[Yu Huang] Underground fire
Chapter 1 Responsibility
Huang Shaotian walked through the suspended corridor surrounded by four escorts.It was late at night in this dungeon, and the artificial daylight equipment on the top floor was all turned off. The vehicles that slid past the tracks silently hung up the shining traffic lights, like real stars twinkling under the dark dome.
When he passed a window, he stopped and looked outside. From this angle, he could clearly see the torrent of the carnival parade rushing towards the bridge along with the sequence of floats.People immersed in joy waved their colored decorations and lanterns, forming a bright river of light between the outlines of the street. Just like the entire underground city shrouded in festive atmosphere, it must be full of deafening noise and laughter.
Such moments are rare for dungeons.In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a city as cold as steel. Everything is precise, orderly, and unquestionable. It operates according to some harsh laws that are difficult to deduce. Everything that hinders it will be crushed under the rolling gears. .With the inflow of more residents in recent years, an outer city has formed around the inner city that was originally closed and managed, so that the place that relies on artificial light lighting all the time at this time finally has a little bit of freshness.
But neither the carnival vibe nor the sizzling noise belonged where they were walking.This is the central base of the inner city. From this suspended corridor, you can overlook the whole picture of the underground city.Under the earth, at the highest point of the city, there will always be a silence that is better than the wilderness, day and night.
Huang Shaotian and his party have come to the end of the corridor and landed along the transparent spiral escalator.The four staff members who were sent to greet him were all young girls, and they wore old-fashioned silver-gray uniforms. Those who work in this industry need to have the characteristics of being shrewd and capable, but they cannot show this too much on the outside.One of them said softly, "The general is in the front room."
"What is he doing?" Huang Shaotian stopped outside the door.
The girl hesitated to speak.Huang Shaotian didn't show any intention of verifying it himself, nor did he seem to intend to urge her, but just stared at her silently until the other party had to continue talking. "He's interrogating himself," she said as lightly as possible, "a suspect."
"Oh, is the law and order in the dungeon so bad now?" Huang Shaotian glanced at her.
"The management of our inner city is absolutely strict." The girl replied immediately, "But the general thinks that sometimes it is necessary to properly observe the people's conditions."
Huang Shaotian nodded, and said to himself, "Then I don't think he would mind if I went to watch."
Absolutely mind!The girl roared in her heart.
When she was sent to receive this troublesome man from the local army, she was ready to face all kinds of unlikable guys, but this man in front of her was beyond her expectations.He maintained basic courtesy to the people around him, didn't talk much, and never made any special requests for pleasure - such things were quite common - and he was very cooperative when asked to check the information.But he has a kind of arrogance from the heart, and a character that doesn't read other people's faces at all. The concepts of privacy and avoidance seem to have never been written in his dictionary.For example, if there is something that makes him curious, he will disregard any objections and take it apart for research, no matter if it is a rabbit or the latest technology accelerator...the two seem to be very different No, for him, it can be simply classified into the category of "you can't put it back together after taking it apart".
Huang Shaotian had already knocked twice on the door unceremoniously.Soon someone opened the door a crack, and when he saw the people standing outside, he showed a look of astonishment, as if he didn't quite understand why a strange guy would disturb him at this time.
"You are..." he hesitated.
An accompanying person hurried forward and said in a low voice, "This is a guest invited by the general, Mr. Liaison Officer from the local army."
The expression of the person inside the door changed, he said hello to Huang Shaotian, and retreated into the door faster than when he came out.Ten seconds later, he opened the door again, bowed and said, "Please come in, the general is waiting for you."
Wait a bit, Huang Shaotian thought, as if I didn't know that you guys were scolding me for not giving me a wink.
There was only one table and one chair in the long, narrow room.The general is about 50 years old, with short gray and white hair combed neatly, and a pair of round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, which looks especially strange indoors at night.He smiled at Huang Shaotian: "Mr. Liaison Officer?"
It looked more like a fake smile, but Huang Shaotian felt that he tried his best.
"Good evening, General." He nodded. "I hope I didn't disturb you."
The two assistants behind the general also wore sunglasses. They sullenly tried not to show their dissatisfaction with this guy.The general smiled, and pulled away the only chair in his room: "Sit and watch, Mr. Liaison Officer?"
"No need." Huang Shaotian shook his head politely.Then he turned over neatly and sat down at the long table.
General: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't turn his face against the local army for the time being, he really wanted to beat this young bastard all over his face.However, he also expected this situation. In the data, the eccentric and annoying temper of the No. [-] liaison officer is as impressive as his outstanding work ability.
The entire wall next to Huang Shaotian was made of tea-colored glass. He turned his head and looked over, and there was an interrogation that didn't look interesting in the next room.The suspect was handcuffed in a hard chair, facing the interrogator and two police officers.
"What did that guy do?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Suspected of sneaking into the base." The general passed the information to the other party indifferently. As he expected, Huang Shaotian just flipped through it casually, and put it down without interest. "There are a lot of people who want to sneak into the inner city recently."
"It's understandable," Huang Shaotian said, "After all, your achievements are becoming more and more coveted, aren't they?"
Judging from his expression, this sentence is not a compliment, it is almost difficult to squeeze it out.
"I would also like to thank you for your support." The general replied formulaically.
Huang Shaotian nodded absently, his eyes resting on one of the police officers.He doesn't look like a person who works in this line of work, it's not that Huang Shaotian has any prejudice against his gentle appearance, but he just feels that that guy doesn't have the temperament of an armed man.His hat was pushed down a bit, at that moment, Huang Shaotian felt as if he raised his eyes, and looked at him very quickly through the glass.
A strange fellow, he thought.Pretty handsome.
The general sat in his study with a magazine-sized laptop on his desk.The virtual projection equipment was turned on, he swiped a few times on the screen, and then there was a knock on the door.He said, "Come in."
"It's me." A young voice came through the doorway.
The general rubbed his brows wearily, and took the sunglasses beside him and put them on.It was the police officer that Huang Shaotian noticed earlier who walked in, and he put a stack of documents on the general's desk.
"Is that man telling the truth?" asked the general.He was referring to the suspect who was being questioned.
"Not all." The police officer said, "He was sent by the local army to infiltrate the base, and he was not with the Liaison Bureau. But his superior thought that spies from the Freedom Army were about to sneak in, so he was asked to follow."
The general straightened his lips in annoyance, and said sarcastically, "So he still thinks of us."
The officer shrugged noncommittally.
"Did you see the newcomer today?" The general never looked at him, but stared at his own virtual keyboard, "What's the situation with him?"
"From the local army," said the officer. "Their liaison."
"Is there no problem with identity?"
"No."
If the general looked up at him at this time, he would find that the other party's expression was somewhat meaningful, but unfortunately he missed that fleeting smile. "Okay," he waved his hand, "you go back."
