95. Secret warehouse

What made Zhao Li a little puzzled was that this routine military inspection seemed to be a bit of a fake show. Because not long after receiving the notice, there was a solemn notice from above, saying that a big man was coming.

Big shot? Zhao Li didn't know what was going on. But surely there is a need for a high level of security here. That way, at least no one would suspect that they would send someone out to provoke the guerrillas at such a time.

More than 180 people in good health stood in a neat line on the tarmac of the barracks, watching the hatch of the battleship slowly open. Looking forward to the arrival of the big man whose name is unknown.

A few lean and neat soldiers rushed out of it first, standing in two rows. Judging from their skills, Zhao Li believed that they were all the chief's guards.

The chief who poked his head out again surprised everyone. Although he knew that a big man would come, it was the first time that the commander of the military region personally came forward to such a small and dilapidated barracks.

"Salute!" Zhao Li stood at the front, commanding all the soldiers to salute neatly. General Lucas also returned the salute very majestically.

After an impassioned encouragement and praise for the military discipline here, General Lucas and Zhao Li entered the underground conference room and let everyone stay outside the underground fortifications.

Looking at the two boxes of neat amethysts, even General Lucas, who should be a well-informed military commander, couldn't help but lose his mind for a while. In fact, among the people Zhao Li had seen, except for Old Man Kang, who seemed to be indifferent all the time when he saw this pile of amethyst stones, everyone else had more or less gaffes.

After a long while, General Lucas came to his senses, and the first thing he said was a very stern question: "Why don't you report directly to the military region?" Zhao Li directly found General Thomas, but he, as the commander of the military region, only knew that his subordinates had done such a thing through others, and in any way, there was a reason for him to be unhappy.

"Report to the General!" Zhao Li is still the kind of meticulous military habit, which is his consistent magic weapon for dealing with his superiors: "I don't have the authority to report directly to you, I can only report to my immediate superiors at all levels, and this news is reported according to normal channels, at least through the seventh level or even more departments." The situation here is complicated, and maybe the normal channels have not reached you, and I no longer exist here. ”

Zhao Li is telling the truth, although this marginal planet is the distribution place of the political axe army, it is also a breeding ground for bureaucrats. Here, it is impossible not to have anything to do with the various forces outside. As Zhao Li said, maybe when he reported according to the rules, Zhao Li didn't know how many times he had been betrayed. At that time, not to mention these amethyst stones, it was still a question whether the military camp could exist.

Zhao Li had already thought about this kind of rhetoric, and when Zhao Li finished reporting to General Thomas, Kang Hongyuan asked him such a question. In any case, General Lucas is his direct superior, and it is taboo to bypass his superiors and report to others, whether in the army or in politics. Especially if you want to make a name for yourself here.

General Lucas stared at Zhao Li's eyes to see if he was telling the truth or lying for the sake of perfunctory. stared at it for a while, and the sternness in his eyes slowly eased: "This situation is not caused by a day, you report to me directly in the future, and I will ask the adjutant to give you a secret line." ”

It seems that this problem has been easily revealed, and Zhao Li let out a long breath in his heart. Although his heart was relaxed, he didn't dare to show it.

Leaning down, General Lucas reached out and picked up a square amethyst. Amethyst is very smooth, and it is very comfortable to touch. Knock lightly, and there is a low strange tone.

Listening to this slight stamping sound, neither of them seemed to have any interest in talking.

"Tell me about what it was like." General Lucas personally brought a chair from the corner and sat in front of the amethyst, staring at the two piles of huge money, listening to Zhao Li's report...... Zhao Li didn't dare to follow General Lucas's casualness, stood up straight, and reported the situation at that time. However, the previous Kang Hongyuan's intelligence was not emphasized, but explained by a coincidence.

During the live-fire exercise, he happened to find out about the transactions of these people, so Zhao Li ordered to solve these people easily, and the whole story is like this. Of course, all the details in it were described in great detail, and even the three eighth-level masters did not hide it.

