Chapter 25: The Lost Passage (1)

Under the scrap valley, there was silence, so quiet that only the bursting of bubbles made by the scrap as it corroded could be heard. Suddenly, a bright light swept by, and we immediately ducked back, hiding in the darkest and hardest place to find. We leaned side by side with each other, so quiet that we could hear each other's heartbeats. At this time, Fleur whispered.

"Lao Xu, look at the good things you have done!"

"Captain...... I know wrong...... What should we do now?" asked Lao Xu embarrassedly.

"What can I do, I can't go now!" said Fleur angrily.

"I know how to get there, three-three-six, do you have a big pipe here, which is used to drain waste!" Gu Chengzi said suddenly.

"Yes. That pipe is the lead. Three-three-six replied.

"Needless to say, I know that you are taking us there now. ”

"Okay. Please follow me. ”

"Chengzi, are you sure?" asked Lao Xu uncertainly.

"I'm sure, come with me. ”

While dodging the glare that swept over our heads, we followed 336 around for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a huge pipe mouth. Gu Chengzi pointed to the mouth of the pipe, and then explained to us that this pipe was the only way out, and time was running out, so we had to get in quickly.

One by one, they tilted their heads and looked at the mouth of the pipe, and I saw it as if it was a cave mouth, and I was shocked. Could it be that this is the hole that Ali is talking about?

"Chengzi, where does this pipeline lead?" asked Lao Xu.

"I'm not afraid to scare you to death if I say it. Gu Chengzi said.

"I'm not afraid, I'm scared. Lao Xu said disdainfully, sticking his waist, looking very confident.

"Lazy Town. Gu Chengzi replied coldly.

"Team team team...... Captain," Lao Xu's eyes were about to pop up, and he changed his confident appearance just now, and said to Fu Hui in a panic, "Go back to town?!

"This is the only way to do it!" Fleur frowned and said helplessly, "The plan has changed, go back to town!"

We took advantage of the darkness of the night to crawl into the mouth of the pipe in a hurry, and walked cautiously, not daring to say a word. From time to time outside, from the noise of the crowd could be heard, and guessed correctly, the lazy they had already spotted us. But how did he find out about us?

Fleur gave Lao Xu this pot to carry it, and she kept blaming him, saying that he didn't stay on it properly, otherwise he could have informed us earlier. Indeed, if Lao Xu is above, we will have enough time to prepare, and we will not let our current situation be too much worse than predicted.

In this case, the pipeline that Gu Chengzi and 336 brought us to has become our only choice. However, if we return to the town, we will be cut off from the outside world, and at this time, if laziness catches turtles in an urn again, we will really die. No one wants to encounter this dilemma, but if it comes, let it be safe. They are all blaming Lao Xu one by one, but I always feel that there is something strange in it, is laziness really discovering us?

336 helped us close the valve of the pipeline outside, and suddenly there was no light in the pipe. Mo Qingyan released his small ball of light, but after using it for a period of time before, the small ball of light was no longer as bright as it had just been. At the same time, the pipeline is different from the scrap valley, the scrap valley has 336 robots helping to tidy up and clean, which places should not go, which road is easy to walk, it is clear, and this pipeline has all kinds of mechanical waste, the chemical corrosivity and radiation inside are several times higher than the outside, the farther we go, the more the protective clothing on the body reminds us - its blocking function is decaying. Even our gloves have begun to rot, and the bracelets are gradually turning crimson. This pressure forces us to move faster and faster. Gu Chengzi reminded us that we had to rush to Lazy Town before the mechanical waste was discharged in the morning.

As we got deeper, I felt a tingling sensation in the skin on my arm and started to smell a pungent sour smell, only to notice that my bracelet was constantly flashing and a red light was on. Mo Qingyan and Fu Hui saw that the situation was not good, and when they came to check, they found that my device had a scratch of a few centimeters, and the liquid inside was gushing out.

"Oh no, when the hell did this get it?" Fleur asked anxiously.

"I ...... I don't know. "I can't really remember when I got it.

"There is so much nanomaterial flowing out of it, I'll give you mine first. Without saying a word, Fleur was about to take out the device on her body, and I quickly pressed her hand.

"Sister Fleur, no, you can use it yourself. ”

"No, if you go on like this, the protective suit will fail, do you want to die here?"

"I ......"

