Chapter 37: Taihu Lake Base

The blue waves are thousands of miles, and the lake is leisurely.

The waves crashed against the reef on the shore, causing a splash before dispersing and turning into mist.

Looking deeper, it is even more water and sky, and the momentum is magnificent.

Nearby, on the hillock on the opposite shore, I don't know when it has been covered with a layer of twilight, and under the sunset, it looks like a seated Buddha dressed in a xia robe, floating out of the dust, and about to fly away at some point.

After the absence of human pollution, this famous cave blessed land in China has regained its original vitality.

However, the catastrophe thousands of years ago has also left a deep mark on it, and under this seemingly calm water, it is said that there are no less than ten A-class mutant beasts.

After a night of joy, Ma Ping'an did not kill him, and after knocking out the cloud warbler, the dragon warrior quietly dived into the water from the island, and walked deeper along the bottom of a dark lake.

Seventy years ago, after the Survivors Alliance broke through the rudimentary space navigation technology, the satellite positioning system has the ability to cover the whole world.

After learning the identity of Yun Ying, Ma Ping'an already knew that any open place in the wild could expose his whereabouts.

In contrast, the bottom of the lake is much safer.

For tens of thousands of years, countless fishing boats have sunk at the bottom of Taihu Lake, and even if you use a metal detector to find a small mecha in an area of thousands of square kilometers, it is undoubtedly about the same difficulty as finding a needle in the sea.

The only thing to worry about is those high-level mutant beasts that are infested.

But after seeing the super offensive and defensive ability and superior speed of the dragon warriors, even if he encounters those terrifying A-level mutant beasts at the bottom of the lake where he is slightly unable to move, Ma Ping'an is already ninety percent sure that he can deal with it easily.

What's more, the number of A-class mutant beasts is scarce, but how can they be encountered so coincidentally?

In addition, according to many records, before the end of the day, it is said that there is a secret military base in China under the Taihu Lake.

Although the alliance has also sent many expeditions to search, the final result is nothing.

But since he found such a superb dragon warrior in the secret room of the old man's ancient zoo, Ma Ping'an is full of enthusiasm for such an 'archaeological cause'.

Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in the next few days, so it's also a beautiful thing to walk around the bottom of this lake and shop for Taobao casually.

Who knows if God will open his eyes and suddenly let himself fall into a treasure trove?

At least your own brain is infinitely more flexible than that of scientists who don't know it, right?

But it often backfires, trouble always comes earlier than good luck, the shadow of the treasure house hasn't even seen a fart, Ma Ping'an has already encountered something that gives him a headache.

It was a snake-like monster tens of meters long and more than twenty centimeters thick.

It has an ugly head that closely resembles that of a crocodile, covered with palm-sized scales, and a pair of short transparent wings on the front of its body.

If you have four more claws, it looks a little similar to the Jiao in ancient mythology, and it does have a Jiao character in its name.

Electric Snake, A-class mutant beast.

Among the water mutants recorded in the Mutant Chronicle, it ranks sixth in Class A.

In 4064 AD, a scientific expedition directly under the headquarters of the Remnant Alliance discovered it in Taihu Lake.

In that era when there was no mecha protection, the expedition of 37 people, in the end, only one lucky guy escaped with his life because he had diarrhea and did not get on the ship, so he filmed what happened to his teammates before they were killed on the shore.

Thirty years later, the Coalition archives were declassified, and the video was declassified online, allowing the world to see the terrifying power of this monster in the water.

The dragon warrior's infrared detection system is still extremely sensitive in this dark water, and the figure of this electric snake has been found hundreds of meters away.

Ma Ping'an smiled bitterly and drove the dragon warrior to a boulder and stopped, and the mecha immediately simulated the appropriate color according to the surrounding environment, and soon merged with the boulder.

It's not a good time to do now, and even if you can eliminate this big guy, it will definitely set off a lot of storms.

If someone happens to be observing the surface of the lake, there is a good chance that it will be exposed.

