Abyss Express

Foreword:

[When your expectations fail one by one, you also have to be firm and calm]

[—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]

[Part① Helpless]

In the arsenal, everyone gathered in a circle, lit a bonfire in the iron bucket to keep warm, and wanted to talk about the results of the artillery test.

Except for Ah Xing, everyone looked disheartened.

Brother Ibrahimovic lowered his head, took out the cigarette case, and handed one to each of the brothers.

Ah Xing's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette.

"Me me me! Thank you thank you!"

3301 put on a dirty face and approached Ah Xing, Huang Chengcheng's animal pupils were full of anger.

Ah Xing said aggrievedly: "I just turned nineteen, let me try."

VIP Xia Xia moved closer to 3301, also pretending to be that squinting and fierce look.

The big wolf girl and the half wolf girl don't like the smell of smoke, and the disaster beast hates the poisonous nicotine. Only humans and apes can smoke tobacco, and other creatures will actively avoid it.

3301 opened Brother Ibrahimovic's hand, and said to Ah Xing, "No smoking."

Leaving aside these insignificant details, Brother Ibrahimovic looked cautious and flustered, and there was still some mud in his beard, which he didn't have time to clean up.

Jason took out his razor and trimmed his brother's beard.

Ibrahimovic smoked a cigarette and spoke slowly.

"Brothers, we may have reached the end, and we can't get to that place."

When the leaders say such things, other Slavic men are not easy to say anything.

Only Jason was holding a grudge, but he didn't refute and scold him immediately, waiting for Brother Ibrahimovic to finish speaking.

Ibrahimovic pulled out the hot firewood from the iron barrel, asked his partners to come up to light cigarettes, and explained the reason.

"Peonies can't kill them—not even a second shot."

Immediately, an unconvinced young man said.

"Brother Ibrahimovic! We can act in groups! An artillery squad needs at least six people"

Ibrahimovic interrupted: "But...do you know how to fire? We have tried so many times, but you don't even have the chance to touch the gun mounts. You can only do some work to carry the shells."

The young man was silent for a while, still trying to be brave.

"I can be a bait! If the Iceman wants to kill me! He will definitely ignore you!"

"That's a good idea." Ibrahimovic shook his head, and finally lit a cigarette for Jason: "But as long as I show up, the Iceman's first target is definitely me, it can hear my voice, we don't have a radio, we are separated It is impossible to use sign language to conduct combat command at tens of meters."

There is one more thing Ibrahimovic did not explain.

With the caliber of the peony flower, even if it hits the Laughing Man's or Iceman's dead door rune, it is still difficult to achieve a one-hit kill.

The size of the runes in their skulls is too large. If the material of the runes is calculated as concrete of the same quality, it is difficult for the 203rd Artillery to completely crush it.

The diameter of the rune alone is more than 20 meters. It is a fossil as high as a few floors, and some flesh and blood are used as elastic cushions.

For these giants, the shells of peony flowers are like sesame seeds. Even if they can hit, it is difficult to ensure that the lethality of the kinetic energy of the shells can be completely retained in the runes.

In the first shot at the Laughing Man, the shell stayed in the skin of the giant's shoulder and neck, shaking half of its upper arm, but the damage caused was negligible.

It only used its nails to gouged out part of the plaster and flesh, and removed the shells, and within a short breath, the wounds on its body healed.

Ibrahimovic has been looking forward to, looking forward to Jason Megan's return here, and for three years, every other month, he will try to fight the giants, and occasionally lose a partner or two, but this ritual never stopped.

It doesn't matter if you fail once or twice, it doesn't matter if you fail dozens of times.

Because Ibrahimovic has always believed in Ao Ruan Mingde.

He believed in the BOSS's obsession, and believed that this evil beast would never give up the outpost, or this seemingly meaningless mission.

But when Jason Megan came back, he only brought so many people with him. There were fewer emergency summons missions than three years ago. At least the two reinforcement battalions that came to Guangling Zhixi at the beginning were dignified and giants who shot out all the shells and ate all the food, but finally returned home.

