Chapter Twenty-Five: The Labyrinth of Tenderness
readx(); Gnady's body lay there, covered in holes, all black with glue on the edges, which immediately reminded Vladimir of the dried up vinyl he had seen.
Vladimir was conscious of what, he was holding a flashlight, looking for that weird thing that killed Gnardy, what was that? What the hell is that kind of thing that drills holes in people's bodies and leaves black colloids?
Abnormity? Such a word appeared in Vladimir's mind for a long time, and he trembled, remembering the scene in the movie, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and his hair was about to explode.
Vladimir pulled his legs and ran towards the place where he had been separated from Mikhail earlier, shouting Mikhail's name as he ran, completely forgetting that he still had a walkie-talkie with him.
In the distance, in another place, Mikhail, who was in shock, heard Vladimir's shout, and after he subconsciously responded, he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie on his waist and pressed it: "Idiot, don't you know how to use a walkie-talkie?" Be quiet! Don't worry, you'll get lost! Follow my light, I'll keep the flashlight on the hallway, you follow the light, hurry up! ”
Had it not been for Mikhail's approach, Vladimir would have been lost, because when he heard the words on the walkie-talkie, he had just run through the fork in the road with the light flickering.
When Vladimir found Mikhail, he also found Wadjit, whose body had been completely deformed and caught in the railing of a certain prison, and of course, like Gnardi, Vadjit's body had several small holes drilled with vinyl.
Vladimir watched dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "I was over there, and I found it, Gnardi's body ......"
Mikhail calmly asked: "The same way to die?" ”
Vladimir nodded: "All the same, Mikhail, there's something here, something that can turn us into a beehive, the kind of black dry glue we saw earlier, that's what was left over." ”
Mikhail looked around and tried to get close to Vadjit's body, but was caught by Vladimir.
Vladimir asked: "Hey, what do you want to do?" ”
"Just see, I've got to make sure what made him like this, some kind of monster or a human." Mikhail said seriously.
Vladimir wondered: "People? You mean? Those guys on the RED team? ”
"No, don't forget, besides us, there are other people here, those prey." Mikhail hugged the gun in his hand tightly, "That old Chinese man, maybe he just wants us to die, don't forget, we are all people with status, maybe he will blackmail our family and take a ransom or something." ”
Vladimir's face sank: "Mikhail, you are a rich man, I am not, I am a poor ghost, my parents are too, my ancestors have been poor ghosts for eight generations, I can't pay any ransom, besides, he won't want a ransom, you see, Gnardy is dead, Vadjit is also dead, he wants to kill us!" ”
"Don't get so excited, shhhhhhhhhh Do you understand? ”
Vladimir nodded vigorously and turned on the safety of the gun.
Zaraka and Sergei, who were still waiting at the crossroads, heard Vladimir's shouts from a distance, Sergei subconsciously got up, but was dragged into the cell next to him by Zaraka, signaling him to keep quiet.
After a long time, the voice stopped coming, and Zaraka subconsciously turned off his walkie-talkie and said to Sergei: "You use your walkie-talkie to call them, and tell them that I am missing, and ask them what happened." ”
Sergei quickly understood what Zaraka meant, because in this environment, trust is already very valuable, and only by putting himself in danger can he win the pity of others, plus Sergei himself is from a poor background, and he is not the same as a rich man like Zaraka, and in the eyes of Mikhailfa and Vladimir, there will also be an illusion that it is easy to manipulate.
Sergei questioned Mikhail on the walkie-talkie according to Zaraka's meaning, and when he got the news of the death of the blue group, he was surprised and asked what was going on, of course, he didn't need to disguise that surprise at all.
Mikhail asked Sergei to come to him, but he simply explained how the blue group died, and as for the details, it is necessary to wait for Sergei to come over.
Just when the communication was about to end, fierce gunshots rang out in the underground labyrinth prison, the gunfire continued, and shouts were heard from time to time, but from the sound of gunshots, the battle was unfolding in a corner of the labyrinth, who was fighting whom, they didn't know, they could only wait quietly, and they didn't dare to call each other on the walkie-talkie, for fear that it would attract the attention of the enemy.
But who is the enemy?
In the fortress, Guan Manshan could no longer see the three of Xingshu, Ma Fei and Lian Jiuqi from the surveillance, because they had already stepped out of the scope of their monitoring and penetrated into the central area of the dungeon. In fact, even Guan Manshan himself is not sure how big the dungeon below is, only that it is very large, at least the size of a football field, maybe two football fields, separated by cells, and he only came out by a rope tied to his waist.
Therefore, before entering, he did the same thing, and he tied the three longest ropes found from the Guanmanshan warehouse around his waist, and then walked into the labyrinth.
At the same time, Guan Manshan was even more puzzled, why did Guan Shengjie, Bai Boran and Qi Feng leave the fortress, and where did they go? But soon, what the three of them did filled his mind with more question marks, and when the three of them left the fortress gate, they broke the surveillance there, and then continued to search for the surveillance cameras hidden in the forest, and destroyed them one by one.