"Hey, hey, hey... Damn, Lao Tzu has something to do now, I don't want to trouble you, don't mess with Lao Tzu yourself! ”

Ma Ping'an cursed in his heart, watching the long body of the electric snake swim closer and closer, and he actually came straight towards the dragon warrior, without the slightest intention of turning around.

The dragon warrior's camouflage doesn't seem to be very effective, at least for now.

The electric snake had almost its nose up, and its ugly mouth had been opened.

Although he couldn't smell his bad breath while sitting in the mecha, the blue electric balls flashing in his black throat still gave Ma Pingan goosebumps.

This thing is said to have 30,000 volts, I really don't know how there is such a thing in the water, isn't the water conductive...

Ma Ping'an thought about the information about the electric snake in "Mutations", and muttered a sentence in his mouth, but he didn't know how to count it in his heart.

Although even ordinary mechs have a resistive layer, it is really doubtful whether they can withstand the high voltage of 30,000 volts.

"Damn, you came to the door yourself, don't blame me for being unkind."

Ma Ping'an remembered the black, steaming like roast chicken pioneers in that video, and couldn't help but shudder, and decided to strike first.

The dragon warrior cautiously raised its left hand, which had turned into the color of a stone pillar, aimed at the open jaws of the electric snake, and just wanted to launch, but saw the electric snake bow its head and swept past the mecha.

Ma Ping'an was surprised, and quickly adjusted the angle of the screen, only to find that at the bottom of the boulder on the left side of the mecha, there was a hole more than one meter high.

The head of the electric snake had already poked in, and its body slowly slid in, and it turned out that it was blocking the door of someone's house.

"This hole is quite deep..."

There was no hidden infrared camera on the mecha's feet, and after the electric snake went in for a long time, Ma Ping'an manipulated the dragon warrior to take a few steps back and squatted down to observe.

The cave was so dark that it seemed like there was a bend ahead, so even the infrared detector could only see about ten meters away.

Ma Ping'an suddenly became a little excited.

This reef at the bottom of the water is six or seven meters high, but only about five meters wide, and the body of this electric snake is tens of meters long, where can it hide?

If the estimate is correct, the bottom of this stone should be empty, is it really so good?

Consider the introduction of Taihu Lake in Adventurer Magazine.

From the establishment of the alliance to the present, the official alliance expedition team alone has conducted no less than 40 searches in the Taihu Lake area.

The expeditions carried out by other private adventure groups are even more numerous.

Almost every square meter of these thousands of square kilometers of the lake has been carefully searched with metal detectors, but nothing has been found.

However, the remnants of the pre-apocalyptic materials that have been discovered by the Remnant Alliance show that under the Taihu Lake, there is indeed a military scientific research base of the Huaxia Alliance.

This starts with the Battle of Doom.

In the Doomsday War a thousand years ago, the peace-loving Chinese nation was the last country to fight back, so it was also one of the hardest hit regions.

Although in the early stage of the war, due to indecision, his country suffered many unnecessary losses.

But in the later stages of the Doomsday War, the Chinese government, which also possessed space navigation technology, was the most decisive government.

The first to launch the immigration program.

The first to build a mother ship of immigrants capable of one-way, long-range space jumps.

The first to carry out substantial migration operations, and thus occupy the best location and environment of the nine immigrating planets detected at the time.

In the case of migrant motherships, which can only accommodate one percent of the country's post-war population.

At that time, the strong men of the Chinese government broke their wrists and set an immigration policy with scientific and technological personnel as the main preservation force.

It is said that at that time, 90% of government officials and business people voluntarily stayed on Earth because of this.

Compared with the wealthy priority policy of the European-American-Japanese alliance, the Chinese people in a desperate situation embody amazing cohesion and the greatest virtue.

But it is precisely because of these firsts that at the end of the Doomsday War, China, which had lost almost all its scientific and technological talents, was devastated by the US-Europe-Japan alliance led by East Japan and the United States.

Within a year of the departure of the Chinese migrant mothership, a nuclear attack that covered almost all of the country left the whole of China in ruins.

Powerful nuclear weapons have changed the landscape, and those in the know will either die in the flames of war or under nuclear radiation.

As a result, the remaining military and scientific and technological bases have also been buried underground.

