Chapter 16: The Surrounded Mountain
The armored off-road vehicle drove all the way unimpeded, passing through three checkpoints in ten minutes and reaching the old town of Yushan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After getting out of the car, Mr. Wu deliberately guided Fang Bai on the tour, and the two walked through the main road of the town.
There is no longer a plate processing industrial base here, and there are fountains, gardens, schools, hospitals, restaurants, supermarkets, and ...... A new style of buildings, a brand new residential buildings. The people on the streets come and go, but most of them have the same temperament - the temperament of a scholar.
Fang Bai instantly understood that this was a research base, a science city that had never been open to the public!
But it's also a little too weird. The secrecy here is much less than many of the legendary secret bases, and the location is quite odd!
Why not choose a sparsely populated place, prefer to build such a base in the densely populated city in the east, and even deliberately relocate a small town!
Fang Bai looked at Yujin Mountain, which was not far away. It is lush and green, with several peaks and winding hills. At the foot of the mountain, there used to be a small village called "Yamamae", but it no longer exists.
"What's the name of this place? Surely it won't be called Yushan Town, right? ā
Mr. Wu was a little surprised by this question, and thought about it for a few seconds before answering: "The official name is a numeric numbered base, but everyone usually calls this mountain front base. ā
"Mountain front base." Fang Bai repeated one side, "...... in front of the mountain"
"That's right," Mr. Wu nodded, "and a memorial to the devoured village." ā
"Do you mean a landslide?"
Mr. Wu glanced at Fang Bai meaningfully, "They know this question better. ā
The two walked silently for a long time, and finally reached the edge of the town, very close to the foot of the mountain.
There is a 20-meter-high concrete separation wall. Looking at both ends of the wall, there is no end in sight. Could it be that the whole mountain is sealed inside?
There is a metal door in the wall that allows only one person to pass through. There is a tall watchtower next to the gate. Mr. Wu showed a paper document to the soldiers on duty at the bottom of the tower.
The warrior double-checked the stamp, returned the document suspiciously, and entered the code on the touchscreen on the wall.
The small metal door slowly retracted into the ground. Only then did it become clear that not only was the door one meter thick, but the thickness of the blockade wall was also extremely amazing.
Behind the door is a dark corridor. When the door was completely sunk to the ground, Mr. Wu made a "please" gesture.
"Mr. Fang, it's their territory, I'll send you here."
Fang Bai walked through the door with doubts and uneasiness. The sunken door behind him did not rise, but another door fell rapidly, as if the iron gate of an ancient city had been lowered.
With a "bang", the corridor closed again and plunged into complete darkness.
Before Fang Bai could panic, the LED lights on both sides of the corridor lit up.
Clean and sci-fi is his first impression.
Fang Bai then realized that the road was more than twenty meters long.
Twenty meters wide walls? What is the government afraid of to build such a Great Wall!
He walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a door that was also closed.
There is an LCD screen on the right wall. The screen shows "00:00:51" and the number continues to decrease by second.
Fang Bai looked back at the door, and it was the same display screen.
It seems that the security guards are very attentive - no matter how you enter or exit, you have to wait in the corridor for a minute countdown.
The clock zeroed, the metal door began to fall, and the summer light shone into the corridor, which was a little dazzling.
Striding out, there is a large wasteland.
Dirt, tall grass, scattered concrete blocks, abandoned armored vehicles, tanks and all sorts of junk debris, as well as ...... Four high walls.
Is it Urn City?
Fang Bai frowned imperceptibly.
He approached a tank and found that the barrel had been cut in half, and the cut was smooth. The tracks were also cut off by cold weapons, and there was a distinctly continuous cut mark on one side of the five pairs of load-bearing wheels.
Looking at the armored car next to it, the hull was cut in two, completely split from the middle. The two wrecks had rusted to the point of inadequacy. Fang Bai dug in his backpack for a long time, found an iron abrasive cloth, and rubbed it on the metal cut surface a few times, revealing his true face. Under the rust, smooth as a mirror.
There were a lot of shells, bullet casings, and a few discarded rifles on the ground, all of which had been cut into pieces.
Fang Bai pondered and continued to explore.
There is no way to the left and right, so you can only move forward. There are the same thick walls and metal gates.
Before Fang Bai could get closer, the door opened, and the lights in the corridor turned on.
