Following the guidance of the signs, after a fork in the road, several people entered a deep tunnel.

For some reason, the lights in the tunnel were all damaged, and there was darkness all around, except for the footsteps of a few people.

Jaime pulls the emergency light out of his backpack and turns it on with a click, illuminating the road ahead.

The tunnel is about six kilometers long and enveloped in heavy darkness, and as the distance increases, the bright light emitted by the emergency lights gradually swallows up the darkness. The tunnel winds out and out with no end in sight.

Jaime swallowed and stared at the tunnel for a moment, then let out a long breath and said without blinking, "I've always wanted to travel here, I made an appointment with my friends, and I left in September. ”

Going around and around, he still came here at this time, but the friends he once met were no longer around.

Ruby pursed his lips and said with some disdain, "What's so fun about this?" If you want to travel, of course, you have to go south, and I want to go to Universal Studios, that's interesting. ”

Jaime patted the snow off his body and took two steps forward, "Of course children want to go to a place like that. When you're my age and have my experience, you'll be able to understand me. ”

Ruby gave him a disapproving look, "I think the two of us have about the same experience, oh, if you're talking about your experience dissecting animals, then I'm willing to bow down." ”

Jiang Ke listened to the two of them talking about each other, and interrupted them with a light cough, "Then, briefly explain the situation ahead." ”

Jaime nodded, then gave a military salute, "No problem, sir!" ”

"There is a very famous town in front of us, which is in the bosom of the mountains, facing the sea, forming an enclosed area, and this tunnel is the only way for them to enter or leave this town.

The town is famous because there is only one 14-storey building in this town, and all the residents live here. Whether you're going to school, entertaining, eating, ordering takeout, or going to the supermarket, it's all done in this high-rise building.

By the way, this tunnel, along with this building, was built in the early years of the war, and it can be regarded as half an antique. ”

Accompanied by James' "tour guide", the group gradually approached the end of the tunnel.

Jaime opened his arms excitedly and exclaimed, "Behold!" ”

Jiang Ke looked in front of him and motioned for Ruby and Nadia to stop, while he quickly overtook Jaime and rubbed forward along the inner wall.

Out of caution, Jiang Ke pressed his body against the wall as much as possible, and it was very dark in the tunnel, so that if someone looked inside, he would not easily find someone.

Sure enough, there is a checkpoint outside the end of the tunnel.

There is a large searchlight near the checkpoint, shining into the tunnel. Apparently, the other party had heard their voices.

Jiang Ke couldn't help frowning, he had already vaguely seen the guards next to the sentry post, it seemed that this shelter was not simply formed spontaneously by refugees. And once you get in, it's hard to come out again.

Jiang Ke said through the intercom headphones, trying to lower his voice as much as possible, "Ruby, Nadia, don't come out." When you hear me say "I'm sorry", you can quickly walk through and hide. ”

After receiving affirmative replies from Ruby and Nadia, Jiang Ke said again, "Jaime, you come with me." ”

Jaime nodded, "It's safest to be with you, I'm relieved." ”

When everything was ready, Jiang Ke and Jaime stepped into the light from the searchlight. The two of them moved forward, blocking the glare of light in front of them with their hands.

Jiang Ke shouted loudly, "We need help!" We saw the street signs along the way and came here! ”

“Help!” Not to be outdone, Jaime shouted.

As if to observe them, there was no response from the other side of the checkpoint for a long time, and Jaime and Jiang Ke had to continue walking.

A moment later, a voice came through the loudspeaker, "Put your hands in the visible and walk slowly!" ”

Jiang Ke obeyed and raised his hand, "Okay!" No problem! We are civilians! ”

The two of them raised their hands like this, squinted their eyes, and finally walked out of the tunnel in the light.

To Jiang Ke's surprise, the other party set up such a well-equipped and even very professional checkpoint, but the guard configuration was very weak. There was only one person, and the attitude of this person seemed slightly idle or unprofessional.

The man had a cigarette in his mouth, and he took a very pleasant puff, and the smoke drifted in the air. He twisted his neck, looking a little impatient, "Why are there two more?" ”

"Again?" Jiang Ke asked.

The smoking guard took a puff of his cigarette, picked up the notebook from the table next to him, and flipped through a few pages, "Ahhh......h It's nothing, just a survivor arrived some time ago, followed by another person, which is relatively rare. So...... How did you get here? Let's talk about the basic personal situation. ”

"Ke Jiang, 26 years old, tourist. From Phil Brannick. ”

"James Clark, 27, teacher, from Philbannick."

