Outside the room was a passage of a black hole, and it looked like the heavy shelling had affected the power supply to the underground bunkers, the red emergency lights on the walls were flashing to indicate the road, the visibility was poor, and the faces of the people around them were poor, and the only working thing was the public announcement system, and the national anthem of the Central African Republic, "The Second Revival of Bantu", was played on the loudspeakers, indicating that Matril's mobilization speech was about to begin. Gu Tie was dragged forward by Xiao Liping, stumbling through the crowd, Lao Xiao seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and after turning a corner, he entered a fork in the road, Xiao Liping whispered in dialect: "There is a discarded power distribution well in the room at the end of the passage, let's open the door and hide in it, and wait until the right time to continue moving." The distribution well is locked, and you're sure to be able to get it open. ”

"Did you remember me when you slid the door and picked the lock?" Gu Tie muttered. On the way, I met several Central African soldiers, each excitedly brandishing a Type 05 assault rifle and shouting, as if it was not a war that was about to start, but a grand carnival party. The door of the room was not locked, and the two flashed into the room while the emergency light was dim, Xiao Liping lit the lighter, pointed to the corner of the room and said, "That's it, pry it open." ”

Gu Tie looked left and right, removed two small pieces of iron wire from a rusty steel wire bed, and couldn't help but ask while tinkering with the peeling patent leather distribution box lock, "What the hell is going on, Old Xiao?"

Secretary Xiao raised a finger: "Wait patiently for an hour, and after an hour, I will tell you everything." ”

"Kah. There was a soft sound from the keyhole, Gu Tie pulled hard, and the iron door creaked outward, "It's best to have an explanation that can convince me, Lao Xiao." ”

The two of them drilled into the distribution shaft, where the strong and weak power lines were rotten to the ground, and the air switches were covered with cobwebs, which looked like they had been abandoned for a long time. The space inside is larger than expected, and the two of them can sit down side by side, lock the door, and silently wait for the moment that Xiao Liping said.

The cannon rumbled, and the impassioned speech in the loudspeaker outside seemed intermittent, Gu Tiedao: "This can't work, Lao Xiao, Aqiwei must have started looking for me, once that woman gets serious, even if I turn my head, I can't escape from the palm of her hand." ”

Xiao Liping said: "That's not necessarily. The phantom bullets I dropped would wipe out all traces of sound and light, and she wouldn't be able to find us in this labyrinthine underground palace anytime soon. ”

Gu Tie teased: "If others find out that we are crowded here, they will say that we are doing business." ”

"A living is better than a dead straight man, isn't it?" Xiao Li Ping said.

"That's ......," Gu Tie snorted, "You at least tell me what we're hiding? ”

Lao Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "You may not know what this place is." The sprawling underground bunker, known as Pan's Cellar, is one of five large underground facilities that Matril secretly built after his election as President of the Central African Republic, the other four in Bangui, Ndale, Bangassu and Birao, each more than 12,000 square meters deep and 70 meters deep with a 40-meter-thick concrete-steel plate-carbon fiber honeycomb composite protective layer that even the most advanced submarines cannot penetrate. Ventilation, water supply, electricity, communications and armament facilities are all equipped according to nuclear war standards, and the entire facility has three floors, and we are in the living quarters closest to the ground. To be sure, these underground bunkers never appeared in the public eye. ”

"Damn. Gu Tie said dejectedly, "It's an underground building again." Isn't it enough to drill tunnels in Japan? I've been working with trenches all my life?...... Let's be honest, old Xiao, what are these bunkers built for? Don't tell me it's a local war like this kid fight. Along the way, I saw the thickness of the protective doors and the anti-biochemical, radiation partitions and spraying devices on the ceiling, although they looked inconspicuous, but they cost a lot of money to achieve the highest level of protection. According to a rough estimate, such a bunker would cost at least one-tenth of the financial revenue of the poor country of Central Africa, and either Matrill is crazy, or we are all crazy!"

Xiao Liping smiled bitterly: "I know I can't hide it from you." We hadn't thought of exposing the facilities before this morning, but Matriel had opened the entrance to the first level of the bunker without my consent to allow the people in the Batangafu camp to come down and take refuge, and it was too late for me to arrive. ”

Gu Tie keenly caught some clues: "'We'? Who do you mean by 'we'?"

Minister Xiao pushed his glasses, "I, Matriel, the others. ”

"Others?" Gu Tie felt that his palms were hot, but his back was gradually becoming cold, and he had already thought of a very terrifying possibility.

