Chapter 578: Mist. Small Underground City
Shangguan Hongxin and Captain Li couldn't bear to shoot the refugees, so they planned to give them some food and send them away. After questioning them, they also found out why they were there.
There was a treasure map circulating among the refugees, pointing to the Ilian Mountains, saying there was a place with food and clothing, warm in winter and cool in summer. They all paid for the map. The dead bearded man was only their 34th temporary manager.
When Shangguan Hongxin heard the result, he had only one thought in his mind: the location of the nuclear test base had been exposed, so he strengthened the alert and increased the patrol frequency that night. Han Xing led people to repair the nearby surveillance cameras that were damaged by spiders, but they could not take care of the places that were too far away for the time being.
Chu An disagreed with the decision to give food to the refugees, but this was the decision of Shangguan Hongxin and Captain Li, and she had no right to interfere. Soldiers are the last backbone of the nation and the soft red heart in the chest.
The previous director, deputy director or Song Yunfei would not do this. People who are involved in politics cannot stand firm unless they are ruthless. However, this allowed Chu An to successfully bring Li Qing and others into the base. They did not go underground, but rested in the lobby on the first floor.
Chu An asked Gu Ye to call Gangzi up, and told everyone to pack up and leave overnight. This was also a temporary decision. They had come here with so many people and had not encountered any wild animals, which meant that this section of the road and this time period were currently safe.
Lao Chu and Gangzi came up together and started the large-scale recognition of relatives, crying like rain. Mou Ci and Gu Ye helped to carry the luggage. They didn't have much stuff, but Shangguan Hongxin sent a lot. It was not the supplies in the base, but the supplies for their underground city. Chu An was a little curious about the word "underground city".
Shangguan Hongxin, "I was just about to take you down to have a look. I have something else to discuss with you."
Chu An explained a few things to Gu Ye and then went down with him. Gu Ye felt that since the big tall man had talked with Chu An in the duty room, he no longer had any hostility towards them but was unusually friendly.
"Where's Xiao An?" Old Chu came over with tears in his eyes and found that his daughter was missing.
"He was taken away by Captain Shangguan and will be back soon." After Gu Ye finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Han Xing said he had something for him, but now he was on a mission and the gift hadn't arrived yet. "Uncle Chu, what did Captain Han say to you before he left just now?"
Lao Chu thought back and said, "Ah, let me draw a picture."
Gu Ye frowned, "What picture?"
Old Chu looked mysterious, "It is said to be a soul-locking charm, to call back the soul of the child. It is a bit complicated, and he can't do it himself."
Gu Ye had never heard of this thing, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Didn't his son get poisoned by smoke? Why did he draw this thing?"
Lao Chu, "He's not his son. I heard from the loud speaker that he's another captain's child. He seems to be ill. After inhaling the mist, his body can't tolerate it and he's dying."
Gu Ye did not participate in the battle on the underground third floor and did not know who it was. Da Liu, who was carrying luggage at the side, pursed his lips and thought of the captain, wondering if it was his child.
......
On the negative twenty-seventh floor, Shangguan Hongxin brought Chu An to the core of the base, a place that was completely unimaginable unless you saw it with your own eyes.
Chu An was a little stunned. It really was an underground castle. The overall height was 20 meters, about the height of 5-6 floors. There was a fake sun above the head, which was actually an LED light that simulated the brightness of the sun. Shangguan Hongxin introduced that the fake sun turned on and off in sync with the time outside, and it could turn into the moon at night. Due to special circumstances these days, they all switched to daytime mode.
The place where they came down was the center of the castle, a small square that was no different from an ordinary square. The ground was paved with cement bricks, and there were fountains, stone benches, and various sculptures symbolizing unity.
Shangguan Hongxin began to introduce her that the entire square was about 200 square meters, surrounded by eight asphalt roads, leading to the accommodation area, training area, leisure area, etc.
The asphalt road is exactly the same as it was before the end of the world, with lanes and zebra crossings painted on it, sycamore trees planted on both sides, a green belt in the middle, and occasional flower beds.
"This is just a rough division of the area. It's about 80 square kilometers, equivalent to a small town with a population of 50,000." Shangguan Hongxin was quite proud and raised his hand to point forward, "That's the main living area."
Chu An looked up and saw many Chinese-style three-story buildings and basic water and electricity facilities. She found it very novel, but she was not envious. If she could live here for a year, it would be quite depressing to live here for a lifetime.
"Comrade Xiaoan, you are honest with me, and I am honest with you." Shangguan Hongxin suddenly became serious, "This is the second secret of the entire base, a small underground city. It was originally built to deal with the Third Century War. Now it seems that it will not be used, but since we have sworn an oath, we will definitely spend the rest of our lives protecting it."
Chu An felt that his eyes were bright when he said these words. This must be the power of faith.
"Thank you for your trust in me."
This is also one of the reasons why she could speak frankly to Shangguan Hongxin. Living underground for a lifetime is something that most people really cannot do.
She didn't go in. There were some staff members inside. Judging from their attire, they should be engineers or something like that. Shangguan Hongxin also introduced her to the town's artificial lake and rockery.
After a while, two people in yellow work clothes rode bicycles towards them, one old and one young.
Shangguan Hongxin immediately stopped introducing and stood up straight.
The two stopped about 50 meters away from them. The older one handed the car to the person next to him, then smiled and greeted him, "Are you Chu An?"
Chuan nodded, "I am."
Shangguan Hongxin saluted, "Hello, Chief."
Then he introduced to Chu An, "This is General Nie Shaoyan, the chief engineer of the nuclear test base."
Nie Shaoyan got straight to the point, "Chu An, don't worry, your situation is only known to me and Captain Shangguan. We are both people who have seen life and death and are not afraid of life and death. We will never reveal it to a third person. I can swear on my 50 years of age."
Chu An was mentally prepared, but seeing him so serious, he felt more comfortable.
"Since I have come down here, I believe in you."
After much deliberation, she finally decided to return the nuclear bomb to the base, but this only revealed the secret of space to Shangguan Hongxin. Shangguan Hongxin was surprised and said that it seemed impossible, as the nuclear bomb could not be returned to its original position after leaving the warehouse.
Alas, this was due to her lack of consideration and her knowledge level was not up to that level.
Shangguan Hongxin said that he wanted to talk to the chief engineer, which would inevitably expose her space secrets, but he repeatedly assured that those who entered the negative 27th floor had been audited and there would be no enemies. Chu An was not afraid of them now, not to mention that the nuclear bomb was still in his hands, so he met today.
"Teacher Nie, is there any way to get the nuclear bomb back into the warehouse?" Chu An was more concerned about this issue.
