Chapter 35 (II) The Strange Proving Ground
The Heavy couldn't answer Tang Shuxing's request, from the perspective of human nature, he was indeed willing to do this, but from the perspective of identity and purpose, he couldn't do it, because they only had 5 living people now, and they were carrying a corpse, and they couldn't move dozens of bones at all.
After the machine gunner told Tang Shuxing about the difficulty, Tang Shuxing patted the iron track of the mine below: "There are minecarts, find minecarts to load them and transport them out in batches, and I still suspect that things in this mine are not so simple." β
"Not that simple?" The machine gunner looked at Tang Shuxing, "What do you mean?" β
Tang Shuxing turned around and found something that was not a human bone from behind several skeletons and said, "This is not a human bone, you ask your team doctor to take a closer look, there are many bones here that are not human bones, which means that there are other animals in this mine." β
The Heavy nodded, motioning for the Signal Soldier to take a closer look.
The communications soldier who took the picture began to clean up with the recommended equipment he was carrying, and after nearly half an hour, he told the machine gunner that in addition to the bones of people, there were also the bones of cats, dogs, birds, deer, and even large animals such as bears and tigers, but they were all incomplete.
"This one is the weirdest." The signal soldier led the machine gunner to the corner of the intersection in front of the mine, pointed to a rather strange-looking skeleton there, and said, "This skeleton is a bear's, the body is human, the left and right arms are like a tiger's, and the legs are deer's. β
The Heavy crouched down and looked carefully at where the Signal Soldier was pointing, completely stunned.
Tang Shuxing stood there and watched, looking at the crossroads of the mine, crouching down to examine the footprints and paw prints on the ground that had turned into hard marks decades ago, as well as the bones scattered all over the ground, and carefully examined the three tunnel openings in front of him. Pointing to the hole on the far right, he said: "This should not be the original mine, it was dug later, it is estimated that someone dug it after the mine was abandoned." β
The Heavy got up to inspect and saw that the edge of the tunnel excavation on the right was flat. It should be excavated by some machinery, unlike the other two tunnels that were excavated manually, and the right side of the tunnel is supported by steel frames, unlike other tunnels that are all fixed and supported by iron bars.
"I'm going to go in and have a look." After Tang Shuxing finished speaking, he wanted to move forward, but the machine gunner subconsciously stopped him, and Tang Shuxing grabbed the muzzle of his gun, "You can shoot at me, but I still have to go in and see." β
As he spoke, Tang Shuxing pushed the machine gunner away and headed towards the tunnel with his equipment. The machine gunner, of course, could not shoot. Just let his subordinates temporarily put the body of the sniper Horace on the side of the tunnel, and enter with him close to Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing took the lead, and walked about twenty meters in front of the tunnel, the tunnel gradually widened, and a gate appeared in front of it. The door is not made of metal, but an iron bar nailed into wood, which is supposed to be inconvenient to transport and install in such a narrow place, so this method is used, but on the left and right sides of the door stands signs that read "Standing is prohibited", and large skulls are drawn.
Tang Shuxing walked to the right side of the door, because there was a place where something had smashed a large hole for one person to enter and exit. Judging from the marks left around the hole, there are paw prints and gnawing marks, and it is believed that some kind of large animal broke the door from the inside and got out.
"The one who broke this door should be the four-like monster I saw earlier, right?" Tang Shuxing touched it with his hand, turned around and took his dragon blade from the machine gunner, divided it by two with a sharp dragon blade to expand the hole, and then took out his own glow stick. Break it open and throw it in, get into it, and then pull the incendiary stick to illuminate the surroundings.
The Heavy paused, waited for his men to finish filming with their cameras, and then went inside. As soon as the machine gunner entered, he saw Tang Shuxing standing there, and he immediately stepped forward. After stepping forward, he lit his own burning rod again, expanding the scope of the illumination, and then he was stunned - among them was a cave dug by hand, which was raised more than two meters high up and down, and stretched far inside. On top of that, it's like a slaughterhouse, with countless rusty hooks, some of which still have strange bones hanging from them, some of which have rubber tubes stuck in their mouths.
The cave is seven or eight meters wide and has four-storey wooden shelves on both sides, all of which are filled with glass jars soaked in various internal organs and some strange animals that have not rotted.
Tang Shuxing approached one of the jars, and saw that the snake in it actually had wings, and the snake also had two eagle-like front paws, which looked similar to the dragon in Western mythology and legend, and in the jar on the right turned a human head with round eyes, and the position where the human head and neck were connected were all squid tentacles, I don't know if Tang Shuxing was dazzled or the ground was shaking, Tang Shuxing saw that those tentacles would move from time to time.
"Oh my God, what is this place?" One of the riflemen exclaimed after a moment's inspection.
"It's like what Unit 731 of the Japanese army invaded China did during World War II." Tang Shuxing walked forward.
"I think it's a bit like Frankenstein...... "The Heavy walks slowly with his gun in his hands, gesturing his men to take pictures of the place, "Frankenstein's Frankenstein." β
"No wonder ......" Tang Shuxing thought of the monsters under the water at this time, remembered Gaia's words, looked at the Japanese labels on the pipes around him, and understood that these must be a certain secret department of Japan in the past, which quietly stationed after abandoning Hashima and built a test site here.
