Before the apocalypse, the entrance passwords to secret bases were changed from time to time. After the apocalypse, all such bases across the country were forced to close at the same time, and the passwords were fixed to the last one generated.
This is the secret of secrets. Even Meng Xiangyun only got the password here when he entered the Donghua Mountains.
If it is true as he said, then if they enter the wrong password, they will return in vain, or they will start the secret base's self-destruction program, and maybe all of them will die here.
"Is that why you have been staying here?"
Lin Qingqing looked at the other person up and down. It was already August. If what the sniper said was true, then he had been in the jungle for at least... more than seven months?
"Yes." The sniper said without any hesitation.
——Hiss~ What kind of willpower is this that allows a person to guard this primitive forest alone for so long. If they didn't come today, how long would he have to wait? Will he keep waiting just for such a possibility?
What Lin Qingqing could think of, Meng Xiangyun could also think of. He felt a little moved in his heart and his tone couldn't help but soften.
"Are you the only one? Do you know how the password here was changed?"
He had already given up hope, but after asking casually, he didn't expect the sniper warrior to know such a secret.
"It's just me," the sniper nodded and continued, "I also know the password."
"What??"
Meng Xiangyun raised his head suddenly, and his eyes returned to their usual sharpness, "Do you know the password? How did you know it?"
Being stared at by the other party's knife-like eyes, the sniper remained calm and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask me to open the door later."
"Tell us the cause and effect first, and we will judge whether it is true or not." Meng Xiangyun took a deep breath and said.
"Can......"
The sniper fell silent after responding. He frowned, as if he was trying to organize his words.
"Here's the thing..." After a while, he finally spoke in a low voice.
It turns out that he knew the password because he rescued an officer stationed here by chance.
Before the end, he happened to be performing a training mission with his companions in the East China Mountains. That night, four of the ten companions turned into zombies, and the other six were caught off guard, and two more were scratched.
In the end, there were only four people left, and they could not contact the organization. They kept wandering around the Donghua Mountains until seven or eight days later, by chance, they came to the vicinity of this secret base.
"There was originally a hundred-man garrison here, but when we came there were only twenty-three left."
At that time, the door to the secret base was forced to close, and the twenty-three people were trapped inside. Fortunately, there were enough supplies inside, and there were only a few of them. Even if they stayed there for several months, it would not be a problem.
"Second Lieutenant Xue discovered us through the monitor outside. After proving our identity, he asked us to inquire about the situation outside."
"After that, the four of us finally found a way out and left the Donghua Mountains."
After saying this, the sniper paused: "But it was already a month and a half later when we came back, and only two of the four of us were left."
He didn't say how the other two were doing, and Meng Xiangyun was too sensible to ask.
"When we came here, Second Lieutenant Xue was being hunted."
"Being hunted? Wait...they came out?"
Meng Xiangyun interrupted him, he was very unbelievable. The defense system here is not so easy to break through, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the password to retrieve the things.
"Well, they came out," the sniper didn't get angry even if he was interrupted. He continued: "It is said that a person awakened the metallic power. His second-level skill can melt metal, so he melted the metal inside. The walls were destroyed.”
"In other words,
Someone among these twenty-three people has become a traitor, is it the metallic superpower? "Meng Xiangyun immediately grasped the key.
"More than that, a traitorous comrade."
"...Are they all superpowers?" Everyone is a soldier, and they have weapons in their hands. Why can't a dozen of them control someone?
"No, there are only two superpowers, one is the metal type, and the other is the special type. He can tame wild beasts."
"Taming wild beasts? That's no wonder." Meng Xiang understood. "So in the end, it was the special power user who attracted the wild beasts in the forest and killed everyone, except you?"
"No, there are three people left in the end, me, Second Lieutenant Xue, and the special type of superpower user."
"What about the password?"
"The password was told to me by Second Lieutenant Xue..."
"You'd better tell me the truth!"
Meng Xiangyun interrupted the sniper and looked at him sharply. At the same time, everyone aimed their guns at the sniper in front.
Lin Qingqing's eyes flashed. There was indeed something wrong with what the sniper said. In such an important place with such a tight defense system, how could the password be changed so easily?
The atmosphere suddenly returned to a tense level, and the sniper couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sniper rifle.
"It was indeed Second Lieutenant Xue who told me..." The sniper's tone was obviously not so sure.
