Chapter 120: The Red Clothed Female Army (Part 2)
It's really a good fit. Although the previous owner was a woman, when I wear it, it fits me perfectly, just like it was made for me.
So when I easily picked up a wooden box and followed a team of red-clothed female soldiers carrying the same boxes into the depths of the tunnel, no one suspected me. This gave me enough time to observe everything here.
I see that on both sides of this tunnel are small rooms like places, which seem to be residential areas for people here. Moreover, I also found that there are no other personnel here except warriors. It seems that this is the location of the Red Dress Woman Organization's underground army.
I followed a team of soldiers carrying wooden boxes to another fork next to the tunnel, and then saw many identical wooden boxes neatly placed there. I saw those soldiers pile up the boxes one by one, so I also went forward to help pile up the boxes, and when no one noticed, quietly hid behind the piles of boxes.
Behind the box was a boundless expanse of boxes, and I had no idea what kind of things were packed inside. I originally intended to open one of the boxes to take a look, but then worried that making a noise would attract other people's attention, so I gave up on the idea.
Walking along the fork in the road where boxes were piled up, a large iron gate appeared in front. There should be another passageway behind the gate, but it's unknown why it was locked up.
I guess there must be something very important behind the door, maybe it's the residence of that mysterious master. So I quietly approached and took out **** from my body, preparing to try and see if I can open this door.
The door was made of iron, but the lock on the door was just an ordinary iron lock, so I opened this door in one go.
Taking advantage of no one noticing me, I slipped inside the door and then shut it behind me.
When I turned around to look, my mouth was wide open. Behind the door, it was actually a very large cave, and the cave was also filled with wooden boxes. The number of these wooden boxes is probably at least tens of millions, looking very spectacular.
Standing in front of these wooden crates, I felt very small. I took a deep breath and then walked towards them.
There is no one here, I'm afraid I can rest assured and open the wooden box to take a look.
I casually opened one of the wooden boxes in the first row, and saw that it was filled with bullets wrapped in oil paper. I didn't think there was anything strange about it. But this row of boxes, at least tens of thousands, if they were all filled with bullets, could probably equip several legions.
When I opened the second row of wooden boxes, I was shocked to find that there was actually a rocket inside. This row of boxes had at least tens of thousands of them, did the red-clothed woman already have tens of thousands of rockets? That's incredibly powerful firepower! How could an ordinary civilian organization possibly have so many military weapons?
So I hastily ran to the third row of boxes and wanted to see if they were also loaded with those weapons and ammunition.
This time it was beyond my expectation, not all the boxes were loaded with weapons and ammunition, many of them were empty, and some of them only had clothes or food inside. It seems that this is just a comprehensive warehouse, not an arsenal as I thought at first.
I put my mind at ease and started rummaging through these boxes. I wanted to find weapons and food, after all, I didn't know how long I would be staying here. Relatively speaking, this place was still quite safe, at least no one could easily enter here, so the chances of me being discovered were much smaller.
I haven't eaten for a long time, so I want to find some food that can be eaten raw to fill my stomach first.
There are many boxes here, and it's easy to find some food. However, most of the food here can't be eaten raw, which made me work hard for a while. Although I finally found some food, when I sat down to eat, I realized that I had messed up this place.
So I endured the hunger, first putting away all the boxes that I had rummaged through, and then sat down to slowly enjoy my first meal here.
My first meal was a few sausages and a can of pineapple beer. This is the food and drink that I found could be eaten raw, so it wasn't a waste of effort.
As for the weapons, there are many here, I casually picked up a handgun and several magazines, and now I have new weapons.
Having eaten and drunk my fill, I lay down on top of the box to rest for a while, planning to wait until those people outside had gone to rest before going out to take a stroll, try my luck, and see if I could find the mysterious woman in red.
The wooden box was hard, but it was still flat, and after I lay down, I started to run my heart method, slowly letting myself enter the cultivation. For me now, cultivation is also rest.
After about three hours, I felt the surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that those people outside had also rested. There was no sound coming from anywhere. I slowly opened my eyes, scared away a mouse that was about to crawl onto my face, stood up, stretched my limbs on top of the box, then jumped down to the ground.
As I saw that there was no one around, my limbs which had been inactive for a while suddenly felt itchy. So I unfolded the Wudang body method and fist in the empty space between these boxes, and exercised freely.
I didn't stop until sweat started seeping out of my body.
I closed my eyes and slowly adjusted my breath, waiting for my body to recover to its best state before walking to the steel gate where I had entered earlier. I carefully listened for a while, and only when I was sure there were no sounds outside did I stretch out my hand to pull open the gate and slip out.
It seems that there is really no one in the tunnel outside, and they all seem to have gone to rest. I thought about it for a moment and understood. Since I came here, according to the time, now it's already between 10 and 11 at night, so it's normal for people here to go to rest too.