"You mean, a combat cadet who has just graduated from a genius school has solved three eighth-level masters by himself?" After hearing this, Lucas's brows furrowed directly. It seems to be a little surprised, but also a little unconvinced.

Such a small action made Zhao Li find that it seemed that the people in the military were not generally resistant to the genius school, General Thomas was like this, and General Lucas was the same, although it was not ruled out that they were the same faction and had the same idea, but even those prisoners who were in prison before were like this, this is not a factional problem.

Zhao Li didn't dare to say anything more on this issue, but only answered General Lucas's question affirmatively. Maybe General Lucas also felt that there was no need to talk to a small lieutenant about these high-level things, and quietly led the topic to this pile of amethyst.

"You are really bold, when you see that there are not many people, you dare to do it, and you don't understand it clearly, aren't you afraid that people on both sides are legitimate transactions?" With a casual question, General Lucas successfully diverted the topic.

"Report to the General!" Zhao Ligang said this, and General Lucas had already waved his hand: "Don't be so restrained, relax." ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Like was not stupid enough to listen to the wind and rain at this time, and still replied respectfully yes, and then continued to explain: "A normal transaction cannot be carried out by the two sides in such a remote rainforest, and both sides are still armed escorts. ”

The question was only a diversion of the subject, and General Lucas had no intention of delving into it. Besides, no one will be more familiar with this place than him, the commander of the military district. The sneaky deal between the two groups of people, this still needs to be asked, it is by no means a good way.

"It's a pity, it's only amethyst!" From General Lucas's words, his regret is fully reflected. Zhao Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If there are other things, the arms are fine, but if they are drugs, what can be done.

"Do you really think that drug dealers trade amethyst?" Lucas said something suddenly and seemingly casually, but there was no follow-up. Zhao Li was so frightened that he sweated violently, not knowing if he had really done something wrong.

"The arms you asked for, I didn't bring you this time." Then the general spoke, but did not mention what he had just said. Zhao Li listened carefully, and when he heard the news, Zhao Li was slightly disappointed, but he still endured no change in his face.

"There are only three warships, pure warships, used to carry munitions, which is really too conspicuous." General Lucas didn't look at Zhao Li's face at all, he just reached out and took out a password card from his body: "Follow me!" ”

There were only two of them in the underground base, and it seemed that Zhao Li was not as familiar with this place as the general. This made Zhao Li very strange.

Walk to what looks like an underground barracks dormitory, with rows of cramped beds and old bunk beds. Aside from the coded lock at the door, there was not a single sign of a modern barracks. It was crowded inside, and it was probably used to arrange temporary resting places for soldiers in wartime.

The passcode card slipped into one of the ports of the electronic door lock, and then the general began to press them one by one on the numeric keypad. Zhao Li counted silently, and pressed it at least thirty times, only then did he hear a slight clicking sound inside the dormitory.

The casual general handed the password card to Zhao Li, and along with it, there was also an electronic memory: "This is the password, after reciting it, destroy it immediately, don't let the second person know!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Li didn't know what it was, but since the general gave it to him, he must have his reasons.

In the dormitory, the bed closest to the middle was silently removed, revealing a flat wall with only a small socket in the wall.

At the general's signal, Zhao Li inserted the password card into the socket, and then heard a strange sound. When all the voices were quiet, the general motioned for Zhao Li to pull out the password card.

After pulling it off, the general did not say anything and began to wait quietly. After waiting for almost five minutes, before Zhao Li wondered if the general had misremembered something, there was a slight noise on the wall, and then, a small hole cracked in the wall, revealing something like a handle.

"Pull it out!" The general stood behind him and ordered. Without thinking, Zhao Li reached out and grabbed the metal handle, and began to pull hard.

"Use True Qi!" General Lucas behind him reminded him, and Zhao Li hurriedly followed his orders. However, what surprised Zhao Li was that he couldn't pull the handle even a little bit despite all his strength.

