After a long search, I finally remembered a bizarre case from a few years ago: "The head of some organization raped a waiter?"

"It's the International Monetary Fund!" San Tu nodded his head and praised: "There are many doubts about this matter. You must know that Kahn is a person with a lot of reputation. Rape? At that time, he was already an old man in his sixties! You should have noticed the news back then, that the waiter is extremely ugly. Someone like Kahn, who wants women, isn't that just picking? How can he be that hungry? Moreover, the statements provided by the police afterwards were full of flaws. It could be concluded that this was a conspiracy! "

"But do you know why Kahn was framed?" San Tu pretended to ask.

I shrugged and pursed my lips to show I didn't know.

"Because Karn knows that the American gold reserves are missing!"

"What!" This time, not only me, even San Mao and exclaimed in surprise. Only Uncle Feng and the two ladies didn't have much of a reaction, because Uncle Feng didn't understand what San Tu was saying, Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie had probably heard his words a long time ago and had become accustomed to it.

San Tu seemed to be very satisfied with our reactions, he grinned and said, "Yes, the United States' underground treasury, including the large amount of gold stored in various countries, has mysteriously disappeared!"

"You … Why are you so sure that the gold disappeared? " Monkey quickly said.

San Tu nodded and added, "Before the event with Karn, there were many indications that American Gold was missing. All the countries in Europe had teamed up and asked to transport the gold stored in the United States back to their own country for safekeeping, but the United States rejected them, not even allowing them to inspect! In fact, since Eisenhower's tenure in the 1950s, the Fed's gold holdings have never been audited! "

We all gaped, and I thought to myself, if this is true, then the original exalted dollar was built on an illusory shell!

"Where did all this gold end up?" San Tu slowly said again.

"What's even weirder is that!" San Tu continued: "In the two to three years before the Zombie crisis, a large number of financiers and bankers died accidentally, some even with names. The majority of the deaths were from suicide, which was a list of names released by anonymous hackers on the dark net. "Why?"

I was suffocated by the consecutive questions that San Tu threw out. It was as if 70% of the truth that was pressed under the water was slowly surfacing, and the truth that seemed to be so shocking to the world.

I took a deep breath and said, "What you mean is, before the crisis with the Zombie, someone took out a large amount of money and secretly made preparations?"

"But this preparation doesn't seem to be of much use …" San Tu nodded his head and said: "Maybe the Zombie has acted too quickly, and they haven't finished their preparations yet."

"Could it be that in the 2012 movie, countries paid for the creation of the Ark of the Apocalypse in China?" San Mao suddenly said.

"Are you stupid?" I patted the back of San Mao's head. "It's not like I'm giving myself away now, what's the use of building a ark?"

"There really is such a possibility …" San Tu waved his hand and said: "But it might not be a ark, it could also be a gigantic underground base or something else. I am almost certain that there must be such a project here!"

At this moment, all of our eyes lit up, and Monkey's voice even trembled a little. "You're saying …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, San Tu interrupted him and said, "Yes, there must be another place in this world where the Fire Elemental of Human Civilization is preserved … We call him — the Fortress of Doom! "

"Food and clothing …" "There's water and electricity …" Monkey could not stop thinking leisurely. He muttered to himself, "There's still meat to eat …"

"Not only these, there is also a large amount of gold, weapons, equipment, grains, seeds, and other materials that can help humanity rise again after the crisis of the Zombie has been resolved!" San Tu said with an extremely certain tone: "Moreover, there are a large number of elite members!"

"Uncle Lu wants to bring us to such a place." Zhang Yiling suddenly interrupted.

"But where is this fort? China is so big, it's impossible for us to run into each other by chance! " I shook my head.

"Is it like in the movies, in Tibet? That place is a large and sparsely populated place, and the mountain roads are also hard to traverse. the monkey interrupted.

"It won't be long …" San Tu shook his head and explained: "Firstly, the geological conditions in Tibet are too unstable and secondly, the transportation is too inconvenient. For such a big project, just the transportation of materials is not enough."

