The Nick of Intertwined Fates Chapter 167: Mystery (9)

Although the gate was blocked, the diary records that there was a small gate that was normally maintained, and when Taylor's grandfather's group of soldiers withdrew, there was actually a squad of 15 guards, half of whom were technicians, for daily maintenance of the internal equipment.

According to the instructions in the diary, Ye Suqin quickly found the hidden small door, and the electronic terminal on it was still flashing red, indicating that the facilities inside were still running.

For a nuclear-resistant underground facility that provides electricity for small nuclear reactors, a few decades is not enough time to completely render it functional.

In this way, it can be argued.

Ye Suqin has the identification provided by Taylor, a black metal card.

Just as he was about to put it on the sensor to brush, Ye Suqin suddenly became alert in his heart, he took a few steps back, lowered his body, squatted to check, and saw a few undetectable traces on the dusty ground.

It doesn't seem like I'm necessarily a first-round visitor.

Ye Suqin stood up, reached out and grabbed the doorknob and pushed it gently.

Emergency lights flickered, and the darkness of the corridor was like the mouth of a demon that chose to devour people, waiting for explorer after explorer to sacrifice their bodies, blood, and souls.

..........

Jack is a veteran who forms an expedition with several similarly downtrodden men after retiring from the army.

Honestly, there is no shortage of people in this world.

So their business is not improving, and it is even a little difficult to barely make ends meet.

There are also several members of the team, in addition to the two former veterans who have written violence on their faces, and Lisa and Tom, a technical expert in charge of the investigation. The five of them formed a tacit team, for survival, and for damn dignity.

Metamorphosis of biological samples can often be bought for good money on the black market, and other fragmentary expeditions will also bring them more or less rewards.

Jack has ten years of experience surviving in the wild, which is enough to ensure that his team will not be wiped out early by a group of adventurers with strange incarnations or ulterior motives.

They had just finished an adventure that had brought them almost $2,500, which was barely enough to sustain them for more than half a month.

was worried about the next month's living expenses, and a man in black came to the door.

He offered an offer that was not easy to refuse, and the mission was simple: to explore a military base in ruins in the mountains of a region of Southeast Asia.

For Jack's gang, who are short of money, this is something that cannot be refused.

So a few people brought their equipment and came here in the vehicles provided by their employers.

After several days of arduous trekking, they finally arrived at the forgotten military base. The gates of the base were closed, and there was an air of decay around them. Jack waved his hand, and Lisa immediately took out an electronic key and carefully opened the door. Behind the door is a dark tunnel, as if it were an entrance to hell.

They lit their flashlights and cautiously walked into the tunnel. There was a fishy smell in the tunnel, and there were some faint blood stains on the walls. Lisa frowned and said over the radio, "It seems like there was a battle here." Jack nodded, motioning for her to move on.

The whole military base has a very large space, about divided into three floors, the ground floor is along the main tunnel, divided into categories and carved out a number of military warehouses with great space on the rock mass, which are placed with all kinds of weapons and equipment, from small guns and ammunition to large chariots and aircraft, one by one are listed in a huge space, maintained in an orderly manner, and smeared with thick anti-rust oil.

The aircraft tank was tucked away by the overcoat, and it was still very new underneath, although there was a thick layer of dust on the overcoat.

It seems that no one has come over to take care of it for a long time.

Obviously, this is a war reserve center built by the local government in the old era to prevent World War III.

Jack and the team members glanced at each other, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts, the things here are for sale, not to mention all of them, even a very small part, which is enough for them to use for life.

Found a treasure.

The second level is the living quarters, which sit twenty meters underground, a depth that allows for the protection of almost all known nuclear weapons.

There is a large metal door on the two-level connecting corridor.

Tom walked over to see a metal control platform by the door, with a small recess in the center.

It looks like this is the keyhole.

In the old era, all kinds of electronic locks and special locks emerged in an endless stream. Structural locks, which emerged in the last thirty years of the old era, were widely used in various bases, safes, and secret rooms. The structural lock is made of a special alloy to make the key, and the internal space structure of the key is memorized, and the inside of the key is detected with a special wavelength, so as to open the door lock. The peculiarity of this type of lock is that nothing can be opened except for the first key. In fact, within two decades of the advent of structural locks, the technology at that time could not imitate the keys of structural locks. When the metal process can imitate the key, the cost of trying to imitate a batch of keys is often dozens or even hundreds of times more than the entire system. Compared with the electronic locks that were widely used in the late old era, this kind of lock has another feature, which only recognizes the key and does not recognize the person, which just meets the special needs of some people.

This structure is obviously impossible to crack by physical or electronic intrusion. Even if they can crack it, it's not something that a small team of theirs can do.

Fortunately, the employer gave him a metal card, and he tried to insert it in the groove.

They are only holding the attitude of giving it a try, nearly fifty years have passed since the war, and the most likely thing is that this base has run out of energy, and all the systems have been locked. If that's the case, then the only way to get into the base is to blow open the gates, or find the ventilation and sewer pipes. But that's almost impossible, security is the meaning of the base's existence, and a base that can be easily invaded from the outside is worthless.

