"Information from the Siberian Federation... Fisherman, you are Siberian, right?" Sun Hang glanced at the fisherman beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? I know nothing." The fisherman said helplessly, "When the Siberian Federation collapsed, my grandfather wasn't even born yet... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I speak Russian even less fluently than Northeastern Chinese."

The current Siberian Autonomous Oblast is just a small piece of land in the Far East of the originally vast Siberian Federation, accounting for only about one twentieth of the total territory of the federation.

St. Petersburg, the capital of the Siberian Federation, had fallen to wave after wave of attacks from monsters a hundred years ago.

The reason why the Far East region was able to survive was entirely because of its huge strategic depth, which was able to block the momentum of the monsters' invasion to the east.

"Then how did these Anglo-Saxons get the information?" Yano frowned, "Saint Petersburg has long been a restricted area for humans. In the past hundred years, humans have never set foot in the area west of Lake Baikal... It's really strange..."

The Lake Baikal mentioned by Yano is a large freshwater lake located in the southern part of the East Siberian Plain. It is also known as the North Sea. It was once part of the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Later, for various reasons, it was occupied by the Tsarist Russian Empire, the predecessor of the Siberian Federation, and became their territory.

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world. It was formed by the collapse of the strata and its deepest point can reach 1,600 meters. When the Siberian Federation was destroyed, the remnants of the Siberian Federation and the reinforcements of the Xiazhou Federation fought desperately to block the pursuing monsters in the Lake Baikal area and repelled them after paying a huge price.

Since then, Lake Baikal has become the northwestern border of the Xiazhou Federation.

A city with refugees and former soldiers of the Siberian Federation as its main population was gradually built on the tundra east of Lake Baikal. The large piece of land, including this "Baikal City" and extending to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk at the easternmost end, is today's "Siberian Autonomous State".

In other words, although the "Siberian Autonomous State" is considered a border city-state of the Xiazhou Federation, in fact only the area around Baikal City is a real border area. Other places, including the coastal areas where fishermen live, are actually not much different from the stable Central Plains region.

"It would be nice if we could catch one alive and ask him about it," the fisherman said. "In my impression, these Anglo-Saxons are a bunch of bullies. If we use some tricks, they will definitely tell us everything they know."

If the Tianshu Tower were to investigate the matter later, it would be the responsibility of the group of Ansa hunters, not them.

"This method is indeed feasible." Sun Hang nodded, "The only thing I'm afraid of is... there will be no one left alive."

"Uh..." The fisherman was stunned and his voice suddenly became a little softer. "These Anglo-Saxons... shouldn't all die so easily, right?"

"That's hard to say." Yano shook his head and glanced at the half body stuck in the wall. "Look at how panicked this guy is. They are obviously in big trouble down there."

"Hiss...Should we still go down?" The fisherman shrank his neck.

"Yes." Sun Hang said without hesitation, "If you have any concerns, you can go back to the ground."

"That's not the case." The fisherman shook his head. "I don't want to be a coward. Since you are determined to go down, I will go with you! On the contrary, Yano, you are not a combatant in the strict sense, so you should not go down." "I still want to take a look." Yano said, "the files left behind from that year."

As a researcher at Tianshu Tower, those things are as attractive to Yano as a hungry ghost seeing a sizzling steak or a lecher seeing a naked stunning beauty, especially when he is only one step away from the truth. If he is asked to give up now, he will not agree to anything.

Yano had already made up his mind. He had brushed shoulders with death countless times along the way. Since he could make it all the way here, this might be the will of God - don't think that people who do scientific research are not superstitious. For people like them who study strange things, the more in-depth their research is, the more they firmly believe in the existence of gods.

When something cannot be explained scientifically, many scholars either go crazy or turn to theology.

As long as he could take a look at those documents stored in the underground archives, Yano would think it was worth it even if the price he had to pay was his life.

He suddenly remembered an old saying from Xiazhou.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

……

The three continued to move forward along the railway tracks. As they continued to approach the central area, the space around the tracks became more and more spacious, and various infrastructures became gradually complete. The place where they were now did not look like a subway tunnel, but more like an underground commercial street with a light rail, or in other words, an underground town.

"Wow, what a great place." The fisherman looked around as he walked. "Although it can't be compared with Chunming City, it's still hard to imagine how such an underground world was built with the engineering technology and productivity of more than a hundred years ago..."

"It's not difficult to combine the strength of the two strongest countries in the human world." Yano said, "If you have the opportunity to go to Chang'an in the future, you can visit the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. That's really shocking."

"I will definitely go if I have a chance." The fisherman nodded. "By the way, what are these houses that are all painted white used for? I don't think they are for people to live in. There are not even any windows... Even though they are underground, a house without windows would suffocate people to death, right?"

"This whole block is an experimental area," Yano said. "You can also call it a practice area."

"Exercise area?" Sun Hang asked curiously, "Is this a training ground?"

"That's not a wrong understanding." Yano nodded. "If I remember correctly, this area should be Area F on the first underground floor. There are four training areas here, A, B, C, and D, corresponding to the four types of terrain: desert, forest, ice field, and city. What we are seeing now is Area D, which represents the urban terrain."

Sun Hang remembered very clearly that the diameter of the underground area of ​​the Nameless Island Research Institute was almost twice that of the surface buildings, and its outermost edge had long extended beyond the basin - the ruins on the ground were, in fact, only a corner of the iceberg sticking out of the water.
