Tang Feng walked to the north wall in surprise, where red, yellow, and black doors appeared one after another. Tang Feng touched the red door with his hand. It was made of iron, which looked very heavy and more What surprised him was that although a layer of dust had fallen here, there was no trace of a spider web.

Tang Feng looked back at Han Jiang, who was equally astonished, and Makarov, who was completely shocked, "What kind of place is this? Have you never seen it, old horse?"

The old horse mechanically shook his head, opened his mouth half-opened, but did not speak. Han Jiang decided to open the red iron door first and take a look, "I checked, and the seven doors are all heavy iron doors, and they were Painted in seven different colors of red, yellow, black, purple, blue, green and white, I think they must have special meanings."

"Well, what does this red door mean?" Tang Feng asked.

"Red is the most eye-catching. I think there must be an important place behind this door." Han Jiang said, stretched out his hand, and pushed the door hard. , It might not be possible to open it with a gun."

"Let's try with a gun!" Tang Feng suggested.

Han Jiang didn't argue, but Makarov's voice came from behind him, "Don't try in vain. Based on my years of service in the army, this kind of fortification can prevent nuclear, biological and chemical weapons at first glance. Think about it, it How can your pistols open this iron door if they are all protected against the attack of nuclear weapons?"

"Then there is nothing we can do?" Tang Feng was not reconciled.

Makarov came over, glanced at the red door, and said, "I estimate that this door is at least [-] to [-] centimeters thick. It is difficult to open it even with explosives. If you want to open it, There are only two ways, one is to open it with a key..."

When Makarov said this, he stopped on purpose, as if he was asking for the opinions of Han Jiang and Tang Feng. Han Jiang waved his hand, "Where did we get the key, let's talk about it!"

Makarov continued this time, "Second, as far as I know, generally such a large-scale fortification should have an internal control room, which is used to open the gate if the key is damaged or lost."

"Internal control room?!" Tang Feng and Han Jiang moved their eyes to the other doors at the same time.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang pushed several gates to the south and north respectively, but each gate was tightly closed and could not be pushed at all. "Isn't this internal control room here?" Tang Feng said, looking towards the dark alleyway to the east.

Makarov waved his hand, "Generally, this internal control room is not too far away, it should be in this hall."

"It's here? But..." Tang Feng showed embarrassment, "But the seven gates here are all closed."

"Don't worry, young man." Makarov said, walking to the position under the north wall that corresponds to the white gate on the south. "There are four gates on the south wall, while there are only three gates on the north side. Maybe this is where the strangeness lies."

Makarov knocked and pushed again, but the wall here was the same as the other walls, with a khaki color, and there was no sign of a crack in the door.

Makarov was also a little anxious. It seems that the internal control room he imagined is not here. He carefully checked the north wall along the rock wall, but found nothing. Makarov had to turn to the south wall again. On the south wall, iron doors in four colors of purple, blue, green, and white were lined up in sequence. Makarov walked to the last white door, but he still couldn't find the internal control room he mentioned.

"Old horse, could it be that you made a mistake, there is no such thing here at all!" Han Jiang doubted.

"Don't doubt me casually, I have more experience than you." The stubborn Makarov continued to check the last section of the wall.

Suddenly, Makarov stopped at the end of the south wall. He stared blankly at the khaki wall in front of him in a daze. Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at each other, as if they saw hope. They ran over and stared at the wall. Looking at this wall, slowly, slowly Tang Feng saw the clue, a faint line appeared on the wall...

After staring at the wall in front of him for a long time, Makarov slammed the wall, "It's here.

"This is the internal control room?" Tang Feng was dubious.

"I can't think of such care in the construction of this project. You see, if we hadn't been careful, who would have seen this door with the same color as the wall."

"Yeah, a perfect disguise." Han Jiang sighed.

"But this door is also locked, how to open it?" Tang Feng tried the small door that appeared on the wall in front of him.

"It's up to Han Jiang, isn't he a master lockpicker?" Makarov looked at Han Jiang with a smile.

"Damn, you know this too? I don't think it's such a glorious thing!" Han Jiang said, taking out a special wire from his body, poking it a few times in that imperceptible keyhole. Sure enough, the little door opened.

Tang Feng saw a row of mechanical devices inside the small door. There were two long mechanical handles. Tang Feng didn't know what they were for. Maybe they were controlling the gate of the entire fortification!

The space in the internal control room is very small, and only one person can enter. This task naturally fell on Han Jiang. Tang Feng and Makarov stayed outside the door, and Makarov leaned against the door to direct Han Jiang. Jiang, "Go and try those two mechanical handles."

