Makarov and Tang Feng both waited for Han Jiang to continue, but Han Jiang had no follow-up, and Tang Feng was anxious, "You go on, how can you conclude that Buldenko has something to do with the abandonment of the bunker?" ”

"I just made a reasonable inference, you think about it, Buldenko was demoted because he made a mistake before, and he was guilty of meritorious service, then the unit he was in before was this 13th Bureau, and now we know that the bunker was built by the KGB 13th Bureau, so Buldenko's mistake is likely to be related to this."

Han Jiang's words made Tang Feng and Makarov nod frequently, and Han Jiang said, "If you look carefully for these documents, you may find something else." ”

So, Tang Feng and Makarov began to look at the yellowed documents again, this time they were more careful, but most of the documents were ordinary documents and drawings about the construction of the bunker, and there was nothing special about them.

But just when Tang Feng and Makarov thought that it was about to end like this, Makarov suddenly found a crumpled and yellowed document from a pile of bound documents, Makarov only glanced at it, and then his eyes widened in surprise, and then, he slowly read out the text on the document:

Decision on the punishment of Comrade Yuri Pavlovich Bultenko for dereliction of duty

In view of the fact that Comrade Yuri Pavlovich Burtenko, deputy commander-in-chief of the Vladivostok project, repeatedly neglected his duties in the process of building Bunker No. 21, which made Bunker No. 21 unusable, caused huge economic losses to the state and people, and caused immeasurable damage to the reputation of the State Security Committee, the State Security Committee and the 13th Directorate decided to give Comrade Yuri Pavlovich Bultenko a serious demerit, expulsion from the party, and dismissal from office.

National Security Council

Thirteenth Directorate of the National Security Council

April 17, 1968

"It seems that this is the reason why Burdenko was demoted and used for meritorious service." Han Jiang listened to Makarov read this document, and immediately blurted out.

"But there is no mention of the specific reasons for punishing Burtenko in this document, only dereliction of duty?!" Tang Feng frowned.

"Looking at the punishment of Burtenko in the end, it is very serious, and this dereliction of duty may not be so simple......" Han Jiang muttered.

"Because of Bultenko's negligence, the whole bunker is unusable, but I really don't see why this bunker can't be used?" Tang Feng looked around.

"By the way, what about the drawings?" Han Jiang suddenly thought.

Tang Feng took out the * Cheng diagram from his backpack again, Han Jiang took it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly, Han Jiang took a picture of the engineering drawing, "Did you find it, there is no room in the engineering drawing." ”

"It may be reasonable that Burtenko did not follow the drawings during the construction process and tampered with the drawings without permission, resulting in the non-functioning of bunker No. 21." Makarov reasoned.

"But I still can't see how this one room alone makes the entire bunker unusable? In addition, in the construction of the construction, it is completely understandable to make slight changes to the drawings. Tang Feng said.

"This may be the problem, it is entirely possible to make a slight change to the drawings of the construction squadron, but there are two possibilities, one, there is a problem with this room, and it is a big problem that makes the entire bunker unusable; Second, there are other places in the bunker that we haven't been to, or problems that we haven't found, which may be the reason why the bunker can't be used properly. Han Jiang said categorically.

"I think it's almost impossible to ...... the first possibility," Tang Feng looked up at the roof, "As for the second possibility, the situation we saw before was basically similar to what was drawn on the engineering drawings, and we didn't find anything inconsistent with the engineering drawings." ”

"If you want to know if there is a problem with this hut, I think it's better to look for the problem in the hut again." Makarov interrupted their conjecture and returned his gaze to the dusty bookshelves.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang also set their sights on the bookshelf again, but they emptied the entire bookshelf and found no more valuable clues.

Tang Feng stood in the middle of this small hut, looking around, and there was only one place left that he hadn't seen - under the bed.

