Steel Steam and Flame

Chapter 46: Cavity



   Going down from the rope ladder, the darkness below is like the air filled with the whole body forever, it seems that he can get into his body with his breath. Gustin did not turn on the bright light in his hand, and after spreading out his cross pupils, he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness.

   He was a little surprised at the degree of closure here, as if it was another endless dark world. Inside, from the air inhaled from his lungs, he could feel the huge and empty sense of emptiness here.

   A dimly yellow miner’s lamp lit up. He did not become a swaying beacon in the dark, but instead the tiny light did not leave a few steps around Gustin, and was eaten away by the life-like darkness. He now stayed halfway up on a stone pillar connecting the ground and sky of this world.

   The sky is a network of underground waterways like the old tree above your head. Of course, the ground is the real ground called the mine. Here is a huge semi-natural and semi-man-made underground cavity, where you can see the traces of mining and the tools completely rusted out.

  The looting weapon workshop can also accidentally discover the secret entrance hidden there. The urban legend collection in Klitsch's hands had no meaning for them to venture down. But when they turned over another document with the name "Norida" in the shop, the action that should have been meaningless became necessary to go in and take a look.

  Is there any unknown connection with Nolida?

All four of them were wounded more or less, Gustin was the lightest, so they filled their stomachs with the food left in the workshop, made a simple supply in the workshop, and separated from Klitsch and the others. One person got off the rope ladder.

   This rope ladder is terribly long, and he estimates it is several hundred meters in length. If he wasn't attached to the same huge stone pillar as himself, Gustin really didn't know how ordinary people could guarantee that they would not get down the rope ladder like falling leaves.

   Below the rope ladder is an open space. There are two wooden houses built temporarily and roughly, half of which are embedded in the recessed rock and unguarded. There is an old gas lamp in it, which he has only seen in the museum in Manoma. The traces of human activities left behind were about four days ago, and the owner of the workshop did not seem to come down frequently.

   Not long after he continued to look forward, his cross pupils found many lights that were faintly lit behind him, and gradually more people followed him. The last is the constant gunshots from the entrance, which lasted for a long time without stopping.

   It took a long time for the gunfire to cease, and then he sneaked past. The open space under the rope ladder was bright as day, and it became a habitat for a few rays of light in this dark time. Two head-sized high-pressure mercury lamps were raised high on the edge of the clearing, covered with trumpet-shaped bulletproof steel leather. Under the lamps, five or six people were filling burlap bags with broken rocks and began to hurriedly build bulletproof walls. In the expansion of the two simple wooden houses, and the use of simple lifting devices to lower many things from the entrance.

  Ammunition and firearms are the main materials, as well as the energy required for food and lights, all of which are slowly transported down one by one through a rope that is several hundred meters long.

Heavy machine guns have also been set up on the left and right sides of the clearing. The golden bullet chain is shining with cold light, and the gunner’s finger has been pressed on the trigger. There is a little movement. This little monster that can shoot seven or eight hundred bullets per minute is just It can tear an approaching enemy into pieces with a wide range of firepower. At the edge of the light, the body of the challenger sieved into a sieve was lying there in silence, just like the quiet darkness here.

   Then Gustin left quietly.

   There will be a fortress of firepower in the near future, and with the two pistols and hundreds of ordinary bullets that he is carrying, it will not be a threat to them. There may still be a chance for a surprise attack, but it doesn't make sense anymore.

   This is already the case under the rope ladder, and the firepower at the entrance will only be stronger than here. Conquering here does not guarantee that you can still go up, but will involve yourself

   It's okay if they don't act. They seem to have stabbed the most ferocious and violent hornet's nest. Now the hornets are red eyes, venting their anger with others in the underground waterway.

   Gustin can only observe the situation there from far away. He knows that Klitsch and the others will definitely come here again and take themselves out.

   The time is calculated according to the healing speed of the wound on Klitsch, the fastest is three days later, if you add the time of preparation and testing, the accurate time is probably just four days later. Gustin calculated the time, and then began to allocate his daily food supply. He can't wait here all the time. There can't be only one entrance. In these few days of blank time, he has to go to other places to see, at least to find out the most basic situation of this area.

   Rest well, Gustin spread out his cross pupils, and his figure was swallowed by darkness.

   And Gustin's unconscious random action this time is like a leaf that accidentally falls down on a calm lake in autumn. Although it was only a thin layer of ripples, it cannot be denied that this layer of ripples will definitely spread to every inch of the lake surface, breaking the mirror-like silence.

   So this was used as a signal by many people. Whether it was arms smugglers or those students who were wiping weapons and eager to move, their respective actions revolved around the workshop and gradually became active in the dark night and shadow of the city.

   The iron warehouse has become lively in the past few days. The number of mercenaries recruited in it has reached the hundredth, and the open space is full. When the employer did not let them carry their guns to work, they drank and slept in their tents. No one knows how long this kind of life will be ended by one or several bullets~www.readwn.com~employment The life of a soldier is one day.

  Moore leaned against the cargo shelf, holding in his hands the maps of underground waterways collected by his men over the past few days, as well as a thick pile of real city scenes shot with a camera. They originally wanted to rent a propeller plane for aerial photography in Gerun City. The photos taken by the aerial machinery on it were far wider and clearer than what he had in hand. But not only is the price too expensive, but the appetite of the officials here is much larger than that of the surrounding areas.

   Moore, who has been dealing with officials from all walks of life, also touched his head for the first time. However, those machinery were controlled to death by the empire. The officials would rather put them there and be corroded by red rust than to drop a little fee.

   "A group of guys whose heads are also rusty." He remembered the photos and maps in his hands and exclaimed.

   At this time, a student-like person walked out of the dense cargo shelf behind him, looked at him and nodded, then continued to hurriedly walk towards the cargo box house at the bottom.

  Moore looked thoughtfully at the student's hurried back.

   And Li was already waiting there, his snow-white face was painted today, and his eyebrows were outlined like the manager Cassia a few days ago.

   "Mr. Hill, is this still in your plan." The student walked in with a cold face and took out a few photos from his arms, blurry and clear. But there is no doubt that what was shot inside was the weapon production workshop that had been turned into a fortress of firepower in less than half a day. It was the entry point they had already explored, but they didn’t know who took it first~www.readwn.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at~www.readwn .com~For mobile phone users, please go to read.
