Wu Dake was startled by the two people outside the exhaust fan, thinking that he had seen a ghost.

Just now, the people in Area C complained that the air was getting worse and worse, and the vents in their area seemed to be out of ventilation, so let the people from the maintenance department take a look. And the so-called maintenance department actually refers to Wu Dake, because he is alone in the maintenance department now. So he had to climb up the shaft by himself, which was almost fifty meters long, to check the situation of the vents.

Since the main power supply was cut off, the ventilation situation in the underground base has been poor. The first few days were okay, because it was very windy outside, and even the air in the underground base was driven by the wind, so everyone didn't feel how bad the air was. But since the weather cleared and the wind stopped, the air inside the base got worse and worse. Two days ago, when everyone was complaining, the upper deck also used a diesel generator to send some electricity, so that several main exhaust fans turned for an hour, and the air quality improved slightly. But two days later, the air was cloudy again.

Wu Dake once suggested that several main exhaust fans should be installed with crank handles, and people should be sent to take turns to shake the exhaust air by manpower. But after the suggestion was reported, he figured out that those managers who sat in the office and the researchers in the laboratory would definitely not do it. The slaves were all warriors, and they were very dangerous, and they had to be closely guarded, and they could not be pulled out to be used as coolies. And the guards and supervisors must always take care of these warrior slaves, and dare not relax in the slightest. And what can really be used to shake the fan, Wu Dake, who co-authored and made suggestions, is suitable alone. After thinking about it, he almost slapped his own cheap mouth. So in the end, this suggestion was also dismissed.

Wu Dake climbed down the shaft to the large exhaust fan of the vent in Area C, first hooked himself to the ladder frame with a buckle, and then he took out a candle, lit it with a lighter, and stretched it under the fan. He stared carefully at the flame of the candle to see if it was fluttering in the direction of the fan, to test if the air was still flowing outward. The flame didn't move, and Wu Dake couldn't help but look out of the fan by the light of the candle.

Before Wu Dake went to Neverland, he was a top student at Tsinghua University and a pure atheist. But when he saw the two miserable white faces outside the fan, he couldn't help but scream and blew out the candle. If he hadn't hooked himself to the ladder frame a long time ago, I'm afraid he would have fallen headlong into the shaft, and it would have been a maintenance accident.

After a while, Wu Dake calmed down, forcibly used reason to overcome the fear of his body, he lit the candle again, and shone it out of the fan, only then did he see that the other party was a big and a small two, both of them were disgraced. He asked in a trembling voice in English, the official language of the base, "Who are you?" The other party didn't know if he couldn't understand or couldn't speak, but he used various gestures to get him to open the outer cover of the fan so that the two of them could enter the base.

Wu Dake thought for a moment about whether to let these two guys who were not ghosts and ghosts come in, and then he suddenly figured out that the base was now in the city of sorrow. Any information from outside is useful to the inside base. So he finally opened the inner fan cover and let the two of them get through between the fan blades.

Along the way, Wu Dake tried to communicate with the other party many times, but the other party just didn't speak. Wu Dake took the two to the security office in Area C, and asked the guards to report to the upper floor, and he led the two to wash their faces and dust first. When the two people, one big and one young, picked up their personal appearances, Wu Dake finally saw the true faces of these two people, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he almost screamed out, because he recognized this face.

After Xindu followed the office assistant to the door of the guardhouse in Area C, he saw that in addition to the father and daughter who entered, there was also a security guard with a stun gun and a maintenance worker. He called the maintenance worker, who was the first discoverer, out to check on the situation before going inside.

Confidence looked at the medium man in front of him, and found that he was dark and thin, and he couldn't tell how old he was, and then at the child he was holding on his chest, and Faith began to wonder about his possible identity.

This person could not be an ordinary person, because if he was an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to pass through a ventilation duct of more than two hundred meters with his stature. You must know that the diameter of this more than 200-meter pipeline is only 25 centimeters, and theoretically it is impossible for children over the age of five to pass through, let alone adults. Although the person in front of him is thin, he has a lot of muscles on his body, and he must have a special ability to compress his body, so that he can pass through a ventilation duct that is only twenty-five centimeters.

The child in his arms was fair-skinned and looked like a child of a well-pampered family. The child hugged the man's neck tightly, obviously trusting him, and the relationship between the two should be very close, most likely father and daughter. But who would bring their own daughter to this deserted place?

"Who are you? Why are you here? Reliability asked in English.

Lang Tianya didn't expect that the person in charge of this place would be an Indian. He thought it was a secret military base. Therefore, he has already made up a reason for the crash of a small tourist plane, and is ready to deal with the military's interrogation, and the focus of his defense is also to be afraid of being suspected of listening to military secrets. But he didn't expect that it would not be like that at all when he came in.

Lang Tianya was instinctive, in order to hide his identity and not reveal unnecessary flaws, so he didn't speak, but just gestured with the maintenance staff to express his meaning. When he followed the maintenance personnel down the shaft under the fan for about a hundred meters, he saw the true face of this underground world.

It's a huge underground world, so big that it actually houses an ore processing plant. This can't be a military base at all, because just looking at the mining equipment, and the excavators, the ore conveyor belt, the huge high-temperature electric furnace, and the dense wires on the rock layer above the head, etc., you know that this is a mine, and it is a very hidden mine, it should be a black mine!

Lang Tianya's hip bone, the ligaments of the shoulder joint, the cartilage, and some muscles were all injured to varying degrees in the crawling exercise of the ventilation duct just now, and with his special physique, it would take at least half a day to recover. So he wanted to delay as much time as possible, and not let these black mine operators imprison him or drive him away, at least for six hours.

"I don't know what he said, can you translate it?" Lang Tianya heard the Indian man's question, and said to the people around him in Cantonese with a blank expression.

Among those present, Xindu was Indian, the office assistant was an Englishman, and the security guard was a Russian, who didn't even know much English, and could only understand some simple English commands. Among the three, the Englishman knew a little Chinese, but he didn't understand Lang Tianya's words either, and he saw that the other two were looking at him expectantly, so he could only open his mouth tentatively and ask in Mandarin: "Cantonese?" ”

"Yes!" Lang Tianya replied with a smile. The child in his arms looked up at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly spoke like that.

The office assistant explained to Xindu in English, which meant that the distance between Cantonese and Mandarin was actually about the same as the distance between English and Martian. He couldn't understand what this man was saying, so he needed to find someone who could speak Cantonese.

Reliability couldn't help it, so he had to ask the assistant to go out and find someone, while he and the other three could only stare at each other. Because neither of them understands the other's language.