2

When Tang Feng's gaze moved under the bed, Han Jiang also realized that it was the last dead end, Han Jiang slammed into the bed, leaned down, and almost poked his upper body under the bed, "Is there something under the bed?" Tang Feng was anxious to see what was going on under the bed, but Han Jiang's sturdy body blocked his view.

After a long while, Han Jiang got out from under the bed, and at the same time dragged out a thick stack of wooden planks, "What is this?" Plank? Tang Feng looked at the plank suspiciously.

"No, it's a sketchpad." Makarov has already seen the clues.

"Sketchpad?" Tang Feng looked at it again, only to find that what Han Jiang had dragged out from under the bed was a thick stack of drawing boards stacked together.

The canvas was full of dust, different sizes and thicknesses, Han Jiang first picked up the top painting, the top painting was upside down, Han Jiang turned over the painting, and saw that this was an oil painting, and the picture was a quiet pastoral scene.

"It's a lot like a Russian idyll, and it's a lot like Repin's style!" Tang Feng muttered.

Han Jiang didn't say anything, put down the painting, and picked up the second painting in order, which was still an oil painting of a pastoral landscape, but in the distance of the picture, an onion-like building similar to the Kremlin appeared.

"This can't be the idyllic scenery around Moscow in the early days!" Tang Feng speculated wildly.

"Is it all these idyllic scenes?" Han Jiang twisted his brows and continued to pick up the third painting, the third oil painting is rectangular, the style of painting changes, the picture is a desert scenery, a thin layer of dust on the picture, setting off this desert scenery is more gorgeous.

Tang Feng couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently wiped the dust off the picture, the picture gradually became clearer, Tang Feng suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, "What a desert scenery." Tang Feng muttered to himself, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this desert scenery for a while, maybe the scenery in the desert was always too similar.

When Tang Feng's mind was still immersed in the previous painting, the fourth painting had already appeared in front of the three of them, and this painting was a desert scenery again, the difference was...... Tang Feng's eyes widened suddenly, he found that in the desert in the center of the picture, a large sand pit appeared, and there were a lot of white bones in the sand pit, most of which were messy and not human-shaped, but there were two skeletons in a complete human form, arms up, legs pressed down hard, that posture, these two skeletons seemed to still have life, suddenly, the two skeletons on Tang Feng's picture slowly grew muscles, bright red muscles, clear texture, blood gushing, this ...... It is clear that two living beings are working tirelessly, struggling to climb up the bunker, and it seems that ...... It seemed as if a ferocious beast was chasing them in the bunker behind them.

At this time, Tang Feng was full of excitement, and when he looked at the picture again, the person in the picture was still two skeletons, no bright red muscles, spurting blood, those two fresh lives disappeared in an instant, except for the yellow sand in the middle of the bunker, that is, white bones, there was nothing else, could it be an illusion generated by himself just now.

"Don't be stunned, take pictures of these pictures with your camera." Han Jiang gave orders to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng hurriedly took out his camera, but his hands trembled a little, and when Tang Feng took out his camera to take pictures of these oil paintings, his hands trembled even more.

"Tang Feng, don't you think the picture of this painting seems familiar?" Han Jiang suddenly asked.

"Déjà vu?" Tang Feng didn't pay attention to this, but Tang Feng also saw what Han Jiang said, "Yes, it's déjà vu, the picture is very similar to Da Baiquan." ”

"Great White Spring? I thought so too, but what about the springs? Could it be that the author of this painting is seeing a large white spring that has dried up? Han Jiang was confused.

Tang Feng looked at the picture carefully, and seemed to feel that this painting was not a big white spring, "Do you think this is a big white spring?" First of all, the water of the Great White Spring is not dry, and secondly, the bones of the Great White Spring are distributed on the shore, which is very regular; Not only is the water dry, but the bones are extremely messy. ”

"So you don't think this painting is a picture of the Great White Spring?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Well, besides, the author of this painting is supposed to be a Russian, how did he go to the Great White Spring? Unless......" Tang Feng wanted to speak and stopped.