"You're not going to come here too, are you?" The guards wrote, and when they heard the situation of the two, they couldn't help but ask, "Has something gone wrong with Fairbannick's shelter recently?" Why are so many people coming? ”

Jiang Ke shook his head, "Half and half, our car broke down halfway." ”

Jaime hurriedly added, "yes, it was so much snow yesterday, did you see that?" The wind is blowing, tsk. ”

"Coincidentally, put the backpack there for a while." The guards turned around and walked towards the machine, Jiang Ke saw the opportunity, and quickly knocked the searchlight off a little, and the light shone to the side of the tunnel, so that the other party had a smaller chance of finding Ruby and Nadia.

Immediately, Jiang Ke pushed a guard, and the exit was completely in a blind spot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Didn't stand firm. Jiang Ke hurriedly apologized to the guards.

When Ruby was still hesitating whether this "sorry" was really sorry or a signal, Nadia had already grabbed her arm and trotted forward quickly. After the two of them exited the tunnel, they turned and hid in the nearby vegetation, while Andrew quietly followed.

"It's okay, it's okay." The guards were also very polite.

Before putting the bag for testing, Jiang Ke took out a cigarette and handed it to the guards, the guards were a little strange, could it be that people near Fairbannick like to bring cigarettes on their bodies recently?

He adjusted his facial expression, and knocked on a sign next to him that said "Prohibited items from the camp" very seriously, "Do you have any contraband?" ”

Jiang Ke had a smile on his face, "No, no, we just want to find out, is this a refuge or a military base?" ”

Standing here, he could hear the sound of training coming from the camp, and the helicopters taking off and landing from time to time.

Seeing that the other party just wanted to ask a question, the guard relaxed, "This used to be a shelter, but recently it has been like a base. Let's just say that this checkpoint, there used to be a lot of shifts here, but now it has been changed to two shifts. The guard lit another cigarette and handed one to Jiang Ke, but Jiang Ke politely refused.

Not far away, there was the sound of someone trotting over, and the smoking guards hurriedly hid the cigarettes Jiang Ke gave him. He raised his eyebrows at Jiang Ke, "Two people in one post, 12 hours in a round." That's my partner. ”

Jiang Ke nodded knowingly.

"Huh? New here? The other approached, looking a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ke and James.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered." The smoking guard patted the book and made a gesture of release to Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke, who still wanted to ask something, had to give up and entered the shelter along the path.

"You two, come with me." As they approached the edge of the vault, a man in uniform called out to the two.

Jiang Ke glanced at this person, pulled his backpack, and walked over.

The trio walked through the entire shelter, the characteristic 14-story house surrounded by tents, sparsely populated, full of old men, children, and women, with little sign of young people.

Jiang Ke and Jaime walked to a bungalow, which was not far from the camp, but the young men seemed to be training intensively here.

The two were ushered upstairs and waited in a private room, and before Jaime could speak, the man leading the way turned away and locked the door.

"Hmm...... Ke, if he comes in with the food in a moment, remember to eat it all! In this way, it will be shown that you are not weak-hearted! Jaime said with a serious face, and there was a light and shadow passing through the window, the light of a helicopter that was landing.

"What?" Jiang Ke obviously didn't keep up with Jaime's thoughts, and he was taking advantage of the time when no one was in contact with Ruby and Nadia.

Jaime leaned sideways, put his knees on Jiang Ke, and said solemnly, "Don't you think we don't look like we're being detained?" I watched a movie that said that before the interrogation, the police will give you food, and if you eat it, it means that you are not weak-hearted. This is criminal psychology. ”

Jiang Ke frowned and glanced at James, and Ruby's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Janime, if you want to act, please shut up the microphone first." We couldn't hear what Ke was saying. ”。

Footsteps were heard outside the door getting closer, apparently someone was coming to question the two of them.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Get ready! Jaime sat down and said with some excitement.

"I'll be in touch later." Jiang Ke ended the communication, he looked at the door curiously, not knowing what would happen next.

The door was gently opened, and a man in a straight suit and a dignified appearance appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

"Good evening, gentlemen, I'm Dick. The manager of this sanctuary is also the director of the Alita company's Asra district. ”

Jaime and Jiang Ke's smiles froze on their faces.