In less than an hour, Guan Manshan's monitoring left in the forest still has 6 of the most covert ones that can be used, but according to the ability of Guan Shengjie and others, it is only a matter of time before these 6 are discovered.
The point is, why are these three guys just going to sabotage the surveillance? Could it be that they will look for helpers? No, they already have no rescuers.
In the dungeon, while the torture technique was placing the rope and observing the surroundings, Ma Fei was a little worried: "What if someone cuts the rope?" ”
Xingshu said: "It depends on luck, but this kind of rope is not easy to cut, there are five layers, I have used it before, it is Israel's military technology, just such a rope is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the black market, so it is relatively safe." ”
Lian Jiuqi, who was walking in front, walked step by step, while constantly observing the dried corpses in the prison: "Ma Fei, does the method you just said work?" If the rope is gone, what do you do if you use the sensor signal to get it back? ”
Ma Fei took out the sensor: "Theoretically, it is possible, otherwise, it will be very troublesome for the sensor to be toured." This kind of thing, the US military uses a lot, they will be near the combat area, set up this kind of sensor, generally buried in the ground ten centimeters or so position, by sensing the pressure and sound of the ground to determine who is walking around the sensor. ”
"So?" Lian Jiuqi stopped and looked at Ma Fei.
Maffei explained: "So, I will put the sensor near the position where the rope is put on the head, and I also placed one at our starting point, this kind of sensor relies on the transmission signal, mainly based on plane transmission, and does not rely on satellites or anything else, so, on the same plane, as long as you turn on the receiver, you can receive the signal of the sensor, the closer the signal is, the stronger the signal, in case we get lost, we can find it back with the signal source, even if the rope is broken, we find the first sensor first, I can also get closer to the one that was placed at the starting point. ”
Torture walked backwards: "The only trouble is the battery of the sensor. ”
"Don't worry, the people who studied this thing have thought about it." Maffei picked up the sensor, "Turning it off and on can be operated within a kilometer, that is, after we put down the sensor, we can turn it off and turn it on when we need to, so that it saves a lot of power, but even so, it can not be on standby for more than a week." ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "I just hope that we don't stay in this place for more than a week. ”
Ma Fei said: "I hope so." ”
The three of them didn't walk for long, the rope of the torture technique had already been released, he tied the rope to the iron railing next to it, and tied a dead knot: "Judging from the distance of the rope, we only walked in two hundred meters, but you also saw along the way, the environment here is very complicated, if you don't use this method, just two hundred meters is enough for us to get lost, and the two hundred meters in the maze are more complicated than the two hundred kilometers outside." ”
Maffei walked into the cell, placed a sensor under the body of the dried corpse, then turned on the receiver, and after making sure that it was correct, he got up and said, "Let's go." ”
Torture examined the gun in his hand: "Do you believe there are any dragons here?" ”
Ma Fei shook his head, and Lian Jiuqi said: "I don't know, I can only say that I don't know, torture, some things are indeed inexplicable, can't be said to exist, can't be said to be non-existent, in short, that kind of thing may not be something we dare to touch at all." ”
"Okay, let's study these dried corpses first." Torture crouched down and looked at the dried corpse, "Don't you think it's strange? Some of these dried corpses were wearing armor, and some were wearing court clothes, how could the imprisoned people dress like this? And the posture before death is different, we walked all the way before, and found that some were sitting on the ground, some were sitting on the edge of chairs, and some were even leaning against the corner of the wall, which was not quite right. ”
Lian Jiuqi turned to look at the dried corpse in the opposite cell, the dried corpse was curled up in the corner, still holding his legs before he died, the table in the room had been broken off for too long, the chair next to it was still upright, the stone bed was covered with hay, and there was no other bedding or anything like that.
Torturer left the cell, walked to the next room, looked at it for a while, then walked to the next one, and then turned back again.
Maffei asked, "What did you find?" ”
Xingshu looked at Lian Jiuqi: "What about you?" What did you find? ”
"These people may have died after they were brought in, probably because of the poison, a particularly strange poison, or they were corpses before they were brought in." Lian Jiuqi shined a flashlight on the cell, "The cell is simply furnished, only the bed, table and chair, the bed is a stone bed, it should be made of local materials when the hole was dug, the table and chair are moved in, and there are other things on it, and there are no daily necessities, the strangest thing is that the dried corpses here are all wearing clothes, even if they are given dignity and let them wear court clothes and armor, but wearing such clothes for a long time, anyone will be uncomfortable, not to mention, the temperature in this dungeon is more than 20 degrees above zero, and it is not cold at all." ”
"In addition, the posture that these people maintain after death is too strange, if they are not poisoned to death, or they are dead corpses before they come in, it can't be that state, they are starved to death, they are thirsty to death, they will not be so peaceful, most of them are either lying or lying on their stomachs, it is impossible for them to curl up in the corner, or sit peacefully in chairs." ”
Lian Jiuqi nodded: "How did you die, we don't need to find out, after all, we are not looking for the murderer, but we have to figure out why this place exists, and why the knife is here, it will help us find the clear knife." ”
Ma Fei said: "Yes, they are all prisoners, how can anyone still bring a knife in?" ”
"So, that's the point we're going to figure out. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and the three of them immediately squatted down, and after distinguishing it, the torture technique looked at the south and said, "Over there, in the south." ”
After the torture was finished, he got up and slowly approached the source of the gunshot.