Brother Ibrahimovic unilaterally speculates——

——Has Aohen Mingde already given up here?

After all, here is a dead land, nothing.

There is no gold or silver, nor precious rare earth resources.

The exploitation of oil and minerals is extremely difficult, and the spiritual disaster environment is not suitable for human survival.

What is there in the sea?

For the Niflheim in the Soviet population, BOSS has done a lot of things, paid a lot of money, and sent many, many people—this time calling Jason over is to make a perfunctory explanation for the previous agreement. ?

Ibrahimovic didn't understand these two strange VIPs at all, and thought in his heart, if they really had any supernatural power, they should have shown it long ago, so they wouldn't follow ordinary people like us and escape in embarrassment under the strangulation of the Iceman's subordinates.

Maybe they are scholars?

Maybe they are just medical staff?

Their soul power is not capable of dealing with giants.

I just brought the young generation at the station to this place to experience the giant's spiritual pressure and accumulate experience.

At this moment, Xia Xia and Brother Ibrahimovic said.

"cheer up!"

Brother Ibrahimovic seems to be grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Guest from the station, can you do anything?"

He took out some grain from his dirty overcoat. It was sorghum cake produced in the greenhouse, and there was not much in stock.

Xia Xia didn't accept the gift, but took out candy from her pocket, and wanted to give the Soviet man the sweet and high-quality glucose, and then innocently said bad words.

"No!"

Originally, Brother Ibrahimovic's energy was lifted halfway up, but now he is completely belching.

Xia Xia grabbed Brother Ibrahimovic's hand, opened the rough man's palm, and stuffed candy into it.

"I have no way to deal with those things! They are too big and have too many targets! To move the earth, you must have a very delicate and strong lever! My soul power is too simple to do that thing!"

Big Wolf Girl finished talking about her soul power, and then talked about A Ling's soul power.

"My servant's soul power can't do it. The energy in these giants' bodies is so great that we can't knock down mythical units. Even if we let them stand still and scrape for us, we will scrape for a year and a half It is estimated that it is not as fast as others' breathing and blood return."

Brother Ibrahimovic was downcast, his morale dropped to freezing point.

"Then what do you mean, honorable guest, to cheer me up?"

"I can't do it, but King Salary can do it!" Xia Xia said innocently, "When we were on our way, we met King Salary's soul power attack on the way. That kind of ability is very special and can take away our soul. The five senses can pull our spirits out of our bodies—I think King Xin can also push the spirits of these giants out of our bodies, so I have the courage to come here to hunt."

Ibrahimovic's face became very ugly. He has never wanted to have too much cooperation with the people of the Crazy Butterfly Sect. These people do anything to achieve their goals and like to eat people.

Lending them the city's public facilities is already the biggest concession made by Brother Ibrahimovic. If he wants to negotiate more deals with the Salary King, he may not even be able to keep his original quality.

The twenty or so young people present, almost the last generation of the Soviet Union, were all men.

When the Stairway to Heaven team came to RSH, Ibrahimovic discussed with the engineer grandfather, and sent the girls back to the Albert Research Station, so as not to be targeted by these lawless ogres.

"And I still don't understand." Xia Xia raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette on Brother Ibrahimovic's mouth: "Don't you have a nuclear bomb? A smaller equivalent, more than 800,000 tons of TNT will do."

When the VIP asked this sentence, Ibrahimovic was shocked.

Whether it's the cute smile of the VIP when he snuffs out the cigarette butt with his fleshy fingers without changing his face.

There is also the easy freehand brushwork of saying "nuclear force" as if nothing had happened.

"No way?" Xia Xia approached Ibrahimovic and asked in a low voice, afraid that others would hear: "Although the station ordered to ban all [nuclear]-related things, refined uranium or yellow cakes cannot be brought in, the Philosophers Foundation The Abyss Railway is also not allowed to have any nuclear force, but you should have hidden a little bit, right? As far as I know from the secret library - in the past few decades, there were hunters who used individual nuclear bombs to fight monsters, although these hunters eventually went to jail Yes. The Soviet Union is a nuclear power, you will not be so honest, you will really hand over all the guns after the disintegration?"