"Unless he's a member of the expedition!" Han Jiang exclaimed.

"No, it can't be." Makarov shook his head and said, "I don't believe that anyone in the expedition team will survive, although I have not been to the big white spring you mentioned, but there are so many such bunkers in this desert, there is no way to prove that this is what you call the big white spring." ”

"How much?" Han Jiang and Tang Feng exclaimed at the same time.

"You still remember the Wild Wolf Valley that I mentioned to you, the Wild Wolf Valley is not a single canyon, but is composed of intricate canyons, forming a huge canyon group, and when Burtenko and I came to the Wild Wolf Valley for the second time, we found more than one trace of Haizi." Makarov's thoughts quickly flew back into the past.

Makarov's memories were quickly dragged back by the fifth painting, and the picture in Han Jiang's hand changed again, the picture became a large Gobi Desert, and on the boundless Gobi Desert, two huge stone pillars stood very conspicuously, the two stone pillars were in a strange shape, and they were inclined inward at the same time, until the last two huge stone pillars were completely tilted together.

"It's a very strange painting, how can there be such two strange stone pillars in the Gobi?" Tang Feng stared at the picture attentively.

"yes, I was surprised by the scene of this painting." Han Jiang paused for a moment and said, "But I can be sure that I haven't seen this place. ”

"Well, I can confirm that too. Never been to this place. Tang Feng nodded.

The two turned their gazes to Makarov, who also shook his head, looking confused. Han Jiang took out a sixth painting, this painting depicts the scenery of the Gobi, in the depths of the desolate Gobi Desert, there are still a few more houses faintly.

Tang Feng felt that this scene was very familiar, "This ...... Isn't this the forward base? ”

Han Jiang also nodded, "Not bad!" This is the forward base. But...... But the angle from which this picture is drawn is very interesting. ”

Tang Feng also noticed the angle of this painting, "Yes, in this painting, the forward base is in the distance, obviously the author's perspective when painting this painting is a long distance away from the forward base, and from the angle and direction, I suddenly feel that the author of this painting was near the 21st bunker at that time, or...... Or from the perspective of bunker 21, go to see the forward base, and go to the forward base of the painting. ”

"Yes, that's it." Han Jiang agreed with Tang Feng's judgment.

"That's a problem...... "Makarov immediately thought of something, "the forward base came after the bunker was abandoned for a few years, and I never knew about the existence of the bunker, so the person who painted this picture ......"

Han Jiang interrupted Makarov, "I think there are two possibilities for the person who painted this picture, one possibility is that someone from your base, more precisely, it is Bultenko, or someone under him; Two, that's when you were heading to the base, where there were other people hiding in bunker 21! ”

"Someone else is hiding?" Tang Feng was shocked.

"This ......," Makarov looked at Han Jiang hesitantly.

Han Jiang asked Makarov rhetorically, "You have been with Buldenko for a few years, have you found that he usually likes to paint?" ”

Makarov thought for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, "No, I have been with him for a few years, and I have never seen him paint, and I have never seen him interested in painting. ”

"And is there anyone else in your base who is interested in painting? Who are the students? Han Jiang asked.

"No, I have never found it, and there are no drawing boards and paints for painting in the base, and there is no no-man's land within a radius of dozens of miles, even in a small town dozens of kilometers away, there are no such things." Makarov replied crisply.

"That's weird! Could it be that there are other people hiding here? Han Jiang muttered to himself, lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, Tang Feng urged, "Continue to look at the painting below." He seemed to see something new in the painting below.

Han Jiang took out the seventh painting, which was still an oil painting, and the painting was still a desert scene, but in the long yellow sand, several lama towers appeared, especially a lama tower in the near view, which was extremely brilliant and tall, and this picture quickly reminded Tang Feng of a place, "Isn't this Blackwater City?" ”

Han Jiang also saw it, "Yes, it is indeed Blackwater City." ”

"It's just ......" Tang Feng suddenly found that in front of the brilliant and tall lama tower, there was a person kneeling, a person wearing a Mongolian robe, but the person's appearance was not like an Easterner, but like a Westerner, Tang Feng was surprised, "Have you seen the person kneeling in front of the tower?" ”

"See, what's so special?" Han Jiang didn't understand what Tang Feng meant.

