Twenty-ninety-six, Vukeed (three-three)
Although the entrance to the "Super Red Star" is inconspicuous, the interior space is very large, and the information picture composed of various data transmitted by the influx of insects is slowly unfolding in the hearts of the alien Luls and his companions.
This underground military base has been abandoned for decades, everything has become unrecognizable, the main weapon parts have long been dismantled by the Russian military, the curved steel roof at the entrance is rusty, the hole has rotted out of the place that is too thin, and the collapsed place is covered by the thick steel pipe added later, which is obviously an emergency move for the latecomers.
The air exchange system has long ceased to operate in the dusty base, and the gas odor released by various objects has accumulated in the closed base for many years and cannot be circulated, so the air in the base is heavy and toxic, and if it does not replace the breathing device, the normal number of people will suffocate and faint within minutes.
Ruls received the remote sensing information from the beetles that went deep into the base step by step, and told it to Roddy and the others, and Roddy recorded the content of Ruls's speech, and the computer in his hand automatically organized and archived it, becoming a shared file for all members of the combat team.
"This place is so big, it's all over the place," said Ruls, taking a message from the beetle, "and get some men and equipment, and we can do a good job of fixing those things that stand in our way." ”
"Well, that's a good word to get in the way," Mersel agreed, pulling a packet of beef jerky from his suit pocket and throwing it into his mouth, "Your beer belly looks like there's something else in it." ”
"Hmph," Luls pouted, and continued, "thanks for the compliment, you can tell the difference between beer and beer belly?" It seems that you have not learned the words of the earth, why not go with beer when eating beef jerky? What a shame. ”
"Your suggestion is good," Mesel said as she chewed, nodding, "but I was in too much of a hurry to get a few bottles to bring with me, and it would cost me my life if the captain saw it!" ”
Goldman rubbed his bald head, pulled six cans of beer from his large backpack, pulled one and threw it to Mesel, and gave Roddy and Luls one each can, and then opened one himself and took a sip of his neck, and it seemed that he was very happy.
Masel stretched out his hand to take a look, the "wheat king" of Harbin beer, nodded to Gao Man with a smile, admired the five bodies to the ground, opened it and took a sip, and then opened his eyes in surprise, "Hmm! After a while, he asked Gao Man: "How did you get it, you really have a hand." The new brand, does it feel good? Thanks to the beer you have with you, this boring action now has a free ride. ”
"I was in my backpack before I came," Gorman laughed, "this place on Earth is not very stressful, unlike the place where we stay, I have been reading Shakespeare's poems by earthlings recently, and I am trying to write it myself, with beer, like carrying inspiration with me." ”
Masel also has some understanding of the culture of the earth, and knows what the literati and bachelors on the earth are like, she looked at Gao Man, who is five big and three thick, and paid special attention to his bald head, and wanted to say "You are not suitable for writing poetry, in fact, killing pigs is more suitable for you", but she was afraid that Gao Man would not give her beer, so she drank the beer, and the words were a little choked and hiccuped.
Roddy on the side glanced at her, smiled, and asked Goldman to guess what Mersere was thinking while recording the message.
Goldman only glanced at Mesel, and then saw through her heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys, snorted, and threw out a cruel sentence: "'Three seasons are not enough to talk about ice'!" ”
"Can you stop arguing?" Ruls frowned, trying to concentrate his attention, apparently a conversation between several people interrupting him from receiving the message from the Black Beetles.
Goldman, Roddy, and Messel shrugged at each other and stopped talking.
"The ventilation system needs to be improved. Now we have arrived at the power control center of the base," Luls dictated according to the information received, his eyes looked straight ahead, and the content of the dictation was vivid, "The area here is very large, the frame is more than ten meters, which is convenient for placing instruments and equipment, most of the steel plates on the ground have been corroded, and the beams below are synthetic steel, which are still strong and can continue to be used, and a large number of steel plates are needed, and workers are needed." There is a large amount of toxic wastewater accumulated in the ground, and a new drainage system needs to be built, and disinfection is required......"