The officer left the room.When the general took off his sunglasses, he realized that his hands were not so steady.There are too many troubles recently, he thought, the local army and the free army don't have a good thing.
Contrary to his apparent attitude, he was not so indifferent to the infiltration of Free Army spies.He first thought of the liaison officer who arrived today. Even though this person was basically the same as the one described in the information, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Before the liaison officer arrived, the local army made an exception and gave a detailed information to show its sincerity.The general clicked on the material, and the three-dimensional projection of the liaison officer appeared on his desktop immediately. The young man's arrogant expression was clear even in the virtual light.He himself should be all right, but the general felt it necessary to inspect his suite.At present, only the liaison officer has entered the base alone, without any weapons. All his companions will have to pass the review after a few days and become the next batch of visitors to the inner city.
Thinking of this, the general pulled the customs clearance application out of the file and threw it into the electronic waste bin rejected by the representative.
Let's talk about it in a few days, he thought while closing the data file, recently it has reached a critical moment.Although the liaison officer has a bad temper, he should understand that he must learn to be patient in the base.
The general picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and walked out of the study.As he passed the suspended corridor, he seemed to feel something peeping from the top, so he raised his face and looked carefully at the transparent ceiling; but he saw nothing except the curled wires and the darkness under the rocky dome. .
The place he is going to is the unknown core of the base.
Apart from the general, no one else in the base had access to the main control room, and even the monthly routine maintenance was carried out under the supervision of the general from start to finish.A main engine stored in the main control room is the operation center of the entire base, and all workshops, monitoring lines, and access control rely on its management and operation.The person who holds its key holds the supreme authority of the entire dungeon, which represents the countless munitions production lines in the base, two mechanized defense forces, a steel fortress that can break through the ground at any time, and enough to deter the entire region. All the power is in his hands.
After 10 minutes of verification, the general entered the main control room.The constantly flashing lights in the room made people feel like they were under the colorful starry sky. He endured the dizziness caused by these lights and issued a series of instructions to the center.
The security level of the base was increased, the authority of the personnel was checked, the flow file registration of the checkpoint, and every item of the test showed that it was correct, and the general's heart was gradually relieved.Finally, according to his habit, he opened the panoramic map of the base and glanced at it casually.
He froze in place, almost thinking that he had misread it.
The green dots scattered throughout the map are signs of life, and each of them corresponds to a person who is active in the base.In the middle of the night at this time, most of the green dots are still in the residential area, and a few shift members are still staying in the workshop and studio. Only the red dot symbolizing the central operator, that is, the general himself, is located in the center of the base. In the main control room on the top floor.
And just beside this red dot, a green dot is emitting a faint light.
Unspeakable fear seized the general, and he understood what this scene meant—in this narrow master control room, which was not as big as a bathroom, besides him, there was a second man quietly lurking. personal.
He wouldn't think it was a fan who came to him for an autograph.
The general was thankful that his habit of carrying weapons had not changed even in the heavily guarded base, and as soon as he pulled out the magnetic wire gun at his waist, a swift silver light flashed in front of his eyes.A few seconds later, even after the gun had dropped to the ground with a loud bang, the sharp pain in his wrist was transmitted to his perception.
"Turn off the center," said a voice.
The general looked around in panic, but still didn't find anyone.Then he felt a pain in his throat, and blood slowly flowed down his neck.
"It won't be so shallow next time," he heard the other add.
At this juncture, he didn't hesitate, covered the wound on his throat with one hand, and turned off the operation of the center with difficulty with the other.The flashing lights in the dark went out one by one, and the lights in the room came on. This was a fixed procedure set up to prevent accidents from happening.
This time the general saw who was standing before him.He couldn't believe it: "Are you going to tear up the treaty?"
The liaison officer of the local army stood in front of the main engine and tilted his head to glance at him.
The arrogance and coldness that enveloped him seemed to have disappeared at this moment, replaced by something else.The general trembled at the threat of death as if cold water had been poured on his head.
"You are not a liaison officer, nor are you from the local army..." He took a step back, "Are you a spy from the Freedom Army?"
"No," the liaison officer said with a smile, "I only work, not my life."
"If you kill me, no one can control this center." The general thought quickly, and his tone calmed down. "Do you want information, or technical data? We can talk."
"I don't have that plan." Liaison No. [-] interrupted him.
The General didn't seem to notice his right hand until now.The other party was holding a very thin cold weapon, maybe a sword or a knife or something, and blood was dripping down the thin blade—it was his blood—and quickly pooled on the ground. A small beach.
He exclaimed in surprise: "You are Ye..."
The words stuck in his throat, because the cold light of the sword had reached his chin, he almost thought he was going to be nailed to the wall.
"Finish." The other party looked at him.
General: "... Troubling Rain at Night?"
When he said the name, he felt that he had almost explained it here.What he faced was not only a counterfeit who used some method to replace the liaison officer, nor was it a spy sent by the Freedom Army, but a lone traveler who was at the top of all intelligence lists and had never been defeated in the southern region. killer.
"Thank you." The other party said, "I hate the setting of half-spoken words before I die, especially when I call out the enemy's name. Although my name is not Troubled Night Rain, it is even less 'Ye—— "Right? You can rest in peace, the general. This liaison officer is simply a gourd with a saw-mouthed gourd. If he has nothing to say, he is suffocated. He has a bad temper. I advise you to directly Beat him, maybe you can save your life."
The General felt a sore throat, and those were the last words he heard.
...Although this sentence is indeed a bit long.
After 1 minute, the alarm from the center sounded in the underground base.
All access control levels have been raised, all passages without reservations are closed at night, lights and evacuation signs are lit in the corridors, the ceiling in the bedroom is cracked, and protective masks and emergency kits tied with belts fall out of it, smashing on the ground. On the stomachs of sleeping employees - dark circles under the eyes of those who were awakened, but few panicked.
It's a standard "maintenance alert" that happens on an indeterminate basis, about once a month, during routine maintenance of the hub, and people usually think of it as a fire drill.However, they don't need to escape in pajamas like a real exercise, and generally just stay in the house and don't run around.
"There are always a few days every month." The captain of the base described it this way.
The two guards set off from the last floor and the top floor of the underground laboratory respectively, and began to patrol the entire base, which was also part of the alarm.A recruit in the team on the top floor dozed off during his shift, and now he was staggering from sleepiness and followed the captain, throwing the empty bottle after drinking into the trash can at the corner of the suspended corridor.
When he passed the intersection leading to the main control room, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't we need to check over there?"
The captain glanced at him. "You can't get in," he said impatiently, "Didn't you look through the inspection manual? It should be undergoing routine maintenance. We can go back to inspect and check with the general for instructions."
He still didn't say a word - if you are not a relative of the boss, you talkative guy, I should let you go to confinement now.
The recruit looked at the captain's expression and didn't dare to ask more questions.But he always felt that something was not quite right.
Huang Shaotian who was hit on the head by an empty bottle was not in a good mood.
