Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 157

On Lubyanka Square in Moscow, where the headquarters building of the Russian Federal Security Service is located, an armed helicopter is landing on the roof at this time.The heavy snow in Moscow buried this square building, and the protruding stone edges became a few ink lines, and the old tree in front of the gate was crooked from the neck.

Ms. Dunyasha was standing in front of the central screen listening to the report on the progress of the arrest operation. Not long ago, the FSB arrested a group of foreigners hiding in Moscow on the grounds of espionage.The negotiator next to him was holding a computer and chatting endlessly, and Ms. Dunyasha rubbed her forehead.

Suddenly a message came from the phone. Dunyasha glanced at it, raised her hand to signal the negotiator to shut up, and quickly opened the door to go outside.Dunyasha is 55 years old, with short platinum-blonde hair, a combat uniform, and a gun on her hips. She can get on a plane and rush to the scene of arrest at any time.

After she deciphered the document and saw the content, her pale eyebrows frowned. The people next to her thought she was not feeling well, so they came over to greet her with concern.Dunyasha flipped through the sent photos, and after looking at them for a while, she turned off her mobile phone and asked someone for a proof of authority to connect to the main machine.

The window was covered with a layer of snow, and the passers-by were all wrapped in thick padded jackets and headscarves. The cars passed by on the road, leaving messy ruts, and no one paid attention to them.There is a point of light floating in the dark sky higher up. It is the space carrier "Theseus" that is cruising at high altitude, and its huge mast can be seen.

The cobweb exploded with white light, and the white light exploded more and more times, and the time became longer and longer.Hollow chaos is occurring all over the world, and some islands in the Arctic have even been destroyed by the objects transported by the void and then sunk.The situation is turbulent, places that are not peaceful are more chaotic, and places that were originally peaceful have become extremely sensitive and tense.The space carriers of various countries are patrolling above the spider web day and night, the space station has added supplies many times, the number of satellites has increased, and various absurd conspiracy theories have quietly emerged.

Dunyasha propped up the shell of the main link machine, pressed the earphone with one hand and waited for the signal to be connected there, and the waiting time was often very long.When Dunyasha was about to leave a message, there was finally a voice in the earphone.She exhales.

"Hey, mom. I miss you very much." Shanhua's voice came over, intermittently sizzled with current fluctuations.

Dunyasha pushed aside the things on the table with one hand, smiled lightly, and replied in a pretended indifference: "Don't give this to your old lady. I'll send you something, pay attention to receiving it."

"What? What big fish did you catch?" Shanhua's voice was slightly smiling, sounding happy, "I've been waiting for your call for a long time."

"The things you want me to investigate, bad boy, actually know how to instigate your old lady to use her power to do bad things? Huh? Why do you want me to investigate these things? Fortunately, the bureau has spies on the side of Lake Baikal, otherwise this matter would be really difficult. "Dunyasha opened the data transmission interface of the main link machine, and put the mobile phone into the transmission cabin.

Shanhua looked at the progress bar on the interface, and said: "A friend of mine asked me to help. It happens that you are doing this kind of work, so it is more convenient. There is a Chinese saying that the moon is the first to be near the water. This is the truth. It was my father who taught me."

"Don't mention your dead ghost father, he doesn't know where he is flying now. Is there anything else, Xiaohuahua? My mother is very busy with work, and the recent spy case is really bad."

"You can call me Shanhua, but don't call me Xiaohuahua, mom. I am not young, I am strong, not Xiaohuahua." Shanhua waited until the progress bar disappeared and extracted the file, and asked Dunyasha for the password and No., "I'm as strong as a bear."

Dunyasha brushed her hair and laughed, and said, "Then you have to thank your father."

"Have you been busy lately? I heard there is a spy case? I saw the news report. That's really bad."

"I dare say I'm going to lead people to the scene of the firefight in a few minutes. They're drug dealers and spies, and they're not Russians. It's smoky and a mess." Dunyasha gestured while supporting her waist With a few gestures, he raised his chin to look at the bright light spots in the sky, and the parade speed of the space carrier was very slow.

"How is your side? What have you been up to recently? After going back to the plan for so long, shouldn't there be some new discoveries?" Dunyasha continued. mess, what should we do?"

She sighed one last time, fixed her eyes on the transmission screen, and entered the coordinates and positioning data on the screen according to the location of the Shanhua signal.Shanhua stood there without moving. It was dawn, food was cooking on the stove, and the bitter aroma of cocoa melted and tea leaves floated over the camp.

