Chapter 165: Purgatory Cemetery
The Firebird pressed his ear to an old-fashioned cipher turntable door, his slender fingers clasping tightly at a broken cross lock next to it, which was rusted and unformed, and even Leon wondered how it could still turn.
But the firebird did twist the metal bump that couldn't see the color, Leon's eyebrows were slightly raised, this chick also humbly said that the combat power was slight, but the rusty lock was definitely not something that an ordinary person could twist, her white little hands, the strength was comparable to that of two strong soldiers, if her delicate control and hearing ability were counted, even Leon was ashamed of himself, of course, this is inseparable from long-term practice, and the people cultivated by the spy family are really not ordinary.
Of course, the firebird is Akasu, and the Black Diamond Town and this underground bunker are another "self-worth" proposed by Akasu, this special person of the Left Ear family, it seems that he wants to follow Leon, and he does not hesitate to take out an absolutely heavy secret in exchange for the qualification to follow him.
According to Akasu, this is the last place where an interstellar army in the old days was stationed, and Leon is no longer surprised that there are underground military bases everywhere in the United States, but it is a name mentioned by Akasu that arouses his great interest, and he even risks her to join the hunt. According to Akasu's description, the supreme commander of this interstellar force, designated M3-T, is a general named Dorothy.
It was a name that was sealed in distant memory, and Leon was sure that it was closely associated with MGM, though he could no longer remember the circumstances under which he had ever heard it.
MGM, who else but he could make Leon so tempted? That tall and handsome man is not only the only bright spot in Leon's childhood memories, but also because not long ago, Daddy Lake finally revealed his relationship with MGM.
Leon is the "baggage" that MGM shoehorned into Lake, and he is also a "stowaway" with a secret mission. The word stowaway is now widely used between a gathering place and a reservation to refer to those who sneak into the reservation from the gathering in violation of the restriction order, but it seems that Lyon's identity is more complex, not just a child lost from the reservation, but with some deeper concept.
What it is, but even Lake can't say clearly, and MGM has disappeared for too long, according to Daddy's attitude, if it weren't for the disappearance of the powerful and mysterious man, he might not even dare to disclose this information to Leon. Looking at Ryker, who was over fifty years old, Leon knew that the only way to solve the secret was to solve it on his own.
And now, Akasu, the only survivor of the Left Ear family, the only heir of the family with the most secrets in the Americas, has mentioned a key name to him: Dorothy. It gave Leon a feeling of being pulled by the goddess of fate in the dark.
However, behind this rusty door, can he solve the mystery in his heart?
Leon watched Akasu's every move, patiently waiting for her to open the door, the scarred woman who was named "Firebird" by Leon because she had been freed from the shackles of "Nirvana" and was to be reborn as the "Phoenix of Fire" of the monolith.
After another five minutes, the door finally made a soft sound, Leon couldn't help but get excited, the crisp sound was not the sound of the dilapidated iron door, Leon believed that the door was only the surface, its core should have an air isolation layer, and the precision parts inside were still functioning normally.
"The surprise left to us in the old era, the SU type full mechanical gear lock, is really impressive," Firebird said straightly, the white head exposed outside the turban was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the blue eyes were hidden in a dark shadow intentionally or unintentionally, and her calm tone did not seem to be any surprise at all.
Leon smiled and walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and then grabbed the cross lock.
With the sound of mechanical turning, the lock strips of different lengths on all sides of the door finally retracted at the same time, and then the door was easily opened, without even a sound.
Behind the door, there is a completely different atmosphere from the outside.
From the huge crater on the surface to the door, there was no artificial equipment, just a fairly solid rock wall, twenty meters long, but the inclination angle reached 40 degrees, like a hastily dug escape hole, the moment the door was opened, Leon couldn't help but guess that the road was really a temporary escape route.
Behind the gear door, it was still dark, but there was a thick putrefactive gas wafting out, which was the smell of organic decay, and the helmets of Sivir and Kim Yinglang immediately lit up with a third-level red light, indicating that the air here was not only unclean, but even worse than in the wilderness, perhaps deadly.
"It's annihilation" Sivir quickly turned on the advanced filtration device, and the military armor on his body was more closely adsorbed by the vacuum extractor. Leon casually pulled down the long scarf that wrapped his hair in half and covered his mouth and nose,
"Damn, how can you use a rag to block the annihilation!Don't you have a filter in those high-end equipment?" Sivir's voice came from the communicator, Leon looked back at the other two, the black forehead and the firebird had silently wrapped themselves in a turban, and he couldn't help laughing:
"Sister Xiaoxi, you just take care of yourself! We are not allergic to that kind of bullshit annihilation."
