Chapter 55: The Cave
We all hid in the cave and rested for a while, but our eyes were always on those dense monsters, and after a few minutes, watching the monsters outside gradually recede like a tide, our tense nerves really relaxed.
"Damn!" Wang Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead and scolded: "We have entered this monster's lair this time, this group of things is quite united, and they have killed a nest!"
Chen Ge's face was also a little ugly: "I didn't expect the number of monsters here to be so terrifying, it seems that now we can't turn back for the time being, I hope this cave is not a dead end." ”
After listening to Chen Ge, I began to look at the hole carefully.
In fact, it is a hole, but it is a semicircular stone door that is half-open in the ground, the stone door is almost more than one person high, two people wide, the door panel of the stone door has long been gone, only a bare door frame remains, it looks like a cave, the space in the cave is very narrow, the depth of the hole is pitch black, nothing can be seen.
Just as I was looking, Wang Quan and Chen Ge had already stood up, and now the innermost ice cube Ling turned on the flashlight, and the penetrating white light instantly pierced the darkness in front of me.
Wang Quan and Chen Ge saw the place where the light shone, their eyes lit up slightly, looking at their expressions, I also immediately got up and looked in the direction of Bing Cu Ling: the light of the flashlight filled this narrow hole, and when I looked at the light, the hole was almost five meters deep, and there were cement walls on both sides and the roof of the shed, and in the deepest part of the cave, there was actually a staircase leading to the underground!
Looking at this staircase that was like a staircase leading to the netherworld, I couldn't help but start to feel scared again, but there was no turning back, so I could only continue to move forward.
"It seems that my intelligence is not wrong, this should be the entrance to the underground base of the Japanese army. Chen Ge looked at the dark staircase and said with some excitement.
Wang Quan stretched his waist and said: "** said, 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day, then let's go quickly, hurry up and leave this ghost place, God knows if those monsters will find a big brother to rush in." ”
With that, Wang Quan raised the submachine gun in his hand, shook off his thigh, and took the lead towards the stairs.
Chen Ge glanced at Wang Quan, took a deep breath, followed Wang Quan, and also walked towards the stairs.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I had a familiar feeling, and just when I was stunned, Bing Culin, who was standing next to the stairs, said, "You go first, I'll break off." ”
I was suddenly awakened by him, and my heart was settled, anyway, there was no turning back, it was better to see if there were any other exits in this military base, and I didn't hesitate anymore after thinking about it, and followed Chen Ge down the dark stairs.
The whole staircase is in the shape of a slope to advance downward, after walking about a dozen steps, we have gone deeper into the ground about two meters, the stairs are very narrow, only one person can pass, both sides are concrete rammed walls, I reached out and touched the wall, the cement is cold, and a little damp.
We went down in silence, and after about thirty steps, we reached the bottom of the staircase, which was a corner to the left, and after turning the corner, there was a long passage, into which the four of us walked without hesitation. I don't know how long it took me, I felt a little dizzy, and suddenly, I heard Wang Quan, who was at the head of the line, shouting: "Oh! What the hell is this!"
Hearing Wang Quan's voice, my heart tightened violently, and I saw Chen Ge, who was walking in front of me, immediately ran to Wang Quan's side and exclaimed, "This, isn't this the missing fisherman?"
I immediately ran to the side of them in three steps and two steps, but the stairs were too narrow, Chen Ge and Wang Quan were standing sideways in the stairs, and through the gap between them, I saw a person who fell to the ground, to be precise, a dead man.
It was a middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed ordinarily, but it could be seen that he was dressed as a human being, and at this time he fell to the ground on his back, his body was rotten and unpresentable, and he also emitted a burst of corpse stench, and it was crawling with disgusting white maggots.
Seeing this scene, my stomach immediately churned, my eyes darkened, and I subconsciously took a step back, and then a strong but cold hand pressed against my back.
I was about to scream when I saw Ice Cube Ling poke his head out from behind me, looking at the corpse with a blank face, as if thinking about something.
