The next morning, after washing up, Xiao Yu headed towards the exit of the resort village. When he reached the parking lot, Wang Haiyang was waiting there.
He had received instructions from the family patriarch to be on standby at all times for Xiao Yu’s transportation needs. Thus, he spent the night in his car to ensure that he would be available when needed.
"Xiao Yu, over here!" When Wang Haiyang spotted Xiao Yu approaching, he waved at him.
Upon seeing Wang Haiyang, Xiao Yu walked towards him.
Xiao Yu got into Wang Haiyang’s car and headed toward Chuanzhong City. As soon as their vehicle entered the city, Xiao Yu asked Wang Haiyang to pull over.
After waiting for Wang Haiyang's car to leave, Xiao Yu hailed a taxi towards the construction site. Upon arriving there, all equipment was already set up, and even excavators were operational, beginning their work.
The soldiers surrounding the area quickly informed those inside when they saw Xiao Yu arrive. Although Xiao Yu had been here yesterday, whether he could enter today depended on the opinion of the military leaders present; hence, these soldiers rushed to notify their superiors upon seeing him.
Xiao Yu stood there patiently without rushing, waiting calmly for a response. Soon, one of those soldiers returned with Colonel Zhang, whom Xiao Yu had met in the operations room before.
"Hello Commander Xiao! Commander Zhang requests your presence!"
Upon arriving here, this colonel saluted Xiao Yu and informed him respectfully. Although Xiao Yu was young and unknown to most people, General Zhang Dahai from the Central Military Commission treated him with utmost courtesy, leaving no room for the colonel to be casual.
Xiao Yu nodded and followed the colonel towards the construction site.
When he reached the highway where work was underway, Zhang Dahai and others were standing by, observing carefully.
"Third Brother, you've arrived!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu approach, Zhang Dahai finally turned his gaze from the ongoing work to greet him.
"Yes, Big Brother. How is it going" In response to Zhang Dahai's words, Xiao Yu nodded and looked toward the construction site as well.
The excavator has already dug more than two meters deep. Xiao Yu looked at where the excavator was digging and couldn't help nodding his head. Although this position wasn’t exactly accurate, it wouldn’t affect anything much either. Therefore, he let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu and his team had been standing beside watching while the two excavators were digging deeper pits.
"Thump" When the excavator was digging soil suddenly, a dull sound came from underground.
Hearing this sound, Zhang Dahai hurriedly gestured to the person on the excavator. The driver of the excavator also felt that it had hit something hard and stopped immediately.
After the excavator stopped, both Zhang Dahai and Xiao Yu jumped into the pit. After they removed the soil, a concrete slab was revealed while there were still some loose soil nearby.
Xiao Yu and Zhang Dahai flipped up from the ground after seeing this situation. Wang Junzhang and others couldn’t help but feel surprised when they saw their skills. Just judging by these two men’s moves alone, it was much better than his special forces unit. This made him extremely astonished.
"General Wang, organize people to start manual digging! Clear out this place!" Zhang Dahai told General Wang standing beside the pit after he jumped up from the ground.
“Yes!” Upon hearing Zhang Dahai’s words, General Wang stood straight and replied. Although General Wang was a high-ranking officer with real power, for someone from Beijing like Zhang Dahai, at least some formality should be observed.
General Wang turned to the soldiers standing around the pit and shouted. Hearing his command, all the soldiers took out their entrenching tools and jumped into the pit to start digging along the concrete edge.
With over thirty military personnel taking turns, it only took about an hour before they had cleared out this entrance.
After they were done clearing up, Xiao Yu and his team also jumped in. At this point, a stone door was revealed here, fitting perfectly with the thick concrete wall.
Xiao Yu touched this stone door. He knew that it was actually a huge piece of rock sealed there. This kind of stone door is called the ‘Dragon Severing Stone’ in ancient times.
"Use a cutter to cut open this stone door!" Xiao Yu said after touching the stone door.
Upon hearing what Xiao Yu said, Zhang Dahai also put his hand on the stone door and tapped it with his fingers. He nodded in agreement as he could feel that this stone door was at least 20 centimeters thick when he tapped it just now. Given such a large scale of this gate, this stone door must weigh several thousand catties, making the only solution to use a cutter.