The three of them did not expect that on the other road next to them, Young Master Ivan and his entourage Lukiev were running frantically, rolling and crawling, but every time Lukiev fell, he would hurriedly pick up those jewelry and beads and other things and stuff them back into his pocket.
"You don't want to die!" Ivan stopped in front and looked at the greedy Lukiev.
Lukiev shook his head: "These are treasures!" Ivan, you don't need it, I need it, I'll come with you, you just give me 200,000 rubles! ”
Ivan ran back helplessly, helped Lukiev pick up the jewels, stuffed them into his backpack, and when the two of them picked up things, Lukiev saw a huge black shadow slowly moving through the passage behind Ivan, the speed was not too fast, and without strong light, it also made Lukiev distinguish that the thing was very large.
"Who?" Lukiev subconsciously raised his flashlight to shine it over, and at the same time raised the gun in his hand.
Ivan immediately turned around and aimed his gun at it, but found that there was nothing there.
"Are you dazzled?" After a long time, Ivan asked.
Lukiev shook his head: "Absolutely not, there must be something past, big, black." ”
Ivan swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Lukiev, you go over and take a look." ”
As soon as Lukiev took a step forward, he stopped: "Why should I go?" Just because you're rich? ”
"I didn't mean that!" Ivan looked helplessly at his companion, "I...... Okay, just when I have money, I'll pay for it, how about letting you go over and see? ”
Lukiev shook his head: "How much do you give?" ”
Ivan raised five fingers: "Fifty thousand." ”
"Rules?" Lukiev frowned, "Fifty thousand rubles to buy my life?" Are you kidding me! ”
After speaking, Lukiev took out a handful of jewels he found and stuffed them into Ivan's hand: "These are for you, you go!" ”
Ivan stuffed the jewel back: "Okay, let's go together, no opinion, right?" ”
Lukiev nodded, and the two walked side by side, constantly looking at their feet and watching each other's steps, for fear that they would go to the front, causing the two to move forward very strangely and funny, as if they were dancing a tango.
Finally, the two walked to the T-junction, and then leaned against the railing of the cell on the right side together, Ivan turned his head to look at Lukiev on the left, and made a "up" gesture, Lukiev subconsciously grabbed a handful of jewelry and handed it over, meaning to let Ivan go up.
Ivan rolled his eyes and subconsciously scolded: "Idiot! Just as he was about to rush out, Lukiev grabbed him, lowered his voice and asked, "You were scolding me just now?" ”
Ivan shook his head and motioned for him to let go, and Lukiev said angrily: "Don't think that if you have money, you can scold people casually, you pig with money, moth, moth pig!" ”
Ivan shook his head, pushed Lukiev away, turned around and hit something, and when he raised his eyes to look, Lukiev, who was overthrown by him, also raised his eyes to see the appearance of the thing.
The two of them were dumbfounded, and then Ivan, who was stiff, was directly swallowed by the darkness, while Lukiev sat there, watching the thing get closer and closer to him, and finally broke out into an earth-shattering scream.
"Ahh
On the other road, the three torturers stopped and looked in the direction from which the screams came, and glanced at each other at the same time.
Torture thought for a while and said: "The people in the dungeon must be separated, otherwise it would be impossible for gunshots and screams to come from both directions, I think, probably Major Ruan's group of people, and those Russian youths were attacked separately." ”
Ma Fei nodded: "Yes, it should be." ”
Lian Jiuqi didn't understand: "Maybe they have suffered?" ”
"Impossible." Ma Fei shook his head and looked in the direction where the gunfire came from, "The gunfire just now is not chaotic, it is rhythmic, it should be Major Ruan's group, if it is those young people in Russia, they must be shooting indiscriminately, it sounds very chaotic, but this kind of gunfire does not exist, so it should have encountered something else." ”
Torture Shu continued: "That scream, it doesn't sound like it has encountered someone, no matter how timid a person is, he will not encounter such a cry from the enemy, on the contrary, it is like a scream that can only be made when he encounters something extremely frightening." ”
Lian Jiuqi understood: "However, the key is what happened to them?" Why would such a scream? Major Nguyen's group of people are not ordinary people, and if it were not necessary, they would not have been able to open fire. ”
Torture nodded, looking left and right: "It seems that there really is something unknown in this prison." ”
In the fortress, when Guan Manshan looked at the black monster that was descending from the surveillance camera, the corners of his mouth rose, leaned back in the chair, and after taking a sip of wine, he said with a little regret: "You came out so early, it seems that you are really hungry." ”