Two years after the Chinese immigrants, the increasingly harsh environment forced the US-Europe-Japan alliance and other countries with space navigation technology to launch immigration programs one after another.

Before they left Earth, those in power made a crazy decision.

In order to ensure that the newly developed planets will not repeat the fate of the earth after immigration, and in order to control the population and implement the elite genetic policy, it is necessary to prevent the remnants of the earth from mastering space navigation technology in the short term, so the technological extinction plan was formed.

So, within three days before the departure of their migrant mothership, according to the information in their hands, all the scientific and technological facilities on the earth were destroyed, and the technology of the remnants was set back by nearly a thousand years...

By this time, the scientific research bases that had been buried in the ground by nuclear attacks before the tech extinction program were relatively well preserved.

These bases tend to have extremely strong defenses, many of which are hundreds of meters underground, and there is a good chance that some of them could be saved in the event of a nuclear attack.

And Huaxia Taihu Lake Base is one of them.

However, it is likely that the base, which is already extremely hidden, has been buried hundreds of meters underground after the terrain changes caused by the nuclear attack.

It is difficult to find an entrance to the thousands of square kilometers of Taihu Lake that may not exist.

"Damn, if you think that old man can easily find a good place like the ancient zoo, who said that I would definitely die? This hole... There must be quirks! ”

Thinking of these materials, Ma Ping'an couldn't help but take a deep breath and became highly excited.

He had forgotten that the old man had lived in the ancient zoo for seven years before he found the entrance mechanism of the secret room, so how could he start with these four words...

With the electric snake in it, he didn't dare to come nonsense, Ma Ping'an thought about it, and suddenly patted his head and turned out a small metal object from the driver's cabin.

It was a miniature eight-clawed robot of 10 centimeters, which was said to be Hu Si's latest invention.

At a range of two kilometers, its movements can be controlled by a remote control, and at the head of the robot, an infrared detection system is installed, and the wireless signal sent is compatible with any specified display system.

This is Ma Ping'an's violent trophy when Hu Si proudly displayed in front of Ma Ping'an.

It's a pity that Ma Ping'an's talent in this area is really low, and under the guidance of the main control chip, he was busy sweating to connect the robot with the virtual screen in the cockpit.

Then he shot it out through a launch channel inside the mecha, still muttering in his heart: "Be waterproof... Otherwise, go back to K's dead thoughts, you bastard! ”

The prayer worked, and the octopus-clawed robot deftly rolled over in the water, landed firmly on the ground, and climbed into the hole according to the control of the remote control in Ma Ping'an's hand.

The power of the infrared system on its body is much lower than that on the dragon warrior's, so it can only see a range of about ten meters, but the eight-clawed thing is really flexible, and it quickly climbed to the place where it turned the corner after a while.

Ma Ping'an manipulated it while looking at the situation inside the hole through the screen, the more he watched, the more excited he became, and the more he watched, the more he felt like an orgasm...

After entering more than 20 meters, the cave is almost inclined downward at an angle of 45 degrees, and the diameter has also shrunk a lot, from one meter at the entrance to about 30 centimeters.

The surrounding area of the cave slowly became smooth and flat, and then fifty meters inside, after measurement, the diameter of the cave did not change at all, this is clearly artificially built...

But with the rapid progress of the eight-clawed robot, Ma Ping'an's heart slowly cooled again.

It's almost a kilometer, and even if the actual depth is reduced because it's an incline, it's at least 500 meters underground.

Look at the walls of the cave, it should be made of concrete, and then look at the small hole of 30 centimeters, even if there is a base below, you can't get in...

The octawed robot didn't know what the owner thought, and still ran forward honestly, seeing that it was about to reach the two-kilometer remote control limit, and there was still no sign of the end in sight, and even the electric snake didn't know where to run.

Ma Ping'an finally gave up and took the octalaw robot back, but even so, he was still a little comforted.

The appearance of this cave indicates that there must be something underneath, but it may be that I am looking for the ventilation passage at that time instead of the entrance.

It's like buying a lottery ticket, the first six are all right, and the last one is wrong, but you can get the lottery anyway...