"Is it possible? If I press it, the whole underground fortification will explode, right? I heard that many such projects have self-destruct devices!" Han Jiang hesitated.

"Don't talk nonsense, you listen to me, I tell you to press down, you just press!"

Han Jiang had no choice but to follow Makarov's idea, and pushed down the two mechanical handles vigorously, "Gah-ga-la-boom!" After making such a dull sound, Han Jiang pushed the two mechanical handles down. The mechanical handles were all pressed to the bottom, and Tang Feng noticed that the seven doors in the hall all made metal impact sounds at the same time.

"It's open?!" Tang Feng was still not sure. He was about to push the white iron door closest to him, but Makarov grabbed him, "Don't worry, let's act together."

Tang Feng had no choice but to wait for Han Jiang to walk out of the internal control room. Together, the three of them decided to start with the most conspicuous red iron door. The locks had already been unlocked, but the thickness of the red iron door far exceeded Tang Feng's estimation. However, Han Jiang alone could not push the red iron door open. In the end, it was Tang Feng and Han Jiang who pushed the red iron door together. Makarov estimated the thickness of the iron door in surprise. It was [-] centimeters thick. No one had opened it for a long time, and the door shaft was a little rusty. That's why Tang Feng and Han Jiang pushed the door so hard.

Tang Feng still failed to illuminate the entire space behind the red iron door with the portable flashlight. Tang Feng was secretly surprised. It seemed that there was a lot of space here. With the flashlights of Han Jiang and Makarov and two candles lit, this Only vaguely see the entire space.

The whole room is rectangular, nearly [-] square meters. The room is full of various instruments and equipment that Tang Feng does not know, and there are many tables and chairs, which are dumped on the ground crookedly. Thick dust has accumulated on everything. , obviously no one has been here for a long time.

Tang Feng quickly discovered the rules of placing the instruments and equipment here. All the instruments and equipment were arranged on four sides and arranged around a small open space in the center. There was nothing in this small open space, but when he looked up, he could see the A huge chandelier, "It looks like a conference room!" Tang Feng guessed.

"No, it's not a conference room, it looks like a small command center!" Makarov said.

"Command center?" Tang Feng and Han Jiang checked the equipment here again in surprise. Sure enough, Tang Feng found the words "console" in Russian on some equipment.

Han Jiang raised his head and looked around here. The walls and ceiling are no different from the outside walls, they are all bare reinforced concrete. Han Jiang is puzzled, "Why is there no trace of decoration inside, just exposed reinforced concrete?"

Makarov was also surprised, "Yes, there should be some decorations in the room, it's not for the sake of aesthetics, these instruments and equipment need to be protected, and they need to be soundproofed and moisture-proof!"

"Also, have you noticed..." Tang Feng suddenly noticed something, "Many consoles here are empty."

When Tang Feng said this, Han Jiang and Makarov discovered that although most of the consoles had been placed in place, there were no necessary instruments and equipment inside. "It seems that the work has not been completed yet?!" Tang Feng speculated .

"Yes, it really looks like it's not finished." Makarov also agreed with Tang Feng's opinion.

"But these frames have already been formed, and the tables, chairs and equipment are all placed here, and it doesn't look like it was abandoned halfway." Han Jiang wondered.

"I think this place should have been abandoned before the construction was almost completed and was about to be put into use!" Tang Feng speculated.

"Before it was put into use, it was abandoned? Why? It took so much effort to build it, but in the end it didn't even work, so it was abandoned?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

Makarov frowned, "It seems to be another mystery, but I think there must be some sudden change that caused this place to not be put into use in the end."

"Old Ma, this place is so close to the forward base? It seems that you Russians made something again, and you haven't heard of it at all?" Han Jiang moved to the original question again.

After hearing what Han Jiang said, Makarov frowned even more, "This...Han Jiang, I won't lie to you, I never knew that there was such a huge fortification under the advance base, but since I came into contact with it just now According to the items I have seen, this place should have been built in the 60s, but I was not here at that time, and I only came here with Buldenko in the early 70s.”

"Burtenko?! I feel more and more suspicious about this person now." Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "Old Ma, you said that the iron houses above are your training bases, and you rarely come here Come on, Buldenko is responsible for all the training, then think about it, would Bultenko know that there is such a huge and strong fortification under the training base?"

Before Makarov opened his mouth, Tang Feng also echoed, "Yes, if this place was built in the 80s of last century, then it has nothing to do with you. But you also said just now that this place was built in the 60s, and yours was built in the early 70s. How can you not know such a big secret after staying here for several years? If you don't know, then Buldenko must know."

