Chapter 76: The Meeting of Fates

"What's the matter, Gu Tie?" Xiao Liping stopped, turned around and asked his slow-paced partner, the individual tactical spotlight on his shoulder shook so much that people couldn't open their eyes, Gu Tie turned his head sideways and replied, "It's nothing, it's just a little distracted." ”

"Once you get to District 07, you can rest and hold on. Secretary Xiao nodded and continued to lead the way in front. Gu Tie waved his hand to signal that he didn't need Aqiwei's support, and followed behind with trekking poles. The three of them advanced in the silent hall, the blue resin floor was endlessly spread under the light, and there was a cold and sour taste in the air, just like the mood that the Chinese tried to hide.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since I saw this mysterious cube building, my heart was like a twisted and thorny poisonous weed, and the shattered memories echoed in front of my eyes, each fragment had a dim color, a dull voice, and a distant smell, with fresh blood that burst through the heart. Gu Tie didn't like this feeling very much, he secretly untied the tape on his left arm, tearing the wound left by the battle, and letting the severe pain shatter the untimely emotion. The sharp pain made him snort involuntarily, but fortunately neither Aqiwei nor Xiao Liping noticed it.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked to the edge of the cube, the blue wall appeared in front, and Lao Xiao walked along the fluorescent arrow on the ground to a large door, which was about 2.5 meters high and looked like it was made of stainless steel or titanium alloy, and there was a complex unlocking console next to the door. Gu Tie noticed that several strange doors next to him, tall or short, were completely sealed by thick steel bars, and those strangely colored doors with unknown meanings engraved were the original passages of the cube room, and the steel gate in front of him seemed to be added by the siege troops later.

"This door is the entrance to the central passage. Xiao Liping really said, "Since the outside of the cube and the passage behind the twenty-four doors are wrapped in high-density graphene clouds, it is impossible to dig them by manpower, so I can only dig a passage through the gap, and then dig a circular space around this huge graphene cloud." The geology of this location is stable and not easy to detect, making it an ideal place for the second floor of the 'Panshen Cellars',—— of course, in addition to the first appeal, I also want to do long-term research work on this mysterious complex, and the 04, 05, and 06 areas are the detection equipment room, the analysis and inspection room, and the laboratory room. ”

"Tsk. Gu Tie cheered up and smacked his lips to express his contempt: "Aren't you afraid that the owner of this big house will come back?

"What would you do if there were ants nesting on your lawn?" Xiao Liping took off his gold-rimmed glasses and brought them to the iris scanner.

Gu Tieying said: "Let them go, I have nothing to lose." ”

"That's the truth. Lao Xiao said. The console didn't respond, he opened the small window on the side, pulled out the charging handle and began to shake it up and down to charge the device, then pressed a red button. The noise of the current buzzed, and the green light came on with a "drop", and he leaned in front of the scanner again, the orange light sweeping over the pupils, and the octagonal LED light in the center of the door lit up one of them.

"Déjà vu. Gu Tie touched his nose and said. "Facial recognition, iris detection, palm print recognition, fluoroscopic examination, height, weight, gait measurement?...... I guess there are DNA probes as well. ”

Xiao Liping glanced back at him strangely: "I guessed it accurately, the gene probe lock provided by Parkison Genetic Engineering Company in the United States only takes two seconds to complete the gene chain comparison, and no one can open it except for the members of the 'betrayer'." ...... I mean, the members of the betrayers besides you. I'm sorry. ”

Gu Tie waved his hand irritably. The access control system was identical to the equipment used in the Asmontis underground building, and this coincidence was even more unpleasant to him than Old Shaw's unintentional words. "There is a lock and there is a key, and no lock is absolutely safe, old Xiao. With a faint comment, he closed his mouth and said no more.

The cumbersome opening procedure took six minutes, and when Xiao Li entered the forty-four complex passwords in four equal parts, all the LED lights turned pale red to represent the detection pass, and the metal door silently slid open to the sides, and the central passage opened. Secretary Xiao adjusted the tactical spotlight to illuminate the passage, "The safety here is guaranteed, let's go." ”

Matte metal walls, grey composite floors, and an aluminium ceiling with built-in vents, the central tunnel is wide enough to accommodate two jeeps alongside, but the atmosphere is still oppressive. "How far is it?" After walking for a while, he couldn't see the gate when he came in behind him, and he didn't know how long the passage was, Gu Tie couldn't help asking.

"Six hundred and forty meters. Xiao Liping replied.

