Bai Ye carefully inspected the waterwheel.

He noticed that the shaft of the waterwheel was connected to several chains, and at the other end of the chain was a heavy gate with a set of gears directly above the gate.

To inspect the gears, you had to go up to the second floor of the mill, and the stairs up were erected on the outer wall of the mill.

Bai Ye continued to inspect the table with rotten flesh.

He found a wooden crank in the corner of the table.

【Crank for adjusting gates】

[Type: Common sundries]

[Weight: 30]

[Introduction: When you find a socket that matches it, you will understand what it does.] 】

The introduction of this prop is a mystery again, and it is a mystery to be solved.

Bai Ye didn't care so much, grabbed the crank, and came to the gate of the mill.

"This door is locked from the inside!"

A latch can be seen in the upper left corner of the door, and the reason why the door cannot be pushed open from the outside is because the latch inside has been inserted.

Bai Ye opened the latch and gently opened the door through a gap.

This process did not alarm the caretaker outside, who turned his back to the mill and looked in the direction of the cornfield.

Bai Ye crouched down and walked, smoothly drilled out of the gap, and walked to the stairs on the side of the mill under the cover of shadows.

The process of going upstairs is relatively smooth, and there are two places where there are a few steps missing, and if you are not careful, you will make a noise to attract the caretaker.

After going up to the second floor, there is no handrail at the end of the corridor outside, so it seems that you can jump directly from there and return to the first floor.

Entering the room on the second floor, there was nothing but the set of gears installed.

At this time, the power icon in the upper right corner of the DV display turned red and kept flashing, indicating that the power of Bai Ye's DV machine was about to run out.

Bai Ye turned off the night shooting function of the DV, and his eyes were immediately shrouded in darkness, as if his eyes were covered by a black cloth.

"You have to use night shooting, otherwise you can't see anything."

He took out the battery and put it on the DV machine, turned it back on for night shooting, and then switched to a concentrated state to check the set of gears.

Perhaps Bai Ye's contemplation posture was of a relatively high level, and a light stroke immediately appeared on the gear.

The position of the stroke was a jack, Bai Ye leaned over one end of the crankshaft, and the crankshaft smoothly snapped into the jack.

Next, he stood on the side of the crankshaft, grasped the crankshaft handle with both hands, and began to shake the crankshaft vigorously.

Click...... Click......

The gears began to drag the gate on the first floor and made a loud noise.

The sound immediately attracted the attention of the guards outside.

"Outsiders are hiding here!"

He yelled in the direction of the cornfield, then ran towards the stairs with his torch in hand.

“…… Is it bound to alarm the Keepers here? ”

It seemed that it would not work to sneak over, so Bai Ye simply let go of his hands and feet and shook the crank with all his strength.

The gears spun faster, and the gate on the first floor was raised at an even faster rate.

Gada!

When the crank was stuck and could not be shaken, the gate on the first floor had been raised to the top.

The 'whooshing sound' from the rotation of the waterwheel below also gradually subsided.

At the same time, there was a dull and hurried footstep in the corridor outside, and the caretaker had climbed up to the second floor.

Bai Ye had just walked to the exit of the room at this time, and was blocked by the other party, and it was impossible to take the stairs back to the first floor.

"I can't help it."

He immediately switched to an 'active stance' and was ready to be tough.

The caretaker was a thin man in his forties with a twisted and fanatical expression.

He wore oil-stained repairman's overalls and carried a torch in one hand and a machete in the other.

"Kill the Outsiders!"

As soon as he met Bai Ye, he swung his knife and slashed up.

Bai Ye turned sideways to avoid it, and saw the opportunity to reach out and grab the opponent's wrist, wanting to unload the opponent's weapon first.

But the other party didn't look like an ordinary person at all, and at the same time that Bai Ye grabbed his wrist, he actually directly lifted a kick and kicked Bai Ye's stomach.

This kick was ferocious, and because the distance was too close and the corridor was too narrow, Bai Ye couldn't avoid it, and was kicked to the ground.

His health also dropped by 25%.

"What is this?! Elite monsters? Small bosses? ”

The caretaker is obviously an ordinary villager on the surface, but the combat power that erupts is at the level of a small boss, which greatly surprised Bai Ye.

"I'll dig out your heart and feed it to the dogs!"

The villagers of the boss template screamed strangely, and stabbed their knives at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye hurriedly supported his body with his hands and retreated, and the knife was thrust into the floor between his legs, and the attack failed again.

"There's no chance of winning, let's run."

Taking advantage of the gap between the guards drawing their knives, Bai Ye got up from the floor and ran towards the end of the corridor.

Although the height of the second floor of the mill was only three or four meters, after Bai Ye jumped from it, he still suffered a 25% health reduction.

After dropping back to 50% health, the wound on his calf began to bleed out again, and he limped in his walking position.

"God is watching you, and you have no way to escape."

The demon reform villager was clearly strong and physically strong, but he didn't choose to jump down with Bai Ye after chasing him to the end of the corridor.

He stood on the second floor and muttered, then turned around, and actually planned to take the stairs back to the first floor.

"Well, it is estimated that their 'strong combat power' will only take effect when fighting the player, and under normal circumstances, they will become ordinary people."

Therefore, in this game, the system indirectly limits the player's combat ability, so that they can only be forced to flee and cannot return to the rigid ......

The other searchers in the cornfield began to surround the mill, and the sound of cursing and rubbing the corn leaves became dense.

Bai Ye limped into the first floor of the mill, closed the door and plugged in the latch.

The caretaker who was walking the stairs then threw himself on the door and began to bang on it vigorously.

The door made the sound of fragile wood cracking, and it was estimated that it would not last a few hits.

Bai Ye turned his head and noticed that the waterwheel had stopped rotating, and the drainage hole behind the waterwheel was also exposed.

He leaned down and crawled into the drain hole.

Boom!

Just as he was halfway through the drain hole, the door was kicked down by the guards.

Seeing that Bai Ye wanted to run, the caretaker rushed forward, reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's right ankle, trying to drag him back in.

"Get out!"

Bai Ye held the outer edge of the drainage hole with his hand, raised his left foot and kicked it hard at the warden's distorted and fanatical ugly face.

A kick didn't work, and the keeper's hand on Bai Ye's ankle seemed to be tightened like an iron hoop.

“MD！”

Bai Ye rarely burst into a foul mouth.

He has now entered a super state of adrenaline secretion, and his manipulation of his body has surpassed ordinary people.

This kick was adjusted by him, and he allocated more strength, and the end was strong and heavy.

Tong!

A kick hit the caretaker in the face, directly kicking the bridge of the opponent's nose.

Under the pain, the hand that was holding Bai Ye's ankle finally loosened a lot.

Bai Ye took the opportunity to crawl outside the drainage hole, and finally climbed through the drainage hole and came to the outside of the barbed wire.
