Chapter 368: New York Underground
It's no secret that New York City's sewers are probably some of the most complex and dangerous underground facilities in the world, thanks to two hundred years of continuous repair and reconstruction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It includes three basic levels, the deepest depth can reach more than 240 meters, water, electricity, communications, heating, natural gas, sewage drainage system, subway, etc., all listed together in an orderly manner, and even some parts are still in use after more than 100 years, which can be called the living fossil of urban construction in modern human history.
Of course, if it's just as complicated as a labyrinth, what's even more terrifying is that in the huge underground pipes, there are not a small number of homeless people, who don't even have any identity records, and live in the underground world all their lives, unknown to people.
Maintenance crews often found that a variety of cash crops had been planted around some of the pipes and abandoned subways, which meant that the homeless man lived a simple farming life in the sewers......
In addition, it is said that the crocodile in the sewers of New York is also a great threat, as early as 1935, someone caught one in the sewers, including the Brooklyn subway station, the river in the Bronx, the East River and the suburban lakes have been found in the crocodile.
In fact, to this day, anyone who wants to dig a slightly deeper pit in the New York city area needs a detailed drawing.
Because the excavated infrastructure may be over 100 years old, knocking out even a single brick could cause the pipeline to collapse and cost millions of dollars.
So the charts in the hands of the New York municipal engineers are like classified documents and cultural relics, with a special place for safekeeping, and if they fall into the hands of terrorists, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
It is this mystery and complexity that makes many vicious criminals regard it as an ideal hiding place, even if the police know that the target of the arrest is hiding at their feet.
As a person who has been to New York several times, Lu Li has heard a lot of legends about New York's sewers, including many supernatural events, so his heart is full of curiosity, and he keeps looking around along the way, wanting to see what the underground world of New York is like.
Unfortunately, he didn't know if it was because the sewers were too large, or because there were too few people living underground, so he never found a single living person, but he saw a lot of rotting corpses and bones.
After about thirty minutes of continuous travel along the pipeline, the two finally came to a place that looked like a ship lock gate.
The young man threw down the box on his shoulder, turned the iron ring vigorously, and in a few moments opened the floodgates, followed by fingerprints and retinas entered on the second door.
As the metal door as thick as a bank vault slowly opened, the spacious hall inside was finally revealed.
I saw him point to the weapons and advanced instruments on the shelves, and asked with a smile, "How is it, are you surprised?"
"It's impressive, and I can't believe you're taking advantage of New York's complicated sewers to hide yourself. Lu Li replied in surprise.
There's no way not to be surprised, not to mention how troublesome it is to dig out such a large space without the help of large machinery, just the innermost supercomputer, and the supporting advanced electronic instruments, are worth at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and money may not be able to buy them.
"Hehe, this is our most important base in North America, and you are the first outsider, and probably the last. Come along, I'll introduce you to someone else. With that, the young man stepped into the hall and lightly pressed the red button on the wall.
Moment!
The door behind him closed automatically, the red light above his head kept flashing, and in just a few seconds, four people with white masks appeared on the huge screen......
"Calvin, you'd better have a reasonable explanation, and according to the rules, you have the right to use it for help only in the event of an emergency. "The guy in the upper right corner was the first to threaten.
The young man shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "Don't get excited, there is indeed a very important matter that needs to be discussed with you. But before that, I'd like to introduce you to someone. ”
"Introduce someone? Are you brain-affected by the Helmet of the God of War?, making such a rash move!" another masked man growled.
"Imprudent? No, I don't think it's impruded. The young man shook his head earnestly. "Before you define it, I want you to keep your eyes peeled and take a good look at what this is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his crimson iron gloves, and his face was full of a playful smile.
The man in the lower left corner stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "The Legacy of Hephaestus, the god of fire and artisans?!!Where did you get it?"
"You may not believe it, but it was actually given to me by a man who killed Sophia with his own hands, offered to cooperate with us, and provided some important information about the Presbyterian Church. With that, Calvin waved at Lu Li, motioning for him to stand in front of the screen.
Lu Li obviously had no choice, so he took two steps forward, pretending to be relaxed and bowed to his chest with one hand: "Good afternoon, my full name is Enoch Castro, it's nice to meet you." ”
The masked man ignored Lu Li's greeting, pointed the finger at the young man, and asked sharply: "Calvin, what are you thinking? He is the son of a traitor!
The young man sneered and said mercilessly, "Enemy, hahaha, dear Dave, when will you be mature?" Our plan is to open all the seals and release Zeus, the king of the gods, from the seals. Whoever can help in this process is our ally. Enoch has the blood of a traitor, but he is on our side, and everyone should accept him, after all, more than 1,700 years ago, we were all cousins, right?"
"Yes! I agree with Calvin! If Enoch Castro can prove his loyalty and worth, then I don't mind accepting him. The other man chimed in.
"I agree, our main task at this stage is to confront the Council of Elders, who have quite a terrible power in their hands, and must be treated with caution. ”
"I'm against it, and who of you can guarantee that he's not a spy sent by the enemy to break into our interior?"
......
Seeing that the four of them had different views, Calvin's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness that was not easy to detect, and then he proposed in a slightly smug tone: "Since there is no agreement, then we will follow the old tradition of voting, and the minority obeys the majority, I don't know what you think?"
"Damn, do you still need to vote? Now there are two yes and two against, plus your own vote, and you can pass. The fat man named Dave cursed through gritted teeth.
