Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations
Chapter 9 Double Game
The road became increasingly difficult to walk, and finally everyone was blocked in a collapsed walkway. People with professional demolition equipment worked quickly, and large areas of construction waste were quickly cleared out, but the collapsed area seemed to be endless. The endless generals can’t be dug out at all.
A large number of follow-up personnel were called over, and everyone took turns digging. This made Jiang Yingxue and others who were supervising the work either solemn and cold, or full of sadness.
The collapse of the laboratory was more serious than expected. Most of the cavities in the entire area may have been buried by the debris. Only the important spiritual body sealing equipment survived.
In this way, the construction period will be extended unpredictably and indefinitely, and the probability of everyone encountering risks will soar crazily over time.
The excavation continued for another hour or two. The large amount of construction waste and earth and stone transportation made the excavation extremely slow, and the overall advancement progress was only about ten meters.
As the surrounding rooms are filled with earth and rocks, the subsequent excavation speed will only become slower.
Ivan's men originally came here to gamble their lives in exchange for money, but unexpectedly they ended up working as mining coolies. Everyone's morale became increasingly sluggish, and the sounds of sighs and backaches became louder and louder.
There is no need for the members of the Night Demon Society to take action, and there is no need for the mysterious spirit to show its power. Everyone will be instantly destroyed by the infinite earth and stone in front of them.
"It's almost impossible to bring construction machinery over, we have to move it manually. We have searched for so long, but we haven't found any schematic diagram of the base structure.
Ivan, either you can find more trustworthy manpower to work as coolies, or your people can stay here and continue to dig. If you find any valuable clues, you can continue to come to me. "
I originally thought I could get to the core of the truth quickly, but I didn't expect that it was still a high-risk dead end. Coupled with Iwan's obedient attitude, Jiang Yingxue's patience had obviously been exhausted to the end.
If Jiang Yingxue retreats like this, not only will he take away the most powerful personnel and equipment, but Ivan will also have to bear all subsequent risks. If nothing is gained here in the end, Ivan himself will be the only one who loses blood.
Jiang Yingxue made full use of her status as an investor to oppress Ivan, and truly declared to him her absolute dominance.
Whether it was to retaliate against Ivan's previous imminent move, to urge Ivan to be honest to the maximum extent, or simply to reduce the risk of his own actions, Jiang Yingxue's political skills were indeed superb.
Ivan has been forced into a corner, or in other words, the project in his hands has temporarily lost value. If he wants to avoid being divested, he can only come up with a better plan to solve the current obstacles.
Jiang Yingxue is just an investor, and Ivan is the implementer of the overall plan. Jiang Yingxue cannot use his precious resources to hollow out the entire mountain, because this is beyond the risk range of investment.
Forced into a desperate situation, Ivan was about to lose everything, and died tragically just one step away from the door to success. This was an outcome he could not bear.
Finally realizing the limitations of his status as a worker, he gritted his teeth and took out a booklet. Bai Ning was familiar with it. This was what Ivan got when he first entered the base.
This old boy really hid a lot of important information!
"This is just a book of commuting information for ordinary logistics personnel. It doesn't make any sense to ordinary people, but in my grandfather's eyes, this is a living map of the base.
Although the eating, drinking, and eating habits in the base are similar, the little hobbies of some important scientific researchers must still be satisfied.
Based on this logistical information, it is very easy to locate these researchers even if they do not know their names.
What's more, my grandfather is quite familiar with some of the logistics staff, which makes it easier to collect various information.
Overall, my grandfather is the person who knows this base best. "
These are truly a pair of grandfathers and grandsons, both of whom have 1 ideas. The natural beards are a natural cover, giving them a sense of rugged and bold charm.
"Now that the road has completely collapsed, what's the use of understanding the overall layout of the base?"
Jiang Yingxue was obviously not very satisfied with Ivan's answer, and such a result did not make any sense.
"I haven't finished speaking yet.
There are two independent exhaust systems in the base, which my grandfather learned about while drinking with a maintenance staff.
One of them exists in the ceiling of each room, and the other is embedded in the rocks of the mountain. If we can find the hidden exhaust hole, the subsequent excavation progress will be much faster. "
Ivan's suggestion is not very reliable, but it is indeed the only way to reduce the workload at present.
"How can you be sure that these embedded ventilation pipes have not been blown down? You must know that there are a lot of rocks and soil mixed in these collapsed objects."
As an investor, Jiang Yingxue was still dissatisfied with Ivan's response. After arriving at the core area along the ventilation duct, it would be meaningless if the inside completely collapsed.
