Chapter 22: Special Smells

Next Chapter

Ye Zhenzhen climbed to the entrance of the cave first, the entrance of the cave was more than one person high, crossed the hole, and there was a dark space opposite, there was a wind blowing, it seemed that she had figured it out with the outside world, but the light was too dim, she couldn't see anything clearly, and she didn't know how big the space was.

Pitch black and cold, this is Ye Zhenzhen's first reaction to the entrance of the cave, no matter what is outside the cave, it is better than being eaten by a rat in the white bone corpse pit.

Ye Zhenzhen climbed up to the entrance of the cave, then turned around, and dragged the policeman Xiao Wang and the village chief up, followed by the villagers Da Zhuang, Da Da and Erhe, and finally Nan Zhiqiao.

Nan Zhiqiao was holding a dagger in one hand and a cold firework in the other, and the protective clothing on his body had been torn several times, and he was covered in blood.

After pulling Nan Zhiqiao into the hole, the two big mice followed closely and were about to rush in, Ye Zhenzhen kicked over, and the big mouse screamed and was kicked out of the hole.

With the faint light left by the cold fireworks, Ye Zhenzhen found that there was a rusty iron door above the cave entrance, and the iron door was stuck by a handle, it seems that this iron door was used to seal the entrance of the cave before, but for some reason, the people here did not close the entrance of the cave before leaving.

The iron door handle was on the wall more than one person high, Ye Zhenzhen jumped up with her feet off the ground, held the iron door handle with her hands, and pulled hard with her weight, the iron door "boomed" and slid down, the cumbersome iron door just sealed the entrance to the hole, and the crazy white rat swarm was sealed in the white bone corpse pit.

Escaping from the white bone corpse pit and avoiding the terrifying swarm of white rats, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Zhenzhen was extremely nervous, half-kneeling beside Nan Zhiqiao, who had just climbed up, with a trembling cry, shouting: "So much blood, Senior Nan, where are you injured." ”

"I'm not hurt, it's rat blood. ”

Ye Zhenzhen didn't believe it, pinched the bloody place with her hand, and asked, "Does it hurt, is it really not injured?"

Nan Zhiqiao stood up and moved his hands and feet, "It's really okay, it's just a few guinea pigs, I can handle it." ”

Seeing that Nan Zhiqiao was really not injured, Ye Zhenzhen put her mind at ease, the situation just now was not a problem with a few white mice, it was a large group of mutant white mice, they used to be used for experiments in the laboratory, and today they were almost eaten by these experimental subjects.

Nan Zhiqiao raised the cold fireworks in his hand that were about to burn out, trying to see the surrounding situation clearly, but the light was too weak, and he could only vaguely see a rectangular room around, the room was not big, a row of cabinets on the left, there were some sundries on the cabinets, there were two round jars on the right side, the jars were sealed, and further on, there was an arched door, the door panel had fallen, and the arch was pitch black outside, and I don't know where it leads.

The cold fireworks in Ye Zhenzhen's hands had long been extinguished, and the cold fireworks in Nan Zhiqiao's hands quickly lost their light, and the room fell into darkness again.

Nan Zhiqiao took the last cold flame from his waist and was about to polish it, when suddenly, a terrible cry sounded.

Ye Zhenzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly came to Nan Zhiqiao's side, and then heard the villagers complain vigorously, "Erhe, what the hell are you crying about? I wasn't eaten by a mouse just now, and now I'm about to be scared to death by you." ”

Erhe, who let out a terrible cry, sniffed and sobbed and said, "My brother...... My brother, he was eaten by rats, and he couldn't even find a bone after eating, go back, how can I explain to my mother......"

Another villager sighed, "Let's talk about it if we can go back, in this situation, it's not certain if we can go back alive, you see the village chief, half of his life is gone." ”

Erhe's cry became even stronger, "I can't say that I can't come to the ghost cave, the village chief has to let us help, this is a big disaster, we encounter unjust souls in the ghost cave, and we have to be asked to stay here, and we can't get out......"

Erhe was sad and frightened, and cried loudly.

The policeman Xiao Wang half-squatted on the ground, holding the half-unconscious village chief with one hand, listening to Erhe's cry, and scolded coldly: "Don't cry, there are no ghosts in this world at all, don't scare yourself, now it's the key to find a way to get out." ”

Erhe stopped crying, and the cold flame in Nan Zhiqiao's hand lit up again.

Everyone looked at Nan Zhiqiao, and Nan Zhiqiao, as the leader of this operation, has now become the backbone of everyone.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Nan Zhiqiao, "Senior Nan, what should I do next?"

Nan Zhiqiao raised the cold fireworks in his hand to illuminate the surrounding space as much as possible, and said: "We should be in the middle of the mountain of Turret Mountain now, the light in the cave is too dim, this is already the last cold firework, it can't last long, if you want to get out, you must first find the light source of lighting." ”

The lighting equipment that I originally brought with me was lost in the white bone pit just now, and there was no flashlight and searchlight, where to find the light source?

When everyone was worried, Nan Zhiqiao's nostrils moved slightly, although his eyes were not good, Nan Zhiqiao's nose was extremely sensitive, and a faint smell in the room was sucked into his nostrils.

"Zhenzhen, look around, is there a gas lamp?"

"What does a gas lamp look like?" Ye Zhenzhen had never used a gas lamp before, so it was a little strange to be asked by Nan Zhiqiao suddenly.

"Underneath is a small iron jar with a nozzle for gas export, and possibly a glass lampshade. Nan Zhiqiao explained as he gestured to the appearance of the gas lamp.

Ye Zhenzhen followed what Nan Zhiqiao said, her eyes searched the room carefully, and finally found something similar to an iron can in the corner of the dilapidated cabinet on the left.

Trotting to the front of the cabinet, Ye Zhenzhen gently pulled the cabinet door, the age was too old, the cabinet was full of dust, and with a slight pull, the cabinet door actually fell.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't care about anything else, and threw the door of the cabinet that was pulled off on the ground, and a row of portable lamps with thick iron bellies, thin pointed mouths, and glass covers appeared in the cabinet, Ye Zhenzhen looked familiar, which was very similar to the lights used for wild camping seen in travel magazines, but it was simpler and uglier here.

picked up one of them and ran to Nan Zhiqiao, "Senior Nan, look, is this a gas lamp?"

"Yes, this is an old-fashioned gas lamp, which was mostly used in the last century for lighting in mines and some inconvenient places in the field. ”

"Senior Nan, how do you know that there is a gas lamp here?" Ye Zhenzhen was surprised by Nan Zhiqiao's unpredictable prophet, just like she had been here before.

Nan Zhiqiao pointed to his nose, "I smell the smell of calcium carbide." ”

"Calcium carbide and calcium carbide are ores that can produce acetylene gas when exposed to water?"

"Well, the humidity in this room is quite large, calcium carbide reacts with water vapor in the air, releasing acetylene gas, and there are trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide and phosphine impurities, so there is a smell similar to garlic in the air, I speculate that there is calcium carbide and gas lamp with calcium carbide as a gas source based on this smell, you look at the two sealing cans on the right, which should be calcium carbide for industry. ”

Nan Zhiqiao pointed to the two jars on the right, and Ye Zhenzhen walked over and carefully unsealed them.