But the base gave them a surprise. As the metal card is embedded, several rays of brilliance are refracted above the console, after scanning the whole body of the card. As the roar of a heavy hydraulic press sounded, a large cloud of mist erupted from the exhaust holes hidden in the cave wall, followed by the difficult, jerky grinding of the rusted metal components. The metal door retreats and then rolls sideways, into the mountain wall, revealing the entrance to the second level behind.

The team did not rush into the second floor, but looked into the base through a short passage. At the top of the pitch-black rock tunnel, an automated defense structure moved slowly, its cold muzzle scanning the crowd, but soon the red light that signaled vigilance jumped to a safe green light.

A few people breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the interior with silent steps.

The interior of the base is full of very faint red light, which is also a sign that the base has entered a state of full energy conservation, saving as much energy as possible for lighting. However, the energy supply to the main areas and all automatic doors is a priority.

With the deepening, the follow-up layout gradually became clear, after walking through a short corridor is a three-dimensional space, the circular corridor is distributed with a number of staff rooms, not big, each room is only about 70 square meters, there are more than 200.

At the front is a guardhouse, located at the entrance. Like a small bunker, it guards the security inside.

There were four camp beds in the room, with dusty pillows on them, and four metal wardrobes side by side against the walls. On the wall opposite the door was a row of gun racks, neatly stacked with rubber sticks, shotguns, and automatic rifles.

There are no windows, just a shooting hole. Aligned in the direction of the entrance.

Exiting is a corridor with staff quarters, dining halls, and storage rooms on the left side of the corridor, and mechanical maintenance rooms, spare parts warehouses, garages, elevators, and stairs leading to the upper and lower floors at the center and rear of the base. There are two cars parked in the garage, one is a tandem four-wheeled light off-road vehicle, and the other is a mountain maintenance vehicle converted from a similar off-road vehicle. Aside from the rust marks on the surface and various joints, the two cars are largely intact and may be ready for use with minor repairs.

In the right corner of the base is the medical area, which is not large, but has a diagnosis room, an operating room, and a laboratory.

The basement floor is a machine room, equipment room, oil depot, water treatment station, air purification room, weapons and ammunition depot, and there is also a miniature factory. The factory's four multi-purpose machines, micro-furnaces and automatic casting equipment represent the highest achievements in machining technology of the old era. Of the four storage tanks in the oil depot, only one tank is full. On the display of the console in the computer room, the light column indicating the battery power has bottomed out, and only the last bar flashes with a dazzling red light.

The eyes of the team lit up, if these equipment could be used reasonably, in a few years, a few of them would be enough to build a strong army of more than 100 people here.

Upon investigation, 10,000 yuan of the remuneration promised to them by the employer had already been pocketed, but it was clear that everyone's appetite was more than just 10,000 yuan.

Everyone had a flush of excitement on their faces.

Jack, in particular, had his eyes rolling around his bones.

The temptation here is just too great, a well-preserved base for nuclear warfare. Its value in this day and age is simply impossible to measure in terms of money.

"There's a spiral staircase going down here, go down and have a look?" After scouting the entire base, the scouts found the wreckage of a small section of staircase hidden in the back.

There was clearly a man-made blasting here.

Although most of the stairs were not destroyed, they were already injured and had to be lowered by a rope that automatically lifts them.

What's underneath?

I don't know, looking at the people in the base before so ceremoniously blowing up the only passage, you can see that there must be something unbelievable underneath.

Several members of the team looked at each other and quickly made a decision.

Money often unmakes the men who make it.

Since the employer values the lower layer so much, it must mean that there is "wealth" below that far exceeds the upper two layers.

One person was left above, and the rest descended to the bottom by rappelling.

The vertical distance is very long, about nearly fifty meters, and the further down you go, the colder it becomes.

The landing is a huge platform. There are rocks and construction debris from the explosion, and the ground is not very easy to walk, but it becomes flat when you get out of this section.

In the middle is a shuanggui tram track, which runs straight to the back.

A cold wind blew, and the original emergency lights suddenly went out, plunging the entire space into darkness. When they turned on their flashlights, they heard a faint grinding sound in their ears.

Something is coming at the end of the passage.

The team heightened their vigilance, the guns in their hands were safed, and everyone looked for cover to be on the safe side.

Lisa pulled out a robot base.

The scouting robot ran along the tracks of the Shuanggui tram towards the depths of the road. The four wheels creaked and creaked, and then faded into the darkness.

On the surveillance screen, there was nothing in front of me except for the empty track.

Suddenly, the screen flickered, and something black stood up, although there was only a faint outline, but the huge body was like an ancient tyrannosaurus.

The screen flickered and went off.

"Quick, quick..... Retreat, retreat back and forth, it's weird! Although he was shocked at a glance, with years of experience, he quickly noticed the true face of the other party.

Damn, under this kind of old antique base, how can there be something weird like this that can only appear in the new era.
