Chapter 1477: Chapter 853:
"616 Underground Project... Ruins." Yang Tianlong muttered as he brushed away the leaves and mud soaking the surface.
A few seconds later.
"Damn, it’s a ruins tourist spot???" Yang Tianlong shouted belatedly in confusion.
Li Yu covered his eyes with both hands and nodded helplessly, saying, "Yeah, it’s already a ruins tourist spot. It was developed before the Doomsday as a tourist attraction."
Third Uncle and the others rushed over upon hearing Yang Tianlong’s exclamation, and when they saw the words on the stone, they remained silent for a long period.
At this moment, news came from Old Qin: "Captain, did you find it? Should I fly the helicopter over?"
Third Uncle thought for a moment, looked at this piece of open ground, and realized it was indeed feasible to land here.
So he said, "Sure, northeast corner, a straight line of two kilometers, you’ll see an open space halfway up the mountain, you can come over."
Old Qin was evidently very excited upon hearing this.
"Did you find it? How is it?"
"It’s hard to say right now, you should come over first." Third Uncle said sullenly.
...
The crowd stood in front of the huge stone for quite a while.
Only until Third Uncle broke the silence: "Xiao Yu, what do you think? Should we dig it open and take a look?"
Li Yu shrugged and said, "Since we’re here, it won’t take long to dig open those mud and rocks anyway, why not take a look inside?"
Third Uncle nodded, saying: "Yeah, I think so too, then... let’s start digging."
Everyone took out the collapsible shovels from the motorcycles, extended them, and began to excavate and clean the mud and rocks at the entrance.
It wasn’t long before they heard the hum of the helicopter from above.
Li Yu turned to see it was Old Qin, then ignored him and continued digging.
Soon, Old Qin had landed the helicopter, and he came running down excitedly to say to everyone, "Did you find it so quickly? You’re already starting to dig."
Ant said nothing, sullenly digging with the shovel.
Yang Tianlong stuck the shovel into the soil and said to Old Qin, "Uncle Qin, look at the writing on that stone back there."
Old Qin looked at the somewhat odd expressions of the group, discovering how the military base was still so calm.
Shouldn’t they be happy?
He went over to the stone, studied it carefully.
A few seconds later, the smile on his face disappeared visibly to the naked eye.
This is... a bit awkward.
Ah, since we’re here.
It’d be nice to dig it open and see, even though there’s a high probability there’s nothing inside, you’d only be able to put your heart at rest after seeing it.
So he took a shovel and joined the excavation team.
With six people digging, the speed was fast.
After more than twenty minutes, they had cleared the mud and rocks to reveal an entrance.
At the forefront of the entrance, there was a collapsed iron gate. On the iron gate, there was a sign with the same words written on it with red paint as on the big stone outside.
Everyone looked at each other.
Their faces were filled with speechless expressions.
"Let’s go, take a look inside." Li Yu fastened the visor of his helmet, then said to everyone.
Third Uncle said to Old Qin, "Old Qin, you stay by the entrance and also watch the helicopter. Report to us immediately if there are any problems. We’re going in to take a look."
Old Qin nodded at the words, "Okay, I’ll wait for you outside."
Looking at the dark cave entrance, Li Yu was about to walk in when Ant took the lead, moving ahead of him.
Li Yu didn’t rush and followed closely behind.
Next were Third Uncle and Yang Tianlong, with Jackals bringing up the rear.
The cave was quite tall, roughly six or seven meters high, and the width on both sides was also quite long, a good seven or eight meters.
They turned on their headlamps, illuminating the interior of the cave.
On the walls to the left and right, there were some display windows.
Li Yu walked to the display windows for a look and saw some information about this military base inscribed on them.
From this, they learned it once took over ten years to build this place, initially used as a nuclear-proof project.
But later on, it was abandoned for reasons unknown.
From this, Li Yu knew that this place was constructed in the 1950s and 60s.
It consumed countless time, effort, and resources, hollowing out almost half of the mountain.
Arriving here, Li Yu began to think about retreating, although before coming in, he had thought of taking a chance to see if he could find anything good.
But there was nothing inside.
As they walked, they ventured deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, Li Yu saw dried blood stains on a transparent display case, with some human bones appearing on the ground.
This underground base, if the gates were robust, would be quite suitable as a doomsday shelter.
It was completely unaffected by typhoons inside here.
Upon seeing the bones on the ground, Li Yu furrowed his eyebrows.
At this moment, Third Uncle spoke: "Everyone, be careful, there may be zombies inside, move cautiously, don’t alert the zombies."
There was some truth to what Third Uncle said.
Just upon entering, the iron gate had collapsed to the ground, and this cave was deep and damp, a favored habitat for zombies.
These human bones on the ground, possibly from people who hid here during the Doomsday outbreak and were then wiped out by zombies.
After about five minutes of walking, a spacious area appeared in front of them.
It covered approximately two to three hundred meters and was also over ten meters high; along the top of the walls, there was a second level.
