Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 28, Mysterious Data
Out of the ammunition depot, Chen Tao saw that Yang Lixuan and the others from before did not go far, but were by the wall opposite the door. There also seems to be an iron gate on the opposite wall, but there are too many vines on this side to not notice at first.
I don't know who found it, but when Chen Tao came out, several people were cleaning up the vines on the wall. The foul that had been cut by the folding shovel was dripping with the foul-smelling liquid, and despite wearing a gas mask, it was still difficult to resist the disgusting smell that came to the nose.
Soon, everyone cleaned the wall, and there was indeed an iron door under the dense vines, but this door was half-hidden and not locked. Ah Cheng and the soldier brothers stepped forward and smashed open the empty iron door, and everyone held up their flashlights to shine inside, and it was empty, and only a few broken wooden boxes were left on the ground.
This room is supposed to be a place to store ammo, but it has been moved more or less. Although there was nothing, several people went in and searched it, but found nothing.
Exiting the room, the group continued to walk deeper into the passage. There were that kind of black vines everywhere, and Chen Taoshen followed the back of the team with one foot at a shallow foot, still thinking about the bottle of things in Yang Lixuan's hand just now.
"It's a small bottle again, and it's an inexplicable potion and insects, isn't it possible that this Yang Lixuan is making medicine at home? First the bloodthirsty black worms, and now what corpse-loving Gu is popping up, and these disgusting black vines, how can there be such a seeping creature? Whatever you take out, it's enough for the old professors of biology in the school to study for decades. Looking up at the emaciated figure at the front of the line with a thick painttube and a backpack, Chen Tao thought to himself:
"Is there also a potion bottle in that paintbox?"
There was a small desertion in his head, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and he was tripped by the black vines on the ground, and threw himself directly towards the back of Haozi in front of him. Fortunately, the mountain ghost behind him was quick and grabbed Chen Tao's backpack, so he didn't lie on the ground like a dog eating.
"Damn, what are you doing, Taozi?" Feeling a sudden struggle behind him, Haozi turned to look at Chen Tao behind him.
"He just tripped over a vine." The mountain ghost said.
"Hahahaha, you're stupid!" Haozi smiled disdainfully at Chen Tao, in exchange for Chen Tao's white eyes.
"Look at the point when you walk, there are too many vines here, pay attention to your feet!" Uncle Long admonished behind him.
Stabilizing their figures, everyone continued to move forward, the passage was not very long, but the black vines around it affected people's judgment. Chen Tao looked ahead, and the flashlight was already able to shine at the end of the passage, and there seemed to be an intersection in front of him.
"There's one more question I haven't figured out." Chen Tao said: "How did they get those machines out? When we came, we only saw two passages of different ages. According to the locals, the latest one was dug by later people when they were mining, and the other is left from the ancient times I don't know when it was located. In terms of time, it is impossible for them to get out of these two roads, and when I came down before, I saw that the end of the passage behind me was blown down by a collapsing boulder, could it be that there is another road behind it? ”
"It's very likely." Yan Dao:
"I've always wondered why the newly dug mine road that those people dug later was obviously just looking for ore, but it overlapped with it again and again as if they knew the structure and layout of the ancient road, and finally dug here."
"So, what do you mean?" Uncle Long asked.
"Now it's certain that the ancient road existed before those who came after them mined, even before the underground factory, and although it is not known where it leads, it must be connected to the so-called cannibal valley."
"If I'm not mistaken, the ancient road was discovered before the miners mined it!"
"You mean, these Japanese people in the factory?" Boss Zhang said.
"Well, and they did the same thing, which was to dig along that ancient road, widen and widen it, and even, the factory we are in is actually a certain section of the ancient road!"
"So, that mine road, not two, but three! Three of a kind that coincide together! Yan snapped his fingers.
"No wonder...... In this way, it can also explain why the group of people who are mining in the back will keep digging along the ancient road. The financier who started the mining must have discovered the Japanese exit, and he came in here and found the black hedron in the rock formation. But the passage of the Japanese was not what he wanted, so in some places he dug a new way out. "Mountain ghost road.
"No, if he had come in from the other end, he would not have come in here, because the end of that road had been blocked by the Japanese bombing." Uncle Long said.
