Chapter 48: Departure
100 years in the long river of history, maybe just a moment, but relative to a generation, that's all he has. Life is not a hundred years, when I get old, who remembers the meless me.
βThe Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 78
In the smoke, the gravel and dust have covered the entire storage room, but on closer inspection, this explosive is worthy of direction, except for a half-meter diameter collapse hole at the location of the secret door, the other parts of the storage room are not seriously affected, and even some worn-out tools near the explosion point are intact.
The collapse was more than two meters above the ground, and Terry found a wooden box with a new foot, and then carefully observed the situation behind the secret door.
It is also a downward inclined corridor, at this moment the corridor is covered with a large amount of gravel dust, it should have just exploded out, and then looked at this secret door, it turned out to be a two-inch thick stone slab, if it is not the explosives exchanged by the system, if you want to achieve the current effect, it is estimated that you have to use a lot of explosives to explode.
The stone door latch that was broken in two was lying five or six meters behind the secret door at this time, and the thick stone pillar seemed to be not light, which was enough to see the power of the explosion just now.
Terry, wearing a night vision device, slowly climbed into the collapse, first carefully inspected the situation in the corridor, and after finding that there was no danger, he cleaned up the debris and opened the secret door.
Fortunately, the explosion just now did not affect the opening component of the secret door, and in a burst of tooth-sore metal sound, the secret door was slowly opened by Terry.
At this time, Major General Oprah and his guards also came to the storage room, and the dust from the explosion had dissipated at this moment!
Seeing that the passage had been opened, everyone didn't say anything, and climbed up the secret door in an orderly manner, and groped forward behind Terry.
"There shouldn't be any mechanism up ahead, right?"
Of course, the poor second master is at the forefront, and it is estimated that he has been frightened too much today, so at this time, the spirit of the second master is very sluggish, if it weren't for Terry's strange rifle against his back, it is estimated that he would have been spread on the ground and unwilling to go.
"Little sir, don't worry, it's just that this passage is a bit long, and so much time has passed, I don't know if there will be a place to collapse."
The worry of the second master is not unreasonable, after all, the hard stone passage is more than ten meters near the secret door, and then the tunnel is all in the dirt, it is estimated that the excavation was too hasty, and there is no support in the entire tunnel, just where I passed, I have seen a lot of small areas of collapse.
"This tunnel should still be connected. At least the air can circulate in it. β
Major General Oprah walked behind Terry, and when he heard the worry of the second master, the major general looked at the torches in the guards' hands and then said, the torches that shook back slightly were enough to prove that there was an air flow coming in front of him.
The group walked in this damp tunnel for more than 5 hours, and did encounter several relatively large collapse points on the way, but fortunately the passage was not completely blocked, and with the efforts of everyone, it was still easy to pass.
"Little sir, turn two more forks and you'll reach the exit, little sir, you promised......
Walking here, it is no longer a tunnel excavated manually, this is a natural underground crack, although this underground crack does not have the craggy stalagmites that are difficult to walk in the cave, but there are many forks, if it is not for the second master to lead the way, it is really possible to get lost in this intricate underground environment.
"Don't worry, I won't lose my word, I'll give you a way to live after I go out."
Looking at the nervous face of the second master, Terry replied casually, which finally made the uneasy second master put his mind at ease, and the steps under his feet became a lot lighter, but the second master did not notice that the corners of Terry's mouth hooked a strange arc when he said this.
Of course, Terry couldn't let go of this heinous fellow, but he didn't lie, and Terry really wouldn't kill this guy at this time, because it would be too cheap for him.
Thinking of the mass grave behind Mingguang Castle, and thinking of the coolies and women in the dungeon, Terry looked at the back of the second master, and his eyes were full of malice.
Half an hour later, when the faint sound of running water reached everyone's ears, the cracks in the ground began to slowly light up.
This is the bank of a river, and the end of the crack is just under a dirt slope on the side of the river, and the dense vines and shrubs cover almost the entire hole, and without special attention, it is impossible for anyone passing by here to find that there is a crack that leads to the ground.
Combined with the explanation of the second master and the location in their memory, Terry and the others understood that this was a small rift valley about five or six kilometers away from Mingguang Fort.
"General, this is the south side of the basin, and it is more than ten kilometers away from Sean's preset ambush position, and it is not too easy to walk."
Turning sideways out of the crack, Terry climbed the dirt slope and observed for a few minutes, waiting for him to determine the approximate location before coming down to report to Major General Oprah.
"Well, it's a bit far away, but after such a long time, I'm afraid Sean and they have already acted, and we don't help in the past...... Hopefully they don't lose much. β
Indeed, three or four hours have passed from the previously scheduled time, and if Sean and the others carry out their actions according to the plan, it is estimated that even the battle will be over at this time, thinking of the formidable Imperial troops, Major General Oprah's eyes are full of worry.
"General, if you don't do this, go about five or six kilometers north, I know there is a safer place there, General, you take someone there to rest first, I am relatively fast, let me go alone to find Major Davis and them, and then come back to join everyone."
Although Terry didn't know the origin of the Imperial force, he probably understood Major General Oprah's concern at this time, so he made his own suggestion.
"Well, kid, just listen to you. But be careful yourself, and if you can't do anything, and put your own safety first, we'll be waiting for you where you are. β
Major General Opral obviously accepted Terry's proposal, after all, in the current situation, if his own people follow the past, not only can they not be a help, but may become a burden to Terry.
After telling the Major General's guards the location in detail, Terry said goodbye to the Major General again, stepped on the snow on the ground, and disappeared into the dense forest on the bank of the river.
As for the sad second master, of course he was still alive at this time, but he preferred to die himself, because after Terry got out of the cave, he had already told the guards to tie him up, and told him in a mocking tone that you would be a member of the glorious revolution in the future, and all of everyone's stinky socks would be covered by you.
