Chapter 176: Single Page of Family Tree
Xu Yancheng thought about it, walked to the place where the switch was hanging on the wall, took out the dagger he carried with him, and removed the switch in no time.
Next, he put on insulating gloves and cut off a piece of wire with scissors.
The trees in the forest were so tall that the sun was barely visible at five o'clock. Ruan Anan picked up a flashlight and went over to him to illuminate the wires so that he could see them more clearly.
After a careful inspection, Xu Yancheng came to a conclusion, "This place has been abandoned for at least twenty years. Judging from the time, a large number of people must have moved away before we liberated Nansha Island."
Zhu Yaoyao sighed in frustration and spread out his marching blanket. "My guess was right, but they've already run away."
"Not necessarily." Ruan Anan looked around. "Just because the management has moved out doesn't mean the frontline researchers can move out too."
"Xiao Li is only eighteen years old this year. If he accidentally became a test subject when he went into the mountains at a certain age, it means that a group of them are trapped deep in the mountains."
“Even if we had stockpiled a lot of supplies back then, it would be impossible to use them now.”
Xiao Li and Wu Wei have already started leading people to light a fire in the old fireplace.
It's more like they built a fort on this small island on the border than a house.
The wall was several dozen centimeters thick. Ruan Anan had only seen such thick walls in the historical sites in her previous life.
Qi Chi and Xu Yancheng laid out bedding for everyone, "I understand. There should be a secret base in the mountains."
"Either they are all dead now, or they have always had a way to communicate with the outside world and obtain supplies, right?"
"Yes." Xu Yancheng didn't comment and handed a wax apple to Ruan Anan and Zhu Yaoyao. "If they are still alive, it would be interesting."
interesting?
Ruan Anan was confused. Isn't this a very serious matter?
Why is there a hint of excitement in Xu Yancheng's eyes?
Looking at the people who were lighting the fire and preparing to cook, they were all equally excited. Even Qi Chi, who was usually the most serious, had a strange light in his eyes.
Looking at Zhu Yaoyao again, he was already sitting on the mattress he had laid out and started to wipe the knife.
Ruan Anan swallowed nervously, looking at the people who were completely different from those in the military area, and finally reacted.
The Nansha Islands are not a mirage, they are still a war preparation area.
It can be said that everyone from young to old is a soldier, not to mention the soldiers in the military region.
Good, good, good!
There was really no fear of facing war in everyone's eyes, only a longing to open a single page in the family tree.
Come to think of it, which Chinese person can resist the temptation of having a separate family tree?
She wants to too.
However, she doesn't know much about fighting, but she can still use her brain.
If the people in the mountains are still alive, how do they get supplies?
You can't live like a primitive man for more than 20 years, right?
not to mention……
Moreover, the back of the mountain is surrounded by cliffs, which are extremely steep and dangerous. There are also navy ships patrolling there all year round. The back of the mountain is definitely not their source of supplies.
Then, there is only one way to go up and down.
Ruan Anan thought of the purely free trade market on the dock, where traders from Fujian City would come to sell goods every two weeks.
Of course, they would also take away the seafood produced by the fishermen themselves and sell it back in Min City.
Most of the things they buy are obtained from illegal channels. To put it nicely, they are imported goods, and to put it bluntly, they are smuggled.
Therefore, the vendors in the market at the dock are not necessarily the same every time.
If we can count the merchants who come to the dock to sell goods every two weeks in recent years, and then conduct a screening investigation, we should be able to find the person who has contact with the people in the mountains.
Just as I was thinking about it, the old-fashioned fireplace was finally lit.
The temperature in the empty hall suddenly rose.
It is very cold in the mountains at night, with temperatures basically around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius above zero.
Although it won’t freeze people to death, it is still unbearable.
Ruan Anan stood up and walked to the fireplace to warm herself. The flickering flames made half of her face flush red. "This house looks like it must be several thousand square meters."
"Yes!" Xiao Li and Wu Wei set up a simple iron pot together. "There are two more floors upstairs. I remember meeting an old hunter here."
"He said the house was built strangely. A house this big shouldn't have a basement."
"But we walked around four or five times and couldn't find the entrance to the basement."
"Oh?" Ruan Anan became interested and joined them in washing the mushrooms they stepped on on the road in a basin. "The old hunter is quite interesting. He even knows about architecture."
"Hehe!" Xiao Li said embarrassedly, "People here used to be poor. After finding this house, they wanted to see if there was a basement."
"Because those outsiders like to hide good things in the basement."
That's right. Ruan Anan thought about the supplies seized in the basement next to Hai City. Even if she took out any of them, it would be enough to cause a sensation.
Especially guns, ammunition, grenades and so on.
The old hunter's idea was correct, but he was still one step short of the target.
Because, there must be one in the basement. The space has been detected, so it must be the entrance...
Ruan Anan looked around and said, "It's so spacious, it shouldn't be impossible to find the entrance to the basement."
Xu Yancheng looked at Ruan Anan thoughtfully, and began to check the floor tiles one by one from the corner.
The way to check is very simple, just step on it.
The sound feedback from hollow tiles and solid tiles is different.
Especially those inconspicuous corners and edges should be treated with caution.
Qi Chi and Zhu Yaoyao also joined in checking the floor tiles, since they had nothing to do anyway.
If we really seized some supplies, we could brag about it for the rest of our lives.
Xiao Li shrugged nonchalantly, "If you're the main one looking, you'll have to be more careful. After all, the old hunter and I would have turned the house upside down by then."
Ah, this...
Ruan Anan glanced leisurely towards the front door. If the entrance to the basement was not inside the house, then it must be outside the house?
What on earth is this thing that requires a whole hidden entrance.
As expected, Xu Yancheng and others quickly checked the house again and found that there was indeed no entrance to the basement.
Ruan Anan blinked her big eyes and looked at Xu Yancheng, "What do you think?"
"There's indeed a problem." Xu Yancheng pointed at the floor tiles and said, "A house with this structure should have a basement."
"It's not necessarily to hide supplies, but they like to dig a dungeon underground."
Everyone was silent.
It goes without saying what this dungeon is for.
Everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong. If this house was really a command center, it was not certain whether it had a basement for storing supplies.
But there must be a dungeon that is hidden from the public.
So no matter how you look at it, there are problems with the structure of this house.
