Chapter 161 Entering the base
Chapter 161 Entering the base
After a while, the snow at the entrance of the military base had all melted.
Su Chen even adjusted the placement of the Molotov cocktails to create a path.
When the gates of the military base came into view, something to Su Chen's delight happened.
The gate was wide open, and several people in military uniforms were lying on the ground!
But something seemed off about the appearance of these people.
Judging from their deaths and the pistols and various digging tools scattered around them, it seems they were trying to escape by digging.
However, due to the thickness of the ice, they eventually chose to shoot themselves in despair.
"It's so pitiful, they were trapped and died."
Sun Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Yu Shoujing and the others standing nearby also showed expressions of sympathy.
However, Su Chen felt no sympathy whatsoever, because he sensed something was wrong.
Logically speaking, military bases like this, built underground, are...
Due to its tight security and lack of contact with the outside world, it should have all kinds of facilities.
Even if it's a post-apocalyptic world outside, the base should hold out for a long time.
With extreme cold and blizzards hitting, and less than three months later, this military base couldn't hold out any longer?
Most importantly, Su Chen saw terror and fear in the facial expressions of these dead people!
Could something have happened at the military base?
For example, there might be mutated zombies, or other terrifying things.
In order to escape, these people had no choice but to dig outwards.
But after discovering that the snow had piled up and they couldn't dig an escape route, they had no choice but to commit suicide?!
Su Chen secretly guessed, but didn't say it aloud.
He was also counting on Yu Shoujing and others to pave the way for him.
If we told them, they probably wouldn't go in even if we killed them!
Su Chen rushed ahead and walked to the body.
He put away all the pistols and then searched around the body.
No bullets or anything resembling a diary were found.
"Let's go in."
Su Chen pointed towards the military base, indicating that Yu Shoujing and the others should go in first.
Although the group was unwilling, they had no choice but to follow his instructions and slowly walk into the dark military base.
After giving a few instructions to Liu Ling'er, Zhou Qing, and Lin Yingying over the walkie-talkie, Su Chen followed Yu Shoujing and Sun Yan through the gate.
I have to say, the facilities at military bases are truly impressive.
Despite the passage of time, the emergency lights inside are still working.
Using the dim green light, Su Chen and his group discovered that what appeared before them was a sentry post.
Beside the sentry post, there was a heavy steel door.
The sentry post was naturally empty. Su Chen led Sun Yan and Yu Shoujing through the steel gate.
Behind the steel door is a spacious room containing more than a dozen monitors of various sizes.
Looking at the furnishings and various slogans inside, Su Chen realized that this was a monitoring room specifically responsible for monitoring the outside world.
At this moment, all the screens are black, and nothing can be seen from the outside world.
After discovering nothing new, Su Chen then instructed Sun Yan and her group to head towards the back of the sentry post.
Next was a long and wide downhill passage, let alone Su Chen's Normadison.
Even if three military trucks are traveling side by side, it won't look crowded.
Su Chen followed behind Sun Yan and the others, walking while pondering to himself.
For China, a country known for its massive infrastructure development, such a large-scale project is nothing unusual.
However, the construction of such a magnificent project in such a remote mountain forest is probably not a simple military base.
It might be a place that researches some advanced weapons!
The group walked for an unknown amount of time, passing several sentry posts in succession.
This demonstrates just how heavily guarded this military base was previously.
But as before, these sentry posts were all deserted.
Fortunately, they didn't go too far before Su Chen and his group finally reached the end.
There is another sentry post here, and behind the sentry post is a large open space.
There were many shipping containers piled up on the open ground, and several doors were also nearby.
Upon closer inspection, Su Chen realized that it was actually an elevator door.
These must be the unloading areas.
Once supplies from outside are delivered here, they are then transported to different floors below by the elevator next to them.
Just then, Sun Yan suddenly let out a cry of surprise!
Su Chen and Yu Shoujing were startled and quickly walked towards her.
They then discovered that although there was no one inside the sentry post, the ground was covered with dried blood.
In addition, several rifles were scattered around, and there were many bullet marks.
But to Su Chen and his companions' surprise, they still hadn't seen any people or bodies.
Seeing this, Su Chen became even more certain that something extraordinary must have happened inside the military base.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that Yu Shoujing was crouching down, intending to secretly pick up the rifle on the ground.
"stop!"
Su Chen called out to Yu Shoujing, the muzzle of his gun already pointed at him.
"Mr. Su, please don't misunderstand!"
Yu Shoujing was startled and quickly raised his hands to defend himself.
"I just felt something was wrong and wanted to grab a gun for self-defense!"
At this point, even the most oblivious person would realize that something was amiss at the military base.
"You're overthinking it. What could possibly be going on?"
Su Chen said calmly.
"All of you, stand back and don't pick up the guns on the ground."
Fearing that Su Chen would fire, Sun Yan and Yu Shoujing quickly retreated from their posts.
While they weren't paying attention, Su Chen also put all the rifles on the ground into his storage space.
Regardless of whether Yu Shoujing's words were true or false, Su Chen would not allow them to obtain weapons.
Otherwise, how would he control these people?
The group then crossed the sentry post and arrived at the location where the containers were stored.
Most of the containers were open and empty.
There were only a few unopened containers. Su Chen asked Yu Shoujing to pry them open with tools and found that they were filled with daily necessities.
For example, compressed biscuits, various uniforms, bedding, and the like.
Su Chen pretended not to see Sun Yan, Yu Shoujing, and others taking away some compressed biscuits and uniforms.
For him, these things were better than nothing.
When you turn around and leave, you can use the storage space to take all these things with you.
After searching for a while and confirming that there was nothing on this floor, Su Chen went to the elevator.
The bad news is that the elevator has stopped working.
The good news is that there is also a staircase nearby.
Su Chen looked at Sun Yan and Yu Shoujing.
The group exchanged glances and could only helplessly walk down the stairs.
According to radar scans, this military base extends nearly 100 meters underground and is at least a dozen stories high.