It's rare to have no one around, so I took the opportunity to take a look around. The tunnel has changed again here, and there are no longer individual small rooms on both sides, but rather a fork in the road every now and then, and each fork is separated by an iron gate, looking like it's either a warehouse or an important place.
I employed my old trick again and opened a warehouse door near the one I had entered previously, going inside to take a look.
This warehouse is much smaller than the previous one, and I can see the walls all around at a glance. This warehouse doesn't have wooden crates, and it feels quite empty inside. As I look around, I only see some things that seem to be torture instruments, but there's nothing worth paying attention to. I turn around and leave, not wanting to waste time in this boring place.
I opened one warehouse-like fork after another, but none of them showed me what I wanted to know. I began to suspect that the direction I chose was wrong, and I felt that it would be better to go directly to catch a few high-ranking people and ask about the whereabouts of the red-clothed woman from their mouths.
But my suspicion was soon ended by myself, because in front of me, this fork, and the previous ones are clearly different. This fork is divided into many small rooms, looking like a suite. And it's a suite with many rooms.
The decoration of the room is quite luxurious, comparable to that of a white-collar class residence in an ordinary city. This wouldn't be strange normally, but here - in an underground tunnel - it can't help but make me feel strange. Perhaps the person I'm looking for is not far from me now.
I immediately began to investigate inside the room, not letting any room go unchecked. My speed was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye I had looked through all the rooms here. There are a total of nine rooms here, and each room is decorated differently. Judging from its decoration, it should be divided into living room, study, rest room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom, entertainment room, dressing room and armory.
It seems that the owner of this place is a very meticulous person, otherwise how could it be divided so finely? Moreover, I vaguely feel that the owner here should be a lady, because I see that the clothes here are all women's.
I'm not a voyeur, and I don't pay much attention to things that aren't necessary to know. However, when it's necessary, it's better to be more mindful, otherwise, mistakes will keep happening, and one day you'll suffer greatly because of it.
The armory here is my focus, and what I'm most concerned about is the safe inside the armory. The armory itself was already heavily protected, not only with infrared automatic alarms and defense devices, but also with advanced anti-theft locks on the thick bulletproof glass. With those obvious surveillance devices, it shouldn't be necessary to use a safe anymore. If someone opened this armory, then this safe would just become a decoration. Someone who can avoid the infrared device and open the anti-theft lock, how could they not open this safe that doesn't seem particularly advanced?
Is this owner overdoing it? Or is there another hidden reason?
My heart skipped a beat as I cautiously approached the armory, wanting to see what was going on. Just as I was about to reach the armory, my instincts suddenly sensed danger and I reflexively dodged backwards. At the same time, I saw a bright light flash by from where I had just been standing. Next thing I knew, I couldn't help but wipe away the sweat on my forehead. Because on the ground where I had just been standing, something had actually sliced open a long gash.
Look at that bottomless pit, if I were to fall in, I'd definitely be dead. I took a deep breath and was about to try again to approach the glass door of the armory. Just then, a soft and gentle voice entered my ears: "Mr. Jin, if you don't stop now, I'm afraid I'll have to treat you impolitely."
I stood still at once, wryly smiling: "It seems that my every move has been seen by you. Are you the red-clothed woman? I came to find you, and seeing this armory was interesting, so I wanted to study it... didn't expect this armory to be quite dangerous, just now, almost got killed."
The voice just now was slightly tinged with a smile: "That's your own carelessness, don't blame others. Besides, my armory, what do you want to study? Don't you know that intruding into someone else's home is very impolite?"
I nodded slightly: "It was I who was rude. May I see your true self? There are some things I really want to ask you in person."
"That voice was still gentle: 'You turn around, walk forward, and enter my living room, then you can see me.'"
I smiled and said, "Right away." As soon as I finished speaking, the person vanished from the armory and reappeared directly in the living room.
In the living room, I don't know when four people appeared, two men and two women. One of the men was in military uniform, carrying weapons, looking like a guard. The woman made me feel a bit uncomfortable because they looked almost identical, and I couldn't tell them apart. These two ladies seemed to be older than me, around thirty years old. With their mature charm and well-maintained appearance, they gave me the feeling of being movie stars, shining and moving. Moreover, these two women even wore the same clothes, both in light yellow long dresses, looking younger and more beautiful.
I was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I wonder which of you is the red-clothed woman I'm looking for?"
The two women looked at each other and said in unison: "Neither of us is. Can't you see we're both wearing yellow clothes?"
As soon as they opened their mouths, I knew they weren't the same people who spoke to me earlier, because their voices were slightly different from that person's. I let out an "oh": "So where is the red-clothed woman now? You know my name is Jin Cang, and you must also know my background, so I won't introduce myself again."
The two ladies nodded in unison: "No need. Our teacher is changing clothes and will be here to see you soon. Please sit down and wait for a moment."
I glanced at the male soldier who had moved a chair for me, nodded slightly, and sat down.
