Chapter 401: A Cruel Trial
Gu Xiaole and the others didn't know that someone was doing a lot of research on their former residence at this time, and the biggest problem they were facing now was how to quickly clean up the rubble blocking the secret passage.
Gu Xiaole also said just now, in fact, it is not difficult to clean up the gravel itself, but it is difficult to clean up the gravel in the case of ensuring the safety of the tunnel and no secondary collapse.
Fortunately, there are also many miners in the mountains in Gu Xiaole's hometown where he grew up, and he has a second uncle who worked as a miner in one of the private mines when he was young.
Therefore, if you want to keep the mine from collapsing, you must first find something that can withstand the soil and rock above the mine.
Under Gu Xiaole's command, everyone walked out of the entrance of the secret passage one after another, returned to the warehouse on the fourth floor, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find all kinds of sturdy and thick wooden recipes that could be used.
Although this kind of thing is not common on weekdays, Gu Xiaole soon discovered that there are some large pieces of wood used for support on the roof of the warehouse, although it grows a lot more than they need, but it can definitely be used if it is cut.
So Gu Xiaole was the first to climb up, Alida followed, Ning Lei also climbed up as the third, and the rest of the Lin family sisters stayed on the ground to pick up the three of them.
After a lot of tossing, cutting with knives and chopping with axes, the big piece of wood was finally successfully brought down by a few of them.
The next step was to cut the log into a truncated piece of wood suitable for supporting the top of the tunnel, and Gu Xiaole and Alida were also sweating profusely, and Ning Lei and the Lin family sisters on the side were also tired enough.
Finally, an hour later, the wood was ready.
The next step was to move the short logs into the tunnel, but that's easier said than done.
Because the weight of these large wooden stakes is indeed not light, even if they are put down and pushed away, it is a very difficult errand.
But in any case, this matter is related to whether they can escape from the desert island, so none of the four women and one man dare to be lazy, and it took a lot of effort to push these logs to the side of the tunnel.
But everyone is really tired, Lin Rui, who has been in charge of logistics, took down a few kettles that had been filled before from them, and everyone did not shirk it, everyone held a kettle "dong dong ......dong" and came mouth-to-mouth, long flowing water!
After drinking the water, Gu Xiaole beckoned a few people to sit on the edge of the wall next to the entrance of the tunnel and rest for a while.
At this time, Lin Jiao, the little girl with the heaviest curiosity, spoke again:
"Sister Xiaolei, while everyone is sitting here and resting, there is nothing to do, why don't you translate the chapters that were torn out from the diary you just got in the lab at the bottom?"
Ning Lei frowned a little when she heard this, and said, "Okay, you little girl, I was so tired with Gu Xiaole just now that I don't want it, you still have to add work to me!"
How do you know that Ning Lei thought it was a very ordinary sentence, but when she arrived at the little girl Lin Jiao, her nature changed suddenly, and she was immediately heard to say with a smile:
"Huh, Sister Xiaolei, what did you just do with Brother Xiaole? Are you too tired to want to? Didn't you say that you are a yoga master? Why are your physical strength so poor?"
"You stinky girl, see if I don't tear your mouth!" Ning Lei jumped up and hit, while Lin Jiao relied on these wooden stakes as a cover, constantly circling around like a slippery loach, so that Ning Lei really couldn't catch her for a while.
Looking at the charming appearance of the two girls playing together again and again and sweating after a while, although Gu Xiaole didn't care about it on the surface, he still wanted to take a few more looks in his heart.
But Alida and Lin Rui on the side were sitting opposite him, he couldn't just stare at the two girls with straight eyebrows, so it didn't seem a good thing for his current image as a team leader?
So Gu Xiaole cleared his throat and said deliberately: "Mmmmmm...... You two stop, stop making a fuss! there's still a lot of work to do in the afternoon!"
To be honest, Gu Xiaole is still quite prestigious in their small team when he speaks now, and as soon as he said this, Alida also said:
"That's right, you two better stop making trouble and save some energy. And I think the little girl's suggestion just now is quite right.,What is the content of those pages that were torn off?,The sooner we know, the better!"
Hearing everyone else say this, the two struggling girls had no choice but to stop playing, and Ning Lei sorted out the fragments of the diary that had just been hidden in her backpack one by one.
Fortunately, although nearly 80 years have passed since the present of these diaries, the handwriting on this page is still very clear because they are all recorded on some very good military paper.
Ning Lei carefully looked at the order of the fragments of these diaries, fortunately, Professor Kumaji Inoue seemed to be a very careful person, and the date at that time was marked on the header of each page, so it was not difficult to sort it out.
Finally, Ning Lei picked up the last page of the diary she had read and looked at it carefully, line by line.
Gu Xiaole and a few other people sat around her, only to see that the more she looked at her, the more her brows were furrowed, obviously the content of the diary made her very emotional.
"What the hell did you see, why did you look so bitter and hateful?" asked the little girl Lin Jiao with a puzzled expression.
"Well, what is recorded in this diary is a bit ...... Hey!"
After flipping through several pages of the diary in a row, Ning Lei shook her head and sighed.
Immediately after that, she translated the pages she saw, and it turned out that after getting the news of the defeat of the empire in World War II, there was a fierce conflict within their fortress!
These scientific researchers, led by Professor Kumaji Inoue, expressed their desire to leave this desert island and surrender to the Allies.
But the officer class, led by Koji Osa, was resolutely opposed to surrendering to the Allies! They believed that as long as their experiment was successful, they would have every chance to regroup and turn the tide of the war in the Empire!
To this end, they also blocked all communication signals with the outside world in case they were discovered by the Allies......
Naturally, the scientists who were eager to return to their home countries and reunite with their families disagreed, but Koji Oda and the others had guns in their hands!
On this kind of desert island, if the order of civilized society is lost, then whoever has the strongest force will naturally have the highest right!
Koji Oda ordered Kumaji Inoue's scientific team to continue studying the substance of the lilac smoke, but after losing the fortress supplies given to them by the Empire, their life on the desert island became more and more difficult.
Although Koji Oda had ordered the poisoning of all prisoners of war and civilians in the labor camps in order to save rations, the fortress had lost its supplies, and every day people fell ill due to the lack of supplies, and even some soldiers and staff had died.
In this case, Koji Oda immediately ordered to speed up the process of the experiment, and began to use the strip-shaped worm that had mutated after receiving the meteorite strange substance directly on those sick soldiers and staff!
