Chapter 12: A New Stronghold in Montana (Part II)
Autumn in Montana is the best time of the year, and the scenery is simply breathtaking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The clear and cloudless sky resembles an endless calm blue sea, and the wild flowers of all colors can be seen everywhere in the mountains and fields, swaying their plump branches, like a fluctuating beautiful music, dancing gently with the breeze. Ancient trees with well-developed root systems stand in the foothills and canyons, and their huge roots are like dragons entangled, which is breathtakingly huge. The healthy and lush foliage stretches out to the sky, densely connected into a huge canopy, making it difficult for even the most scorching sunlight to penetrate. If it is in a big city, it will definitely become a good place for many people to have a picnic in their spare time.
Wang Qiu and his entourage walked in a majestic and dreamlike natural scenery. It is surrounded by pure natural jungle and dry meadows piled with fallen leaves. There is also a small clear river flowing next to it. Since it is still the dry season, the river is very shallow, and the pebbles that were originally under the riverbed form shallows on both sides of the river. Although the river is not as abundant as in the rainy season, there are still many fish frolicking in it.
After a long absence, the crowd could not help but look at it with great greed, and could not help but take off their boots, pull up their trouser legs, and pick up a simple harpoon made of wooden sticks, trying to go down to the river to catch a fish or two to make a tooth sacrifice.
However, although Wang Qiu was very energetic in the novelty of stabbing fish, it was a pity that the technique was really not good, and instead of hitting half of the target, he scared away many fish, which was criticized by others, and was finally sent to the shore to collect dead branches and make fires.
When Wang Qiu finally raised the bonfire, the others also came back from the water, with a few dark brown fish stuck in their harpoons. The flat body, dark brown scales, and the distinctive tail and spots that are the most distinctive features.
“…… The legendary all-natural wild North American trout! It's the first time I've tasted it in my life. There are no good fish in Afghanistan! ”
Uncle Chen Ping, a retired U.S. soldier, said with a smile as he placed the cleaned trout on a makeshift grill made of Y-shaped wooden sticks and sprinkled with spices mixed with basil, pepper and cumin. So, in the sound of the fire, a rich aroma quickly wafted into Wang Qiu's nose, tempting him to move his index finger, just waiting for the roast, he couldn't wait to grab a fish over, and then found a clean stone to sit down, and raised the grilled fish to his eyes. I saw that the brown scales had all fallen off during the roasting process, revealing the skin of the fish underneath that had been roasted until golden brown. And the oil bubbles are still bursting out from under the burnt yellow fish skin, making a "poof" sound. The edges are charred and the skin is curled up, revealing the juicy white flesh through the cracks.
Such a delicious food with full color and flavor strongly seduced Wang Qiu's taste buds, and he didn't care whether it would be burned at all, so he opened his mouth to the maximum in the most fishy parts and took a bite. The next moment is accompanied by the heat, and the first thing you feel is the sensation of hot fat irritating the tongue, followed by the crunchy, spicy skin, and finally the tender, smooth and elastic flesh. The moment it touched the tongue, the flesh spread out as if it had melted, and it slid down the throat and into the stomach without chewing at all.
In short, everyone is full of praise for the wild trout produced here.
“…… I have never tasted such delicious food several times in my life...... Even if it is only cooked in the simplest way, the taste is so delicious......" The female man Tang Marie said with a happy face holding her cheek with one hand, as if she had the heart of a literary and artistic young man under her rugged appearance.
“…… This is the real green food...... In China, I am afraid that it is only available in five-star hotels, and most of them are counterfeits. ”
Wang Qiu echoed the same words, and at the same time turned another grilled fish into the remains of only the head, tail and skeleton.
“…… It seems that this place is indeed good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are no people. Didn't you say you were going to build a sanatorium here? ”
Chen Ping put down the wooden stick with the fish bone inserted and wiped his mouth, "...... How about adding a forest camping service? I can be a tour guide! ”
-- Among the large number of "22nd century black technology props" purchased from the world of "Doraemon", the most sought after by the modern Chinese government are naturally those medical props that can treat terminal diseases. After all, life is priceless, and the more powerful the old man, the more he will spare his life. But the problem is that these props are not so much high-tech products as they are unscientific products made with alchemy, which simply do not work in the real world and can only be used in the story world. The same goes for items that are used for medical purposes, such as the [Automatic Medical Kit].
Although several cross-time and space sanatoriums have been opened in Hainan Island and Australia at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the black technology props of the robot cat world have been used to cure millions of terminally ill patients in modern China. But the problem is that, given China's huge population, this number is still a drop in the ocean. Not to mention that for diplomatic and political considerations, the central government also plans to admit some foreign terminally ill patients in order to ease international pressure. In addition, there are some people who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, leukemia or AIDS until recently, and have not caught up with the previous opportunity...... At present, there are still a large number of terminally ill patients who are either in high positions, or have a lot of money, or have a good reputation, waiting to be saved by these props.
Therefore, when Wang Qiu and they initially gained a foothold in the Marvel world, they couldn't wait to urge China to open a cross-time sanatorium again.
And this is also the reason why Wang Qiu and others chose to settle in a desolate border area like Montana -- in those densely populated and prosperous big cities, if a large group of black households without passports suddenly appears, it is definitely a very conspicuous thing, and if the police are targeted by something, it can be seen that it will be a big trouble.
