Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The Big Bang

Standing in the ruins, Yuan Sen felt like he was in the end of the world. There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the cave, which made people's throat dry. A few beams of flashlights were shining in the distance, and the light seemed very weak, and they were still a long way away. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Brother, why don't we go over and take a look? What the hell are those old men doing? There are so many explosives, and all the treasures are blown up by them." Yuan Sen nodded, the atmosphere in the cave gave him a very oppressive feeling, and his mind was always circling those fifteen trucks of explosives.What is the secret hidden in so many explosives?

He knew that this secret must be earth-shattering, but he felt faintly in his heart that this secret might not be good news. They passed through the area where the crushed soil and cement blocks were mixed, and the smoke from the explosion formed a huge smoke belt in midair, which greatly affected the line of sight.When they first came down, the smoke was still very thin, but gradually it became thicker, and the range of sight suddenly shrank to less than 30 meters, and the flashlights in the distance could not be seen. Yuan Sen and the others walked in the direction of the previous light. After walking for more than 20 minutes, they accidentally found the body of a Russian soldier.There was a bloody cut on the neck of the corpse, and the skin was blue, as if it had been bitten by something.

Then, they found more corpses on the ground, one every few tens of meters, and within a short time they found as many as seven.Each corpse has a wound on its body, which is very scary to look at. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "It's evil. Fifteen trucks of explosives have blown up the cave like this. Are there any living things in it?" Yuan Sen found a deep pit in front, and the corpses of more than a dozen Russian soldiers were dumped on the side of the pit.The pit was newly dug by the soldiers. It was not big, and a section of concrete building was exposed inside. The corpse was holding tools such as shovel and pickaxe, and was still working when he was dying.

Ai Kailamu ran to the bottom of the pit, and only a part of the building was exposed. I don't know how much of the ground has not been dug out.Russian soldiers drew a few white lines on the bottom of the pit, which looked like a schematic diagram of the excavation. There was a side-view section drawing showing the depth profile of the building. The picture showed that there was still a large section below, and there seemed to be a door. Ai Kailam waved to Yuan Sen: "Brother, come over and have a look, the old man drew a simple diagram." Kangbasa and Bahargul patrolled around vigilantly, and they seemed to smell something special.Yuan Sen ran over and took a look. There were three sketches of cross-sections on the ground, which were mixed together. These three pictures probably meant that there was an unusually large concrete building underground, like a cement box, except that there were doors on both sides, front and back. The iron gate is sealed as a whole.

This kind of building is not uncommon in deep drilling. It is very strange that it is buried underground after being sealed.When Yuan Sen climbed down from the cement layer above, he paid attention to the four walls of the cave. There were cement layer faults stuck to the cave walls, some of which were as large as ten square meters.Many of these blocks were embedded into the cave wall by the blasting force, and most of them were connected with the cave wall, which was the trace left by the explosion.According to Yuan Sen's deduction, the cave was previously sealed by a cement layer that was tens to hundreds of meters thick, and the fifteen carts of high explosives were placed on top of the cement seal, blasting away the solid cement seal.

Yuan Sen deduced that if there was no such a thick cement seal in the pit, the entire deep well would definitely not be able to withstand the blasting force of fifteen vehicles of high explosives, and would collapse, and they and the Russian soldiers would be buried alive in the ground. It is impossible for Russian soldiers to do such a stupid thing. He straightened out the logic before and after, and he was very happy.Ai Kailam said: "Brother, do you want to dig? There is a door below." Yuan Sen said: "Go ahead, I want to see what is so tightly sealed off in Russia." Ai Kailam smiled and said: "Okay, it can't be a treasure." He waved to Kangbasa and called out Kangbasa's name, asking him to come over to assist in the excavation.Combasa had already gone far away, and there was a hazy light in the depths of the explosion smoke, which was emitted by Combasa's flashlight.

The three of them took tools from the corpses of Russian soldiers and dug deep down along the concrete building. The side view section did not show numbers, and they didn't know how deep it was. They dug more than four meters and didn't know what to do. Ai Kaila said woodenly: "Brother, according to Mr. Ai's experience, we have to dig down tens of meters to find the door. This is good luck." Yuan Sen nodded and said, "It's possible, so we can only dig." Ai Kailam was dejected, and he suddenly patted Kangbasa and said, "Special soldier, you have been patrolling for so long, have you found anything?"

Kang Basa shook his head and said: "More than 20 special forces were all bitten, which is very strange. There must be something nearby. I searched around and found nothing, but—" "But what?" "I think that thing must be hiding nearby, spying on us, but not doing anything." Ai Kailam shivered, and held up the flashlight to look around, but didn't find it after a few rounds, and said, "Special soldier, is that your intuition?" Kang Basa said seriously: "Yes." Ai Kaila said disdainfully: "These days, the special forces are so unreliable. After analysis and research, Mr. Ai believes that the monster has already left, otherwise more than 20 of it will be killed, and the three of us are not enough to stop the teeth." It was sewn."

