Chapter 21: The Underworld I

"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Liping.

"It's okay!" Gu Tie shook his head.

The two leaped out of the corner and rushed into the smoke-and-flamed main distribution room, where Aziwei stood in front, twin guns in her hands firing fiercely, huddled next to a half-melted distribution cabinet as the surviving Brotherhood member, a child of God covered in a dark green diamond-shaped carapace. The clothes on this person's body have been burned to the ground, but he doesn't seem to have suffered any fatal injuries, at this moment he curled up in a ball and protected his head and face with his arms and knees, and let the bullets "ping pong" spark on his body, Gu Tie took out his gun and aimed at the opponent's head and slammed it twice, and the bullet was bounced to the ceiling, leaving only a little white mark on the carapace.

"Damn, turtle!" Gu Tie scolded, "Old Xiao, hurry up and open that entrance, this turtle doesn't have to worry about him!"

"To put it mildly, the control valve at the entrance is behind the enemy, and he happens to block the secret door...... He must be eliminated!" Xiao Liping pulled the bolt of the gun, and in his hand was a strangely shaped pistol, the barrel appeared slender and abrupt, but the grip part was as thick as a short assault rifle, and even had a collapsible butt. He pushed his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, pulled the trigger with his right hand, and the sound of ......a slight and rapid shot rang out, and a long muzzle flame came out of the muzzle, but no bullet casings ejected, this latest type of bulletless assault pistol of the South China Ordnance Group was equipped with a glenoid depleted uranium flowering bullet strictly prohibited by international conventions, and 25 rounds of bullets poured out in five seconds, raining down on the enemy. When the bullet touches the obstacle, it produces a violent deformation, and the depleted uranium column hidden in the middle and rear of the projectile body accelerates, and due to the prefabricated notches on the head, the depleted uranium core will explode into dozens of fragments, producing a terrifying cumulative cavity effect.

A bullet that lost its accuracy hit the wall, blasting a terrible hole the size of a washbasin. "Puff puff puff......" A series of blood flowers appeared on the surface of the Son of God's body, and a sharp wail sounded, and the depleted uranium blossom bomb had indeed caused him harm. But the three of them saw at the same time that the laceration wound was rapidly healing, the flesh was filling the bullet holes, and the green diamond-shaped carapace made of crystals soon covered the surface of the skin again. The Son of God shrank and moved backwards for half a meter, huddled into a ball and huddled in a corner, not moving at all despite the rain of bullets.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and reinforcements from the enemy will soon arrive. Before the two men could come up with a solution, Aziwei suddenly dropped her pistol with a loose finger and strode towards the Son of God. The smoke and fire blurred his vision, "Hey, don't be impulsive, in case the other party's attack is ......" Gu Tie exclaimed twice, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and rushed forward, finding that the Flower of the Rainforest was half-kneeling in front of the enemy.

In just ten seconds, the tortoise-like son of the god had completely disarmed himself, lying flat on the floor, his body seemed to become soft, and the green carapace slowly sank, like a humanoid ice cream melting in the heat.

Xiao Liping also rushed over, saw this scene and didn't say anything, ran to the corner and began to tinker with the secret passage mechanism. Gu Tie pestled the corpse of the Son of God with his toes, and said in surprise: "How is this doing?Oh, wait, your ability is these strands of hair that can move freely, right? That is easy to explain, no matter how hard the defense is, it also has weaknesses, and the human tortoise cannot do without the pores used for breathing, the eyes used for observation, and the pores used to dissipate heat, as long as it is pierced through these places,...... Ruthless!" he gave the woman a thumbs up, "Did you know that there is an insect called an insectivorous fly? They are natural enemies of wasps, butterflies, locusts, spiders, and moths, and even beetles covered in carapaces can hunt because they will use their beaks to pierce the gaps in the beetle's shell and inject poisonous saliva, and proteolytic enzymes will turn the beetle's internal organs into a liquid, and you can drink it up like a drink." You're a lot like this invincible bug killer, Azivelle!"

Aqiwei slowly stood up and looked at her hands in confusion: "What are you talking about?...... What did I do?"

"Slowly you get used to it. -- I'm used to it. It's nice to have a queen bug by my side to protect me, and it's a good feeling to eat soft rice. Gu Tie said with a smile.

"Are you still acting? a fool who won't doubt you, a smart person who won't believe you, who are you acting for?" At this time, Xiao Liping came out of the smoke and criticized mercilessly, "Follow me, the second floor of Pan Shen's wine cellar is extremely deep underground, although it belongs to the same underground bunker, but it is actually two independent buildings. You don't have to panic if anything happens during the process, you just need to get to the second floor and you're safe, understand?"