After the patrolling guard left, he immediately jumped out of the trash can, ran along the suspended corridor, and slid under the spiral staircase.The central maintenance alarm is in his plan. During the period when the alarm lasts, the entire base passageway will be unmanned, and the employees will be locked in their own rooms, which is especially suitable for fishing in troubled waters.
The false identity of the liaison officer would be exposed sooner or later. Even if he was not discovered, once news of the general's death spread, he, an outsider among the suspects, would definitely bear the brunt of it.If he didn't have to sneak into the laboratory to complete the task, Huang Shaotian must have broken through the ceiling of the suspended corridor and escaped.
And when he used the borrowed temporary central authority to open the passage to the residential area, he found that today's good luck seemed to have come to an end.
The guards should theoretically still be patrolling the top floor, but for some reason they sent a small team here to check.He heard two people talking at the corner of the corridor, one asked: "What are you doing here to check?"
"Intuition." The other replied, "I didn't hear the sound when I threw the empty bottle just now. According to the divination book, this means that there will be new discoveries in unexpected places."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
He swallowed back a mouthful of old blood, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.According to the current situation, he will collide head-on with this team in half a minute. Although the base guards will inevitably be alarmed after the battle, there is no other way.
Teach that bastard who threw the bottle over my head a lesson, he thought.
The next second, a very subtle confirmation sound came from his ear, and he was suddenly pulled into a door on the wall.
Huang Shaotian held his breath in the darkness, through a thin metal wall, he heard the team pass by the place where he was just now.The person who pulled him in here wasn't particularly strong, but it was unexpected. Huang Shaotian didn't expect a door to suddenly appear on the wall of the corridor, and he was dragged in out of nowhere.What made him feel very strange was that the guard didn't seem to notice that there was a door here, and no one wanted to stop and check.
"This is the clean storage room." Someone in the dark replied as if he had guessed his thoughts.
When he spoke, he was still very close, but when the voice fell, he was already far away.Huang Shaotian blinked: "Why didn't I know there was another teammate here?"
"You don't know me." The other party seemed to smile, "I just..."
Huang Shaotian instantly drew his sword and pointed it at the man's throat.He moved forward in a measured manner, and the tip of the sword lightly touched the human skin.
"...Come and turn on the light." The man finished speaking.
Huang Shaotian squinted reflexively, and the room suddenly lit up.Under the orange emergency light, he saw his sword pointing at a young man—unexpectedly, the other man held up a finger in front of his throat, and the point of the sword just touched his fingertip.
"It's you?" he blurted out.
Standing in front of him was the police officer he had noticed in the interrogation room.The opponent moved his sword aside and said calmly, "My name is Yu Wenzhou."
Huang Shaotian looked at him suspiciously.
"You want to go to the lab on the ground floor?" Yu Wenzhou said, "I can help you."
"Where are you a spy from?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Neither side." Yu Wenzhou shrugged, "Didn't you see that I am a staff member here."
"You'd better be honest." Huang Shaotian threatened, "Although I don't know how you got here, I can predict how you will die."
"I know you." Yu Wenzhou looked into his eyes, "You are the lone killer from the southern region, Troubling Rain, your real name is Huang Shaotian, and you sneaked into the base pretending to be a liaison officer of the local army."
Huang Shaotian wondered if this guy was an intelligence agent, raised his sword and pointed it at his eyebrow.
The other party waved his hand: "I'm not an intelligence provider."
Huang Shaotian was taken aback, could this person read minds?
"Yes." Yu Wenzhou nodded, "You guessed it right this time."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"If you don't want to be read, don't look me in the eyes." The other said again.
What he didn't expect was that Huang Shaotian stared at him with great interest and asked, "Then tell me what I'm thinking about right now?"
He said in his heart: It's amazing, the world is so big that today I meet someone who can read minds!So the incidents of bending spoons with thoughts also exist, no, since they met in the base, are there people with other abilities in the base?Why are all the straw bags I saw along the way?Ah yes, maybe it has something to do with the materials I want to get in the lab. It really is very sci-fi. By the way, do you have to look at each other to activate this counterfeit superpower? No, did he glance at me before but why didn’t he reveal it? I?
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
"That," he thought for a moment, "you're a little rich in inner activities."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"The water flew straight down, blocking my sight." Yu Wenzhou added.
Huang Shaotian thought to himself that even if you are handsome, don't think that I won't punch you in the face.
"Thank you." Yu Wenzhou smiled, "You're not bad, too."
Huang Shaotian was stunned for a few seconds and understood two things.First of all, this guy seems to be able to read minds; secondly...their aesthetic vision is pretty consistent.
Yu Wenzhou pushed the point of the sword pointing at his eyebrows two inches away: "So can we talk now?"
Huang Shaotian nodded bluntly, and didn't see how he put it away, and the sword disappeared in his hand like a shielded barrage.
"Okay," he asked, "what do you want to talk about? It seems that you are not very satisfied with this base."
Another thought popped into his mind at the same time.The reason why he was able to sneak into the base as a liaison officer so smoothly before was because the person who helped him forge his identity got some information leaked from the inside of the base. Could it be that the information was sent by the person in front of him?He seems to be working for the "General", but now it seems that his face is not in harmony with his heart. Maybe there is some bloody grievances, so that he is on the road to overthrow the base, and he will be in this storage Waiting in the room, is it also planned and intentional?
Yu Wenzhou frowned in distress. "Or turn your head away first," he suggested, "I think the pace of the conversation is a little confusing."
Huang Shaotian: "..." I almost forgot that this person can read minds.
He dragged a folding stool over and sat down with his back turned.Yu Wenzhou said: "I'm not the original staff member of the base. Before the ground-floor laboratory was moved into the dungeon, I participated in one of their experiments, and the result changed. Later, for some reason, I entered the base of the dungeon. The base is dedicated to interrogation and intelligence."
"Aren't they afraid that you will see those secrets?" Huang Shaotian asked curiously, "Didn't you see everything about the people who usually work with you? Where do you usually go to have fun, whether your girlfriend is fierce or not..."
"Didn't you notice that everyone around me is wearing sunglasses?" Yu Wenzhou said, "As long as I don't look directly into their eyes, this ability won't work."
"Oh, they must be very afraid of you." Huang Shaotian expressed his understanding, "But I think it's very convenient, you see I didn't need to speak just now, you can know what I'm thinking."
In order to confirm this sentence, he turned his head and looked at the other party—hey, I know that your ability will definitely be excluded by insiders, and I was the same back then, but as long as I can beat them all to the ground, it will be fine. Bar?And you seem to only be able to see the current superficial consciousness. For example, you probably don’t know that when I was a child, I bullied the big white geese in the yard next door and gave them a bath. Too bad, why do I remember this... Anyway, I’m not afraid to watch it, It doesn't matter if you look at it, we even saved the communication line, just because we took an extra look at you in the crowd——
Yu Wenzhou blinked, then turned his head silently.