"We found a lot of amazing things, it's a long story, I will tell you slowly when I go back." Shanhua took the steel cup from the fire, and the cocoa inside was boiling, he shook it, and waited for it Cool down, "You should also pay attention to safety. I will visit you when I finish my mission and come back. Remember to save dinner for me."

Dunyasha laughed, pulled the phone out of the transmission compartment, pretended not to care, and said, "Who cares if you come to see me, I don't have time. Unless you can break into the headquarters building of the Security Bureau. It's all right ? If it’s okay, hang up first.”

The alarm suddenly sounded in the building, and several helicopters appeared outside the window. Dunyasha knew that it was time for her to go on a mission.Shanhua also heard the alarm, and he quickly bid farewell to his mother.

"Stay safe. I love you, Mom."

After Dunyasha said "bad boy", she disconnected in a hurry, and only Xinghe's prompt sound remained in Shanhua's earphones.Dunyasha rushed out the door, took out the bulletproof vest from the closet and put it on. When she buckled the hydrogen bomb around her waist, she suddenly stopped and said softly, "I love you too."

Then she went out and shouted orders to the police officers. The roar of the helicopter and the sound of sirens outside almost shattered the glass.Dunyasha came to the top floor, and the wind whipped up by the suspended oars howled around her.

The cocoa was cold, Shanhua took a sip, and suddenly felt that today's cup tasted different from the previous one, and was sweeter than the previous one.After entering the password and number, he decrypted the document, glanced at the person on the other side, sat on the box and began to look through it, but he didn't understand it.

Fu Zhong walked around behind a tree with his backpack in hand, put the backpack next to Shanhua, and said it belonged to Lincheng, and asked Shanhua to take care of it.Shanhua called to Fu Zhong, and handed him the things in her hand: "Mom got me new information about Constantine. Take a look, is this right?"

-Meet the Northeast Chinese gangster, Ms. Bai Zhu.The transactions involved the smuggling of arms and drugs.The "Tuna" plan to combat pirates in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is being discussed.

What Fu Zhong first saw was a line of words on the top, and then turned to the photo below.He stared at one of them for a long time, his eyes narrowed, his eyebrows furrowed in a downward arc.This is a frontal photo of Bai Zhu captured by a miniature camera. Fu Zhong enlarged the photo to examine the face carefully.

"Is there any question?" Shanhua asked, "This is the gang leader that Constantine met with today, Ms. Bai Zhu."

"I've seen this person before, where did I see her? I can't remember." Fu Zhong pressed his eyes and wiped his eyebrows, "It looks familiar, I must have seen her somewhere."

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. His memory was very vague. He didn't know where he saw this face, but he did.In the woods in the early morning, there is a light smell of dew on the begonias and dead leaves. When the sun shines, the smell becomes more intense.

Suddenly there was a call from the pager, and the person on the other end was calling him over.Fu Zhong borrowed Shanhua's tablet, agreed and ran down the gentle slope to the crowd on the opposite side.Begonias are lying crookedly in the depression, and the flowers of the paper strips are all crushed by the dew.The dew was heavy last night.

Everyone surrounded the well, keeping away from three meters away.Xinghe opened the isolation cover above the wellhead, and Geng Shuming walked in wearing a full set of protective clothing and a helmet on his head to prevent inhalation of toxic gases.He glanced down the well and began to measure with his instrument.

Ji Yao stood silently outside the isolation enclosure, crossing his hands to see Geng Shuming working inside, while the executive next to him raised his gun and aimed it at the well fence.Fu Zhong quietly took Ji Yao aside, opened the photo and showed it to Ji Yao: "Does the chief know this person?"

The voices of people in the camp were harmonious and dispersed, as if there were countless echoes, and even the fragrance of plants and trees was blurred.Seeing the photo, Ji Yao moved his body, raised his eyes to look at Fu Zhong, frowned and asked, "What kind of photo is this? Where did you come from?"

Fu Zhong pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is Ms. Bai Zhu, an entrepreneur and the leader of a certain gang in the Northeast, who runs the arms and drug business and has contacts with Russia."

After finishing speaking, he tiptoed his toes, made two gestures, and added: "I'll talk about the details later, I just want to ask you... if you know this person. You grew up in the Northeast, Might be more familiar."

"Impossible." Ji Yao quickly interrupted him, "This is my mother, she can't be some kind of gangster, or some kind of arms and drugs. Listen, Fu Zhong, it must be impossible."

Fu Zhong was shocked when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago when he followed Ji Yao back to his old residence in Nancheng, a woman came to open the door, she seemed to look like this.At that time, Ji Yao said that this was his mother. He had a bad relationship with his mother and hadn't been home for many years.

