Trickster Hunter

Chapter 167 Going Deeper

"Information about the Siberian Federation... Fisherman, you are Siberian, right?" Sun Hang glanced at the fisherman beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything." The fisherman said helplessly, "When the Siberian Federation collapsed, my grandfather was not even born... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I speak Russian worse than Northeastern Chinese."

The current Siberian Autonomous State is just a small piece of land in the Far East of the vast Siberian Federation, accounting for only about one twentieth of the total territory of the federation.

And St. Petersburg, the capital of the Siberian Federation, had already fallen in waves of attacks by monsters a hundred years ago.

The reason why the Far East survived was entirely because of its huge strategic depth that blocked the momentum of the monsters' invasion to the east.

"Then how did these Anglo-Saxons get the information?" Yano frowned, "St. Petersburg has long been a forbidden area for humans. In the past hundred years, humans have never set foot in the area west of Lake Baikal... It's really strange..."

The Lake Baikal mentioned by Yano is a large freshwater lake located in the southern part of the East Siberian Plain. It is also called the North Sea. It was once part of the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Later, for various reasons, it was occupied by the predecessor of the Siberian Federation, the Tsarist Russian Empire, and became their territory.

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world. It was formed by the collapse of the stratum. The deepest point can reach 1,600 meters. When the Siberian Federation collapsed, the remnants of the Siberian Federation and the reinforcements of the Xiazhou Federation fought desperately in the Lake Baikal area to block the pursuing monsters and repelled them after paying a huge price.

Since then, Lake Baikal has become the border line of the northwest end of the Xiazhou Federation.

A city with refugees and former soldiers of the Siberian Federation as the main population was gradually built on the tundra east of Lake Baikal. This large piece of land, including this "Baikal City" and all the way to the easternmost Sea of ​​Okhotsk, is the division of today's "Siberian Autonomous State".

In other words, although the "Siberian Autonomous State" is considered a border city-state of the Xiazhou Federation, it is actually only the area around Baikal City that is a real border area. Other places, including the coastal areas where fishermen live, are actually not much different from the stable Central Plains.

"It would be great if there was a chance to catch them alive and ask them." The fisherman said, "In my impression, these Anglo-Saxons are a bunch of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong. When the time comes, they will definitely tell you everything they know with a little tricks."

As for the fact that Tianshu Tower will investigate it later, it should be the responsibility of the Anglo-Saxon hunters, not theirs.

"This method is indeed feasible." Sun Hang nodded, "The only thing I'm afraid of is... there are no survivors."

"Uh..." The fisherman was stunned, and his voice suddenly became a little softer, "These Anglos... shouldn't all die so easily?"

"That's hard to say." Yano shook his head and glanced at the half body "stuck" in the wall, "Look at how panicked this guy is, they are obviously in big trouble down there."

"Hiss... then should we go down?" The fisherman shrank his neck.

"Yes." Sun Hang said without hesitation, "If you have any concerns, you can go back to the ground."

"That's not the case." The fisherman shook his head, "I don't want to be a coward. Since you are determined to go down, I will go down with you! On the contrary, Yano, you are not a combatant in the strict sense, otherwise you should not go down."

"I still want to take a look." Yano said, "those archives left over from that year."

As a researcher at the Tianshu Tower, those things are as attractive to Yano as a hungry ghost seeing a sizzling steak or a pervert seeing a naked beauty, especially when he is only one step away from the truth. If he is asked to give up now, he will not agree to anything.

Yano has made up his mind. He has brushed shoulders with death countless times along the way. Since he can walk all the way here, this may be the will of the gods-don't think that people who do scientific research are not superstitious. For people like them who study weird things, the deeper the research, the more they believe in the existence of gods.

When something cannot be explained from a scientific perspective, many scholars either go crazy or turn to theology.

As long as he can see the documents in the underground archives, Yano thinks it is worth it even if it costs his life.

He suddenly remembered an old saying from Xiazhou.

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening."

...

The three continued to move forward along the railroad. As they approached the central area, the space around the railroad became wider and wider, and various infrastructures became gradually complete. The place they are in now is not like a subway tunnel, but more like an underground commercial street with a light rail, or an underground town.

"Wow, what a guy." The fisherman walked and looked around. "Although it can't be compared with Chunming City, it's still hard to imagine how such an underground world was built with the engineering technology and productivity of more than a hundred years ago..."

"It's not difficult to combine the strength of the two strongest countries in the human world." Yano said, "If you have the opportunity to go to Chang'an in the future, you can visit the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. That's really shocking."

"I will definitely go if I have the chance." The fisherman nodded, "Speaking of which, what are these houses painted uniformly white used for? I don't think they are for people to live in. There are not even windows... Although it is underground, a house without windows would suffocate people to death, right?"

"This entire block is an experimental area." Yano said, "You can also call it an exercise area."

"Exercise area?" Sun Hang Curious, "Is this a training ground?"

"That's not wrong." Yano nodded, "If I remember correctly, this area should be the F area on the first underground floor. There are four training areas, A, B, C, and D, corresponding to the four types of terrain: desert, forest, ice field, and city. What we are seeing now is the D area representing the urban terrain."

Sun Hang remembered very clearly that the diameter of the underground area of ​​the Nameless Island Research Institute was almost twice that of the surface buildings, and its edge had already extended beyond the basin - the ruins on the ground were actually just a corner of the iceberg that emerged from the water.
