General, get your license

In a dark cave, the water is gurgling, and occasionally there is the sound of a few stones falling into the water.

Wearing a flashlight in his hand, Meng Huai walked in the dark volcanic rock tunnel.He and Yue Yun walked along the underground river for several hours.I kept seeing broken pumice stones floating down from upstream.

Hearing what Yue Yun said about what happened in the base, Meng Huai couldn't help feeling afraid.It seems that Yue Yun drifted down the underground river after being unconscious, and escaped the magma.But his comrades-in-arms were nowhere to be found.Meng Huai didn't know whether Captain Xiao and Xiao Dai had escaped the siege of the zombies, but he couldn't remember what happened later, and he didn't know how he came here.

In the long cave, Yue Yun suddenly reached out to block Meng Huai.Hissed for silence.A piece protruded from the front of Yue Yun's skirt, and the little monkey poked out its fluffy head, which was stuffed back by Yue Yun.

The so-called "secret file" turned out to be such a living thing, after it came out of the safe box, it never wanted to go back and lock it.It looks like a hairless monkey, with wrinkled pink skin.The top of the head is hairy.Make a buzzing sound.Meng Huai was very curious and wanted to touch its head several times.But this little thing seemed to be particularly afraid of Meng Huai, every time he stretched out his hand, he barked and screamed, and shivered and buried himself in Yue Yun's arms.

Meng Huai once said regretfully: "Why is it so close to you? It's a pity that I can't carry it around for fun."

The little thing had just popped an apple-sized head out of Yue Yun's clothes, and shrank back in fright.

Yue Yun comforted him gently through the cloth. "Probably the first thing it saw when it came out of the egg was me."

Meng Huai smiled and said, "Yin Sui? Ying Xiang, you have become its mother."

"I am the father, and you are the mother."

"How can it be, you see, it doesn't like me."

"Yes, if you feed you and change your diaper, it will kill you."

"How can I breastfeed him as a big man?"

Ten thousand words are omitted from the following nonsensical dialogue.

In the depths of the cave, there was a buzzing sound, like a rush of water hitting the open ground, or like a swarm of bees.

After listening quietly for a while, Yue Yun said in a deep voice, "It should be fine, let's go."

Meng Huai quickly followed.Along the way, Yue Yun's complexion was not very good, he was still limping when he walked, and he didn't tell Meng Huai what was going on.

Every time Yue Yun walked for a while, he put his hands into the water to try it out, and asked, "You said that the lava erupted from the ground, and the temperature was very high, why?"

"Volcanic eruptions are crustal movements. The depths of the earth are not flat, but the innermost part is hot magma. Plate movement makes underground rocks rub against each other, and magma is ejected from cracks. The closer to the center of the earth, the higher the temperature, so volcanoes The eruption will corrode the rock. It will blow through the mountains." Meng Huai explained.

Yue Yundao: "I'm thinking about a problem. Usually on the battlefield, the fire goes up with the wind, but in the swamp, the water goes down the flow. The magma is both fire and water..."

"So you're measuring the temperature of the underground river?" Meng Huai understood. "How about it?"

"The water temperature is getting lower and lower, and it should be far away from the eruption point." The worry on Yue Yun's face did not ease: "But I am always... restless."

Teammates cannot be contacted through the communicator.I don't know where the exit of Youchang Cave is, but there is compressed dry food in the backpack, enough for two people to eat for two days.Meng Huai put his shoulder on his shoulder comfortingly: "It's not a big deal, Changbai Mountain is only [-] kilometers in length and width, we can go out even if we walk through it."

"What if it's a dead end?"

Meng Huai froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about living together and dying together?"

The water is gurgling, and the light of the clear torch reflects the floating light of the underground river.The light and shadow on the faces of the two people changed.

A blade-like light flashed in Yue Yun's eyes, "Okay."

What I think in my heart is, as long as you.If it was another one, he chopped it off directly.

Just as Meng Huai took a step, he felt a sudden violent vibration under his feet, but he hadn't realized what happened yet.There was a bang in his ears, Yue Yun blocked his front, pushed back a few steps, threw him on the ground, and covered his ears with one hand.

The cave was slightly shaken by the explosion, and the waves of the underground river rushed to the roof of the cave, pouring water on them all over their heads.The reverberation was still roaring, and there was a big hole where they stood just now, and the river water poured into it, forming a small depression.

Meng Huai's mouth twitched slightly. "Who...would plant a secondary bomb here?"

