Chapter 33 Rat's Nest 3
I know very well that the people in this place are hiding in the underground parking lot. They have abandoned the above-ground facilities and moved their living equipment underground. This is a very interesting thing. In the eyes of the robbers who come from all over the world, this place is simply a good place.
A safe haven. Not only are there troops, food, water, and beer here, you can even enjoy the sea view and take a leisurely walk in the old factory. If you have time, you may be able to use torpedoes to fry fish on the beach and catch fish with a gun.
Shrimp and crab.
But there is nothing here. Just kidding, I can’t find anything that can be called useful in this area. And things didn’t develop as we thought. There are neither troops nor guards here.
There are no mountains of food and military equipment.
These circumstances prompted the occupiers here to move underground in order to preserve the only supplies they had and to avoid intrusion from others. They also tried every means to avoid hearing and even made an empty city plan so that the people who came here would be empty-handed.
I came back and was extremely disappointed with everything here.
But we didn't. I noticed the subtle sound of the underground generator, and also saw the intentionally arranged wiring. You see, those wires as thick as fingers also went around the house, around the greenery, and around the warehouse.
, and finally disappeared into the crack of the protective door along the ramp of the underground parking lot.
I have already guessed that there is a large amount of supplies in the lower parking lot. As long as we pry open such an alloy guardrail door, we can have a glimpse of the beauty of underground life, and then we can loot as we like, and finally pull a
The food and equipment in the car were gone. So the situation was like this. I was still wary of this place, and began to carefully observe every corner here.
"Won't they notice that we are here?" Lao Lan pointed to the nearby surveillance camera and asked, "I think they are already loading bullets and are on alert!"
I looked at the old control room that no longer had power, and then looked at Lao Lan’s anxious eyes. His eyes were filled with preparations for war and retreat. At this time, he still had his index finger on the trigger of his pistol, and his eyes looked from time to time.
Any other corner where someone might be hiding. It’s an exaggeration. No one is even watching those surveillance videos.
"But the army has moved out," I reminded. "The living people here are waiting for us to leave quickly. If it weren't for that big iron gate, I wouldn't have stayed here for a day."
We walked into the monitoring room and turned on the dusty display screen. Through the camera of the underground parking lot that was only powered by electricity, we could vaguely see the situation on the second floor of the underground parking lot. There were indeed people there, and there were quite a lot of them. In order
To avoid being discovered, I turned them off again, then turned around and left.
"Then our trip would have been in vain." Wei Lao continued the topic from last time, shook his head, and added: "This does not seem like a good place for tourism. The public beach is several kilometers away from here."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We still have to open their door!"
"It doesn't have to be this way. Our movements determine their actions." I guessed on the sidelines: "They probably haven't noticed that we have broken into this land. As long as we don't make a big fuss and want to take it away,
It shouldn’t be difficult to get some of their supplies.”
"Indeed, there is more than one entrance to the underground parking lot. Guys, we have to pay attention to the fire escapes and stairs. There is no reason why they can't lead to the underground." Wei Lao agreed.
So, we confirmed the ammunition in the pistol and sharpened the ax and dagger. It was already sunset, and it wouldn't take long for us to take advantage of the night and their rest time to conduct a simple search.
Next, we did not continue wandering around, but searched the corridors inside the building one by one. After nightfall, we found a corridor in time and discovered the stairs leading to the underground.
How smart, I thought, if they hadn't locked the door yet.
"Damn it, the stair door is locked," Lao Lan urged worriedly, "We have to find a way to open it quickly"!
"Then we are looking for the key"?
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Wei Lao pushed me away with his pistol. Then he took off his coat and approached the lock. He wrapped the pistol and the lock with his coat and aimed at the buckle on the top of the lock.
Then a shot was fired. There was a muffled "pop" sound, and the iron buckle on the lock snapped. As long as Mr. Wei broke it with his hand, the door could be opened. I just hope that no one would hear the gunshot just now.
Yeah, the sound of that caliber won't be that loud anyway.
"What if we are discovered? How should we deal with so many people down here?" Lao Lan asked such a crucial question when I was about to step into the stairs.
I swallowed my saliva, because I didn’t know what to do about this problem. We encounter many such problems, but the solution is often to run away. So what can you do if you don’t run away?
"How about we change the topic and guess what weird things will be down here?" I smiled bitterly and opened the rusty corridor door. The hinges of the door also made a heart-wrenching "squeak" because of the rust.
Voice.
"I'm serious, man!" Lao Lan looked at the pistols in our hands, as well as the axes and hunting bows hanging on our backpacks, and couldn't help but become timid.
Just as Lao Lan was about to complain to me, Wei Lao pulled him into the stairwell and pushed him down the dark stairwell. It was night now, and we would have enough food in an hour.
It's time to stretch our hands and feet. If everything goes well, we may be able to find the supplies belonging to the military-controlled area without alerting others.
We stepped into this underground parking lot. At this time, most of our attention was focused on observing and eliminating footsteps. There was a depressing atmosphere here that I can't describe, as if we were alone in a cemetery. Soon, we saw
When we arrived at the general layout of the parking lot, it seemed from the plans on the wall and the countless military trucks that there had indeed been people living down there for a while.
It happened to be these military trucks that became the object of my current attention. I also understood something, that is, why the vehicles on the ground could not be seen. The people here drove all the vehicles to the first floor of the underground parking lot.
