From morning to afternoon to night, Long Zhan, Dennis and Mitai stayed in the room, lifting a corner of the curtains to observe the Hong Merchant Gang's lair.
There are certain gains at the end of the day, but the value of these gains is not high.
From nightfall to 12 o'clock in the evening, Long Zhan felt that the people in the Xingshang Gang were almost asleep, and was about to start his touch-up operation.
"You continue to keep an eye on me here, and if anything happens, use the radio to contact me."
Long Zhan told Mitai to continue observing in the room, and took Dennis, who had already agreed during the day, to officially set off with the help of night vision goggles.
Mitai's radio equipment was provided by Longzhan.
It was originally prepared for the connector, but now that the connector has not been found, it is temporarily taken out for use.
"How about I go with you? The guys from the Hongshang Gang will turn into hibernating turtles at night, and there won't be much gained from staying here."
For Mitai, who makes a living by helping people kill people, checking locations, and collecting information, the temptation of a secret intrusion point that is very likely to exist is too great for him.
"Do you have this?" Long Zhan pointed to the night vision device on his helmet.
"How could I have it? I've seen this thing from a dealer. The price is ridiculously high. It's enough for me to eat and drink comfortably for a year." Mitai said in a sour tone.
"In order to prevent exposure, we were not allowed to use flashlights or torches or make too much noise, and we had to go indoors. It would be difficult to move without night vision devices. I think staying here is more suitable for you." Long Zhan refused without giving any face.
The second reason is that it is inconvenient to move without night vision goggles. The main reason is that the relationship between the two parties is not that close yet. Who knows what trouble Mitai will make during the operation.
Rather than taking this risk, it is definitely better not to take it and nip the hidden danger in the cradle.
"Well, good luck to you."
Mitai Lone Wolf has been able to keep up with the human spirit for such a long time. He knows that Long Zhan doesn't trust him, and there is nothing he can do about it. After all, the two parties have only known each other for less than a day.
Mitai was already very satisfied with Long Zhan being able to give him a slope to climb down. If he said more, he would be disrespectful.
Tarkov is particularly peaceful in the middle of the night. When candles have become a luxury item, facing a dark room, you have only one choice.
That’s sleep!
With the help of night vision goggles, Long Zhan and Dennis were able to shuttle between the ruins of buildings in the dark as quickly and steadily as if they were walking on flat ground.
It only took less than 5 minutes for the two of them to reach the outside of the old factory at the end of the cement road.
In fact, calling it a factory is a bit flattering. Strictly speaking, this factory, which covers an area of less than 400 square meters, can only be regarded as a processing workshop.
Long Zhan didn't know if anyone was guarding inside, so he chose the most cautious method.
That is, Dennis and I first did a 360-degree observation around the outside of the factory, and checked out all the points that could enter the factory.
】
It turned out that the factory building was so dilapidated that air leaked from all sides, and there were at least ten or twenty places where one could enter.
Through night vision goggles, through these tattered holes, the situation inside the factory can be clearly seen. Not to mention any guards or sentries, there is not even a shadow of a ghost inside, only three or two mice scurrying around.
"Did I guess wrong? This is just a dilapidated factory that no one wants. There is no mystery hidden in it?"
The factory building had not been repaired at all, and there was no sign of anyone moving inside, which made Long Zhan begin to doubt his own judgment.
If there were other places to check, Long Zhan would definitely leave without looking back.
But they came here for the first time. If they don't go in, they have no choice but to go back.
It's like a trip in vain.
"Since you've already come here, you definitely can't go back like this. No matter what, you have to go in and have a look. What if Fuma is playing a secret game? Wouldn't you be deceived by him?"
With the mentality of trying his luck, Long Zhan invited Dennis into the old factory.
The two of them walked around the factory building, checking everything they found suspicious. After spending more than ten minutes, they found nothing.
Faced with this result...
Long Zhan, who originally just came in to try his luck, not only did not leave because of this result, but he increasingly felt that there was something fishy hidden here.
If you want to talk about why I feel this way, the reason is that this place is too "clean".
The old factory is less than 200 meters away from the Hongshang Gang's home base, and there is a cement road in the middle. The internal space of the factory is also very large. Normally, people will come here, and it will not be unpopular no matter what.
The dust on various waste facilities in the factory has accumulated at least an inch thick.
Long Zhan thought there was only one possibility for keeping an old factory so nearby so that no one would come there for a long time.
That was Fuma, the boss of the Hongshang Gang, who personally issued a death order to all members of the gang, prohibiting any member from entering or even approaching the old factory.
Why does Fuma prohibit the gang members from approaching?
The answer is already obvious.
That is, there is an important secret hidden in this old factory. This secret is a tunnel related to Fuma's safety and must not be known to too many people.
Including your own subordinates, you must keep it as secret as possible.
"If it's as I guessed, then there must be a tunnel entrance in this old factory, but it's just too hidden and I couldn't find it."
Long Zhan thought of taking action immediately and told Dennis his guess.
The two began their second full-site search!
"The tunnel comes from underground, so it definitely needs a staircase to go down. But I have searched all over the factory and found no stairs to go down. How did Fuma get in and out without stairs?"
With this strong curiosity, Long Zhan was thinking about it but couldn't come up with a result when he suddenly saw a manhole cover.
It is placed openly and openly in the middle of the hall. At first glance, it looks very natural, not obtrusive at all, and has nothing to do with the word "secret".
During this search process, Long Zhan and Dennis walked over him no less than 10 times in total.
"The manhole cover must lead to the underground. Could this be the entrance to the tunnel? Foma deliberately used a psychological tactic to place the entrance in the most conspicuous position, so that people would inadvertently ignore it."
Long Zhan was not sure if there was an entrance under the manhole cover, so he thought for a moment and called Dennis over.
"The best way to determine whether it is an tunnel entrance is to go down and take a look, but..."
Dennis stopped as he spoke, and after a few seconds he said with a serious face: "I once witnessed someone finding such a manhole cover in the courtyard of a warehouse, and he was blown away when he pried it open.
"
"Damn it, is it so dirty?"
Long Zhan was shocked by Dennis' horror story, but he still had to go in.
