Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 25: Exploration of the Secret Service Vault

The two chatted in the tavern, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while. Yan Bugui mainly talked, and Ma Qing listened. From the Soviet Union's industrial aid to the Soviet Union's request for a long-wave radio station and the establishment of a joint fleet, to the Sino-Soviet deterioration and the state's repayment, from last year's big pot meal to natural disasters, from man-made disasters to natural disasters, both of them felt that the next few years would be difficult, and some had to endure it.

Ma Qing also heard a lot of stories about the period before liberation. The sun set and the moon rose, and Ma Qing and Yan Bugui drank until dark. Of course, they didn't drink much. Nowadays, the main purpose of a tavern is to kill time, brag and chat. There is not enough wine to drink.

After the two returned to the courtyard, they went their separate ways. Ma Qing had some ideas about the next plan for finding supplies. It was not in vain that he invited Yan Bugui to drink. Ma Qing had some understanding of the original urban planning of Sijiu City. Ma Qing opened Xiao Qi's database and found the map of Sijiu City. He found the three spy gathering places: Dongchang Hutong, Gongxian Hutong, and Fuxue Hutong. He planned to try his luck in these three places, which was better than running around all over Sijiu City.

In the following days, Ma Qing went to Dongchang Hutong, Gongxian Hutong and Fuxue Hutong, but was greatly disappointed. These three places were quite close to Nanluoguxiang, but there was not a single hair there. The wine he invited Yan Bugui to was completely in vain. Ma Qing had to use a stupid method, expanding outward in a spiral, looking for the spy's warehouse bit by bit.

Two weeks later, Ma Qing went for a morning run to the Anzhenmen area under the pretext of exercising as usual. Ma Qing was jogging along the moat when he was stopped by Xiao Qi. "There is a secret passage beside the riverbank. There is a metal reaction in the scan. There should be guns, bullets and other supplies. Wait a moment, I will show you the 3D model of the secret passage." An incomplete model of a cave appeared in Ma Qing's mind. Ma Qing looked down the riverbank based on the model and saw a sewage outlet beside the riverbank of the moat. A person should be able to get in, but there were people coming and going on the river, so Ma Qing had to remember this location. It seemed that he could only come at night.

Ma Qing was absent-minded in the classroom all day long. He deduced over and over again in his mind. His anxious mood forced Ma Qing to make up his mind to take action tonight.

After school in the afternoon, after finishing his meal, he played with two childhood friends in the Nanluoguxiang area. When it was getting dark, he found an excuse to leave. When Ma Qing reached the Anzhenmen moat, it was already completely dark. After finding the sewage outlet and making sure that there was no one around, Ma Qing opened the space door and called out the robots. Several robots made into steps, and Ma Qing climbed over the fence of the river bank and walked comfortably to the sewage outlet. A foul smell hit him in the face. Ma Qing took out the towel he had prepared long ago, covered his mouth and nose, bent down and got in.

Ma Qing bent over and walked forward about 3 meters. He took out a flashlight and shone it above his head. The upper part of the sewage channel was covered with moss. Ma Qing put the flashlight in his mouth and pushed up with both hands. An arched stone was pushed up. This stone was quite interesting. It had only a thin layer, but there was thick wood behind it, otherwise Ma Qing would not be able to lift it. He put the stone on the upper passage, straightened up, and crawled into the secret passage. After entering the secret passage, Ma Qing scraped off the moss on the stone. There was a palm print left when he exerted force just now. After eliminating the trace, Ma Qing put the stone back in place and walked straight along the passage. There were two rifles and several bullets scattered in the passage.

"That's it, Brother Xiaoqi. These two guns and a few bullets are of no use. It's worth coming here."

"Shut up. The scanning distance is limited. There are guns and bullets in this secret passage. They are probably left behind by the spies when they escaped. The passage is still long. Can't you keep going inside? There is probably a dark room."

Ma Qing continued to walk inward for about 30 meters. Judging from the distance, he should have entered the residential area from the river.

Under the light of the flashlight, Ma Qing bent down and entered a dark room. He looked around. The whole dark room was about 1.8 meters high and 5X5 meters long. There was a 1-meter thick pillar in the middle. The floor, walls, and ceiling were covered with moisture-proof square bricks.

Opposite the passage we came from, there was another passage. The ground around the walls was filled with ammunition boxes like those in movies. Ma Qing released the robot to carry and count them. There were 150 rifles, 10 pistols, 5 mortars, 50 shells, 5 light machine guns, 10 submachine guns, more than 8000 rounds of various bullets, 3 boxes of grenades, 2 boxes of explosives, and 3 radio stations. It was completely equipped for a reinforced company. In addition, there were 500 silver dollars, 10 small yellow croakers, and 5 large yellow croakers.

Ma Qinggang took the pistol in his hand and played with it. When he asked Xiaoqi how to turn on the safety, Xiaoqi sounded an alarm in his mind, "Please pay attention. Someone has entered the scanning range above your head."

Ma Qing panicked for a moment, "How could this happen? Is there someone guarding this secret vault?"

"It's the 10th anniversary of the National Day, so someone should be causing trouble, that's normal." "Normal, what am I going to do now?"

"You have two choices. One is to run away now. There is still time. The other is to deal with the two people who are coming down. I scanned the darkroom when I entered it just now. There is no trap. So the two people up there are not here because you entered the darkroom. It's just a coincidence. Also, according to the 3D model built by the scan, another passage in this darkroom should be connected to a well, but this passage is now full of soil and should have been buried. These two people need to do earthwork excavation to get in. According to calculations, it will take at least an hour to get in. You are lucky."

"Then let's go. We have got the things anyway." Ma Qing said timidly.

"That's fine. It's your business anyway."

"Seventh Brother, what you said seems to have a purpose. I always feel like something is wrong."

"You think too much. I'm just stating a fact."

"Now that you've said that, as a Chinese, can I still leave? Just tell me what to do."

"I can't harm intelligent life. I can only provide you with some convenience. You have to use your own brain to figure out how to do it."

Ma Qing directly opened the space door and went in. Ma Qing directly asked Xiao Qi: "How to use this gun? Is it too late to practice now? If I shoot in the space now, will the sound of the gun be heard?"

"Colt M1911: The Colt M1911 is an automatic pistol widely used by the United States during World War II. It uses .1911 caliber bullets and has reliability, accuracy and lethality. The Colt M45 pistol was widely used by the US Army and the Allied Forces and became one of the iconic weapons of the US Army. The magazine capacity is 1911 rounds, and the recoil is slightly large. It is recommended that you hold the gun with both hands."

"The safety mechanism of M1911 includes manual safety, grip safety and half-cock safety. The manual safety button is located on the upper rear left side of the pistol body. Push the safety button upwards and the grip safety will automatically be in the safety position. Only when the thumb and the thumb press the grip safety tightly, the grip safety convex teeth will disengage from the trigger rod. At this time, the trigger rod can move freely backwards and the trigger can be pulled into place." Xiao Qi patiently explained to Ma Qing.

While teaching Ma Qing how to shoot, Xiao Qi said, "You can practice as much as you want in this space. There are plenty of bullets. But if you think you can become a qualified shooter right away, then you are totally overthinking. I suggest that when your opponent digs a passage, find a good position for a sneak attack and shoot at close range. At this time, as long as you can overcome your psychological problems, it will be easy to kill your opponent."
