The faint glow of the flashlight in my hand illuminated the road ahead, and the old-fashioned flashlight in front of me was given to me by Qinglong at the station.

And I don't have the spare money to buy batteries, and if the flashlight goes out, Suchak and I will be completely in the dark.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little afraid, in a sealed underground environment, the most afraid is that there is no light source.

But looking at the way he was familiar with the road, it seemed that he had been to this place many times.

Everywhere the flashlight illuminated, there were bones left behind by the Japanese army, some of them wearing steel helmets and some holding rusty bayonets.

But it's basically rotten.

I couldn't help but start to speculate, what was the purpose of those little devils digging underground fortifications in the mountains of Xiangxi back then?

Following the light in front of me, the dimly lit tunnel came to an end, and an iron gate covered in rust and marked with Japanese was clearly visible.

The round doorknob on it is clearly branded with the handprints of five fingers, as if someone opened it not long ago.

I just wanted to take out the short knife I carried with me, but I didn't expect Suchak next to me to wave his hand and signal me not to be so nervous, this fingerprint was left by him not long ago.

After turning the doorknob, an extremely screeching sound accompanied by a crack in the iron door was broken open by the two of us.

The scene inside instantly made me understand the intention of those little devils to dig underground fortifications here back then.

Next to the iron gate was a very old diesel generator, but Suchak turned the rocker a few times to start this decades-old generator normally.

In addition to the harsh and restless voice, the scene around me was instantly illuminated by the electric light hanging from the roof of the shed, and I couldn't open my eyes for a while.

It was only when I turned off the flashlight that I used to get used to the dim light above my head that I saw the railroad tracks and the black minecart on top of me.

In this narrow unknown tunnel, the railroad tracks lead to the end of darkness, leading to infinite reverie.

The rails were covered with interlocking minecarts, and as the dim lights overhead lit up, something seemed to glow with copper in the black-painted minecart cars.

Suchak ran first, and I followed, as the body was littered with rocks and worn artifacts.

The bronze light just now was the luster of a bronze wine cup from the Yuan Dynasty hidden in the cracks in the stone.

There are many more in the bodies of such ancient artifacts, but all of them are badly damaged, and even mixed with unidentified wood chips.

I couldn't help but pick out a black piece of wood chips from the body, and it had a strange but familiar smell that made me think of something for a moment.

It seems that this group of little devils seemed to have found minerals in the mountains of Xiangxi, so they worked so hard to dig mines.

They accidentally came across many ancient tombs buried in the mountains, and they brought out all the artifacts in the ancient tombs.

The wood chips emitted a disgusting smell of corpses, which should be broken coffin boards.

This time I finally knew what Suchak was referring to by the secret base, but he didn't seem to have any idea of it.

I just want to find a good-looking artifact in the minecart and try my luck at the station or bus.

Looking at the deep cave in front of me, where it leads, the dim lights gradually brighten up from near to far, I can't help but feel some indescribable fear.

The two of us pondered whether or not to continue inside, and he couldn't help frowning a little when he heard my words, apparently he had stopped here the few times he had been here.

Never explored in depth.

At the moment, there were few treasures in the minecart that were too complete, and he couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to go deeper.

At this moment, the diesel generator, which was constantly making noise behind him, actually stopped rotating inexplicably, and the light above his head was completely extinguished after a few flickering moments.

The entire mine tunnel was instantly plunged into dead silence and darkness.

This sudden turn of events apparently frightened Suzak and me, and he couldn't help but muttering to himself that although this machine was very old, it had never malfunctioned a few times when he came here.

I don't know what's going on today, why the fire suddenly went out.

Listening to his self-talk, I instantly had an ominous premonition in my heart, recalling the days when I was looking for Yin Zhu in the underground fortifications of the Japanese army.

In the dim underground world, he has encountered many strange things that are difficult to explain scientifically, as well as the undead products left over from those biochemical experiments.

Just as Suchak turned to restart the generator that had been turned off, a strange detail caught his attention.

There was an extremely strange footprint in the dim light, and these obvious footprints were not visible when we entered the iron gate.

How could such a strange thing happen after the tunnel was plunged into darkness?

I couldn't help but grab Suchak, and then I said the worry in my heart, I always felt that something was not quite right here.

For example, the footprints on the ground spread from the dark depths of the tunnel in the opposite position, and the sudden failure of the generator in front of me made me even more convinced.

There must be something strange here, so it's better to save your life and run quickly.

This time, he also felt that there was some truth in what I said, and the most important thing was that although he had been here many times, this time he was inexplicably uneasy.

I looked around vigilantly, and retreated back to the iron gate in my original footprints.

When the two of them finally returned to the tunnel, I quickly closed the heavy iron door and turned the round handle several times in a row, and then I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

By the time I returned to the forest along the tunnel, it was nearly afternoon and the sun was about to set overhead.

Suchak hurriedly led me back to the cabin.

I don't know why he was so wary of getting dark, but when I met him in the station and left, it was almost the middle of the night.

He told me softly that it was because he was driving a motorcycle, and it wasn't like the two of them were walking back on foot now.

What's more important is because there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests, and once it gets dark, those poisons will come out frantically to find prey.

I couldn't help but think back to the huge flower I encountered that night, and I couldn't help but feel a little daunted.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the cabin, Suchak actually talked about something that was a hundred times more terrifying than the giant recklessness I encountered.

He said that he has been here for nearly six years, and the encounters with poisonous snakes and giant snakes in the mountains can only be regarded as pediatrics.

Half a year ago, when he was searching in the mountains and forests, he encountered a huge monster nearly dozens of meters long, which had countless arms and vaguely looked like a centipede.

At that time, because the sky was getting dark, he encountered more than a dozen wild wolves in the mountains and forests, forcing him to keep fleeing into the mountains.

It wasn't until the wolves trapped it in an old tree that the centipede spirit that Suchak said instantly crawled out of nowhere.

The weirdest thing is that the strange creature that resembles a centipede will also let out a miserable cry like a woman.

He saw that the thing had swallowed a wild wolf alive, and the wolves fled in all directions.

He did not dare to climb down from the tree during the night, until the next morning there was only a pile of wolf bones left under the tree, and when he saw that there was no danger, he fled back to the hut in disarray, and had nightmares for several nights in a row.

In his dreams, he always encountered a strange woman who kept sneering at him, and he knew that this must be the centipede spirit warning him to return to his residence before dark, otherwise something extremely terrifying would happen.
