Chapter 339: Underground Research Institute
"I'm going to investigate the zombie case, what are you going to do?" Du Yun looked at Li Anna speechlessly.
"I'll go! As you said, I'm already a martial artist, and I need to sharpen myself in actual combat, so that I can progress quickly. Li Anna said stubbornly.
"So you haven't had a job lately?"
"Yes! I'm going to make a movie called "Don't Look Back Tonight"! But you're gone as the male lead, and I can't shoot it if I stay. Li Anna said confidently.
Du Yun: "......"
After an early dinner, the three of them rushed to the airport.
Du Yun and Li Anna's flight was half an hour early, boarding and leaving first, and then after a nearly two-hour air journey, they arrived safely at Rongju City Airport.
It was already half past seven in the evening.
After the two got off the plane, they immediately stopped a taxi and rushed to Xincun, the reason why they were in such a hurry was because the zombie crisis was racing against time, and finding the drug maker behind the scenes one minute later could cause more innocent people to be killed.
"Listen to your accent is from outsider, right?" the driver, a talkative middle-aged uncle, took the initiative to open the topic.
Du Yun said: "We are from the capital. ”
"Yo, people from the capital, why did you think of running to a small place like ours, and you have to go to Xincun, it shouldn't be that you have relatives over there, right?"
Du Yun was a little strange.
According to Pang Yu, eighteen years ago, the entire village was destroyed because of the zombie incident, and after the incident, the new village has been empty, and no one dares to live there at all.
"Is there still anyone living in the new village?" asked Du Yun.
Uncle Driver smiled: "How can anyone live, since you are going to Xincun, aren't you the descendants of Xincun?"
Li Anna blinked her big eyes: "Uncle, we don't understand what you're talking about." ”
The driver glanced at Li Anna in the rearview mirror and exclaimed: "The little girl looks so smart, like a big star, what's her name...... Forget it, I don't usually chase stars, it's all my girl who watches those entertainment variety shows, I occasionally watch them, and I can't remember the name. ”
"Uncle, let's talk about Xincun again, you are off topic. Anna was speechless.
The uncle laughed: "Hey, look at my memory, people have a terrible memory decline in middle age, no one lived in that new village eighteen years ago, it is said that there was a fire that year, the whole village was not spared, and then no one went to build there, the geographical location is too partial, in the ravine, the traffic is inconvenient......
"So when I heard you say that you were going to Xincun, I wonder if you are the descendants of Xincun who came to worship your ancestors. ”
Du Yun and Li Anna suddenly realized.
Du Yun said: "Uncle, you guessed accurately, we are indeed here to worship our ancestors, we were still young, and we don't know what happened in Xincun, uncle, can you tell us in detail, do people here know what happened that year?"
"Alas, you two children are pitiful, you were only a few years old eighteen years ago. The uncle sighed and continued: "Actually, I really don't know what happened back then, but I heard that there was a fire in Xincun, which was huge and burned down the entire village. ”
"Are you sure it's a fire?"
"That's what everyone said, and some people said that they saw the fire in the sky, and the smoke was thick, and I was in my twenties that year, and I was in Rongju City, but I didn't see any fire. The driver said.
Du Yun speculated that the fire was probably an official excuse spread back then, and that most of those who said they saw the fire and smoke were also officials.
Rongju City is not far from Xincun, a twenty-minute drive away.
Pay to get off.
There is a dark night scene all around, and there is a village entrance not far away, and there is a wooden sign engraved with the word 'new village' on it.
This place, which is said to have been visited by no one for 18 years, does not seem so deserted, although a few earthen tile houses have collapsed, but there is no debris and garbage on the road, and even there is not a lot of dust.
"Brother Yun! look! there are footprints!" Li Anna suddenly screamed.
What a strange thing it is to leave a row of footprints on the ground in a place that no one has been to for eighteen years.
"Don't make a fuss, it may be left by the descendants of Xincun who came to worship their ancestors. Du Yun thought of a possibility.
However, this is very unlikely.
Even if you want to worship your ancestors, you don't necessarily have to go back to the new village, otherwise you won't see the phenomenon of queuing up on the roadside to burn paper during the Qingming Festival.
So, Du Yun and Li Anna followed the row of footprints and quickly passed through the new village and came to a deserted mountain forest.
The mountain wind was howling, and the tall trees were strange, which frightened Li Anna.
Seeing this, Du Yun hugged him into his arms, and said in a calm voice: "What are you afraid of, you are also a psychic fourth-level martial artist, and the low-level ghosts have to turn around and run when they see you." Besides, I'll protect you, even if the Ghost King jumps out, you have to taste my fist first. ”
After some reassurance, Li Anna calmed down.
The two continued to speed up their pace, but as they walked, the shoe prints on the ground suddenly disappeared.