He and Yue Yun looked at each other speechlessly.Yue Yun rolled his hands into a tube shape and shouted, "Luo Pei! It's me and Meng Huai."

From the depths of the cave came the weak voice of the engineer Luo Pei: "You guys... wait a minute, come here after I dismantle the 28 blasting methods."

Yue Yun: "...".

Meng Huai: "..."

Luo Pei crawled all the way over and began to disassemble from the other side of the river. He sat on a piece of loose lava and floated directly in the water.Finally, it was dismantled in front of Yue Yun and the others, squatting on the ground like a marmot.

Luo Pei wiped off the dirt on his hands, as if seeing his relatives, before he got up, he rubbed Yue Yun's trouser legs, and wiped his nose by the way.

"Great, you're all right. I thought the captain and I were the only ones escaping."

Yue Yun set him up. "You and the captain? What about him?"

"Inside, haven't woken up yet. Choked a lot of water."

Surprised, Yue Yun walked around Luo Pei and walked inside the cave.The bumps and hollows along the way looked horrible.Luo Pei didn't need to explain, "I'm the only one with defensive ability, I was so scared, so I put all the bombs on." I know that the courage of the engineer is so little.

There is a long and narrow gap shaped like a lentil beside the cave, two people can stand side by side, Yue Yun saw Lei Pingfeng's feet protruding from the gap.The unconscious captain leaned against the cave wall.Qingzhu's jaw was still cold.Yue Yun walked over and opened his eyelids to look at him, heaving a sigh of relief.Secretly input a wave of internal force to protect the opponent's heart, and the cold limbs became warm with the injection of vitality.

Meng Huai asked, "What happened?"

Luo Pei scratched his head: "I don't know. When I woke up, I was washed to the shore. Then I saw the captain soaked in the water, so I quickly fished him out. I was afraid that there was something else here. There are bombs all around. Oh yes." He couldn't help turning his head to remind Yue Yun: "Don't touch the rocks above, there are plastic bombs."

Just as Yue Yun was about to rest his hands on it, his hands trembled slightly. Yue Yun instantly fell out like a hot potato, and a small wave exploded in the river.Looking back, Lei Pingfeng's hair had been scorched into radial patterns.

Yue Yun's face was livid, and a chestnut hit Luo Pei's head.

"Can the bomb be placed there? What if the captain wakes up and encounters it?"

Luo Pei muttered: "...I was wrong." He whispered to Meng Huai: "Why is Yue Yun so angry today?"

Meng Huai shrugged, indicating that he was also puzzled.

Under the cold flashlight, Lei Pingfeng's throat moved, he coughed and opened his eyes.

"Captain?" Yue Yun was the first to notice and helped Lei Pingfeng's back.Let him lean against the cave wall.Luo Pei went up to beat his legs and rubbed his arms like a dog's legs.Meng Huai scooped up cold water for Lei Pingfeng to drink from a ceramic cup.

"Are you all okay?" Lei Pingfeng glanced around with cold eyes.Yue Yun saw the situation and prepared to help him, but Lei Pingfeng signaled not to use it, and supported the rock wall and said, "Meng Huai, aren't you waiting outside the forest? Where are Xiao Chang and Dai Qihang?"

Meng Huai said distressedly: "We were besieged by a large group of zombies on the way, and the car overturned down the hillside. My chariot ran out of energy, and Xiao Dai's eyes were hurt. Later, I didn't know. clouds together."

Yue Yun's face changed slightly, secretly worried that Meng Huai would hurt his comrades when he went berserk.In such a dangerous situation at that time, why was he the only one who escaped?

Lei Pingfeng keenly observed the change in Yue Yun's expression, "How did you find Meng Huai?"

Yue Yun's dumb eating Coptis chinensis can't tell the pain. "I also woke up by the river, and Meng Huai passed out next to me, and I don't know what happened." But I was struggling repeatedly in my heart, what if Meng Huai went crazy again?Such a large combat power, but also durable.The little general was very tangled.I want to tell the truth, but I can't say that kind of thing.

The little monkey in Yue Yun's arms protruded its furry head with a "squeak" and rolled a pair of black bean-like eyes.Both Lei Pingfeng and Luo Pei stared in surprise.

"What the hell is this?"

Yue Yun said expressionlessly: "There is an egg in Dr. Jin's data box, and the egg is broken...that's what came out."

Luo Pei was very happy as if seeing a little pet. He stretched out his hand to touch the little monkey, and took it out of Yue Yun's arms: "It's so small, what do you eat? Do you want to feed it?"