In addition, in this Marvel world where gods and demons are everywhere and there are as many superhumans as dogs, Wang Qiu can't guarantee that his behavior of opening the cross-time passage will cause any fluctuations or signs that he doesn't know about, and then let the precision instruments of some super scientists or the talent of superheroes be detected. Just in case, it's safer to place temporary strongholds and space-time passages in the wilderness.
On the other hand, for the preparation of a cross-time sanatorium in the United States in the Marvel world, Tang Mary and Chen Ping, the two objects waiting for rescue, are also quite positive. Because according to the general idea, the guys who can get through the relationship of the state secret department and come to the other world for treatment of terminal diseases are usually either rich or famous. If Tang Mary and Chen Ping can take this opportunity to have more contact with them and accumulate some contacts and relationships, then after returning to the real world, they will be tantamount to harvesting a lot of intangible wealth.
However, for Chen Ping's voluntary suggestion, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo shook their heads regretfully after exchanging glances, "...... I'm afraid not, and while patients who book to receive a reception will love the view and fresh air, we can't risk any leaks. ”
“…… Leaked messages? How so? Do you see what's going on around here? Don Mary shrugged her shoulders and said disapprerovingly.
“…… It's just what it seems. Wang Qiu replied, "...... But in fact, everything we do here will be captured and photographed by satellites everywhere in the sky at any time! It's just that it hasn't been paid attention to by any relevant departments for the time being. ”
“…… It is precisely because this place is usually deserted, so as long as there is a sign of a large number of people gathering here, and then it is discovered by satellites, then it will immediately attract the attention of the relevant departments. In the slums of Chicago and New York, it is not uncommon for a few thousand people to gather at random, but in the mountains and forests of Montana, when a few hundred people suddenly gather together, it is immediately clear that something is wrong with this place. ”
Professor Kwok added, "...... Even if this little thing doesn't alarm S.H.I.E.L.D., those pervasive federal tax departments may think that we are illegally organizing tours and opening resorts. Then come a few groups of people to check, and in the end, even if nothing is found, most of the two of you will be blacklisted, and then it will be difficult to do whatever you want. ”
“…… Well, according to you, for the time being, confidentiality should indeed be the first priority. Cancel the field activities! ”
Chen Ping was silent for a while, and had to admit the reality angrily, "...... Anyway, they can travel to North America in the world over there...... However, even then, you have to arrange accommodation, right? The dilapidated house on the farm, which was as small as a public toilet, could not accommodate a few people! ”
“…… That's right! Whether you set up a tent or build a house, you can't escape satellite reconnaissance! Don Mary shrugged.
“…… It's very simple, at this time, we have to learn like Japanese tokusatsu films and high school students to save the world, and get a completely hidden underground secret base out! Wang Qiu replied with a confident smile, "...... Also, I have a thing in my hand that is suitable for building an underground base......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In short, using another black technology prop [Explosive Basement] from the Doraemon world, Wang Qiu successfully created an underground space comparable to a parking lot ten meters below this abandoned farm in Montana, far away from people.
Next, the base's daily lighting source uses a glowing moss from the Doraemon world; As for the power to power other equipment, it relies on miniature oil-fired generators brought from the modern world, which could have been used in the civilian version of the Small Ark reactor obtained from the Stark Corporation building during the Great War in New York. However, after Wang Qiu returned to the "Otherworldly Operations Command Center" in Beidaihe in the modern world with the smallest civilian version of the Ark reactor, and after experts confirmed that this thing could also operate normally in the world here, all the Ark reactors in Wang Qiu's hands were ordered to be handed over. But fortunately, fuel can be called from the world over there, and there is no shortage of supplies.
Then, the Marvel World's Space-Spanning Sanatorium opened in this king-sized underground cavern. Of course, the environmental conditions here are far inferior to those of the Sanya Tropical Seaview Sanatorium and the Australian Desert Style Resort in the late Ming Dynasty, and the patients and staff who come to treat them can only stay in the underground space, and are not even allowed to breathe fresh air on the surface. However, under the pressure of the relevant departments, no one dared to blow up the stab.
Anyway, for the patient, the accommodation conditions of the hospital are secondary, as long as the disease can be cured, it doesn't matter if you live in a pigsty.
Only Wang Qiu and his team could use the excuse of "carrying out reconnaissance missions" to go around the nearby mountains or towns from time to time.
At the same time, Tang Mary and Chen Ping continued to grow vegetables and herd sheep in a small tin house on the surface of the ground, as a cover-up - nominally, the farm was the property purchased by the female veteran Tang Mary with her savings, while Chen Ping came to work as a hired hand for her old comrades-in-arms after going bankrupt......
I have to admit that the desolation of this land is indeed comparable to that of Tibet, China, and they have settled down on this farm for several months, not to mention the neighbors or the patrolling police, and even half of the backpackers who travel around - it is said that the scenery here is not very good, and tourists have visited several famous scenic spots in the distance. It was a time of almost isolation.
In this way, time flies, and it doesn't take long for a cold snap from the Arctic Ocean to sweep through the mountains, making people feel the coming of winter.