At that time, when I glimpsed in Nancheng, the temperament of the woman was indeed extraordinary.After a long time, I forgot about it. Only Ji Yao mentioned it occasionally, and I couldn't recall the rest.

"Could it be a mistake? Chief, take a closer look, maybe it's just a resemblance." Fu Zhong's heart suddenly tightened, and a sense of crisis was approaching, like a transparent wall that had always been close to him. It was bombed down at this time.

What followed was a long and terrifying silence. Ji Yao lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were trembling, but it was not a sentimental emotion - he was panicking, the panic climbing up from the bottom of his heart, like a time bomb, suddenly came from My heart exploded.

He couldn't accept the sudden information, he was caught off guard like a bullet.Before Ji Yao had the time to think about the issues with his mother, a series of shocking information about his mother was handed over to him.

"Of course." Ji Yao looked down at the photo for a long time before speaking. His voice was flat, and he returned to the tone he used to think he didn't care about anything. He rubbed his fingers on the portrait, "She is my mother. I Mom's name is Bai Zhu."

After speaking, he stretched out his five fingers, touched his neck with his hand, and said, "I took you to my house, in Nancheng. That time a woman came to open the door...and then closed it again. That woman is her .Remember? You should have seen her."

Fu Zhong nodded, swallowed his Adam's apple, and replied: "There is indeed an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, but I didn't remember it was her. Is it really your mother? I... I can't speak. What should I say?"

He touched his mouth, and suddenly became incoherent, turned his eyes to look at the woods and distant mountains, and the bright sun on the top of the mountains.Fu Zhong also became nervous at this time. He stepped on his heels, trying to express something but couldn't find the words to speak.

Ji Yao smiled and didn't blame her. He patted Fu Zhong on the back, looked at the photo and asked, "Why do you have a photo of her? Is this what she looks like now? It's changed a lot. Bai Zhu... ..So I still remember my mother's name is Bai Zhu."

"She...she is in contact with Constantine, she belongs to a gang, and has great influence in the Northeast. In addition, she also has many real estate, banking, transportation, energy and other assets under her name, all over the world." Fu Zhong After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "There are also arms smuggling and drug trafficking."

Ji Yao didn't answer immediately, he flipped through a few photos, opened his mouth after reading it, but didn't know what to say.With a wry smile on his face, his eyebrows frowned into a graceful arc, and he said, "You know what, Fu Zhong. I always thought that my mother was just a very ordinary person, just like most families, very ordinary. But you tell me now , she's rich, she's a gang leader, she's laundering money...I can't imagine, honey, it's amazing."

Fu Zhong turned off the tablet, he was afraid that it would disturb Ji Yao's emotions.The mist in the forest is dissipating, the sun is shining on the hilltop of Yuanqing, and a clump of phoenix-tailed bamboos is rustling.A few birds flew up, with strange appearance and emerald feathers, standing on the treetops and chirping.

"The specifics have yet to be verified. We can't conclude that this is your mother. Although they have the same name and very similar temperament and appearance, we still have to maintain a 30% suspicion."

"Where did you get the information? What is the purpose?"

Fu Zhong hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Chief Wei Shanhua's mother is a high-level executive of the FSB. I asked Chief Wei's mother to help investigate the information of the KGB, and it turned out that a lot of trouble was involved. Even Constantine of Lake Baikal was involved. Very problematic."

Wei Shanhua was summoned by Fu Zhong, and confessed everything under Ji Yao's stern gaze.After finishing speaking, Ji Yao expressed his understanding, looked over the faces of Fu Zhong and Shanhua, and said in a serious manner: "You have violated Article 5 of Chapter 321 of the regulations, do you know that? Friends."

"What crime?"

"Collusion and collusion, privately collecting information and not reporting it upwards, causing information delays and causing potential harm to the operation team." Ji Yao said, he adjusted his gun, brushed it on Fu Zhong's shoulder, "consciously go to receive punishment The same goes for Wei Shanhua and you."

"Immediately?"

"No, it's time for the task to be executed, and there is no need to execute it immediately. I will record it in the record and settle it one by one after the task is over. This is the rule, and you have to understand the rules." Ji Yao said, and he patted Fu Zhong's arm , and then walked to the well.

"Can any of you tell me what happened to the cowhide covered on the steel plate? I haven't had time to ask, everything has disappeared." Ji Yao stood in front of the crowd and said, he gestured twice, looking The executive behind him.

