Chapter 4 (II) The Factory in the Canyon

Towards the south mountain range, there was no artillery fire, it was surprisingly quiet, looking up at the sky, the night sky was full of stars, except for Gu Huaiyi, Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng were the first to see this kind of scenery, and they couldn't help but stop and watch it several times, and were urged by Gu Huaiyi to leave quickly.

"It's getting dawn." Ji Kefeng looked at the sky, "We can't go any further, this area is easy to find during the day, let's find a place to rest, eat, and wait until after night before moving forward, what do you think?" ”

"Yes." Tang Shu tortured the way.

Gu Huaiyi smiled and said, "I listen to Lord Controller." ”

Ji Kefeng didn't answer the question, found a rock on the slope of the hillside, and the three of them took turns to rest on duty, and finally got into the night again.

After nightfall, the three of them continued to set off, but from the daytime observation, they could no longer move along the mountain range, they could only enter the canyon below, because the surrounding mountains were too high and dangerous, although the equipment they carried with them was complete, but if they encountered danger, it was still not enough to save themselves, so they could only risk shuttling through the canyon below.

"This is a conflict zone, I'm worried about what if I encounter the Indian ** team, and I don't say it, and I encounter the Ba ** team?" Tang Shuxing said as he walked, "We can't fire at them with the orders of the secret envoys. ”

"Even if you don't have an order from the secret envoy, would you have opened fire on them?" Ji Kefeng said with a smile.

Tang Shuxing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, except for self-preservation, their lives are their lives, and their own is not." ”

"Shhhh ”

"What's wrong?" Tang Shu asked, and also touched it with his hand.

Gu Huaiyi turned around: "Your arm is waving too much, you have to slowly test up and down, this is the canyon." The shuttling wind should have hit, but the shuttling wind here is scattered, and the time of each wind is inconsistent. ”

"That means there's something up ahead, a big rock or something." Ji Kefeng put on a night vision device. Looking ahead, he had seen it with night vision binoculars before, but he hadn't found anything.

"Nope." Gu Huaiyi also put on a night vision device, "It's not as simple as a large object, there is a gas in the air, and the smell of coal burning, like a factory here." ”

Tang Shuxing adjusted the night vision device: "What is it?" Factory? This place? Are you kidding? This is a conflict zone, and it is not clear whose territory it is, today it is controlled by Pakistan, and tomorrow it is controlled by India. Isn't building a factory here to make wedding dresses for others? ”

"Don't say it, just go and see." Ji Kefeng walked forward, "You have to go through the canyon anyway." ”

The three of them walked in a triangular formation towards the front of the canyon, while going deeper into the canyon. I didn't notice that the starry sky overhead had been shrouded in a half-thick black smoke, which had become faint and no longer clearly visible.

Entering the center of the canyon, the three of them found a pile of stones blocking the canyon, although the stones felt tightly on the surface, but they could still be clearly identified when they looked up at the left and right sides. It was dynamite that collapsed and was deliberately used to block the entrance to this canyon.

"It looks like we have to turn it over." Tang Shuxing paced left and right, looked up, and found that it was very difficult to turn over, who knew that after walking two laps, he suddenly tripped over something. Directly planted headlong, Gu Huaiyi's eyes were quick and he held it up.

"You've been drinking?" Gu Huaiyi shook his head, "It's not like walking so slowly and wrestling, right?" ”

Tang Shuxing nudged Gu Huaiyi away, and immediately went to look at what tripped over him. Looking through the night vision device, they found that it was an iron thing, reached out and touched it, dug down again, found that it was wrong, continued to dig deeper, and called the other two to help, and after digging the place completely, the three found that it was a section of railroad track that had not been paved.

"Rails?" Gu Huaiyi touched it carefully with his hand, "There is no rust, in this kind of alpine mountainous area, the rails are not rusty, which means that the laying time is not long?" ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Shuxing pointed to the sleeper road below, "Sleepers are divided into several types, wood, reinforced concrete, steel, composite materials, modern sleepers laid in the alpine zone, it is absolutely impossible to use wood, because it is too easy to decay, most of them are made of reinforced concrete." ”

Ji Kefeng nodded and touched the pillow: "The pillow here is wooden, and there are a lot of naturally formed lines on it, which means that it has been laid here for many years, and it can not be formed in a while." ”

"In other words, this section of the track has been laid for many years? Didn't you make it now? Gu Huaiyi looked up at the blocked stones, "Climb!" ”

The three of them took out their tools and began to climb upwards, and after climbing for a while, they finally climbed to the top, and then looked down carefully, and found that there was really a factory below, not to mention chimneys, some refining equipment, and more importantly, in the center of the factory, there was also a freight station, where an old steam locomotive was parked, and two freight cars.