Kangbasa's face was flushed, and he lowered his head to dig the soil. Yuan Sen said, "Kangbasa, when I got down from the top, I also had the feeling of being spied on, as if there was something hidden in the dark." Ai Kailam was so frightened that he held up the flashlight to look around again, and said angrily: "Brother, don't bring such a joke, do you want to scare Master Ai to death?" Kang Basa nodded at Yuan Sen, and said, "I have a strong sense of crisis. When danger approaches, I will feel it in my heart, really." Yuan Sen said: "Look at the soldiers on the ground, they were all bitten when they were digging, and they were defenseless. We put our work into it, and the possibility of being attacked secretly is very high. Kangbasa, Akaila and I dug Tu, you continue to be vigilant."

Kang Basa agreed, and Yuan Sen said to Ai Kailam: "Hurry up, this place can't stay for long." The two dug quickly, and after digging another two meters or so, a rusted iron gate emerged from the bottom of the building.Ekailam yelled happily, and the two dug faster.Kangbasa walked around ten meters away from them, and the smoke was much less. He scanned around with a flashlight, and there was only a vast amount of dust in the distance, which was eerily quiet. The iron gate was ten meters high. Yuan Sen and Ai Kailamu dug for nearly four hours to dig out the iron gate. A large pit was dug in front of the gate. The rust on the iron gate was half an inch thick. It fell down with a clatter, and the front of the pit was full of rust.A bolt was fastened to the iron door, and the iron door was locked tightly. It took Ekaila a long time to pull the bolt open, and the iron door opened a crack.He took a flashlight to shine a light inside, and it was pitch black inside, rotting away.

Ai Kailam was in a hurry to go in, but Yuan Sen held him back and said, "Open the door first to let the air in. The building has been sealed and it is prone to lack of oxygen." Ai Kailam nodded, and pulled the iron gate wide open. Kangbasa finished his guard on the pit, and Baharguli took out all the dry food he had prepared earlier, and called the two of them to come up to eat. Yuan Sen climbed up from the pit, sat on the ground leaning on his backpack, and said to Kangbasa, "Did that thing go?" Kangbasa shook his head and said: "It's strange, that thing still feels like it's been lurking and waiting for an opportunity, and never shows up." Yuan Sen ate a piece of compressed biscuit and drank a big mouthful of water from the kettle.Ai Kailamu crawled out of the pit and held up a flashlight to shine around. Under the light of the flashlight was the shadow of the cave wall falling down, which was a little scary.Yuan Sen said: "Let's take a rest, recover our strength, and then enter the concrete building. Everyone is on guard." He looked at the corpse of the Russian army lying in front of him, and couldn't help feeling terrified. He agreed with Combasa, that thing must not have gone far. I haven't come out for such a long time, maybe I found that they are very tightly guarded and can't find a sneak attack opportunity. They ate and drank enough, Kang Basa said: "Why is there no news from Assistant Wang?" Yuan Sen said: "With her ability, if there is no accident, she should come here." Bahar Guli said anxiously: "What if there is an accident?" Yuan Sen was taken aback. He never thought that something would happen to Wang Hui. Based on his understanding of Wang Hui, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would firmly grasp it.Her calmness, vigilance, and skill were the best he had ever seen.If something goes wrong with her, it means no one can get out. Ai Kaila said woodenly: "That's right, Wang Hui is a powerful woman, but you said that anything can happen underground, let alone the earth-shattering explosion, the stones and slabs flew around in the sky, and it turned into a pile of meat when you hit it Ni, this is all a matter of chance, isn't it?" Baharguli was anxious when he heard that, pointing at Akaila and said: "You—you—" Ai Kailam spread his hands and said, "Of course, Assistant Wang may not have entered this deep drilling well. If he did not enter the well, he would not be killed. Are you right?" Bahargul heard that Akailam was teasing her, and was so angry that he wanted to be in a hurry with him. Akailam jumped away, his flashlight flickered in the air, and Yuan Sen suddenly shouted: "Someone—be careful— —” Ai Kailam was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Yuan Sen and Kang Basa rushed towards the shadow one after another. The shadow flickered in front of their eyes, and quickly rushed into the pit.Bahargul yelled: "Down into the pit——down into the pit—" She fired two shots in a row, and the gun missed.Yuan Sen's heart trembled, he jumped down the pit, and saw the iron gate making a sound, and the black figure entered the iron gate. Ai Kailamu came over with his head and said, "Brother, won't that thing go in?" Yuan Sen's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he let out an expressionless "hmm".Kangbasa jumped down from the pit, dodged into the iron gate, and got out again after a while. He said: "The concrete building is well-connected. I don't know how deep it is, and there are no new traces. It will not be easy to find for a while." .” Yuan Sen said, "Kangbasa, are you sure that's a person?" Kambasa hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Yuan, are you sure?" Yuan Sen was a little confused, and Bahar Guli said, "There is only one shadow flashing, which looks like a human being." Yuan Sen said: "I also feel like a human being, but it's just that. The corpses on the ground were all bitten to death by some kind of animal." Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Does that mean that the animal is still hiding in the dark?" Yuan Sen looked at Kang Basa, and Kang Basa said: "The uneasiness of being watched has disappeared, and that thing seems to have gone." Ai Kailam opened his mouth halfway, and said strangely: "Special soldier, you really became a magic stick, and the shadow escaped in, so you can't feel being watched?" Yuan Sen was also very strange, even he felt that the kind of fear that stretched his nerves was hard to detect. If the shadow was a person, the thing that killed the soldier must have gone.Shadow hid in the dark and waited, presumably waiting for them to open the iron gate. This person could not be from the Russian army, so who could it be? Ai Kailam jumped into the pit and said: "It's almost time to rest, let's go in and have a look. I can't see who that person is, and I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it." There was a deep darkness behind the iron gate, and the two concrete walls were more than a hundred meters apart. The four of them walked deep for a while, but found nothing, and they did not find any traces left by the person who slipped in.The dust on the concrete floor was very thick, and it is reasonable to say that there would be footprints. Yuan Sen observed carefully for a long time, but he didn't find it. The concrete building is empty inside, and if you go a few hundred meters deep, you can see a row of thick pipes in the center of the building, with a diameter of one meter or two meters. If you shine a flashlight on the inside, you don't know how far it goes.The surface of the pipe was black and smooth to the touch. I don't know what material it was made of. Many pipes extended from the main pipe to the ground, embedded in the concrete floor, like bent arms, giving people a very weird feeling. Yuan Sen secretly thought that the concrete building was too big and it was pitch black, so it would be hard to find that person hiding in a corner or under a water pipe.When they dug up the cement building buried below, the man had been hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to break in when they dug up the iron gate, obviously someone who knew the truth.They don't know what the underground building is for. If they catch that person and interrogate them, they may be able to get a lot of information. Otherwise, they may cause problems if they rush in rashly. Russian officials have carried out a large-scale destruction project to evacuate the deep well, sealing the concrete buildings layer by layer underground. Their purpose is obviously to bury some things underground forever.With all the effort they've put into doing it, there must be something horrible lurking beneath the ground.A few of them broke into the forbidden area without any reason, and it was really hard to predict how dangerous it would be. Kangbasa and Akailamu searched separately with the pipeline as the boundary, and they had already reached the concrete wall.Bahargul went deep along the pipeline and had already gone far, the flashlight shrunk into a spot of light in front of him. Yuan Sen saw a spot of light in front of him and shouted, "Xiao Li, wait a minute, don't go any further." The light spot stopped for a while, and stopped moving forward. Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot from the depths of the concrete building, and Baharguli's flashlight was immediately extinguished. Yuan Sen's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran forward. He knew in his heart that it was definitely not Bahar Gul who fired the shot. The sound of the shot was very sharp, and it might have been a sniper rifle.After running for a distance, he heard that Kangbasa and Akailamu were also approaching from both sides. He estimated Bahar Gul's position and walked back and forth between the pipes and supporting concrete pillars to avoid becoming a living target. He was half happy and half worried. He was happy that the only person who entered the underground concrete building before them was the figure, and he must have been the one who shot the gun. He was worried about the condition of his junior sister Bahargul. Dao'er is very likely. Yuan Sen stepped over a concrete pillar, first took a flashlight