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"Your radio waves are transmitted too fast, and I can't receive them." Yu Wenzhou said truthfully.
Huang Shaotian said sadly: "What kind of world is this! Do you even discriminate against me with mind reading skills!"
"Except for the general and a group of colleagues in charge of me in the entire base, no one knows the details of my abilities." Yu Wenzhou shook his head, "This is also because the general is guarding against possible internal conflicts in the future and wants to keep me as a trump card until the end. "
"So you glanced at me in the interrogation room before, isn't this an illusion?" Huang Shaotian remembered this incident.
"That's right, this is also the general's order." Yu Wenzhou said, "I saw some of your inner activities, and I also discovered that you are not a liaison officer."
"But you didn't tell him, did you?" Huang Shaotian clicked his tongue, "otherwise he wouldn't die so heartbreakingly."
Yu Wenzhou was taken aback: "The general is dead?"
"Yeah." Huang Shaotian was more surprised than he was, "Didn't you see it in my mind?"
"I can only see what you were thinking at the time, and some bits and pieces of information." Yu Wenzhou rubbed the space between his brows, "I thought you were going to assassinate the general."
"Well, I've already killed him, are you happy?" Huang Shaotian said.
Yu Wenzhou: "...it's okay."
"I'm going to the bottom lab now." Huang Shaotian said again, "You've seen this just now, you said you want to help me, what's the price?"
"I'm looking for something in the laboratory." Yu Wenzhou said, "I can take you there. After entering, we will split up and not interfere with each other. How about it?"
"Two questions." Huang Shaotian held up two fingers, and then realized that the other party's back was facing him and he couldn't see him, so he pretended to be okay and put it down silently, "Why do you think I can't find the laboratory by myself? How do you guarantee that?" I won't cut you down with a sword in time to avoid future troubles?"
"For the previous question, because the bottom-level laboratory was cleaned and reinstalled two days ago, the information in your hands is not updated so fast, and it will take a lot of trouble to break through with your skills. Presumably, you will not refuse the shortcut." Yu Wenzhou said, "As for why I know your information, it is because I passed the information on the base to your informant. According to what the informant told you, there is a trustworthy insider in the base, and you are being dragged by me. The moment I entered the storage room, I already guessed that I was the insider—right?"
"Mind reading skills are really terrible." Huang Shaotian sighed, "I remember that the room was dark at that time, but you still saw me? The information didn't say that this insider could read minds, it's really a lie."
"Your informants don't know this either." Yu Wenzhou said, "The room is very dark, but your eyes are brighter."
"What you said is really scary..." Huang Shaotian grumbled, "There is no need to test it now, so why don't you tell me how to get out?"
"What did you do before?" Yu Wenzhou asked, "How did you kill the general?"
"I dug two holes in the ceiling of the suspended corridor, and then blocked them with something." Huang Shaotian said quickly, "Then I ambushed the general in the central control room, stabbed him to death, and released a Bomb, lock him in the control room, as long as no one goes in, he can't find it."
"Did you install a bomb in the center?" Yu Wenzhou was startled, "When will it detonate?"
"The controller is still here." Huang Shaotian waved his hand, "It's small, it's fine, it's only enough to blow up that broken computer, and this hole won't collapse."
I don't know if the general will be outraged if he hears that his base is described as "this cave".
"Don't blow it up." Yu Wenzhou said seriously, "Once the center is damaged, the energy of the entire base will enter a backup mode, completely cutting off the internal and external connections, and none of us will be able to go out at that time."
"Fine, fine, I will hold back." Huang Shaotian said with a smile.
Listening to his tone, Yu Wenzhou couldn't help but feel worried.
He took out an ID card from his pocket and turned around: "Then you take this first..."
Huang Shaotian didn't guard against him turning around suddenly, and met his eyes.He was thinking that today's dinner was not very tasty, the fried eggs were too hard, the security guard didn't put salt and pepper shakers on the table, and the corners of the chopped potatoes were burnt, especially the original liaison officer's appetite I'm still young, so I can't eat more in order to pretend that I can't eat more. I can only watch the ribs and broccoli that were not very well done before being taken away without eating two bites. It's really sad-I rely on him to turn around!I am not hungry at all!
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
Huang Shaotian looked at the ceiling and smiled innocently.
"Take this," Yu Wenzhou tried to keep as serious as possible, and handed him the ID card, "Let's go to the kitchen."
Huang Shaotian stooped, walked lightly on a steel support that was as thick as a palm, and walked through the warehouse without a sound.The barreled medicines and reactors here are coldly arranged in two rows. Although it is reasonable to say that the seals should be very good, there is still a sour smell of chemicals floating in the room.
He used the terminal to open the passageway at the slanted upper corner of the warehouse, and got into a long corridor next to it.
The terminal with this authority was given to him by Yu Wenzhou.In view of the other party's status and situation in the base, it is impossible for the general to give him such a broad access authority, so it can only be the result of his own private work.Huang Shaotian's face unexpectedly appeared in Huang Shaotian's mind - "eyes that seem to be able to read people's hearts" is already a clichéd way of describing it, who would have thought that there are two eyes here that can really read people's hearts?
There was a sound of pulleys rolling down the corridor, and half a minute later, two people wearing masks and a metal cart that looked like a dining car appeared at the corner.Almost at the same time, Yu Wenzhou's voice came from the small headphones he had put on temporarily: "It's them."
Huang Shaotian raised his head as if feeling something, and saw that pair of eyes staring at him from afar in a vent on the outer wall ten meters away from him.
This hesitation only took him less than half a second, and then he jumped off the beam of the warehouse aisle.The two staff members pushing the dining car only saw a black shadow falling in front of them, and then each received a blunt blow on the head, and they didn't know anything.
Before they lost consciousness, they were all thinking about the same thing: in the middle of the night... who is so hungry that they want to hijack the food delivery person?
On the other side, it took Yu Wenzhou a few more minutes to check the access control and the surrounding situation. When he came to the passage, Huang Shaotian had already dragged the two unconscious staff members to the corner.Seeing Yu Wenzhou approaching, he turned his head and asked, "What's next?"
He obviously hasn't fully adapted to walking with a teammate who can read minds, because although his expression is calm, his inner fluctuations are not concealed at all, and he clearly wrote: "An expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move! The efficiency is very high. That's it! Isn't it handsome—"
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
While watching from the vent, he barely saw the opponent's movements clearly, and the two of them were brought down in a blink of an eye.This is not a normal, trained response and speed by normal human standards.
"Open the dining car, there will be no mechanism inside." He said, and opened a cabinet door first.
The cabinet door on Huang Shaotian's side was locked, and he solved the problem with a few fiddles.When the cabinet door was opened, a very heartbroken expression appeared on his face, but after a short while, he returned to the cold and calm that a killer should have.