Ibrahimovic was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt very embarrassed.

Because they really don't have nuclear weapons, not even individual nuclear warheads fired by rocket launchers.

As Xia Xia said, a nuclear bomb with the equivalent of 800,000 tons of TNT can create a circular pit with a diameter of more than 600 meters, and nothing will be left. As long as this weapon can be sent to the face of a giant, it will explode Radius and shock damage are minimal for RSH. Only weak tsunamis and radiation will remain.

But for this kind of thing, Ibrahimovic searched all the information, took out all the brains, and thought about the bill of materials in every weapon depot - if there is nothing, there is nothing, not even the industrial power and raw materials needed by the refinery, they don't know Maybe the uranium 235 was rubbed by hand on the spot, and I didn't understand the launching mechanism of the nuclear bomb and the method of preparing and storing the warhead.

Ibrahimovic was born in 1988, he was only three years old when the Soviet Union collapsed.

The grandfather of the engineer is a mechanical and electrical major. He has built railways for 16 years, but he doesn't understand thermonuclear knowledge at all.

[Part②·One head and two big ones]

Seeing Brother Ibrahimovic's embarrassing and shy expression——

——Xia Xia understood that the boss really didn't prepare any off-site assistance for them on this trip.

During the harvest season, most of the passenger trains had to return to the Nine Realms, and it was probably useless to rely on connections to bring in some super firepower. Few people were willing to do this kind of punishment.

"It's difficult!" Xia Xia thought for a long time, and finally spit out this sentence, "I'm stupid! Let's talk about it when Ah Ling comes back!"

She patted Brother Ibrahimovic's shoulder hard.

"When your expectations fail one by one, you have to be firm and calm! You can do it! You can! Treasure!"

Ibrahimovic stared blankly at this VIP, always feeling that everyone's thinking channels were not on the same line.

Jason and Ibrahimovic said: "Let's think differently, Ibrahimovic."

Ibrahimovic: "What idea?"

Jason: "The last time I came to this place, I wore my lapis lazuli the whole time."

Speaking of this, Jason raised his arm, and he was not wearing pyroxene at this time.

"The terrifying spiritual pressure in the environment almost made me unable to think, and also made me miss a lot of things, many things worthy of my attention."

Jason took out the journal, tore off four sheets of paper, and drew a topographic map of the entire RSH outpost in just a few seconds.

"From the entrance on the southeast side to the coastline, the main road of RSH is almost more than 20 kilometers long, but there is no trace of natural settlement, and the road is formed in one piece. It is not like a railway stone ballast. Logically speaking, RSH should It is necessary to sink at least 16 meters in the muddy beach at the head of the beach to touch the bedrock. Its buildings and roads have no gaps caused by the subsidence height difference, which makes me very surprised.”

Meteor raised his hand.

"I have something to do."

Jason turned around.

"What's the matter? Are you the same as me? Thinking of these strange things?"

Meteor confessed: "Mr. Jason, you started to say things that I don't understand. I need to go pee urgently."

Jason rolled his eyes angrily, wondering how Jiang Xueming would find such an idiot as his brother.

"Go."

Brother Ibrahimovic and others gathered around, staring at the broken pages of the map.

"You mean the place we live in doesn't make sense?"

Jason changed the term to a more vivid and direct metaphor.

"Steel will naturally wriggle in a cold environment. From Pavlov to Hongxing Mountain, the railway ballast we have traveled is a basic road filled with thousands of tons of sand and gravel. But in a place like Hongxing Mountain, how can it Make sure the foundation is level? Look at this street—"

Jason pointed to RSH's History Museum and Propaganda Office, which were built almost seventy years ago.

"—it has both new buildings and old buildings, built more than forty years apart, but their foundations are all of the same era. In this environment, it is almost impossible. "

Brother Ibrahimovic and the brothers couldn't figure out what Jason was trying to say.

These buildings existed before they were born. After that, no old man told them about these histories.

Jason Megan took back all the broken pages of the map.