Gu Tie grabbed Aqiwei's hand and nodded: "No problem, we are all under your command." ”

Lao Xiao frowned and said, "If you can, I still advise you to give up this woman." ”

"Do you want to die? the same as this son of the gods?" The flower of the rainforest looked at Secretary Xiao who was wearing glasses, and Lao Xiao also looked back without showing weakness, Gu Tie rushed to the two of them with a headache and spread his hands: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, go quickly, go quickly! You two are fighting cocks, and you are about to fight as soon as your eyes meet?" Didn't I say, Lao Xiao, even if a scholar like you is a hundred, you can't beat my Aqiwei, you don't need me to pull the frame, she can kick the little old Xiao in your crotch from a tea egg into a fried egg with one kick!" Aqiwei, you should also be careful, Lao Xiao's heart and eyes of 10,000 you can't compare to the total, he sold you to Zimbabwe to be a child daughter-in-law, you have to happily count the money for him! Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!"

Xiao Liping snorted and turned around and left, I don't know what mechanism he activated, the messy main power distribution room suddenly shook as a whole, the walls, bottom plates and mechanical equipment began to shift, and for a while the flames were blazing and spinning, and I couldn't figure out where I was. "You know that Panshen Cellars is designed for the end times. Lao Xiao said lightly, "If the first layer of it is Noah's Ark, the second layer is the aircraft carrier used to occupy the world after the flood waters recedes! In my design drawings, the second layer can hold enough weapons and equipment to arm a group army, from rifles to self-propelled guns, from sabers to shoulder-fired missiles, and even experimental weapons that have never been equipped with regular armies...... For some reason, the weapons stockpile program ended early, and now the warehouses on the second floor are only 5% full, but this 5% gives us a great chance of survival. ”

"I know you're capable of getting the best weapons. Gu Tie said, "But wouldn't it be better than hoarding underground and directly supporting Matril so that he can win the war?"

"Everything comes first with the purpose of the betrayer. Xiao Liping said, "We attach more importance to the balance of the whole world than to an insignificant local war." ”

At this moment, the floor on which the trio was standing suddenly sank in its entirety, and in the blink of an eye, it went deep into the ground, revealing a complex hydraulic system, cables, and slide rails around it, indicating that it was a movable carrying platform. "I can't find him. Aqiwei suddenly exclaimed, "That strong man, I can't find his place!" Her long silver hair floated in a panic, and Gu Tie comforted: "It may be the electromagnetic wave chaos caused by the explosion, don't worry, we will be safe soon, because I finally figured out what Lao Xiao called the 'second layer'." He pointed to the behemoth in front of him, "Tell me it's a TBM." ”

"It's a TBM. Lao Xiao said, "The 'Black Olive Branch' is a $36 million vertical tunneling shield machine. ”

"There is no passage between the first and second floors, and to get to the arsenal, you have to use drilling machinery to dig a way out. Gu Tie sighed, "This is a madman's plan!" If you guess correctly, the second layer is at least 500 meters underground, where there should be a natural cavity such as an underground karst cave...... Lao Xiao, such a huge amount of work, you can still quietly complete it without the eyes and ears of the world, how did you do it?"

"The power of the betrayer. There are many people who are willing to maintain the precious balance as much as I do. Xiao Liping replied calmly.

The platform moved forward, the main power distribution room with thick smoke had disappeared overhead, several emergency lights in front illuminated a huge working shaft, and a huge cylindrical machinery was fixed in the center of the working shaft by four hydraulic grippers, "poof......" With the steam coming out, a pressurized door of the shield machine slowly opened, "Bang Dang!" The mobile platform shook violently and stopped moving, Xiao Liping stepped on the steel grating ground of the working shaft with his back hand, "Follow me." ”

The largest TBM in the world has a total weight of more than 100 tons and a working face diameter of more than 20 meters. It works with a front cutterhead to crush the soil and rock, drain it from the rear, and at the same time complete the laying of the inner surface of the tunnel, the size of the cylindrical shell is the diameter of the excavated tunnel. However, the shield machine used for vertical tunneling is very rare, Gu Tie has never heard of such a model, he pulled Aqiwei and followed Lao Xiao into the hydraulic door, the space inside is not spacious, there are no windows, and seven seats are placed around the central console.

"Hiss......" The door closed behind him. Gu Tie glanced at Xiao Liping meaningfully, and Old Xiao said frankly: "Yes, seven seats are for the seven leaders of the betrayals. Among them is you, Gu Tie. He sat down in one of the seats and expertly activated the power supply to the EPBM. The lights lit up, and a low roar came overhead, the noise of a miniature nuclear-powered engine starting to warm up the steam turbine.

"It will take a long time to dig down, and the enemy will chase after you, how can this be solved?" Gu Tie also sat down, looked at the many meters, and asked absentmindedly.

"If you want to make a tunnel, it will take you five days to get there. Lao Xiao said, "But we just need to escape, the shield machine will not compress the waste soil to build the inner surface of the tunnel, only dig down at full speed, the newly dug tunnel will be blocked, this is a one-way road with no return!"
