Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 924 The Base
Fifteen minutes later, the vehicle driven by Liang En and the others entered the mountainous area. Like the surrounding environment, the environment here was also very harsh, with almost no vegetation.But at the same time, the mountains in this area block the sun and strong winds, so a lot of traces of the past are also preserved on the mountains, even as they were decades ago.

So on the way, Liang En and the others found that the stone walls on both sides had obvious traces of artificial excavation, and there were even a few places that were obviously caused by the use of explosives.

"There is no doubt that this is a customary practice of engineers." Liang En said while driving the car carefully while holding the steering wheel tightly. "Only the army would use a lot of explosives to clear the way in a hurry."

This road doesn't look very wide, and it would be dangerous to change to a wider vehicle. At this time, Liang En began to rejoice that he rented a narrower off-road vehicle.

But having said that, it is not correct to insist that this place is very narrow. At least in Liang En's opinion, the ten-wheel Dodge trucks commonly used in the United States during World War II can pass if they are driven carefully.

But Liang En and the others had to get out of the car when they were 60 meters away from the destination, because the road ahead was completely blocked by falling stones.

"That's right, it's a new explosion, and the age of the explosion will not exceed five years." Liang En said to Joan of Arc after carefully studying the traces at the scene.

"It seems that my previous guess was correct. There should indeed be some kind of special building hidden here. It is likely to be some military facilities that were very important in the past but have now been abandoned."

But even if they guessed what the building was, they could only choose to give up the vehicle and climb over the pile of rubble for the rest of the journey and walk forward.

"Sure enough, we guessed correctly. This is indeed an American military base." When they climbed over the gravel and walked tens of meters and walked out of a valley, they found a barbed wire fence in front of them. It is an iron gate.

The reason why Liang En determined that this place is a US military base is because the gate that can pass through the truck is written with mottled paint: US Army Property

After seeing this scene, Liang En and Joan of Arc immediately stopped and looked at the building in front of them. At the same time, they used the ravens released after getting off the car to start investigation.

Although from the perspective of the outside world, there is a high probability that this place should have been abandoned, but even if some military bases are abandoned, there will still be personnel or some equipment guarding them.

For example, Liang En heard a similar incident from a compatriot who was active in Russia when he was at the exchange meeting before, a story about a certain unlucky Finn.

That guy accidentally discovered a completely abandoned Russian military base in the forest not far from Petersburg, so he wanted to go in and see what was new and find out if there were any souvenirs worth taking away.

What I didn't expect was that he was caught by the Russian soldiers on duty just after climbing over the wall, and was interrogated for three consecutive days before being released after his identity was confirmed.

After getting out, the unlucky man realized that although the military base was sealed off, there was a patrol team of more than 50 people on duty 24 hours a day.As for the dilapidated appearance, it is only because of lack of money.

Now, the military base in front of Liang En and the others looked very similar to the military base in the story. Although the explosion outside made it extremely unlikely that there were soldiers stationed here, the possibility of some electronic equipment was just the opposite.

Fortunately, after Duan Ya's investigation, Liang En was able to confirm that there was indeed no camera or alarm in this place.This also greatly facilitated Liang En's execution of his plan.

"This door should be opened or closed by a machine." After checking the heavy door, Liang En murmured in a low voice, because now he could be sure of the cold war-style explosion-proof door in front of him.

A simple conclusion can be deduced from this, that is, this area was probably built in the Second World War, but it has been used until the Cold War.

Like this explosion-proof door, Liang En will definitely not be able to open it, even if it is strengthened, it is impossible for you, after all, the body cannot compete with dozens of tons of metal.

But opening this thing is much easier than imagined, because there is a small door behind a stone on the side of this door that allows ordinary people to enter, and for Liang En, he can easily open this door with extraordinary power .

With the use of extraordinary power, the lock of this anti-theft door melted as quickly as heated wax, and then the door opened smoothly.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the gate was well maintained, even the lubricating oil hadn't completely dried out, so apart from being a little louder at the beginning, the whole gate opened very silkily and revealed the tunnel behind .

It's just that Liang En and the others didn't go in, but let the raven enter this seemingly deep tunnel to conduct investigations after making sure that the air inside was circulating.

Different from those ordinary ravens, these repeatedly strengthened ravens have night vision similar to nocturnal animals, so after hanging a small light source on their chests, they easily completed most of the investigations.

There is nothing in the tunnel going down and deep into the mountain except for the lights on the roof. At the same time, Raven confirmed that there is no electricity in this secret base after touching the switch.

Unlike ordinary tunnels, this tunnel does not go all the way to the end, but twists and turns. It was obviously built intentionally for how to resist the blast shock waves in wartime conditions.

After inspection, Liang En and the others were able to confirm that this was the living area and where the equipment was placed.As for the space behind the large explosion-proof door, it should probably be just a garage or a warehouse.

It's just that after inspecting several key parts, they found that almost all the equipment had been dismantled, including most of the spare diesel generators and various personal items.

So when the ravens came back, they could only judge what the house used to be based on the house number and the size of the room in the information they brought.

"This should be a logistics base, the kind of second-line base that is not very important." Liang En said after recalling what he saw just now.

"At least it can be easily seen from the road just now and the facilities here. If it is a core warehouse, at least the road outside will not be so narrow."

"But judging from the scale of the warehouse, it is not easy to build such a warehouse even with the existing mountain space, so I guess this should be a special civil defense node."

Whether it was when World War II broke out or during the Cold War, Americans have always been afraid of invaders or nuclear bombs falling, so it is natural for them to build a large number of defensive buildings to avoid such things from happening.

The same is likely to be true for this base hidden in the mountains not far from Las Vegas. This is likely to be an important logistics base and refuge in this area, mainly used to preserve some important materials during the war.
