Phew-

Nikolai struggled to gather the last vestiges of consciousness in his body and jerked the trigger on his own foot. The bullet went straight through the musculature of his thigh and into the ground.

This is an adventure for Nikolai, there is an artery in the thigh, if you are not careful, it will cause heavy bleeding, in this kind of ice and snow barren mountains and mountains, no one can save himself.

Being able to serve in the paratrooper army and then retire to become an industrial tycoon in Moscow, Nikolai is not a man who can't support the wall, except for the help of the Liberation Society. At critical moments, he is more ruthless than anyone else, even to himself, and he can be ruthless!

"Ahh

Even so, the severe pain still caused him to involuntarily tilt his body, and the person fell to his knees.

He didn't dare to raise his head at all, but raised the palm of his left hand, and as far as his eyes could see, there was a strange layer of scales on his skin. If you look closely, it's not scales, but a layer of skin that has been petrified away.

The "cargo" in the container has escaped from the cage. As an agent of the Mezhgorje operation, Nikolai was of course well aware of what he was carrying, and Yuri and Dmitry and the like, including the bodyguards, thought that his boss was just a shady arms deal with the army, maybe a dirty bomb, maybe a nuclear bomb, maybe a biological weapon or something. After all, this kind of business is not uncommon after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the former world's two largest military-industrial powers, the Eastern Pillar desperately made many unbelievable weapons during the Cold War, once the country disintegrates, the army is out of control, and the economy collapses, there is nothing that cannot be traded.

Nikolai, however, knew what was inside the container, which was gray, shiny with silver, like a large petrochemical tank.

In secret Russian government archives, Mežgorye's drilling project is called "Hell's Gate," another name.

When the drill bit broke through 10,000 meters, strange visions grew, and these were secretly recorded in the archives of the military and the government, and no one except for the project participants and a few high-ranking officials knew what was really going on in the two fortresses of Beloretsk-15 and Beloreetsk-16 in Mezhgorye.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the project came to a halt, and a few years later, Nikolai, who had already made a fortune and became a follower of the Liberation Order, received a task from Dr. Haines, the chief deacon of the Deacon's Ministry, to connect with the Kremlin and try to obtain the results of the Mezhgorje "Gates of Hell" project.

Achievement? Nikolai was full of doubts when he received a call from Haines, what "results" could be tossed out by a pair of engineers and scientists from a messy department in that inconspicuous town?

But what Haynes told him next made him almost scared to drop the microphone.

According to the information obtained by Haines, the collapse of the former Soviet Union was at the end of 1991, when the whole country was in chaos, the army and the people were all used to make revolutions on Red Square, and the brothers in the union of various republics had their own evil intentions to fight for independence. In this case, the Kremlin has long been preoccupied with itself, and Mezhgorye has become a forgotten place.

It's just that there will always be no shortage of fanatics in this world, especially in the group of scientists, and the chances of producing such strange people will be greater. Among the leading team of scientists in Mezhgorje was a guy named Kryuchkov, who studied geology and physics, but also had a soft spot for theology.

While the others were leaving, Kryuchkov chose to stay with some of his students and engineers, a man of passion, so he stirred up the momentum, gathered everyone in the large conference room, and gave an impassioned speech that finally convinced everyone that their excavation would uncover a major discovery that would turn human history and religious history upside down.

As a result, nearly a third of them remained, and these fanatical followers were loyal to Kryuchkov, and with the little money they had left, they thoroughly carried forward the spirit of "Nanniwan" in the neighborhood, the family was responsible for plowing the land, the men took turns to hunt in the mountains, and the energy depended on cutting timber in the mountains, and some of them could be used for their own use and some could be exchanged for gasoline and diesel.

At the most difficult time, Kryuchkov even used the money from the Andrei family to buy necessities such as drill bits and drilling equipment on the black market in Moscow to keep the project afloat.

Of course, Kryuchkov was indeed an excellent geologist, in fact, the "Hell's Gate" project drilled a total of four wells, and all of them were drilled to a depth of 10,000 meters, Kryuchkov locked himself in his office, studied with a few colleagues for three days and three nights, and finally with a wave of his hand, cut down three wells that he thought were the least likely to have a "historic" discovery, leaving only one of the wells called "T3" code name.

Such an arrangement was tantamount to a layoff in the company, which greatly saved drilling costs and money, so that the project really operated under his plan, without any material support from Moscow for two years, including the Andrei family, which was already involved in the power struggle of the collapse of the Soviet Union, thought that the project had already been stopped, after all, most of the engineering staff had been withdrawn, and the project could not have a chance to continue to operate.

The result was such a beautiful misunderstanding that Kryuchkov really made a fuss, and if it was more accurate, he did fulfill his original promise - to find something that could subvert "human history and religious history".

It's just that this achievement did not make Kryuchkov equal to honor or even a blockbuster, but immediately killed him.

Well T3 was originally drilled to more than 13,000 meters, which was the official record, which was already the highest known human drilling depth at that time, and under Kryuchkov's operation, this record continued to grow by leaps and bounds, until it reached 15,000 kilometers by leaps and bounds.

Fifteen thousand kilometers. On June 6, 1992, a very inauspicious day finally reached late at night.

As the last drill bit for drilling broke in the piercing cracking sound, a stream of colorful light rose into the sky, overturning the entire drilling equipment to the ground, and the scene was in shambles, and the 46 engineers in charge of the construction were killed on the spot.

Kryuchkov, who had heard the news, rushed to the present with his men and saw a surprising vision.

The sky over the entire town of Merzygorje was covered with a strange glow in the clouds, and according to records from the time, people within a few hundred miles of the neighborhood could see the strange colored light in that sky, and many people mistakenly thought it was the aurora.

After that, the Kremlin in Moscow received an urgent distress message from Mezhgorye, which contained only two words - help.

The 104th Regiment, which was in charge of the vigilance of Mezhgorje, was ordered to rush to this town where no one should have existed, only to find that all the people in that town had died, and the way of death was exactly the same - petrification.

Even the 104th Regiment, which had just entered Mezhgorje, lost a lot of people, and the cause of death was exactly the same, all of which were turned into stone sculptures, according to the military report.

Eventually, the military mobilized a large force, and Moscow sent a group of scientists to it, and finally the situation was brought under control after a few days, and a "from hell" thing was obtained.

This thing is trapped in the container of today's Ural truck, trapped in a container of silver-lead alloy.
