Chapter 14: The Secret Base
Everyone packed their bags and equipment. Never had any major trouble along the way.
Stop and go along the way. Afternoon of the fourth day. Finally saw the towering peaks.
The high mountains reach into the clouds, and a layer of snow-white coat is quietly draped over the body.
It was the first time for Li Jun and the others to see the Z peak, the world's highest peak.
"It's beautiful." Sun Qian sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Due to the altitude. On the last day, the crowd came on foot. The heating unit of the suits did not freeze their bodies.
Just to see what Z Peak looked like, everyone took back their masks.
After a while, each little face was frozen red.
Lake walked to the front of the line. Said through the headset.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our destination is near. Keep up with me, don't get lost, it's especially dangerous to get lost here. ”
After saying that, Lake waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow.
"This old man's physical fitness is really good, and after walking such a long distance, he can't breathe." Zhang Qiang muttered.
Li Jun heard it and smiled at him.
"Let's go, keep up. Only he knows the location of the gate. ”
The old man's physical fitness is really good. Of course, Li Jun also knows the reason, but now is not the time to discuss this issue.
The crowd followed Lake all the way up. On both sides of the road are a group of guard robots.
Every 50 metres, a simple tent was built to rest in the tent. As far as the eye can see, a path leads straight up the mountain.
The wind and snow in my ears were blowing behind me. Several people climbed up with their waists bent.
Walked for two hours. The crowd came to a leeward slope.
Lake said a few words to the cuff walkie-talkie.
Li Jun and the others were waiting quietly.
Five seconds later. The whole leeward shook up. Fifty meters ahead, a flat field of snow began to collapse downward.
The crowd supported each other. Try to get yourself on your feet.
More than ten seconds later. The shaking of the ground stopped.
A circular hole fifty meters wide appeared in the snow in front of him.
"Everybody come with me." Lake greeted again.
He was the first to walk towards the entrance of the cave, followed by the group.
When you come to the entrance of the cave, there is a staircase that extends downwards at the edge.
After following Lake down for about fifteen meters. They all stood on a flat ground. After walking fifty meters, it was blocked by a gate.
Lake walked up, entered the system password next to him, and the door clicked up.
A bright light shone out from the inside out.
Li Jun remembered the first time he entered the dungeon.
Squinted his eyes, trying to see the scene inside the door.
"Let's go. Go in first. ”
Lake said.
Two dozen people entered the gate.
Li Jun was the first to enter. When everyone had come in, the gate was closed. Li Jun looked around, as if he had entered a secret room. It's bare all around. The space is just enough for more than 20 people to stand there.
"Shoot up the team and enter one by one." Lake shouted.
Li Jun looked towards where Lake stood. I saw that a place that was originally bare slowly turned into a virtual shadow.
Bai Qi walked over. Lake said something to him.
I saw Bai Qi walking directly towards the wall of the illusory shadow.
After a while, I couldn't see anyone.
This is still a hidden door.
After understanding it clearly, they all walked in one by one. Lake was the last to walk in.
The phantom gradually turned into a solid wall.
Li Jun wanted to go up and touch it, but Lake glared at him. The meaning was obvious, I didn't want him to go.
Lake said to everyone.
"The place we entered just now was a small road. I've already detoxified everyone's outside just now. This is to prevent germs from being brought in. ”
After saying that, he pressed the button behind him.
Li Jun was standing behind Lake.
The red wall in front of him slowly parted into a small gap in the middle. The gap is getting wider and wider. An aisle appeared in front of him. From time to time, people came out of the doors of the rooms on both sides, all of them looking hurried, and no one cared about the group of them who suddenly appeared.
The group followed Lake to a conference room at the top of the hallway, large enough to accommodate everyone.
After settling in, Lake explained to Li Jun and Bai Qi that they should not let people out of this conference room.
Then he took the staff and left.
Over the next few days, they were given dormitories. One for girls and one for boys. Every day is just waiting for nothing. Waiting for Lake and the others to finish their work, they are protecting him and going back.
"Boss, this is too boring. I'm almost sick from idleness. It's been five days. Zhang Qiang couldn't stand it anymore and complained to Li Jun.
"That's not going to work? Your patience is too poor, I'll write it down for you first, and go back and train your patience first. Li Jun took out a small notebook and wrote down a few words. Zhang Qiang's lack of patience.
Zhang Qiang glanced at it, and was speechless for a moment, okay, complain about the shortcomings. He didn't dare to speak again, for fear that Li Jun would remember his shortcomings again. It would be uncomfortable to go back and teach him again.
In fact, not only Zhang Qiang, but the rest of the people are like this, they are already almost idle. Lake hadn't been back since the first day he left, and he just asked someone else to come back and arrange a place to stay.
Li Jun also observed it in the past few days and found that these people here are in a state of almost crazy work. It's as if outsiders don't even notice them.
A group of people can see other people during the meal time, and the rest of the day they don't see anyone.
Li Jun has observed, and the personnel here don't seem to have any intention of resting. It is during the day and it is also at night.
Two days later, Li Jun couldn't stand it anymore.
After eating, he followed a group of staff members downstairs. When they went out, they saw that the building they were living in was built on a mountain. It was as if one side had protruded into the mountain. That's where they came from.