"Why are they all compressed food and liquid nutrition—"
Yu Wenzhou could almost hear the roar in his heart.
"They were supposed to deliver food to the lab," he explained with a smile
When he passed a window, he stopped and looked outside. From this angle, he could clearly see the torrent of the carnival parade rushing towards the bridge along with the sequence of floats.People immersed in joy waved their colored decorations and lanterns, forming a bright river of light between the outlines of the street. Just like the entire underground city shrouded in festive atmosphere, it must be full of deafening noise and laughter.
Such moments are rare for dungeons.In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a city as cold as steel. Everything is precise, orderly, and unquestionable. It operates according to some harsh laws that are difficult to deduce. Everything that hinders it will be crushed under the rolling gears. .With the inflow of more residents in recent years, an outer city has formed around the inner city that was originally closed and managed, so that the place that relies on artificial light lighting all the time at this time finally has a little bit of freshness.
But neither the carnival vibe nor the sizzling noise belonged where they were walking.This is the central base of the inner city. From this suspended corridor, you can overlook the whole picture of the underground city.Under the earth, at the highest point of the city, there will always be a silence that is better than the wilderness, day and night.
Huang Shaotian and his party have come to the end of the corridor and landed along the transparent spiral escalator.The four staff members who were sent to greet him were all young girls, and they wore old-fashioned silver-gray uniforms. Those who work in this industry need to have the characteristics of being shrewd and capable, but they cannot show this too much on the outside.One of them said softly, "The general is in the front room."
"What is he doing?" Huang Shaotian stopped outside the door.
The girl hesitated to speak.Huang Shaotian didn't show any intention of verifying it himself, nor did he seem to intend to urge her, but just stared at her silently until the other party had to continue talking. "He's interrogating himself," she said as lightly as possible, "a suspect."
"Oh, is the law and order in the dungeon so bad now?" Huang Shaotian glanced at her.
"The management of our inner city is absolutely strict." The girl replied immediately, "But the general thinks that sometimes it is necessary to properly observe the people's conditions."
Huang Shaotian nodded, and said to himself, "Then I don't think he would mind if I went to watch."
Absolutely mind!The girl roared in her heart.
When she was sent to receive this troublesome man from the local army, she was ready to face all kinds of unlikable guys, but this man in front of her was beyond her expectations.He maintained basic courtesy to the people around him, didn't talk much, and never made any special requests for pleasure - such things were quite common - and he was very cooperative when asked to check the information.But he has a kind of arrogance from the heart, and a character that doesn't read other people's faces at all. The concepts of privacy and avoidance seem to have never been written in his dictionary.For example, if there is something that makes him curious, he will disregard any objections and take it apart for research, no matter if it is a rabbit or the latest technology accelerator...the two seem to be very different No, for him, it can be simply classified into the category of "you can't put it back together after taking it apart".
Huang Shaotian had already knocked twice on the door unceremoniously.Soon someone opened the door a crack, and when he saw the people standing outside, he showed a look of astonishment, as if he didn't quite understand why a strange guy would disturb him at this time.
"You are..." he hesitated.
An accompanying person hurried forward and said in a low voice, "This is a guest invited by the general, Mr. Liaison Officer from the local army."
The expression of the person inside the door changed, he said hello to Huang Shaotian, and retreated into the door faster than when he came out.Ten seconds later, he opened the door again, bowed and said, "Please come in, the general is waiting for you."
Wait a bit, Huang Shaotian thought, as if I didn't know that you guys were scolding me for not giving me a wink.
There was only one table and one chair in the long, narrow room.The general is about 50 years old, with short gray and white hair combed neatly, and a pair of round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, which looks especially strange indoors at night.He smiled at Huang Shaotian: "Mr. Liaison Officer?"
It looked more like a fake smile, but Huang Shaotian felt that he tried his best.
"Good evening, General." He nodded. "I hope I didn't disturb you."
The two assistants behind the general also wore sunglasses. They sullenly tried not to show their dissatisfaction with this guy.The general smiled, and pulled away the only chair in his room: "Sit and watch, Mr. Liaison Officer?"
"No need." Huang Shaotian shook his head politely.Then he turned over neatly and sat down at the long table.
General: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't turn his face against the local army for the time being, he really wanted to beat this young bastard all over his face.However, he also expected this situation. In the data, the eccentric and annoying temper of the No. [-] liaison officer is as impressive as his outstanding work ability.
The entire wall next to Huang Shaotian was made of tea-colored glass. He turned his head and looked over, and there was an interrogation that didn't look interesting in the next room.The suspect was handcuffed in a hard chair, facing the interrogator and two police officers.
"What did that guy do?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Suspected of sneaking into the base." The general passed the information to the other party indifferently. As he expected, Huang Shaotian just flipped through it casually, and put it down without interest. "There are a lot of people who want to sneak into the inner city recently."
"It's understandable," Huang Shaotian said, "After all, your achievements are becoming more and more coveted, aren't they?"
Judging from his expression, this sentence is not a compliment, it is almost difficult to squeeze it out.
"I would also like to thank you for your support." The general replied formulaically.
Huang Shaotian nodded absently, his eyes resting on one of the police officers.He doesn't look like a person who works in this line of work, it's not that Huang Shaotian has any prejudice against his gentle appearance, but he just feels that that guy doesn't have the temperament of an armed man.His hat was pushed down a bit, at that moment, Huang Shaotian felt as if he raised his eyes, and looked at him very quickly through the glass.
A strange fellow, he thought.Pretty handsome.
The general sat in his study with a magazine-sized laptop on his desk.The virtual projection equipment was turned on, he swiped a few times on the screen, and then there was a knock on the door.He said, "Come in."
"It's me." A young voice came through the doorway.
The general rubbed his brows wearily, and took the sunglasses beside him and put them on.It was the police officer that Huang Shaotian noticed earlier who walked in, and he put a stack of documents on the general's desk.
"Is that man telling the truth?" asked the general.He was referring to the suspect who was being questioned.
"Not all." The police officer said, "He was sent by the local army to infiltrate the base, and he was not with the Liaison Bureau. But his superior thought that spies from the Freedom Army were about to sneak in, so he was asked to follow."
The general straightened his lips in annoyance, and said sarcastically, "So he still thinks of us."
The officer shrugged noncommittally.
"Did you see the newcomer today?" The general never looked at him, but stared at his own virtual keyboard, "What's the situation with him?"
"From the local army," said the officer. "Their liaison."
"Is there no problem with identity?"
"No."
If the general looked up at him at this time, he would find that the other party's expression was somewhat meaningful, but unfortunately he missed that fleeting smile. "Okay," he waved his hand, "you go back."
The officer left the room.When the general took off his sunglasses, he realized that his hands were not so steady.There are too many troubles recently, he thought, the local army and the free army don't have a good thing.
