If there is any similarity between this place and the refuge in the last days, it is probably that it will not save any living people.
The swastika symbol was frozen in ice crystals, like being locked in a coffin. An iron gate about five or six meters wide stood at the corner of the stone wall, and only a crack on the upper edge remained buried by the snow.
No matter how you think about it, it is unlikely that there are living people here.
"There must be something wrong... Tell me, boss, we are now in the Alps in the northern hemisphere, not at the southernmost tip of the earth." Looking at the swastika flag, a soldier whispered on the communication channel.
Garrett's eyes widened too, looking at the sign on the door in disbelief. He had heard about the Nazis and the Antarctic shelter, but he never really took that story seriously. It's just that what he saw in front of him subverted his three views.
"Treasure hunting, about the treasures of the Third Reich." After getting off the polar car, Jiang Chen opened the communication screen and said with a smile.
After a while, Garrett came up with a word.
"How can this be."
"However, this is the truth." Jiang Chen shrugged. "Besides, it's getting late. If you don't want to stay here for too long, let's start working quickly."
Although there were a lot of questions in his mind, Garrett swallowed the questions back.
Back at the car, he and several soldiers took out the engineering shovel, and with the help of the mechanical exoskeleton, they swung the shovel on the ground like a windmill, and quickly dug out a hole in the steel-hard ice. .
"About half a meter thick," Garrett wiped the snow slag off his face, and touched the iron door with a saber shovel, white mist drifting from his mouth, "It might be a meter...Damn it, this door It has been frozen so that it doesn’t look like steel.”
"What is that like?"
"Like a rock."
Leaning against the polar car, Jiang Chen smiled.
The strong wind was still howling, and there was not much time left for everyone.
There were no keyholes or handles on the door, and it seemed that it was not intended to be opened after it was closed.
Facing the iron gate embedded in the glacier, Jiang Chen ordered to use the most primitive method——
blasting.
That's right, go straight to the explosives. Although there is a risk of causing an avalanche, this is undoubtedly the fastest and safest method. And as long as the amount of explosives is well controlled, this risk should be minimized.
Garrett assured him so. Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is not inexperienced in the use of bombs. But to be honest, he didn't know much about using this thing in a icy and snowy environment.
Considering the amount of explosives to be used and the angle of the explosion, Garrett attached the strip bomb to the iron gate of unknown thickness. He gestured to the comrade beside him, and then he pressed the switch.
The flames flickered, the sound of the explosion was drowned in the wind and snow, and the heavy door panel was blown inside.
Fortunately, no avalanche was caused.
The dark archway leads all the way to the depths of the snow-capped mountains, and even with a flashlight, the bottom cannot be seen. The inside exudes a stale smell, which makes people wonder if there is any air in it for living things.
The soldiers of the Sea Lion Special Forces got ready for battle, took off the combat equipment from the polar vehicle, activated the retinal imaging in the nanochip, and set up a fighting posture at the door.
Garrett gestured to the soldier next to him. The soldier nodded, tapped the touch screen on his arm, and activated the drone hive behind the polar vehicle.
With searchlights on, hummingbirds rushed into the dark bunker first. The tactical camera directly feeds back the situation in the bunker on the retina. Jiang Chen didn't implant a nanochip, so he turned on the holographic image on the watch.
"The air content is normal? It's really an accident... No mechanism traps were found, and no living people were found... Do you want to enter?" Garrett asked.
"Get ready to enter. Before that, drag our car inside the door, don't bury it outside. Garrett will follow me, and the rest will guard the door."
"yes!"
When the order was issued, the special forces of Sea Lions immediately moved, reversed the two polar vehicles into the dark archway, and guarded the door.
Although they are guards, they are the only ones here, not even a penguin can be seen. The reason why all the soldiers were left at the door was that Jiang Chen didn't want to expose too much information to ordinary people. As for Garrett, Jiang Chen was confident that he could not betray him. After all, he was able to stand here because of the titanium alloy bone he replaced for him.
Just like that, the two of them walked down the dark archway one after the other. Garrett took over the control of the drone and turned off the camera permissions of ordinary soldiers at Jiang Chen's request.
"I always feel that it's too quiet here." Garrett held his rifle and scanned the dark corner cautiously.
"Otherwise? I didn't expect to meet living people here, very few people can live for as long as a century." Walking behind, Jiang Chen confirmed the structure of the bunker in the code book through his watch. Figure, while responding casually.
There have always been many theories about the ultimate whereabouts of the head of state. Before coming, Jiang Chen checked relevant information.
1943 was a turning point on the Eastern Front. The Battle of Kursk ended and the Italian campaign was in full swing. The originally strong Germany fell into the abyss of rapid collapse. It was also from that year that the oratorial genius never made any speeches again.
Some people said that he was indeed dead, and was burnt to ashes by a full 20l of gasoline together with his mistress Eva. It is also said that he traveled to South America in a U-shaped submarine and died in a small town in Argentina that sympathized with the Nazis. It is also said that he went to the Antarctic, taking more than 200 scientists who disappeared, and thousands of SS soldiers who were loyal to him.
The first statement is accepted by the mainstream view, while the latter two have a hint of conspiracy theory. But since there are both golden apples and codebooks, what else is impossible? In short, there may be anything behind this door. Even if he encounters the black technology of the 22nd century, or even something he has never seen before, Jiang Chen is mentally prepared.
But unfortunately, he seems to have walked smoothly along the way, and the expected traps and traps did not appear. On both sides of the archway can be seen a number of side doors, some of which are living spaces and others are garages. There are tools parked inside, construction vehicles, and even tracked combat vehicles...
But although the living facilities are complete, it doesn't look like there are traces of someone living.
The archway ended in a staircase, from which there was no signal from outside.
Garrett turned around and exchanged glances with Jiang Chen, and after receiving instructions from the latter to move forward, he transferred the drone's terminal from the drone hive outside to the drone backpack behind him.
It was still the drone that explored the way first, and then the two went down the stairs one after the other.
At the end of the stairs, there is a password door. However, it was obvious that the power system here had already collapsed, so Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about the password anymore. He just asked Garrett to start preparing for the blasting work, and returned to the stairs by himself.
But when he exploded the password, there were two explosions.
A sound came from below, and Garrett successfully blasted the password door.
And the other sound seemed to come from outside... (To be continued.)
