Chapter 186 "Underground Boat"
There are still some guests in the hotel camp, who should be smugglers and relic hunters, but Jiang Baimian is not in a hurry to contact them, after all, the place is not familiar, and vigilance is popular here, and the other party may not be willing to communicate, and maybe there will be some bad misunderstandings because of this.
Therefore, after telling the beginning of the story of the old world, Jiang Baimian asked everyone to go back to their own rooms to recuperate.
Early the next morning, they had a simple breakfast, drove the old man, and followed the road outside the park to the lakeside.
There was already a gray car that was very "harmonious" with the environment, and there was a person with a tulle cloth covering his head inside.
Although Jiang Baimian knew that this was a custom of the Red Stone Collection brought by the Vigilant Sect, he still felt strange when he saw such a scene.
At this time, a lyric came out of Shang Jianyao's beloved small speaker:
"I'm going to bomb the school......"
"Stop! Turn it off, it's time to work." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, looked ahead and gave an order.
As they approached, the hooded man rolled down the window and shouted:
"Follow me!"
"Why?" Shang Jianyao responded without showing weakness.
The person with the hood was stunned:
"Didn't the bishop ask you to come?"
"Vigilance will always live!" Shang Jianyao shouted the slogan "long-planned plan".
The person with the hood was dumbfounded and didn't know how to persuade the other party for a while, but he was unwilling to give up and went back to ask Bishop Renato to come over.
Long Yuehong in the jeep had to admit that when Shang Jianyao's target was not himself, the "laughing fruit" he created was quite good.
Jiang Baimian decided not to tolerate Shang Jianyao's foolishness, opened the car window, and shouted:
"Lead the way!"
The townspeople of Hongshiji, who were wearing tulle hoods, breathed a sigh of relief and started the car.
Along the lakeside road, they drove towards the mountains on the edge of the city's ruins.
The road on the way seemed to have been repaired, without too many potholes and various obstacles, and after nearly twenty minutes, they left the "city" and came to a fortress-like two-story building.
Wearing a black cloak and a black mask on a white background, Renato stood on the balcony on the second floor of the "fortress" and said to Bai Chen and the others:
"Please come in."
"The data characteristics match, and the preliminary judgment is that there is no substitution, it is still the same as last night." Jiang Baimian compared the content recorded in the auxiliary chip and said.
In this place where everyone doesn't like to show her face, she can only judge whether she is a target by recording physical characteristics, voice characteristics, and electrical signal data.
——Electrical signals cannot exist as unique identifiers such as fingerprints and iris, but each person's physical condition, exercise habits, etc., electrical signals may still be different.
After being confirmed by Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others pushed the door and got out of the car, followed the "guide" wearing a tulle hood into the gray and white "fortress" that looked very strong.
At this time, Renato had already come down from the second floor and was waiting for them in the lobby.
"This is your church?" Jiang Baimian looked around with interest.
The heavy use of red here gives the impression that it is dangerous and must be vigilant.
Mixed with red is golden yellow, as if representing some kind of sacredness.
On the deepest wall of the hall was painted a huge symbol, it was a white door, the door was half closed, and the back was dark, hiding a looming female figure.
"The above-ground part is." Renato said truthfully.
"And the underground part?" Jiang Baimian asked.
She doesn't mind being seen as the leader of the team.
Because in this way, if there is any surprise, she will be the first to attack, and she asks herself to have a faster reaction speed and a higher probability of survival than the other members, including Shang Jianyao.
At this time, Shang Jianyao was muttering to himself:
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Obviously, he was talking about the color scheme here.
However, he did not raise his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.
This made Jiang Baimian suspect that he was missing his friend Xiao Chong - this suspected "king of the heartless" has a set of tomato scrambled egg color schemes.
Renato answered Jiang Baimian's question just now:
"The underground part may be ten times larger than the above-ground part and belongs to Mr. DiMarco."
"Ten times? Was this repaired after the destruction of the old world, or did it already exist?" Bai Chen asked on behalf of the others in the "Old Tune Group".
Renato explained simply:
"Mr. DiMarco's ancestors were eschatological enthusiasts who believed that disaster would eventually befall the earth.
"He spent a lot of money, hired special personnel, and spent many years to finally build an underground shelter that was enough to support hundreds of people, which is said to have ten floors.
"He himself did not have access to this shelter, but he left a gospel for his descendants. Mr. Dimarco's great-grandfather relied on this refuge to successfully escape the war of the destruction and chaos of the old world."
Hearing this, Long Yuehong felt inexplicably relieved:
It turns out that many people in the old world have a sense of crisis and build underground shelters in advance...... Well, it's a little too big......
