Chapter 259 Picking up a division’s equipment for free

The camp of the 9th Mountain Division was originally a station on the old line of the Yidongling Railway, which was later expanded and rebuilt.

The expanded camp covers a very large area, spanning two hills, and is roughly divided into a military administrative area and a living area.

The place where Ai Wanxin and the others landed was the physical training ground in the military administrative district, adjacent to which were also the tactical training ground and shooting range.

Not far away from the training area is the office area, where the combat meeting room, intelligence center, administrative office and command center are all located.

only......

In front of the four people was a charred ruin that had collapsed into a small hill. Only a charred wall was still standing on the side. The window frames had all melted, leaving only black window holes, which emitted wails like ghosts crying in the howling north wind.

Ai Wanxin looked at the pile of ruins in front of her, which was almost as big as the top of the imperial mausoleum, and asked hopefully, "Generally speaking, which floor is the command center on?"

"......Yeah." He Yang grinned, "Usually one layer, baby."

There is no way to get one layer, just dig.

He Yang took a step forward with both hands outstretched. The ground beneath the four people's feet shook. Snow fell from the "treasure top" with a flutter, and gravel and rubble rolled down with a rumble.

The metal filing cabinets and other furniture and sundries in the ruins were moved to the open space by Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qiong using their special powers.

Soon, He Yang moved a huge stone slab, revealing the hall that served as the command center.

The hall of the command center was originally nearly ten meters high, with two large electronic screens embedded on the wall for real-time display of various information such as environment, weather, electromagnetic spectrum, and combat data.

There are dozens of seats in the hall, each equipped with a terminal, forming a semicircle to guard the holographic topographic map in the center.

But now it is impossible to recognize the original appearance of the command center.

The metal table melted and solidified into iron lumps of various shapes. On the dark ground, sticky black marks appeared from time to time. They were traces left by the melting of the leather back chairs.

The terminal, electronic screen and holographic projector were all destroyed and almost burned to charcoal.

Ai Wanxin frowned in pain: "This is too thoroughly burned."

He Yang comforted her, "Sweetheart, it's okay. The command center's core is not built on the ground. We'll go to the underground equipment room to take a look later."

As they spoke, the four of them stepped into the ruins and carefully checked every corner of the command center.

However, basically all the clues that might have been left have been burned.

Ai Wanxin's eyes darkened slightly: "A normal fire wouldn't burn to this extent, right?"

He Yang shook his head: "If it was because of a zombie outbreak and the camp was in chaos, and these electronic devices caught fire, they would not be able to burn these metal operating tables anyway."

"We can only go to the underground equipment room to check," he continued.

Ai Wanxin walked out, and when she stepped on the sole of her foot, it seemed that something sharp was touching it.

She lifted her foot, leaned over, grabbed the piece of metal with only a tiny tip sticking out of the ground, and pulled it out with force.

It was a coin-sized badge, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with its surface covered in carbon black stains.

Ai Wanxin took out a wet tissue and wiped it, revealing the pattern carved on it.

"What is this?" She looked at the mountain-shaped emblem in front of her and asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

The three sentries approached quickly, and He Yang and Tuoba Qiong exclaimed at the same time: "It's the badge of the Academy of Sciences!"

Ai Wanxin suddenly remembered that she had seen this logo on the body of the mental power measuring instrument and the shielding device, a towering and cold snowy mountain.

"Why is the Academy of Sciences badge here?" She looked at the Snow Mountain badge in her hand and asked curiously, "Is it a souvenir?"

He Yang took the badge and looked at it carefully. He shook his head solemnly, "No, sweetheart, look at its top. There is an extra sun compared to ordinary badges. This is an honorary badge only awarded to outstanding scientists, not a souvenir."

"Also, this is the military command center. Soldiers entering and leaving here are not allowed to wear jewelry."

"It was dropped by an outsider..."

Not only was it dropped by an outsider, but it should have been dropped shortly before the accident, otherwise it would have been picked up and put away by someone.

That is to say, there was a person from the Academy of Sciences who was qualified to wear this medal and he had arrived here before the incident.

Ai Wanxin lowered her eyes and thought carefully.

who is it?

Where did you go?

Is it related to the incident here?

However, a badge alone cannot prove anything. Perhaps this scientist, like Academician Yang Jici, just happened to be working in Yidongling, encountered a flood, and was rescued back to the camp by the 9th Mountain Division. This is also very likely.

She put the badge into the space and put it away, saying, "Look through it carefully again."

The other three naturally had no objection. They searched the hall of the command center again, almost digging deep into the ground, but they did not find anything unusual, not even a single decent object.

Ai Wanxin took out the badge again and said with some emotion: "What kind of material is this? Why does it melt at such a high point?"

He Yang said: "It is made of tungsten alloy. It never fades, has a very high melting point and hardness, and is not expensive. These are qualities that scientists like, so we use it to forge the badge of honor."

Ai Wanxin asked curiously: "How do you know so clearly?"

"Auntie Yang has several pieces. She told me so."

It turned out to be the case.

Tuoba Qiong interrupted and said, "We have already searched the command center, and it seems that there are no other clues. Why don't we go to the underground central equipment room to have a look?"

Ai Wanxin nodded, and He Yang led the three of them through the office area and walked towards the infrastructure area of ​​the camp.

On the way, Ai Wanxin looked at a row of large warehouses neatly arranged in the distance and asked casually, "What is that?"

He Yang raised his eyes and glanced: "Oh, a warehouse, for storing weapons, ammunition, armored vehicles and other military supplies."

"That one over there is a helicopter landing pad, for helicopters."

Ai Wanxin slowly turned her head towards him: "...There is a helicopter, and you're just telling me now?"

He Yang reacted immediately. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Sweetheart, the equipment of the Ninth Mountain Division is very good. Let's go take a look?"

It was really good. After a tour of the ten warehouses and helicopter landing pads, Ai Wanxin's space was filled with dozens of AH-64 attack helicopters, UH-60A multi-purpose helicopter racks, reconnaissance helicopters, and electronic warfare helicopters, as well as anti-tank missile launchers, light towed howitzers, various types of mortars, anti-aircraft missile launchers, machine guns, heavy machine guns, automatic rifles, radio stations, as well as night vision equipment and countless vehicles.

He picked up an entire division's worth of equipment for nothing, and even this strange camp began to seem a little cute in Ai Wan's eyes.
