The Ancient Kingdom of Viqian Chapter 26 The Abandoned Fortress
After a period of observation in the world, I found that the leylines here are all converging towards that high mountain, and if there is a big tomb on this island, it must be hidden in this mountain!
The island was bigger than expected, and after nearly three hours of walking, it had not yet reached the foot of the mountain; Moreover, the jungle was dense and the line of sight was not wide, and the wet ground and the moisture on the branches and leaves had already wet the shoes and coats.
Hu Mei wanted to rush to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered - speed up the pace.
I didn't walk for a while, the wind rose all around, the leaves of the branches rustled with the grass and trees, I looked up, through the gap between the branches and leaves, I could see a dark cloud pressing overhead, before I looked down, a raindrop the size of a bean grain had smashed on my face, and in a moment, the heavy rain poured down.
"His grandmother's bad luck!" Someone complained in the back.
Everyone continued to move forward in the face of the heavy rain, and the huge raindrops hit the branches and leaves and the grass and trees and caused a mist, because it was not convenient to be side by side, the big anchor followed me, and turned to look at him, there was a little blur between them, and the conversation between them had to raise their voices to be heard.
"Boss Hu, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first! The rain was so heavy that the ground would eat people in a while. β
After a while, I didn't hear Hu Mei's voice, I thought she didn't hear it from behind, so I turned my head and said, "Boss Hu, let's ...... first" Before the words were finished, my head had completely turned my body, but there was nothing behind me......
I was stunned for a moment, and then, I skipped over the anchor and stepped backwards, and there was still only the sound of rain around, and there was no figure or response.
I turned around and shouted, "Big anchor, there is a situation!" When I finished shouting, my heart "chuckled" and an ominous pre-cold came out.
I turned around and returned to where I was, and sure enough, the anchor was gone.
In any case, I could no longer move forward alone, because I was always in front, and even if I were separated, they would not be able to go ahead of me. Thinking of this, I went back the way I came, to see if I could catch up with these people.
I searched in the direction I had come from according to the traces of trampling on the ground, and the more I walked, the more hairy I became, and from the traces of these broken plants and trees, it seemed that I was the only one who had been there......
After walking back for about a meal, I finally saw the traces of trampling by many people, indicating that I was separated from these people from here, "Who is the anchor that has been next to me?" "Instantly, my hairs stood on end.
I looked around, and suddenly, there was a figure shaking not far away, and due to the fog and the fact that they were in a line, I could only see the last member of the team.
I strode to follow, and found that it was Hu Mei's team, and my hanging heart suddenly fell, shouting, "You are going in the wrong direction!" Feed! Boss Hu? β
The last person was watered by the heavy rain, and they did not cover up at all, like a wandering spirit, no matter how they shouted, they did not look back, and they did not complain just now.
When he got closer, he was hunched and had no gun in his hand, like a prisoner who had been assigned, "What about your guns?" I approached the last man and pulled him by the hand, and when he turned around, his face as pale as a corpse startled me. Looking at the person in front of him, he was not dressed like Hu Mei's men.
I wanted to know what was going on, but before I could think about it, I accidentally fell to the ground and checked my shoulder bag for the first time, thanks to a layer of oiled paper wrapped in it.
I skimmed off the vines under my feet and got up again, only to see the man slowly squatting down, I hurriedly ran over, and found that there was only the rustling of grass blades, and then behold, there was already a fog ahead, and there was no one.
This time I realized that the situation was not good, so I ran back to the original point, and the mountains in the distance were no longer visible, and I was in the jungle, and this time, I was completely separated from them.
Fortunately, I looked at the location of the mountain range before, otherwise it would be useless to take out the compass now. I had just taken two steps and noticed that the angle between the "Hades pointer" and the normal hand was not the usual.
There are three possibilities for this situation: one is that both pointers are broken; The second is that the pointer in the underworld is broken, and I am in the yang; The third is that the yang pointer is broken, and I am in ......
I picked a wild fruit from the tree and chewed it, a ...... Two ...... Finally, it was decided to follow the direction of the hands of the underworld.
The new problem is that if I follow the Hades pointer, then the path I took before is the wrong one, which again puts me in a dilemma.
As the saying goes, "it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided", you can only gamble today, anyway, it's an island, and you're afraid that you won't be able to get out?
While chewing the fruit to replenish my strength, I braved the heavy rain to reopen the road, and walked for about an hour, but the rain still did not stop, and when I was almost desperate, suddenly there was an open space ahead, and there seemed to be a building in the clearing in the distance, and there was no branches and leaves to cover it, and its general outline could be vaguely seen.
Looking closer, the concrete buildings, weathered wall skins, and three-story structures are erected here alone, and there are no other buildings on the left and right, even the grass and trees are short, which is in stark contrast with the surroundings.
Walking in with doubts, the hall is very large, and there are several cement pillars in the center to support, like a modern factory.
The floor was thick and dusty, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was a room with a locked iron door to the left and right of the hall.
