Chapter 232: Eve
Time: It was getting dark, and it was already evening.
Location: At a secret sub-base of the Observer organization in a city in China.
Against the backdrop of the red glow on the horizon and the evening breeze, the delicate and petite girl was climbing the ladder with some difficulty, and finally climbed a high tower.
It is a lookout tower in the middle of the site, close to the tall, sturdy concrete fence with barbed wire on the wall. Within the fortifications, there is a military fortress-like architectural layout, and the complex of buildings is neatly planned and scattered.
Weapon towers with machine guns or machine guns can be seen everywhere, and every traffic point is heavily guarded, as if facing a great enemy. Cameras and detection instruments of various specifications, whether obvious or covert, are everywhere, forming layers of blockades without dead ends in all directions.
Although the area is not large, the various military facilities and universal buildings are quite well planned, making full use of every inch of land and space.
Hospitals, factories, airports, laboratories, power stations, headquarters...... They invariably occupy various terrain and are heavily guarded. When she first met her, she even thought that she had broken into a military base of a certain country, and she couldn't react at all.
And if it were before, she couldn't have imagined that outside the suburbs of the city where she lived, she didn't know when such a terrible fortification base was built.
All she knew was that the outskirts of the city had not yet been developed, and there was only one provincial road, shuttling between the plains and the mountains, and occasionally passing through large paddy fields and some backward and remote villages.
It's about four or five hours away—of course, it's relatively smooth, it's all unobstructed, there's no traffic jams, and she's usually going to have to sit in the car for six or seven hours and then start to doubt her life.
Looking at the provincial road that could be seen faintly from afar, and then looking back at the base that looked like a huge machine had activated the mechanism and was completely running at full power, the girl still had a feeling that all this was very unreal in a trance.
She didn't know when a base was built here in the suburbs, but during this time, she had heard some things from the people here.
It is said that this base was built more than half a year ago under the prophecy of that prophet.
After she made some inquiries, she found that there seemed to be a not-so-well-known real estate developer in the suburbs half a year ago, but who spent a lot of money and invested a large amount of money, saying that he wanted to enter real estate and develop and build villas.
It's just that after all, it is located in a remote development zone, so although the advertisement says "stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy a quiet life", "private territory, sit on the appreciation space", the real estate is blown to the sky, but no one is fooled.
In the end, a large amount of investment was wasted and became a laughing stock of people, and everyone felt that the investor was afraid that he was not stupid and had a lot of money, or that he was a stupid son of a landlord's family.
But now, Xiaoxue felt a hint of enlightenment, she vaguely felt that she understood something, and couldn't help but sigh-
What kind of textbook classic failed investment case is this, I am afraid that people have come for this result from the beginning, and they have not thought about investing successfully at all.
It's just that with the help of such a pretense, while attracting people's attention, it can naturally gather a large number of construction teams, building materials, various resources, manpower and material resources, and start construction in the suburbs.
On the surface, it is to develop real estate, but in fact, it is just to serve the establishment of this secret base. And after everything was completed, it was a natural failure to invest, which made the real estate developer's joke attract people's attention.
That way, no one will know what they're doing in the outskirts of the city.
I'm afraid that even the local officials who were in charge of introducing this item in the first place probably wouldn't think that this investment failure was a political achievement, and they often thought that there was no such thing, and they would not take the initiative to explore it, and they did not want others to explore it.
Therefore, it is natural that not many people will realize that something is wrong inside, such as the discrepancies and so on.
And the reason why such a large military base stands here in the suburbs is so conspicuous, but it has never been known. It is said that the "Observer" organization also used the characteristics of two containment objects after that, and the specific number has been forgotten.
Just remember that they said that one of the containment objects had the effect of creating a strange psychological blind spot, so that the unsuspecting had no way of detecting what they were seeing when they entered the area.
Strictly speaking, they did see it, but at that time, they were also distracted by the nature of the containment, and their attention was not able to be concentrated, and their minds were thinking about another thing.