Walking further ahead, you will find countless artificially excavated troughs, and at the very bottom of the trough is a pool resembling the cave of Gaia's master. The shape and edges of the waterhole should have been formed naturally, and the cave where the waterhole is located was also naturally formed, but the two sides were inadvertently connected when the experimental cave was excavated.
There are four troughs dug by hand, and a total of five pools. Two of the four are arranged together, and the color of the water is also different, and it looks like a medicine when you smell it carefully.
Tang Shuxing didn't get too close to the sink, but just raised his hand to signal the American soldiers behind him not to move forward, because he found a lot of strange footprints around the sink, like the footprints of birds, very small, you can't see it if you don't look carefully, and there are traces of sharp weapons around the cave.
The machine gunner tried to move forward again, but was pushed back by Tang Shuxing, and said in a low voice: "Don't die!?" β
The Heavy shook his head: "I know. I'm just going to look it down, take a picture, and remember, we're helping each other now. It's not about holding each other back. β
Tang Shuxing nodded, moved out of the way slightly, and let the machine gunner take the camera to shoot, while asking again next to him, "Which unit do you belong to?" Army or Marine? β
The machine gunner still didn't answer, and at this time a rifleman trotted over, holding a notebook with a leather shell in his hand, and handed it over. I knew that the other party wouldn't tell me, so I had to give up.
"What do you think is in this sink?" After the Heavy finished shooting, he began to pull out a probe-like object from his equipment and stick it into the sink, which appeared to be able to peek into the water. And with a camera attached, it seems that it can still shoot.
Tang Shuxing stood aside and shook his head: "I don't know, there can't be anything good anyway." β
"And what about the things that chased you in the dungeon before? Is it a ghost? The Heavy had actually wanted to ask this question all along, and at the same time thought that Tang Shuxing knew what was going on, after all, he had seen Tang Shuxing deal with it with the weapon and grenade in his hand.
Of course, Tang Shuxing would not say: "I don't know." β
The Heavy turned his head to look at his men who were busy with other things in the cave behind him, and felt out the confiscated two stones of Tang Shuxing. Q: "What about this?" β
"Specimens." Tang Shuxing smiled, "I'm a natural scientist. β
"Okay!" The Heavy laughed as well, then took out the basalt and placed it on top of the sink, gesturing to throw it down, and asked. "You still don't say?"
Tang Shuxing just laughed: "I'm really a natural scientist, that's really a specimen." When he said this, Tang Shuxing deliberately looked at the other stone in the machine gunner's hand a little nervously, the quadrangular stone he deliberately picked up, which was used to distract the attention of the American army.
Really. The machine gunner was fooled, he saw Tang Shuxing's eyes looking at the quadrangular stone, saw that the basalt was put away, threw the quadrangular stone up and down in his hand, and then pretended to slip down accidentally, Tang Shuxing immediately squatted down to pick it up, deliberately making a nervous appearance.
As soon as the machine gunner grasped the stone, he sneered: "The natural reaction of a person cannot be wrong, what is this quadrangular stone?" β
Tang Shuxing shook his head, and began to make up a story in his mind: "I can't say, I said that they would kill me." β
"Yes, they are!" Tang Shuxing nodded, "I don't know who you work for, but I'm just like you, and I also work for the U.S. government." "Tang Shuxing began to make up lies.
"For whom?" The Heavy frowned and asked in a low voice.
βciaοΌβ Tang Shu told a big lie.
"Huh?" The Heavy pretended to be surprised, "Do you have a code?" Is there a referee? β
Tang Shuxing saw the machine gunner ask like this, and said, "You are also ......."
The machine gunner's acting skills are indeed not as good as Tang Shuxing's, he covered his mouth and pretended to nod his head to indicate that he was also a CIA person, but Tang Shuxing was almost certain that the other party was not, because if he was really engaged in intelligence, it was impossible to easily believe it and not say it, and it was impossible to directly expose his identity.
"My direct upline is Phil. Hample! Tang Shuxing deliberately whispered nervously as he looked out into the cave. He said this, in fact, there was no problem at all, he said that he was in a one-line contact, and Phil. Hampel died again at Gunsan Air Base in South Korea, and now there is no proof of his death.
"Phil. Hample? The Heavy thought carefully in his mind, and it didn't take long for him to remember, but he still tentatively said, "That Colonel?" β
"No, he's an administrative assistant to the Military Intelligence Directorate, and he's actually an interrogator for the CIA and one of the training instructors." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "It's still Jason. Rickman, the nephew of the current CIA director. β
The Heavy nodded, and began to lower Tang Shuxing's suspicions, of course he knew that Phil. These identities of Hample, but these identities are only known to people in the secret department, and Tang Shuxing can say it, which should mean that he is a person related to the CIA.
"It's a pity, Phil. Hampel was injured. "The Heavy is still trying, in fact, he knows that Phil is dead, and he wants to do the final test of Tang Shuxing.
