Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 272: For Your Majesty (87)

Dragon Raja 5

“Yes, there are many military cities of similar size in the vast Siberian uninhabited areas, each with a different purpose. Some are dedicated to building nuclear-powered bombers capable of circling the Earth dozens of times on a single fuel load. Others are researching antimatter annihilation bombs, which theoretically could blow the Earth in half. There are also cities that are themselves supercomputer matrices, built in the snow and ice for easy heat dissipation. Each city explores the limits of human imagination. One even researches time machines, utilizing tiny black holes that only last a few thousandths of a millisecond. It’s said they actually sent a monkey inside. Perhaps that poor monkey is still drifting in the rift between time and space, waiting to be rescued.”

“You gather here every year just to trade these technologies?” Lu Mingfei said.

“Although these are not fully mature technologies, the customers are still very generous in their offers.” Bunin sighed, “I’m sorry, my dear friends, I deceived you. The coordinates you gave me look like a similar city.”

“So the idea of ​​destroying these cities with nuclear bombs is also fake.”

“That’s not the case. I persuaded the Ministry of Defense to do this. Think about it, my people have already dug up everything they can and sold everything they can. I have to destroy the evidence, right?” Bunin grimaced. “So the nuclear bomb will indeed fall in seven days. We don’t have much time left. Now, can you tell me the real coordinates, Princess?”

“What I gave you are the real coordinates.” Lu Mingfei admired Zero’s dignified and indifferent expression.

“Stop kidding me, okay? No one knows Siberia better than me,” Bunin said with a look of disgust. “The place you’re talking about is a primeval forest. There’s nothing there except foxes and bears.”

“Siberia is so vast that even the FSB can’t thoroughly search it, yet you can tell from one coordinate that there’s a primeval forest there?”

Bunin was speechless for a moment and scratched his head. “Well, I sent someone to airdrop and check it out the same night I got the coordinates. It’s a primeval forest.”

“After getting the coordinates I gave you, you think you have found a new city, which means you don’t know all the military cities in Novosibirsk.” Zero continued to ask questions.

There was no fluctuation in her voice, but her tone was aggressive. When Bunin confronted her, it was like Christina confronting Lu Mingfei, and he involuntarily became the one to answer the question.

Bunin realized he’d been silenced by Zero’s rhetoric, but he didn’t exactly want to resist. “When the Soviet Union collapsed, all the information about these cities was lost. Over the years, I’ve purchased old archives through various channels and dug through city after city, but I’ve never been able to find the three great thrones of Novosibirsk.”

“The Three Great Thrones?” Lu Mingfei asked. The name was so childish that it piqued his curiosity.

“Aside from the outlandish concepts of time travel and antimatter annihilation bombs, three of Novosibirsk’s military cities are the most secretive. Their research was both bizarre and nearly complete, their value inestimable. They’re known as the Three Thrones of God. They were the Super Soldier Project, the Immortality Project, and ‘Research on God.'”

“Research on God?” Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“According to current intelligence, what that city does is called ‘research on God’.” Bunin shrugged.

“But the Soviets should be helping atheists.” Lu Mingfei squinted his eyes, feeling that the name was a bit mysterious.

“That’s right, but when a group of atheists seriously begin to study God, they should have found proof of God’s existence.” Bunin’s expression was a little mysterious. “Some say they accidentally found God’s corpse.”

The corpse of God! Lu Mingfei felt a chill in his heart for no apparent reason.

“So maybe if we find that city, we can find the body of God?” Zero was still calm.

“Maybe we’ve found it,” Bunin paused, “but it’s more accurate to say it’s the body of an angel.”

Bunin clapped his hands vigorously a few times, and the wall with the red flag and the bust of the great man slid open silently, revealing a deep passage leading underground.

Bunin glanced at Lu Mingfei and Zero, then stood up, opened the cabinet next to his desk, and pulled out a lighting device similar to a miner’s lamp. He gestured to them, then walked ahead, holding the miner’s lamp. Zero gladly accepted the invitation and stood up to follow. Lu Mingfei had no choice but to follow.

The passage was winding and damp, descending layer by layer. It was built very roughly, but with thick cement walls, it looked extremely solid. There were warning signs nailed to some of the turns, but Lu Mingfei couldn’t read the Russian on them.

“There’s nothing special written there, it just says that unauthorized intruders will be shot.” Zero saw Lu Mingfei’s confusion and whispered in his ear.

Lu Mingfei shrugged. He wasn’t afraid of a lurking monster, but knowing they were headed to a dangerous place, why were both the host and the guest so calm? It felt like they were going to the wine cellar together to get a bottle of wine.

The depth of the tunnel was estimated to be more than ten stories. The total amount of cement consumed is quite astonishing, not to mention the workload.

“It’s the city’s air-raid shelter. It’s designed to withstand a hydrogen bomb explosion of tens of millions of tons and can accommodate the entire city’s population,” Bunin explained.

Lu Mingfei nodded. A military city should certainly have such facilities, and the angel’s body hidden in the deep bunker was really grand and weird.

Walking out of the passage, the sound of Zero’s high-heeled boots hitting the ground suddenly echoed, and the beam of light from the mining lamp also lost its focus. It was obvious that this was an extremely huge space.

Bunin led them onto a concrete trestle. On either side of the trestle lay bottomless darkness. They stopped in the center of the trestle. Bunin pointed his mining lamp upward, vaguely catching sight of a cylindrical vault and semicircular concrete beams. The air-raid shelter was large enough to fit a heavy rocket, yet it was empty.
