Chapter 174: Killing Angels (20)
Soon, we came to the Journey to the West Cave. Of course, the way to enter the Westward Journey Cave is by no means through the entrance of the scenic spot, but through an underground dark river.
The black man took two black inflatable kayaks out of the trunk of his car and placed them by the creek.
In front of this stream you can see a cave, and the water gurgling into the cave feels deep and peaceful. I guess the cave is another entrance to the Journey to the West.
The three killers took down a lot of equipment from the car, MP5 submachine guns, gas masks, American Colt M2000 models, flashbang smoke grenades and so on.
This posture is obviously going to do a big job.
When they were equipped with weapons, they didn't plan to give me a share of those sophisticated weapons, and all they handed over to me and Tang Zhenguo was a gas mask and a flashlight.
However, it is also understandable that handing over a weapon to someone you don't know is a risky act in itself.
When everything was ready, the black killer and the white killer rode in a kayak, the black man rowed the boat, and the white man raised his gun to keep watch. They marched in front of us, no more than two meters apart.
Thompson was sitting in a kayak with Tang Zhenguo and me, and he also raised his gun and handed the paddle to Tang Zhenguo, asking Tang Zhenguo to take charge of the rowing.
But I snatched the paddle and said to Tang Zhenguo, "You are also responsible for guarding." ”
Thompson looked at me, then at Tang Zhenguo, nodded, and handed a black dagger to Tang Zhenguo. It seems that Thompson understands Tang Zhenguo's throwing knife technique.
Tang Zhenguo was not polite, took the dagger, let the dagger turn a few times in a strange and unpredictable way in his hand, and then exclaimed: "Very good, good knife." ”
Thompson's eyes kept staring at Tang Zhenguo's hand turning the flying knife, and his face showed surprise and admiration.
Indeed, when everyone saw Tang Zhenguo's flying knife technique, they would only be surprised and admired.
The two kayaks went one after the other, quietly into the stream, and then into the cave.
After entering the cave, we all turned on the flashlight, it seems that this is a karst cave, which should also belong to the Journey to the West Cave. This stream should eventually converge into the underground Yin River.
The further you go, the narrower the river is, and the cave is extremely cold and silent, making the sound of paddling very obvious.
I looked at the time, it was already 1:47 p.m. at this time, I don't know if the Rubik's Cube encrypted file was cracked by Yan Zhongzhi? But now I can't know, because in this cave, there is no signal.
After about fifteen minutes of marching forward, the black killer suddenly raised his oar, and Thompson whispered to me, "Here we are." ”
I poked Tang Zhenguo, who was concentrating on vigilance, with my oar, and also whispered, "It's here." ”
Tang Zhenguo's face was serious, and he shone the flashlight around, but he didn't find any other holes. Of course, I followed the light and didn't see the hole.
But the blacks leaned to the left bank, and I followed. After disembarking, we took all the kayaks to shore. I found that the place was relatively wide, and there were obvious trails and footprints on the ground, which must have been left by kayaks and the like. Apparently there are often people landing here.
At this point, both Thompson and the two killers stopped talking and instead communicated through sign language.
I have some research on this military sign language and understand that they are talking about wearing gas masks.
I didn't tell Tang Zhenguo what these killer sign languages meant, but Tang Zhenguo had already put a gas mask on his face. Obviously, he saw that the killers were all wearing them, and he also painted the gourd himself.
The light here was originally based on our five strong light flashlights, but now that we wear gas masks, we feel that our vision is narrower and the surroundings are even darker.
Thompson beckoned to me, meaning to follow behind the white killer while he himself cut it off.
The black man walked to the edge of the rock wall and easily pushed a rock away, and Tang Zhenguo looked surprised. He must have wondered how the stone, which was about one meter long and two meters high, could be pushed away so easily.
When I walked in, I realized that the stone was just a plastic, just imitating the shape of a boulder, blocking a hole.
When the opening opens, there is a modern metal door with an electronic combination lock on the right side of the door.
