Chapter 24 317 Base

It took half a minute for me to finally react.

Two rows of faint blue lights were just enough to illuminate the road, which was paved with stone bricks and glowed with water in the dim light.

"I... let's go in and take a look?"

Li Chong swallowed and looked towards me.

"Let's take a look..."

I haven't recovered from the shock. Who would have thought that there is a cave inside this air-raid shelter?

And looking at the scale, it's definitely not small!

There are lights on both sides of the corridor, indicating that there is a power supply here, and the buzzing sound that keeps echoing in the ears is probably the sound of a generator.

The iron door was opened just now, which should have turned on the generator switch.

Standing in front of the corridor, I couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite design here. What is this place used for?

Stepping into the corridor, the stone brick pavement is a little wet due to moisture and is easily slippery when walking.

Under the light of my flashlight, the nooks and crannies on both sides of the corridor were covered with moss.

It seems that the humidity here is really heavy. Logically speaking, it should not be a return to humidity climate.

Xiao Leng followed closely behind me, and a group of five people walked quietly in the corridor.

The corridor is not deep, and we reach the end after three to five meters. In front of us is an iron door with a seal. The iron door is rusty, but it is not locked.

Looking up, you can vaguely see a line of red painted characters.

'317 Military Industrial Base'

My heart is beating fast. Is this a military industrial base? !

"317?"

Old Man Sun's vicissitudes of voice came from behind him. He raised his head and carefully identified the line of red letters above his head.

Suddenly Mr. Sun trembled, "It's actually 317?!"

"Any idea?"

I asked over my shoulder.

Mr. Sun shook his head, "Fifty years ago, my father worked at Base 317... Later, when he came home, he was covered with a national flag...?"

"I was sixteen years old that year. Since then, I have checked many things about the 317 Military Industrial Base, but at the time, it was top secret."

Mr. Sun said slowly and came forward from behind.

A pair of wrinkled hands touched the rusty iron door, and Mr. Sun stared slowly. At this moment, he seemed to have traveled through time and space.

Fifty years ago, his father also walked through this door.

"Let's go in and have a look. If there is a place to live, it will definitely be better than outside."

After that, the iron door creaked across the ground.

'Dong dong——'

The seal fell to the ground, and in front of us was a very wide space.

Senbai white strip lights illuminate both sides. The ceiling is at least five meters high, and there is a metal lifting platform in the distance. The platform is about ten square meters.

This place was built by hollowing out the entire mountain. The highest point is twenty or thirty meters high, leading directly to the top of the mountain.

I didn't expect it to be so big here. The highest top is capped with a stone wall.

Judging from the position of the stone wall, I am afraid that it was the cement embankment on the top of the mountain that I saw. I originally thought it was used to prevent landslides, but now it seems that I thought too simply.

On the top of the mountain, there is a huge aluminum cylinder, like a water storage tank outside an industrial park, but I don't know what is inside, maybe it is chemical raw materials.

As we moved forward, the horror in our hearts was hard to calm down. Apart from the horror, the only thing left was excitement.

Roughly speaking, it is divided into three areas, the operation area, the test area and the living area.

At this moment we stopped in front of an open iron door, and the excitement on everyone's face could not be concealed.

Here, there is a bed!

The living area has two parts, one side is a large bunk with dozens of beds, and the other side is where we are now, a corridor with twelve independent rooms.

This should be a residence for important scientific researchers.

At the end of the corridor, there is a water room. The bright mirror in the water room reflects the appearance of several of us.

We are like a bunch of beggars.

Xiao Leng lowered his head beside me, not daring to look at himself in the mirror.

And old man Sun passed me and walked towards the sink.

He turned the faucet skillfully.

'Puff——'

Something unexpected happened. There were several explosions from the faucet, and a thick column of turbid water spurted out from the pipe!

"Is there water?!!"

Xiao Leng exclaimed! My arm was pinched very tightly by Xiao Leng!

Where does the water come from?

I started to get confused when I saw this scene.

The water in the faucet, from turbid at first to clear later, did not look polluted.

"There is water... there is electricity..."

Li Xiang slowly uttered a few words, even his voice was trembling.

"There is also a bed..."

During the past few days of sleeping in the air-raid shelter, I was on tenterhooks every night.

Return of moisture, smell of blood, hard floors, monsters...

These days, everyone's spirit has been extremely depressed, and they can only rely on one breath to hold on. Now that they suddenly have a place to live, they are almost knocked unconscious by happiness.

What makes Xiao Leng excited is the water!

Water means you can take a shower!

However, what I care about most is where the water comes from and whether it is contaminated by nuclear weapons.

Looking up along the water pipes, there is a main pipe on the top of the water room, and the place where the main pipe is connected is the aluminum water tank outside the operating area, a water storage tank twenty to thirty meters long...

Hundred-ton tank!

In other words, hundreds of tons of water that is not contaminated by nuclear weapons are stored inside!

I know what this means!

One hundred tons, enough for the five of us to use for a long time!

Even if it's not full, it still uses more than the bottled water and barreled water pipes we brought from outside.

Moreover, there should be a complete water storage and circulation system here, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there is such heavy moisture in the air-raid shelter!

Everything makes sense...

"Brother, can the water here be used?"

Xiao Leng grabbed my hand and shook it, his dirty face full of excitement.

"able..."

Xiao Leng's voice brought me back to reality, "The water here is from the water storage tank outside. It is not contaminated by nuclear weapons, and it has an independent water circulation system."

After the words fell, Xiao Leng held my hand tighter.

"Brother...I want...I want to take a bath..."

Xiao Leng stammered, with a look of shame on his dirty little face.

Li Xiang and Li Chong's faces were also full of hope. It was obvious that they couldn't stand the filth on their bodies.

I can't stand it either. The dead skin on my arms is still stuck in my clothes. If you get close and smell it, you can smell a strange smell from me.

"Then just wash them all, but try not to waste too much."

I said, "After taking a shower, move our things in from outside."

"Okay! Great!!"

Xiao Leng jumped up excitedly, hung on me and kissed me on the face like a dragonfly.

I didn't even react. I touched my face and rubbed Xiao Leng's head with a smile.

"Ladies first."

Li Xiang said, "Then let's go outside and look at the rooms first to see which ones can be lived in."

After that, the two Li brothers and Old Man Sun all wanted to go out.

Old man Sun walked past me with a smile, and there was a long-lost sense of comfort on his face.

"I'll go check out the room too."

I spoke, and just as I was about to lift my feet, I was grabbed by Xiao Leng.

"Um?"

I looked back and wondered.

Xiao Leng stared at me pitifully, glancing toward the dark corners of the water room from time to time.

"Brother... you... you stay with me, I'm afraid...?"
