Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 231 001 Fortification
Chen Jian didn't understand what the other party meant by "Holy Father".

But really, it doesn't matter.

The door to the secret is right in front of you. Open it and all the mysteries may disappear.

Chen Jian walked towards the isolation door, and after observing carefully for a moment, he said:
"It's definitely not the entrance to Fortification 001."

"Mechanically locked isolation doors are a common design in underground nuclear fortifications."

"There is a lot of design margin, so it should be able to turn."

"Password required."

"Fuxi, password."

"clear."

Fu Xi's voice rang out in the headphones, and along with its incessant counting, Chen Jian and Lei Jie turned the heavy combination dial on the door.

What surprised Chen Jian a little was that the expected "friction sound of rusty metal" did not occur.

The combination dial turned quite smoothly, as if someone had tried to open the door not long ago.

Chen Jian turned his head and looked in the direction of the so-called "Holy Father". The latter nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the direction of the code disk.

6 code disks, over a trillion combinations.

Without knowing the password in advance, no one can crack it.

Fortunately, a series of password tables had already been stored in Fuxi's database.

After estimating based on the time information, on the sixth attempt, a heavy "click" sound was heard.

Then, the deadweight lock fell off and the isolation door slowly opened.

A stale smell gushed out from the deep space behind the door. Chen Jian held his breath and concentrated, then pushed the isolation door open completely.

Behind this door is another heavier triple-defense isolation door.

Same process, same actions.

When the triple-defense isolation door opened, Lei Jie couldn't wait to rush in.

However, there was nothing in there.

"aisle."

Lei Jie said in a deep voice:
“This is just a passage.”

"I guessed it already."

Chen Jian waved his hand calmly, then walked towards the passage first and gave the order:

"Keep going forward, this is not the entrance we are looking for."

"clear."

Everyone followed, and the Holy Father, who stayed at the end, hesitated briefly and then quickly walked to Chen Jian's side.

His expression was extremely heavy.

But in such heaviness, there is also a bit of indescribable expectation.

He seemed to want to ask a question, but after some mental struggle, he chose to remain silent.

Chen Jian didn't say anything either.

Although there are many questions that need to be answered by this so-called "Holy Father", now may not be the best time to ask them.

After walking along the passage for several hundred meters, the view in front of everyone suddenly became clear.

A main passage that was more than ten meters high appeared in front of him, and in the pit on the side wall of the passage, Chen Jian finally saw something familiar.

"DF-41."

Chen Jian took a deep breath, turned to Lei Jie and asked:
"Do you think this thing can still be useful?"

"Obviously, the ones stored here are useless - the warheads are not even loaded, and the rockets are rusted beyond recognition."

"It doesn't matter. Our goal was not missiles."

"It's enough to get the activation key. As for the warhead, Shen Yue will take care of it."

".I thought you would be disappointed."

Chen Jian said jokingly:
"I was prepared to help you drag a missile back. Maybe with 011's equipment, we really have a chance to repair it?"

"Repaired, then what?"

Lei Jie rolled his eyes and continued to ask:
"Where are we going? The mountain city?"

"If the mountain city is so strong that we need to destroy it with a nuclear bomb, then we should not destroy it."

"If it's not powerful enough, then we don't need nuclear bombs." "So this is actually a paradox."

"Perhaps this is also the reason why the 'unknown force' that controls the mountain city has never used nuclear bombs from beginning to end."

“Their ideas are the same as ours.”

"This judgment is based on the fact that there is indeed an 'unknown force' in the mountain city."

Chen Jian interrupted Lei Jie's narration, quickened his pace, and then continued:
“This is the most pessimistic speculation.”

"But I still think it's not a city that is 'actively closed'."

"Perhaps, there is indeed something special there that is beyond our knowledge, and we..."

“The mountain city is where the Holy Father once lived.”

Before Chen Jian could finish his words, a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“That’s where everything originated and where we will eventually belong.”

"Everything we do is just to help the Holy Father return to the mountain city and return to his throne."

“We came so close to this goal, but we fell short.”

"You mean, those mimic heretics?"

Chen Jian asked with a frown.

"The first Primarch."

The man corrected:
"They were expected to do well, but they failed."

"And after their failure, the Blood Skull was born."

"After that, it's us, the so-called Holy Bloods."

"It's a long story, and I can't tell you all of it here and now."

"But I can assure you that the existence of the Holy Blood has never been to compete for the resources and power of this land."

“We’re just trying to keep the flame going.”

After the man finished speaking, Chen Jian nodded thoughtfully and did not respond immediately.

In fact, he had heard the saying "the mountain city is the origin of everything" countless times.

The Ring Chamber of Commerce believes that the secret to restarting the Ring is hidden there, and the Mechanicus believes that it is the earthly paradise of the Holy Trinity. So it is not surprising that the Holy Blooders now believe that it is the residence of their Holy Father.

The only thing that surprised Chen Jian a little was that this "Holy Father" had a very clear understanding of himself and the Temple of the Holy Blood.

He never regarded himself as a god from the beginning to the end, nor did he seem to intend to deify himself.

This is completely different from the Mechanicus.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Basilica of the Sacred Blood cannot achieve the same cohesion as the Mechanicus?

Seeing that the wide tunnel was about to come to an end, Chen Jian took a look at the route displayed on the smart eyepiece and found that everyone had walked nearly 15 kilometers.

In the distance, the dim light gradually illuminated the cave.

They were already quite close to their final destination.

"There's a light."

Lei Jie said:
"There can't be any permanent lights in the nuclear shelter. We should be near Shelter 001."

"001 is indeed connected to the underground nuclear facility. It is very likely that the main control room of this nuclear facility will also be placed near the 001 facility."

"This saves us trouble."

"Just wait a moment."

Chen Jian suddenly interrupted Lei Jie.

Then, he switched the tactical flashlight to floodlight mode, pointed at the wall in the far corner and said:

“There’s writing on it.”

Lei Jie followed the direction Chen Jian pointed.

And on that wall, there were three lines of large characters engraved.

“The world is being filtered.”

“We took everything we needed.”

"For the future of humanity, we must light the fire."