I thought that these killers knew the password, but after seeing the white killer take out the small computer from his arm and connect it to the password lock with a data cable, I knew that they didn't know the password either, so they had to crack it through hacking techniques.
The display on the code lock jumped rapidly, and in just thirty seconds, the code was unlocked. But the door didn't open.
Thompson made a few gestures for everyone to stand on either side.
I knew that when this door was opened, something like an arrow would shoot out. I infer this because both of the Killing Angels used arrows as lethal weapons.
Once we had taken our positions, the white man pressed a key on the microcomputer in his hand, then quickly unplugged the data cable, and a tumbling dodge next to the black killer, with his MP5 submachine gun already aimed at the door.
There was silence for about three seconds, and the door made a 'pop' sound, which was supposed to be a fully sealed hydraulic door. Because Thompson said that this is a secret base, is the use of this fully enclosed hydraulic door to prevent some kind of poisonous gas in the secret base from accidentally leaking? Like the horrible VX nerve agent.
After that 'poof' sound, the door slowly rose upward. It really rises slowly, and I reckon this kind of door is an all-metal solid door, and although this door is about the same size as a normal door, its weight is obviously very large.
However, the rising noise of this door is very small, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all. Of course, since this is a secret base, this kind of noise-reducing technology is very sensible.
When the door was a foot high, I heard a 'ding' and saw two small silver balls rolling out of the door.
"Be careful!" Thompson shouted in horror, and then kicked one of the balls away and fell towards the Yin River.
With his position, to kick another ball away, obviously needs to take another step. If the orb was a grenade, his step was a step into hell.
At the last moment, I felt a sudden wind around me.
Tang Zhenguo made a move.
The black dagger that Thompson had given Tang Zhenguo earlier cut through the darkness and hit the silver ball on the ground.
The ball was instantly stirred out by the flying knife, and fell into the Yin River with an empty sound.
'Puff'!
After two muffled sounds, I heard a lot of ping-pong bangs, and I heard what sounded like a handful of rice being thrown into the water.
Obviously, it was the two silver balls that burst out of a lot of hidden weapons. It's just that now it's all in the water, and it can't hurt us.
Thompson picked up the black dagger inserted into the ground, handed it to Tang Zhenguo again, and said thank you to Tang Zhenguo in a friendly manner.
Tang Zhenguo took the flying knife expressionlessly and didn't say half a word. Obviously, Tang Zhenguo still doesn't have a good impression of these killers with blood on their hands.
By this time, the iron door was half open, so I walked up to Thompson and asked softly, "What are those two silver balls that rolled out just now?" ”
"It's a weapon, it explodes like a grenade, but when it explodes, all that flies out are steel needles, and the steel needles are so poisonous that even if it's just a bruise, there's no cure," Thompson said. It was a murder weapon specially prepared by Professor Qu for killing angels. ”
I am even more convinced that the Qumo criminal syndicate must have a secret base dedicated to the development of high-tech weapons.
The iron door finally opened, and Thompson was the first to rush inside, and we followed.
Behind the iron gate is a long road, and there are orange lights on the road, but the brightness of the light is very dim, like a hazy moonlight cast on the earth.
Thompson didn't move forward, but stood on guard. At this time, the white killer walked up to Thompson's side and took out the WeChat computer again.
After a bit of tinkering, he gave Thompson a thumbs up, meaning it was done. It's just that I don't know what he's done?
I guess it has something to do with some modern trap trap.
Thompson turned to me and said, "The microwave sensor in front has been removed, and that sensor will cause this tunnel to burn into flames." We only have fifteen seconds to get through here, and after fifteen seconds, the sensor will be back to normal. ”
I said angrily: "You guys are really procrastinating, why didn't you say it before, you see how much time you wasted when you said this." ”
Thompson took out a gray cloth from his backpack and said, "Mr. Ouyang, don't get excited, of course I won't waste time." ”
After saying that, he patted the white killer on the shoulder, and the white killer quickly rushed out as he pressed the microcomputer in his hand.