Gao Yanwen came out from the side and asked Ji Yao to look at his computer: "The ancient method of sealing the coffin, the live cowhide is peeled off, and before the blood is cold, it is covered with the cold coffin board, and the gap is sealed in one go. There will be no water seepage for a hundred years."

"You need to peel a piece of cowhide alive, and then you have to have a very cold environment." Ji Yao said, "What's the point of doing this? You can drill a well, why use this ancient method to seal it? Both It's contradictory."

"Maybe it's just a sense of ritual. After all, from ancient times to the present, some things left by our ancestors are very useful."

"That's going to give us a real problem."

Professor Geng Shuming was coming out of the protective cover. Ji Yao asked him about the situation inside. The professor showed Ji Yao the screen of the instrument and said: "The water is of high quality and can be drunk directly. It is really incredible. The well wall is as smooth as new. No moss algae growth, very clean."

Ji Yao looked down at the detection situation displayed on the screen, nodded, and asked another question: "Have any toxic gases or hallucinogenic substances been detected?"

"No, Commander. If the equipment is not broken, the air inside the protective cover is very clean. I wear a tight protective suit, just worried about encountering poisonous gas, but this worry seems unnecessary."

Ji Yao hummed briefly, but did not speak, and Geng Shuming noticed that his eyebrows had never been stretched.Ji Yao pointed to the photo on the screen and said, "You say the water is of high quality and can be drunk directly, and the walls of the well are also very clean? Professor, think about it, there is a problem here."

"Of course, if it's okay, then hell. The analyzer shows that the well has been in existence for more than two years, and the internal microenvironment is suitable for algae and moss growth, but there is nothing in it. Except for clear well water, the rest Nothing."

Fu Zhong looked at it for a while, and said: "There is a hypothesis that the time in the well is frozen, so everything remains the same. This is just a hypothesis, you can think about it."

"It's not impossible. The time in this place is always wrong. We should think about it. But think about it, why do we need to freeze the time in the well? What kind of technology can do this? Who did it? Woolen cloth?"

Geng Shuming didn't speak. He couldn't answer Ji Yao's question. Fu Zhong asked another question: "Is there anything else unusual? Is there any strange phenomenon in the underground geological structure? These are all important information, so get them as soon as possible." Reflect upward."

Ji Yao turned to look at him, looked at him for a while and said, "If you want to take revenge on me, you don't have to spend so much trouble."

"No, I just remind the professor to provide correct and useful information, otherwise it will cause potential harm to our actions. Now is an extraordinary period, and the task must be completed as soon as possible."

"Commander." Geng Shuming yelled, and Ji Yao turned to listen to him. "There is something weird about the underground strata. The detection wave bounced back when it reached a depth of 50 meters. According to the imaging analysis, the bottom was dug out. A long space, a bit like a tunnel."

"What are you doing digging tunnels?" Ji Yao said softly, and he turned the stereo image on the screen, "During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military sent many 'tunnel mice', and these people were dedicated to digging tunnels. No, this is not the same as the Vietnam War Too many years."

Ji Yao turned around and asked Fu Zhong: "What do you think?"

"We have to go down and have a look." Fu Zhong said, almost without thinking. "There are many American executives in the team. I know a veteran who participated in the Vietnam War. Maybe he can be useful."

"David Wells!" Suddenly someone shouted into the camp in a drawn-out tone. An old man wearing a tactical vest was sitting by the stream and was cleaning his gun. He picked up his coat and walked towards the crowd.

He walked over cursing, old but not weak, his muscles were tanned by the sun, and he wore a silver amulet around his neck.He stood still, his two thick black eyebrows colliding like angry caterpillars.

Ji Yao noticed a discolored tattoo on Old Wells' right arm, and he saw it more clearly when he turned around. It was a Mickey Mouse with a flashlight in his left hand and a pistol in his right.

Ji Yao can recognize the sign of "True Mouse".Fu Zhong whispered to Ji Yao: "His name is David Wells, 76 years old. He participated in the Vietnam War and belonged to the 'True Rats'. After retiring, he was assigned to the Time Bureau and participated in the retrospective plan."

"How did he get selected? This bad temper and bad habits of drinking are not what an executive should have. And he is too old, how did he get in?" Ji Yao raised his eyebrows and expressed his difficulty Believe it, Wells has come to him.

Wells' red nose was very conspicuous. He looked at Ji Yao and said, "Are you calling me?"

"Yes," Ji Yao nodded, although he was not satisfied with Wells' tone, "There is a tunnel down the well, I hope to get your help."