Contrary to his apparent attitude, he was not so indifferent to the infiltration of Free Army spies.He first thought of the liaison officer who arrived today. Even though this person was basically the same as the one described in the information, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Before the liaison officer arrived, the local army made an exception and gave a detailed information to show its sincerity.The general clicked on the material, and the three-dimensional projection of the liaison officer appeared on his desktop immediately. The young man's arrogant expression was clear even in the virtual light.He himself should be all right, but the general felt it necessary to inspect his suite.At present, only the liaison officer has entered the base alone, without any weapons. All his companions will have to pass the review after a few days and become the next batch of visitors to the inner city.
Thinking of this, the general pulled the customs clearance application out of the file and threw it into the electronic waste bin rejected by the representative.
Let's talk about it in a few days, he thought while closing the data file, recently it has reached a critical moment.Although the liaison officer has a bad temper, he should understand that he must learn to be patient in the base.
The general picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and walked out of the study.As he passed the suspended corridor, he seemed to feel something peeping from the top, so he raised his face and looked carefully at the transparent ceiling; but he saw nothing except the curled wires and the darkness under the rocky dome. .
The place he is going to is the unknown core of the base.
Apart from the general, no one else in the base had access to the main control room, and even the monthly routine maintenance was carried out under the supervision of the general from start to finish.A main engine stored in the main control room is the operation center of the entire base, and all workshops, monitoring lines, and access control rely on its management and operation.The person who holds its key holds the supreme authority of the entire dungeon, which represents the countless munitions production lines in the base, two mechanized defense forces, a steel fortress that can break through the ground at any time, and enough to deter the entire region. All the power is in his hands.
After 10 minutes of verification, the general entered the main control room.The constantly flashing lights in the room made people feel like they were under the colorful starry sky. He endured the dizziness caused by these lights and issued a series of instructions to the center.
The security level of the base was increased, the authority of the personnel was checked, the flow file registration of the checkpoint, and every item of the test showed that it was correct, and the general's heart was gradually relieved.Finally, according to his habit, he opened the panoramic map of the base and glanced at it casually.
He froze in place, almost thinking that he had misread it.
The green dots scattered throughout the map are signs of life, and each of them corresponds to a person who is active in the base.In the middle of the night at this time, most of the green dots are still in the residential area, and a few shift members are still staying in the workshop and studio. Only the red dot symbolizing the central operator, that is, the general himself, is located in the center of the base. In the main control room on the top floor.
And just beside this red dot, a green dot is emitting a faint light.
Unspeakable fear seized the general, and he understood what this scene meant—in this narrow master control room, which was not as big as a bathroom, besides him, there was a second man quietly lurking. personal.
He wouldn't think it was a fan who came to him for an autograph.
The general was thankful that his habit of carrying weapons had not changed even in the heavily guarded base, and as soon as he pulled out the magnetic wire gun at his waist, a swift silver light flashed in front of his eyes.A few seconds later, even after the gun had dropped to the ground with a loud bang, the sharp pain in his wrist was transmitted to his perception.
"Turn off the center," said a voice.
The general looked around in panic, but still didn't find anyone.Then he felt a pain in his throat, and blood slowly flowed down his neck.
"It won't be so shallow next time," he heard the other add.
At this juncture, he didn't hesitate, covered the wound on his throat with one hand, and turned off the operation of the center with difficulty with the other.The flashing lights in the dark went out one by one, and the lights in the room came on. This was a fixed procedure set up to prevent accidents from happening.
This time the general saw who was standing before him.He couldn't believe it: "Are you going to tear up the treaty?"
The liaison officer of the local army stood in front of the main engine and tilted his head to glance at him.
The arrogance and coldness that enveloped him seemed to have disappeared at this moment, replaced by something else.The general trembled at the threat of death as if cold water had been poured on his head.
"You are not a liaison officer, nor are you from the local army..." He took a step back, "Are you a spy from the Freedom Army?"
"No," the liaison officer said with a smile, "I only work, not my life."
"If you kill me, no one can control this center." The general thought quickly, and his tone calmed down. "Do you want information, or technical data? We can talk."
"I don't have that plan." Liaison No. [-] interrupted him.
The General didn't seem to notice his right hand until now.The other party was holding a very thin cold weapon, maybe a sword or a knife or something, and blood was dripping down the thin blade—it was his blood—and quickly pooled on the ground. A small beach.
He exclaimed in surprise: "You are Ye..."
The words stuck in his throat, because the cold light of the sword had reached his chin, he almost thought he was going to be nailed to the wall.
"Finish." The other party looked at him.
General: "... Troubling Rain at Night?"
When he said the name, he felt that he had almost explained it here.What he faced was not only a counterfeit who used some method to replace the liaison officer, nor was it a spy sent by the Freedom Army, but a lone traveler who was at the top of all intelligence lists and had never been defeated in the southern region. killer.
"Thank you." The other party said, "I hate the setting of half-spoken words before I die, especially when I call out the enemy's name. Although my name is not Troubled Night Rain, it is even less 'Ye—— "Right? You can rest in peace, the general. This liaison officer is simply a gourd with a saw-mouthed gourd. If he has nothing to say, he is suffocated. He has a bad temper. I advise you to directly Beat him, maybe you can save your life."
The General felt a sore throat, and those were the last words he heard.
...Although this sentence is indeed a bit long.
After 1 minute, the alarm from the center sounded in the underground base.
All access control levels have been raised, all passages without reservations are closed at night, lights and evacuation signs are lit in the corridors, the ceiling in the bedroom is cracked, and protective masks and emergency kits tied with belts fall out of it, smashing on the ground. On the stomachs of sleeping employees - dark circles under the eyes of those who were awakened, but few panicked.
It's a standard "maintenance alert" that happens on an indeterminate basis, about once a month, during routine maintenance of the hub, and people usually think of it as a fire drill.However, they don't need to escape in pajamas like a real exercise, and generally just stay in the house and don't run around.
"There are always a few days every month." The captain of the base described it this way.
The two guards set off from the last floor and the top floor of the underground laboratory respectively, and began to patrol the entire base, which was also part of the alarm.A recruit in the team on the top floor dozed off during his shift, and now he was staggering from sleepiness and followed the captain, throwing the empty bottle after drinking into the trash can at the corner of the suspended corridor.
When he passed the intersection leading to the main control room, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't we need to check over there?"
The captain glanced at him. "You can't get in," he said impatiently, "Didn't you look through the inspection manual? It should be undergoing routine maintenance. We can go back to inspect and check with the general for instructions."
He still didn't say a word - if you are not a relative of the boss, you talkative guy, I should let you go to confinement now.
The recruit looked at the captain's expression and didn't dare to ask more questions.But he always felt that something was not quite right.
Huang Shaotian who was hit on the head by an empty bottle was not in a good mood.
After the patrolling guard left, he immediately jumped out of the trash can, ran along the suspended corridor, and slid under the spiral staircase.The central maintenance alarm is in his plan. During the period when the alarm lasts, the entire base passageway will be unmanned, and the employees will be locked in their own rooms, which is especially suitable for fishing in troubled waters.