I said to Tang Zhenguo: "Run, run as fast as you can." ”
The five of them rushed like crazy.
At this time, the difference in physique was instantly reflected, the black man was still running back, and at this time he had already rushed to the front, Tang Zhenguo followed closely behind, and I was almost neck and neck with the two white killers.
I ran and shouted, "How long is this passage?" ”
Thompson gasped and said, "Two hundred meters." ”
"I'll go, the pit!" I don't want to say anything more, just keep my head down and run hard. There are only 15 seconds to cross 200 meters, and he intends to turn us all into roast suckling pigs!
Sure enough, it is impossible for humans to run 200 meters in 15 seconds.
I could already feel a heat wave coming behind me, and there were obvious orange-red reflections on both sides of the passage in front of me, and it seemed that there must be a flame rushing out behind me.
I couldn't understand where this fire came from.
'Ah......' all five of them involuntarily 'ah' to encourage their legs to walk faster.
"Left!" The black man shouted in English.
"Left!" I shouted in Chinese, mainly to remind Tang Zhenguo.
Everyone rushed to a fork in the road on the left, and Thompson instantly lifted the cloth in his hand, and the white killer also rushed forward, and the two of them unfurled the cloth in a very short time.
'Whew'!
A wave of fire was cut off by the cloth, and we were safe behind it. It looks like it's an insulated blanket.
After the fire, Thompson and the white killer threw the blanket on the ground.
I found that there were railroad tracks on this fork, of course, this is not a mining area, and these small railroad tracks are obviously used to transport supplies. It seems that the scale of this secret base is not small. This Qu Mo is really powerful, and he can actually open a secret base in a tourist attraction without being discovered.
"Up front is the base warehouse, which is where VX nerve agents are stored," Thompson said. ”
I asked with some confusion, "Isn't there anyone guarding this base of yours?" It's so easy to let the Killing Angels in. ”
Thompson said in a deep voice, "The people here are dead. ”
I didn't ask again, it seems that the killing angels do live up to their name.
When I walked further, I saw a corpse with a hole in its forehead, and the blood had not completely dried up, but it was very viscous.
Moreover, this male corpse is not wearing an armed uniform, but a kind of gray overalls, which seems to be the staff of this secret base.
At this time, although he was wearing a gas mask, he could also smell a faint smell of blood. I wanted to take off the gas mask, I didn't know how disgusting the smell of blood would be.
It turned out that we had come to a crossroads, and I thought that the smell of blood must have wafted from a certain intersection, and I didn't know what kind of horrific scene we would see when we passed through that intersection.
Thompson palmed his hands and made a forward gesture. The route we chose did not turn at this intersection, but went straight ahead.
I looked at my phone as I walked, but there was still no signal. At this time, it was already 2:11, and I was worried again, I don't know how the Rubik's Cube encrypted file cracked is? Qu Mo asked three killers to take me to this underground secret base with no signal to catch the killing angels, and chose the time period when the Rubik's Cube encrypted files were about to be cracked, is this a coincidence or is it carefully planned by him?
But at this point, I have come to this point, and I have no choice but to try to cooperate with Qu Mo's killer and bring the killing angel to justice, or correct the law on the spot.
With these three killers present, the latter is obviously more likely. Of course, there is also the possibility that the five of us were sent to the Western Heaven Elysium by the Killing Angel.
The further they went, the lighter and smaller the pace of the killers became, and their speed of movement was noticeably slowed down a lot, and they turned their guard back and forth, left and right from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that they wore gas masks and covered their faces. I think their expressions must have been very serious. Perhaps those two 'Angels of Killing' were two Grim Reapers.
Tang Zhenguo had a sense of smell that was extremely sensitive to danger, and he also bowed down, his hands hanging at his sides.
But instead of looking left and right, he looked straight ahead, because the rest of his direction was given to his sensitive ears.
'Whoosh'!
The sound of breaking the sky.
"Lie down!" Thompson shouted in horror in broken Chinese.
