"She's so mad that it's not like that."

V lifted the corners of his mouth, showing his teeth, and smiled smugly.

"Okay, the dog food is on my head."

Luo Qi smiled playfully, "But let's get down to business, what does Perales say?"

After the two separated last time, V went to the Perales couple's house alone to report the situation.

"I don't think they are like murderers, and they don't even know about it at all."

V concluded, "They commissioned me to investigate this case to find out what happened."

"I'm about to take up a position where my predecessor's death is unclear, and my competitors are still deeply involved in it. No matter how I think about it, I can't take it lightly."

Rocky expressed his understanding.

"For a majestic mayor, this kind of death is too shameful, so there is nothing wrong with covering it up like this."

He went on to say, "But accidents and coincidences, especially there are too many clues about the intervention of third-party forces... What do they think?"

"Be careful, you must be careful, very careful." V said.

"It seems that they don't know too much."

Luo Qi was helpless.

For some reason, watching V participate in this kind of political event, I always have a vaguely bad premonition.

Of course, this kind of premonition is not something like the mysterious "response to murderous intent".

It may come from his consistent negative impression of politicians and capital, or from too much exposure to the dark side of politics and trade.

But for now, it is more appropriate to take one step at a time.

Chapter 260 A Relic of the Old Era

Early morning hours.

Before the sun got up from the direction of the city, a convoy had already parked behind a sand dune in the wilderness far northeast of the city.

Plants are dying, rainfall is scarce, rivers are dry, land is deserted...

Countless problems appeared in this once considered fertile land, not counting the radiation zone and the highly toxic zone that strangers should not get close to.

There is such a kind of homeless, they are composed of people who are good at exploration in the family, and they specialize in excavating abandoned buildings hidden under the sand in an attempt to find valuables.

Of course, this is just one of their daily jobs, and most of the time they wear several hats.

Luo Qi didn't quite know what Adecardo was like on weekdays, but at least everyone had strong hands-on ability. As long as a few people could use rainproof cloth, brackets, ropes and ground nails, they could pull out a piece of land with sunshade. , rain, wind and other functions of the space.

The entrance to this underground base was buried underground due to a mountain collapse that may have occurred here.

The vault of the gate built a platform in the soil layer, and the sand below the platform gradually migrated with the wind and sun, finally exposing the edge of the iron gate full of traces of time.

It is too rusty to accurately describe the extent of the damage, but there is no doubt that it is a difficult task with a huge workload to clean up the mound in front of the gate. On the contrary, the subsequent demolition only needs to be handed over to the directional placement Explosives do.

The reason why they gathered here earlier today was that they found a vertical stairwell hidden in the vent about tens of meters away.

Regarding this underground base, Saul’s opinion is not to comment, but Panan thinks that this may be an opportunity to change the fate of the family——

Because according to the exploration and simple scanning, the scale of this base is much larger than imagined, fully enough to accommodate everyone in Adekado.

If you can find something interesting from it, you will be even luckier.

Saul expressed concern about Panan's exuberant curiosity, but he had no suitable reason to stop Panan until there was no solid evidence that there was danger.

However, Panan actually issued a "military order" and vowed to dig out something famous before going back.

As a result, it felt a bit difficult to get off the tiger, so I had to bite the bullet and explore the bunker.

Mitch, Scorpion, Cassidy, Ted, Carol and Bob...

These few people are loyal members of Panan's small group, or people who are willing to take risks and toss with her.

"I'm not good at this, so one of you can take the lead."

After Panan expressed his firm belief in exploration, he handed over his command and looked at everyone present expectantly.

She can be responsible for her own personal adventures, but she is not used to directing a group of people who are generally older than herself to do things.

In the end it was Mitch who took on the responsibility.

"This place is slightly different from what I imagined."

Luo Qi grabbed lightly with one hand, and tore off the crooked vent grille, and then threw it aside casually.

He looked inside a little, and saw nothing useful except for the unknowable depth of the stairwell.

The width can only accommodate an adult man below a medium build, and even a slightly stronger figure will appear to be very reluctant. Jack is almost unable to use it here.

This is an unusual route at all.

"What do you imagine?"

Mitch kicked away the fence that fell on the ground, then leveled the ground with his boots, and began to move the boxes after confirming that the ground was solid.

Scorpion gave him a handle, placed the thing horizontally in the open space, and lifted the cover.

With a "click", the military green box lid popped open, revealing a robot parked quietly inside.

Produced by Hi-Tech Military Industry, Maozi's stuff.

Maybe not as full of bells and whistles as an expensive military-tech toy, just a down-to-earth tin can, but when it comes to exploration, the performance is far more up to the task than other products on the market.

The chip controller was handed over to the eager scorpion.

Due to his previous experience in the army, Scorpion and Mitch are both able to handle similar military items with ease, which can be regarded as a rare and valuable experience.

"I'm going in." Scorpion said in a very exaggerated tone.

"There are no cameras here, and no one is interested in whether you're gay or not."

Mitch slapped him on the back of the head, which made the robot that everyone was paying attention to staggered, the picture trembled, and almost fell directly from the wall of the stairwell.