After saying this, he was speechless.
The two sides stayed stiff like this for a while. Finally, Lin Qingqing came up to Meng Xiangyun and whispered something to him.
Meng Xiangyun frowned even more when he heard this.
He turned his head and glanced at the path leading to a secret base at the foot of the mountain, then looked at the sniper, and then waved someone forward to hand over his weapon.
"Take us there first." Meng Xiangyun said to the sniper.
The sniper said nothing and walked at the front obediently. Meng Xiangyun left two people to stand guard, and all the others followed.
"Captain, what's going on?" The rest of the Qingmang team gathered over.
"Talking as we walk," Lin Qingqing waved Yin Yaxiu over, and then told her about the confrontation just now.
"Yaxiu, how true or false do you think the sniper's words are?"
There were many contradictions between the sniper's actions and what he said.
It's just that none of them are from the army, and they don't understand the hierarchical relationship here. However, Yin Yaxiu has been exposed to this knowledge.
"Theoretically, a system password of this level cannot be easily modified, and it should not be mastered by a stationed low-level officer," Yin Yaxiu said thoughtfully.
"However, although it cannot be changed, it does not mean that other tricks cannot be done."
"What's the meaning?"
Qu Xingchi didn't understand, but Lin Qingqing had some understanding.
Ahead, the team quickly came to a secret gate. This gate was hidden on the mountain wall and covered with dense vines. It would not be found if you didn't look carefully.
There is an electronic lock on the door, but there is no power supply now.
They quickly removed the door lock, and everyone continued to go deeper.
Since the entrance is built on the mountain wall, it goes without saying that there must be a long tunnel inside. The tunnel was very damp, and there were clear ruts on the ground. Everyone walked nearly a thousand meters before reaching the end of the tunnel.
There is another door in front of you. After dismantling the gate and exiting the tunnel, we saw a mountain road with two rows of tall trees planted on both sides of the mountain road. Apart from the uneven road surface, it was much wider and neater than the paths outside.
Keep walking, and at the end of the road there is a gate built on the mountain wall. Needless to say, there must be another tunnel behind it.
Meng Xiangyun was already familiar with this, and seemed to have known the structure here for a long time.
After passing through the second tunnel, it was no longer just a mountain road. In addition to the trees on both sides of the road, everyone also saw rows of barracks. Around the barracks
There are not only sentry towers, but also barbed wire, and there are two small training grounds inside. Obviously, this is where the garrison lives.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Meng Xiangyun held a gun and signaled the investigators to investigate the situation.
"Report, there is no one here, and there are no zombies."
"No zombies?" Meng Xiangyun was a little surprised. According to the proportion, at least 60% of the one hundred garrison should have turned into zombies. Could it be that all of these zombies were killed by the remaining garrison?
He looked at the sniper, but the sniper shook his head, indicating that he didn't know clearly.
"Keep walking, investigators remain alert at all times!"
Meng Xiangyun waved, and everyone walked towards the real military supply depot.
Lin Qingqing walked at the back and was surprised to hear Wen Ling say there were no zombies here.
Although she and Meng Xiangyun had the same idea, guessing that the remaining garrison might have killed the companions who had turned into zombies, she still kept an eye on it and called Qu Xingchi and asked him to go to the barracks to check it out in person.
After hearing this, Qu Xingchi quietly disappeared from the back of the team.
Unlike the previous gate, the gate of the military depot is still working normally at this time, and identity verification is required when entering.
Meng Xiangyun was already prepared for this. He stepped forward and checked his irises, voiceprint, and fingerprints one by one.
"Dip~ The identity verification is correct, please enter your password."
As soon as the electronic sound sounded, a palm-sized LCD screen immediately popped up on the electronic door. Everyone took two steps back consciously when they saw this.
Turning around, he thought for a moment, and then entered three long and complex passwords in sequence.
Immediately afterwards, a "ding~" sound was heard, and the LCD screen bounced back.
"The password entered is correct!"
Hearing this voice, Meng Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his judgment was correct. The sniper was indeed lying. After completing the task, he must examine this person carefully.
He subconsciously glanced at the sniper and frowned when he saw that the other person still had no expression.
Are you feeling confident or giving up the struggle?
Meng Xiangyun seemed to be a tough guy. He put his hands behind his back and thought about how to pry the information out of his mouth.