"Don't mess around." Lei Pingfeng was very nervous at first, after all, he didn't know anything about Dr. Jin's information.I was afraid that something might go wrong.But I was relieved to see that the little monkey was very energetic.He pinched the little guy's arm as if seeing a child: "I don't know what it is? The baby seems too small? Monkey? The face is not sharp."

"It's not... a hybrid transgene, right?" Luo Pei murmured.

Seeing that they were teasing the little guy, Meng Huai stretched out his claws and prepared to take advantage of it.Unexpectedly, before it touched it, the little monkey screamed in horror, and threw itself back into Yue Yun's arms, huddling into a ball inside his clothes.

Meng Huai angrily beat the lump through the cloth: "Discriminate against me? Tell you, your father is mine..."

Suddenly worried about the presence of Lei Pingfeng and Luo Pei, Meng Huai stopped the car and swallowed these words.He and Yue Yun had to keep a low profile, otherwise they were really afraid that Yang Yunying would drive them away.Of course, the kid Meng Huai didn't know that his head boss had spent much longer than him...

After the frolicking, Lei Pingfeng said again: "We are very dangerous and almost died. Now everyone take out all the things first. Distribution and arrangement. Make a plan for the next step."

Meng Huai only had his mobile phone and money.Yue Yun's backpack floated to the river with him.Luo Pei carried a toolbox with him, and Lei Pingfeng had only his weapons on him when he was fished ashore.

Several people gathered supplies: two pistols, a rifle, three packs of compressed biscuits, a compass, a small shovel, a rope, a lighter, a military dagger, a waterproof paper bag, a few bandages, a small bottle of refreshing chili powder, and a sapper bag Those strange things in it.

Luo Pei introduced to them what was in the engineer bag: a multifunctional saber, an engineer shovel, and a small bottle of hydraulic fluid.A pack of gunpowder pellets is used to make the soil bomb just now. It is buried under a big rock and covered with an iron shell. Remove the spacer in the middle, and the gunpowder powder will mix.

"There are dozens of them, but they are not too powerful. Those two or three bottles of Red Bull cans are more powerful. The iron skin is two inches thick and can blast through rocks." Luo Pei talked endlessly.

Yue Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at the iron can-shaped bomb: "...Sky Thunder?"

"Now it's called Clever Ball, but it was originally called Zhentianlei. It was invented in the Song Dynasty, but the technology was immature at that time, and it was made as big as a basketball. It was very troublesome to carry."

"No trouble." Yue Yun shook his head: "Tie to the back of the horse, one cavalry can carry two, that's enough."

"That's right, cavalry with gunpowder is a classic tactic. Who came up with it first? A genius."

Yue Yun stroked his forehead, and swallowed the sentence in his throat: "It's me".

Meng Huai said softly: "In the battle of Jizhou, the Yue family's army relied on this big broken gold soldier." He secretly patted Yue Yun's back.Ever since Yue Yun crossed over, he has been supplementing his knowledge of history.

Lei Pingfeng observed the pile of supplies. The food was enough for four people to feed for a day, and the water could last up to seven days.As long as there are no accidents, you can still go out.Lei Pingfeng asked Luo Pei to still carry the engineering bag.The remaining things were divided among the three equally, each with a weapon.

"Let's hurry up and go."

The further you go inside, the darker it becomes.However, the sound of the water flow became louder and louder, the river widened, and the water was icy cold.It is very strange that there is such a cold underground river in the volcano.

From time to time, Lei Pingfeng brought out topographic maps to confront the couple, looking for possible locations.But there is not much information on the internal structure of Changbai Mountain, and the rivers that have disappeared underground are not marked on the map.

"I hope we are really going towards the exit..." Meng Huai murmured

"What do you mean?"

"If the river fills the hole..."

Everyone understood what he meant.Luo Pei said: "Then let's go back."

Yue Yun smiled bitterly: "Did you forget that we were washed down by the magma flow before? If we can't go back, we will be cooked." But at the same time, a doubt arose in his heart, how did Meng Huai come in?He passed the magma?

Sometimes Meng Huai really hated his crow's mouth.They walked to the deepest part of the cave, and the road along the coast became narrower and narrower, until there was no road at all.The sparkling river roared into the darkness.

Before everyone stopped to discuss countermeasures.Yue Yun, who was walking in the front, pointed to a silver hook in the crack of the cave roof and said, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone shot with flashlights, and they were all stunned.

