Chapter 443: Ancient Buildings (9)
Walking through the narrow passage, the water droplets dripping from time to time on the top of the heads of the three of them made Li You take a few more looks.
The water pipe, which had been corroded to the point of being decent, could still hear the sound of liquid flowing inside, and Li You couldn't help but stop and take a few more looks.
"What are you looking at?" As Ellie walked, she couldn't hear the footsteps behind her, and she couldn't help but look back.
"What's going on with this pipe?"
Ellie shook her head, gently tugged at Rifle's sleeve, and then walked quickly to Li You's side, "I found that you have a lot of problems, this is the sewer pipe, it is very likely to be connected to the pipe of the building above, I advise you to keep your mouth shut." ”
Li You was still a little thirsty, but when he heard that it was a sewer pipe, he hurriedly closed his mouth and moved a step towards the wall.
"It's good that you said it early", Li You thought about the few friends hiding in the superstructure, and he didn't know what their situation was now, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the stairs at the end.
The water pipe goes some distance to the front of the staircase and goes directly into the wall, so the staircase begins to dry out gradually.
According to Ellie, this is the original building. There are four floors, two floors below, and two floors above not counting the attic.
If it is the same as the building on the ground, the difference between the top and bottom is at least nearly forty or fifty meters, such a big project, didn't the Elle family know when they bought this place?
In the face of Li You's doubts, Ellie gave a reasonable explanation.
This house, in fact, is not bought by Ellie's family, it should be from his great-grandfather's generation.
However, before Ellie's father was born, his great-grandparents died. Grandparents, who died when Ellie was born.
To put it bluntly, the only person who knows the most about this building now is Uncle Fu.
But from the time Li You asked Ellie about this, Laifu walked without saying a word, as if he was avoiding something. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are all complicated.
"I only found out about such a place after I was arrested, and I was scared at first, but then it got better. Uncle Laifu said that the reason why he built a house on top of the house was actually just accidental. After the Big Bang, no one knows where it is, and that's fate. ”
Ellie said as she walked up the stairs.
The difference between the upper and lower floors seems to be small, but when he really walks up the stairs, Li You understands that people in the past can really study. Such a short distance always made him feel that time passed quickly.
When he got out of the stairs, he felt sweaty. was blown by the occasional wind blowing through the hall, and the whole person was full of energy.
"It's the basement floor, I've been here a lot," Ellie saw the bottles and cans on the floor, slowly walked around, and stopped in front of the nearest door.
"This is the study, some distance ahead, it's the laboratory, and then you can see the sealed iron door around the corner."
Li You gently pushed open the sunken door, and after the squeaking of the hinge stopped, the scene inside was fully revealed.
It is said to be a study, but in fact there is only a bookshelf and a solid wood desk.
The rat droppings that can be seen everywhere on the table are scattered one by one, and some of them are covered with white mold, which looks very weird.
Li You was going to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Ellie, who said that there was basically nothing in it, and that if you wanted to visit, you could go to the laboratory, where there were still many things.
"There won't be any monsters, bacteria or anything like that, I've seen it before."
What happened in a strange lighthouse before, Li You still has a chill down his spine now thinking about it. But seeing that Ellie was not nervous, she was also a lot more relaxed.
Walking past the dusty ground, the walls where the cobwebs hung were much cleaner.
In 1930, when Li You thought of this year, he couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic. It was a time of war, and no part of the earth was peaceful.
Being able to be a nobleman with peace of mind, and having the mind to be busy in the laboratory, means that this place must have been very remote at that time.
"You're wrong, in terms of the location in the field, this should be ...... Should be...... Eh, Uncle Laifu, what kind of place is this? ”
Rifle learned that Ellie insisted on taking Li You to visit the laboratory, and quickly pushed the door open, "This was originally near Warsaw, and in those days, it could be described as a dilemma. ”
Warsaw? Li You's mind had been empty, but when he heard the name, he suddenly thought that this place seemed to be on the border of the Soviet Union.
One end is **, the other end is the Soviet Union, and it is very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
"That's right, I remember writing on the last page of the diary, I wish there was no war in heaven. So I guess this nobleman died at the hands of one of them. ”
The two of them chatted and walked into the laboratory, which was different from what Li You had seen before, and it looked very simple. But the ground is not at the same level as the corridor and the study.
Here, the floor is even laid.
Although some places have been stolen by rats, the overall is still intact. Stepping on it, it creaked and made a screeching sound, which made Li You inevitably get goosebumps.
Most of the experimental equipment is handmade, either wood or finger-thick iron tendons, which is full of age.
Seeing this scene, he didn't have to worry about any accidents. With just a few beaker test tubes, he can research a deadly virus, unless he is a magician.
On the two wooden tables, full of bottles and cans, Li You casually opened a lid and sniffed with the fan he learned in chemistry class to tell what was inside.
After Ellie saw his action, she smiled and said, "It's formalin inside, most of it is formalin, except for the corner of the wall, there are two cans of acid, maybe sulfuric acid or nitric acid, I can't ask." ”
"No labels?"
"Yes, but I can't see clearly", Ellie walked over cautiously and pointed to Li You, "That's it, there's a bottle of slimy liquid on the side, I don't know what it is." ”
"I'll see." After Li You finished speaking, he walked over quickly. I walked past the second table and accidentally bumped into a jar.
He reflexively picked it up with his hand, and before he could touch the bottle, Ellie suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, "Don't take it!" ”
Li You's mind spun quickly, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand again, and quickly took a step back. The bottle "snapped" and shattered.
The liquid in it is also jumping everywhere. When Li You saw this, his eyes suddenly widened, not because of his carelessness, but because there was a purple-blue palm in the broken bottle on the ground.
Ellie walked up to him, looked at the ground with him, and then whispered to Li You, "I've seen this hand before, and I don't know if it's human." ”
"Five fingers, it should ...... Right. Li Youmao bent his waist and looked at it carefully, but before he could see the reason, he smelled a strong pungent smell.
He subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and said vaguely: "I don't want to know if it's a human hand, I just want to know whose hand it is." ”
After hearing the sound of the bottle breaking, Laifu also walked in quickly, looked at the hands on the ground, and sighed helplessly, "Let's not delay time, let's get out of here." ”
"Wait a minute, I want to see what's in the bottle over there." Li You hadn't forgotten what had just happened, and hurriedly walked towards the corner.
Laifu stood at the door, his head turning back and forth, and said impatiently: "That bottle should be nitroglycerin, don't pick it up, it will explode." ”