The structure of arthropods is very suitable for robots, which makes them have the ability to pass through all terrains far better than other structures.

One leg of the robot is hung on a piece of iron railing, buckled tightly, and the other part is dangling in the air, which looks extremely thrilling.

For those who have claustrophobia or are afraid of ancient and unknown dark buildings, the content on the screen is indeed very unfriendly——

The bottomless stairwell, the concrete wall that looks cold and impersonal, and the sundries that have been dusty for many years.

"Hey, I said, is he really gay?"

Luo Qi looked at the picture for a while, and finally couldn't help asking Mitch who was standing beside him and watching together.

"No, how can it be."

Mitch didn't expect Luo Qi to take it seriously, and showed a dumbfounding expression, "It's hurting him, understand?"

Under the operation of the scorpion, the robot landed safely.

In the long and narrow passage, the panoramic night vision goggles on the top of the machine began to work.

This is in a bunker without any light source, so an infrared emitting device is needed to "fill the light".

Sound is fed back as faithfully as black and white images.

The heavy footsteps of the machine echoed in the passage as quiet as deep in the center of the earth, accompanied by the "buzzing" sound of hydraulic rods and other transmission structures.

A low army green iron gate blocked the way.

This is a solid structure with the same specifications as the closed hatch, but the good news is that both the front and rear ends of the gate are open, otherwise they would either risk a landslide and blow up here, or they could only choose to go through the main entrance obediently.

"Crack..."

As soon as he entered that door, the sound of a voice instantly mobilized the muscles on Luo Qi's back.

This is a kind of thrilling feeling of sneaking in quietly, sneaking in, accidentally kicking something, and making a loud noise.

That kind of cool feeling along the spine penetrated upwards into the scalp almost instantly, and then exploded out of the Tianling Cap.

"Who the hell put a chair here?"

Scorpion was also quite frightened.

He is No.1 in the whole process of experience, it is no different from stepping on a landmine.

But it was quiet in the bunker, deathly still.

There is probably no one here, half a century or more ago.

Looking around, there is a sense of dust in the old era.

Circuit equipment with completely different wiring styles, careless pipelines, and a cylindrical structure that has no clear purpose...

They seem to be in that turbulent age.

The turn of the century was not something to celebrate back then. After the collapse of the old American economy, California became a free state in 2002, and it took another ten years to toss out the North-South rivalry.

At that time, people were worried about the bombs that would drop from overhead at any time.

The mainstream view at the time was that the "Civil War" in California would break out sooner or later.

But at present, it seems that this bunker has not been able to wait until the day it is used until it is abandoned.

This is a military bunker, because the scale is completely insufficient to accommodate the people taking refuge, and there is even no corresponding design at all.

Even though it has been closed for years enough for a son to grow up to become a father and then a grandfather, there is still not much dust here, almost all of which come from the aging of the internal materials.

"The light socket was dark and looked like it might have been burned out."

Scorpion is examining this place from the perspective of a soldier, "The electrical system may still work, but it will take me a while to activate it."

"Still working? Are you serious?"

Luo Qi froze for a moment, and then realized what the scorpion was talking about.

After so many years of old gadgets, if they don't rot into a pile of scrap iron, they will be burned to high incense, and now they are told that they may still be usable?

How can this be?

"Theoretically yes, the design life is sometimes longer than you think, and it's still good for many years after that."

Mitch gave Luo Qi a brief introduction to the knowledge about military facilities, "But it depends on many factors. If it is completely sealed here, and there are no changes such as groundwater seepage or violent stratum movement, there should be relatively large probability."

Lighting isn't what they're looking for, and night vision goggles provide a better view than visible light sources.

The main reason is that if there are some electric gates or organs here, I am afraid that the generator set needs to be restarted to open them.

Of course, their purpose this time is mainly to use robots to conduct initial reconnaissance for living people.

Judging from the current situation, the completion was perfect, even far exceeding their expectations.

It seems that there is no poisonous gas leakage, no bad corrosion and germy air, and no traces of major damage. Everything is as if forgotten by history, so quiet and reassuring.

"Honestly, this is my first experience with these things."

Luo Qi stared at the screen tightly, unwilling to miss every detail on it.

This kind of experience is so novel that it makes people forget to return. Of course, he doesn't have to "return".

With the deepening of exploration, more and more things are revealed to everyone——

There are large silver-gray and blue iron cabinets, all kinds of indescribable equipment, some are still standing in place, and some are lying around, circuit boards and transformers are all there, and the structure is far behind The old style of the times.

Silver starters, thermostats, lighting, controllers, circuit gauges, and exhaust fans...

These are complete and real military products.

"It was produced in 1991... and this one, this one was earlier, it was made in 88..."

The robot walked through the metal, controlling the camera to zoom in and out from time to time, trying to find all the clues about this place.

"I'm sure this is an underground base that was built earlier than we thought."

Scorpion also showed a smile of discovering the big baby.

This is not only a relic of a bygone era, but also a kind of monument.

Standing in front of something that can feel the span of time, you will feel indescribable and admire from the bottom of your heart.

Transistors, inverters, old computer motherboards, substations...

Lingering here for a while, the terrain becomes more and more complex.