"Fleur, stop. Joan, you use mine. Gu Chengzi walked over and stood in front of Fu Hui.

"What's there to grab here, get out of here. Fleur shoved him away.

"No, you have more important things to do, and I'm a rotten person by comparison, and it's not worth mentioning that I'm dead. ”

"You!"

Before Fu Hui could stop it, Gu Chengzi took down his device without hesitation, and his bracelet instantly sounded a danger signal. But when he put his hand on my chest, he stopped for a few seconds, and the two of us looked at each other, and I only felt as if my face was hot and numb from the heat. But before I could speak, he broke my device with one hand and swapped them for both of us. In an instant, the pungent sour smell disappeared, and my breathing became smoother. Fu Rui shook her head angrily and walked away, and walked to the front of the team, Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan supported Gu Chengzi and followed behind. Gu Chengzi took out a piece of adhesive tape and stuck it tightly to the leaking place of the device, presumably he is very uncomfortable now, which makes my heart really too uneasy.

After we had walked for a while, we finally saw the light, and we walked over with even more urgency. But when we got there, we found that it was not the end, but a fork in the roadβ€”five pipes in front of us. We all turned our heads to Gu Chengzi, but he also scratched his head and shook his head hideously, in his dream, he didn't touch this fork.

"Chengzi, how should we go?" asked Lao Xu.

"I don't know! I don't remember this fork!"

"Hehe, it's really not reliable at all. Fleur said coldly.

"Anyway, there's always one way to the town, why don't we all try it again?" said Lao Xu helplessly.

"Try it all over, how can we have so much time!Don't you see how closely the men behind you are chasing!" Fleur said angrily.

"I ......" Gu Chengzi lowered his head in shame.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, you're all arguing, how to think of a way. Gu Chengzi, think about it again, in your dreams, have you really never encountered this fork in the road?" I saw them like this, and walked over to persuade them.

"Joan, thank you, in fact, I was also very vague in that dream, how should I go, I ...... I really can't remember. ”

"That's ......"

My brain was racing, imagining different approaches, different possibilities, but the end result was that we ran out of time and were caught by laziness. At this critical moment, an idea popped up in my mind, Gu Chengzi said that he didn't see which way to go clearly, so did the other person see clearly?

"Gu Chengzi, you ...... Can you sleep now?"

"Huh, sleeping, here?" Gu Chengzi looked at me incredulously.

"Xiao Qiong, what kind of play are you doing?" Lao Xu also interjected suspiciously.

"Uh-huh, just sleep here. ”

"How are you sleeping here, are you kidding?" Gu Chengzi's eyes were full of doubts.

β€œ......”

"Little girl, do you want to ......" Mo Qingyan's eyes suddenly widened, as if he was thinking of me.

"Yes, if he's asleep......"

"Huh, what the hell are you thinking?" Gu Chengzi said anxiously beside him.

"Haha, that's easy to do. ”

Mo Qingyan rubbed his wrist and walked slowly towards Gu Chengzi, Gu Chengzi was already a little prostration, he took two steps back in a daze, and almost sat on the ground. Lao Xu glanced at our faces, and ran to the back of Gu Chengzi and held him with his hand. Mo Qingyan smiled evilly, and hit Gu Chengzi's neck with a wave of his right hand, Gu Chengzi immediately fainted, and Lao Xu drove him with his hand behind his back.

"Little girl, is this really okay?" asked Mo Qingyan.

"How do I know!"

"You don't know, why do you want to make people stunned?" exclaimed Lao Xu in surprise.

"Don't you understand? Old Xu, the little girl is looking for someone to help. Mo Qingyan shook his head and sighed.

"Get someone to help? Oh, you mean the guy in the city's body. ”

"Yes! It may be more useful to find him now than Gu Chengzi! Ali! Ali! Are you there?"

Gu Chengzi fell asleep in Lao Xu's arms, but no matter how I called, he didn't respond. At this moment, we heard a loud noise behind us, it seems that the lazy they have broken down the door, and it is really too late if we don't hurry up.

"Ali, Ali, we need you, come out quickly!"

......

"Heh~"

I anxiously grabbed Gu Chengzi's shoulders and shook him hard, but I didn't want to shake him awake, it was Ali who I wanted to shake awake! Suddenly, he opened his eyes, gasped, and stood up straight. He turned his head to look around, caressing his body in a panic, then covered his mouth with his hand and looked at me intently.