At this time, the lady on the left smiled: "Mr. Jin is really good at his skills, and he appeared in front of us in the blink of an eye... You are using Wudang's body method, aren't you? I've heard about it before, but unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to see it. Today, I finally get to see it, and indeed, its reputation is not exaggerated."
I smiled: "I was just anxious to see your teacher, so I hurried a bit."
The lady on the right smiled and said, "Mr. Jin probably doesn't know our names yet, let me introduce ourselves. My name is Jia Zhen, this is my younger sister Jia Yu. These two gentlemen are bodyguards of our master, Chen Jiaqing and Chen Jiagui. They were formerly members of the special forces and came here after retiring."
I nodded: "Nice to meet you!"
Jia Zhen smiled and said, "We are also very happy to meet you. When you were at the Hu Long Lian, we knew about those things. Although now you have come to find trouble with us, we still welcome you."
I forced a smile: "I'm not looking for trouble, please don't misunderstand. I came here just to have a chat with your superiors, nothing else."
Jia Zhen smiled slightly: "Then why did you take action against us... against our people? I heard that you arrested our people, asked them some questions, and even treated one of our people with disrespect..."
I sighed and said, "It was my fault earlier that led to the misunderstanding. However, I didn't have any malicious intentions, I just wanted to find your superior as soon as possible."
"Come on, sister, don't be too hard on Mr. Jin, he didn't hurt us after all. Besides, Mr. Jin is my idol, you can't be mean to my idol!"
Jia Zhen smiled and said: "I was just joking with Mr. Jin."
I smiled wryly: "Indeed, it was me who didn't do well, don't blame you."
No sooner had I finished speaking than a soft voice came: "Mr. Jin, sorry to keep you waiting."
As I turned around, I saw a woman in all red standing behind me, smiling at me. I quickly stood up and smiled: "Are you the famous Red Clothed Woman? Nice to meet you."
The lady in red, who looked to be around fifty years old, had a voice that was too gentle. It sounded like a refreshing breeze, making me feel very comfortable: "Mr. Jin is being polite, I am the red-clothed woman you were looking for. What can I do for Mr. Jin?"
I said seriously: "I was ordered by Old Chen to come and find you. My purpose is to discuss with you the ownership of your troops."
The woman in red murmured "oh" and slowly walked over to sit down opposite me. Meanwhile, Jia Zhen and the Jia sisters had already stood up and made way for her.
The red-robed woman smiled faintly and said: "How did you know the location of our legion?"
I laughed and sat down: "Our intelligence personnel have undergone arduous reconnaissance and finally found out where your legion is."
The red-clothed woman nodded slightly: "So to speak, you are familiar with our legion's affairs."
I sighed and said, "Actually, we don't know much. The reason I was able to find this place is just because I happened to run into the truck your people sent out to buy food."
The woman in red smiled: "So that's how it is. It seems we were almost perfect, but you found our hiding place."
I glanced at the woman in red and said, "You don't know that we've been searching for you with great effort before, but couldn't find you. Today I can see you, there are some things I'd like to communicate with you, I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"
The woman in red slightly furrowed her brow: "Are you thinking of asking me about our legion's next move? If that's the case, I'd like to say that we currently don't have any plans, and even less so will take any action against your government troops."
I smiled slightly: "This is the best news I've heard in a while, thank you for telling me! However, I still have a few questions, please also give me an answer."
The woman in red looked at me with a smile on her face: "Since you haven't hurt anyone before, I'll answer your last question."
I knew this was the Red Cloak Woman's final concession, so I said: "Thank you. What I want to know is that your legion also has no interest in joining our government army. I can represent the government and negotiate with you comprehensively on this matter."
The red-clothed woman frowned and said, "This is not a trivial matter, how can I easily answer you alone?" After a pause, the red-clothed woman stood up to leave, saying: "Let's do this, I'll discuss it with several of our army's commanders first. Once we have a result, we'll talk to you in detail again. For now, would you mind staying here temporarily? Is that okay with you?"
I stood up and looked at the woman in red, saying: "Then I'll wait for good news."
The woman in red nodded slightly: "Then please ask Mr. Jin to rest well here, don't move around casually if nothing happens, I'm worried that there will be misunderstandings, and if Mr. Jin is accidentally injured, it would be bad."
I smiled slightly: "I know what to do."
The woman in red smiled and turned around to leave with Jia Zhen and Jia Yu.
I temporarily have no better way, can only live alone in this underground suite with many rooms. Fortunately, it is large enough for me to practice and there is also an entertainment room, so I won't be too lonely.
It's just that armory, I no longer dare to approach it easily, those lightning-fast defensive weapons make me feel very frightened.
I've been staying here for three days. During this time, no one has come to talk to me except for the people who deliver food and fruit at regular times every day. I haven't seen anyone else. This must also be part of the red-robed woman's arrangement. I can only endure it for a while longer.