to shine a light on the front, and took note of the road ahead, then turned off the flashlight and stepped across the blank area in the middle, and saw a row of concrete pillars tens of meters away.He felt that he was close to Bahar Gul's position, so he moved very carefully. Kangbasa and Aikailam came from behind from both sides. Their flashlights would light up every few minutes. Yuan Sen stood on tiptoe without making a sound. Suddenly, the sound of bullets exploding was heard in his ears. He hurriedly lay down on the ground with a mouthful of dust in his mouth. His nose was so itchy that he wanted to sneeze, but he forcibly held it back.Just after the gunshot, there were two gunshots behind him. Yuan Sen saw Ai Kailamu's flashlight flashed and then went out. He didn't know how he was doing. At the same time, Yuan Sen thought of a problem. The three shots just now were definitely not fired by one person. The interval between the three shots was less than one second. It is impossible for a sniper rifle to fire in succession. In other words, the gunman hiding in the dark More than one person. Knowing this, Yuan Sen broke out in a cold sweat. The matter was probably much more complicated than he had guessed.Apart from them in the underground building, there was only the figure who rushed through the iron gate, there could be no one else, he was very sure of that. After the concrete layer of the deep pit was blown away by fifteen vehicles of explosives, he counted the number of Russian soldiers who went down one by one. Outside.The concrete building was dug up by them again. Apart from them and the person who broke into the iron gate first, if there is anyone else, it is probably a ghost and not a human being. Yuan Sen was thinking wildly, his mind was in a state of confusion, the cement building fell into a deathly silence, and the gunshots caused a long buzzing in his ears, like a few bees flying around his ears. His hand holding the gun was sweating, and he didn't dare to raise his head. If the opponent's equipment had night vision capabilities, he would be shot if he raised his head. A flashlight flashed in the distance, and it was Kangbasa who was luring the enemy, and the gunfire rang out again.Yuan Sen was very calm now, he could hear the gunman hiding behind a concrete pillar not far from him. As soon as the gunshot rang out, he jumped up and aimed at the two concrete pillars. When the magazine was empty, he shrank back to hide behind the cement pillars.There were seven or eight gunshots over there, and the bullets grazed Yuan Sen's hair and arms. Yuan Sen lay behind the pillar, not daring to move. He counted the number of gunshots in his mind. He fired a total of eight shots, and the number of opponents was no less than eight. . It was so weird that he couldn't breathe. There was no response from behind the pillar, and no further shots were fired.After Yuan Sen calmed down, he felt that it was too stupid for the two sides to shoot like this. With the concrete pillar blocking it, it would be difficult to hit each other.He thought of a bold plan, took out a new magazine and loaded it, and took out a throwing bomb from his backpack.This thing was prepared by Ivan for him. He was startled when he first saw it, and he was always worried that it would explode if he carried it on his back. Now it finally has a place to use. Yuan Sen moved slowly and made a half circle towards the distance. He estimated that the opponent was only a few tens of meters away from them. As long as he got closer, he would throw the bomb by surprise and it would have an effect. Combasa changed his position and continued to seduce the opponent with the flashlight. Yuan Sen was secretly happy. The tactical quality of the special forces is different. He knew that Yuan Sen was very close to the enemy, so he wanted to use this method to attract the enemy's attention so that Yuan Sen could take advantage of it. do something.Yuan Sen looked at Ai Kailamu's side, the pipe was pitch black, and there was no movement at all. During the battle just now, he didn't hear any movement from his junior sister nearby, so he was quite worried. Yuan Sen tiptoed around to the same row of concrete pillars as the opponent. He estimated the distance between the two sides and the throwing feeling. He felt that it was almost the same, so he pulled the fuse of the bomb and threw it over with his hands. