Chapter 533: Mist. Lao Chu enters the base
Lao Chu and others got off the car and followed many people around almost half of the base but still couldn't get in. Fortunately, the injured were carried on stretchers by soldiers and they didn't have to do anything.
He kept looking at them. They were not very old, only about 20 years old, and they were not dressed like the soldiers led by Captain Li. They might be guards of the base or refugees who were temporarily recruited as soldiers.
Seeing that he looked friendly, Lao Chu tried to get closer to him and said, "Hey, sir, where are we going?"
Many glanced at him, trying to show some authority, but his baby face couldn't be stern, so he could only raise his tone a little, "You'll know when you get there, talk less, and cooperate with the investigation."
"Cooperate. We agreed to cooperate. It's just that... we came to a strange place and felt nervous."
Many people stopped talking, and the section chief asked them to talk less.
Lao Chu didn't care, muttering to himself, "We are so miserable. We met bullies outside, our food was taken away, and they chased us into the forest.
Alas, we thought we would be saved once we entered the forest, but we encountered red ants, jackals, giant snakes, and big gray wolves. It was a narrow escape. If we hadn’t met you, we might not have been able to get out of that desert.”
Many people have also encountered fire ants and feel a little sympathetic towards them.
"By the way, what kind of high-tech is that blue light at the door? I see there's a layer of mist inside, what is that? How many people are there here? Have you seen any spiders? There are many."
"Shut up." Many of the soldiers who didn't say anything and were carrying Zu Yang and others behind them couldn't stand it anymore. How could this person be more slow-witted than Tang Seng?
Wang Guan and Da Liu smiled, while Zhou Zhou and Guozi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
At this moment, Wu Mengmeng suddenly fainted.
She was always walking at the back, with her head down so her face couldn't be seen clearly, and she walked unsteadily, so everyone thought she was hungry.
The soldiers escorting behind rushed to help her, but Sun Hao got there first and helped her up. "It's okay, it's okay. She's hungry and has a slight fever."
Others didn't want to get into trouble and went back.
"We will give you food in a while." Many people in the front said with a stern face, "Take good care of your companions, they will be here soon."
Finally, after walking around two-thirds of the base, everyone walked into a small iron door. Inside was an elevator room with four elevators.
Lao Chu, Lao Nian, Guozi, Wang Siyu, Sun Hao and Wu Mengmeng boarded the first elevator. Lao Nian wanted to take Wang Qiang but was stopped. He didn't want to cause trouble and thought that they would all come down together anyway, so he didn't dwell on it.
A middle-aged guard with a square face entered Lao Chu's elevator, but did not close the door in a hurry. He waited until other people got on the elevator before pressing the close door button.
Wang Qiang and several other unconscious people were carried into the second elevator, which was a freight elevator. Da Liu, Wang Guan and Zhou Zhou took the third elevator, and there were four soldiers following each elevator. Many of them did not take Lao Chu's elevator, but took Da Liu's.
"Oh, isn't the young commander going to join us?" Lao Chu asked hurriedly, but the elevator door closed quickly and no one answered him.
The elevator was moving downwards, and Lao Chu took a look and found that there were actually 26 floors underground. The most he had seen before was 12 floors, but the square-faced man pressed the minus 12th floor.
The elevator ran very fast and no one got on during the journey. It arrived soon after. After Lao Chu and others stepped out of the elevator, they did not see anyone else.
"Where are they?" Laonian was shocked and grabbed the square-faced man's arm.
"Let me go." The square-faced man did not take action, but his face was gloomy. It was obvious that he did not like being caught, especially by the sloppy person in front of him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Chu hurried forward to persuade Lao Nian that this was someone else's territory and he should be more low-key. Lao Nian did not buy it. He thought that without Wang Qiang, he might as well die. He had no intention of giving in.
Seeing that the people around him were about to take action, Lao Chu hurriedly pried Lao Ni's fingers off his arms one by one, and said in a hushing voice, "Stop making trouble, wait for Xiao An, and no one will be left behind."