Soon, the stone door was cut thinner and thinner by the cutter. After more than two hours of cutting, this stone door had become very thin.
"All of you go and put on protective suits!" As Zhang Dahan saw the stone door about to be cut open, he instructed those soldiers standing by.
The moment he saw that map, he had a rough idea of what this place was. So when he noticed the door being sliced through, he gave these instructions to the soldiers.
Soon enough, these soldiers put on their protective suits, and Zhang Dahan’s group also got one each set. Considering no one knew what conditions were like inside, if there happened to be bio-weapons that were damaged, it would become a matter of life and death.
Xiao Yu might know the situation inside, but he didn’t object to putting on protective gear either.
Quickly, this stone door was cut with a cutting machine, leaving a hole as big as a fist. Xiao Yu walked over when he saw it and took off his protective suit’s helmet to smell around the hole.
"Third Brother, be careful!" When Zhang Dahan noticed Xiao Yu take off his helmet and walk up to this hole, he immediately shouted out to him.
"Big Brother, I’m fine. Don’t you remember what I do" Upon hearing Zhang Dahan’s words, Xiao Yu smiled lightly at the visibly tense Zhang Dahan and spoke.
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhang Dahan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. What Xiao Yu said was correct; he shouldn't be worried about him. Back then when they had been poisoned to such an extent, even that could have been cured by Xiao Yu. So there should not be any big problems here.
Actually, Xiao Yu knew that nothing had leaked out here. He just walked up and pretended for the sake of appearances.
"Open the door! It’s fine!" After smelling around this hole, Xiao Yu turned to those soldiers and said.
The soldiers might know that Xiao Yu was a leader, but they wouldn’t listen to him. Instead, they looked at Wang Jun (the Commander-in-Chief), as he was their actual leader. Even though Xiao Yu’s group came from the capital city, it had nothing to do with them.
After all, soldiers only follow orders from their own leaders and national leaders. As for other people's commands, unless there were documents presented, no one would listen.
"Open it!" When Wang Jun saw these soldiers looking at him, he nodded to them and said.
The moment the soldiers heard Wang Jun’s words, they responded with a nod before getting straight to work. In just a short while, this large door was completely opened up.
When this big door opened, a cold draft blew out from inside. This cold wind hit Zhang Dahan and his group, causing them involuntarily shiver as their body hair bristled up, and a sudden chill ran down their spines.
Gazing at the dark hole before them, no one took a step forward. This opening seemed like a monster ready to devour anyone who approached it, causing unease in everyone's hearts.
Moreover, besides the chill emanating from this entrance, there was also an overwhelming stench of decay. The foul odor made Zhang Dahai and his companions feel nauseous; thus, none dared enter. This base had been sealed for decades. If they entered suddenly, it would be very likely that they wouldn't survive inside.
General Wang whispered a few words to one of the soldiers beside him. The soldier then ran out quickly. Zhang Dahai and his companions didn’t enter either; they waited for some time before entering.
About an hour later, the soldier General Wang ordered ran back carrying a live chicken with a long rope tied around its leg.
Seeing this soldier return, General Wang nodded at him.
The soldier understood General Wang’s intention upon seeing his expression. Thus, after reaching the dark entrance, he threw the live chicken inside.
About ten minutes later, the soldier pulled out the chicken. Seeing that it was still lively and jumping around, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had waited an hour before entering; otherwise, none would have survived in this environment where hundreds of corpses were rotting, emitting toxic gases.
Furthermore, this place was a breeding ground for ghosts with intense yin energy, which had been accumulating over several decades. If they had entered right after the entrance opened, it's likely that they would have succumbed to the dense yin energy and died.
Although an hour of dissipation reduced much of this yin energy, compared to ordinary places, this area was still heavily saturated with it. Even if these soldiers were in peak physical condition, entering and exiting this place once would definitely cause them serious illness.
"Xiao Wang, go get the searchlight!"
"Xiao Liu, bring those lighting devices over!"
General Wang frowned at the dark entrance before him. He called out to two soldiers in front of him.
The faces of these two soldiers revealed a hint of worry upon hearing General Wang's words; they were his communicators and also served as guards, so both of them being sent away made them anxious about General Wang’s safety.