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.Yuan Sen huddled behind the concrete pillar and heard the sound of a bomb falling to the ground. He had never been in contact with this kind of bomb, so he didn't know how long it would be between pulling the fuse and detonating. Things fell in front of him. Yuan Sen smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, and was frightened out of his wits. He didn't dare to pick up that thing again, and ran into the depths of the building.His mind was blank, and he kept running forward, when there was a muffled sound behind him, his ears went numb, his heart felt like someone had punched him, and he instinctively lay down behind a concrete pillar. After the explosion, the air was filled with a thick cloud of dust, which made people's throats itchy. Yuan Sen covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and saw two clusters of flashlights behind him.He yelled badly, and shrank behind the concrete pillars. Gunshots rang in his ears. He fired back a few shots, and slipped to the other end of the same row of concrete pillars. Avoiding the gunmen, Yuan Sen walked forward along the pipeline group.He was very nervous. He walked around the shooter just now. According to his inference, his junior sister was nearby. Bahargul should have reacted a little to his tossing just now. Why is there no movement at all?After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't turn back. There was no movement from Kangbasa and Akailamu. Yuan Sen stopped and used the pipeline as a cover. The front was pitch black, and he couldn't see anyone even if he was in front of him.At this time, he couldn't turn on the flashlight either. Eight or more gunmen with sniper rifles were waiting for him. When the flashlight came on, he was dead.He hid under the pipe, in a dilemma. The flashlight suddenly flashed twice in the darkness, Yuan Sen held his breath and looked up, and a beam of light shone towards him in the distance.Yuan Sen hurriedly shrank under the pipe. Inadvertently, he saw a huge black shadow running towards him. He could judge that this person would definitely not be Ai Kailamu and Kangbasa. If it wasn't them, it must be one of the eight gunmen. one. Yuan Sen couldn't sit still, he got out and ran immediately, he could feel the beam of flashlight following him, he was walking in a zigzag shape, shuttling between the concrete pillars, the man chasing him was breathing heavily, his steps were strong, and he seemed to be getting closer and closer to him. getting closer.Yuan Sen didn't dare to get closer to him, and he didn't dare to turn his head back, so he could only run forward desperately. After running for a long time, the beam of light kept chasing him, making his heart beat like a drum and he couldn't breathe. He couldn't take it anymore, turned his head and looked back, and saw a person chasing him with a flashlight tens of meters away. Great silhouette. Now that he ran far away, the other gunmen might not follow, so Yuan Sen felt relieved.He turned his head and fired a shot, but the opponent's speed did not slow down. As soon as Yuan Sen was delayed, the distance between him and him narrowed a lot, and he rushed in front of him.Yuan Sen could see clearly now, the oncoming person was wrapped in a one-piece suit, with only a pair of eyes exposed, like a black plastic bag. Yuan Sen was taken aback, turned around and ran away.Before, he could only use the flashlight of the person behind him to illuminate him, and he was restricted in running, and he was very breathless.In a fit of rage, he couldn't care less, so he turned on the flashlight and ran wildly along the pipeline.The sound of their running echoed in the underground building, and Yuan Sen couldn't help but feel strange when he heard the sound of "Zhi-Zhi-" coming from behind, as if it was coming from the person behind him. There is a group of machines in the middle of the building. Those machines are extremely large. Some hammocks with iron arms are tens of meters high, and the flashlight can't reach their heads.The pipes passed through the middle of the machine group, and the machine group was arranged in an intricate manner. Yuan Sen got into the machine group and was disgusted by the oil. He walked through the aisles in the middle, bypassing two rows of giant machines, and the weirdo chasing him was blocked behind, and he could only see the flashlight coming from behind.On his left is an eight-meter-long oval machine, and on his right is a thick iron plate like a curtain. There is a narrow passage between the elliptical machine and the iron plate that can only allow one person to enter and exit.This location is at the corner of the machine group, avoiding the main road, and is very hidden.Yuan Sen turned off the flashlight and huddled in a corner. Glancing back just now, he saw clearly the appearance of the person behind him, but unfortunately the whole body of the strange person was covered by a one-piece suit, and the figure that rushed into the concrete building at that time moved too fast, he only saw a flash of black shadow, two A person who can't judge physical features at all, naturally can't make a comparison. Yuan Sen pondered, trying to find a way to pull off the man's one-piece suit, so as to know his identity.He planned to wait for the strange man to go straight through the main road in the middle of the machine group, and then take the opportunity to fire a sniper and wound the strange man. After a while, I saw the shadow of the strange man appearing at the other end of the machine