Lao Ni's face was tense, but his fingers were loose. Lao Chu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the square-faced man, "The unconscious man in there is his son. Please be considerate."
The square-faced man's expression also relaxed. Since the end of the world, some family ties have gradually become indifferent, while others have become stronger. He has experienced this deeply.
"Follow me, don't look around, don't think about starting trouble, don't think about running away." The square-faced man led the way and warned, "You'd better be obedient when you get here. Being obedient can save your life."
"Yes, yes." Lao Chu responded, "What about our companions?"
"The injured were sent to the medical center. There are doctors there, but don't expect us to save anyone. There is a shortage of doctors and medicine everywhere right now."
"I understand, I understand." Lao Chu gave them a little red flower in his heart. He thought it was humane.
"What about us?" he asked again, while also observing the situation around him.
The passage they walked through was made of special white panels, including the ceiling, which seemed to be integrated. The door was a tempered side-pull electric iron door, which was wider than an ordinary door but narrower than a double door. The light above was also the most energy-saving built-in LED light. The vent was not on the ceiling, but on the ground, so people could never climb in.
"You will be isolated for investigation and placed in the solitary confinement room for the time being. Someone will be investigating and interrogating you."
"Why don't you interrogate them together? Where are my neighbors being held by you?"
"Why do you have so many questions?" the person behind me said impatiently and unhappily.
Lao Chu smiled and said, "This isn't my first time here. It would be nice if I could come here a few more times to gain some experience."
"Come a few more times, do you think this is your living room?"
"Xiao Liu." The square-faced man said angrily.
Xiao Liu fell silent and rolled his eyes at Lao Chu, who looked like a greasy uncle and didn't deserve any sympathy.
They walked for ten minutes and saw only guards wearing the same clothes as the square-faced man, but no real soldiers.
There are a lot of corners here, and we have turned three so far.
Lao Chu has a pretty good memory and can basically remember the routes he has walked. Lao Nian also has sharp eyes and has seen more things than Lao Chu. He has even found an escape route. Guozi walks on the other side of Lao Chu, ready to protect him at all times.
Following behind were Sun Hao, Wu Mengmeng and Wang Siyu, who could not care less. Sun Hao carried Wu Mengmeng on his back, while Wang Siyu followed closely beside him.
Lao Chu couldn't help but want to speak again, "Sir, now that we're done with the interrogation, can we leave?"
The square-faced man paused for a moment. The interrogation was over and those without any problems could leave, but it seemed that no one was without a problem yet.
"If there's no problem, you can leave." He answered vaguely, but he didn't lie.
Several people walked to an electronic door, and the square-faced man verified his iris, and the electronic door opened. Inside was a public office area of about 200 square meters, with a four-story high platform in the middle, about 60 to 70 square meters, and a circle of electronic screens on top.
All the screens were facing away from them, so they couldn't see the images clearly, but they knew they were monitoring the surrounding isolation rooms.
There are isolation rooms all around here, a bit like prison cells, one next to the other, blocked by iron railings. The small cells are about 5 or 6 square meters, and the big ones are about 15 or 16 square meters. There are 24 in total, forming a circle.
There was a guard in front of each cell, equipped with an electric baton and a tranquilizer gun. Lao Chu didn't know what a tranquilizer gun was, Guozi told him about it secretly.
There were quite a few people in the cell, two-thirds of them were occupied, some with just one, and some with three or five.
The square-faced man went to the steps to register and then handed them over to the guard leader here, a fat man in his forties, wearing glasses and looking friendly.
"Old Ge, I'm leaving." The square-faced man glanced at Old Chu and turned to leave.
Old Ge arranged them in two cells. Old Chu and Sun Hao were put in cell 8, where there were two other people with untidy beards and whose ages could not be seen. The rest were locked up in the empty cell in cell 12.