The general's eyes behind him seemed to be a little hot behind him, Zhao Li let go of the handle, moved in place, grabbed the handle with both hands, and exerted his strength again.

Although Nameless True Qi is domineering and strong, it doesn't seem to be so good at increasing strength, and Zhao Li can't pull the handle even a little bit when he grabs it with two hands. There was also a military commander standing behind him, looking at his performance, Zhao Li really didn't know how to turn around and face the commander's gaze.

A hand fell from his shoulder, gently pushing him aside. In addition to Zhao Li, there is only General Lucas, Zhao Li did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and dodged away with his strength. Then, I saw the general stretch out his hand and hold the handle with one hand.

In Zhao Li's surprised gaze, the handle that Zhao Li couldn't pull at all was slowly pulled out with the force of one of the general's hands.

"This door is specially made, and it can't be opened without the strength of an eighth-level master." The general slowly pulled outward as he strained. Looking at his relaxed appearance, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't pulled for a long time, Zhao Li couldn't believe that the general was such a master.

Thanks to the practice of ancient exercises, in the army, the commanders in high positions also have strong strength, especially the kind of officers who work hard from the grassroots level. Zhao Li also discovered for the first time that General Lucas, who looked like a bad old man on the outside, was also a hidden master.

It seems that none of the guys who can climb to high positions are mediocre. This was the first warning that Zhao Li imposed on himself when he saw the scene in front of him. I thought I had done so many things before, and I also solved a few fake masters, but I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, but now it seems that it is still far away.

The general pulled out the door that connected the handle to the back for more than a meter before revealing a door that could be walked normally. The general didn't seem to think anything unusual about his ability to open the door easily, as if it was as it should be, his expression remained unchanged, and he took the lead in easily.

Zhao Li could only obediently follow in, not knowing what kind of surprise was hidden inside this door. To be honest, up to now, Zhao Li has been surprised several times in a row, and he hasn't calmed down yet. At least this underground base has been to it many times, including the drawings of the underground base, and I have studied it several times to see how to arrange the transformation, but I never knew that there was such a mechanism here, and it seems that there are still great secrets.

The scene inside the door was clearly seen after the general touched and turned on the light, and Zhao Li at this moment was even more like being hit by a huge surprise, standing in place, dumbfounded and dumbfounded. I really don't know how to describe the situation in front of me.

It was a top-secret warehouse, almost the size of a basketball court, supported by a solid pillar a few meters apart. What stunned Zhao Li was not that there was a secret space here, but what was placed here.

Ammunition, as far as the eye can see, in addition to firearms and weapons, is ammunition, and the entire space is full. Except for the aisles left for people to walk on, almost all of the rest of the place is ordnance. Of course, in addition to these, there are some other equipment, anyway, at a glance, it is a huge combat readiness warehouse.

What surprised Zhao Li even more was that more than half of the weapons here were the standard weapons of the current special soldiers, and the rest were the standard equipment of ordinary soldiers. Judging by the flickering light above, this batch of weapons is very well kept.

Magnetically concussive knives, particle cannons, and even something that looks like the legendary laser kinetic cannon, which can destroy a small warship with a single shot. Is this something that a military camp in a fringe area should have?

"Whoa", the general had already reached out and removed a gun from the weapon rack at hand and pulled down the bolt. He took a closer look and nodded: "Good maintenance." As he spoke, he handed it to Zhao Li, and reached out and took another handle.

Zhao Li took it blankly, subconsciously checked it, and then saw General Lucas's slightly meaningful gaze. Not knowing what it meant, Zhao Li looked at these weapons: "General, what's going on with these weapons?" ”

"Just in case, as well as specially built supply depots for certain personnel on covert missions." The general put his gun back in his hand and replied lightly.

96. New plans

Needless to say, this must have been planned at the time of the construction of the base. Such a thing, in the surrounding environment, can never be built after the fact. It must be said that although the political axe army has been restricted a lot on this marginal planet, secretly, there are still various means of response.

