, thought for a moment, and said, "I know it's vulgar, but we can do go through the ventilation ducts." β
In fact, most of the movies depicted throughout the ages that lone heroes infiltrate into the enemy's heavily defended areas through ventilation ducts, which is mostly nonsense.
Not to mention that most of the ventilation ducts are extremely narrow, which cannot accommodate a single person to pass at all, even if they can get by, those dust covers and fans are not a small obstacle.
But the ventilation ducts that Zhao Xiaonan is talking about are not the narrow pipes of the base itself, but the ventilation ducts of the small nuclear power plant below the base.
If the drawings given by Tusebi are not wrong, there should be a pipeline near here that transports supplies for the nuclear power plant, and parallel to this pipe is a set of thick ventilation pipes, which Zhao Xiaonan said.
Sure enough, after seven or eight attempts, she finally found the ventilation pipe, and the air in it was circulating, at least indicating that the nuclear power plant was still working normally.
This pipe is not short, the two of them walked about a kilometer in the direction of the wind blowing in the unlit pipe, and finally saw the faint light at the end of the pipe.
"Walking in this kind of pipeline with no end in sight, people's psychology will be somewhat distorted." Partridge sighed suddenly.
"What?" Zhao Xiaonan was stunned.
"I'm thinking," Partridge continued, "that Han is not an ordinary person, and naturally has superhuman qualities, but what about you?" You're only twenty years old, and it's a miracle that you've lived in this kind of place for a year and haven't gone crazy. β
"Maybe it's because I have an obsession in my heart." Zhao Xiaonan said.
"All appearances are vain." The partridge grabbed the Buddha statue hanging around its neck and sighed softly.
The nuclear power plant's huge wind turbine soon appeared in front of the two men, and the fan blades more than one person tall were still spinning rapidly, and it was almost impossible to jump out of the fan blades.
Fortunately, there was a small door for the maintenance passage next to the fan, and the two of them bypassed the fan from the maintenance passage and came to the small door.
"You have the key?"
"Nope." Zhao Xiaonan shook his head, "The people who taught me these said that in a place where the noise is so loud that you can't hear it in person, you can do things simply." β
With that, she kicked the small door, and the small door opened.
Small fusion reactors are so noisy that they are generally unoccupied, so no one noticed that the small door to the maintenance corridor had been kicked open.
"These surveillances?" Swaggering into the corridor outside the reactor, the partridge looked up and saw a holographic surveillance device with a flashing red light.
"The monitoring of the nuclear power plant is not with the base security system," Zhao Xiaonan glanced at the monitoring overhead, "The monitoring room is in the nuclear power plant, very deep, and when I was at the base, I never looked at those things in the nuclear power plant." β
She thought for a moment and added, "And, I think, the base people will have someone to help us." β
"Who?"
Zhao Xiaonan glanced at him and did not answer.
In fact, she is also gambling, betting on whether the comic is still at the base.
If it's still in the base, it's going to find a way to get into the base's security system.
In this way, these video messages, which are easily overlooked by the enemy, will not be missed by the comic who is constantly monitoring the base, which may give the dormant or latent Trolley a signal that it can cooperate with her next move.
The two walked along the corridor to the reactor, and the partridge asked something, because the noise was too loud, Zhao Xiaonan could only see his mouth move a few times, and he could vaguely distinguish from the shape of his mouth, he was asking himself how to leave this reaction pool.
At this time, the steel structure corridor where the two of them are located is surrounded by a giant ball of unknown material, Zhao Xiaonan has been in college on the Linghu satellite, and knows that inside the ball, there is a miniature sun.
Strictly speaking, the fusion reactor is a miniature sun, and at this moment, there is only one layer between them and the sun, which is less than fifteen meters in diameter, or maybe two shells of unknown material, and the experience always gives a sense of magical religious ritual.
She pulled the partridge past and whispered in his ear, "Wait." β
In the information given to her, she had seen about this small nuclear power plant, where the deuterium fuel was not filled all at once, but slowly on a manageable scale, in order to control the fusion reaction.
So, every once in a while, a robot enters the reactor chamber from the outside and fills the reactor with deuterium fuel drums.
That's when the two of them left here.
In the midst of the loud noise, the partridge barely understood what she meant and shrugged her shoulders.