This time it felt completely different. The ground, two walls, and the top of the head are covered with graffiti, and most of them are cartoon characters and various beauties with long breasts and thighs, as well as many cartoons and satirical slogans of political figures. Cigarette butts, snack bags, drink bottles, and a few used condoms were strewn across the floor.
Fang Bai spent five minutes carefully reading all the graffiti before coming to the exit.
The door of a common wooden house in ordinary homes was closed, and the door was painted with varnish, and I don't know which ghost pasted a big red "Fu" character.
Fang Bai held the handle and turned it gently, and with a "click", the lock opened.
Pushing the door out, the cicada chirped into his ears.
"Know-know--" hoarsely.
Looking up, Yujin Mountain is in front of you. Less than 200 meters above sea level, it is awe-inspiring.
He had just taken two steps and there was no way under his feet.
Although it is still flat, a few hundred meters from the hillside, there are bushes nearby, strange rocks and trees in the distance, and there is no sign of human activity.
Fang Bai took out his phone and entered the task mode.
No message, no mail.
He took out the military binoculars he bought online and observed the movement of the mountain.
Where is the former mountain front village?
Can't find it.
There was a sound in the grass in front of him, and a few seconds later, a gray-black rabbit poked its head out.
No, rabbits don't have that long black hair on their ears.
The furry little creature emerged from the grass, revealing its long, lithe torso and long, thick tail.
It turned out to be a squirrel.
Fang Bai squatted down to tease him, but the squirrel stood upright, revealing his small white belly, and held a hazelnut in his front pawls.
"Give it to me?"
The squirrel handed the saliva hazelnut forward, making a birdsong as loud as a birdsong.
Fang Bai pinched the hazelnuts and found that the cracks of the nuts were very small, and it was not easy to peel the shells. He got up and went back to the hallway, picked up the pull ring of a can, cut it into the crack with a sharp piece of metal, and twisted it, and the hazelnut opened.
As he did this, the squirrel followed him at his feet, not leaving an inch, hissing from time to time.
The hazelnuts come out of the shell and give off a sweet taste. The squirrel smelled it and immediately hugged Fang Bai's calf and climbed up. Fang Bai hurriedly returned the nuts to this clever little animal.
The squirrel squeaked and gnawed on the fruit, and it didn't take long to finish it. It licked its paws, brushed the fur off its face, and turned to run.
Fang Baile was happy. This little one has no conscience!
The squirrel ran out of a dozen meters and ran up to a low tree. It stopped on the branches, turned its head and barked twice at Fang Bai.
"Call me?" Fang Bai shouted to the squirrel.
The squirrel croaked again.
"Just call me right." Fang Bai took out the combination of batons, pulled out the narrow stick knife, slashed at the grass and trees in front of him, and walked towards the squirrel with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
On this mission, in order to bring the steel baton purchased online to the high-speed rail, he had to spend a small amount of money to avoid the security check. When you come to Yujin Mountain to explore, you naturally have to carry weapons with you.
As soon as Fang Bai arrived under the tree, the squirrel jumped more than ten meters away along the crossed branches, and turned his head again to tell him to follow.
Fang Bai sighed, "Okay, isn't it just following the squirrel, I'll follow." ā
He wasn't in a moment's stupor.
Naturally-growing hazelnuts only ripen in September, and wild squirrels don't have that for them. This little creature must be raised. If you follow it, you will most likely find the owner.
A man and a rat trekked down the mountain for more than ten minutes, and finally came to a higher open field.
More than 1,000 acres of land are neatly arranged, and only one kind of grass grows, the root of the dog's teeth. The lawn is beautifully manicured and should be taken care of.
Historically, Yujin Mountain is known as "the poor mountains and bad waters out of the people", how can there be such a good land! The squirrel led Fang Bai away for a few more minutes, but disappeared.
He saw a shiny ground a few paces away, and when he got closer, it was not the ground, but a stele with a diamond-like sheen. The tungsten gold surface, which is less than half a meter long and wide, reflects the blue sky and white clouds.
Unlike most erected monuments, this one lies flat and embedded in the earth. The monument rises only five or six centimeters above the ground, as high as a manicured lawn.
The main body of the inscription is a number - 413. There is a small line underneath: Always remember the village in front of the mountain, 1987.