"That's why they dug into the top of the factory and tried to come in from above. Unexpectedly, in the end, the bloodthirsty black worm below exploded, and it was all explained here. Uncle Wang added.
"If all this is true, there must be a passage under this place that leads directly to the outside of the mountain, and the entrance is behind where we are down. It is also possible that it is connected to the ancient road on the left. Uncle Long said.
"I'll just say, you should go in and see that ancient road, maybe there will be some treasures in it!
Chen Tao looked at Boss Zhang not far in front of him a little speechlessly, and said in his heart, "This old fat man doesn't care about anything else, just thinking about his own life and baby, if he encounters any danger in the back, this person will definitely leave everyone and run away by himself like before!" You spicy chicken! ”
Thinking about it, several people had already reached the end of the passage. At the end is a horizontal two-way passage, and you can see that there seem to be rooms under the vines on the left and right sides of the passage.
"Left, or right, pick one!" Yan shone his flashlight on the houses on both sides and said, "Alas, I really hate to make choices. ”
"It's all the same, it's not that big here, let's start here." Uncle Long pointed to a door in the corner on the right and said, "Go in and have a look."
The door wasn't locked, but the shaft was rusty, and some black vines were creeping through the cracks. The mountain ghost used a shovel to cut off the tiny vines wrapped around the doorknob, and with a few hard pushes, the door opened.
Inside, it looked like a conference office, and you could see a large wooden table in the middle, covered with dust, and a few vines climbing up the legs. There were also two large bookcases on the walls on all sides, and the glass on one of the doors was shattered. There were also a few low boxes in the corner, and I don't know what they were used for.
Chen Tao kicked away the three or two vines at his feet, and followed Uncle Long into the door. There were a lot of waste paper papers scattered on the floor of the room, and a thick layer of dust fell on them. Uncle Long bent down and picked up a file bag. Probably because of the dampness, the document bag is a little moldy, and the part that sticks to the ground has been stuck to the ground, and as soon as you hold it, the document bag is broken, and a pile of yellowed paper falls out of it, many of which are blank.
Uncle Long pulled inside a few times, picked up two handwritten ones, and looked at them carefully with a flashlight. The writing on the paper appears to be handwritten, all in Japanese, the ink has been blurred, and the handwriting is illegible. Chen Tao and Uncle Long couldn't read Japanese, so they couldn't read what was written on it. Yan walked over and took the yellowed letter paper in Chen Tao's hand, looked at it a few times, and then squatted down and rummaged on the ground. Most of them are empty, many are yellowed and wrinkled, and they are covered with large and small mold spots.
Yan picked up a few pieces of paper and empty document bags on the ground with some vague handwriting, and got up and walked to the two large bookcases.
The door of the bookcase is ajar, and the glass on the door seems to be frosted, making it difficult to see what is inside from the outside. He opened the door of the broken glass, which was empty, and rummaged through the drawers below, which were empty.
Uncle Long next to him opened it to see another bookcase, and there were still a few pieces of paper and empty document bags thrown on the counter. Uncle Long patted off the dust on it, turned it over and saw that it was all blank.
"It seems to have been taken away." Uncle Long looked at Yan and said.
Yan gritted his teeth and said to Ah Cheng behind him: "Open those two boxes and see what's in them." ”
The box was not locked, Ah Cheng stepped forward to open the box and took a few looks, took out an empty notebook folder and a few pieces of waste paper from it, shook his head and said, "Everything is gone." ”
Stretched out his hand to take the empty clip in Ah Cheng's hand and took a look, Yan used his hand to remove a few thin vines lying on the table, put the handwritten paper and empty document bags on it, and looked at it with a flashlight for a while: "These, it seems to be some kind of data." ”
"Can you read Japanese?" Chen Tao was surprised.
"What kind of college student, have an opinion?" Yan didn't even raise his head, his attention was all on the few pieces of paper.
"Yan Tsai has been in Japan for two years, and he knows the languages of several countries!" Boss Zhang said a little proudly, then looked at Yan and asked, "How is it, have you found anything?" ”
Yan smacked his lips and shook his head: "The handwriting is too blurry, there is no connection between these pieces of paper, and the things recorded on them are unrecognizable, and I can only recognize a few words." ”
"What are they?" Uncle Long asked.
"Survival, cycles, bugs, control, riots, and...... Death! ”
