Chapter 32: Underground Space
The downward passage is in a warehouse, which happens to be in the western part of the Black Wolf Squad.
Jiang Yuan immediately notified Lily of the Valley and the other teams who were still searching, and Chu Tianming also hid his thoughts and came over.
The so-called downward passage is not a place like a secret room as they think, but the underground part of this factory warehouse.
In the pre-war era, many large factories had such facilities, and the above-ground part was used to store some things for immediate use, and the underground part was generally stocked.
The Great War did not break out all at once, but continued to ferment for several years, and slowly turned from a local war into a world war. And these large national factories, especially those that produce materials, have an indispensable underground part.
The entrance to the underground part of the warehouse should be spacious, but most of the warehouse has collapsed, and the garbage that has collapsed from the roof has covered the entrance to the underground part layer after layer.
Lily of the valley pointed to the pile of rubbish, which can only be described as garbage, and said, "Clear these things and go down and have a look." ”
"I don't think that's necessary." Li Qinglong walked over, this was the first time he had publicly opposed Lily of the Valley's decision, "This entrance is completely covered, it doesn't look like someone is going in and out. ”
Lily of the valley was angry in her heart, but her face couldn't be too obvious, without Li Qinglong's support in the mercenary team, most of the mercenaries would not listen to her.
"Those missing people may be down here, and who's to say it's going to be people coming in and out?" Lily of the valley smiled.
Chu Tianming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What Lily of the Valley said is not unreasonable, there is no evidence that the missing team was committed by humans, and the people present probably believe that the reason for the disappearance of the three teams is very likely to be done by mutant beasts.
Before leaving, Moore summoned people in front of the administrative building, and he showed Chu Tianming's mission record to everyone, and the fusion monster and the huge octopus monster that appeared at the end had a big impact on them.
Since there are fusion monsters spawning in that area, who can guarantee that there won't be a fusion monster that has been fully fused here?
Li Qinglong really didn't want to waste time in this kind of thing, and there was no trace of the missing team to this day. Although they probably knew where they were when they disappeared, they didn't see it with their own eyes, and they didn't have any exact information, so they could only look for a needle in a haystack.
Li Qinglong was speechless, so he had to wave his hand and let his team take the lead in cleaning up the garbage. With the people of the Blue Dragon Mercenary Group as an example, where do the other squads dare to complain.
But they were still thinking about the mission that Moore had posted, and the device might be right down there. All the equipment on the ground has been destroyed, and if there is any usable equipment, it is in the ground nine times out of ten.
More than a dozen teams worked together to clear the garbage covering the underground entrance, and a downward staircase led to the deep underground.
"Garrison, get ready to enter!" Lily of the valley pulled out the gun on his body, it was a large-caliber shotgun, in terms of power and caliber, this gun can be described as a cannon.
The members of the garrison lit the spotlights on their shoulders and walked down in groups of three.
Lily of the valley followed behind the soldiers of the garrison, and in terms of the other squads, Chu Tianming followed. As soon as Chu Tianming got on, Jiang Yuan followed with the black wolf team.
The other team leaders watched them go down before waving their hands and following unhurriedly.
The power system in the warehouse is long gone, and there is black pressure all around, and there is still bright light in the first section, and the more you go down, the weaker the light becomes. In the end, only the spotlights on the shoulders of the fighters were still on.
"Be careful around." Lily of the valley said in a deep voice.
The soldiers' spotlights flickered back and forth, scanning the surroundings, and the underground part of the warehouse was also a mess, and the damage was not much worse than that on the ground.
After a while, the downward people stepped on the flat ground, Chu Tianming stomped lightly with his foot, and a burst of dust suddenly rose on the ground, constantly rolling in the light of the spotlight. But at Chu Tianming's feet, there was a dangdang sound.
Chu Tianming frowned slightly, squatted down and touched the ground with his mechanical arm, and said, "The ground below is all metal. ”
Lily of the valley also squatted down and looked at it when she heard this, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Is it really necessary for such a smelter to spend such a cost to build a fully confined underground space? Or is there something in this smelter that can't be made public or is extremely secret?
"Can you go?" Li Qinglong was impatient, and he was anxious to find the team he had disappeared from.
Lily of the valley nodded, waved at the soldiers of the garrison, and motioned for them to move on.
There was no fork in the road in front of the warehouse, and there were tall shelves on both sides of the road, but there was nothing left on them.
The crowd had gone forward for a quarter of an hour, and a fork in the road appeared in front of them. At the fork in the road, it can be seen from the signs that have been broken in half and thrown on the ground that one road leads to the warehouse area of Area C under the factory, and the other road leads to the underground production area of the factory.
Lily of the valley is in trouble, and both forks in the road obviously need to be searched, and now they do have some, but it is not suitable to separate.
"Let's ...... this way"
"Let's go separately!" Li Qinglong didn't wait for Lily of the Valley to finish speaking, so he preemptively said, "There are two roads here, and it is more efficient to search separately." ”
"However, we don't know much about the situation here, and if we hastily separate, in case we ......" Lily of the Valley's concerns are not unreasonable.
"It doesn't matter, the squads involved in the operation are all good in the base." Li Qinglong said, and the corner of his eye glanced at Chu Tianming and Jiang Yuan on the side.
Lily of the valley saw that she couldn't compete with Li Qinglong, so she had to nod in agreement, stretched out her hand and said, "Then let's take this road." ”
The road chosen by Lily of the Valley is the road in the same factory production area.
Chu Tianming didn't wait for Jiang Yuan to speak to the others, so he opened his mouth and agreed, "Let's go this way too." ”
The rest of the team, almost all of them chose to follow Li Qinglong to the other side. But this kind of distribution of Lily of the Valley is not happy, his own garrison plus the black wolf squad, there are only about fifty people in total, while Li Qinglong has twelve squads.
Li Qinglong also seemed to think that these people were too much, so he casually ordered three teams and assigned them to Lily of the Valley.
These three squads are usually not very close to the Qinglong Mercenary Group, which also caused the dissatisfaction of the captains of these three squads.
However, the commander gave the order, so he had to obey it, otherwise it would be difficult to say that he would return to the base and go to Morna.
After the manpower was distributed, the two groups of people each walked into the path they chose, and after a while, they were gone.
Chu Tianming followed behind the garrison, and the sound of their feet hitting the metal floor echoed in the underground space of the factory for a long time.
The roads behind the forks are also straight, and there will be an intersection occasionally, but Chu Tianming and they will not walk in without trouble.
A few minutes later, a group of dozens of people walked out of the straight passage and came to a large space. Chu Tianming looked down by the light of the spotlight and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
