the world is at stake

There was no mention of anyone being arrested.

Aunt Ilya sighed: "Don't worry. Mikhail won't say anything, and the white gangsters can't find any clues. In addition, our cause does not need white gangsters to publicize, and naturally someone will spread it for us."

"You guys are really making fun of your own lives." Zhou Qingfeng had nowhere to vent his anger, he just sneered, stuffed his stomach full of food in the kitchen, and went to his room with a sullen face.

Nursing homes have been in disrepair for a long time, and the buildings are aging.The city government has no money to allocate funds. In recent years, many elderly people have died, so there are a few vacant rooms.Zhou Qingfeng's bedroom belongs to a large suite, not only he lives in it, but Fuhrman also lives in it.

The old man checked in late last night and got up early this morning.Seeing Zhou Qingfeng come in carrying a large iron box, he cheered, "Hey, Victor, your action last night was great. I have the thrill of being at the most dangerous frontier of the Cold War."

"Is that the smell of the dying empire of the Doomsday Empire?" Zhou Qingfeng laughed at himself: "Actually, we didn't accomplish anything. The Russian media didn't report anything. An idiot was arrested on his own initiative. This place can't stay here for long. "

Fuhrman just chuckled. He was fiddling with an old radio, "Russian media does not report, but it does not mean that other media do not report. Do you think Western intelligence agencies are interested in the successive deaths of the mayor and deputy mayor of St. Petersburg? "

The radio was tuned to the Russian channel of 'Voice of America', and the voice of the Yankee news anchor rang out from the loudspeaker.The breaking news in Russia at the moment is naturally that St. Petersburg has been "rebelled by members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union".

"According to informed sources, two 'Mi-24' armed helicopters participated in the attack, killing and injuring more than 60 people including the deputy mayor."

"It was a rich man's club in St. Petersburg that was attacked. It is said that because many Russian dignitaries gathered, the surrounding area of ​​the club was on high alert last night, and even the Russian Federation Guard was present."

"But the attack happened and was extremely violent. Two 'Mi-24' fired more than 200 rockets at the club, completely destroying the building."

"The most shocking thing is that very mysterious 'super soldiers' appeared at the scene of the incident, including several soldiers equipped with individual armor participating in the attack."

"These 'super soldiers' are most likely top-secret technology developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War and have never been exposed before.

Some survivors claimed to have seen these terrifying killers equipped with heavy firepower, striding freely over buildings more than ten meters high, as if they were walking on the ground. "

There are many reports, some of which are indeed based on what we saw on the spot, but many of them are based on the exaggerated imagination of the media.In short, words such as 'Cold War', 'Top Secret' and 'Super Soldier' ​​are very attractive to the audience.

"Who do you think these reports are for?" Fuhrman laughed.

Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while, "Propaganda against Russia? But what does this have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter, but it will mess up the situation. It's useless for Putin to deny it. The more you suppress it, the faster the gossip will spread. People like to believe it." The old man shrugged and looked at the iron box Zhou Qingfeng was carrying. "What's this?"

"It's my reward for killing Savelli." Zhou Qingfeng lightly kicked the iron box with his foot.The box seemed to come alive and unfolded automatically, extending from his lower limbs to his waist and abdomen until it covered his chest, back, upper limbs and head.

Fuhrman's eyes lit up, as if he saw an awesome toy, and he yelled, "Isn't this a steel suit...exciting! Is it the 'super soldier' ​​mentioned on the radio? I thought it was a Yankee Made it up."

"Come on, you're a Yankee yourself."

"I'm a Yankee out of bad taste."

The old man happily circled around Zhou Qingfeng, stretched out his hand to carefully touch the surface of the armor, and smiled brightly.He found a shallow scratch on the chest of this mechanical armor, and asked, "How did you do this?"

"A guy in bigger armor left it for me. He almost pierced me, and I still don't know who he is?" Zhou Qingfeng touched the scratches on the surface of the hard alloy with lingering fear.

Fuhrman was also surprised, "Almost killed you? Then he is really powerful."

The same lingering fear also includes Marco himself.

The 'Brotherhood' arrived in St. Petersburg, learning from the past, and kept a relatively low profile.Most of their members gather in consulates and commercial establishments, or charter a container ship and use it as a base at the pier on the Neva River.

Zhou Qingfeng was able to obtain the 'Land Warrior', and Mar Keshi also completed a series of tasks to obtain his large mechanical armor.But he was hit hard the first time he put on this thing.