"There really are factories and trains." Tang Shuxing squatted down, "How can there be such a thing?" ”

"There is no obvious marking." Ji Kefeng observed carefully, "I didn't see any photos or warning signs or anything, and the surroundings were very messy, it seemed that the workers here were in a hurry." ”

"Let's go down and have a look." Gu Huaiyi grabbed the rope and slipped down, and as soon as he landed, he stepped on something under his feet, and immediately leaned over to pick it up and found that it was a part.

Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng also slipped down, and Ji Kefeng stepped forward and asked, "What is it?" ”

"I don't know, it's like what kind of part." Gu Huaiyi shook his head.

Tang Shuxing stretched out his hand and took it, looked at it carefully, and said for a long time: "It's the magnetic head, the magnetic head of the old-fashioned cassette recorder, I have seen such a thing in the so-called antique market, it should be in the old-fashioned tape recorder in the seventies and eighties." ”

"Seventy or eighties?" Ji Kefeng looked carefully.

Tang Shuxing threw down the thing, pointed to the factory house next to it and said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

The three of them walked towards the factory, and when they reached the door, they found that the gate was sealed with wood and welded with steel outside, and it seemed that someone did not want anyone to enter the factory.

The three of them walked around the factory separately, and found that both the large and small doors and the windows were sealed, and there was only one factory, and the other side of the freight station should be where the workers lived, which could be seen.

Standing there, Tang Shuxing could imagine that every morning after the whistle sounded, the workers entered the factory from the dormitory to work, and then crossed the railroad tracks after work, and went home one after another, washing away the fatigue of the day, closing their eyes and falling asleep.

"I'd like to go in and have a look." Gu Huaiyi pulled out the yin bee and began to carefully pry the wooden plank outside, hoping to make a gap and go in to see what was inside.

"I'll go and have a look on the other side." Ji Kefeng is interested in the workers' dormitory, because as long as he finds out who works here, he will also find out what is going on here from the side.

"I-" Tang Shuxing saw that the two had the intention of separating, so he had to stand in place, and then turned his head to see the locomotive, "I'll go to the train and take a look, maybe I can find some clues." ”

The three of them acted separately, Tang Shuxing walked towards the position of the front of the train, and found a lot of things left behind along the way, which seemed to be left behind when the workers evacuated, many of them were clothes, and some simple daily necessities, among which there seemed to be banknotes.

Tang Shuxing leaned over and looked carefully, took out half a banknote from a pile of debris, looked at it carefully with a night vision device, and found that it was half a ruble, and it was also a ruble from the former Soviet Union, because the back of the banknote was a portrait of Lenin, and then he also found scattered coins, which were also five-pointed star coins from the former Soviet Union.

"Damn it, how can it be Soviet?" Tang Shuxing looked around, "What's wrong with this world?" In any era, if there is anything weird and weird, it is not about the Americans, or the Soviets, and how much of what happened during the Cold War is unknown to the world. ”

Tang Shuxing picked up the currency and walked towards the locomotive, thinking that this group of people was in such a hurry that they even scattered the money all over the ground, it seems that the Soviets should be working here, otherwise, in the border between India and Pakistan, holding the ruble has a fart effect?

Tang Shuxing was stunned when he climbed on the locomotive, immediately came down, walked to the tracks, looked carefully beside it, and found that there was only one track, and turned to look at the locomotive, and suddenly felt suspicious - the workers here must have taken a train when they left here, and the number of people could not fit in two freight cars, but now there are only two freight cars here, not to mention, the locomotive has also returned. In other words, either the train pulled the people away and came back, or there were two trains, one in front and one in the back, and the first one pulled the people away, and the latter never left.

But it is unlikely that two trains will be stopped at the same time, which means that the train will come back after pulling people, but why should they come back?

Right! Look what's in the carriage! Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing immediately ran to the location of the freight car, but went outside the car and found that there were no doors, no windows, and no entrances and exits.

"It's weird." Tang Shuxing walked around, "What are you pulling?" How come there is no entrance? Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing simply climbed onto the locomotive, and then looked down and found that there were things like low chimneys standing up on top of the freight carriages.

Tang Shuxing turned his head to look at the chimney of the locomotive, and then looked at the chimney of the freight car, a little confused, there is a chimney in the front of the locomotive, where is there a chimney in the carriage!?

"Punishment two! Come to the dormitory! Fast! Ji Kefeng's urgent shout suddenly came from the intercom.

Just as Tang Shuxing was about to go over, he heard Gu Huaiyi shouting from there: "Hurry up and come to the factory to have a look." ”

Tang Shuxing didn't know which side to go for a while, and at this moment, he suddenly felt very hot, and the heat was emitted from the freight car, and at the same time, bursts of black smoke came out of the low chimney at the top of the freight car......
