Abstract: Xu Jiandong nodded after hearing this, and said: "Yes, what Mr. Jones said is right, I also think that there must be some secrets hidden in this castle, and the most important point is that there are so many dead people here, and they can't find such a big pit to bury for a while, the corpse is exposed to high temperature for a long time, it is easy to cause plague and disease, and the air is not good, so while everyone is searching here, the main thing is to find a way to escape............ ”

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret in the Belly of the Mountain

After hearing this, the big man got up and said: "Okay, just celebrate, we have won a great victory, we have killed so many pirates, and how much we have contributed to the country and the people, do you think the government will give us a credit!" ”

After hearing this, the thin man smiled and said: "Okay, if you don't remember the merits, I don't feel any interest, as long as I can return home safely, I will be Amitabha!" ”

The big man Lao Hu said with a smile: "Qiangzi, you kid is really a bit hypocritical when he says this, just now you said that you don't believe in superstition, so what kind of Buddha are you reciting now............... ”

The thin man heard what he said, smiled and gave him a punch, and said without idleness: "Lao Tzu, this is called temporary cramming, isn't it?" ”。

Unexpectedly, the big man Lao Hu was almost knocked down by his light punch, but fortunately, the thin man's skills reacted quickly, grabbed his arm again, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I forgot for a while, you just lost so much blood .........." ”

The big man Lao Hu returned the thin man's punch and scolded: "Then you still fucking beat Lao Tzu, what kind of hero is taking advantage of people's danger, don't say I'm lazy with you............!" ”

After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.

The voices of the two people unconsciously raised, waking up Jones who was unconscious, he looked at the big man in front of him, the old man and the thin man, and said, "Mr. Hu, am I dead or alive............ Is there any water, please bring some, I am very thirsty ............ now. ”

Seeing this, the thin man smiled and said to Jones: "It's okay, Mr. Jones, you came back from the dead, it was this big man Brother Hu who saved your life, and now you have his blood flowing in your body, don't forget him when you return to the United States............." ”

The big man Lao Hu was embarrassed by what the thin man said, and hurriedly pushed him with his elbow and said: "Mr. Jones, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, the credit is not mine, and the Oriental beauty Miss Xia Xinyu who operated on you, if it weren't for her helping you take out the shrapnel in your stomach, just with the little blood I lost to you, you wouldn't have survived, we people only ask for help, never want to reciprocate, okay, it's okay now, let's go over and have a few drinks of celebration bar ............!" ”

Jones, who was lying on the bed, smiled with relief on his face, nodded and said, "No problem............ ”

At noon the next day, Xu Jiandong called everyone in front of him to discuss the next plan of action.

Xu Jiandong looked at the people in front of him, and said with a solemn expression: "Comrades, we will continue to search this castle in the next step, I think these pirates are not so simple, far from the land, build the castle here, what is the secret behind the big iron gate next to it?" Is it the road to the beach or is it used somewhere else? We must take a look and check it out............! ”

Jones then took over and said, "Mr. Xu is right, we should indeed open the iron gate and take a look, I think there must be some great secret hidden behind the iron gate, because these pirates will never let us go near the iron gate whenever the wind blows." ”

He paused for a moment and then said, "Also, where are those kidnapped American scientists being held?" What are these pirates doing to them, we must find out. ”

The thin man said, "I think these guys might be making drugs here, right?" Or produce something like a nuclear weapon, an atomic bomb, and so on, if that's the case, we just give it a whole pot, so as not to endanger the world's Cangsheng! ”

The big man listened to the thin man's words, and said: "Now none of us should guess here, before we see things, everything is unknown, maybe nothing, just a bunch of ordinary pirates, even if there are warehouses and the like, they are also used to store the stolen gold, silver, jewelry, dollar bills and so on, with their talented guy's IQ, I don't think they will make any earth-shattering achievements......... right!" ”

After listening to the words of the big man Hu, Jones waved his hand and continued: "Mr. Hu, what you said is not right, there is an old Chinese saying that people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, so Mr. Hu, I have a hunch that they will definitely not be able to do anything good here, and I think we should still search ............." ”

Xu Jiandong nodded after hearing this, and said: "Yes, what Mr. Jones said is right, I also think that there must be some secrets hidden in this castle, and the most important thing is that there are so many dead people here, and there is no such a big pit to bury for a while, and the corpses are exposed to high temperatures for a long time, which can easily cause plague and disease, and the air is not good, so while everyone is searching here, the main thing is to find a way to escape............ ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "We will set off in an hour, these women will be left in the castle, they are not safe to follow us, and we can't take care of them, let's stay here for the time being, just take care of everyone's food, leave four people with good marksmanship as sentries and snipers in the four corners of the city wall, and a few more people who can use heavy machine guns on the south side of the city wall, Mr. Jones, you and these people will also stay in the castle, and you also need a commander here, The rest of the people all followed me. ”

After hearing this, Jones hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you listen to me, I think you should take me with you, why don't you let me go with you............?" ”

"Listen, Mr. Jones, one of the reasons why I didn't take you there, you have injuries on your body now, and you have undergone surgery, so it is not easy to do intense exercise, and the cut that has just been sewn is easily torn; Second, some of the people left here still need to have someone in charge and command, and I think only you are the most suitable person............. ”

Jones heard that Xu Jiandong was right, so he reminded him and said, "Okay, but Mr. Xu, I have to remind you first, these pirates are very fierce and cunning, you should be more careful." ”

Xu Jiandong shook Jones' hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Jones, you are the same, take care!" Waiting for us to come back and pick you up .......... ”

After Xu Jiandong and Jones finished saying these words, they turned to the rest of the people present and said, "Now everyone go to the arsenal in the castle to replenish the ammunition, and meet here in half an hour, now act immediately!" ”

For the sake of safety, Xu Jiandong asked Xinyu and Xiaoting to wear bulletproof vests, because bullets don't have eyes, and they won't go around the bend and not shoot you because you are a beautiful woman.