"If my judgment is correct, the painting is of Blackwater City, then this splendid and tall stupa should be the lama pagoda where Koznov stole the Buddha statue of the Tibetan Empress that was excavated, that is, the so-called 'great pagoda', then, how can there be a person who kneels in front of this stupa so reverently, and judging from the picture, although this person is wearing a Mongolian-style robe, it seems that he is not an Oriental, but more like a Westerner?" Tang Feng analyzed.

"Westerners? Russian? Han Jiang looked at Makarov.

Makarov also noticed the man on the picture, an elderly man with a long beard and a Mongolian robe, "It does look like an old Russian, could it be Koznov?" ”

"It's impossible, Koznov should have been a middle-aged man when he discovered Blackwater City, and he never went to Blackwater City again." Tang Feng shook his head and said.

"Who is this old man in the painting?" Han Jiang asked.

"Maybe it's just a fictional character, but I'm more concerned about who is the person who painted this picture?" Tang Feng Road.

"He's been to Blackwater?" Han Jiang blurted out.

"Not necessarily, but there must be someone who knows something about Blackwater." Tang Feng Road.

"No, I don't think the character on the screen is fictional, I always feel like I've seen this person somewhere...... Misha? Han Jiang then shook his head again, "No, it's not Misha, who could it be?" ”

When Han Jiang muttered to himself, his hands were not idle, he moved the oil painting, revealing the eighth and last oil painting underneath, and at the same time, all three of them heard a crisp sound, and looked down, it turned out that an iron box was exposed in the gap between the seventh and eighth paintings.

The black iron box lay quietly on the eighth painting, and Tang Feng reached out to take the box, "Wait! But he was stopped by Han Jiang.

Tang Feng retracted his hand in shock, Han Jiang motioned for Tang Feng and Makarov to step back, and then carefully reached out and slowly picked up the iron box, Han Jiang gently weighed the weight, the box was quite heavy, and there were some slight noises, Han Jiang couldn't estimate what was in the box, he gently put the box back on the eighth painting, and then with a little effort, he opened the iron box, inside was a dagger, and there were some needles of different thicknesses and lengths placed on cotton, among which the longest and thickest needle, Still tied to a dagger, already somewhat rusty.

Makarov only glanced at it, and then he was shocked, "This ...... This seems to be the guy that Burtenko used to deal with the cadets in the first place. ”

"Oh! Are you saying that Burdenko used this thing to tattoo the cadets? Tang Feng asked.

"Yes, it should be something like that." Makarov's voice was small.

Tang Feng stared at the needles that were already a little rusty, and that terrible pattern appeared in front of his eyes again, no, it was an ancient and mysterious totem.

Han Jiang closed the iron box again, and leaned under the bed again, "There is still something under the bed?" Tang Feng asked.

"There are some strange bottles and cans in there!" Han Jiang said, pulling out a few bottles and cans, Tang Feng took a closer look, a porcelain plate, a military lunch box, and a military enamel water cup.

"What is this for? The man who lived here used these things to eat? Tang Feng was puzzled.

"Then there's no need to put these things under the bed!" Han Jiang frowned, staring at the bottles and cans under his feet, he suddenly found that the white porcelain plate had many bumps on the plate, wiped the dust on it, and the bottom was still very dirty, as if there was a layer of dirty stuff sticking, and then looked at the military lunch box and military enamel cup, which were also worn in many places, "It seems that these things have been used for a long time, and they are very dirty." ”

"Why aren't there knives, forks, spoons?" Makarov tract.

Han Jiang flipped through these tableware, and then took a flashlight under the bed, "No, there are indeed no knives, forks and spoons!" ”

"That's weird, is this for animals to eat?" Makarov said again.

