Chapter 23: Explosive Ruins
As soon as the seal was opened, a pungent smell of garlic rushed to her face, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but sneeze, and then took a closer look, inside was half a jar of gray-black small stones, and the stone sections were purple and gray, "Senior Nan, these small stones are calcium carbide." ”
Ye Zhenzhen wrapped two gray stones in front of Nan Zhiqiao with the cloth that had sealed the jar, and Nan Zhiqiao moved the cold flame in his hand farther away, trying not to get close to the stone.
The gray stone block was close in front of him, Nan Zhiqiao looked at it twice, and nodded firmly, "Well, this is industrial calcium carbide, put them in a jar under the gas lamp, add water, produce gas and ignite, and you can illuminate it." ”
According to Nan Zhiqiao's statement, taking out the calcium carbide from the jar, Nan Zhiqiao took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, Ye Zhenzhen, Da Zhuang, and Police Xiao Wang each lit a gas lamp, accompanied by the sound of "Zizizi" flames, and the room above the white bone corpse pit instantly lit up.
Under the bright light, Nan Zhiqiao's eyes were much better, and then he looked at the iron door that sealed the entrance of the white bone corpse pit, and the center of the iron door was inlaid with this heavy piece of glass, and the glass was covered with a thick layer of gray-black dust.
Nan Zhiqiao carried the gas lamp, walked to the glass of the iron door, picked up a strip of rag on the ground, wiped it vigorously on the glass, the glass was wiped out of a blank, looking through the glass into the white bone corpse pit, in the empty corpse pit, a cold flame left behind is slowly extinguishing, the faint light is reflected around, and a piece of rats is still gnawing on the corpses of the same kind.
Nan Zhiqiao sighed invisibly, turned around, and walked towards the arch on the other side of the room.
Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen and Da Zhuang, each carrying a gas lamp in their hands, walked in front, the policeman Xiao Wang carried the semi-unconscious village chief on his back, and Erhe, who was injured in the arm, followed behind with a strong foot.
Everyone walked out of the arch of the room above the bone pit, and there was a dark black arched corridor, which was paved with floor tiles, and the pungent smell of garlic in the air gradually dissipated, followed by a stronger and stronger pungent smell.
This pungent smell is neither like the smell of calcium carbide just now, nor like the dull smell in the mine, but more like the smell of various medicines mixed together in the chemical warehouse.
Ye Zhenzhen was wondering how there could be the smell of chemicals in this ghost cave in the Turret Mountain, and her eyes suddenly became empty.
Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao were the first to walk out of the Yongdao, and beyond the Yongdao was a huge circular hollow.
The exit of the tunnel is connected with a stone staircase, the steps slope downward, extending under the circular cavity, which is built into a regular circle, along the side wall of the circular cavity, is a circle of independent small rooms, in the center of the cavity is a large black pit, the big pit is surrounded by abrupt and cluttered rocks, bricks, broken wood......
If you look closely, the center of the circular cavity looks like a large crater that has been blown out of thin air, and the pit is surrounded by scattered rubble glass debris and marks of burning fire.
Everyone came out of the corridor, standing on the high platform on the periphery of the corridor, overlooking the magnificent and desolate and strange scene in the circular cavity at their feet, and they all took a breath of cool air in their hearts.
Erhe held on to his feet and sighed in horror, "What the hell is this place? It can't be hell, right?"
He looked at the buildings in the circular hollow and said boldly, "Look at those houses, they are artificially built, not ghosts. ”
The policeman Xiao Wang gasped, put the village chief off his back, stood up again, and sighed: "It's not hell, it's someone hiding here pretending to be a ghost." ”
"Who is here?" asked Erhe stupidly.
"The people who built this place are the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods here. The policeman Xiao Wang said disdainfully.
"Who would have built such a place deep in the mountains? Can people live in a place that is not transparent or ventilated?" asked Dali, also puzzled.
Da Zhuang was a clever rethinker, thinking that he had heard from the old people in the village that there had been Japanese stationed in the Turret Mountain, and that the Japanese had a secret mine in the mountain, so it couldn't be here, right? Da Zhuang guessed: "Could it be the Japanese? The legendary secret pit can't be here, right?"
Dali also remembered the legend in the village, the legend is that there were many miners on this turret mountain who never returned, and there were many people who disappeared inexplicably, and then thought of the white bone pit just now, as well as the two abandoned turrets outside the ghost cave, this is really a secret base built by Japan.
Even the villagers and policeman Xiao Wang thought of this, Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao also had an idea in their hearts, no matter when and who built it, the most important thing now is to find a way out, if possible, find the source of the bottle that Xiaohu said.
Ye Zhenzhen asked: "The place where Xiaohu, Xiaopang and Erya fell should be different from the place where we fell just now, otherwise, with the strength of their three children, they won't be able to walk here, and they won't be able to get out in the end." ”
Xiaohu said that they fell from a deep sloping well, passed through a row of rooms, and finally climbed out of another cave, which they fell from may have been a hole used to ventilate the place. Nan Zhiqiao said, pointing upward, "You see, those holes are used to ventilate with the outside world. ”
Everyone looked up, and directly above the central pit, there was a hole of the same size, the hole was not large, just enough for a person to crawl through, and there was a faint light in the hole.
Erhe excitedly pointed to the holes arranged in a regular row above and shouted, "There is light, that's the exit, we can get out." ”
Da Zhuang glanced at Erhe, and said angrily: "The ventilation hole is so high, can you climb up?"
Erhe didn't squeak anymore, indeed, the ventilation hole above the central pit was too high from the ground, and without external support, it was impossible to climb up, let alone carry so many seriously wounded.
Standing at the exit of the road, looking across the central pit, there is a slip of steps leading to the stone wall of the mountain, and a road on the stone wall that looks the same as the one behind you does not know where it leads.
Ye Zhenzhen pointed to the entrance of the Yongdao on the opposite side and said, "Senior Nan, the Yongdao on the opposite side should be the exit, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Nan Zhiqiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a rough outline could be vaguely seen at the entrance of the Yongdao on the opposite side, no matter where it led, it was the only way out of here at present.
"Okay, let's go to the opposite side of the road first. ”
To go to the opposite corridor, you have to pass through the central cavern below, the central cavity seems to be full of all kinds of closed small rooms, but the middle position is blasted out of a large crater, which is the central pit that everyone sees now full of various waste and debris, bypass the central pit formed by the explosion, and walk forward along the narrow corridor outside the surrounding small rooms, you can reach the entrance of the opposite Yongdao.
Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao took the lead and walked down the Yongdao steps, along the twisted stone steps to the flat ground under the central hollow, the ground here is also paved with stone bricks, the traces left by the explosion can be seen everywhere, and the flat stone brick floor is scattered everywhere with abrupt rubble and glass shards.