"Hmph, perverted inspirer," Sivir muttered and ignored them, turning on the highlight on his arm and shining through the door, before everyone was stunned by what they saw, and through Sivir's eyes, they saw the purgatory of death.
This is supposed to be an academic base for research, not only is there no trace of large aviation ships and weapons and ammunition, but it is much smaller than a standard base. Perhaps because the four walls are made of an ultra-thick crystal glass with an insulating effect, if the height and size are too large, the cost will be even higher, so the slender room behind the door is only two and a half meters high and more than three meters wide, and in this crystal glass box, there are bones everywhere.
Time can erode everything, but what is even more powerful is the annihilation. The blood stains on the crystal glass, large chunks dried up into a thick black condensation, except where the height could not be touched, the annihilation mixed everything it could touch, bones and broken rags, leather and metal weapons, cables and tables and chairs, all as if poured into a blender, sticky and still at the last moment, like statues piled up with black asphalt.
"What should I do?" Sivir always stood in the doorway vigilantly inspecting this dead space, which made all life subconsciously disgusted, and Sivir was particularly uneasy, as if some kind of intuition made her reluctant to go in. As they explore the ruins, the dragoons encounter countless strange events, and this is clearly the most terrifying sight. The annihilation bomb was produced before the implementation of the "Skyfall Project", in that small-scale battle for resources, some government-in-exile used this biological weapon to carry out attacks, but the scale of the damage was definitely not so large, this glass box that can be seen at a glance, there are at least hundreds of corpses.
"Of course you have to go in and take a look, they have all been dead for more than a hundred years, there is nothing to be afraid of, the night-type mutant beasts outside are terrifying," Leon replied nonchalantly,
"I don't want to camp in this corpse mixer," Sivir didn't want to step forward.
"The wild fang can smash everything on the ground into foam in one breath, and I don't want to stare at it all night and wait to escape" Leon gently brushed away Sivir and took the lead and walked in, but said without looking back: "You guys stay put, I'll test the survival index first"
The air here is extremely harsh, not only is it full of rotten stench, but the oxygen content is also very low, and the black spirochetes in Leon's body are stimulated by the sterilization ingredients and begin to become extremely active, analyzing the structure and properties of this deadly organism. Leon walked quietly, as if using himself as a test, his military boots clattering against the black sculptures, and some of the hard-looking weapons were reduced to slag at the touch of a touch.
Leon walked inward step by step, until he reached the other end of the glass box, and then turned back and said:
"You can come here, take care to follow as far as I can where I walked, black forehead, you are at the end, go and tell the mount on the ground first, and stand by 20 kilometers back"
"I'd better go, my fox terrier isn't very obedient" Firebird whispered, Leon's eyes flashed slightly, and then Lisuo agreed.
The others began to walk along the splinter path that Leon had stepped on, and after seeing the Firebird quickly return and follow the others, Leon laughed at himself slightly, if he couldn't even handle a woman, and was always suspicious and worried about her loyalty, then this mission should be stopped as soon as possible.
At the other end of the glass box was a locked door, but on the other side of the passcode lock, all they could see was a large intricate piece of gear under the crystal plate.
"It's the same mechanical lock as the previous door, but this time it's upside down, and someone has locked the door outside," said the Firebird calmly, Leon looked at the pile of gears of 7 or 8 layers, and asked:
"Can you get out of the way?"
"Just keep quiet" Firebird said as he reached out and began to look for the gap in the crystal plate, and the black forehead saw her actions, walked over without saying a word, and drew a circle directly on the crystal plate with a bone spur, and then knocked lightly, a large circle exploded out of thin air, was pinched by the black forehead, and rolled to the side.
Leon watched the smooth movements of the black forehead on the side, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, these two guys together are like a natural pair, they are so calm and silent, but these two people seem to be deliberately staying away from each other, why is this? Thinking about it, he asked, of course, with brain waves:
"Do you think Akasu can be trusted?"
"Half and half" black forehead replied very succinctly, but it was equivalent to not saying,
"Why are you avoiding her when there is a credible component?"
"Her qualities disgust me, she snoops and measures all the time, and she doesn't forget to observe everyone's habits even when she eats" Black Forehead replied, his brow furrowed slightly, Leon rarely saw him show an expression, which showed that he instinctively disliked the woman,
"That's her life, she can't change the fate that the family brought her" Leon sighed slightly,
"So you should kill her, so that she can be freed like all the clansmen" The black forehead stared at the nimble little hand of the firebird, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and Leon, who was always staring at Akasu's brainwave, actually felt the light blue light tremble slightly, and Leon suddenly felt a voice ringing in his head:
"She should have been killed!"