"It's quite possible that the owner of this house has a dog." Tang Feng Road.

"Regardless of the rags, there's still a painting here?" When Han Jiang said this, everyone remembered that there was still an eighth painting on the ground that they hadn't seen? Tang Feng and Han Jiang gently brushed the dust off the last painting, and they saw that the picture was a dignified and beautiful woman, about thirty years old, blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a traditional Russian dress, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, with a hint of smile, the whole painting gave people a harmonious and elegant beauty.

"How did you get a portrait?" Tang Feng said in surprise.

Han Jiang and Makarov just looked at the painting quietly and didn't say anything, they both seemed to be attracted to the woman in the painting.

The three of them searched the hut carefully, but they didn't find anything again, Han Jiang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The owner of the hut won't leave us any clues again." ”

"He's got a lot left." Makarov said calmly.

Han Jiang and Tang Feng were both shocked when they heard Makarov say this, "Old Ma, what do you want to say?" Han Jiang asked.

Makarov shook his head, "No, I don't want to say anything, we did find two very important documents here, both of which are related to Burdenko, so I'm now sure that this place must be related to Burdenko." ”

"Even Burtenko is the owner of this cottage." Han Jiang stopped, looked at Makarov, and then looked at Tang Feng, "Buldenko was responsible for the construction of the No. 21 bunker in the thirteenth bureau, and we don't know what the specific reason is, but because of Burdenko's negligence, the entire bunker was abandoned, and after that, Burdenko was severely punished, and this punishment lasted for several years, until the KGB was ready to send the old horse here to establish an advance base, and Buldenko was allowed to make meritorious contributions, but Burdenko took advantage of the convenience of the forward base close to the bunker, Secretly training cadets in the bunker, this hut may have been one of his residences. ”

Tang Feng listened to Han Jiang's analysis, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, "No, your analysis sounds reasonable, but there are several loopholes, first of all, how is the forward base right near the bunker?" Is this just a coincidence? Secondly, why did Burtenko train cadets in bunkers? What ulterior motives does he have? ”

"First of all, it's really likely to be a coincidence, perhaps a deliberate arrangement on the part of the KGB, so that it can be used to make use of this unused bunker."

"The above intentional arrangement, why doesn't Lao Ma, who is the person in charge of the base, know?" Tang Feng retorted.

Han Jiang was speechless, held back for a while, and then said, "Then it can be regarded as a coincidence, as for the second point you said, I think that Bultenko's purpose of training students in the bunker is the purpose, as for whether it is for Hanhai Mi City, I can't say it now, but he didn't tell Lao Ma that he must have a purpose in training students in the bunker, coupled with the situation of the students' riots in the future, it fully shows that Buldenko took advantage of his position to train this powerful team privately." ”

"Okay, even if Buldenko trained this powerful team privately, then, after all, he died later, judging from the later riots in the base, this team still has strong combat effectiveness and organization and coordination ability after Buldenko's death, and even has connections with some foreign institutions, then, the question is back to the topic we discussed at the beginning, is Buldenko the head of this team, or did someone secretly usurp the leadership of this team later?"

Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically, but Han Jiang didn't answer, and Makarov said, "I'm more inclined to the latter now, and I still can't believe that Bultenko, who has been with me for more than two years, has single-handedly created the current team that is our enemy." ”

"This is just your subjective opinion, we already know that this team with eagle and wolf tattoos appeared on the Silk Road as early as the Republic of China, and then there were several ups and downs, sometimes disappeared, sometimes suddenly appeared, I don't know if Buldenko's goal is Hanhai Micheng, but he is undoubtedly an important link in the long history of this organization." Han Jiang said affirmatively.

"Maybe Buldenko is just a pawn in the whole organization, in the whole conspiracy?!" Tang Feng Road.

"Burtenko? How many secrets are you still hiding? What kind of role does it play? Makarov stared at the roof, muttering to himself in Russian.