After all, not everyone has that patience, especially when he's in a cramped space with an artificial miniature sun.
Sure enough, the two didn't wait too long, and the lead screen door, which could only be opened from the outside, suddenly opened, and an engineering robot walked into the reaction room.
The robot soon spotted the uninvited guest in the reaction room, and after identifying Zhao Xiaonan's identity, it judged that she was the current highest authority owner of the base, and ignored her.
The two swaggered out of the reaction chamber and came to the monitoring center of the nuclear power plant.
Sure enough, as Zhao Xiaonan expected, the mercenaries in Baishan did not send people to garrison here, perhaps in their opinion, as long as the nuclear power plant remained running smoothly, it would be enough for them.
After all, no one would believe that anyone could infiltrate the reaction chamber.
So, the two people who infiltrated the base from the reaction room walked into the nuclear power plant monitoring center with such a swagger.
As soon as the two of them walked into the monitoring center, they saw a small line of small words appear on a flat screen that was originally displaying running readings: "You are here." β
"Is it Mr. Funny?" Zhao Xiaonan asked softly.
"Who is this?" Partridge asked.
Zhao Xiaonan said: "That's what I just said, the people who will help us." β
The words on the screen change: "It's me, I'm running at the lowest power so as not to be detected by them." β
"How do you prove it?"
The words on the screen flashed: "You often snore when you sleep, and you have had a spring dream related to a certain uncle, do you want me to play a recording of your dream talk?" β
"No," Zhao Xiaonan's face suddenly turned crimson, "I believe itβwhere are you?" β
The partridge glanced with interest at the girl in front of her, who was ruthless and resolute, but in fact not very familiar with the world.
The words on the screen disappeared, and a floor plan of simple lines appeared on it.
It was a map with extremely simple lines, indicating the location of the existing mercenaries in the ghost base, and the weapons they had planted in them.
In the floor plan, the location of the combi is still in the arsenal where Han Kane's non-mobile armor was once parked, and it is marked with a five-star.
Below the floor plan, the small print reappears: "Hurry up and remember." β
After more than ten seconds, the image was gone.
The small print on the screen goes on to say, "I can only disguise normal communication now, and I can't use too high a traffic channel." β
Although the floor plan was only displayed for more than ten seconds, Zhao Xiaonan had lived in the base for nearly a year and was extremely familiar with the terrain, so she only used these times to roughly know the deployment of the other party.
There are a total of twenty-five Baishan mercenaries in the base, divided into four groups, three of which are guarding different positions, and one group is patrolling in different places.
"If this isn't a trap," Partridge said, looking at where the floor plan had disappeared, "we're going to be dealing with twenty-five heavily armed White Mountain mercenaries - do you know what that means?" β
Of course, Zhao Xiaonan knew what this meant, but if she wanted to leave this planet, she had to take Mr. Funny with her.
That's the main reason why she ventured back here.
So she nodded: "I'm going to Silla Song." β
"If you're looking for Brother Fei," Partridge reminded, "the news says he's going to be in the capital star in the near future, so why don't you just go to him?" β
Although there has been rumors outside the past few days that Han Jifei is about to arrive in the capital star from Xinluosong, she doesn't believe a word, those guys have already used the same method once.
"I don't believe it." Zhao Xiaonan said, "Who knows if they are trying to lure me out? β
Partridge smiled and shook her head.
This situation is indeed very common, and when they were in Baishan, they often used this kind of trick to deal with targets hidden in the city.
A line of words appeared on the screen again: "They found a peak change in the amount of silent information, they are investigating, I want to interrupt ......"
The words on the screen are completely gone.
Zhao Xiaonan took out her two miniature submachine guns from the backpack behind her, and after checking the ammunition, hung them on her waist on both sides, and inserted a high-frequency vibrating dagger into the belt behind her waist.
Partridge silently watched her finish all this, her equipment match was learned when she was evading the pursuit with Han Jianfei, and her shadow could be clearly seen.
Partridge also checked his weapon, and for today's incident, he deliberately changed to a silent stringless crossbow, although the range is very short, but for a sniper like him, it is the most suitable indoor infiltration weapon.
"Let's go." After doing all that, she said, "Let's go get something." β
With that, she opened the door to the monitoring center and walked along the spiraling passage towards the ghost base.
