C182 Valley Bottom

We're not looking for nothing this time.

Since we are looking for this kind of water that falls along the canyon, then of course we would have to look for more reliable rivers and streams along the way. We might as well go along the creek where our only source of fresh water is located not too far away from the Little Rock Mountain's campsite.

We had never gone down this stream before, but this time, after we had gone a little further, we discovered that this stream was just another tributary of another river, which eventually intersected to form a river about ten meters wide. This river was very turbulent, and the direction in which it flowed was exactly where the Grand Canyon was.

He followed the river and arrived at the great gorge in one breath. Indeed, he discovered that the river flowed down the river and into the bottom of the gorge, forming a gorgeous waterfall.

Compared with this waterfall, the waterfall near our building can be described as a "bonsai."

We stood at the top of the waterfall and looked down, trying to see some of the generators, but they were too far away, and with the water splashing around, we still couldn't see them clearly.

Amy said that if there really was a hydraulic generator down there, then there must be a way to get from roof of valley to the bottom of the valley. Otherwise, every time they went down there to do maintenance, would they have to climb up the mountain? All of them had to be taken by helicopter?

We all thought it made sense, but we searched the vicinity and found nothing, and in the end Linhai decided that the passage might be on the other side of the canyon.

In the end, we decided to let Amy descend first.

Amy took out a walkie-talkie and we took one. After 20 minutes, Amy successfully landed at the bottom of the valley, and then quickly found the location of the electric generator.

It's going too well. However, based on my previous experience, such a smooth process means that there will be some unforeseen circumstances that will occur later on.

I asked Amy on the walkie-talkie if she saw those dark things at the bottom of the valley. Amy said that she didn't see them this time.

Very quickly, Amy recounted the situation of the generators at the bottom of the valley again. She said that the generators here were the same as the ones at the side of the building previously, a total of sixteen, but without exception, all of them stopped working. Furthermore, it seemed that it had been a long time since someone had maintained them, and he was unsure if they could be repaired.

In my heart, I said that I would have to rely on Ding Wen and Ding Wu, the two "power experts", but the two of them weren't able to descend like Amy, so I told Amy to quickly stay around to see if there were any paths for people to walk on.

I indicated to Amy that this passage was definitely hidden, maybe it was the same as the underground building that was built inside the cliff, Amy said that she would carefully search along the edge of the cliff.

The people above us, of course, would not be idle. I began to tell them to examine the rocks under their feet one by one, to lift up all the ones that could be moved, and perhaps there would be a tunnel leading down.

Progress of events

It went even more smoothly.

Very quickly, Hu Ziming shouted out, only to see him pointing at a rock at his feet and saying: "Look! There's a passage down there! "

At the same time, Amy also reported to me using his walkie-talkie: "Xiao Chen! I found it! It was indeed a passage hidden inside the cliff! "It's a close call, but it's still a staircase!"

I told Amy that we found it too, and told her to wait at the bottom of the tunnel for us to go down. After all, it was pitch black down there, and no one knew what was inside.

Very quickly, we pushed away all the rocks at the entrance that Hu Ziming had discovered earlier, and then I was the first to walk down with my flashlight in my hand.

This was a spiral staircase!

I tried to step on it a few times, but it was still stony and solid.

I am a little surprised, isn't this amount of work a little too much?

Just digging a 100-meter-long tunnel from the inside of the rock wall was already quite a task. If he were to build a stone staircase of this length, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it without the help of a professional tool or an engineer.

However, if one thought about it carefully, the staircase here was nothing compared to the underground building on the other side.

Of course, everyone was also surprised by the solidity of the staircase. Lin Hai said that he felt that these people from the Bluebird Group clearly wanted to build a large base here, and they were also clearly prepared to survive on this island for a long time. Otherwise, why would they be building such a big building?

Furthermore, we have a bigger doubt, if that's the case, why did the people from the Bluebird Company suddenly leave?

The staircase is very easy to walk on. We only took about ten minutes to reach the bottom of the valley, and then we successfully climbed out of the exit that we found earlier by Amy.

From below, the waterfall looked even more spectacular, like a piece of silk falling from the sky, and the generators were about fifty meters to the side of the waterfall. When we walked in, we could clearly see that there were a lot of wires connecting the bottom of the generators to the ground.

Before, I didn't really understand the Bluebird Company's financial situation, I thought they were just some ordinary mid-sized company with some fixed assets, but now, it seems that whether it was financial or manpower, they were all terrifying, and it gave me a feeling of "wealth comparable to a nation".

However, I had never heard of such a company before.

No one else had heard of it either, even Wu Denghai had not heard of it before he had blindly joined the Bluebird Company.

Just then, Ding Wen and Ding Wu had already started checking the generators, after ten minutes, the two of them stood up and told us that as long as we repair the generators slightly, they can still be used normally, if we were to say that there is anything to worry about, it is that they do not know for now whether the circuits that are connected from the ground floor to the underground building are still in good condition, and if any damage to the circuits in the way caused the failure of the electricity supply, then the repair would be a huge project, and it would be almost impossible to complete.

I nodded, thinking that I could only pray that the wires were still intact.

Then, the two of them started to carefully inspect the machines. The only tools I could provide them were the mechanical lubricants I had stored in my storage, and these lubricants were even from the third Bluebird base. Wu Denghai had used these lubricants to maintain the generators at the bottom of the valley near our building.

While we were waiting, we weren't idle either. We probed around the bottom of the gorge.

At the bottom of the canyon, not a single blade of grass grew. This was because there was not a single piece of soil that was connected to the canyon.

We found many signs of human activity at the bottom of the valley, including bags, scraps of clothing, various broken tools, and even makeshift huts.

Just like the situation inside the underground building, the things left behind were all damaged. This meant that when the Bluebird Company's men retreated, they seemed to have made up their minds that they would never come back.

I frowned as I glanced at Wu Denghai who was not far away. This guy said before that the reason he is staying on this island is to capture us and wait for the Bluebird Company's men to return so that we can get a high reward.

Either the people of the Bluebird Company lied to him, or he was lying to us.

However, I feel that the possibility of the former is higher. After all, the people from the Bluebird Company did not return on time, and is already a grasshopper on the same rope as us.

Half an hour later, I heard a loud mechanical roar from the generator, and then I heard Ding Wen and Ding Wu shouting, "It's fixed! The generators here can normally be used to power the electricity! "

I took a deep breath. The next step would be to enter the seventeenth floor of the underground building again and see if Wu Denghai's eyes could pass through that iris recognition system.
