The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 13: War, war (part 2)

Outside the room is a black hole tunnel. It seems that this fierce shelling has affected the power supply of the underground bunker. The red emergency light on the wall keeps flashing to indicate the road. The visibility is very poor and the faces of people around can not be seen clearly. , The only thing that worked normally was the broadcasting system. The Central African Republic’s national anthem "The Second Revival of Bantu" was played in the horn, indicating that Matrell’s mobilization speech was about to begin. Gu Tie was dragged by Xiao Liping and ran forward. Stumbled through the crowd. Old Xiao seemed to be very familiar with the terrain. After turning a turn, he entered a fork road. Xiao Liping whispered in dialect: "There is an invalid power distribution well in the room at the end of the passage. Open the door and hide in. Wait until the right time to move on. The power distribution shaft is locked. You will be able to open it."

"I thought of me when I slid the door and picked the lock, did you?" Gu Tie mumbled, and met several Central African soldiers on the road. Everyone was excitedly brandishing a Type 05 assault rifle and shouting, as if it was about to begin. It was not a war, but a grand carnival party. The door of the room was not locked. The two flashed into the room when the emergency light was dark. Xiao Liping lit the lighter, pointed to the corner of the room and said, "That's it, pry it open. ."

Gu Tie looked around, removed two small pieces of iron wire from a bed of rusty steel wires, and while tinkering with the lock of the distribution box with peeling paint, he couldn't help asking: "What the **** is going on, Old Xiao ."

Secretary Xiao raised a finger: "Wait patiently for an hour. After an hour, I will tell you everything."

"Click." There was a soft sound from the keyhole, Gu Tie pulled hard, and the iron door creaked and opened outwards, "Better an explanation that can convince me, Old Xiao."

The two went into the power distribution shaft. The strong and weak current lines here have rotted into a mess. The air switch is covered with spider webs. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. The space inside is larger than expected. Two people can stand side by side. Sitting down with shoulders, locked the door, silently waiting for the moment Xiao Liping said to come,

The cannons are rumbling, and the impassioned speeches from the loudspeakers outside appear to be intermittent. Gu Tie said, "It won’t work, Old Xiao, Aqiwei must have started looking for me. Once the woman gets serious, even if I turn over. Somersault can't escape her palm."

Xiao Liping said: "That's not necessarily the case. The phantom bomb I dropped will erase all traces of sound and light. In a short time, she can't find us in this maze-like underground palace."

Gu Tie teased: "If others find us squeezed here, they will say that the two of us are in trouble."

"A living **** is better than a dead straight man, isn't it." Xiao Liping said,

"What this said..." Gu Tie shook his head, "You at least tell me what we are hiding, you don't need to tell it all, just give some hints."

Old Xiao hesitated, and said: "You may not know where this is. This huge underground bunker is called'Pan God's Wine Cellar', which was secretly built by Matril after he was elected President of the African Republic. One of the five large-scale underground facilities, the other four are located in Bangui, Ndele, Bengasu and Birao, each of which is more than 12,000 square meters, 70 meters deep underground, and 40 meters thick. The concrete, steel, and carbon fiber honeycomb composite protective layer cannot penetrate even the most advanced submerged bombs. The ventilation, water supply, power supply, communication and armed facilities are all equipped in accordance with nuclear war standards. The entire facility has three layers. We are in the living area closest to the ground. What is certain is that these underground bunkers have never appeared in the public eye."

"Damn." Gu Tie said sullenly, "It's an underground building again. Isn't it enough to drill tunnels in Japan? I've been working in the trenches in my life.... To be honest, Old Xiao, these The bunker was built for what, don’t tell me it’s this kind of local war of the children's fighting level. Along the way, I saw the thickness of the protective door and the anti-biochemical, radiation partition and spraying devices on the ceiling, although it looked inconspicuous. , But no matter what is spent, it has reached the highest level of protection. A rough estimate is that such a bunker will cost at least one-tenth of the fiscal revenue of the poor country of Central Africa, if it weren’t for Matriel. Crazy, we all tmd crazy."

Xiao Liping smiled bitterly: "I know I can’t hide it from you. We never thought of exposing these facilities before this morning, but Mattrill opened the first floor entrance and exit of the bunker without my permission, and let Batan The people in Jiafu Camp came to take refuge, and it was too late when I arrived."

Gu Tie keenly caught some clues: "'we', who do you mean by'we'."

Minister Xiao pushed his glasses, "Me, Matt Ril, everyone else."