The false identity of the liaison officer would be exposed sooner or later. Even if he was not discovered, once news of the general's death spread, he, an outsider among the suspects, would definitely bear the brunt of it.If he didn't have to sneak into the laboratory to complete the task, Huang Shaotian must have broken through the ceiling of the suspended corridor and escaped.
And when he used the borrowed temporary central authority to open the passage to the residential area, he found that today's good luck seemed to have come to an end.
The guards should theoretically still be patrolling the top floor, but for some reason they sent a small team here to check.He heard two people talking at the corner of the corridor, one asked: "What are you doing here to check?"
"Intuition." The other replied, "I didn't hear the sound when I threw the empty bottle just now. According to the divination book, this means that there will be new discoveries in unexpected places."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
He swallowed back a mouthful of old blood, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.According to the current situation, he will collide head-on with this team in half a minute. Although the base guards will inevitably be alarmed after the battle, there is no other way.
Teach that bastard who threw the bottle over my head a lesson, he thought.
The next second, a very subtle confirmation sound came from his ear, and he was suddenly pulled into a door on the wall.
Huang Shaotian held his breath in the darkness, through a thin metal wall, he heard the team pass by the place where he was just now.The person who pulled him in here wasn't particularly strong, but it was unexpected. Huang Shaotian didn't expect a door to suddenly appear on the wall of the corridor, and he was dragged in out of nowhere.What made him feel very strange was that the guard didn't seem to notice that there was a door here, and no one wanted to stop and check.
"This is the clean storage room." Someone in the dark replied as if he had guessed his thoughts.
When he spoke, he was still very close, but when the voice fell, he was already far away.Huang Shaotian blinked: "Why didn't I know there was another teammate here?"
"You don't know me." The other party seemed to smile, "I just..."
Huang Shaotian instantly drew his sword and pointed it at the man's throat.He moved forward in a measured manner, and the tip of the sword lightly touched the human skin.
"...Come and turn on the light." The man finished speaking.
Huang Shaotian squinted reflexively, and the room suddenly lit up.Under the orange emergency light, he saw his sword pointing at a young man—unexpectedly, the other man held up a finger in front of his throat, and the point of the sword just touched his fingertip.
"It's you?" he blurted out.
Standing in front of him was the police officer he had noticed in the interrogation room.The opponent moved his sword aside and said calmly, "My name is Yu Wenzhou."
Huang Shaotian looked at him suspiciously.
"You want to go to the lab on the ground floor?" Yu Wenzhou said, "I can help you."
"Where are you a spy from?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Neither side." Yu Wenzhou shrugged, "Didn't you see that I am a staff member here."
"You'd better be honest." Huang Shaotian threatened, "Although I don't know how you got here, I can predict how you will die."
"I know you." Yu Wenzhou looked into his eyes, "You are the lone killer from the southern region, Troubling Rain, your real name is Huang Shaotian, and you sneaked into the base pretending to be a liaison officer of the local army."
Huang Shaotian wondered if this guy was an intelligence agent, raised his sword and pointed it at his eyebrow.
The other party waved his hand: "I'm not an intelligence provider."
Huang Shaotian was taken aback, could this person read minds?
"Yes." Yu Wenzhou nodded, "You guessed it right this time."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"If you don't want to be read, don't look me in the eyes." The other said again.
What he didn't expect was that Huang Shaotian stared at him with great interest and asked, "Then tell me what I'm thinking about right now?"
He said in his heart: It's amazing, the world is so big that today I meet someone who can read minds!So the incidents of bending spoons with thoughts also exist, no, since they met in the base, are there people with other abilities in the base?Why are all the straw bags I saw along the way?Ah yes, maybe it has something to do with the materials I want to get in the lab. It really is very sci-fi. By the way, do you have to look at each other to activate this counterfeit superpower? No, did he glance at me before but why didn’t he reveal it? I?
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
"That," he thought for a moment, "you're a little rich in inner activities."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"The water flew straight down, blocking my sight." Yu Wenzhou added.
Huang Shaotian thought to himself that even if you are handsome, don't think that I won't punch you in the face.
"Thank you." Yu Wenzhou smiled, "You're not bad, too."
Huang Shaotian was stunned for a few seconds and understood two things.First of all, this guy seems to be able to read minds; secondly...their aesthetic vision is pretty consistent.
Yu Wenzhou pushed the point of the sword pointing at his eyebrows two inches away: "So can we talk now?"
Huang Shaotian nodded bluntly, and didn't see how he put it away, and the sword disappeared in his hand like a shielded barrage.
"Okay," he asked, "what do you want to talk about? It seems that you are not very satisfied with this base."
Another thought popped into his mind at the same time.The reason why he was able to sneak into the base as a liaison officer so smoothly before was because the person who helped him forge his identity got some information leaked from the inside of the base. Could it be that the information was sent by the person in front of him?He seems to be working for the "General", but now it seems that his face is not in harmony with his heart. Maybe there is some bloody grievances, so that he is on the road to overthrow the base, and he will be in this storage Waiting in the room, is it also planned and intentional?
Yu Wenzhou frowned in distress. "Or turn your head away first," he suggested, "I think the pace of the conversation is a little confusing."
Huang Shaotian: "..." I almost forgot that this person can read minds.
He dragged a folding stool over and sat down with his back turned.Yu Wenzhou said: "I'm not the original staff member of the base. Before the ground-floor laboratory was moved into the dungeon, I participated in one of their experiments, and the result changed. Later, for some reason, I entered the base of the dungeon. The base is dedicated to interrogation and intelligence."
"Aren't they afraid that you will see those secrets?" Huang Shaotian asked curiously, "Didn't you see everything about the people who usually work with you? Where do you usually go to have fun, whether your girlfriend is fierce or not..."
"Didn't you notice that everyone around me is wearing sunglasses?" Yu Wenzhou said, "As long as I don't look directly into their eyes, this ability won't work."
"Oh, they must be very afraid of you." Huang Shaotian expressed his understanding, "But I think it's very convenient, you see I didn't need to speak just now, you can know what I'm thinking."
In order to confirm this sentence, he turned his head and looked at the other party—hey, I know that your ability will definitely be excluded by insiders, and I was the same back then, but as long as I can beat them all to the ground, it will be fine. Bar?And you seem to only be able to see the current superficial consciousness. For example, you probably don’t know that when I was a child, I bullied the big white geese in the yard next door and gave them a bath. Too bad, why do I remember this... Anyway, I’m not afraid to watch it, It doesn't matter if you look at it, we even saved the communication line, just because we took an extra look at you in the crowd——
Yu Wenzhou blinked, then turned his head silently.
Huang Shaotian: "..."
"Your radio waves are transmitted too fast, and I can't receive them." Yu Wenzhou said truthfully.