"This is not in line with the principle of emergency evacuation, you must know it. The Chinese muttered, "The extremely wordy electronic lock, the remote power distribution room, the passage without the fireproof partition door, how can the bunker be built like this?" I guess the door just now is not even three-defense, not even an airtight gate." ”

"Emergency evacuation is the work of the first floor of Panshen's bunker. Lao Xiao pointed to the top of his head, "When you want to use the second layer, it means that the situation is irreparable." As I said, this is not a refuge, but humanity's last super-warship. ”

"Ah, Captain. Gu Tie saluted angrily.

At the end of the central passage is connected to the ring building, and the road to the left is sealed with steel plates, forming a clockwise one-way passage from Area 01 to Area 023. "Why is that?" Gu Tie couldn't help but ask.

"It's open on the blueprints, and I don't know much about that. Xiao Liping stroked the steel plate with rough welding marks, "Going to Area 07 was originally a clockwise approach, but it didn't have any effect." ”

At this time, Aqiwei stopped and turned to look, looking a little puzzled. Lao Xiao immediately asked, "Is there an enemy?" If you feel anything, report to me immediately. ”

“...... No, nothing. Rainforest Flower shook her head, "I heard me wrong. ”

The trio moved on. The width of the circular passage reaches about fifteen meters, the vaulted ceiling is six meters high, I don't know how much manpower and material resources were consumed in the original excavation, and the walls on both sides are painted with the words "01 District" in huge red font, Xiao Liping did not stop at the gate of 01 District, and Gu Tie did not ask anything. After passing through areas 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06 in order, the number on the wall was finally upgraded to "07", and Lao Xiao stood by the door, wiping the control panel with his hand. The width of this gate was enough to accommodate the main battle tank to enter and exit, and Gu Tie always felt that it was unreasonable to build the door so huge in the underground building.

There was no dust at all in the building locked underground, Xiao Liping lit up the keyboard, entered a long list of passwords, and the door began to rumble, revealing a long-lost light through the crack of the door. Lao Xiao made a gesture and walked into Area 07 first, Gu Tie followed in, and then sighed: "Damn, this is simply a crime!"

The space of Area 07 resembles a standard basketball hall, with a few warm-colored emergency lights illuminating the outline of the room, and a few instruments in the center of the floor. Xiao Liping said calmly: "I said that the second floor of Panshen Cellar is not completed at all, and the betrayer has no time, no energy, and no need to complete this project completely. However, there is enough equipment here to communicate with the outside world, and there is a cable that goes directly to the underground relay station 700 kilometers away, from which it is divided into two strands, one directly connected to the African-European submarine communication fiber optic cable, and the other is a fixed communication link with the geosynchronous satellite 'Gilly Bird 3000' over Africa through the Kilimanjaro communication base station, and we have the highest priority to lease this satellite. ”

Gu Tie was stunned for a moment, "That's a huge project, what about security?"

Lao Xiao said: "After using six automatic excavation robots to dig underground tunnels, lay fiber optic cables, and set up base stations, no one knew about these communication links after the robots blew themselves up according to the preset program. ”

"No, I mean the quantum network......"

"Rest assured, now Lemuel and all the quantum network permissions in my hands are protecting the signals sent here, at least for a short time. ”

Gu Tie nodded solemnly and walked towards the instruments, "Traditional terminals, amplifiers, bionic warehouses...... Give me a wireless signal and it's fine. Oh, the Ocean No. 4 sea area covers wireless routing, and even devices of this specification are available. It's important to get in touch with the outside, Old Xiao, who are you going to contact?"

Xiao Liping walked over and entered the password again at the main console, opening the network channel, "All the people who can be used, the people who can help you live." The betrayers, the presidential guard of Matril, the ghost fighters, those lunatics of the IPU, the UN Military Arbitration Commission, the Chinese peacekeeping force in West Africa, and even the GTC. If you don't need to, I'm going to use the bionic bin to log in to the network, although it is painful to change the way I breathe, but after all, it is much more efficient than a two-dimensional terminal. ”

"I've abandoned my principles, man. Gu Tiedao, "Since you think so thoughtfully, I don't have to spend all this effort, do you mind if I do some personal things?"

"Feel free. The base's total power and defenses have not yet been turned on, and although it is safe for the time being, communication should not exceed fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes later we headed for the central control room. As he spoke, Xiao Liping took off his coat and got into the bionic warehouse, "The route is open, and there is no key." See you later. ”

"I remember you saying that Area 08 has weapons and equipment in stock, and since it's safe here, I'd like to go there and investigate," Aziwei said. ”

"Of course, the password is the same as in Area 07, those hairs of yours...... Be sure to remember. Xiao Liping pulled the hatch from the inside.

"I'll see you later, guys. ”

Gu Tie found a chair and sat down, closing his eyes.