"Oh," said Wells, slung his coat over his shoulders. "Is that a real thing? Going back to my old business again?"

Before Ji Yao answered, Lin Cheng, who was wearing a heavy protective suit, came out of the isolation cover with his computer in his arms, and hurriedly reported: "A signal was detected in the mine, orange. There is a large hole below, and the source of the signal is in the hole."

"You said the 'orange' signal appeared in the underground tunnel?" Ji Yao stared at the well fence for a while, "We have to destroy the source of the transmission."

Wells shrugged his shoulders, squeezed the amulet around his neck, put on his executive coat and a protective vest full of ammunition and necessities.Fu Zhong said: "I'll go down the well, it's a punishment. You stay on the ground, remember to receive my signal."

"Wait, this is a special operation. It involves personnel safety and intelligence acquisition. A meeting is required to decide. You are the auxiliary decision maker, and you are allowed to participate in the temporary meeting. Get ready and gather at the main control station for a 1-minute countdown." Ji Yao said Walking towards the main console, he raised his hand and gestured for the countdown to start.The command staff swarmed around him, including a major who was said to have been the second-in-command of a submarine.

After 10 minutes, under the evaluation of Xinghe and the strategic consultant, the data analysis results showed that the degree of danger of this operation was not high, and it was necessary to proceed.After all, there's a hole in the ground, and bombs with the badge of the ex-executive department, and the ghostly "orange," which is something to think about.

Most people in the meeting voted in favor, so the documents of the Pioneer investigation were quickly printed out, and Ji Yao stamped them.The participants signed and pressed their fingerprints, and then distributed a copy to Fu Zhong and others. The original document was saved in Xinghe's database.

"Action allowed."

Ji Yao fastened Fu Zhong's girdle, and then stuck his shorter Tang knife in the hidden button on his back: "I borrowed the knife from you, go down and pay attention to safety, and retreat if there is any situation. I tell you to agree, hear No? Otherwise, you will be considered disobedient."

"I told you to agree, Chief." Fu Zhong's voice was soft, he was afraid that the conversation would be overheard by others.

"Hey." Ji Yao agreed.

They all laughed, and Fu Zhong turned to talk to Wells about the work after going down the well. Ji Yao took off the walkie-talkie and began to issue orders, mobilizing the Xinghe command system, and the ground correspondents quickly started working.Lin Cheng took off his protective clothing and prepared to locate the source of the emission.

Fu Zhong went down the well first, followed by Wells.When I went down to ten meters down the well, Fu Zhong felt a chill pushing upwards, like falling into an ice cellar.The lamp above the head shines on the wall of the well, which is as smooth as a mirror, and the stone blocks are tightly packed.

Farther and farther away from the mouth of the well, the light was collected overhead, forming a small circle.The colder it got down, Fu Zhong noticed that the wall of the well was covered with a thick layer of water droplets, and the moisture almost soaked his clothes.In the dark, the well water is always under your feet.

"The descent is 35 meters deep, the light is weak, and the visibility is extremely low. The temperature drops to 6 degrees Celsius, and the body feels cold. There are a lot of water droplets on the wall of the well, and the air humidity is 90%. There are no harmful substances." Fu Zhong reported the situation on the walkie-talkie and stopped Wells waited for a while.

"Pay attention to whether there is a tunnel entrance on the wall of the well. The depth of the tunnel is about 50 meters, please pay attention."

"receive."

After falling another five meters, the electric light illuminated a dark object protruding from the wall of the well. While reporting, Fu Zhong gestured to Wells to slow him down.Fu Zhong took off the dagger and held it in his hand, sticking to the stone wall and approaching carefully.

He probed with a short knife, hard as metal.He also turned on the searchlight, and the model imager quickly showed the shape of the object in his eyepiece—a huge iron chain extending down into the water for an unknown length.

"The iron chain was found, the video has been uploaded to the command screen, pay attention to receiving it."

Wells hung down the sling, stepped on the wall of the well with the soles of his shoes, and descended to the same height as Fu Zhong.The cap lamp on his head illuminated a place above the chain, but found that the stone was different from other places, it was a flat steel plate, and it was locked with an iron lock.

"The tunnel entrance." Wells whispered.

Fu Zhong scraped the stone wall with a short knife, grabbed the iron chain and shook it, but the iron chain did not move at all: "The iron chain is braided inside, and there seems to be something heavy hanging below it, which is tight. A steel plate door suspected to be the entrance of the tunnel was found above. At 40.59 meters. I released the robot, hoping this little thing can help us open this door."