Huang Shaotian said sadly: "What kind of world is this! Do you even discriminate against me with mind reading skills!"
"Except for the general and a group of colleagues in charge of me in the entire base, no one knows the details of my abilities." Yu Wenzhou shook his head, "This is also because the general is guarding against possible internal conflicts in the future and wants to keep me as a trump card until the end. "
"So you glanced at me in the interrogation room before, isn't this an illusion?" Huang Shaotian remembered this incident.
"That's right, this is also the general's order." Yu Wenzhou said, "I saw some of your inner activities, and I also discovered that you are not a liaison officer."
"But you didn't tell him, did you?" Huang Shaotian clicked his tongue, "otherwise he wouldn't die so heartbreakingly."
Yu Wenzhou was taken aback: "The general is dead?"
"Yeah." Huang Shaotian was more surprised than he was, "Didn't you see it in my mind?"
"I can only see what you were thinking at the time, and some bits and pieces of information." Yu Wenzhou rubbed the space between his brows, "I thought you were going to assassinate the general."
"Well, I've already killed him, are you happy?" Huang Shaotian said.
Yu Wenzhou: "...it's okay."
"I'm going to the bottom lab now." Huang Shaotian said again, "You've seen this just now, you said you want to help me, what's the price?"
"I'm looking for something in the laboratory." Yu Wenzhou said, "I can take you there. After entering, we will split up and not interfere with each other. How about it?"
"Two questions." Huang Shaotian held up two fingers, and then realized that the other party's back was facing him and he couldn't see him, so he pretended to be okay and put it down silently, "Why do you think I can't find the laboratory by myself? How do you guarantee that?" I won't cut you down with a sword in time to avoid future troubles?"
"For the previous question, because the bottom-level laboratory was cleaned and reinstalled two days ago, the information in your hands is not updated so fast, and it will take a lot of trouble to break through with your skills. Presumably, you will not refuse the shortcut." Yu Wenzhou said, "As for why I know your information, it is because I passed the information on the base to your informant. According to what the informant told you, there is a trustworthy insider in the base, and you are being dragged by me. The moment I entered the storage room, I already guessed that I was the insider—right?"
"Mind reading skills are really terrible." Huang Shaotian sighed, "I remember that the room was dark at that time, but you still saw me? The information didn't say that this insider could read minds, it's really a lie."
"Your informants don't know this either." Yu Wenzhou said, "The room is very dark, but your eyes are brighter."
"What you said is really scary..." Huang Shaotian grumbled, "There is no need to test it now, so why don't you tell me how to get out?"
"What did you do before?" Yu Wenzhou asked, "How did you kill the general?"
"I dug two holes in the ceiling of the suspended corridor, and then blocked them with something." Huang Shaotian said quickly, "Then I ambushed the general in the central control room, stabbed him to death, and released a Bomb, lock him in the control room, as long as no one goes in, he can't find it."
"Did you install a bomb in the center?" Yu Wenzhou was startled, "When will it detonate?"
"The controller is still here." Huang Shaotian waved his hand, "It's small, it's fine, it's only enough to blow up that broken computer, and this hole won't collapse."
I don't know if the general will be outraged if he hears that his base is described as "this cave".
"Don't blow it up." Yu Wenzhou said seriously, "Once the center is damaged, the energy of the entire base will enter a backup mode, completely cutting off the internal and external connections, and none of us will be able to go out at that time."
"Fine, fine, I will hold back." Huang Shaotian said with a smile.
Listening to his tone, Yu Wenzhou couldn't help but feel worried.
He took out an ID card from his pocket and turned around: "Then you take this first..."
Huang Shaotian didn't guard against him turning around suddenly, and met his eyes.He was thinking that today's dinner was not very tasty, the fried eggs were too hard, the security guard didn't put salt and pepper shakers on the table, and the corners of the chopped potatoes were burnt, especially the original liaison officer's appetite I'm still young, so I can't eat more in order to pretend that I can't eat more. I can only watch the ribs and broccoli that were not very well done before being taken away without eating two bites. It's really sad-I rely on him to turn around!I am not hungry at all!
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
Huang Shaotian looked at the ceiling and smiled innocently.
"Take this," Yu Wenzhou tried to keep as serious as possible, and handed him the ID card, "Let's go to the kitchen."
Huang Shaotian stooped, walked lightly on a steel support that was as thick as a palm, and walked through the warehouse without a sound.The barreled medicines and reactors here are coldly arranged in two rows. Although it is reasonable to say that the seals should be very good, there is still a sour smell of chemicals floating in the room.
He used the terminal to open the passageway at the slanted upper corner of the warehouse, and got into a long corridor next to it.
The terminal with this authority was given to him by Yu Wenzhou.In view of the other party's status and situation in the base, it is impossible for the general to give him such a broad access authority, so it can only be the result of his own private work.Huang Shaotian's face unexpectedly appeared in Huang Shaotian's mind - "eyes that seem to be able to read people's hearts" is already a clichéd way of describing it, who would have thought that there are two eyes here that can really read people's hearts?
There was a sound of pulleys rolling down the corridor, and half a minute later, two people wearing masks and a metal cart that looked like a dining car appeared at the corner.Almost at the same time, Yu Wenzhou's voice came from the small headphones he had put on temporarily: "It's them."
Huang Shaotian raised his head as if feeling something, and saw that pair of eyes staring at him from afar in a vent on the outer wall ten meters away from him.
This hesitation only took him less than half a second, and then he jumped off the beam of the warehouse aisle.The two staff members pushing the dining car only saw a black shadow falling in front of them, and then each received a blunt blow on the head, and they didn't know anything.
Before they lost consciousness, they were all thinking about the same thing: in the middle of the night... who is so hungry that they want to hijack the food delivery person?
On the other side, it took Yu Wenzhou a few more minutes to check the access control and the surrounding situation. When he came to the passage, Huang Shaotian had already dragged the two unconscious staff members to the corner.Seeing Yu Wenzhou approaching, he turned his head and asked, "What's next?"
He obviously hasn't fully adapted to walking with a teammate who can read minds, because although his expression is calm, his inner fluctuations are not concealed at all, and he clearly wrote: "An expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move! The efficiency is very high. That's it! Isn't it handsome—"
Yu Wenzhou: "..."
While watching from the vent, he barely saw the opponent's movements clearly, and the two of them were brought down in a blink of an eye.This is not a normal, trained response and speed by normal human standards.
"Open the dining car, there will be no mechanism inside." He said, and opened a cabinet door first.
The cabinet door on Huang Shaotian's side was locked, and he solved the problem with a few fiddles.When the cabinet door was opened, a very heartbroken expression appeared on his face, but after a short while, he returned to the cold and calm that a killer should have.
"Why are they all compressed food and liquid nutrition—"
Yu Wenzhou could almost hear the roar in his heart.
"They were supposed to deliver food to the lab," he explained with a smile