At this time, Wang Quan, who was standing at the front, frowned and asked Chen Ge, "Hey, didn't you tell us anything about the missing fishermen?"
Chen Ge glanced at Wang Quan and said lightly: "Didn't I say it before, someone has already discovered the strangeness of this island, because a week ago, a fisherman with eighty acres of land disappeared near here, and at this time I happened to be in the village, I felt that this matter was not ordinary, so I lied that I was an agent, specially to solve this matter, and temporarily suppressed this matter, but I didn't expect to see him here." ”
After Chen Ge finished speaking, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he said suspiciously: "Originally, I thought he was torn to pieces by the monster outside, but I don't know why he died here." ”
After listening to Chen Ge's words, we all fell into deep thought: there are no terrifying monsters here, there is nothing around except the walls, and there are no injuries on the corpse, it doesn't look like he was assassinated by the organs, so how did he die here?
Just when we couldn't figure it out, Wang Quan couldn't bear it, and said: "Forget it, I see that this place is very hot and humid, maybe there is some poisonous gas here, this person died of poisoning, fortunately, we have prepared gas masks, and now we can't turn back, just put on a mask, and go all the way to the dark!"
With that, he put down his backpack and rummaged through his gas mask.
Chen Ge and I looked at each other for a while, and couldn't think of any other possibility, so we had to put down our backpacks and start looking for gas masks.
At this time, Bing Fang Ling, who was standing silently behind me, suddenly spoke: "He didn't die of poisoning. ”
Listening to Bing Cu Ling's words, the three of us were stunned for a moment at the same time, and Wang Quan said impatiently: "It's not that he died of poisoning, so how could he lie here for no reason? Could it be that he committed suicide?"
Bing Fang Ling didn't look at Wang Quan, he kept looking at the corpse intently, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Although it is hot and humid here, you can feel the flow of air, and then look at this person's corpse, he will definitely not die of poisoning." ”
Wang Quan listened to Bing Cu Ling's words, rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and still said with some unconvinced: "Although the air here is circulating, but there is no powerful poisonous gas left by Xiao Japan, which is diluted by this air, we don't notice it now, maybe it will be like this benevolent brother for a while, and his legs will be kicked to death." ”
Bing Cube Ling didn't speak again, but Chen Ge, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "I think what Mr. Ling said should be right, this person is indeed not poisoned to death." ”
I was a little confused and a little irritable, and I couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that he didn't die of poisoning?" Could it be that he told you in a dream?"
Chen Ge gave me a fierce look, and said a little angrily: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have common sense, beware of the wind flashing your tongue, you see that the person died calmly, there was no pain, the person who died of poisoning must be tortured by the toxin before he died, and the death should be very hideous, so this person obviously will not die of poisoning." ”
Listening to what Chen Ge said, I couldn't think of anything to refute her, so I had to shut up depressedly, and my mind began to think crankily again.
The four of us stood behind the poor fisherman's corpse, leaning against the wall behind us in silent thought, and for a moment we were at an impasse.
After a while, Bing Cu Ling suddenly spoke, "Go ahead first." ”
Listening to Bing Cu Ling's words, the three of us looked up at the endless staircase in front of the corpse at the same time, looking at the staircase that seemed to lead to hell, I couldn't help but resist a little in my heart.
Wang Quan took the lead in relieving his senses and opened his mouth to express his approval: "Anyway, we can't go back now, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in evil, the revolutionary ancestors said that all difficulties are paper tigers, how many years has this little Japan been out of China, we were not afraid back then, how can we be afraid of him now, go!"
With that, the guy walked past the corpse without hesitation, holding a submachine gun, and strode towards the depths of the stairs.
Chen Ge frowned, and followed closely, I looked at their backs, and didn't dare to stay any longer, muttering "Amitabha" in my mouth, while carefully rubbing past the corpse.
The four of us kept our original formation, and with the spirit of twelve, we walked deeper up the stairs.
