I have a headache. I'm not in good condition these past two days. I'm sorry - "The chief is here. Put away your gun and get out of the way so we can go in." Libengai urged as he probed the entrance of the cave.
"Which chief?" The soldier in the tunnel, known as Xibu, asked in confusion. He seemed to be very careful.
Hearing Xibu's questioning, Libengai was also shocked by the other party's ignorance of current affairs. "Great chief..." As soon as he said "chief..." Libengai secretly looked at Zhou Jiping who was following him closely.
After taking a glance, he saw that Zhou Jiping seemed to be paying attention to the team members who were coming after him, and then he lowered his voice and said to Xibu in the cave: "Which chief? It's Leopard Head! Come on, bring down the roadblock!" After saying this
After saying that, Li Bengai looked back at Zhou Jiping with a guilty conscience and saw that Zhou Jiping really didn't pay attention to him, and then he felt relieved.
In fact, during the conversation between Libengai and Xibu, Zhou Jiping heard every word of the nickname "Leopard Head" given to him. He had long known that he had been called away by various tribes in private, so he just returned it.
No one dared to mention it in front of him. In Zhou Jiping's opinion, since the natives are calling for smooth words and habits, then let them call them.
The entrance to the secret passage made a few clicks, and then Li Bengai turned around and said to Zhou Jiping: "Okay, we can enter, but the entrance is a bit narrow, everyone, please be careful." After that, Li Bengai took the lead and got in.
Because the sky was dark, and the firelight on the mountain was blocked by the bushes above, the area around the cave entrance looked very blurry. Even Zhou Jiping's night eyes couldn't see how far ahead Li Bengai felt the entrance of the cave with his hand and got in.
, Zhou Jiping also followed the example of a gourd and climbed out while holding on to the open door.
Holding the door with his hands, Zhou Jiping realized that the self-opening door was made of steel plates and cement, especially the cement side facing out. The cement was used to make pitted shapes on it, and then it was opened before the cement was dry.
The dirt on the hill is all over. Unless you touch the door with your hands, you won't be able to tell that this is the entrance to the cave by just looking at it with your eyes.
Leaning forward and crawling into the tunnel, there was a slight light on the opposite side of the straight tunnel, allowing Zhou Jiping to barely see what was going on in the tunnel.
It’s too narrow!! This was Zhou Jiping’s first feeling after climbing into the tunnel. The tunnel, which is built with reinforced concrete walls, is not only narrow, but also only about 1.45 meters high. People have to bend their waists to walk in the tunnel.
, otherwise you might come into close contact with the hard cement on the roof of the cave.
Tribes have unified architectural requirements for this kind of fortifications built in hills. Because the biggest function of this kind of fortifications is to store grain, each entrance is required to be relatively wide, striving to facilitate the entry and exit of people and materials. However, this passage is completely different from
The tribe's request was contrary to the requirements, which made Zhou Jiping a little surprised.
However, Zhou Jiping soon figured it out. He thought that this entrance was built halfway up the mountain, making it inconvenient for people to enter and exit, and the terrain was also very dangerous. It would be more suitable to be used as a combat fortification. He thought that this passage was intentionally made by the people of this tribe.
I just don’t know why they didn’t say hello to Soyo in advance.
Just after taking a few steps inside, Li Bengai suddenly turned around and reminded Zhou Jiping: "Great Chief, please lower your head. There is a baffle on it, don't touch it."
Only then did Zhou Jiping notice that, unlike other tunnels, there was a steel baffle above this tunnel to block his head. Although the steel plate did not take up much space, people must be extra careful when walking here.
Ji Ping lowered his head to avoid the steel plate, and said to Duka behind him: "Tell the back, be careful of the steel plate above..." Duka passed the words to the back, and the team members behind also walked over with their heads lowered.
After walking less than five meters, we were faced with a reinforced concrete wall with a square shooting hole on the wall. The light was emitted from there. This was the first line of defense for this type of fortification. Behind the wall, the tribe
With a gun in the hands of a soldier, ordinary enemies cannot attack at all. If the enemy attacks with heavy firepower, the tunnel entrance will most likely collapse. At that time, it will be even more troublesome for the enemy to come in. The people in the fortifications can rely on their storage in the fortifications.
With the supplies inside and enough ventilation holes all around, you can last for a long time in the underground fortifications.
Walking to the concrete wall and turning to the left, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. In front of them was a standard fortification passage, about two meters wide and high. Although people would still feel depressed walking in it, it was much better than the one where they had to bow their heads and bend down just now.
Feeling much better already
Everyone entered the cave safely, and the light in the tunnel was suddenly blocked by everyone. At this time, a dark figure flashed out from behind the wall. While talking to Li Bengai,
I followed the crowd towards the entrance of the tunnel and waited for a while, only to hear a "bang" sound. The black figure had closed the tunnel door.
Then, the black shadow quickly returned and returned behind the cement wall. With a "swish" sound, a light suddenly lit up in the dark tunnel. Although the light was not bright enough, everyone had already adapted to the darkness.
environment, so the light that suddenly came on made everyone squint their eyes a little hard to adapt.
There are power generation, storage and lighting equipment in the tunnel, but under normal circumstances the tribal warriors stationed at the underground fortifications are reluctant to use them. They usually only use lamps lit by animal fat to illuminate the current supreme king of the grassland, the leader of the Grassland Alliance.
When the great chief arrived, the tribal warrior named Xibu certainly thought it was time to turn on the lights.
"Great Chief, please come with me." Libengai politely led the way and walked deep into the fortification first. The soldier named Xibu who guarded the cave entrance stood at the door of his bunker, curious, excited and a little confused.
He looked shyly at these people who had just entered the cave.
"Thank you." When he passed by Xibu, Zhou Jiping smiled and said hello to the young tribal warrior, and at the same time pointed to the light on the side wall.
Hearing Zhou Jiping thanking him, Xibu was obviously stunned for a moment, then grinned happily and laughed silently. His white teeth were as white as pearls under the light.
Following Li Bengai as he walked into the fortification, Zhou Jiping asked without hesitation why the entrance was so narrow. Sure enough, Li Bengai's answer confirmed Zhou Jiping's guess that the entrance passage was indeed built this way on purpose.
This is just the beginning of building this passage, but it was not like this at the beginning.