, and then surrounded them into a guardrail and used vehicles to form a guardrail. Obviously, the occupiers here did not want the materials here to be taken away by others, and they deliberately hid them. From beginning to end, I still didn’t look.
We were half a person. I don’t know whether we were lucky or unlucky.
I spent some time solving the truck puzzle here. To be honest, these trucks were deliberately designed to look like a maze. Moreover, this is an underground parking lot. There will not be any moonlight shining through the hard cement walls. There will be no one to remind you that you are in the wrong place. If you want to find the way out in this dark place, there is only one way, and that is to look for reference objects, such as the safety passage sign above your head, or in the distance. of lights.
So I'm glad I didn't get lost in it.
"Does this look like the slums in Dongcheng District?" I asked Lao Lan, who was shaking beside me.
"Of course"! He talked to me in a bumpy tone: "Maybe the view over there is wider, I even miss the sun over there."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but smile: Even at noon, the sun couldn't penetrate the floor and reach here.
As we chatted, I had already left the truck maze. For a moment, the vehicles were divided into two lanes. One side was a downward ramp: the passage leading to the second underground floor. The other side was an elevator without power. The ramp down was spiral, and then I came down panting. While paying attention to the nearby situation, I also had to be wary of the dangers in dark corners. However, through observation, I found traces of the trolley here, which seemed to have been there not long ago. Someone passed by here. I walked in the direction of the cart and finally found an iron door that couldn't be closed in the parking lot on the second floor.
They're right here.
Observing through the crack in the door, I saw civilians inside. Most of them were wearing old camouflage jackets. A group of people were chatting around a bonfire made of oil drums. Maybe they were discussing some bad things that had happened recently, but these people The conversation was unusually loud. One second I heard them talking about the poor management of the department. The next second they were talking about the bureaucrats, and then they were cursing these people for their misfortune.
How ridiculous, I thought to myself, they still don’t know that walls have ears.
I didn't continue to listen to their nonsense, but went straight to the warehouse with lights on, that was where we really wanted to go. What's more, we didn't have much time, so we took advantage of their dinner time to pick up some things. Go, there is no need to waste time in other places. So I groped the wall and came to the central area, but it was not as dark as I thought. It seemed that someone was guarding something over there...
Sure enough, there were several guards next to the arms box under the fluorescent lamp. However, they were not at work yet. Instead, they were holding spoons and pouring fried rice into their mouths. I looked at the way these people were eating and couldn't help but recall. I used to feel hungry without eating for 24 hours, but it’s not that exaggerated.
Next, Lao Lan and I split into two groups. They were responsible for the enemies wandering outside the parking lot, and I was responsible for dealing with the people resting in the armory. However, I did not intend to kill, at least from the moral bottom line, I still would not If you do this, why can't you talk properly? They may not think so, so I strangled them all to the ground. If I strangled their necks for a few more seconds, they might die.
After cleaning up the few people standing guard, I quietly came to the weapons box. Here were all the weapons in stock in the warehouse on the ground. Naturally, I was too lazy to pick. I found a box that was pleasing to the eye and pried it open with a dagger. , there are all sorts of messy equipment inside.
There are bullets, guns, grenades, and even mortars...
"Ha! Good guy, I didn't make my trip in vain today"! I said to myself excitedly, and after saying that, I was about to reach out and prepare to make a big profit.
So I picked up a Type 79 submachine gun, and also grabbed a large number of submachine gun magazines. While I was happily searching for the equipment in the box, I vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind me.
"Put the things back!" A voice said in the shadow. But I didn't recognize the voice. It didn't belong to Lao Lan. Then, I subconsciously pulled out the pistol from my waist, turned around and pointed it at
The person in the shadow. But the other person had greater arm strength and speed than me. My gun was knocked to the ground, and my arm was held on my back. Then, I took the opportunity to see that person under the fluorescent light.
The appearance of a person.
He is a middle-aged man who looks a little bit older, and even has gray hair on his temples. But judging from his clothes, you can hardly define him as an ordinary person, because this guy looks like a leader
, rather than an ordinary soldier. You can tell from his frog uniform and tactical vest that he is so majestic and decent from beginning to end.
I didn't resist, after all, it was me who had done the wrong thing first. When both of us began to calm down, he released his hand that was restraining me, then walked out of the shadows and pushed me aside. At the same time,
, I also saw Lao Lan and Wei Lao being escorted over by a group of heavily armed men. Their faces looked much worse than mine.
"How did you find this place?" The middle-aged man in the lead asked, his tone extremely serious.
"I passed by and found it." I answered casually, but it aroused his dissatisfaction. When I found that the armed men here were carrying guns and angry, I quickly added: "It was someone who was with us.
As revealed, you have a lot of good stuff here.”
"It's so shameless. Who ordered you? You are too brave. Why?"
I stared at the firearms here and said, "For weapons and food, I guess you must have quite a few here."
At this time he looked extremely angry and grabbed me by the collar.
Just when I was still explaining my recklessness and bitter smile, I heard other voices besides us. Of course, everyone present noticed this strange sound, so the middle-aged uncle let go
He lifted his hand, turned his head, and looked towards the dormitory room.
I heard it, it was a scream. At the same time, a guard shouted in the distance: "There is an intruder!"
Then there was a burst of rapid gunfire that echoed in this wide underground parking lot, and it was the first time I saw their panicked expressions. At this time, they no longer paid attention to us. Obviously, except for us,
Chapter completed!
