Chapter 568: Mist. Gone
Shangguan Hongxin was originally the captain of the 02 Special Operations Force of the Southwest Theater, and was a colonel when he took over. Seven years ago, he was ordered to form the Yilian Garrison Special Operations Team, responsible for guarding the nuclear warehouse, and enjoyed military-level treatment and was promoted to major general.
He led 33 team members to stay at the negative 24-26 floors, but these were the floors known to the people in the base. There were actually 5 floors underground. There were underground rivers, hydroponic gardens and power generation equipment. All facilities were independent of the outside world. There were also special escape passages and destruction devices. As long as the interior did not collapse, they could live there for at least 100 years.
They were all carefully selected loyal guards with only one purpose, to live and die with the nuclear warehouse. Everyone left a will before coming here. In other words, their lives coexisted with the nuclear warehouse, and the moment the door was closed, they were dead to the outside world.
During their time at the base, they witnessed two internal struggles: one was Zou Xin's struggle before suicide, and the other was at the beginning of the end of the world, when all employees threatened to go on strike and demanded that the base take in their families.
Many people died in both internal fights, especially the second one, which could be said to be a destructive crisis, but they did not leave the negative 24th floor. The fight above, who wins or loses, has nothing to do with them, they have only one responsibility - to protect the nuclear warehouse.
But... this time they had no choice but to come out. The nuclear bombs they had guarded for seven years had all disappeared, all disappeared right under their noses.
When they were panicking and looking around, Zhe Xiguang suddenly appeared. After explaining his purpose, Shangguan Hongxin felt it necessary to go up and take a look. Of course, he didn't say that the nuclear bomb disappeared. This was too unbelievable, and he couldn't convince himself to believe it.
He monitored Zhe Xiguang opening the safe and asked his men to take out the suitcase. He could see that Zhe Xiguang looked unhappy, but at this time, he could only trust himself.
Zhe Xiguang was not a pushover either. He immediately acted like a deputy director and asked for a suitcase back, claiming that keeping them separately would prevent any danger.
The suitcase has a self-destruct device, so there is no need to worry about it being stolen even if there is only one person in it.
…
"Zhao Donglai, I'll give you one minute to think about it. When the time is up, I will show no mercy." Shangguan Hongxin gave the ultimatum in a cold voice.
These pedants are so annoying. They always ask for private power and want everyone to flatter and worship them. They are the center of attention and feel that their talents are not appreciated and their ambitions cannot be realized if things don’t go as they wish.
"No, no, no." Zhe Xiguang was a little anxious, "Without the antidote, everyone here will die."
Shangguan Hongxin, "When you are unable to eliminate the danger, I can take any action."
"I understand that it is my incompetence that has prevented me from managing the base properly, but there are still at least 1,800 people here, and they are all innocent. So, give me ten minutes and let me try again. If he is still stubborn after ten minutes, you can take action."
Zhe Xiguang didn't expect that when he was about to get the suitcase, this group of people suddenly rushed out.
The captain thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes."
Zhe Xiguang took two more steps forward and said, "Dr. Zhao, you may feel that Zou Xin is dead and has no one to rely on, and his life's work has been wasted. Please believe me, as long as you give me the antidote, I can also leave you a piece of pure land."
A pure land?
Someone once said that as long as you follow him, he will be left with a pure land where he can do whatever research he wants.
Seeing that he did not refute immediately, Zhe Xiguang's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "Dr. Zhao, I have read your research. Although we cannot understand it now, as long as it does not harm others, I can allow it to exist."
Zhao Donglai was stunned for a moment. Zou Xin also said that even if he couldn't understand it, he was still willing to support it. However, he said that it was okay even if it harmed other people, and he would take care of everything.
Zhao Donglai poked his head out and began to look Zhe Xiguang up and down, "You...you..."
"I can save your life." Zhe Xiguang quickly took over his words, "But you have to put down your weapon and give me the antidote, or whatever you want, I can exchange it with you as long as I have it."
Zhao Donglai's pupils shrank instantly. Zou Xin also said that he would give him whatever he wanted, and asked him what he wanted. He didn't completely believe Zou Xin at that time, and casually said that he wanted the most important thing in the base. Zou Xin smiled and said that it was a briefcase that could control nuclear bombs, but that thing was underground and was not under his control alone.
"I'm afraid even the director can't give you what you want, unless someone holds everyone in the base hostage, which is impossible. How can one person hold the entire base hostage? You should think of something more practical."
Thinking of this, Zhao Donglai's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up, and then he laughed wildly, and then he started crying, "I want a suitcase, I want a suitcase, give me the suitcase quickly."