When Han Jiang and Makarov were still thinking nonsense, Tang Feng turned his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange outside the rolling shutter door of the maintenance workshop...... Tang Feng's eyes widened suddenly, it was a pair of legs, someone was outside!

Yelena? Liang Yuan? No, it's neither, it's like a man's legs, Tang Feng was so shocked that he didn't know how to greet Han Jiang and Makarov, he wanted to shout, but he endured it again, he patted Han Jiang and Makarov's shoulders vigorously, "What are you doing?" Han Jiang shouted.

Tang Feng hurriedly turned around and made a silent gesture to Han Jiang, and when he turned his face again, the legs outside the rolling shutter door of the maintenance workshop were missing, "Legs...... Legs, just now, there...... That...... There's a pair of legs down there......"

"What? Where are the legs? Look at the flowers! Han Jiang sneered.

"No, it's true, it's true, I saw a pair of legs under the roller shutter!" Tang Feng also shouted.

Han Jiang and Makarov frowned, looked at the roller shutter door, then glanced at each other, then pulled out their guns, rushed out of the hut, and walked quickly through the empty maintenance workshop.

When the three of them approached the roller shutter door, they slowed down, Tang Feng followed behind Han Jiang, and hid sideways to the side of the roller shutter door, while Makarov hid to the other side, Han Jiang and Makarov exchanged glances, Han Jiang made a gesture to Tang Feng again, meaning to let Tang Feng cover, Tang Feng nodded, and the three of them were ready to stop, Han Jiang and Makarov jumped sideways almost at the same time out of the gap under the roller shutter door, and then rolled on the ground a few times, re-found a hidden position, raised a gun and rushed to the dark alleyway, Tang Feng also drilled out of the roller shutter door, hidden next to the wall, raising his gun and looking around.

It was pitch black all around, Tang Feng felt his heart beating wildly, he raised the gun with both hands, but both hands were trembling, and when Tang Feng's eyes slowly adapted to the darkness, Han Jiang said angrily, "Damn, what about the person you are talking about?" Is it a ghost? ”

Tang Feng didn't find anyone in the wide alleyway, but whether there was anything hidden under the other shutter doors on both sides, he pointed to Han Jiang and several other shutter doors, Han Jiang and Makarov came separately to the other three shutter doors, it was pitch black inside, Han Jiang with years of experience, he was almost sure that there was no one behind these shutter doors, so he pushed the flashlight and shone inside, sure enough, there was no figure behind the other three shutter doors.

Han Jiang and Makarov breathed a sigh of relief, but the frightened Tang Feng still held the gun tightly and stood silently in the dark alleyway, Han Jiang came over and patted him, Tang Feng eased up slightly, "I really saw a pair of legs just now." ”

"You're so nervous, that's your hallucination." Han Jiang Road.

"Hallucinations? No! Tang Feng said stubbornly.

"Okay, it's not too early for us to come down, Yelena and Liang Yuan should be in a hurry up, let's hurry up!" Han Jiang urged.

"Then why don't we look for the gate on this side?" Tang Feng had not forgotten that according to the engineering drawings, there should be a huge gate on the east side of the wide roadway, which was wide enough to allow large vehicles to enter the bunker directly.

Tang Feng did not give up, and rushed to the east end of Hall No. 3, according to the indication of the engineering drawing, this should be the location of the gate, but Tang Feng found that in front of him was a solid wall of reinforced concrete, no different from the walls of other places in the bunker, and there was no trace of going out at all, let alone how to open this door.

7

Just when Tang Feng was thinking nonsense, Han Jiang and Makarov had already urged him to go back, and Tang Feng had no choice but to retreat west the way they had come.

Along the way, all three of them carefully maintained a state of readiness to fight, but they did not stay long, passing through Hall 2, quickly retreating to Hall 1, and slowly returning to the ground from the elevator.

