As the stone walls closed, the elevator began to descend. Xu Jianguo stood in the elevator and looked around. He found that there were no buttons in the elevator. He thought it must be controlled from the outside.
Xu Jianguo didn't know how fast the elevator was falling, but they had been standing in the elevator for several minutes. If calculated at a speed of one meter per second, they had actually descended hundreds of meters at this time.
Finally, with a slight vibration, the elevator stopped steadily, and then the elevator door opened. Xu Jianguo followed Wu Dajiang and others out of the elevator and came to an independent room similar to the one above. There were also more than a dozen soldiers armed with live ammunition standing here. When they saw Wu Dajiang coming out, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.
After Wu Dajiang returned the greeting, he turned to Xu Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, this is the second checkpoint. We need to check it again here."
Xu Jianguo nodded to show his understanding.
At this time, two soldiers came over with something similar to a metal detector in their hands and checked Xu Jianguo's body and backpack.
After the inspection, the two soldiers stepped aside, and then a soldier with the rank of captain walked to the table and pressed the red button on it.
As the button was pressed, a red light flashed again on the stone wall not far away, and then the stone wall slowly opened. Wu Dajiang walked over first, followed by Xu Jianguo.
Several people walked into the stone wall and came to a hall with an area of thousands of square meters. The top of the hall was the mountain. There was a big lamp embedded in the mountain every twenty meters or so, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Xu Jianguo looked at the huge space in front of him and the hundreds of busy figures in military uniforms, and suddenly stood there in a daze.
Wu Dajiang turned to look at Xu Jianguo, smiled and said, "Jianguo, welcome to the Black Mountain Base!"
Xu Jianguo was awakened by the sound, and when he came to his senses, he said, "Thank you, Chief. It is my honor to work here!"
Wu Dajiang nodded and said to a young soldier beside him, "Xiao Zhao!"
"Here!" the young soldier answered and ran to Wu Dajiang's side.
"Come, Jianguo, let me introduce you. This is my guard Zhao Gang. He will take you to the dormitory later. After you settle in, you can go to the cafeteria for dinner. Have a good rest today and we will talk about work tomorrow." Wu Dajiang said.
"Commander, didn't you just say that someone was waiting for me? Don't you want to meet them?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"It's almost eight o'clock now. There's no need to rush to meet. You should settle down first and have a good rest. We can talk about work tomorrow." Wu Dajiang said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Xu Jianguo said, and then followed Zhao Gang away.
Wu Dajiang stood there, looking at Xu Jianguo's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became serious.
"Luo Yao!" Wu Dajiang said in a low voice.
"Here!" A big man with a black face walked forward.
"I don't care what method you use, I want to see the detailed information of Xu Jianguo's parents before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Wu Dajiang's words made the others look stern, especially Yue Yang and Xing Bin. They looked at each other and felt a solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Luo Yao said and turned to leave.
After Luo Yao left, Wu Dajiang said to the others, "From now on, no one is allowed to discuss matters related to Xu Jianguo. Anyone who disobeys this order will be punished by military law!"
"Yes!" everyone answered.
"Zhao Lei, have your people keep an eye on Xu Jianguo. Don't let him get close to anyone until the matter is thoroughly investigated."
"yes!"
After Wu Dajiang finished arranging everything, he took his men away, leaving only Zhao Lei, Yue Yang, and Xing Bin. Zhao Lei looked at the two and said, "You two go back and write me a report detailing everything that happened during your mission. Don't hide anything."
"Yes, Captain!"
Wu Dajiang came to the bottom floor of the base, walked into his office, lit a cigarette and sat on the chair. There was a hint of worry in his eyes hidden behind the smoke.
Putting out his cigarette, Wu Dajiang picked up the phone on the table. After the person on the other end picked up the call, he said, "Leader, this is Wu Dajiang. I have something to report to you..."
Xu Jianguo followed Zhao Gang to his dormitory, which was located two floors below the hall and could be reached through stairs carved out of the stone wall. There were guards at the entrance and exit of each staircase.
The dormitory is a single room dug out by hand. It is not large, only about 20 square meters. The layout inside is very simple, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs. The toilet and bathroom are shared and are at the end of each floor.
"Comrade Xu Jianguo, let's go. I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner!" Zhao Gang said.
"OK, thanks!"
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Xu Jianguo returned to the dormitory after dinner. He took the washbasin and toiletries allocated by the base and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Back in the dormitory, lying on the bed, staring at the stone wall above his head, Xu Jianguo's brows gradually furrowed.
Xu Jianguo had a feeling that Wu Dajiang, the commander of the Black Mountain Base, seemed to have something wrong with his attitude towards him after he inquired about some of his basic situation. Although he was still smiling, there was a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.
Xu Jianguo was a little worried. In his memories of this life, he didn't know whether his father Xu Maotian knew kung fu, nor did he know whether his mother Ge Ruzhen could speak foreign languages. But in his memory, it was true that his parents didn't teach him anything. This became his biggest flaw. If someone really kept holding on to this point, it would probably bring him trouble, and might even hurt Wen Sitian and Fu Niu.