On the secret wharf cargo ship of the "Brotherhood", the huge space inside the ship was opened up as a maintenance base.The nearly three-meter-high mechanical armor was suspended on a beam frame, and several technicians were dismantling its neck structure for repairs.

One piece of flexible armor was replaced in the disassembled parts.The fist marks and holes on the top remind Marco how close he is to death.

After the inspection, the technician recruited by the 'Brotherhood' gave good news, "The core parts of the neck are not damaged, but a few parts are stuck, making it unable to rotate, just replace it."

"Fix it." Ma Keshi gave the order coldly, turned around and ignored technical matters.

The attendant Thomas handed over a photo and said in a low voice, "Someone took a picture of this thing last night, and we bought it for ten thousand dollars."

The photo was taken by a photographer in the city with a telephoto lens hundreds of meters away, and accurately captured the picture of the 'Land Warrior' standing on the roof of the building and manipulating the revolving machine gun.

Seeing the photo, Marco gritted his teeth and glared.

Thomas whispered: "Similar news is spreading all over the world now, and everyone regards this as top-secret equipment of the Soviet Union, and many Soviet sympathizers are greatly encouraged by this.

In addition, Emperor Pu is a bit out of control of the situation, should we do something?For example, cut off the power supply in the whole city. "

Chapter 21 Nuclear Fortifications

Heavy snow, severe cold.

Traffic in St. Petersburg has become extremely inconvenient.

The military police came to the door and searched the suburban nursing home where Zhou Qingfeng and others were hiding.Since Polina once worked here, the person in charge of the nursing home was "seriously suspected" and was arrested to assist in the investigation.

It was very risky for Zhou Qingfeng and others to hide in the nursing home. They originally planned to change places after only staying for twelve hours.

But a World War II veteran in the nursing home learned about this on the news, and asked the doctors and nurses in the nursing home whether Polina and others were hiding in the hospital, and did they need help?

"When the First World War broke out, St. Petersburg was still the capital of Russia, and fortifications began to be built underground in the city. By the time of World War II, the German army had besieged 'Leningrad' for nearly three years, and a large number of underground bunkers were needed to protect citizens and fight.

My name is Dimitrov. I used to be the chief designer of the 'Leningrad' Military Engineering Design Bureau. During the war, I started the construction of underground projects.

With the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War, the underground fortifications have not been abandoned, but instead have been deepened, widened and made more complex and strong to ensure that they can defend against nuclear bombs.

The nursing home used to be part of the city's defense system, with air-raid bunkers and traffic lanes dug underground.You can hide underground. "

The World War II veteran was born earlier than Fuhrman. He is lying on a crude hospital bed with a haggard face, and he needs to breathe oxygen to speak intermittently.

Such an old man's purpose is very simple, he called Zhou Qingfeng and others to the bedside, grabbed a few blueprints and handed them to Polina.

"My memory is not very good, and I have forgotten the details of many underground projects. But I hope that these lines I have drawn can provide you with a way to escape."

While speaking, the old man was panting violently, in great pain.The nurse in the nursing home glanced at the oxygen cylinder in front of the bed and wept silently.

"No oxygen, is it?" asked the old man.

No one in the ward spoke.But everyone can see that the pointer of the oxygen cylinder is almost at the bottom.Since half a year ago, the oxygen cylinders sent by the city have been running short.

As one of the most important heavy industrial cities in Russia, it is very simple to produce oxygen, and hypoxia should not occur.Behind this situation, it only means that a certain company responsible for supplying oxygen to nursing homes has either shut down or been privatized.

The old man turned his head and looked at another empty hospital bed next to him, "Actually, Comrade Vasilev is more suitable to draw these circuit diagrams. He is the chief engineer of the bureau and is more familiar with the city's underground network than I am. But I woke up a few days ago , found him not breathing."

Polina took the blueprint given by the old man and burst into tears.

The old man's tone was always weak, but he said seriously: "Comrade Polina, don't cry. When the German devils besieged the city, tens of thousands of people died of hunger and severe cold, we didn't cry.

There are twists and turns in the revolutionary cause, and it is even more necessary for young people to persevere.Now it is nothing more than the restoration of the White Bandits, can it be more terrifying than the Germans?Be strong and keep fighting. "

The old man looked at Aunt Ilya again, "Comrade Ilya, I remember you. 'Red Star' has published your deeds. As a representative of female pilots, you flew 'Mi-24' over Red Square.