"Why did you come back? Are we all in a hurry? It must be big inside, right? Before Tang Feng could take a breath, Liang Yuan couldn't wait to throw out a series of whys.

"It's so strange here, we've been worried about you." Yelena also said.

Tang Feng briefly introduced the situation of the bunker, Yelena and Liang Yuan were stunned, Yelena asked Makarov, "Father, when you were here, did you know nothing about the bunker?" ”

Makarov looked at the Gobi outside the window in distraction, shook his head, everyone fell silent, Tang Feng looked at this tin house, and suddenly felt that this place was even more weird.

The five of them got back into the old jeep and returned to the base. Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, and Yelena have been discussing what happened in the bunker, but Makarov has been silent.

After dinner, everyone soon fell asleep, Tang Feng slept well this night, there were no nightmares, no crankiness, but he didn't sleep until dawn, but woke up before dawn!

Tang Feng opened his eyes and looked at Han Jiang who was still sleeping beside him, Liang Yuan and Yelena in the back room were also sleeping deeply, but when he moved his gaze to the other side, he found that Makarov's sleeping bag was actually empty.

Tang Feng was startled, and woke up suddenly, he reached out to touch Makarov's sleeping bag, it was cold, it seemed that Makarov had already left here, did Makarov go out by himself, or did something happen to him? Tang Feng thought, his heartbeat accelerated, he took the flashlight, slowly touched the back of the door, did not rush to open the door, but listened to the door behind the door for a while, and then slowly opened the door, the door was closed, Tang Feng shone the ground with a flashlight again, and found no suspicious footprints, Tang Feng then relaxed a little and walked out of the house.

Although it was summer, the temperature in the Gobi Desert dropped quickly at night, a gust of wind blew, Tang Feng felt a deep coolness, Tang Feng used a flashlight to shine a small square in front of the tin house, and did not see Makarov's figure, so Tang Feng walked to the center of the square with a flashlight, looked around, and did not see a trace of light, hey, where did this old horse go?

Tang Fenghu suspiciously walked through a row of tin houses, and then used a flashlight to shine it, on a small mound next to the base, there seemed to be a figure, but when the pillar of light irradiated by Tang Feng's flashlight swept over the person, the person did not react, Tang Feng did not dare to shine again, turned off the flashlight, and silently walked towards the black shadow on the small mound.

When he got closer, Tang Feng realized that this black shadow was Makarov, but Makarov was motionless, Tang Feng sat next to Makarov gently, Makarov seemed not to see Tang Feng, still staring motionlessly into the distance, in the distance, it was the east, Tang Feng could see that Makarov was looking at the training base in the east, that is, the location of the No. 21 bunker.

Tang Feng pushed the flashlight and shone it on the training base, the strong light from the flashlight penetrated the black curtain and shone on the iron houses of the training base, and as the light pillar moved on the iron house, Tang Feng found that Makarov's eyes finally moved.

"Are you alright?" Don asked Makarov.

"What can I do, an old bone!" Makarov shrugged and said slowly.

"You are an important person, a witness to the events of that year."

"Hey!" Makarov suddenly let out a heavy sigh before he slowly spoke again: "Those who witnessed the events of that year, yes, I am a few survivors of the scientific expedition, but I am not an important person. ”

"Why can't you count? You've been through so much! ”

"Cause...... For...... Heavy...... Want...... Person...... Thing...... Whole...... All...... Die...... ......" Makarov squeezed out such a sentence from his mouth almost word by word, and Tang Feng shuddered when he heard it.

"All the important people are dead?" Tang Feng immediately understood what Makarov meant, but he was eager to hear Makarov's analysis.

Makarov paused for a while, and then said slowly: "The three surviving members of the scientific expedition team, Misha and Liang Yunjie, are already dead, and the Ma Changguo who secretly followed the scientific expedition team is also dead, please note, Tang Feng, the time of their death is so close, almost all after the start of that huge conspiracy." ”

"A huge conspiracy?"