I climbed up to the other floors, and it was still the same layout, with the rooms on both sides separated by iron doors.
"It's strange how this island could have such a structure, but now I'm going to reunite with them is the key" thought as he found some leaves in the house, the slightly damp leaves just served as wolf smoke.
"Let's go in and have a look." Suddenly, a voice came, and I stood up and patted the dust off my body, probing outward.
When these people approachedβit was Hu Mei and them! I hurried forward, and they were even more surprised than I was, and asked me why I was here.
I asked confusedly, "I got separated from you, didn't you find out?" β
Hu Mei's eyes were slightly puzzled, and the anchor said to the side: "Lao Fan, are you stupid by the rain?" Obviously, you yourself were going to the front to explore the way, but we didn't see you back for a long time, so we came looking for you in the direction you were going. No, I just saw a building here, so I stopped by and took a look. β
I looked at Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao also nodded, now I was really a little "the second monk was confused".
"Did I really say I was going to the front to find my way?" I confirm again.
Da Anchor nodded affirmatively, and then looked at Hu Mei and Li Jingliu, they also had the same expressions.
In this case, I will put my doubts in my heart for the time being, and take a step at a time.
Hu Mei and his party walked into the hall, and when the last person entered, I suddenly felt that this back was somewhat familiar, and in a blink of an eye, these people had already sat down and mixed together.
"Lao Fan, what do you want? You're a little weird these days! The anchor patted me on the shoulder.
"The three of us will take turns on duty tonight." I told the anchor.
"Hu Mei has so many people, do you still need us on duty?" As he spoke, the anchor put his hand on my forehead and said, "Let me see, didn't you burn your head with a cold?" β
"Get out of the way, have you forgotten what's going on on the ship?" I say.
The big anchor disagreed, saying, "This is land." On land, there is nothing to be afraid of! "The big anchor is poor, but in the end he does what I say.
Da Anchor patted Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao asked him what he was doing, Da Anchor cried and said: "What else can I do, I have to be on duty at night, I don't sleep now, how can I fix it at night?" Young people have no experience at all. β
As soon as the anchor sat down, Hu Mei walked towards me again, and she was still followed by Franklin, as if where Hu Mei was, this uncle would follow.
I didn't want to pay attention to this man, so I turned to the anchor and said, "Here are two wild fruits, do you want to eat them?" β
The big anchor sat down on the ground and said, "I just want to eat meat now......"
Xiao Miao took the wild fruit and gnawed it.
"Yang Shaoxia, what should we do next?" Hu Mei asked.
I knew she was trying to ask me where I was going to the mountain, and I told her that when the rain stopped tomorrow, there would be a way.
We were talking when Professor Pete walked over, and he glanced at Hu Mei as if he had something to say.
"It's all my own people, just say it." Hume said to Professor Pete.
Professor Pete held a helmet in his hand and said with an accent: "I just took someone to check it, and it looks like a Japanese camp during World War II." It is not known why the building was built. Professor Pete paused, and then said, "It's just that there are rooms on either side of this building, and they are all locked, which seems a little strange." β
Hu Mei looked at me, pointed to the door and asked, "Yang Shaoxia, what do you think is in here?" β
"Hu Mei is treating me as a god, right? I'm not a clair, how do I know; If she wants to know, just open it and see? I casually replied, "Maybe it's some discarded machine handles." β
Hu Mei nodded and immediately ordered the lock to be opened.
I let Miao continue to rest while shouting the big anchor. The locks on the first and second floors were rotten, and they were kicked open by the strong man, and there was nothing in them except the smell of mold.
After inspecting the second floor, Hu Mei instructed the two to guard the staircase again, so that they could be the hub between the first and third floors, and in case of danger, they could respond as soon as possible.
I took the lead and went up to the third floor. The light on the third floor was much darker, and everyone turned on their flashlights.
"This door can't be opened." Hu Mei's subordinates said.
I stepped forward to take a look, and the lock was not rusty, and as such, it didn't work for this man to kick a few times, and as for picking the lock, he wouldn't.
"Yang Shaoxia, look?" Hu Mei said.
"I'll try." I say.
This kind of lock is actually nothing special, what is special is that this lock actually has no rust, and I am also curious, what the hell is in this, and it needs to be locked so tightly?
I just opened a door, and there's a door inside!
"What else could be in this? Get out of the way, look at me! It was still the tall man who was kicking the door on the ship, and when he saw so many doors, he suddenly became angry.
Everyone thought he had something to do, and they all gave way to him, but he picked up the gun and fired a few shots at the lock, and I was about to slap him, when suddenly, there was a "squeak" - the door opened......
Hu Mei and the others looked at each other, the door was opened, and no one dared to enter.
Hu Mei looked at me, and I immediately waved my hand and said, "In this case, I have no obligation and no responsibility to be advanced." β
Hu Mei, the old fox, left her son and Li Jingliu on the first floor, and the dangerous thing is always to consider others first, seeing that her subordinates are all dead, who else can she mobilize.
"You go in first!" Hu Mei pointed to the tall ......