You are an amazing girl and I am so proud of you.Now, I believe your faith is still strong.I couldn't be happier that you were on this little team. "

With just one sentence, Aunt Ilya, who was in her forties, burst into tears, all the grievances in her heart broke out, and she couldn't cry.The other members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union who were with her also had moist eyes.

Fuhrman was in the corner of the room, whispering: "I am really moved by a group of people who insist on their ideals. I suddenly felt that the little sensory stimulation I was looking for became very vulgar. Victor, do you think I can join the party?"

Zhou Qingfeng squinted and signaled Fuhrman not to joke.The old man on the hospital bed saw him and asked, "Are you a comrade from China?"

The people in front of the hospital bed stepped aside, Zhou Qingfeng was able to take two steps forward, "Yes."

The old man nodded, "There used to be many countries in the socialist camp, but unfortunately not many were able to persist. The Soviets have fallen, and I am afraid that China will be left to support them in the future."

"Don't worry, we can hold on." Zhou Qingfeng shook hands with the dying old man, as if completing some kind of ceremony, and the great mission was passed from one country to another.

The beep sounded...

Wait, don't ring, I don't want to take any tasks.

Zhou Qingfeng anxiously wanted to let go.But it was too late, and words sounded in his mind: "You have been recognized by the Soviet comrades, and led your Soviet Communist Party team to escape from pursuit. It will be three hours before the Russian Federation military police find your current location."

The oxygen cylinder bottomed out, and the old man on the hospital bed gradually suffocated.He struggled feebly a few times, his chest and lungs rose and fell violently, then gradually subsided, and then fell into an endless sleep.

No one can help.

After being forced into a mission, Zhou Qingfeng jumped up and said anxiously, "Let's go, we have to get out of here before the military police come to search and arrest."

Polina stood up from the hospital bed and handed him a few pages of drawings.

The nurse in front of the hospital bed saw the paper and said in surprise, "This is the first time I know that there is a fortification underground in this nursing home."

Aunt Ilya replied: "Leningrad is the second largest city in Russia. It's strange that there are no nuclear defense fortifications underground. But these fortifications must have been in disrepair for a long time, and it is very dangerous to enter rashly."

Zhou Qingfeng asked everyone in the team to prepare food, clothes, drinking water, lighting fixtures and so on.He went to find the entrance to the underground fortification—it was in a storage room in the nursing home, and the entrance was an iron door embedded in the concrete floor.

Underground fortifications are indeed dangerous, especially as the former Soviet Union built countless nuclear defense fortifications in major cities during its decades of existence.These fortifications vary in size and are often abandoned after being repaired or half repaired.

Abandoned underground fortifications are often neglected for more than ten to twenty years. There is no water, electricity or air circulation. Entering rashly is like entering a huge labyrinth tomb, and there is no way out.

In fact, there are similar buildings in the imperial capital. For example, a closed and abandoned subway station will suddenly appear on a certain subway extension line in the suburbs.

The subway station was walled off and the entrances were locked with iron locks.If you climb over the wall, break the lock, and enter the ground, you will find a magical world.

If you can come back safely after your adventure, please pray that the police uncle will not come to your door.Otherwise, at least I will be scolded and written a guarantee letter, or I will go to the detention center and eat boiled cabbage in salt water for free for a few days.

Make sure you will take a detour when you see cabbage in the future.

If you even took a video and uploaded it on the Internet, it provoked the national security agency to invite you to drink tea-it is said that the tea in such units is not good, and the cups are never washed.In the end, the video will definitely be deleted, the account will be blocked, and maybe the person will also be blocked.

And in St. Petersburg...

Zhou Qingfeng swept the floor of the storage room of the nursing home with a broom, and the entrance to the underground fortification appeared.He used brute force to open the steel plate covering the entrance, and a downward step appeared on the flat ground.

The flashlight shone into the steps, and it was impossible to see the bottom.Throw a match in it and it will go out immediately.Standing at the entrance of the steps, you will feel dizzy, and the stale breath is surging outward.

"It's like a tomb down here." Fuhrman had to open the door of the storage room to allow the outside air to flow in.

Zhou Qingfeng put on the 'Land Warrior', with the light on his shoulders providing illumination, and walked into the dark underground steps.

As soon as he entered, the 'Land Warrior' immediately called the police, indicating that the oxygen content in the surrounding air was less than half of the normal value, and molecular sieve oxygen supply had been activated.

There are more than 100 steps, more than 20 meters deep underground, and a large metal iron gate at the end.Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and knocked, his voice was dull.