"Brother Ibrahimovic, I am a green gold guard, and I am very sensitive to this information. Whenever there are things that do not conform to common sense, I will try my best to understand why they exist reasonably."

He leaned down and kneaded Brother Ibrahimovic's temples, asking Brother Ibrahimovic to remember well.

"The foundation of this city must not be built by burying sand and filling soil like railways. Otherwise, the factory workshop you see cannot be so regular, and it can be divided into five nuclear power plants according to the wish of the city designer——our The soles of the feet are covered with mud, and there may be giant bones inside, this soft and hard soil structure, if it takes a long time. With the irregular settlement of the foundation, these heavy industrial plants will overturn."

There is only one reason why RSH's plant has been standing for so many years.

Jason Megan rubbed Brother Ibrahimovic's cloudy face away.

"It's built on top of an underground city."

"When the blueprint of this outpost was first drawn, the steel frame structure of the underground city was already completed."

"It is necessary to hollow out the mud under our feet and make a foundation of at least 60 meters high, so as to ensure that the industrial buildings exposed to the air can operate stably for so many years."

Jason begged Brother Ibrahimovic to think about it.

"Did any elder tell you when you were young that there are places you should never go to, desecrate, or enter easily? These places are likely to be the entrances to underground cities."

Ibrahimovic is still in shock. He just knows that the motherland has built an outpost in such a ghost place, which is already a remarkable industrial miracle.

If Jason's judgment is correct, maybe nuclear weapons can really be found underground.

According to historical records, under the strong request of Ao Han Ming De, except for the semi-finished products of the [Materialism] weapon platform, they were not taken away by the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Philosophers Foundation - these white-eyed wolves almost emptied the RSH, But they haven't been underground.

Without hesitation, Ibrahimovic immediately said: "The Monument to the People's Heroes! There is a shrine under the sculpture of the monument tower!"

Jason didn't say much: "Let's go."

3301 stood up and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Have you seen my employer?"

Go out from the armory and walk more than 200 meters to the intersection to find a bathhouse. Forty years ago, it was full of people and bustling, and it was more prosperous than all the shops in the Albert Research Station.

At that time, tens of thousands of people in the entire village would come here to take a bath and eat.

Here you can see the consul of RSH sharing a room naked with people, exchanging labor points for pyroxene in the small commodity market facing the street, and cooking disaster beast dishes together at the food stall.

But now it has become a public toilet.

Into a gigantic, methane-smelling cesspool that provided heat for the last fifty or so of the RSH.

Ah Xing pushed the door and went in, walked to the urinal pit, untied the plastron and pulled the pants chain, sighing beside the spacious bathing area, the Soviet toilet is so ostentatious, it is so big and beautiful.

At this moment, he finally noticed the toilet friend beside him.

It was a strong man with a height of more than three meters.

Ah Xing raised his head and looked at the big man's head.

"Wow! Brother! How did you practice! Can you grow so big?"

He lowered his head again and looked at the other head of the tall man.

"Wow. Oh. So talented."

William turned his head, embarrassed, and felt very embarrassed when he heard the sound of the two men releasing water.

"Born, born."

After a while, maybe the giant's bladder had an astonishing amount of water, and the meteor was cleaned up, but William was still frozen in place, not moving.

Meteor said: "You are not a member of our team, I am afraid you are an enemy? Are you a member of the Stairway to Heaven?"

William's pupils shrank slightly and became tense.

Meteor went on to say: "I didn't see your companion outside. You, like me, are a stray wolf, a person who is not accepted by your companions. There is a lonely brilliance in your body."

From the hollow decoration of the Orthodox mural relief in the big bathhouse, the cool and elegant square light source is cast.

William was inexplicably moved.

Meteor and William said seriously.

"I can wait for you. Fighting in this environment is like a cold war turning into a hot war. Once the nuclear bomb is fired, there will be no winners--I am not willing to fight with you without a zip-zipper, if If any of us fell into the cesspit, or were splashed by the dung from the bullets and bombs, even if we survived, we would lose our qualifications as human beings."

William was deeply touched.

"Brother, you are such a gentle person, I don't know what to say."