Moreover, the meaning of the general's words just now is that there will be some special personnel here from time to time to carry out tasks. Thinking about it, it is impossible for the political axe to let things develop uncontrollably here, and there will definitely be some restrictions. It's just that these activities can't be carried out openly, only secretly. It is conceivable that those who carry out the mission, before carrying out the mission, will definitely be mentally prepared, and once the mission fails, the military will not admit anything.

Originally, it was a little regrettable because the general said that he did not bring arms, but now, Zhao Li has no such mood at all. The general has already handed over the passcard and password to himself, and the only problem is that he can't seem to open this secret warehouse by himself.

Closing the warehouse is not so cumbersome, walking out of the warehouse, plugging in the original interface with the password card, everything is immediately restored to the original state, not only is it fast, but there is no sound.

"These are delivered to you, and you can use the ammunition in them if you need them." When the general turned around and walked out of the dormitory, he explained to Zhao Li like this: "However, I personally hope that you will not use these." ”

In fact, after the shock just now, Zhao Li was already deeply attracted by the high-tech equipment prepared here. To be honest, the price of those equipment, if you really calculate it, is almost the value of the amethyst in those two boxes. Unexpectedly, it was such a simple handover of the right to use it to himself, which was an unexpected surprise.

The two metal boxes had been re-locked and moved to the General's battleship by several of the General's guards. At this time, including Zhao Li, they were all lined up to listen to the general's speech again.

The general expressed his opinion on the appearance of the base inside and outside. To be honest, putting those amethyst stones aside, the general was very satisfied with Zhao Li's performance when he came here. On the entire edge planet, there are no more than three military camps that can still maintain normal operations, and this is even one of them.

The demeanor of the sergeants in the base made the general even more satisfied, and after a series of praises, the general finally boarded the battleship on the return journey. Of course, those two boxes of amethyst were not left behind.

Zhao Liyou noticed that it seemed that among the general's attachés, there were two guys with obvious inferior strength, with cameras pinned to their heads, and they were obviously reporters with the army. It seems that this time the hiding is real enough, and even the reporters have come up. After returning home, the reporter published a report, which became more and more confirmed by the general's action of coming here to inspect.

It's just that what makes Zhao Li a little angry is that General Lucas reminded him of something in the secret armory. Do drug dealers use amethyst? If it's not a drug dealer, who are those two gangs? What trades will use amethyst?

Looking for Kang Hongyuan angrily? Zhao Licai wouldn't be so stupid. Although he has been used by him, Zhao Li believes that this guy must have a set of explanations, and it is certain that he will be persuaded by him to find him, and he will not be able to find a loophole. Rather than make him proud, it's better not to ask. Keep this question in your heart, and investigate it slowly in the future.

Zhao Li is reflecting, has he deviated from his goal after a series of changes after he arrived at the Golden Five Star? Or ambition?

Although the amethyst stone worth two billion must make the people above look at them differently, this way is definitely a sideshow. So, what is this kind of news provided by Old Man Kang for?

Thinking carefully about what he had done recently, Zhao Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head. What are you doing? Could it be that when you came out of prison and were assigned here, you began to think about using the things of some underground forces to climb up?

No, it must not be! Zhao Li admonished himself like this. While these powers are easy to master, what about after mastering? Will he become some kind of underground force for the rest of his life?

Zhao Li has always been very envious of the status of the old prison warden, detached, except for this word, there is no other word to describe. It is a kind of deterrent that seems to have been detached from the center of power, but still holds in its hands a deterrent that many people can fear. Zhao Li's temporary target is the old prison warden.

If you want to become that kind of person, at least you must be able to live your own cultivation, otherwise, if you encounter any accident, you may be solved, and this is something that no one wants to face.

General Lucas's "inspection" also fundamentally solved the trouble of the great changes in the style of the military camp for Zhao Li in the recent period. The training at the base has basically entered into a regular formality.

