Chapter 19. Top Secret

Two days passed.

Colin drove back to the city center.

He went home this time mainly to check if there was any theft, and to clean up. After all, he hasn’t lived in it for a long time, but because it is a large three-story house, Colin didn’t even clean the first floor all night. , In the end, I called the cleaning company and sent several people to finish it in one day.

Finally, he checked to see if there were any small holes in the house. Although Colin thought he was quite courageous, he still had nothing to do with spooky and horror events.

All of Ke Lin's life savings has been put on this house, and he is very concerned about it.

The people from the Countermeasure Bureau sent Colin the location, but it was not the location of the Countermeasure Bureau headquarters. It was still in the tavern next to the Los Angeles Police Department. Someone should be waiting for them in the tavern, Colin thought so.

When he drove the car into the underground garage and saw Eugene's car, she had already arrived.

Because it was early in the morning, the tavern was not open, and Eugene, dressed in punk, stood outside the door, playing with his mobile phone.

"This is indeed your defense mechanism. When facing an unfamiliar environment, you will become a younger sister."

Colin complained, it's not that this kind of alternative dress is not good-looking, it's just that he doesn't like this kind of heavy metal or other pop culture.

"Wow, are all divorced men as mean as you?"

Eugene is angry, isn't it just hurting each other?

"Maybe so, besides, generally only the chainsaw massacres in plasma movies drive pickup trucks, you know, that kind of scene is in the countryside, soaking ears and tongues in jars with formalin and stuff like that. "

Colin began to complain about Eugene's taste.

"Oh my God! I encountered a supernatural event! I dare not go home anymore. I spend the night in Internet cafes or find hotels to sleep in."

Eugene folded his hands on his shoulders in a panic.

"Father..."

Colin laughed back in anger. It had to be said that Eugene won this time.

Just as the two were arguing, a black car stopped outside the tavern, and the windows slowly rolled down.

"It's Agent Colin and Agent Eugene, please get in the car, because the location needs to be kept highly confidential, and sending it in the communication software may be intercepted by hackers from SCT or other organizations, please understand."

A middle-aged man in casual clothes in the driver's seat spoke to the two of them neither humble nor overbearing.

The two of them had no objection, got into the car, and sat in the back seat, because the co-pilot also had a terrifying man who was armed to the teeth and was on guard at any time. There was no good skin on his face, either a knife wound or a claw mark left by a wild beast.

……

……

after an hour.

The car drove into the mountain tunnel, where there was no mobile phone signal at all, and the only lighting tools for the 12-kilometer-long tunnel were warm yellow LED lights lined up.

After going deep into the tunnel for 5 kilometers, the vehicle turned into an emergency passage.

When constructing all tunnels, the evacuation problem under special circumstances will be taken into consideration, especially for such an ultra-long tunnel, hundreds of evacuation sites will be set up.

But what puzzled Colin and Eugene was that they did not leave the mountain after entering the emergency passage, they were still in the tunnel, and the light was getting dimmer, so they could only see the road vaguely, and the dark green light was extremely uncomfortable .

Then there was a maze-like fork in the road, and Colin and Eugene were almost dizzy, let alone the driver.

The light is getting weaker and weaker, as if entering a different space in the dark.

"Considering the issue of confidentiality, no matter entering the base or leaving the base, you need a special person to pick you up, and you need a designated means of transportation. If an unknown vehicle is scanned, some of the established mechanisms will be activated and will be destroyed indiscriminately."

The driver reminded very seriously.

Eugene swallowed, the level of secrecy was a little too perverted.

After detouring at many intersections for nearly 10 minutes, they finally arrived at the destination. The driver signaled Eugene and Colin to get off the car, but the security guards with animal claw marks did not move.

Immediately afterwards, the driver pushed open a fire door and entered a small computer room with an old-fashioned elevator inside. The red lights above and the rusty facilities around made them feel a little uneasy.

"I can only send you here, I have no right to enter the base."

"I think you will be surprised. This was originally part of the alliance's top secret plan. It was a reserve base for nuclear countermeasures after the territory was destroyed by nuclear weapons. But this time the crisis far exceeded that level, so it was activated in advance. , as long as you take the elevator, you can reach the headquarters of the eleventh department."

"So farewell. In addition, thank you very much. My wife works in the stock exchange. Without you, I can't imagine what would happen. Here, I offer my highest respect."

After speaking, the driver bowed to the two very sincerely, and then drove away.

Leaving Colin Eugene in the computer room facing the coward.

"It's fucking enough to bluff people."

Colin lit a cigarette and hissed sharply. He had never seen this scene before. The mobile phone showed that it was outside the service area, and the signal bar was directly marked with a cross.

Eugene also took a cigarette from Colin's pack and started smoking.

"I used to watch those kind of spy movies, you know." Eugene gasped, and continued: "I thought the headquarters would be behind the hidden door of the antique shop and watch shop, and after opening a wooden door, there would be a new high-tech world , now it seems that I am too stupid, and far underestimated the abilities of these officials."

"No wonder Gray is still running around outside as the general manager, who the hell wants to stay in such a ghostly place."

Colin glanced at the facilities in the next computer room and the red lights, which gave him a very eerie feeling. Compared to this kind of place, he would rather live in his haunted LDK apartment.

"Then let's... go down?"

After Eugene finished his cigarette in a few gulps, she didn't really want to press the button of the elevator.

Colin stomped out the cigarette butt and slapped it.

The iron gate of the elevator slowly opened, and then there was an infrared scanning device inside, which scanned the two people's bodies from beginning to end.

As if the authentication was successful, the light turned from red to green, and the two dared to go inside.

Colin tapped the button again, and the iron gate of the elevator slowly closed, and then the sound of the engine starting became more piercing. Compared with the elevator, it was more like some large-scale equipment of some hydraulic engineering facilities, rumbling and torturing the eardrums.

The elevator began to sink slowly, and the speed became faster and faster, until the two of them even felt a little weightless, and their heads were slightly dizzy.

After sinking like this for 1 minute, it still hasn't reached the destination.

"I've heard of some underground laboratories before. They seem to study dark matter or something. In order to avoid the interference of cosmic particles and the like, they will be built very deep underground, even three or four kilometers underground."

Colin remembered a documentary he had watched before.

"Didn't realize you were a fucking rocket scientist."

In order to relieve the feeling of depression, Eugene joked that this feeling of falling was really uncomfortable, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

It wasn't until the elevator went down for a full 5 minutes that it stopped slowly and the iron gate slowly opened.

The underground facility can see the situation above through the equipment, and when they know the arrival of the two, someone greets them outside the door.

"Agent Colin, Agent Eugene, welcome to the Headquarters of Division No. 11 of the Countermeasures Bureau."