Li Anna was a little anxious, and looked around, but found no shoe prints. Du Yun is looking into the distance, a small mountain peak hidden in the dark night, it is one of the famous Taoist mountains in China, Maoshan Mountain.
"There is a tomb at the foot of Maoshan Mountain. Du Yun remembered what Pang Yu had told him.
Li Anna didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Brother Yun, what did you say?"
"It's fine. Du Yun shook his head, and then began to look around.
Five minutes later, he was standing in an open space and walking back and forth several times. Li Anna didn't know why, so she walked up and asked, "Brother Yun, what did you find?"
"You walk around me in circles and see what's different. ”
Li Anna did so, walked around three times, and looked dazed: "It's nothing different." ”
Du Yun said: "You try to walk three laps in the opposite direction." ”
Li Anna walked three laps in reverse, but still didn't find anything.
Du Yun shook his head, and said in his heart that this Nizi's IQ still needs to be improved.
But at this moment, Li Anna suddenly shouted excitedly: "I understand! I didn't shout slogans-demons and monsters!"
"Huh, why didn't you react? The Monkey King staged in Journey to the West turned left three times and turned right three times under an ancient locust tree, and then summoned the entrance to the monster cave, why did it fail when I got there?"
"Brother Yun, did I pronounce the mantra wrong? Teach me quickly!"
Du Yun: "......"
After adjusting his mood, Du Yun said: "Don't you notice that the feeling of landing in my land is relatively hard, while the feeling of landing in other mountains is softer?"
Anna Li: "......"
After speaking, Du Yun squatted on the ground, and after throwing aside the surface soil, a modern metal secret door appeared.
Li Anna's eyes lit up, and she immediately came up: "This is a secret passage?"
"It should be. ”
"How can there be a secret passage here? Isn't it that no one has been here for eighteen years?"
Du Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at the mountain peak not far away: "It can't be said that there is no one, there is a hidden Maoshan Taoist priest on that mountain." ”
No longer giving Li Anna a chance to continue asking questions, Du Yun opened the secret door.
It's really a dark tunnel, leading to the underground.
It was dark in the dark passage, and Li Anna was a little scared, so Du Yun took her in his arms and slid down the secret passage together.
After sliding for about dozens of meters, the two landed safely, and suddenly a strong smell of corpses wafted in, and Li Anna quickly covered her nose and almost vomited.
"Brother Yun, did we fall into the sewer, it stinks. Li Anna covered her mouth and spoke slurredly.
Du Yun directly held his breath and said in ventriloquism: "According to Team Pang, this should be the royal tomb found by those tomb robbers back then, it is said that the first zombie jumped out of here, and it bit those tomb robbers and caused several people to stiffen, and this will happen in the follow-up incident of the entire new village villagers becoming zombies." ”
Li Anna gasped: "Then should we call more people over, what if the zombies jump out?"
"It stands to reason that the zombies in the tomb were also killed by the Taoist priest of Maoshan back then, if this is really the royal tomb, there will be no zombies. Du Yun said.
Anna Li breathed a sigh of relief.
After a slight adjustment, the two began to walk deeper into the secret passage.
The secret passage can be seen to be excavated artificially, judging from the degree of corrosion of the stone wall, it should be some years. There is no light in the entire secret passage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers, but this is difficult for Du Yun, his yin and yang eyes can peep at night, and pull Li Anna safely along the way.
I walked for more than ten minutes.
Suddenly there was a light in front of me.
Li Anna, who had been in the dark for a long time, immediately affected her vision, and felt that her eyes were about to be blinded by the bright light.
"How can there be a light?" Li Anna closed her eyes, puzzled.
Isn't this a tomb?
"Don't talk, someone. Du Yun hurriedly covered Li Anna's mouth and whispered in her ear.
Li Anna's delicate body trembled.
There are people in the cemetery in the middle of the night!
Is it the living or the dead?
Du Yun began to slow down, getting closer to the light source little by little.
At the end of the secret passage, it turned out to be a huge cave house, the cave house has made a strict space design, divided into countless individual areas, each area has a door, I don't know what is going on inside, as for the location of the hall, a set of modern sofas and coffee tables are placed, and there is a row of people standing guard next to it.
Li Anna was stunned, and looked at Du Yun stupidly with big watery eyes.
Du Yun took out his mobile phone and motioned for Li Anna to turn it to silent.
Then, the two chatted on their mobile phones.
"Brother Yun, is this a tomb? "Anna added a row of 'frightened' emojis to the end of the text.
Du Yun replied: "Obviously it's not a tomb, it should be an underground research base, as for what you're researching, let's take a look first." ”
"Digging such a large base dozens of meters underground, it shouldn't be a drug factory or a small movie shooting base?"
"Your imagination is so rich, why don't you try to write after filming. ”
Li Anna sent a row of 'kitchen knives' expressions.
Du Yun returned a row of 'grenades'.
Li Anna came to drain the ''.
Du Yun replied with a row of pig's heads. ’