Xiao Li slowly spit out a few names: "Others." All of them. Sakhir. Schael. Lemuel. Kakir. Matril. I, Islamel. 'We'. ”

"Except for me, right?" Gu Tie murmured as he fell into an ice cave.

"Yes, except for you, Adam. Old Xiao said quietly, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but that's the case." ...... I'm sorry. ”

Gu Tie was stunned for a long time, staring blankly at the dark wall in front of him, "...... I'm just a nasty outsider, am I?" he whispered bitterly, "all the while, so many meetings, we sat down in the countdown and discussed the future of this world, and I made a long speech, and you all echoed it,...... That's just acting, isn't it? The 'betrayals' are not my organization, but yours, you, Xiao Liping, dear Islamafael...... If you think about it, you did everything when you set up this organization, from the selection of members to the titles, the way it is organized, and even the ultimate goal, you gave it life, and you pushed me to the altar as an ignorant psychic, and for so long, for so long, for so long, you have been admiring my ambitions like a joke, pretending to respect me, cooperating with my instructions, and every time I leave, the real meeting begin......s, right?

"Don't do that. Xiao Liping suddenly grabbed his hand, "It's not as you think." It is true that the 'betrayer' is very different from the organization you have in mind, but we are still friends, Matril, Sakhir, Lemuel, all of you have real feelings for you, don't forget that you are Adam, the first man in the Bible, the origin of human civilization, you are still the most important character in the 'betrayer', even if you do not appear as a leader, you are the soul of the betrayer. ”

Gu Tie withdrew his hand suddenly, moved his body away from Xiao Liping, and stared at the other party's faintly reflective eyes in the dark: "Hehe, old Xiao, old Xiao......" Chinese laughed a little nervously, and gritted his teeth with a gurgling while laughing:" You always use conspiracy theories to explain the world, I said that you are a suspicious neurotic, and you should be imprisoned in Beijing Anding Hospital, but now I find out that I am the crazy fool, for so many years, I have not doubted you for a second, not even a single thought has been moved, it turns out that trusting a person will really fall into this kind of result, Lao Xiao, you are right, everything is fake, everything is fake......"

"Listen to me. Xiao Liping said in a deep voice: "You are very angry and disappointed now, if you want to beat me up or even shoot me, it is normal, I heard you open the pistol insurance." But you don't understand that you are not the one who has been deceived, but that everything revolves around you, and you can't see every side of things...... The betrayer exists for you, and there are more things behind that string of irrational numbers, Gu Tie, you will know everything, and I will not have any reservations. ”

Gu Tie raised his pistol with red eyes, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Xiao Liping's forehead, and his index finger trembled on the trigger guard.

Xiao Liping continued: "Something is happening, we built this bunker to preserve the last hope of mankind in the Last Judgment, but with Lemuel's program interpretation of irrational numbers, everything has changed, we find that the world is a balance that is gradually tilting, and the countdown date is only the moment when the balance finally falls, but if we try to restore the counterweight, we may be able to restore the balance of the scales." This is the purpose of the betrayer, what we really want to do, and you, Gu Tie, dear Adam, are the most important weight. ”

"Balance...... You and the traitors in the 'world'......" Gu Tie asked uneasily.

"Yes. Xiao Liping immediately replied, "You didn't guess wrong. ”

Gu Tie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a labor pain in his dry throat, he didn't know what to do now, he had always been the one who grasped the overall situation, judged the situation, and made decisions, but suddenly heaven and earth fell, he became a blinded, isolated, and poor worm imprisoned in a wall composed of false masks, and the huge psychological gap made the Chinese disheartened, and their brains buzzed. He unconsciously aimed at his partner opposite, imagining the feeling of a 9-millimeter bullet hole in Xiao Liping's eyebrows, and warm blood splattered onto his cheek.

At this time, the cheers of the mountains and tsunami sounded outside, and Matril's mobilization speech was over, and the sound of artillery fire gradually thinned out. Suddenly, a very soft sound of music came into the ear drum, which was a distant sound from the depths of the distribution shaft and transmitted by the wire duct, Xiao Liping said calmly: "It's started." ”

"What started?" Gu Tie couldn't help but ask.

"War. ”

"The war began long ago,...... Old Shaw. ”

"No, real war. ”

Xiao Liping pushed his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and his eyes flashed: "There's an underground war about the future of the world, Adam." ”