group, and he was walking towards the main road.Yuan Sen was overjoyed, raised his gun to aim, and calculated the strange man's pace to design the firing time. The strange man lingered at the main crossing for a while, then suddenly retreated behind the machine, and then the flashlight went out. Yuan Sen was very surprised, and thought to himself, could it be that he had discovered it. After thinking about it, he couldn't decide whether to chase after him, and felt that he would fall into the trap of the weirdo. Just as he was hesitating, the iron plate with the size of a curtain behind him fell from the side.The aisle was very narrow, Yuan Sen leaned against the iron plate, caught off guard, and rolled backwards following the iron plate. In his panic, he grabbed a few handfuls in the air, but he couldn't catch something to use his strength. He rolled on the ground, his back was empty, and he fell into a hole in the ground.Yuan Sen was thrown dizzy and knocked on his back a few times. Fortunately, he was not in a mess when he was in a crisis. He was lying in the hole, his whole body hurt like fire, he stood up after a while and turned on the flashlight, and found that the hole was five or six meters high from the top, and the side walls of the hole were made of cement, slippery. Very, it is completely impossible to climb out by yourself. Yuan Sen was walking around in the burrow. He never thought that there would be a burrow behind the iron plate. The burrow is not small, roughly estimated to be more than ten meters in diameter, and the ground is very flat. I don't know what it is used for. of.He regretted that he was not careful enough, and he didn't realize that the iron plate was not tight, and it would fall if touched. He didn't dare to scream, and the flashlight was turned off after a few laps, for fear that weird people or other gunmen would find their tracks and come over.He was so anxious that he couldn't do anything for a while. Not long after he extinguished the flashlight, he saw a light moving towards him, getting brighter and brighter.Yuan Sen probably guessed that a strange person had come over. The cave wall was made of concrete, which was abnormally flat. There was no way to hide in the cave, and there was no escape route. Fortunately, his gun was still in his hand when he fell into the cave. Yuan Sen pushed the bullet into the chamber, and crouched near the wall of the cave. Seeing the light flickering on the roof of the cave, he knew that the person coming was standing by the cave, but he didn't shine down. His heart was beating like a drum, and he kept his eyes on the part of the flashlight. As soon as the opponent showed his head, he would shoot immediately to defeat the enemy first. Soon, several flashlights shot at the cave. Yuan Sen was blinded by the beams of light, and he could only see four people standing outside the cave clearly with his hand under the awning.The four were wearing Russian engineer uniforms and gas masks, and they were pointing down.Yuan Sen was dumbfounded, and his mind was in chaos. There should have been only the four of them and one person who broke into the concrete building, but now there were not only eight more mysterious gunmen, but also an engineer from the Soviet era.No matter how you calculate it from a practical point of view, it is impossible for these people to appear. There are dozens of hundreds of meters of cement interlayer above the underground building. Dig it out, it's unlikely that anyone else entered the subterranean structure earlier than they did.This is completely unexplainable from a logical and realistic level. This logic is inevitable. If you think about it from another angle, there is only one possibility. Ten years ago, when Russia closed the drilling well, it left some people who hadn't had time to evacuate in the underground building.They lived in isolation for ten years. Thinking of this, Yuan Sen felt his hair stand on end, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and his vision towards those four people became blurred. This inference was so absurd that Yuan Sen himself didn't believe it.The underground building was buried deep underground for ten years, how did these people survive for ten years without light and without normal food? While he was thinking wildly, a tall engineer called Yuan Sen in Russian. Yuan Sen didn't understand Russian, so he was taken aback for a while. The engineer patted his head, and then asked again in fluent English: "Who are you? Where are you from?" Yuan Sen was stunned, not knowing how to answer him.The tall engineer murmured a few words with several colleagues around him. Yuan Sen couldn't hear what he was saying, and then the tall man said, "Sir, how did you get in? If you can tell us, we will let you in quickly." you come up." Yuan Sen suddenly became suspicious. He tended to believe that the above four people dressed as engineers were really people living in underground buildings.Regardless of whether it can be established logically, what you see in front of you seems to be the truth. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone blasted the partition on the concrete building, and we dug through the iron gate." The tall engineer yelled, "Oh, my God." Several other engineers jumped for joy, yelled and jumped together, wearing gas masks, and they looked very strange jumping around in the dark.Yuan Sen was very disturbed, he didn't know what happened, whether what he saw was absolutely true, these people were really buried by Russia for ten years? The tall engineer said: "It turned out that the earthquake-like shaking was caused by the explosion. I thought I was going to die in it. This news is very happy." After all, he dropped the rope from above and waved to Yuan Sen. Yuan Sen understood and didn't worry about who they were, so he went up first and then talked. The tall man pulled Yuan Sen up friendly, handed Yuan Sen a gas mask, and said, "Young man, it will be good for you to wear it." Yuan Sen knew that there was a problem in the concrete building, so he put the mask on his head without thinking too much. The tall engineer patted Yuan Sen on the shoulder and said, "Young man, we are all outcasts, thank you for helping us." Yuan Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "You mean, you belong to the Kola Deep Drilling Geocentric Telescope Project team, and your government is the Soviet Union?" The tall engineer said: "Yes, there is no doubt about it." Yuan Sen took a breath and said, "This—how to prove this?" The tall engineer smiled and said, "No proof is needed, we still have people in the living quarters, and they will show you the ten years of our closed life." "My name is Alexandre Gavrila, you can call me Shania." Yuan Sen nodded. He never dreamed that the things that cost a lot of money to seal up in the deep drilling wells would be the engineers of the Kola Geocentric Telescope Project of the Soviet Union.What was the purpose of the Soviet Union in doing this?What is hidden behind the whole thing?Yuan Sen has thousands of questions to ask Engineer Shania. Shania spread his hands to him, pointed to the darkness, and said, "Our living area is still far away from here, it's a place you wouldn't expect." Yuan Sen said: "I met a strange man who was completely wrapped up, he is also one of your people, right?" Shania nodded. He clapped his hands and said, "He's a security worker. Guards, come out and meet the friends who helped us out." Soon, beams of flashlight lighted up behind the machine, and eight monsters in one-piece suits stepped out from behind the giant machine. They were huge and sharp-eyed. They nodded at Yuan Sen and hid behind the big machine. Yuan Sen understood that the gunmen who attacked them just now must be these eight people.He said to the Shania engineer: "I have a few friends who have clashed with your guards in front. I would like to ask, how are they doing now?" Shania smiled and said, "They're fine. We didn't hurt anyone. They were just a little confused by our guards. I'll send someone to find them right away." Yuan Sen hurriedly thanked Shania. Suddenly, a series of submachine guns fired from the machine group, and everyone instinctively looked for a place to hide. Guns were fired from all directions. Yuan Sen hid in a machine slot and did not dare to look up. Many bullets fell beside him.Hearing the gunshots, he didn't know how many people were shooting. What's even more strange was, why did this group of people shoot at Shania and the others? Aren't they their own people? Yuan Sen was puzzled, and Shania was hiding behind the machine less than two meters away from Yuan Sen. At this moment, a loud female voice shouted: "You are surrounded, come out honestly—give me come out--" She shouted in English, and Yuan Sen aimed at Shania, who lay there motionless, while several other engineers came out of their hiding place one after another.Shania waited for a moment, then walked out.Seeing that they had all gone out, Yuan Sen knew that hiding was no fun, so he came out honestly and stood among the crowd. A searchlight protruded from the back of the machine group, and the strong light shot down from overhead, illuminating the ground near the burrow.Everyone stayed in the dark for too long, unable to bear the stimulation of this strong light, most of them covered their eyes. Yuan Sen's eyes were half-closed. On the large mechanical platform under the searchlight of the mechanical arm opposite, there stood a woman in a leather suit. The woman also had a gas mask on her face and a submachine gun in her hand, looking down on everyone below.Two burly men stood on both sides of her, holding heavy weapons, and a group of masked men in Russian uniforms stepped out from behind the machine, surrounding everyone. Yuan Sen speculated that this group of people should be in the same group as the group of people who died outside the concrete building. The woman said: "I didn't expect my information