The soldiers seemed to have a goal, especially when Zhao Li announced that he would insure some outstanding soldiers with huge war risks in the near future, and that enthusiasm for training immediately reached an extreme. Even Zhao Li was infected by such enthusiasm.

Since the injury, the basic physical fitness technique has reached the realm of seven or nine weeks, and there has been no greater progress. What satisfied Zhao Li was that he could now control the true qi of the Basic Physical Fitness Technique to complete the practice of the Seven or Nine Weeks, instead of being immersed in that kind of meditation realm, such a change made Zhao Li feel the process of his cultivation very clearly.

In addition to being able to resist attacks on the chest and abdomen at critical moments, as well as more effectively stimulating the recovery of the body and meridians when healing, there is also a point that seems to have a unique advantage in recovering physical strength and fatigue, in addition, Zhao Li can no longer know what kind of use the true qi of the basic physical fitness technique is.

The nameless true qi still maintains that kind of entry, and the true qi that comes out of daily cultivation is not wasted at all, and almost eighty percent of it is compressed and condensed by the basic physical fitness technique. Only twenty percent of what was left for himself was also compressed, but there was no such dense level of true qi that could be mobilized by the Nameless Mind Method.

According to Zhao Li's own estimates, if the current true qi is comprehensively evaluated according to quality and quantity, it can reach the standard of level five at most, and it seems that a certain degree of effort is needed to break through the threshold of level five.

Thinking of the level of exercises, Zhao Li couldn't help but think of Li Xiuyuan, who had already entered the genius school and had a close relationship with Major Michael. This former recruit comrade-in-arms seems to still maintain his hatred for himself, and always wants to teach himself a lesson, and he will be ashamed. However, judging from the current situation, he should not have any chance for the time being. Although the edge planet is chaotic, as a person in the military, it is not possible to come if you want to.

For the time being, there is no trick to make rapid progress in the cultivation of True Qi, so we can only find a way to do it in other ways. For a long time, when Zhao Li was trained by those perverted instructors in the special prison, a large part of the project could not be carried out due to the training ground, and what Zhao Li mastered was only on paper at most.

In particular, subjects related to field warfare, orienteering, survival training, etc., are even less possible in prison. Now is a great opportunity to find time to turn your theoretical knowledge into practical skills.

Christine and Li Mengdie were not so supportive of Zhao Li's whimsy. Although the special forces training method of the ordinary army can also create a group of special soldiers with excellent skills and strong strength, in comparison, the method of the genius school can effectively create a large number of strong people.

In this regard, Zhao Li did not reject it, but asked for advice very humbly. The two women don't hide their selfishness, except for some of Christine's performances in the face-to-face situation, which will make Zhao Li a little uncontrollable, the other parts are still very enthusiastic to guide Zhao Li.

One thing is easy to understand, after all, the cultivation speed of students in gifted schools is much higher than that of ordinary people, so it is most correct to change the method and teach students according to their aptitude. Especially when practicing the kind of exercises that can quickly improve one's strength in a short period of time, few people can become mediocre when they are concentrated.

This was the first time that Zhao Li listened to Li Mengdie and Christine explain in detail the cultivation methods of the combat and non-combat parts respectively, and he also listened very carefully.

"I've only practiced the Foundation Laying Exercise for half a year?" Zhao Li couldn't help but object. At that time, I had practiced basic physical fitness alone for almost three and a half years, in exchange for an extremely solid foundation, why was the genius school so short-sighted?

"Our students, the average cultivation speed is 1.8!" Even if Li Mengdie gave a lecture to Zhao Li, he always had a cold face, and it was estimated that he had already gotten used to it: "Moreover, what we practice is not basic physical fitness, but a higher level of foundation laying exercises, the efficiency is three times that of basic physical fitness, and in summary, half a year's foundation laying is at least equivalent to two and a half years of practice for ordinary people, I think, this is not a problem." ”

Zhao Li couldn't help but didn't answer, in fact, there was no way to refute it. Although Zhao Li felt that he had gained a lot from practicing the basic physical fitness technique for so long, compared with the more than 100 years of experience in the genius school, his indiscriminate groping was definitely lacking, and it was impossible to say that he had been a genius school in this regard. What's more, he didn't want to reveal his own physical condition to the two daughters.