Li Jun followed the staff from afar and walked towards an open space. I looked up. You can't see the top at a glance. It's just that there are a lot of tens of thousands of watts of light bulbs hanging on the mountains on both sides, which means that the light here is bright.
Li Jun guessed.
This is supposed to be the interior of the Z peak. The current location should still be in the middle, and according to the height of the outside, it is 3,000 meters above sea level.
But this was not the lowest level, as he noticed that the staff members were walking towards the center of the clearing. And then it was gone.
Li Jun quietly followed. A large pit appeared in front of him.
This is the largest hole that Li Jun has ever seen dug by artificial intelligence. It looks like the diameter is at least a thousand meters!
An elevator was built on the frozen side and fell straight down. Those staff should just do the elevator down.
The elevator does not have a slide further up. He was supposed to be the highest level of the underground base now.
Li Jun waited here for the elevator to come up. I want to go down and have a look.
"What are you doing here!" Suddenly there was a sound behind him.
Li Jun was taken aback. Hurriedly turned his head. He saw Lake standing behind him, looking at him.
Lake was a little angry.
"Didn't you say don't run around? Why did you come out again? ”
Li Jun was a little embarrassed, after all, he was wrong first.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, I've been here for five or six days, it's so boring."
"What did you just see?" Lake asked.
"See what? I didn't see anything, but I saw them go down in the elevator. Li Jun explained.
When Lake heard this, his expression softened.
"Let's go, come in with me, don't run around."
Li Jun glanced towards the bottom of the pit. It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
He followed Lake back to the building.
"I'm coming back to discuss with you. The task here is urgent. The process needs to be accelerated, and we have about a week to go. If you have anything else, you can terminate the mission early and go back early, but the mission points will be halved. There is also the possibility of waiting here. When the time comes, we'll go back together when we're done. This week I applied to the above, and if you want to stay, you can go to the next floor to live. The facilities there are a little better than here. There is also a dedicated training room. You can use it. ”
"Ah, we have to wait..."Zhang Qiang exclaimed. He must have been the most uncomfortable one these days. Usually he is a person who can't be idle.
"You can think about it, let me know if you want to stay for a while." Lake went back to his room to rest.
I've been working for several days in a row, and today I came up to rest for the first time.
Li Jun called several people together.
After discussing it, I always decided that I had to stay, if nothing else, just for points. This is also the ultimate goal of Li Jun and their taking on this task.
During this period, Zhang Qiang objected, but the other four unanimously agreed that his objection was invalid.
Li Jun finally decided that after going down to the first floor, he began to train his patience in the training room. It gave him a headache. He is the person who is most afraid of this idle life. At the beginning, it was because of this problem in the army that he was only unqualified for sniping, not because of anything else, because he was impatient and couldn't hold on.
In the end, the Bai Qi team also decided to stay. This also made Li Jun happy for a while. After all, there are many people and it is lively. He can also train with Bai Qi. He could see that Bai stood up and put his hand on him. The use of cold weapons is above him.
That night, the group followed Lake down to the lower floor.
Lake explained a few words and continued to work at the bottom.
Li Jun wanted to go to the lower floor again after Lake left. But in the end, I held back. According to Lake's performance since reaching Z Peak, this should be a secret base. No one is allowed to come in.
There are usually guard robots in such places. It's hard to say if you get caught.
After arranging training subjects for several people these days. He found Bai Qi and begged him to teach him the skills of cold weapons.
Although Li Jun's current skills are already very good after a few years of training. But it's not enough to meet a real master or a high-level beast.
Bai Qi also gave him a sentence "Practice makes perfect", and he didn't know any cold weapon skills. It's just that he often goes to the training room to hone his archery.
However, he still taught Li Jun some hand-to-hand combat skills. It makes Li Jun look less stiff than before. Wielding the broadsword is more fluid.
Li Jun was still a little dissatisfied.
"Now if only there were all kinds of exercises like before, there would be no need to dance around like now."
Go back and do some research on the previous sources. Let's see if there are any exercises, give them a few and I'll find them. Except for Zhang Qiang, several others need it.
On the day after coming down, Li Jun locked up Zhang Qiang and locked him in a small room. Let him stay well, eat and live in the room.
"Wait and sharpen your patience. Let you out when you go. ”
In Zhang Qiang's shouting, Li Jun still ruthlessly locked the door of the room.
Two days later, Li Jun was training with others in the training room.
Xiao Mumu ran over.
"Brother Li Jun, I have something I want to tell you."
Li Jun looked at Xiao Mumu. He knew in his heart what Xiao Mumu wanted to say to him.
That day, Xiao Mumu subdued the goshawk in front of a crowd. It also shows her difference to everyone.
Li Jun originally wanted to go to her, but this little girl has been hiding from herself for the past few days. He won't be able to go to her.
Since Xiao Mumu is willing to show this ability to everyone, it means that she should have let go of her heart and is ready to tell this secret.
Xiao Mumu's ability is only known to Li Jun and Sun Qian. It's just that I didn't expect such a big deterrent to alien beasts.
Li Jun smiled at Mu Mu.
"Okay."
He walked with Mu Mu to a place where no one was around.