"Little girl, it's really you, where are we?"

"Ali! You've figured it out! Come and see, do you know each other here?"

"Where is this?" Ali looked around, but still couldn't make out where it was.

"Do you remember? In Gu Chengzi's consciousness at that time, which way did he take you?"

"Ahh

"You don't care about that, do you remember how he took you there?"

"I'll see. Which of the five paths did he take?"

"Uh-huh, which way did he go?"

"This ...... I couldn't remember it for a moment. ”

"Ah, Ali, don't worry, think again. I could only be anxious on the sidelines, not daring to urge him, for fear of interrupting his train of thought.

He ...... At that time, it seemed that I had turned a corner, and it was not a big turn, which way did it turn? left, right, left!"

"Ali, whether it's left or right, think about it again. ”

"On the left! I remembered, it was the one, it scared me to death at that time, and almost knocked me against the wall!" Ali pointed to the second nozzle and looked at me with affirmative eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

We immediately walked towards the second outlet, and although Ali came out to show us the way, our hearts still did not have a bottom. The noise behind him is getting louder and louder, and if you make a mistake this time, there is really no turning back.

"Little girl, why do you suddenly want to go back to town?"

"That's a long story, I'll tell you more when I have time. ”

"What are you going back to do this time?"

"We don't want to go back, it's so sudden that we have no choice but to go back. ”

"Well, can you help us get our bodies back?"

"I don't know, we're going to have to find a way out when we get to town. ”

"Are you in such a hurry?

"Ali, let's hurry first. ”

"Okay......"

Fu Hui and I walked faster and faster, Ali said a lot at first, but after walking for a while, he collapsed like Gu Chengzi, the color of his bracelet had turned purple, Lao Xu carried him on his back, Mo Qingyan supported him behind, and we ran towards the end together.

It didn't take long for us to literally run to the end of the pipe, with an iron fence in front of us. At this time, Mo Qingyan took out a pen and drew a circle on the iron fence, and a circle was separated from it. After we all got out, Mo Qingyan put the circle on the ground back again, and it was miraculously restored.

We're back in Lazy Town.

The town of Laziness at night was even quieter than in the pipes just now, there was no sound of insects chirping and birds chirping, so quiet that it seemed as if there was only the sound of time passing, there seemed to be but there was none. The five of us crouched outside the walls of a room, one by one, walking forward, neither of us daring to speak, for fear of breaking the quiet night sky. But where are we going now?

Lao Xu and Fu Hui exchanged fiercely with gestures, as if they were quarrelling, and in the end Fu Hui still listened to Lao Xu's opinion. So, Lao Xu walked in front and led us to turn east and west. It's strange that there are no guards patrolling the town, are they all going to the Valley of Scrap Weapons? Finally, we stopped in a very secret corner, Lao Xu pointed to the ground, and Fu Hui and Mo Qingyan walked over. At first, I thought that the three of them were going to discuss something, but I didn't expect that they were squatting on the ground and digging the soil with their hands. Ali and I thought they were too strange, but we didn't say anything, so we had to crouch at the intersection and keep an eye on them.

Ever since he came out of the pipe, Ali had been breathing as if he were liberated, but his attention was not on where we were going, but on the tall building in the center of Lazy Town. Lazy Town is basically a two- or three-story house with a small courtyard outside, and only that one building is more than a dozen stories high, which stands out extraordinarily. He looked at the tall building and looked at it, his brow furrowed as if he was thinking about something. What was Ali thinking? I didn't ask, I just paid attention to him silently, for fear that he would suddenly slip away, he could slip away, but don't take Gu Chengzi away. For some reason, I always felt a little uneasy.

"Are you okay? What are you doing?"

"Shh......hhhh

They were still digging into the soil, as if they were going to dig something out of the soil. After a while, they finally dug something out of the dirt. I walked over and saw that it was a golden pen with some dirt on it. Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan grabbed one end and slowly took out the pen, and Fu Hui took out the Zhuang Zhou box from the bag at the same time. Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan slowly put the pen into the box, and Fu Yuan gently closed the box. In this way, this Zhuang Zhou box turned out to be like a pen case, and this golden fountain pen is simply a set.

Fleur put Zhuang Zhou's box back in her bag, sighed, and instructed us to follow her next, and she was going to take us to an important place.
