Chapter 20: The Vanishing Man
"The recent earthquake shattered the boulder that blocked the entrance to the cave and exposed the cave, shattering the glass cylinder, and the cyclops that were placed in it also escaped, and one of them ran down the cave to hunt and met me. Wang Hao said inferredly.
"For now, you make a lot of sense. Li Shiren thought for a while and said.
"There are four glass tubes here, so there should be three more cyclops. ”
"And it's hiding somewhere in this cave, we have to be careful. ”
Wang Hao nodded.
"Let's keep walking and see if we can find anything. ”
The two continued to walk forward, and Wang Hao asked Li Shiren, "What do you say the Kwantung Army is doing to study cyclops?"
"Weapons. ”
"Weapons?"
"In times of war, the Kwantung Army can only invest so many resources in research, maybe they hope to get a powerful weapon from the cyclops, listen to your description of the cyclops is a very brutal creature, the liquid that spits out of its mouth is very corrosive, these may allow them to create a weapon of mass destruction. ”
Wang Hao stood still, and simulated in his mind that a person was sprayed by the liquid spit out of the mouth of the cyclops, thinking about the vaporized stone, the picture was too cruel Wang Hao didn't dare to imagine it.
Wang Hao threw out the picture in his mind, and walked two or three steps quickly to keep up with Li Shiren.
The two of them walked forward for a distance of one or two hundred meters, and found several stone chambers that had been hewn out.
"It seems that this was originally a place to rest. Li Shiren said
"Let's go in and have a look. As he spoke, Wang Hao came to the door, the door was an iron door, which was already covered with a thick layer of rust, and there was a lock, of course Wang Hao did not have a key, so Wang Hao chose the easiest way to open the door. took a few steps back and then rushed two steps and kicked on the iron door, Wang Hao imagined the scene that the iron door was kicked by him, but the reality was that the foot was in contact with the iron door at the moment, the iron door was visibly deformed, and then Wang Hao kicked out of a hole, one of Wang Hao's legs was stuck in the hole, before Wang Hao in order to pursue handsomeness This kick is flying in the air, so this scene can be imagined, Wang Hao kicked out a hole in the iron door, along with this force, Wang Hao followed one leg in, but the root of the thigh was stuck in the hole, you must know that this hole was kicked out by Wang Hao, and the side half of the hole that came out was not very smooth, and there were often sharp places, fortunately, the equipment given by Li Shiren is good enough, otherwise Wang Hao would have become a eunuch in the new era.
Li Shiren was stunned when he watched Wang Hao's series of operations on the side.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't stand, come and help. ”
"How can I help? Kick it? I said, can't you just kick the lock open?"
"Isn't that a little different from what I imagined? What do you think I'm going to do now?"
"Let's pull out the leg first. ”
Wang Hao tried it but couldn't get it.
"No, I can't. ”
"I said, wouldn't it be better for you to use a knife to make the hole bigger?"
"Oh, yes. ”
Wang Hao held the dagger in his hand, and with a swish, a white flame emerged from the dagger, forming a flame blade.
The flame blade easily inserted into the iron door, and after circling around Wang Hao's legs, the hole really became bigger. Wang Hao's center of gravity moved back and was ready to pull his legs out, this will Wang Hao is standing on one foot, and the balance of one foot is not easy to grasp, as soon as the center of gravity moves back, Wang Hao's body falls directly backwards, Li Shiren was about to go up into the house to take a look, took two steps forward, and happened to hit Wang Hao on him, and the two of them fell together in front of the puddle on the ground.
Li Shiren pushed Wang Hao on his body aside, "Be careful, you got me covered in water, but fortunately, my clothes are waterproof." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wang Hao quickly got up and apologized, and dragged Li Shiren up from the ground.
"Alright, let's get the door open. ”
"Okay, look at me this time. ”
"Reliable. ”
"Don't worry. Wang Hao drew a rice character on the door with the flame blade, and then touched it lightly with his foot, and the iron door slammed on the ground.
"How is it?" Wang Hao turned his head and asked Li Shiren.
"Alright, don't show it, let's go inside. Li Shiren pushed Wang Hao into the room, and he followed.
Within two seconds, the two of them were coughing.
"Ahem, it's been a long time since anyone has come in this house, and the soil is too thick. Wang Hao said while coughing.
"Who told you to slam the door directly on the ground, raise all the dirt, cut the lock and push it open gently, isn't it?" Li Shiren said after two breaths.
"It's useless to cut the lock, you didn't see the rust and welded the door to the wall, and in the end we still have to tear down the door, okay, don't talk about it, let's go in when the soil falls." ”
"Okay. ”
Wang Hao and Li Shiren stayed at the door for about ten minutes, waiting for the soil to fall before entering.
There were two long tables in the room, with chairs neatly arranged on either side of the table, several large tin cabinets against the wall, and several iron beds left. Although some places have deteriorated over time, covered in a thick layer of dust, everything is neat.
Li Shiren looked around with a flashlight, "It's very strange." ”
"What's strange?" Wang Hao asked.
"The things in this room are so neatly arranged that if it weren't for the thick dust, it's like someone lived here last night, and this morning they packed up their things and went out to work, and they would come back in the evening. ”
Wang Hao listened to Li Shiren's words and looked at the furnishings in the room, which was indeed the same as what Li Shiren said.
"And from the moment I saw the machines, I was thinking about a problem. ”
"What a problem. ”
"Where's the people here?"
"The people who are doing the experiments here?"
"That's right, remember that we haven't seen any bones since we came in. ”
"I really haven't seen it. ”
"And the damage to the equipment and things here is all natural damage, and there is no trace of human sabotage, so this place should not have been attacked, so where are the people who were originally here?"
"Evacuated. ”
"I also thought about whether it was the defeat and surrender in World War II, and the people here also evacuated and returned, but the furnishings in this stone room overturned my idea, if it was an evacuation, it must not be very hurried to see that it was so neatly cleaned up here, it was an orderly evacuation. ”
Wang Hao nodded and motioned for Li Shiren to continue.
"So they will definitely bring all the valuable things back to China, you see that there are so many things that are still placed there, even if the people here surrender, and someone comes to disarm and accept the equipment, then I can understand that the experimental equipment outside will not let them take away, after all, it was a set of pretty top-notch laboratory equipment at that time, but these mattresses, quilts. Saying that, Li Shiren opened the iron cabinet against the wall, "These clothes will always be taken away, and there is no trace of packing up and leaving." ”
"Then where do you think the people here have gone?" Wang Hao asked.
"I guess one day many years ago, people here got up in the morning, packed up for experiments, and never came back. ”
"It's scary to hear. ”
"Let's go to the other stone chambers. ”
