The airport was still the same as last night. The corpses of those demon rats and demon fire spiders were still there.
Of course, Xia Pingan would not waste these spoils of war. Starting from outside the airport, he collected the corpses of three demon fire spiders and eleven demon rats and put them all into the space-teleportation warehouse.
After collecting these demon corpses, Xia Pingan imagined Manzijin's image in his mind. The moment he closed his eyes, he immediately found Manzijin's figure with his long-distance vision ability. At this moment, Manzijin was in a grove of maple trees outside the barracks of the airport.
Dressed in a ghillie suit, Man Zijin let himself lie down under a pile of maple leaves and used the scope of his sniper rifle to look at the airport.
She was waiting for Zhang Tie to come back.
Xia Pingan detoured out of the barracks and directly ran towards the grove of maple trees.
A few seconds later, the walkie-talkie he carried with him rang.
"Sir, I see you. The emergency passage to the underground ammunition depot is in the grove of maple trees over 500 m to the east of you. I'm also in the grove of maple trees..." Manzijin's relieved voice sounded from the walkie-talkie.
"I see you too. I'll be there soon..." Xia Pingan replied as he quickly passed through the area between the barracks and the grove of maple trees and came to the grove of maple trees.
Manzijin climbed up from a pile of leaves and ran towards Zhang Tie happily with his sniper rifle.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
"The emergency passage to the underground ammunition depot is in the grove..." Manzijin said as he ran towards the grove with Xia Pingan.
The ground in the grove of maple trees was not very flat. There were some exposed rocks in many places. This place was already outside the military airport and was separated from the airport by an iron wire fence.
Ordinary people might not have imagined that there was an emergency passage to the underground ammunition depot in the grove near the barracks of the military airport.
This design was indeed ingenious.
Manzijin led Xia Pingan to a place with more rocks after walking hundreds of meters in the grove. Manzijin pointed at a huge maple tree in the grove and made a gesture towards it. Xia Pingan looked over and found a surveillance camera cleverly hidden in the tree hole above the huge maple tree. The camera was hidden in the tree hole and only the lens was facing this area of rocks.
A stone the size of a millstone suddenly opened up from a pile of rocks like a missile silo, revealing a dark hole under the stone. Shi Yunhao's head popped out from under the stone. With an expectant smile on his face, he waved at Xia Pingan and said, "Here..."
Xia Pingan and Man Zijin walked over. There was a passage inside the cave that led underground. The two of them entered the cave and went down about two meters. There was a small platform, and beside the small platform was a narrow passage. There was also a monitor that could see the situation outside, allowing people to see the situation outside from here.
Shi Yunhao pressed a switch, and the stone closed up again. Not a single ray of light from the outside could come in.
There was a dark red light inside the entrance, so it was not completely dark.
In the past few days in Xinchuan City, the entire city was pitch-black at night, without a single light, only those monsters were wandering around. Seeing the lights again, it felt really good, causing Xia Pingan's whole body to relax.
Shi Yunhao led Xia Pingan towards the narrow passage. The passage spiraled downward. After going more than twenty meters underground, a thick alloy safety door appeared in front of them. Shi Yunhao raised his head and glanced at the surveillance monitor above the safety door. The safety door was opened from the inside.
"The switches of all the doors here are inside. They can only be opened from the inside. They cannot be opened from the outside..." Shi Yunhao explained to Xia Pingan.
After entering the safety door, the safety door closed. There was a stairwell inside. Shi Yunhao opened the elevator door and entered it. There were only two buttons in the elevator shaft, one was B1, the other was B2. Shi Yunhao pressed B2, causing the elevator to rapidly descend. After descending for about one hundred meters, the light of B2 finally lit up. The elevator door opened. Walking out of the elevator door, they saw another narrow passage that was dozens of meters long with dark red light bulbs. At the end of the passage was another thick safety door with a surveillance monitor.
After opening the safety door, the three people entered inside. After the safety door closed, the dark red light finally disappeared. The light behind the safety door became brighter.
The moment Xia Pingan entered, a lot of soldiers immediately swarmed towards him and surrounded Xia Pingan. They all looked at him with excited eyes.
"Sir, is it our troops …?"
"Sir, how's Xinchuan City?"
"Sir, is the 87th Legion preparing to reopen the air force airport?"
"Sir..."