"Surely Buldenko knew?" Makarov murmured in deep thought, "Maybe... maybe he did know!"

"But he never mentioned it to you?"

Makarov shook his head, his thoughts went back to the distant KGB headquarters in Moscow, "Maybe...maybe from the first day I accepted this task, it was not normal in here, Buldenko was a colonel, I was only a major , His military rank is higher than mine, but the higher-ups asked me to be the commander of the base and let Bultenko accept my leadership?"

"This in itself is a strange thing. Why didn't Burdenko mention it to you later?" Tang Feng asked.

Makarov shook his head, "He said that because he made a mistake before, he was sent to the forward base, and he could only be my deputy. He refused to say exactly what happened."

"What's even more strange is that Buldenko doesn't seem to have any complaints about being your deputy!" Han Jiang recalled the Buldenko in Makarov's memory.

"Yes, during the few years I worked with him, although there were some minor unpleasantnesses, the relationship was basically good, especially in front of other people, he still regarded me as a leader."

"Don't you think this is very interesting? I think he was appointed as your deputy, and he has not complained. There are only two reasons. One, he has a special mission, or he has some special intentions; two, he The mistake he made before was very serious, and he was already very grateful to Dade for being your deputy, and I can't think of any other reasons besides these two." Han Jiang analyzed.

Makarov nodded, "Han, it's not that I haven't thought about the two reasons you mentioned. The first one, I really don't see that he still has any special mission on his shoulders. Since he came to the forward base, he has He seldom leaves here. If he has a special mission, he must contact the higher authorities. It is impossible to avoid me. As for his special intentions, I have not seen that he has any special intentions except that he trains students a little bit out of the ordinary. Any special plan."

"Old Ma, don't be too confident. If he has any special missions or plans, he naturally has a special way of communication. He doesn't need to use the base's communication equipment. He can communicate with the outside world without you noticing." Get in touch," Han Jiang said.

Makarov nodded thoughtfully, "As for the second point you mentioned, I have thought about the mistakes he made before. What kind of serious mistakes would it be? It depends on his previous experience. Yelena and I went to the headquarters to investigate Bourtenko's files, and the only part he didn't know clearly was in the so-called Thirteenth Bureau, as far as I know, the KGB does not have this bureau."

"Maybe it's a secret organization, or it exists for a short time, so you don't know?" Han Jiang asked back.

"I have asked many former colleagues, and none of them have heard of this bureau."

"If it's a secret organization, or it exists for a short time, it's normal that you don't know about it."

"Even if that's the case! Buldenko is suspicious, but he's already dead!" Makarov wondered.

"Judging from the subsequent riots at the base and the presence of people in Vladivostok to meet them, this organization still has strong organizational and combat capabilities after Buldenko's death. I don't think anyone secretly leads the command. They don't have this kind of ability." organization and combat capability."

Han Jiang's analysis revived suspicion in Makarov's heart. He had never thought of it so deeply, "There is still someone secretly leading and commanding this team? Who is it? Stechkin? Brening? Isakov? Or Li Guowen? Or that looming American White? Of course, there is another possibility..."

"what?"

"Buldenko's ghost!" Makarov said it surprisingly calmly.

When Makarov mentioned the word "ghost", Tang Feng's eyes suddenly widened, "Ah—a ghost appeared again!" Tang Feng looked at Makarov in surprise, and suddenly turned around Turn around and look behind you and at the roof.

"Tang Feng, what are you doing?" Han Jiang shouted in a low voice.

"No...it's nothing, I feel trembling when I mention ghosts now. A ghost that doesn't hide a queen doesn't count, but a ghost of Burtenko pops up?!" Tang Feng felt that in this not so cold underground, There was even a chill on the back.

"Okay, let's forget about that ghost for now, let's talk about the people you mentioned just now, Stechkin, Brenning, and Isakov are all suspicious, and these three people will come later In a series of incidents, they all performed indistinctly on stage, but I think that after Buldenko's death, one of them seems not enough to lead and command this organization." Han Jiang analyzed.

"Could it be the three of them leading this organization together?" Tang Feng asked back.

"It's entirely possible!" Han Jiang said.

"As for Li Guowen..."

Makarov waved his hand, "Li Guowen is not qualified to lead so many students, and he has no financial or other support."

"Where is that American White?"

"He... this person is very suspicious, but we know too little about him." Makarov sighed softly.

"There is only Buldenko's ghost." Tang Feng sneered.

Makarov waved his hand again, "Ghost, those are all used to scare people. Buldenko is indeed dead. I collected his body for him. Even if he has problems, he will not be able to lead this team again." .”
