Chapter 488: The Core Area of the Base
The sleeping dragon cloud was awakened by a ray of sunlight shining into the room through the window lattice.
Listening in a daze, the whistling wind outside the room had stopped; Getting up and moving his body was a little stiff, and looking out of the broken window, Long Yun found that this day was a rare sunny day.
Well, since it's so close, let's start the investigation right away.
Long Yun didn't have time to think too much about last night's dream, he simply ate some emergency food, hid all the heavy and unnecessary supplies in his room, and then walked to the gravel-buried street with his backpack on his shoulder, looking around in the early morning sun.
After casually looking around for a moment, he quickly walked towards a tall concrete building not far away.
In order to carry out the follow-up work and, more importantly, to ensure efficiency, his first problem now is to clarify the architectural layout and topography of the town, and for this purpose it is necessary to find a commanding height before he can talk about planning the following investigation. Originally, the water tower-style building on the other side of the building was more suitable for a wait-and-see, but looking at the iron ladder that had fallen into disrepair and hung on the side wall, Long Yun dispelled the idea of taking risks, he didn't want any climbing and falling accidents in this uninhabited place.
After choosing a custom high point, Long Yun quickly walked along the corridors and stairs to the top of the building, wrung some weathered locks to the rooftop, and carefully lay on the top of the building and looked around with a telescope, while comparing it with the map in his hand.
This qiē action just now, whether it is opening the creaking iron door, seeing several dried corpses in the building, or looking back and forth on the rooftop to observe. He did it with great care; Although I know that I am the only living person here, that is, no matter how much trouble I make, there is no risk. But the cautious habit in his heart still made Long Yun not careless.
OK. With the information provided by Zakayev and others, Long Yun quickly recognized a large area of buildings that were said to be the core area of the "Dead City", and it was not too far from the building he was in.
According to Zakaev's speculation, the "Rome" base must have undergone extremely terrible changes on the night of the tragedy, so the biggest possibility is that something happened to the research in the base; So to investigate the truth of the tragic night, you need to start with this huge core building.
And in terms of telepathy, it seems that it also comes from the core building, which is also consistent with Long Yun's speculation.
I can see the path to the core area. Long Yun packed up his things and left the rooftop, and when he went downstairs, he deliberately chose a different staircase and corridor path than when he came up, but on the way back to the surface, instead of finding any valuable clues, he found more dried corpses.
In this process, Long Yun, who was both frightened and more sad, gradually had a new faint worry while witnessing the tragic situation of the base personnel.
As he carefully navigated the building, he soon discovered that the tragedy of "Rome" must have happened very suddenly, as evidenced by the fact that the doors of many of the rooms were still locked, and that those who had fallen in the corridors probably did not run out of the rooms, but died on the spot. Such a shocking scene is of course very tragic. But it also worries him a little that the complex that is the core area of the base naturally has a tighter security system. If the people inside were as late as the dead at the time of the tragedy, could it be that those core buildings are still firmly locked to this day?
If that's the case, Long Yun flicked the simple tools in his hand, and then unconsciously smiled bitterly.
The tools he was carrying were so few and too rudimentary that he might be fine to pick a normal lock, but if he ran into a sturdy guard door and concealed lock, there was nothing he could do.
After thinking of this, Long Yun had already begun to regret it a little, his preparations for this adventure were not sufficient at all, otherwise if he dragged the gas cylinder and welding torch over, maybe he wouldn't have to worry about the lock? But as a natural practical character, he didn't dwell on this kind of problem for too long, while carrying a backpack to the core building area, he had already made a plan in his heart, if he could enter the core area, it would be the best, if not, just wander around the surrounding buildings and collect as much information as possible.
The "Rome" base, located in the dry desert, has not changed much after more than ten years of dust, but the sand and dilapidated structures are deposited everywhere, which sometimes causes some trouble.
After crossing two or three streets, Long Yun checked the map, he felt into a small building and looked through the upper window, and found that he had approached the main complex of the "Rome" base, and also saw the corner of the tall and wide concrete wall.
Coming out of the small building and walking to the wide main entrance of the complex, Long Yun's first impression was that it looked like a huge reinforced hangar.
Different from the weathered ordinary buildings around the town, what appeared to Long Yun at this moment was a sturdy structure equivalent to a concrete semi-buried hangar in a large war-ready airport, but the overall size was obviously much larger; Standing in front of the huge sliding door of the reinforced concrete building, Long Yun hesitated for a moment, and then gave up the idea of trying to open the door.
This iron-coated concrete-filled sliding door looks four or five meters high, and weighs about twenty tons; After so many years of exposure to the wind and sun, even if there is an open institution, I don't know if it can still operate.
However, compared to the door that could not be opened at all, the induction of thoughts from behind the door unequivocally reminded Long Yun that he had indeed found the right place; Looking at the security level of this peripheral building, there may be a large number of "energy media" stacked inside, which is also entirely possible.
Sensing that the source of information was inside, Long Yun looked around, and then searched along the corner of the tall wall.
The huge iron gate, which is so troublesome to open, can't it be the only way to access this complex?
With such a guess, Long Yun looked around as he walked, but he felt that the prospect of such a search was also a little slim, he had estimated when he looked at it from the top of the building just now, it seemed that the reinforced concrete fence project surrounding the core area was very huge, and the circumference was probably close to two thousand meters, even if it took a hard turn to come down, it might not be possible to gain anything.
Walking under the scorching sun, just when he was looking for a change of sky without results and wanted to give up, Long Yun found that there seemed to be a recess in the wall in front of him, and he quickened his pace and approached.
He saw a small door.
Oh, it's a small door, and it's a lot bigger than an ordinary doorway, and it's probably a side door for people inside the base to enter and exit; To Long Yun's surprise, the metal door at this entrance didn't seem to be tightly closed, so he tried to reach out and pull the handle that was already a little old. (To be continued......)