"Other people." Gu Tie felt that his palms were hot, but his back gradually became cold. He had already thought of a terrible possibility,

Xiao Liping slowly spit out a few names: "Others, everyone, Sakhir, Champel, Lemuel, Carkiel, Mattril, I, Islam, "We '."

"Except me, right." Gu Tieru muttered after falling into the ice cave,

"Yes, except you, Adam." Old Xiao said quietly, "I know this is hard for you to accept, but it is so,...I'm sorry."

Gu Tie was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the dark wall in front of him, "...Actually, I'm just a nasty outsider, am I." He whispered painfully, "All the time, so many meetings, we sit Discussing the future of this world under the countdown, I made a long speech, and you all agreed,...that's just acting, right, the'Betrayer' is not my organization, but your organization, you, Xiao Liping, dear Israphael...think about it carefully. When establishing this organization, all things were handled by you. From the selection of members to the naming, the organization method and the ultimate goal, you gave it life and pushed me to God. Tan plays an ignorant psychic. For so long, for so long, you have been admiring my grand ambitions like watching a joke, pretending to show respect for me and cooperating with my instructions, and every time I leave, The real meeting just started, isn’t it? Only when I, an outsider, is not present..."

"Don't be like this." Xiao Liping suddenly grabbed his hand. "It's not as you think. It's true that the "Betrayer" is very different from the organization in your mind, but we are still friends, Matri Er, Sakir, Lemuel, everyone’s feelings for you are true, don’t forget that you are Adam, the first man in the Bible, the origin of human civilization, and you are still among the “betrayers” The most important role, even if you do not appear as a leader, you are the soul of a betrayer."

Gu Tie withdrew his hand abruptly, moved his body away from Xiao Liping, and stared at the opponent's faintly reflecting eyes in the dark: "Hehe, Old Xiao, Old Xiao..." The Chinese laughed nervously and smiled. , While clenching his teeth: "You always use conspiracy theories to explain the world. I said that you are a suspicious neuropathy and should be locked up in Beijing Anding Hospital; but now I realize that I am the one who has lost heart. Crazy fool, for so many years, I never doubted you for a second, even if you didn’t move a thought, it turned out that trusting someone would really end up with this kind of result, Old Xiao, you are right, everything is It's fake, everything is fake..."

"Listen to me." Xiao Liping said solemnly: "You are very angry and disappointed now. If you want to beat me or even shoot me, it's normal. I heard you opened the pistol insurance, but You still don’t understand that you are not the deceived person, but everything revolves around you. You can’t see every aspect of things... The betrayer exists for you, and there is something more behind that string of irrational numbers. Many things, Gu Tie, you will know everything, and I will no longer have any reservations."

Gu Tie raised his pistol with red eyes, pointed the muzzle at Xiao Liping’s forehead, and couldn’t help shaking his index finger on the trigger guard.

Xiao Liping continued: "Some things are happening. We built this bunker to preserve the last hope of mankind in the Doomsday Judgment. However, with the interpretation of irrational numbers in Lemuel’s procedures, everything has changed. We I found that the world is a balance that is gradually tilting. The countdown date is only an indication of the moment when the balance will finally fall. But if we try to restore the weight, we may be able to restore the balance of the balance. This is the theme of the betrayer, what we really want to do. , And you, Gu Tie, dear Adam, are the most important weight."

"Balance...you and the betrayer in the "world"..." Gu Tie asked anxiously,

"Yes." Xiao Liping replied immediately, "You didn't guess wrong."

Gu Tie swallowed his saliva and felt a throbbing pain from his dry throat. He didn't know what to do now. He had always been the one who grasped the overall situation, judged the situation, and made decisions, but suddenly the world fell over. He became a poor worm who was blinded, isolated, and imprisoned in a wall made up of false masks. The huge psychological gap made the Chinese feel distressed. There was a buzzing in his mind. He unconsciously aimed at the opposite side. Partner of Xiao Liping, imagined Xiao Liping’s eyebrows with 9mm bullet holes, and the feeling of warm blood splashing on his cheeks,

At this time, the cheers of the mountain whistling and the tsunami sounded outside, and Matrell’s mobilization speech was over, and the sound of artillery fire gradually became thinner. Suddenly a very soft sound of music entered the ear drums, which came from the depths of the power distribution shaft. Xiao Liping said calmly, "It's started."

"What started." Gu Tieqing couldn't help asking,

"War."

"The war has already begun,...Old Xiao."

"No, the real war."

Xiao Liping pushed tortoiseshell glasses, his eyes twinkling: "There is an underground war about the future of the world, Adam."