It's like walking down the road while talking on the phone, and because your attention is focused on talking to the other side of the phone, you often don't remember what you see on the road, and you don't feel anything wrong afterwards.
- Even when many people are on the phone, no matter what others hand over, they will subconsciously take it in their hands, and wait until they hang up the phone, and then look at the things in their hands with a pensive face, wondering if their memory is buggy.
The effect of another containment object is a little more straightforward, which is anti-satellite and anti-reconnaissance, but it is said to have serious side effects.
Regardless of the country or region of origin or native language, they have reported that a strange song has appeared in their minds for no reason, accompanied by the sound of playing basketball, playing in a crazy loop, and they can't stop at all.
This side effect will last for approximately three to seven days, during which time the period will be extended if the user continues to come into contact with the containment.
As such, one of the requirements for the use of the containment object is to change personnel on a daily basis to prevent the same user from developing too severe and irreversible mental problems due to being disturbed by the side effects of the containment for too long.
Anyway, it's just the cooperation of these two containment objects that is quite effective in covering up the existence of this base.
It's just that even such a fortified fortress, which seems to have no defensive holes and is impregnable, now seems to have reached a critical point of life and death.
The girl looked back, and at a cursory glance, she could see that there were many soldiers and doctors who were nervously busy, walking between various facilities and buildings.
There were also some researchers who had already been evacuated by plane at noon with valuable experimental materials, after all, they were not wartime personnel, and it was useless to stay, and if the final base was lost, it would only increase the loss of the organization.
Because according to the prophecy of the prophet, the so-called "aliens" will invade this world from the exotic physical plane in a big way, and this is their main target, just because her best friend is here.
Prophecy or something......
The Sage or something......
Xiaoxue doesn't want to know, and it's hard to understand, the only thing she can understand is what secrets her best friend seems to be hiding from her.
She also knew that she should actually leave at this time, and it was right to protect herself, but she still couldn't do it anyway. So instead of leaving, she called home and solemnly told her parents to get ready, and asked the Observer to send someone to protect her family.
And this organization did agree, because they also wanted to keep this girl, after all, until now, Miss Chai Ying has not woken up from the nightmare, and it seems that she has not passed the trial.
This made many people anxious, the war is approaching, the end is coming, and the prophesied savior is still lying in bed?
Are you kidding! But they have no choice but to hope that emotions such as friendship can turn decay into magic at the most critical moment and wake up the sleeping Miss Chai Ying.
After all, it's all played like this in movies, the echo of true love, the power of remorse...... As soon as such an element appears, the protagonist will often explode, reverse the situation, break through in battle, fight back, and turn the tide.
Perhaps it is because of Ji You's affectionate call, or because he senses that Ji You is in danger in his sleep, that the Savior will burst out of his potential as prophesied, and complete the test of God in one fell swoop......
It may sound unreliable, but what if it's true?
In such a bad situation, the members of the organization can only try everything, and in their minds, the scientific concept has long been crumbling.
Minutes and seconds passed.
It was getting dark, and night was falling.
All kinds of high-power searchlights in the base were turned on one after another, and no one relaxed, but became more nervous, and many soldiers' nerves and muscles tensed.
"Xiaoxue...... What are you doing here? Some awkward Chinese sounded in the night breeze.
At this time, a few people climbed the ladder and came up to the top of the watchtower, carrying all kinds of heavy equipment and equipment, or guns and ammunition, as if they were preparing to set up this place as a firepower point.
The one who opened her mouth was a heroic woman, Xiaoxue also knew, the other party was an American, with a hot body and a very good face, and at a glance she looked like a sunny and cheerful big sister next door.
However, its own abilities are not bad at all, and there is also a designation - X-0056.
This means that she is a living containment object, a human with an ability, and it is unclear what the ability is.
"Miss Angelina...... I just want to see that city over there, otherwise I probably won't have the chance to see it again. Xiaoxue was already a little familiar with the other party during this time, she pulled the corners of her mouth a little reluctantly, and stretched out her finger to point to the outline of the city in the distance.
She lived there for more than two years, close to three years...... She didn't know if she would survive tonight.
