Chapter 183 - Underground Base (2)
When Tang Lu escaped from the underground base, it was not yet dawn.
Fortunately, in front of the mountain wall outside the cave, the mentally handicapped miners slept soundly, and the people on the opposite side of the island were also very quiet.
It seems that the gunman who was on duty just now woke up in the middle of the night and simply wanted to find his mobile phone, so he chose to act alone and did not alarm their large army.
Tang Lu went back to sleep among the miners, still having lingering palpitations about what he had just seen.
The context of the whole thing is already very clear, what these island people are looking for is actually the underground base of the Anti-Japanese War in the mountains, not the mausoleum of the ancient emperor, and it obviously has nothing to do with the "dragon vein".
But it is not ruled out that there is another possibility
- Maybe it was because of the "dragon vein" that the Japanese army built such a secret fortification here to facilitate their research work.
As for what was going on, Tang Lu didn't know.
According to what happened just now, the gunman of the island country who was on duty at night actually disappeared out of thin air in front of him, which shows that this underground base is by no means simple, and there is an unknown danger hidden in it.
It could even be haunted!
Forget it, no matter what the purpose of these island people coming to this base is, let them eat dog and go and fight with their ancestors......
Tang Xuan, who was already tired for most of the night, soon fell asleep.
............
Before dawn the next day, the islanders had already exploded.
The reason, of course, is the mysterious disappearance of the gunman who was on duty last night.
No one is alive, no corpse is dead.
Seeing that the islanders sent two jeeps to look for them in the nearby wilderness, Tang Lu could of course only pretend to be stupid and watch the excitement with the miners.
No one suspected Tang Lu's head, including the beheaded girl and the melancholy man.
Eventually, they thought of the black hole that had been blown open in the mountain wall, and suspected that the missing gunman had entered the underground base alone.
Sure enough, the islanders soon found footprints near the entrance of the cave, including a flashlight left on the ground by the missing gunman, confirming this suspicion.
But the old villain was very cautious, and did not go directly into the cave to look for it, but let the experts of the two island countries lead all the miners to continue to work, and further expanded the hole that was blown up, until it was about the size of two doors.
By the time Tang Lu and the miners were done, the islanders had already packed up their equipment and were ready to go.
It wasn't until this moment that all the people in the other party's five jeeps finally showed up, and Tang Luo counted the number of people on the side, and there were more than fourteen people in total.
The Old Badass, the Beheaded Girl, and the Melancholy Man, that's three, the Sharpshooter and his six gunmen (not counting the one who disappeared last night), that's seven, and the two Island Specialists.
As for the other two, they just got out of the jeep:
One is an old man in a kimono, with dull eyes and dark spots, looking much older than the old villain at the head, panting in a wheelchair with an infusion bottle hanging next to him;
The other is a young girl, dressed as a medical staff and taking care of the elderly man in a wheelchair, most likely a full-time nurse.
What are these two people here for?
Do you choose a cemetery for this dying old man of the island nation?
But for the number "fourteen", Tang Lu is still very happy, because this number is very auspicious!
But he couldn't be happy right away, and at the order of the old villain, the beheading girl had already waved the giant "Moon Crystal Wheel" in her hand, allowing Tang Lu and the other mentally retarded miners to walk in front of the way.
"......" Tang Xuan.
Why?
Just because they have guns!
Of course, the miners would not resist, and they picked up shovels, hammers and other tools and walked inside, and Tang Yi could only mix in the team.
Anyway, the other party hasn't doubted himself, so he will continue to pretend to be stupid and wait and see.
At the very least, we need to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing......
Now, Tang Lu only hopes that in broad daylight, there should be no more "haunting" in this underground base, right?
............
It didn't take long for everyone to pass through the hole in the mountain wall and enter the underground base.
After a full night of ventilation, most of the rancid smell inside had dissipated.
And the whole process went very smoothly without any incidents.
