Chapter 56: The Stubborn Old Man
In order to hide people's eyes, the old guys specially disguised the underground passage as an abandoned underground heating pipe, so this passage is not very wide, everyone must bend over and hunch their backs, lined up in a row to slowly march to the depths with difficulty, and deliberately piled up some forks and debris to cover up the camouflage, which brought great difficulties to our march, but we are already very content with such conditions, because when I complained loudly just now, Chen Sanshan, the old Wang Ba, told me angrily that in addition to this emergency access channel, the institute also has an emergency passage disguised as a sewer in useWhoever has an opinion on this path will go to the other one......
Chen Sanshan walked in the front, while opening one hidden door after another, while checking whether there were any traces of anyone entering and leaving here recently, and found that we were the only group of visitors here recently, which is not a good thing or a bad thing, because there are two possibilities for no one to take the emergency escape channel, one is that the trouble of the research institute has been solved, or there is no strict zhòng to the point where you need to use this last hole card, and the other is that the old guys have been wiped out before they even have time to use the escape channel......
"This is the last door," at the end of the passage, the old guy pointed to a thick metal plate with a length and width of half a meter and said, "Behind this is the corridor of the research institute, as long as you open it, you will enter the research institute...... Are you ready?"
We also nodded solemnly, knowing in each other's hearts that after entering, it was very likely that another fierce battle would be inevitable......
"Don't go out yet, two girls, stay here to meet us. I looked at Wang Xiaohan, who was obviously powerless, and Jiang Shasha, who was now unarmed, and said with a gentlemanly demeanor.
"Don't go with you if you're hurt. Chen Sanshan glanced at Li Mo, who was now unable to walk without being led, and he couldn't bear to let this kid continue to risk himself.
"That said. It's just the three of us......"
"What do you say?" Lao Wang Ba said confidently: "Ye Du is so old and still let Ye charge ahead?"
So, in the end, it was just me. A single person opens the isolation door and goes out to investigate...... What? Why don't you take Sherdon? What are you kidding, I don't know what the situation is out there now, and with Sherdon, a freak who will produce moths at any time and anywhere, what if this kid just smokes some kind of wind and kills me? I'd rather work a little harder than carry a bomb on my back.
Cautiously pushing open the metal door, I cautiously poked my head out and looked left and right, and found myself in the corner of a corridor in the common area of the institute, where I had worked for more than four years, and this corridor had been walked through hundreds of times, but I never thought that there was a secret passage in this inconspicuous corner. The old guys at the institute really have a lot of secrets hiding from me.
However, after I carefully observed the surroundings, I no longer had the leisure to worry about the old things' careful thoughts, because I suddenly found that the metal corridor, which was originally neat, bright and clean, full of a sense of technology and the sense of the times, now looked closely on the ground and there were faint mud footprints and small discolored stains, as if some wounded people had rushed by, and blood was dripping on the ground; there was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and there were blackened bullet holes and mottled burn marks on the walls. It was clear that someone had fired a gun here, and even the daylight natural lamp on the ceiling, which was constantly extinguished, was dim and flickering, indicating that the institute was running out of electricity. The dilemma of having to switch to backup energy.
My heart was instantly lifted, and the institute had indeed been invaded! A group of cyborg killers who killed people with loaded guns without blinking, and who had been transformed into more cold-blooded and perverted were rushed into a group of people who had spent their lives dealing with tool test tubes. In the elderly science and technology house where the mind is developed and the limbs are simple and proportional, the end must be that people enter the flock. We're going to wipe out the group in an instant!
"What about those defense mechanisms!????," I scolded angrily and rushed towards the nearest room. There is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, maybe these old things can still rely on their own inventions to stand by and wait for help after the external defense mechanism of the research institute is broken?
As a result, I was disappointed again, no one! The room was a mess, although it was not visibly damaged, but it was pitch black and lifeless, leaving a bleak feeling of people going to the empty building, and it was obvious that the owner of the place had retreated in a hurry......
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound from the depths of the corridor, as if something had exploded, and when I heard the sound, I couldn't hide my whereabouts, and ran away in the direction from which the sound came, and the old things were still resisting! There were still people alive! If I went a little faster, I might be able to save them!
I ran forward in a hurry, but after an explosion, there was no more sound, and this strange silence added to my uneasy feeling, the institute must be in serious trouble!
"Buzz~!" The overhead light, after a faint flicker, finally went out completely, plunging the corridor into a complete darkness, but I saw hope in this sudden darkness - there was light! A faint glimmer of light peeked through the crack of a door, and it was particularly dazzling in the darkness.
That is Shi Tieling's real yàn room, if there is light in it, then there may be people, could it be that Jiang Shasha and his father survived and is preparing for a Jedi counterattack in his real yàn room?
Quietly approaching the door, carefully clasping the crack with my fingers, I slowly and cautiously widened the crack of the door, put my eyes up to look inside, and couldn't help but burst into tears after just one look: Shi Tieling was indeed inside! Moreover, he looked more sloppy and haggard than usual, and was struggling to get up from the ground with great difficulty, not far in front of Old Man Shi, an instrument that was so broken that he could not recognize the prototype was still emitting black smoke.
Obviously, the stubborn old man still hopes that the equipment he invented can save his companions and save the institute at a critical moment, so he does not hesitate to make the last effort tirelessly in such a severe form, and it is the deep love for all his companions and friends who supports the old man to overcome fatigue, panic and anxiety, and persevers in his efforts!
I struggled to push open the door of the real yàn room, rushed in to support the stubborn old man, Shi Tieling didn't seem to be hurt in the explosion, just a little dizzy, seeing me suddenly rush in, the old man's cloudy eyes instantly radiated brilliance, and he choked up in an incredible tone: "You...... You're back!!"
"Yes! We're back!" I comforted the old man as if I were comforting a fellow who had been poisoned by the Japanese devils and had managed to find the organization: "We're all back! We'll take care of the rest! The most important thing now is to move you to a safe place before the explosion draws the enemy in......"
"I'm not going anywhere!" the old man's temper was as bad as his name, stinky and hard, and he pushed my hand away and cried out, "I...... I'm not done yet!"
"I know, I know," I comforted the old man heavily, "when the trouble here is solved, we have time to ......"
"Then you should solve it quickly! You rabbit cub!" The old man roared at me with tears in his eyes: "Why don't you pay the property fee and water and electricity bills before you leave!!? we have been cutting water, electricity, and network cables here for three whole days! Relying on that little backup power supply can you study a fart! How many people's research progress has been slowed down by you!" (To be continued......