Renato's narration has not stopped:
"After that, before his death, he took refuge in our lord 'Yougu' and leased the earthly part to our sect permanently.
"With this church, we have gained a firm foothold in Redstone Collection."
Speaking of this, Renato couldn't help but praise:
"Vigilance is God's prompting!"
"You speak awesome in gray language." Shang Jianyao praised.
Renato smiled:
"More than half of the people in Redstone speak gray soil."
"That's right......" Jiang Baimian asked instead, "Is Mr. DiMarco a townsman of Hongshiji?"
She became quite interested in the DiMarco family.
——The family that has been passed down since before the destruction of the old world may have some important information.
"Yes, he is the honorary mayor." Renato explained simply, "The original Redstone Collection was because Mr. Dimarco's great-grandfather and grandfather exchanged supplies, attracting a group of merchants and wilderness wanderers. If it weren't for Mr. DiMarco's unwillingness to leave his 'underground boat', he would definitely be the real mayor now."
"Mr. Dimarco hasn't been on the ground?" Bai Chen didn't expect that in addition to the employees of "Pangu Biotech", there were such people in other places.
"Not only is he unwilling to go to the surface, but he also does not allow others to enter the 'underground boat', except that he will take in slaves once a year. But those servants will also be inspected and trained for at least half a year on the top floor of the 'underground boat', which is really vigilant!" Renato sincerely admired, "If it weren't for asking you to come here for help this time, no one would have taken the initiative to give you Mr. DiMarco."
If he hadn't been able to enter the "underground boat", he might have wanted to personally award Dimarco a "Pious" medal.
"Who is responsible for the Dimarco family's foreign transactions?" Jiang Baimian asked.
"Mr. Dimarco's three housekeepers are each responsible for a part." Renato pointed to an elevator at the edge of the hall, "Let's go to the place where Mass is held."
When he was talking to the four members of the "Old Tune Group", there was not a single believer in the entire hall, and even the man who had led the way before did not know where he had hidden.
This makes the church seem extremely quiet, empty and terrifying.
Of course, Jiang Baimian and the others could find that many key locations were hidden.
Entering the elevator, Renato pressed the minus one button.
"Didn't you say that the underground part belonged to Mr. Dimarco?" Bai Chen asked keenly.
Renato said "Hmm":
"This floor actually belongs to the separation area between the 'underground boat' and the above-ground building.
"When Mr. Dimarco is not training and inspecting the servants at this level, he will lend us a mass."
Shang Jianyao immediately asked:
"This floor is suitable for hide and seek?"
"Hiding ritual." Renato emphasized.
As he spoke, the elevator had finished going down and opened the door.
In front of it is a small hall with multiple passages leading to different places.
Wearing a black mask on a white background, Renato continued:
"It's big, with many rooms, many corridors, and it's a good place to hide.
"If we weren't here, we might have set aside an area for Mass in the ruins of the city, which would be even harder to find."
Bai Chen looked around and said:
"Take us around first, it's best not to miss anything."
After exploring the site, we can talk about what the subsequent remuneration will be.
"Okay." Renato did not hesitate and took the "Money White Squad" into the first passage on the right.
This should be a planned area for people to live in, with many rooms of the same size, with old single beds, double beds, high and low beds, and various cabinets and chairs.
"I've already found all the places I can find." Renato emphasized while leading the way, "During Mass, we also send people to guard the entrances and exits of elevators and stairs."
"We will not blindly believe!" Shang Jianyao waited for a long time and finally waited for this opportunity.
This blocked Renato speechless.
Bai Chen, who temporarily transformed into the protagonist of the scene, had to help add:
"The previous search process can only be a reference, otherwise it will interfere with our judgment and miss some important points."
Renato expressed his understanding and praised:
"Professional."
At this time, Jiang Baimian frowned invisibly, looked at the corner at the end of the corridor and said:
"Let's move on."
No one objected.
As they walked, Shang Jianyao and Renato simultaneously set their sights into the air at the corner in front of them.
That's the ceiling.
"Who's on top?" Renato quickened his pace and asked loudly.
Soon, the fence of the ceiling vent moved away and a person jumped down.
This is a half-grown boy, fifteen or sixteen years old, with yellow hair soft on the top of his head, and green eyes with a pleasant glow.
He was just over 1.6 meters tall and looked at Renato, showing a harmless smile:
"Good morning, Your Excellency."
He spoke the Red River language.
Renato's voice sank, and he replied in Red River Language:
"Vier, where did you hide before?"