Although it was uncomfortable for two people to wear a bulletproof vest with a hard board, it was better than being shot.

Everyone was ready to stop.

Xu Jiandong, the big man Lao Hu and the thin man were the first to open the way, and several people with light machine guns and M203 grenade launchers were broken behind.

Next to this large iron door was a large blue-gray square iron box, which seemed to contain some kind of switch or something.

Xu Jiandong stepped forward and opened the lock on it, but saw that there were two buttons the size of a one-yuan coin inside, one red and the other green.

The thin man looked at the two twists and asked, "Brother Xu, what color do you like?" I prefer green because it represents life, vitality and survival. ”

The big man Lao Hu listened to it next to him and praised him: "I said okay, Brother Qiangzi, your cultural level has improved unconsciously, and you can still say so many terms, it's really a matter of impressing every other day." ”

Xu Jiandong smiled when he heard this, but put his hand on the red button.

Seeing this, the thin man said loudly: "Hey! Brother Xu! Don't press this, this is a fucking alarm! ”

But it was too late to speak, and Xu Jiandong's hand had already pressed the big red button.

When everyone heard the thin man's shout, they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

However, after Xu Jiandong pressed the button, there was no movement after waiting for a few seconds, and the thin man and the big man Lao Hu and the others all looked at each other, puzzled.

Xu Jiandong turned his head to look at the people behind him, and said with a smile: "In fact, these two buttons are not alarms, but the switches that control this iron door, what does it matter if they are real alarms, these pirates have now been wiped out by us, can the pirates who were killed by us still get up and kill people............ After saying that, he pressed the green button on the right.

The thin man smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the pirates who will be killed here, but I'm afraid that the sirens will attract their reinforcements, and then it will be very troublesome......... ”

After Xu Jiandong heard this, he also felt that the thin man's idea was possible, so he smiled and stopped talking.

Because he knew that the sound of the sirens could be heard far away, even from a distance of several kilometers, and if there were really pirates nearby, they might really come to attack the city.

As soon as the button was pressed, a green light on the wall began to rotate and flicker, and the iron door slowly opened to the side.

Seeing this, Xu Jiandong and the others hurriedly flashed to the side of the door, if they didn't do this, if there were pirates standing behind the door with submachine guns and a bullet coming over, these twenty or so people would all have to lie down.

The thin man poked his head out carefully, his whole body still hiding behind the door, maintaining a posture of rapid retreat.

It turned out that outside the door was a large cement platform made of more than 200 square meters, and on top of the platform were arranged four circular manhole covers with a diameter of three meters, and there were several very thin and tall antennas not far from it.

On the north side of the large concrete platform is a low-rise concrete building like a bunker, which sits like a bunker and a fortification.

Not far behind this bunker-like fortification is a forest more than ten meters high.

On the northeast side of the large platform, that is, behind the castle, there is also a row of tall trees, no wonder the thin man and the others did not see the situation behind the castle on the city wall, perhaps this is because the pirates deliberately planted these trees to hide people's eyes.

Behind this row of trees is a large rectangular pool of cement, about 6 meters long and 3 meters wide, covered with long prefabricated slabs made of cement, and near the east side there is an iron hand wheel with a ring, which is obviously used to open it, and what appears to be a sealed thing below.

Leaning on the south side of the large pool, four iron pipes with a diameter of about ten centimeters protruded from the pool, each of which was equipped with a valve and a meter to show the pressure, and these iron pipes made a ninety degree bend at a height of half a meter above the ground, and went directly into the castle wall.

Two other things on top of the pool, which looked like regulators for pressure cookers, poked their heads out and stood on top of the four cement covers.

After reading it, the thin man asked Xu Jiandong, "Brother Xu, what are these things?" How is it a bit like the valve of a pressure cooker............? ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiandong stepped forward and looked down, and then said, "You're right, this is indeed a valve that regulates the air pressure inside......... The principle is similar to that of a pressure cooker, but when it appears here, it will definitely not be as simple as a pressure cooker............ ”

After a pause, he continued, "Stay away from these valves, don't come here, don't you smell a special smell............ ”

The big man Lao Hu sniffed with his nose, and suddenly came to his senses and said: "Lao Xu, don't say it, after you reminded me like this, I really smell something, it's quite stinky, I think this may be the poop that these pirates have been pooping in the past few years............!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xinyu and Xiaoting hurriedly covered their mouths and noses tightly with their hands, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The thin man smiled and said, "Pull it down, old Hu, have you ever seen this kind of fully enclosed urinal............?" ”

Xu Jiandong suddenly came to his senses at this time and said: "I understand, this is not a urinal, it is a pool used by these pirates to collect biogas, haven't you noticed, their kitchen uses a fire source such as a liquefier, I think the gas in this pool is the biogas used in their daily life............." ”

The big man Lao Hu also suddenly said at this moment: "By the way, Lao Xu, there is this kind of artificial biogas pond in our hometown, but it doesn't look as good as this, this big biogas pond is too exquisite............!" ”

Xu Jiandong suddenly said: "The biogas digester must be regularly filled with corrosive things to ensure the production of biogas, such as animal carcasses, feces, etc., in addition, there may be the corpses of those prisoners who were killed, and there may be ............ in it." ”