Luo Di recorded with the shrewd instrument in his hand, occasionally corrected it manually, and uploaded the sorted data to the cloud storage and shared it with Ou Sen and the other three.
"The power control center has been inspected." Ruls rubbed the top of his half-bald head with his hand and continued, "There is also information from the other road, a total of thirty-five missile silos of various kinds, which are scattered around the base, basically intact and can be used normally; There were seven escape shafts, one was destroyed, and the remaining six were fairly intact and functional. The other way, the living area, is simple to clean and can be reused. On the other hand, the laboratory or can be called the secret room, the number is about twenty to thirty, the specific situation of each room is very special, more complicated, the information transmitted back from the beetle, can not analyze the special purpose of each secret room and the attributes, functions, volume and other characteristics of the items accumulated in the room, need to be investigated on the spot, the beetle is conducting a safety inspection......"
In the base, the beetles are swimming around like a tide, not chaotic, just like workers with a clear division of labor, with tacit understanding, without any mistakes, only the action of a black beetle, which is different.
The other beetles are all controlled by the same force, but this one is not. At first, it followed the other beetles, completing one detection task after another, but from time to time it stopped to look around, as if observing something, and after a while, it began to desert, according to its own course of action, cleverly avoiding the other beetles, and hiding in a secret room that the other beetles had withdrawn.
In the blink of an eye, this "cross-road" beetle was transformed into a tall strange man dressed in a black tweed priest's robe. The weird hood was pressed low to make out its face, and his eyes were extremely bright, and in the dark, like two high-wattage LED lights, it was creepy to look at, and goosebumps mixed up.
The strange man stretched out a big black hand with sharp nails from the robe, tightened the robe, as if afraid of the cold, and then from behind the door of the secret room, with his eyes like LED lights, looked at the whereabouts of the beetles, and then retreated into the secret room with confidence, dragging the robe, and looking around in the secret room covered with thick dust.
The chamber was more than a thousand square meters in size, except for a few large dusty machines in the corners, hundreds of covered cube or cylindrical containers, each with several long tubes, connected to the large machines in the corner. These black tubes were piled up on the ground like rotten intestines, and it was tingling to watch. The container seemed to contain something, and it was as black as a lump, because the indoor light was equivalent to nothing, and the gray dirt on the glass container was obscured, so it was impossible to discern what was in the container.
The strange man turned around and pointed at the door with his large, clawed hand, and a black cloth grew from top to bottom in the doorway, separating the indoor and outdoor into two worlds where they could not see each other. The strange man's other hand was palm upward, and with a shock, five orange gloomy fires swished out of his five fingertips, sizzling.
I saw that the strange man gently swirled his five fingers upward, and the five small fire balls shot towards the roof with a whistle like arrows off the string, and when the fire ball stopped about a meter away from the roof, it had transformed into a large fireball with a diameter of one meter. The huge fireball was like five small suns, and the room was as bright as day in an instant, and everything was revealed from the darkness.
The strange man did not take off the hood on his head, but only took a few steps forward, walked to the nearest rectangular glass container three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter five high, and stretched out his hand to brush away a large patch of dust and dirt on the surface of the glass container, and the things in the container also showed their true face - there was a dried corpse inside.
It was a humanoid corpse, with his hands folded on his abdomen and his legs stretched out. Due to the long time, the maintenance machine has long been stopped, and there is no manual care, the corpse is very seriously decomposed and damaged, some places on the hands and legs have exposed white bones, under the corpse is the black stain left by the corpse after the water has dried up, the display table is white, the stain looks extremely disgusting.
And then, the most shocking thing was not these, but the head of the dried corpse.
The head of the dried corpse has a feline face-like mouth protrusion, a mouth of animal teeth, ears are also animal ears, the eyes have rotted into two black holes, and the upper lip has the long whiskers characteristic of felines. Although the entire face has been blackened and deteriorated, if you look closely, you can still make out that the skin has patterns the size of copper coins, and animal hair is all over every part of the skin.
That's right, that's the head of the leopard......