"My guess is two places." San Tu continued, "Firstly, the western part of the city is called Jiuquan City, which is a satellite base. It has been in operation for many years, and during the cold war, in order to prevent nuclear war, many underground fortresses were built. If we build the fort here, we will be able to save a lot of time and effort, as well as a lot of money! "

"Also, Jiayu Pass is to the northwest of the Jiuquan, Qi Lianshan to the south. It is surrounded by the desert. The only drawback is the lack of water, but the underground water resources are very abundant, and the place where it is buried is very shallow. Oh right, the famous Crescent Spring is over there. "

"What about the other place?" Just as San Tu finished speaking, I impatiently asked.

"The second place, our deduction is very bold!" San Tu rubbed his eyes, looking like he was full of knowledge. "I think it's very likely that the Apocalypse Fortress is hiding in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area!"

I sucked in a breath of cold air, smacked my lips and said, "How is this possible? The Three Gorges is such a big project, how can it be done to deceive people?"

"It's precisely because of its large amount of work that it's easier to conceal! The Three Gorges Project had over a million immigrants, flooding over a hundred cities and towns, and the warehouse district had an additional 150 islands! To build some works on some of the islands, it would be fine to just say that it is a military project, no one would doubt that! "

"Do you remember how much opposition was raised when the Three Gorges Dam was mounted? Many of the older scientists had written to the central leadership demanding that the project be stopped, and even there had been hundreds of objections and abstention in the vote. This is extremely rare in our political environment! Why would such a program be forced into action? "

"At that time, the reason was that the Three Gorges Project was able to generate electricity. There is a saying that once the Three Gorges Project started generating electricity, there would be no shortage of electricity in our country for decades. However, in reality, since the start of generating electricity at the power plant in the Three Gorges Project, we have always been in a shortage of electricity! So where did all this electricity go? "

"After all, other than showing off our national power, there is nothing good on the surface when we build this dam. Our leaders are not stupid, so why do they have to build it?"

"First, with the dam blocking the Apocalypse Fortress, the terrain is hard to defend. Second, the transportation is convenient, and we can make full use of the Yangtze River channel. Third, there are abundant resources, and after clearing away the Zombie hidden in the water, the fish and shrimp production is almost inexhaustible. Fourthly, needless to say, we don't have to worry about the energy source for such a large power plant."

San Tu listed them one by one, causing me to be captivated by him.

Even though the news that San Tu has brought is only speculation, it has undoubtedly brought about a glimmer of hope to this group of people who are almost waiting to die. And hope, just happens to be the most precious thing in this era.

That night, we were all excited, like the old peasants who imagined the life of the emperor's princess in the palace, and longed for the Apocalypse Fortress. I saw Little Casey continuously running around us, doing all kinds of cute and naive things that made us laugh out loud; I saw Yang Yufan and Xiao Jie sneakily glance at each other, and occasionally made eye contact, so I immediately moved away, lowering my head and giggling shyly. For the first time, our damp, cold, lifeless base had a warm, rapprochement atmosphere. It was only when Uncle Feng was no longer willing to add firewood to the furnace and the fire had turned into ashes did we reluctantly end this night's conversation.

At night, Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie will sleep in the same room as Aunt Chen, and Uncle Feng and San Tu will squeeze in with us. Perhaps it was because I was too excited, but I was still unable to fall asleep. The moment I closed my eyes, all kinds of fantasies about the Apocalypse Fortress came to me, and it wasn't until a little after one in the morning that I fell asleep.

At first, I thought that it was San Mao calling me to get up at dawn. However, when I barely opened my eyes, my vision was still completely dark, and I could vaguely sense a human figure bending over to look at me. This small human figure is definitely not San Mao!

I was frightened to the point that my soul almost left my body. I instinctively opened my mouth to shout but to my surprise, the black shadow suddenly stretched out a hand to cover my nose and mouth.

"Shh …" The shadow breathed softly, and I calmed down. As my eyes adjusted, I saw MaggieQ looking at me with sparkling eyes.