It was a hook with a length of rope, the same style as the one distributed to each person.The hook hangs in the sky, but the rope is gone.

Lei Pingfeng said slowly: "It was hung on purpose. The water is not that high."

Everyone's rope is around.Luo Pei was stunned and said, "Was rushed down... Is it Jia Fansheng? He left behind?"

Everyone nodded tacitly.The question is, why did Jia Fansheng hang the rope hook in that place?

"To figure out this problem, you might as well put yourself in the situation and think about the situation where you need to hang the rope to the top of the cave. The rope is nothing more than these few functions, winding, fixing, and borrowing."

Yue Yun tried to throw the same rope out, and hooked it to the gap of the rock above, estimating the distance.The roof of the hanging point is vertically down to the middle of the river.

Yue Yun stared at the other side of the river. There was no land on the opposite side, and the river washed directly on the cave wall.

"I think he wants to go to the other side of the river." Yue Yun said.

The river is almost four meters wide and cannot be skipped directly.It is possible to swing with a rope.

"Then why didn't he swim there?" Luo Pei asked.

"First of all, the land is gone, and the river is more urgent here. But..." A thought faintly rose in Yue Yun's mind, and he took out a military dagger from his backpack.Shen Sheng said: "I have an idea, I have to try it to know."

Everyone saw him climbing the rope with one hand and holding the dagger in the other. He retreated to the cave wall, bent and jumped up, took two run-up steps, and then jumped across the four-meter-wide river with the help of the rope, but there was no place to stay on the other side.The moment Yue Yun touched the cave wall, he plunged his dagger into the mountain wall and fixed his figure.He observed carefully, and also saw traces of gouging in the position close to the dagger.This shows that the movements he made were the same as those of Jia Fansheng at that time.

Yue Yun fixed on that point, thinking about the next step, he looked around, and when he raised his head, he gasped.

"I see... I know why he..."

The crowd looked solemn.

Yue Yun turned his head sternly, and pointed to the sky: "There is a pipe above."

"Pipe? What pipe?"

"The blue one is buried in the rock, and it's still a little hot." Yue Yun stretched out his hand to touch it.

"But this is inside Changbai Mountain. How could there be a pipe? Who built it?" Luo Pei asked blankly.

"Fool, have you forgotten where we came from just now? There is a base inside Changbai Mountain. I know where it is." Lei Pingfeng signaled: "Yue Yun, come back."

Yue Yun stared hard from one end of the cave wall, and swung back with the help of the rope.During the whole process, the little monkey huddled in his arms didn't even shake its head.

Lei Pingfeng said: "Remember what I said, there are eight entrances to the Changbai Mountain base? One of them is built inside the mountain."

Meng Huai was stunned: "Inside? Who would a normal person get in? It's strange."

"I just heard about it. I didn't expect... The center of the Changbai Mountain base is at the bottom of the Tianchi Lake. It is said that it uses a very mysterious driving fuel to supply energy, which is unique to the bottom of the Tianchi Lake. When it was built, in order to facilitate the construction of the pipeline, At the bottom of Tianchi, an entrance was opened."

"Could it be that this underground river leads to the bottom of Tianchi Lake?" Yue Yun guessed: "So there will be pipes here. Jia Fansheng left the hook to leave us a message?"

Meng Huai clicked his tongue secretly: "Impossible, I measured it just now, and this is equivalent to the altitude of the forest outside. It flows downwards, and the altitude at the bottom will be lower. If it leads to the bottom of Tianchi Lake. Changbai Mountain is pulled out from the lava plateau. However, Tianchi is at the top, isn't it... more than 1000 meters deep!"

"Although the official said that Tianchi Lake is only more than 300 meters deep, if it is connected to those trenches and rifts, it might be that deep." Lei Pingfeng said lightly. "Jia Fansheng is undoubtedly ahead of us. We have to find a way to find him." Lei Pingfeng looked at the hook and said slowly: "That is indeed Jia Fansheng's signal, and he must know the entrance."

"Really?"

"As the son of the first general of the Ministry of National Defense, it is not surprising that there are more sources of news." Lei Pingfeng said lightly.

Before, everyone only vaguely knew that Jia Fansheng's family was a high-ranking official in the military department, but only now did they realize that it was such a high-ranking official.

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to follow the current.They knocked a large piece of loose pumice from the rock wall to float on the water.It's full of air holes.The four squeezed together carefully.Hand over fate to the rolling water in the dark.