Xia Pingan was a priest of the legion. He was not a military officer. He only enjoyed the treatment of a military officer. Strictly speaking, it was inappropriate to call him "sir". In the past, this position was addressed as "Lord Priest". However, there was no such title anymore. These soldiers were used to calling people "sir". When they saw someone with a higher position than them, they would either address him as "sir" or "general". Since Xia Pingan was not a general, many of them were used to calling him "sir". This seemed to be more intimate.
These soldiers were too excited. They did not expect to see the priest of the 87th Legion here. Previously, when Shi Yunhao and Tao Yang said that they saw Xia Pingan outside, these soldiers did not believe it. Now that they saw him in person, they were indescribably excited.
"What are you all doing? It's such a mess. This is not a market. We are soldiers..." Shi Yunhao's face turned serious. He immediately shouted, "87th Legion, Qingfeng Air Force Airport Garrison Camp, Ammunition Depot Guard Squad, assemble!"
Upon hearing this, the warriors who had just gathered in a group immediately quivered and gathered in front of Xia Pingan. They stood in a neat row with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
"At ease..."
"Attention..."
"Count off..."
"1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10..."
The nine people standing in a row began to roar one after another.
Shi Yunhao was the one who reported the number 10. After shouting 10, Shi Yunhao turned around, stood at attention, and saluted Xia Pingan. Then, he said loudly, "The 87th Legion's Qingfeng Air Force Airport Garrison Camp's Ammunition Depot Guard Squad has 10 people on standby and 10 people on standby. No one is absent. Please inspect them, sir!"
Xia Pingan took a deep breath and nodded as he looked at the sincere and fervent faces and the eyes that flickered with the light of hope. "At ease …"
The ten people's movements were neat and uniform as they stood in front of Xia Pingan.
"Everyone asked me a lot of questions just now. I will answer your questions first..." Xia Pingan stood in front of all the soldiers in the guard squad and said, "The 87th Legion has been scattered. The situation is probably very bad now. I have been fighting those invading creatures in Xinchuan for the past few days. I have been trying to contact the 87th Legion, but I haven't been able to. Judging from the situation and signs, the Demonic Spirit Wave that appeared that night didn't just appear in Yizhou Province. It might be nationwide or even global. I haven't seen any aircraft or drones in Xinchuan for the past few days. Therefore, my preliminary judgment is that the Great Fire Country is probably in a state of anarchy and is very chaotic..."
The soldiers standing in a row immediately tensed up. Many of them looked at each other in dismay. Some of them even clenched their teeth tightly.
"Because the people standing in front of me are the strongest and bravest soldiers of the Great Fire Country. You are a group of soldiers who are still guarding the ammunition depot in a desperate situation, guarding the hope of the 87th Legion to counterattack. Therefore, I feel that I can't lie to you. I have to tell you the actual situation outside. I'm not here to represent the legion or anyone else. I'm only here to represent myself!"
Xia Pingan's gaze swept across the faces of the soldiers. "Your defense here is meaningful. If you didn't defend this place, this ammunition depot might not exist anymore. The reason I'm here is to find powerful weapons.
Those Magic Fire Spiders and Magic Liquid Spiders had built a huge nest in the largest underground shelter in Xinchuan City. They laid a lot of eggs in the nest, hundreds of thousands of them. Moreover, they had stored the corpses of many brothers of the 87th Regiment as well as the corpses of the dead Xinchuan citizens in the nest. They wanted to use those corpses as food for the eggs to hatch.
I need bombs. The more powerful the bombs, the better. I want to bring the bombs back to Xinchuan City and use them to destroy those monster nests. I want those monsters to accompany our brothers of the 87th Legion and the fallen Xinchuan citizens. "
Hearing Xia Pingan's words, the soldiers standing in front of him all clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth. Their faces became resolute.
The situation outside made their hearts sink to the bottom of the valley. However, after knowing that the bombs in the ammunition depot they were guarding could destroy the monster nests in Xinchuan City, the blood in their hearts surged.
As long as the things in the ammunition depot were effective and could turn those monsters into ashes, they wouldn't have stayed here in vain. Their perseverance here would have meaning and value.
"Sir, we don't have a lot of other things in the ammunition depot, but we definitely have enough bombs of all kinds. We have a batch of the latest thermobaric bombs, thermobaric bombs, and thermite bombs stored here. We also have a lot of other weapons and bombs!" Shi Yunhao said loudly.
"How many do we have?" Xia Pingan asked.
"If it's only thermobaric bombs, thermobaric bombs, and thermite bombs, the amount of ammunition stored in this depot is enough to blow up Xinchuan City into ruins..."