"Yes. After they escaped from the desert, they were safe for decades, but after that auction, they died one after another, first Ma Changguo, then Liang Yunjie, and then Misha, so that auction was the beginning of the whole huge conspiracy. ”

"Well, Han Jiang and I have also analyzed that all conspiracies started there, but we think that the conspiracy has been formed a long time ago, but for various reasons, that huge conspiracy has been sealed and frozen until the jade interstitial screen of the Winter Palace is discovered."

"No, the conspiracy was never mothballed and frozen, they were just waiting for the right moment. And the reason why I have survived until now is because I know very little about this conspiracy, so I have been spared many deaths. ”

"Oh? What about Liang Yunjie? He was only an interpreter for the scientific expedition team back then, so he should know very little about the secrets of Hanhai Mi City! Tang Feng asked rhetorically.

"Let's take a look at them one by one, according to the information that has been mastered, Misha seems to have inadvertently found Hanhai Micheng after the black dust storm, so he is the closest to the mystery and the person who knows the situation best, so he is also the most deserving of the insider, if it weren't for the KGB's protection for so many years, and his own hiding, I'm afraid Misha wouldn't have lived so long; Secondly, it is Ma Changguo, according to your analysis, Ma Changguo seems to have poisoned some of the surviving scientific expedition members in Dabaiquan after the black dust storm, and then he arrived at the Oasis of Death, although we can't confirm whether he is a person, or if there are other people who arrived at the Oasis of Death with him, but it is certain that he is also a person who is very close to the inside story, so Ma Changguo has been living in seclusion in a nursing home in the American countryside, otherwise, he may not live that long. ”

"Yes, the auction was set up by the general to lure out Ma Changguo, this guy was dying and still remembered to find Hanhai Micheng and sent his son to bid, which revealed his whereabouts, but his life was still good, and before the general caught him, he died of illness!"

"As for Liang Yunjie, my dear Liang, as Tang Feng said just now, Liang didn't know anything back then, but judging from the fact that he went to the auction and asked you to cooperate, Liang Yunjie has always hoped to solve the mystery, by the way, and the letter that Liang Yuan found, all of this shows that Liang Yunjie has been secretly investigating the past of the year, at least for these years."

"Well, that letter also reminded me of this, I originally thought that Liang Yunjie was involved in the whole incident because he saw that jade insert was going to be auctioned, but now it seems that he has probably been secretly investigating these things back then, so ......"

Makarov took Tang Feng's words, "So as soon as he bought the jade insert, he was killed." And then it's me, I'm ...... I've been thinking about the question just now, if I hadn't been involved in this incident because of Victor's murder, would I still be living my peaceful old age? ”

"This ......" Tang Feng hesitated a little.

"Of the four people who survived that year, three of them are dead, and I am the only one left, and I should be in danger, but Misha and Ma Changguo know too much inside information, Liang Yunjie has been investigating the events of that year, and since I escaped from the death of the expedition team, I have not paid attention to the events of that year, so I ......"

"But what about Burtenko? And Brenin, Isakov, Stephkin, these are also involved in this huge conspiracy to varying degrees, and you have worked with Buldenko for many years, can you say that you have always stayed out of it? ”

"That's exactly what I was worried about, and I'm starting to believe that word now......"

"What? What word? ”

"Fate! All this is fate, I escaped from the desert, and I actually returned to the desert more than ten years later, and it was so close to the place where the expedition team happened back then, and I was even more shocked that it was Bultenko, who was also involved in this huge conspiracy, of course, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that I only know all this today, this is not fate, and what is it? Makarov became emotional.

"So I'm sure you won't be able to move on with your retirement quietly, even if you're not involved." Tang Feng said calmly.

Makarov opened his mouth, but said nothing, and the eyes of the two fell together to the twenty-first bunker not far away, at this time, the east was already white, Tang Feng felt that under the desolate Gobi desert, there was a monster sleeping, which could burrow out of the ground at any time.
