Chapter 260 Dayu controls floods
Although there was a bumper harvest of weapons and equipment, there was not much left in the military supply warehouse. This was normal. During the flood season, the victims had to be rescued and there was no effective supply, so food was consumed the fastest.
But Ai Wanxin didn't care, she had no shortage of food.
After cleaning the warehouse, the four entered the infrastructure area of the camp. Communication facilities, power supply equipment, water supply and drainage equipment, etc. are all located in this area.
What surprised Ai Wanxin was that the buildings in this area did not suffer much damage.
Yin Yanhan opened the steel firewall that automatically dropped down at the gate, revealing a long, deep and dark corridor.
He Yang turned on the flashlight on the terminal of his left arm and stepped into the gate first.
"Sweetheart, going down from here is the underground part of the camp, which is also used as an air-raid shelter during war. I don't know if there will be people or zombies hiding in there, so you still have to be careful."
"If there is, that would be great." Ai Wanxin followed him in, gave him the high-intensity flashlight in the space, and gave one to Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qing respectively. "I never thought that there would be a day when I would find it so strange that there are no zombies in a place."
She also gave the three of them wireless communication headsets to ensure that they could get in touch in time even if they got separated in the maze-like underground air-raid shelter.
The four of them walked to the end of the corridor and went down the stairs. Because the ventilation system had stopped working, they could only exchange air through natural ventilation ducts as thick as bowls. The further they went down, the colder and more turbid the air became.
In order to avoid being poisoned unknowingly, Ai Wanxin took out four military gas masks.
Without exception, the three of them rejected him with complicated expressions.
Ai Wan figured it out in her mind. If you weigh the idol baggage of the three of them, it must weigh at least a thousand pounds. The one who has no idol baggage is Brother Pei.
(Pei Junlin, who has never seen himself wearing a mask, said: It’s just another fashion item of mine~)
Going down to the first floor, Yin Yanhan opened the tightly closed heavy alloy gate and entered a circular hall with a high ceiling.
On the metal walls surrounding the circular hall, there are four alloy doors, with four huge logos A, B, C, and D engraved on the sides.
He Yang turned on the terminal and projected the three-dimensional image of the underground fortifications of the 9th Mountain Division camp obtained from the military headquarters into the air.
"The entire underground facility has three floors and is divided into four areas. Area A is the communication and power supply area, Area B is an air-raid shelter that can accommodate the masses, Area C is a temporary military area, and Area D is the water supply, drainage and pipe well ventilation area."
"Where is the center of the command center?" Ai Wanxin asked.
He Yang pointed to the alloy door with a capital A engraved on it: "Over there."
Without delay, the four of them passed through the molten alloy gate and advanced deep into Area A.
On both sides of the long and deep corridor, the emergency lights are still working tenaciously.
He Yang put away the flashlight, called up the floor plan of the first floor of Area A and zoomed in for a closer look.
"Sweetheart, this floor is the power supply area. The communication equipment and central server are all on the bottom floor. Should we go straight down?"
"It's all here..."
Who wouldn't want electrical equipment that can supply energy to the entire camp?
Facts have proved that this trip was worthwhile. Those generator sets were better than the ones that the black-hearted boss wanted to sell to her at that time. Ai Wanxin packed the generator sets, which almost took up a space as large as a basketball court, into the space beautifully.
She walked contentedly to the bottom floor, calculating how much to leave for Frost City, when she wasn't paying attention and her nose almost hit the back of He Yang who suddenly stopped.
It was Tuoba Qing who was behind her who reached out and grabbed her in time.
"What's wrong?" She leaned her head out from He Yang's side and looked forward curiously.
After seeing this, she finally understood why He Yang didn't leave.
In front of them was a staircase leading downwards. The lower half of the stairs was submerged in darkness. Ai Wanxin raised her hand and "clicked" on a high-intensity flashlight, illuminating the lower half of the stairs that was submerged in the dark groundwater.
And the third underground floor where the command center is located.
"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step." He Yang forced a smile, "Ninety percent of the things in life are not what you want to see."
"Why don't we open the drainage system?" Tuoba Qiong took half a step forward and said.
"It's too troublesome." Ai Wanxin shook her head. She had to go back to Area D. She pushed He Yang aside and walked down the stairs. "Let me do it."
After saying that, she reached her hand into the freezing cold groundwater.
The dirty groundwater was purified as soon as it entered the space. After a long ten minutes, Ai Wanxin had successfully reached the bottom floor. There was only a shallow layer of water under their feet, reflecting the rippling light.
He Yang praised: "Sweetheart, your trick is comparable to Dayu's flood control!"
Ai Wanxin took out a bottle of clean water. Yin Yanhan took it and helped her unscrew it, then turned the bottle upside down for her to wash her hands.
Ai Wanxin raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course not, it still has to be me."
After solving the groundwater problem, He Yang led the way and continued walking towards the equipment room.
Ai Wanxin and Yin Yanhan lagged behind half a step, and Yin Yanhan warmed her hand which had just been immersed in the cold water.
Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Brother Han, I have fire-type abilities, so I am not cold."
He Yang suddenly turned around and condemned him with his eyes: "My sweetheart said she is not ~cold~, let go quickly--"
"Bang——" With a loud bang, Ai Wanxin didn't even have time to open her mouth to stop him, and the back of He Yang's head hit hard on a hanging ventilation duct.
The long, reverberating sound of the collision was transmitted far away along the pipe.
Looking at He Yang's stunned expression, Ai Wanxin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yin Yanhan's lips curled up into a smile. He raised his hand to control the ventilation duct back to the ceiling. "Captain He, when we return to Glory City, would you consider looking at the cerebellum?"
He Yang felt that he was so angry at him that he was hallucinating. Why was his head buzzing?
However, he soon realized that it was not the buzzing sound in his head, but a rustling sound coming from deep in the ventilation duct, as fine and dense as a heavy rain.
The other three people naturally also heard this unusual sound. Ai Wanxin raised her head slightly and looked at the top of the passage. She saw that every few meters there was a ventilation hole with an iron mesh.
The chaotic rustling sound started out like a trickle, then gradually grew louder and louder, rushing towards where the four people were like a flood.
The iron mesh of the vent trembled slightly, and Ai Wanxin said quietly: "I have a bad feeling..."
They were in an aisle that was less than 2 meters wide and not suitable for combat. He Yang quickly scanned the floor plan of the bottom floor of Area A and said in a deep voice, "The equipment room is one hundred meters ahead on the right. Let's go there."
Just as he was about to take a step, the rustling sound like thunder suddenly stopped for a moment.
Ai Wanxin raised her eyes and saw two dark brown, thin and long thread-like tentacles swaying out from the holes in the iron mesh of the vent.