According to the Russian words on the door, this is a blast door with a lead interlayer.

According to the drawings left by the old comrade Dimitrov, the first trouble Zhou Qingfeng encountered was to open this door.

"This door cannot be opened by manpower. It must be connected to the power supply and pulled open by the electric motor in the mezzanine. The electric motor uses three-phase power supply, but the underground power grid may have been disconnected. You have to find a way by yourself."

Ha... Zhou Qingfeng knew that it would not be easy to escape with a small team.Just opening a door can make ordinary people die of sorrow.There is no three-phase power supply in this nursing home, let alone lead a wire into the ground.

"Victor, how's the situation underground?" Fuhrman stood at the entrance of the stair passage holding the walkie-talkie, "Have you found that door?"

"I found it." The digital helmet of 'Land Warrior' has a built-in communication function, providing Zhou Qingfeng with a short-distance voice service. "I'm trying to find a way to open this thing."

The power pack of 'Land Warrior' is in its lower back, and its shape is slightly bulging.The exact energy source is unknown, but it provides external power capability.Before Zhou Qingfeng went underground, he had found wires to lead out the power supply.

The control panel of the underground explosion-proof door is on its side, and it is pulled open to reveal a structure similar to a safe.The interface for external power supply is reserved on the top.

The power supply of 'Land Warrior' is connected to the protective door through the interface.Zhou Qingfeng closed the switch again, and the entire tunnel suddenly lit up, and the exhaust fan at the top whirred, and air flowed in.

The oxygen content in the tunnel rises rapidly.

"You can come down now." Zhou Qingfeng said in the communication.

At the entrance, Fuhrman saw the light in the depths of the passage, and could feel the air blowing.He greeted Polina and the others who were carrying large and small bags, and walked down the steps slowly.

After they all go underground, the people in the nursing home will seal the entrance to the ground, and even the dust will be scattered back, so as not to leave any mistakes.

At the bottom of the passage, Lilia broke free from her mother's arms and ran to Zhou Qingfeng with a thump.This was the first public display of 'Land Warrior', which sparked discussion among the team.

"Victor...how did this thing come from?" The little girl circled around the black mechanical armor, reached out to touch it, and was extremely curious.

Aunt Ilya and other members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were also very surprised. They hadn't seen Zhou Qingfeng wear this thing, but they could tell the good from the bad. This kind of black technology is like doomsday equipment, and the secret level must be extremely high.

This means that Zhou Qingfeng's origin must also be extremely mysterious, and there are other forces behind him to support him.

The little girl turned around a few times and then went back behind her mother.She hugged Polina's thigh and said in a low voice: "Mom, I have to admit that your luck has always been good. You met a villain by accident, and now it seems very powerful."

Polina glanced at her sister.Wei Na shrugged, saying that she also saw Zhou Qingfeng's battle armor for the first time.

The switch is closed, the underground passage is lit, and a large number 'k13' is revealed on the protective door.

Zhou Qingfeng found this number on the blueprint at hand, and whispered: "Behind this door is a wartime military train station. The passage we are in is used for evacuation. In the event of a nuclear war, this place will become an underground protective bunker."

Lilia was even more curious, and ran out again, shouting, "How do we open this door?"

"Now just press the button on the control panel." Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to press it.Lilia shouted loudly, "Let me come, let me come."

The little girl is not tall enough, Zhou Qingfeng had to pick her up to reach the control panel next to the protective door.She slapped down on a faded button.

The relay in the control board is turned on, and the motor in the interlayer hums.The half-meter-thick, two- to three-ton metal gate slowly opened.

The product prepared for nuclear war is Pishi, which can work normally without maintenance for more than ten or twenty years.

It was dark behind the door, but the ventilation fan was on, and there was air, but it was cold.The equipment here operates in a distributed manner, and damage to one site does not affect other sites, and it can be powered independently to ensure redundancy.

'Land Warrior' dragged a wire and stepped into the huge deserted space behind the protective door.What caught Zhou Qingfeng's eyes was a platform more than ten meters wide. Behind the platform were railroad tracks extending to the left and right, leading to the dark depths.

"This is indeed a military platform." Aunt Ilya followed in, glanced at the protective light bulb on the tall wall, and pointed to the hole next to the light bulb.

"That's an air vent, and it should be connected to the above-ground building. The nursing home should be a cover, specially equipped for underground fortifications. This place must have been top-secret in the early years, and I don't know how much money was spent to build it, but now it is abandoned."
