Chapter 115: Cold Storage
I immediately stopped my movements.
After staring at it for a long time, he made sure that there was indeed light, and then whispered with some excitement: "Hey, everyone! In the front, the gap in the front ventilation duct seems to have light shining through! ā
"IāI'm going? Really, really, fakely? When Zhang Qiang heard this, he was also a little excited, and he asked in a low voice.
"Really!" I nodded, and cautiously took a few steps forward to make room for my teammates behind me.
They climbed to where I was and saw the light.
"Is there someone down there?" Wang Yi spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know, we don't even know where this is right now." Du Deming shook his head.
As everyone was talking, I felt a chill come up from my legs.
I subconsciously frowned: "Do you feel particularly cold here?" ā
"When you say that, it does seem to be a lot colder than just now." Du Deming was also a little surprised.
"Don't think about it so much, let's see what's going on down there!" I thought about it for a moment and spoke to the others.
After saying that, without waiting for the others to react, I climbed forward a few steps, and then directly pressed my eyes to the nearest gap.
When the others saw this, they also distanced themselves from each other, and they leaned close to the gap as I did.
Through a gap of about a centimeter, I could see the general situation below.
Here, it seems to be a cold storage.
As for what is refrigerated, it is not clear now.
I was secretly surprised, no wonder everyone felt that the temperature had dropped a lot just now, I see.
There are lights underneath, and unlike the dim and dim lights of the children's dormitories, here they are incandescent lamps.
The bright white light stings the eyes of the people.
The cold storage is lined with shelves, and on the shelves there seem to be jars sealed with black plastic sheeting, and it is impossible to see what is inside.
The longer you stay here, the more chilly it feels.
Just as I was hesitating whether to move on, there was a movement in the doorway of the room below.
When a few of us heard the sound, we immediately fell silent.
Six pairs of eyes peered down through the gap.
Seconds later, the door to the cold storage was opened from the outside.
Three men dressed in lab coats like the ones who had sent us to the cell had walked in.
The last person to come in pushed a cart in.
It's the kind of cart that is common in hospitals, where medical supplies are stored, and on top of it is a large medicine box-like thing.
Just when I was wondering what was inside, the person below suddenly spoke.
"Hey, this one failed again today. This success rate is too low, it's really not cost-effective! One of them, a thin white coat, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had done something very hard before entering here.
"Say less! lest the time come to you too to suffer. Another, slightly older man glared at him.
"You two don't talk about it." A third, slightly chubby white coat interrupted the conversation.
He was so cold that he subconsciously clasped his hands, and looked around the cold storage with a strange expression: "Let's put things away and leave, I always feel weird here." ā
The older white coat smiled at him: "You've done everything, are you still afraid of this?" ā
"Old Zhou, don't say it yet." The thin white coat glanced at the slightly older man: "I seem to feel this way today, let's leave as soon as we finish putting our things!" I'll have something else going on in a moment! ā
The doctor named Lao Zhou stopped talking when he heard this.
The three of them began to push the cart to the shelves in the first row in silence, opened the boxes on the cart, put on white gloves, and slowly opened the third jar in the first row.
From our vantage point, we couldn't see what they had put down, except for the faint sound of something like falling into the water.
After a minute or so, the skinny white coat resealed the jar, then took out the pen hanging from his chest pocket and wrote something on the top label of the jar.
Then he put the jar back in its place.
"Alright, the mission is complete, let's go!" After finishing speaking, the slightly chubby white coat walked straight to the door.
"Look at his cowardice." The thin doctor pointed to his back and said, but his body also subconsciously walked quickly to the door.
The man named Lao Zhou looked at the backs of the two of them leaving quickly, snorted coldly, and then pushed the cart out of the cold storage.
With a few metallic sounds, the door closed again.
A few of us waited with bated breath for several minutes to make sure that no one would come in from outside, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, there seems to be a situation below, should we go and take a look?" I thought for a moment and asked with some hesitation.
"I, I don't object, yes, but you, what do you want...... Go down? Zhang Qiang sighed as he lay on the ventilation pipe with a tangled expression.
However, at this moment, Zhang Qiang's position was where he heard a faint click.
I was stunned, as if I had thought of something.
was about to speak, but Zhao Qiqi took the first step to speak: "I know!" ā
The rest of the group fell silent and waited for her to continue speaking.
Zhao Qiqi didn't answer first, she continued to speak: "The rest of us, with Zhang Qiang as the center, each retreated seven or eight steps to the left and right. ā
When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly did it.
Zhang Qiang looked suspicious and was about to ask, but Zhao Qiqi looked at him.
"Zhang Qiang, with your ability, you should be able to see that the steel plate under your leg can be moved." Zhao Qiqi reminded.
After listening to her words, Zhang Qiang suddenly realized.
Zhang Qiang's attention was always below just now, and he didn't notice this problem at all.
At this moment, Zhang Qiang looked down again at the steel plate under his leg.
He reached out to lift the steel plate, but no matter how hard he tried, the thing didn't move.
His eyes rolled, and suddenly his eyes moved.
"I, I know!" He whispered excitedly.
Under the close attention of everyone, Zhang Qiang leaned over again, turned on the light, and squinted at the gap in the steel plate for a long time.
Finally, in the middle of the steel plate, he saw a small curved wire. The wire is hidden so much that if you are not careful, you will not be able to find it in such an environment.
He took a step back, grabbed the wire, and jerked the plate back.
All I heard was a long rattle.
Then, a bright light spilled in from below.
Zhang Qiang successfully pulled the baffle of the vent open.
Since there was a set of shelves in front of us, only about 30 centimeters from the vent, we easily climbed down from the top after getting used to the light below.
A few of us rubbed our hands together as the temperature became low, and we looked around curiously.
I turned my head, my eyes stayed on the shelves, looking at the cans that were sealed one by one, and a feeling of emotion rose in my heart.
Frowning slightly.
What's in there?
While thinking like this in his heart, his body subconsciously walked over there.
