Chapter Fifty-Four: The Abandoned Factory

  "Officer Li Ling, please come with us." One of them bowed towards Li Ling.

  "Alright." Li Ling felt that the other party was being too polite to him, what were these two people actually up to?

  All the way, Li Ling did not let go of the surrounding grass and trees. This place looked like a dilapidated chemical plant that had been abandoned for over 50 years. With the help of moonlight, the outline of this chemical plant in its heyday could be vaguely seen.

  As he walked into the center of the chemical plant, a simple small wooden hut appeared in front of Li Ling. The small wooden hut had a dim yellow light inside, and the light bulb was an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. If you knew what kind of light bulb Edison used back then, you would know the shape of the light bulb in front of him.

  In the factory yard, there were blue buckets filled with water, but it was unclear whether they were filled with rainwater or someone had intentionally poured water into them, and even what was inside these blue buckets.

  Even Li Ling himself would doubt whether there was something terrifying in the bucket, after all it was past one o'clock in the morning, and they were in a deserted mountain valley, an abandoned factory, with two eerie guides leading the way, making it easy for people to imagine all sorts of things.

  Li Ling had noticed that there were many dangerous buildings in the factory, with some being five or six stories high. These buildings belonged to the type from the 30s and 40s of last century, and their structures were very solid. Although it has been over 60 or 70 years, except for the red brick exterior walls which had some damage, the entire framework was still solid. It is estimated that this dangerous building can still stand here for another decade without collapsing.

  Finally, Li Ling came to a conclusion that this was a chemical plant from the Second World War era! But it's unknown why it would be well-preserved in this hidden valley.

  "Li Ling Shang Shi, our authority is just to send you here, and the entrance to the underground is right in front of us." One of them suddenly stopped and pointed at a small wooden house.

  Li Ling looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a small wooden house. The house appeared to be newly built in recent years from its exterior. Li Ling asked doubtfully, "You said there's an underground entrance?"

  One of them said: "Yes."

  "You're not telling me that this small wooden house can lead to the underground and meet your boss." Li Ling's eyes were fixed on the small wooden house.

  "Yes, Lieutenant Li Ling! From this door, go straight in and someone will guide you."

  "What organization are you people from?" Li Ling frowned and asked.

  "Commander Li Ling, we absolutely have no ill intentions. Whether you enter or not is entirely up to you. However, we know that Commander Li is a very curious person and won't let go of unknown things. All the secrets are inside this small wooden hut. As long as you enter, you can get the answers you want." One of them finished speaking and left.

  Li Ling was indeed a curious person. Looking at the small wooden house, Li Ling gave a thumbs up and said, "You guys are impressive, you understand my temperament."

  Li Ling slowly approached the small wooden hut, in this desolate mountain wilderness, an abandoned World War II-era factory, a small wooden hut with unknown things behind its door.

  After bumping into the door handle, the door wasn't locked and easily pushed open. The scenery inside the wooden house presented itself before Li Ling's eyes, with simple wooden tables and stools scattered about.

  What suddenly put Li Ling on guard was a woman in red sitting on a wooden bench staring at him with indifference.

  This woman was just over twenty years old, with a head of silver hair that fell to her shoulders, and sharp eyes that seemed to be charged with electricity, making people feel a chill run down their spines.

  She is a beauty, but she is also a terrible beauty!

  "Li Ling Shang Shi, you're here." The red-clothed woman said indifferently, she was like a cold machine, without emotions, without feelings, to the point where you would think she didn't have a breath of existence, just like a machine.

  "Who are you?" Li Ling was startled by the other's blue eyes.

  "I am the guide." The red-clad woman stretched out her hand and pressed a red button on the wooden table in front of her, suddenly hearing the sound of mechanical movement, which was some kind of mechanical device.

  Li Ling slowly adjusted his breath and mobilized his true energy.

  It's strange if this place doesn't arouse people's vigilance and defense.

  The red-clothed woman only looked at Li Ling, but then the wall behind the red-clothed woman opened a slit, and a beam of light shone out from the slit! The light was a bit dazzling.

  Li Ling, having stayed in the dark for a long time, suddenly saw the bright light and was a bit dizzy. He raised his arm to cover his eyes and used the corner of his eye to observe the situation behind the gap.

  The gap gradually expanded, revealing a mechanical door. Behind the door was a sloping passageway leading down to the ground, which stretched out of sight.

  In this abandoned World War II factory, there are such high-end facilities and underground projects, which makes Li Ling suspect that all of this cannot be a project that can be completed by one person, it must be a mysterious organization, or even a country.

  When the gap opened to its maximum, allowing three people to pass through, it suddenly stopped with a creak. The apathetic woman slowly stood up and bowed to Li Ling, saying: "Officer Li Ling, please follow me."

  Li Ling was stunned.

  Li Ling had been an assassin for three years and had seen many mysterious events in various countries around the world, but this time was a bit special.

  Generally speaking, unless there is a high level of confidentiality required or scientific research that needs to be isolated from the world, such underground facilities would not exist, for example, some biochemical research and nuclear weapons research.

  But here, after all, is a mountain valley thirty miles outside the suburbs of Yanjing. What exactly are they studying? Biochemistry and nuclear bombs can be ruled out - after all, biochemistry and nuclear bombs would be extremely far away from urban areas, and this place is directly adjacent to some of the country's border regions, desolate and uninhabited areas.

  So Li Ling couldn't tell what this underground project was.

  But to unravel all these secrets, Li Ling could only follow behind the back of this apathetic woman. However, once they entered the underground, even Li Ling was not confident that he could escape.

  Li Ling hesitated for a moment before following him up.

  After entering through this gate in the wall, the door slowly closed.

  The indifferent woman's body language is very monotonous, and her actions are like a robot.

  "Follow me, get lost here, and you may not be able to walk out either." The indifferent woman turned around and walked towards the underground.

  How could a straight path be impossible to walk out of? Li Ling felt that this joke was a bit low-level.

  "I'd like to ask a question?" Li Ling now has many questions in her mind.

  "I can answer questions outside of restrictions." The apathetic woman said.

  "Outside of restrictions, you're referring to the scope of what can be answered, right?" Li Lingdao said.

  "Yes." The indifferent woman replied simply.

  "What was this abandoned factory outside used for?" Li Ling asked, and from the appearance, Li Ling couldn't guess what this abandoned factory of sixty or seventy years was originally used for.

  " Arsenal!" The apathetic woman said simply.