“During the excavation process, I discovered a cavity for a vent, and the passage inside is still intact.
In addition, even if there were subsequent teams that blew up the passage, they would only dare to place bombs on the periphery of the core area.
After all, the emergency in the laboratory was the fundamental reason for the military's retreat, and the too dangerous core area was not within their scope of consideration. "
Ivan seemed very confident at this time, or in other words, he had to be confident, because this was the only way he could go.
"Okay. I'll give you another two hours."
The darker the night, the more likely the team will be attacked by spirits. It is absolutely impossible to stay up all night tonight. This is indeed Ivan's last chance.
Regardless of whether Jiang Yingxue wants to give up Ivan's investment project midway, her current combination of power tactics has indeed made Ivan dizzy, and he can only temporarily obey Jiang Yingxue's arrangements.
Those in superior positions are most afraid of having their subordinates catch their favorite points, let alone some obsessions that must be achieved. Only when the subordinates feel that God's power is unpredictable will they do their job honestly.
This Ivan may indeed be a little clever, but after the continuous confrontation of tactics, he is indeed no match for Jiang Yingxue.
In order to show his sincerity, Ivan climbed into the stone tunnel himself. The small size of the cavity made him move slowly, but in the video footage transmitted back, Ivan's breathing was still steady.
After crawling forward for more than 100 meters, a cavity extending downward suddenly appeared. This cavity was only about the size of a palm and a half, and it was a very obvious anti-intrusion design.
Taking out the long rope that had been prepared, the camera and light source were lowered into the vent. Through the screen, you can see that there is a large cavity inside, which should be the surviving part of the subsequent laboratory.
Such results have proven what Ivan said before, but it is difficult to deploy the excavation equipment in the narrow channel. It will be difficult to open the communication channel between the tunnel and the follow-up laboratory tonight.
"Third brother, bring the things in."
Just when Bai Ning thought that Ivan had to give up, or make up some delaying interface based on the current situation, Ivan actually called the lean third child through the intercom.
After receiving the order, the thin monkey Lao San carried the equipment and got into the ventilation tunnel. His lean body shape and the special equipment he had prepared long ago showed that Ivan had already preset the current conditions before entering the base. Dilemma.
Even though he knew everything, he still pretended to be confused the whole time. Ivan's actions made the expression on Jiang Yingxue's face become even more gloomy.
Not long after, Ivan and Skinny Monkey Lao San climbed out one after another after placing the directional bombs. There was no strange look on their faces, as if no one could understand his hiding behavior.
"Boss, the bomb that detonates the vent may cause the collapse of a local area. At that time, deep excavation may still be required, and the two-hour budget may not be enough."
Ivan, who was supposed to be very proud, was rubbing his hands and showing a lack of confidence. Bai Ning could vaguely feel that Jiang Yingxue seemed to want to strangle the bearded man in front of him.
Indeed. Ivan's behavior of knowingly asking questions was obviously making implicit conditions.
"Everything goes according to your plan."
Jiang Yingxue's promise seems to have agreed to everything, but also seems to have given nothing. This is the charm of language and the essence of advanced power skills.
As if he didn't notice Jiang Yingxue's displeasure, Ivan chuckled twice, with a bold and relaxed look on his face, as if all his goals had been achieved.
"Yes, boss."
After Ivan finished speaking, he pressed the button in his hand, and a series of dull explosions sounded immediately, accompanied by the faint roar of heavy objects falling to the ground.
There was not much dust coming out of the ventilation tunnel, which was enough to show that Ivan's blasting methods were extremely clever, and the results of the blasting were self-evident.
"Boss, it should be done."
Ivan first said hello with a grin, and then waved his hand to signal the thin monkey Lao San to go explore again.
Jiang Yingxue ignored Ivan and just stared at the video feedback screen. The thin monkey Lao San was wearing a gas mask and crawled very quickly. He soon reached the entrance of the collapsed cave. Lao San stepped on the pile of rocks and turned over and landed smoothly. The camera looked around, and it was so calm that it was a bit dull.
"Boss, everything goes well. Send people to establish an outpost as soon as possible. Otherwise, things will change if you wait too long."
Ivan's words made Bai Ning instantly alert. The word he used was "everything goes well", not "everything is safe". I don't know if it was Bo Xinshan's translation problem, but there was obviously something wrong with his eager attitude.
A large number of follow-up personnel were called over, and everyone took turns digging. This made Jiang Yingxue and others who were supervising the work either solemn and cold, or full of sadness.
The collapse of the laboratory was more serious than expected. Most of the cavities in the entire area may have been buried by the debris. Only the important spiritual body sealing equipment survived.