Next, Zhao Li further learned about the cultivation methods of the genius school. Each person will go through a detailed test to determine the direction of their practice. Then, according to each person's caste, they will practice the exercises that are suitable.

These exercises are all the practice methods of those predecessors collected from the people, because the practice requirements are relatively high, and they are not suitable for ordinary people to practice, so they cannot be popularized. But for the students of the gifted school, it is a good test piece.

"Has anyone ever been disabled because of a problem with their practice?" When Zhao Li heard this, he couldn't help but be a little interested in the life of this white mouse again.

"Yes, but the chances are very low, about two or three out of a hundred people will have this problem." Li Mengdie's answer did not change in tone at all because of the question itself, and it was still so calm: "However, since it is exploration, there will inevitably be sacrifices, and everyone knows this truth from the first day they enter the genius school." ”

Not only did he have to act as an experiment, but he also had the possibility of failing to practice and leading to disability or even death, Zhao Li couldn't help but curse: "Fortunately, I didn't choose a genius school at that time." Regarding the decision to kill the white mouse at that time, Zhao Li threw the five bodies he admired to the ground.

The method of the genius school is to determine the appropriate exercises for the cultivation of the appropriate caste, and the cultivation speed of the students themselves is higher than that of ordinary people, so it is possible to cultivate masters in a short time.

"How did you break through the bottleneck of level eight?" This is a problem that Zhao Li is more concerned about, and he is also facing the same bottleneck, but it is level six, not level eight. But at this time, Zhao Li didn't want to tell the truth, for fear of the two girls laughing.

"In addition to daily practice, the trainees of the combat department also have to receive regular combat training from the instructors." Li Mengdie didn't have him, and he didn't joke Zhao Li for not telling the truth, and replied normally: "There are always three to five instructors attacking at the same time each time, and in this case, it is easy to find your own weaknesses." Moreover, there will be special personnel to study the physical characteristics of each person, formulate the most suitable cultivation plan, and at the appropriate time, gather the strength of several senior instructors to create opportunities for students to break through the bottleneck. ”

From this point of view, even Zhao Li had to drool with envy. This kind of extravagant training and cultivation is simply impossible to implement on a large scale in the military, let alone among the general public.

It almost takes the efforts of countless people to create a genius master, no wonder those people in the military are dissatisfied with the people in the genius school. There are often some dirty words, and now it seems that it is not necessarily hatred, Zhao Li believes that the jealous may be a little more. According to this calculation, almost the resources consumed by a genius cadet after graduation can be used to fund a special squad for ten years.

What Zhao Li urgently needed was to make a plan for himself that could quickly improve his strength in a short period of time. The confrontation with the three eighth-level masters made Zhao Li know his strengths and weaknesses.

The Nameless True Qi is really worthy of being taken out by the old prison warden, even with Zhao Li's current cultivation, he can maintain the Nameless True Qi and the kind of attack that divides the muscles and bones in a short-term attack, even if the other party is an eighth-level master, it has a short-term effect. The main gap is that my own cultivation is not enough, but it is already very remarkable to be able to compete with an eighth-level master with a fifth-level exercise level, and still be able to do this, right?

The conditions here can't be as good as those in a genius school, and it seems that the methods provided by those perverted instructors are more suitable. Zhao Li finally proposed his training plan to the two girls when he saw that everything in the barracks had begun to run according to plan.

There is no way, even Kristine has made a breakthrough recently, but Zhao Li, as the chief official, has not changed, which really makes him feel a little weak.

To become a master, you may not be able to take power, but even Lucas has that kind of cultivation, which also shows that in the army, if you don't become a master, you will definitely be abandoned!

(To be continued)