to be so accurate. It's unbelievable that a scientific researcher who has been sealed underground in Russia for ten years is still alive." Shania pushed away the crowd and said, "Hello, I am the highest administrative officer here. My name is Shania and I want to talk to this lady." He pointed to the woman on the mechanical platform. The woman jumped down from the mechanical platform several meters high, shook hands with Shania, and said, "Hello, Engineer Shania." Shania said: "I would like to ask, what is your intention to control us by violent means?" The woman walked around Shania and said with a smile: "We have many plans, and you are also very useful. If you cooperate with us, we will use gentle means to communicate with you." Immediately, she said to Shania: "All of you present must take off your masks." Shania was in a hurry, and said, "Impossible—it's impossible, ma'am." The woman sneered, raised her submachine gun and roared towards the sky, the bullets crashed to the ground, Shania and other engineers were so frightened that they crouched on the ground with their heads covered. The woman put the muzzle of the gun on Shania's head, and said, "You forced me to treat you in an unfriendly way, and I can blow your head off with one shot." Shania nodded vigorously, and quickly took off the gas mask, and the others followed suit. The woman walked around the crowd, looked at the emaciated faces, and said with a sneer, "Sure enough, it's been ten years since I've lived in the world, I can't pretend like this." She walked in front of Yuan Sen and suddenly took a step back.Yuan Sen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.There are essential differences between him and these Soviets in appearance. First of all, he is Chinese. Secondly, these engineers have lived underground for ten years, lacking fresh food, and their physical functions are very poor. , is completely different from these people. The woman asked in amazement, "Why is it you again?" Judging from what she said, she seemed to know Yuan Sen. The woman took off the gas mask, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. Yuan Sen immediately understood that this woman was actually the Lin Wan he met at the bottom of Helan Mountain, that is, Dai Li's granddaughter. 林婉拍着袁森的肩膀，道：“你很不错，我的人一再在你这儿失手，你的确有过人之处。” 袁森心里雪亮，那个隐藏在暗中的对手终于浮出水面，他们的幕后指使人果然就是林婉——戴笠的亲孙女。她爷爷戴笠当年得到西域羊皮古卷，几番周折，破译出奇书《西域惊言》。正是这本奇书导致国民党军队在抗战最艰难的时候，耗费巨资先后在新疆多地展开“灰猫计划”，工程之庞大复杂程度极为惊人，袁森深为震撼。 从阿尔泰山到贺兰山、吐鲁番火焰山到罗布泊伊比利斯鬼城，种种诡谲恐怖的事件一直围绕着“灰猫计划”展开，袁森深切地感觉到背后有一只有力的大手在抓着他，他所有的行动都在那只手的掌控之中。纵然有权力极大的755特种师在背后支撑，他还是处处被动，被人拎在手里玩弄，每到紧要关头，总是错过一步。这背后的阴谋黑手就是林婉。 这个四十多岁的女人，脸庞光洁，皮肤白皙，看上去才刚刚三十的样子。她此刻神情冷漠，却又眼角含笑，挑衅地看着袁森。 袁森道：“从拉甫乔克古城运回来的铁箱子，是被你们抢去的，是不是？” 林婉点头，道：“不错。” “宋青其实也是你们的人，对不对？” "yes." “他为什么要死？他照过X文明青铜镜之后为什么会跳崖身亡？” 林婉道：“他本来可以不死，怪只怪他有了异心，以为借助青铜宝镜能够脱离我的控制。照了青铜宝镜后，他没有得到他想得到的东西，精神彻底崩溃，便跳下悬崖而亡。” 袁森心里一沉，林婉的答案他从来没想过。在他看来，宋青之死必定是受了青铜宝镜影响，却没有想过另外一节，宋青是想从宝镜里得到别的东西，帮助他脱离林婉的控制。他从来没有想过，青铜宝镜里出现的是一块地图，而不能照到他期盼的未来，导致他精神崩溃，从青铜羊上纵身而下，结束了生命。 袁森觉得其中有个疑点，宋青要摆脱林婉的控制，为什么一定要看到未来？宋青被现实击溃后自杀，可见这是他最后的办法。林婉的手段到底有多可怕，才导致宋青走到这一步？ 林婉道：“他是组织在乌市的一位核心负责人，能力很强，做事果断，最后他走到这一步，我也很失望。” 袁森瞪着林婉道：“为什么宋青觉得只有通过未来才能摆脱你的束缚，是什么迫使他这样做？” 林婉笑道：“这个办法是他自己想出来的，他通过库尔图得到考古队的资料，就看到了希望，觉得X文明青铜宝镜能窥破未来，在未来某个时候，他绝对能想到解开他身上的封禁，他也这样做了。” 袁森道：“可是，所谓挖到X文明埋骨之地的考古队事实上是不存在的。他们所有队员全部先知一般地死去，都是假的，我原以为这些资料是宋青拿来骗我的，想不到他自己竟然信了。” 林婉道：“谁说考古队的资料是假的？” 袁森道：“我们找到了考古队员的墓，他们的头骨大多被损坏，不存在变异。据我判断，照过青铜宝镜的人，死后颅骨必定出问题，乌斯满和黑喇嘛都是如此。” 林婉冷笑两声，道：“我有能力把你们那个田博士玩弄于股掌之间，考古队墓葬作假，也不是什么难事吧？” 袁森并没有亲眼见过考古队员的尸骨，一时之间也不好回答，心底却隐隐信了林婉的话，她真要作假，的确是没人能查出来。 两人用中文交流，沙尼亚茫然看着两人说了很久，才道：“你们是一起的吗？我还救过他，我们应该是朋友才对。” 林婉大喝一声：“闭嘴。”沙尼亚吓得脸色大变，枯瘦的脸上一片惨白，他向袁森投去求助的目光，袁森只能对他摊手，表示自己也很无奈。 袁森道：“找到了科拉深钻井，我对你来说已经没用了，你接下来是不是不打算让我活着出去？” 林婉冷笑一声，道：“活着出去？这次要是找不到我们要找的东西，不论是我们的人，还是你和你的田博士，都没有活的必要了。” "What do you mean by that?" “你这么聪明的人，不会想不到吧。田博士在军中没有职务，他只是一介学者，权力却比755师师长政委都大。他在新疆呼风唤雨，党政军没有不给面子的，你以为这是为什么。上面给了他无限制的权力，他不惜一切代价来帮助你们，就是为了做别人不能做到之事。我的组织在新疆有能力对抗田博士的势力，很多地方还优于他，这是为什么，你难道也没有想过吗？” 袁森一愣，心中明白了七八分。这个问题早就在他脑子里出现过，只是他夹在一堆如乱麻的事情当中，没时间细想，其实仔细回味，就能猜出大概了。 林婉道：“这是政治博弈，是两个国家之间的事情。就像'冷战'时期的美国和苏联，这种博弈在'冷战'之后从来没有停止过，特别是随着你所在的国家逐步崛起，获得一些特殊的资源在博弈之中就有相当重要的作用。田博士能给你看绝对机密的文件，能为了你动用所有资源，都是为了满足他那一方的博弈需要。双方的博弈集团都不顾一切地要找到那个东西，就像当年的国民党政府、苏联和美国一样。” 袁森失声道：“那个东西究竟是什么？” 林婉道：“你想想，半个世纪以前，抗日战争期间，国民党军队的财力物力连这场战争都支撑不了，它为什么还要不惜一切代价来新疆进行耗资巨大的'灰猫计划'？” 袁森脑子快速转动，如果说是为了金钱，显然不切实际，“灰猫计划”耗费的资金难以计数，国民党军队不会为了子虚乌有的宝藏来做这么一件愚蠢的事情。他们能进行这么庞大的投资，必定对投资的收益具有信心，或者为了要得到的东西他们打算不计代价。那么这个东西之珍贵，就难以言喻了。 林婉道：“他们要找的东西，是一件武器，一件足以让他们对抗工业强国日本侵略的武器。” 袁森道：“在杳无人迹的地方挖掘上古文明留下来的宝物，对抗近代工业强国，这是非常荒谬的事情，蒋中正不可能这么傻。” 林婉道：“是，但是你看到他们的疯狂举动，就应该相信他们肯定很有把握那件东西真的是存在的。” 袁森想到阿尔泰山哈木巴尔阿塔神墓的遭遇，罗布泊伊比利斯魔鬼城下庞大的“灰猫计划”工程，现在回忆起来，他仍然心有余悸。他完全无法相信，在那个年代，国民党军队居然能够建造出那么先进的工程。 林婉道：“不只是国民党政府这么疯狂，后来的苏联，你们的新政府，还有我为之效力的美国，哪个不是这样，他们都为了那个东西几乎发疯，不计代价想得到它。” 袁森恍然记起深钻井外，那位苏联从欧洲聘请来的副总工程师的工作笔记，科拉深钻井里发掘出来的样本很像是一种神奇的武器，导致项目高级负责人全都死在大楼顶层里，死状凄惨奇怪，让人想不明白。 它真的是一件奇怪却毁灭力量无比巨大的武器？袁森脑子里反复推想着这个疑问，他的思维在逻辑推测与现实界限之间博弈，心里久久无法平静。 林婉道：“这个东西，就藏在翡翠琉璃宫里，我想你对这个地方应该不陌生吧？” 袁森瞪着林婉，心里直冒冷气，他真的觉得头脑不够用了，纵然他穷尽力量去理清这两者之间的联系，却一点线索都没有。 古老的翡翠宫与俄罗斯重要军事基地科拉半岛之间，会有什么关系呢？这中间隔的距离可不止十万八千里啊。