Tang Yi felt that it might be because the "old ancestor" here knew that it was the grandson of his own country who came to the grave, so he didn't do anything like last night.
But it doesn't seem right to think so, because the gunman who disappeared mysteriously last night is also from the island?
Could it be because the gunman's bloodline is not pure, which is commonly known as a "mongrel"?
Then, after an in-depth investigation by two experts and mentally handicapped miners, they finally figured out the nearby structure:
Behind the entrance of the cave is the office that Tang Lu came to last night, which is more than 200 square meters, and it should be the office of a senior officer.
As for the corpse of the devil in the office that was shattered by Tang Lu's punch, it was obviously the owner of this office.
The people of the island country did not doubt why the corpse of this devil was broken, after all, it was a dead man decades ago, who knows what accidents happened during this period?
Only the old man in a wheelchair was very excited, muttering to himself alone at the broken corpse, speaking a long list of island dialects, coughing as he spoke, and leaving tears of sadness.
Seeing this scene, Tang Yi understood.
It is very likely that the old man of this island country was a member of the Japanese army that invaded China back then, and most of them worked in this underground base.
Could it be that he came back this time to find his former comrades-in-arms and renew the friendship of "picking up soap"?
It's a pity that Tang Lu can't understand the island dialect, and it is difficult to continue to make up this story......
Next, through the large office, there is an eerie hallway outside, and this office is at the end of the hallway, and at the other end of the hallway, there is a closed iron door covered in rust.
Looking at the two sides of the corridor, there are a total of more than a dozen rooms, offices, conference rooms, infirmaries, and grocery rooms...... There is everything, look at the furnishings inside, all of them are in the style of that era.
Tang Lu and the miners searched all the rooms, but there was no one inside. Except for the corpse of the devil in the big office at the beginning, no other corpses were seen.
Finally, under the leadership of the island's experts, everyone came to the iron door at the end of the corridor, and tried for a long time but failed to open the door. It looks like the door hasn't been opened in decades.
In other words, because of this iron gate, the area that this underground base can currently reach is only this corridor and a dozen rooms in it, and if you want to continue to move inside, you must open the iron door in front of you.
In this regard, the old villain was not in a hurry, and seeing that it had been a busy morning, he asked everyone to go back to the big office at the beginning to rest and eat some dry food that he had brought with him.
During this period, the old villain pulled the melancholy man who knew Chinese medicine aside and had an in-depth discussion in Chinese.
After Tang Xi's observation in the past few days, this melancholy man, as a traitor, although he can understand the island dialect, he doesn't seem to be able to speak, so only the old villain and the beheaded girl can communicate with him in Chinese.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Yi can understand the content of their current conversation.
To put it simply, the core of the old villain's discussion this time is the missing night gunman.
It was now certain that the missing gunman must have entered the underground base last night, but after searching just now, the missing gunman was not found in the entire room on both sides of the corridor, including this office.
So where the hell is this gunslinger now?
In this regard, Tang Lu also has the same question.
As an eyewitness last night, until this moment, Tang Lu didn't figure out why the gunman disappeared out of thin air, let alone where he was now.
It can't really be haunted, right?
The old villain seems to have this conjecture, and respectfully asks the melancholy man:
"Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, Mr. Lin is proficient in yin and yang magic and is a professional in your country. So this mysterious disappearance, I would love to hear Mr. Lin's opinion. ”
But the melancholy man did not answer, and continued to look up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, his face full of sadness.
"......" Tang Xuan.
He almost burst out laughing
——A Chinese medicine practitioner, who was actually said by the islanders to be a professional who is "proficient in yin and yang magic", and still wants to ask him for the theory of ghosts and gods?
It seems that the United Nations can impose an additional IQ tax on island countries......
Finally, under the repeated questioning of the old villain, the melancholy man couldn't bear it anymore and gave an answer:
"Your uncle......" he said very lonely.
