Chapter 70: A dilemma
After Duan Cheng briefly confirmed that there was no threat around, he used a rib stick to fiddle with the protective suit, and the lighting, tools, and cold weapons on the outside were not damaged, and even the words "Liu Ke, platoon commander of the second platoon of the third company of the reconnaissance battalion of the 89th Division" on the protective suit were clearly visible, only the person who should be wearing the protective suit and the regular magazine were missing.
Generally speaking, the border defense is equipped with two kinds of bullets, and there are also two kinds of wooden barrels, which look very much like the double-barreled hunting wood warehouses of the old era, but its wooden barrels do not exist at the same time, when ordinary bullets are used, the pulse tubes are in a closed state, and when the pulse wave is used, the ordinary tubes are in a closed state.
The wooden silo that fell at the door was running out of regular bullets, but the scale in the pulse magazine indicated that the wooden silo was still in a state of full energy, what made a soldier use only ordinary bullets instead of using an electromagnetic pulse with sufficient energy.
The hazmat suit on the ground, in the opposite direction of the helmet, and it appeared that the person wearing the hazmat was trying to go into the house but fell on the threshold, the hazmat suit was placed towards the house, and the helmet and the pulse wooden warehouse fell behind the clothes.
The way in which this kind of clothing is placed is in the opposite direction to the bullets that Duan Chengze saw in the yard before, but it is consistent with the direction of the helmet and the pulse wooden warehouse.
Duan Cheng was puzzled, but he came here completely to avoid the white shadow and find a way out, not to solve the case, and not to understand the reason made his vigilance raise another notch at most, and it couldn't arouse his too much inquiry.
He bypassed the protective suit, held a flashlight in his left hand, held a rib stick in his right hand, crossed his hands across his chest, and entered the house lightly in a protective posture.
The walls of the entrance are covered in dusty cobwebs, and through these discarded cobwebs, you can see the remains of spiders that have been drained of water and the cracked tiles behind them.
The ground under his feet was full of broken tiles and craters from bullets, and the edges of the broken tiles were mostly black and sharp, but there were a few edges showing white stubble, which looked like they had been broken recently.
The broken tiles continued from the entrance to the living room, but because the eyes of nocturnal animals could not distinguish colors, they could only recognize black, white and gray, and now Duan Chengze, who simulated the vision of nocturnal animals, also inherited the ability to distinguish only black, white and gray.
Even if he can only see black, white and gray, he can tell that the original owner of this house is a gentleman.
The entrance is only about one meter, the left side is connected to the living room, and in front of it is a passage more than ten meters long. The entrance to the living room was separated by a white wall covered in dust and stains, and opposite the wall was a long strip of ornament with a shell-shaped lampshade missing a light bulb, now also covered with cobwebs.
Bypassing the entrance, on its left hand side is a large living room, the same length as the aisle, and the floor tiles are also the same as the aisle, although the specific color can not be seen, but under the light of the weak light of the flashlight and the visual blessing of the nocturnal animals, a clear footprint can be clearly seen, extending from the living room to the stairs, and finally disappearing into the corner of the second floor.
In the living room on the first floor, it is evident that there was once a carpet, a large glass door with a couch facing directly from the hallway, and the ruins of wood that are too rotten to see the prototype and the basic form of two chairs.
Perhaps before the cataclysm, the owner of the house was here to sit, drink tea and bask in the sun, and enjoy a leisurely day.
There seems to be a small courtyard behind the large glass door directly opposite the living room, but it is slightly larger than the one that enters, and above the passage facing the glass door is the corridor on the second floor, the wood that used to be used as a corridor parapet is black and rotten, but there are no cobwebs, only a protective suit without a helmet hanging quietly face up.
There is a staircase paved with tiles on the right side of the large glass door against the wall, the guardrails are all rotten into rotten wood, there is a big hole in the middle of the stairs, and the steel bars are exposed in many places, which seem to have been damaged for a long time, and the steel bars are covered with gray-black cobwebs, and the smashed parts all fall into the space under the stairs on the first floor.
To Duan Chengze's surprise, those messy footprints didn't seem to know that there was a big hole in the middle of the stairs, and the footprints extended all the way to the big hole, and then continued to connect with it at the other end of the big hole to go up to the second floor, and disappeared into the right corner.
Seeing this, he suppressed his curiosity, gave up going upstairs to investigate the owner of the footprints, and instead studied the dirty, sliding glass door about six or seven meters long and ten meters wide, and the curtains that hung on both sides without staining the color so far.
He slightly increased the power of the flashlight and shone on the curtain, only to realize that it was not a curtain, but countless pure white moth wings.
These moths looked fluffy, their wings were pure white without a trace of variegation, and for some reason they were lying motionless on the wall by the glass door frame, if he hadn't increased the power of the flashlight, even if he had the vision of nocturnal animals, he would not have been able to spot these strange moths.
If these moths hadn't been spotted approaching the glass door, God knows what would have happened.
It was also with increased power that he discovered that the stains on the glass door were not ordinary dirt, but traces of blood and mucus mixing with each other on the door, most of those stains were old, showing a brown and gray appearance, but a few were very fresh.
It seems that the gang who went up to the second floor was forced to go, but judging from the hanging protective clothing, it was not peaceful above.
There are moths and unknown monsters in front of him, and there is a white shadow in the back who doesn't know if he will enter the door, it seems that he really has no other choice than to go up to the second floor.
——————————
Xia Mingtang sent people to explore the three caves screened by Wang Ye, and after 14 hours of exploration, he finally determined that one of them was the correct route for Duan Chengze and others to be transported, and Gain found the slime left by insects in that road.
The search and rescue team left some people at the bottom of the cave to dock and replenish the people above, while the others followed Xia Mingtang and Wang Ye into the cave.
This passage is a long and narrow calcified cave, the highest point is three meters, the lowest point is only half a meter, and the road is covered with broken outer stones of the cave, which makes the search and rescue team more certain that Duan Chengze and others were transported from this road.
After only 560 meters of walking, they came to another hall, and Wang Ye commanded people to mark the cave when they entered, so that they could find the way when they evacuated, because at this time, the search and rescue team once again encountered multiple cave entrances.
"Ahh
There was a barking like a dog coming from a cave, but where did the dog come from in the underground cave, Xia Mingtang signaled everyone to be on guard.
"Don't worry, this is our Chu Kai's classmate from Teacher Chu's family. Wang Ye signaled that everyone did not need to worry, and a female expert calmly walked in the direction where the voice came from, still holding a special pen for marking.
In a short time, a pair of small round eyes appeared from the cave where the sound came, and under the light of a large flashlight, a squirrel-like animal emerged from the cave and jumped on the shoulders of the female expert.
It has a brownish-gray back, a small body, large eyes, stubby limbs, a flattened tail, and a fluffy tail similar to that of a squirrel before the cataclysm.
