Section 47: Organs
The sight of these charred bones greatly increased the morale of the people. Since there are masters here, all the gods, demons and monsters will naturally dissipate.
The things in the room were so small, and they were soon turned upside down by Li Chunsheng and Huang Mao, and even the small bed was dismantled, and nothing of value was found.
Then, Huang Mao took the lead, carrying a military backpack and a flashlight, and walked down the stairs. Li Chunsheng followed him, a few meters apart, followed by Zhou Fuyuan, Zhang Peng, and Lao Huangpi.
The beams of a few flashlights illuminated the narrow corridor. The staircase is made of concrete, with some broken edges, and the handrails are plastered with plaster, and the surface layer has peeled off a lot, revealing the red bricks below. The walls were pitted, stained with various stains, and hung with cobwebs, some of which were gray and black.
From time to time, the cold wind blows up from below, blows on the skin, and is cold. There was a faint smell of burnt paste in it, but other than that, there was no other odor. It's ventilated all year round, and even if there used to be a pile of corpses underneath, it's time to dry it.
Walking down three flights of stairs, a double wooden door appeared. It didn't seem to be locked, it was hidden, and the sound of "woo woo" came from the crack in the door, and the door panel shook slightly.
Huang Mao turned his head, and Zhou Fuyuan made a "nudge" gesture.
"Help me take it." Huang Mao gave the flashlight to Li Chunsheng, and slowly pushed it inward with his palm against the door panel on the right.
"Quack Quack ......"
The hinges of the upper and lower doors made a screeching sound of rubbing, which was exceptionally clear in this small and dark stairwell, and it was uncomfortable to hear.
"Click!" Suddenly there was a soft sound inside, as if something was stuck. By this time, the door had already pushed open a palm-wide slit. Li Chunsheng raised the flashlight and shone it in.
In the incandescent light, a passage more than two meters wide appeared, and on both sides were closed doors, and there was no end in sight.
Then, Li Chunsheng pushed the door on the left again, and with a friction sound, he also pushed open the gap the size of a palm. In this way, the gap in the middle can barely squeeze into a thinner person.
Everyone didn't rush in, and first observed outside for a while.
"There seems to be something on the ground." Li Chunsheng said according to the floor of the aisle. Looking at the beam of the flashlight, there were small black dots scattered on the ground.
"It looks like a beetle, hey, there's a ...... here," Huang Mao said as he fished the door with the crowbar in his hand and hooked out a small semi-circular object.
Zhou Fuyuan wore gloves and picked up the thing. Under the illumination of the flashlight, everyone finally saw clearly, it was a large beetle about three fingers wide, the whole body was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire, and all six knuckles were gone, leaving only a small section above the abdomen.
"What did this come from?" Zhang Peng asked.
"Ghoul beetles." Zhou Fuyuan gave a brief explanation. The ghoul beetle, also known as the "dark scarab", lives deep underground all year round and lives on the carcasses of humans and animals. It has a ferocious temperament and a penchant for blood*** and has a certain aggressiveness. I didn't expect that there would be such a dangerous creature living in the underground of the elementary school. Moreover, the ghoul beetle comes from Western countries, and there are no local Chinese ones. It is likely that the person who piled up the corpses deliberately sprinkled eggs on them in an attempt to gradually decompose the corpses.
But now it seems that these beetles should have been burned to death......
"Tsk!"
As Zhou Fuyuan was speaking, the beetle in his hand suddenly moved, agitated its elytra, and made a piercing chirping sound. He was startled, his hand was not steady, and he fell to the ground. Standing next to Huang Mao, he reacted quickly and stepped on it.
All he heard was a "pop", and green slime splattered out from under his hiking boots. Lifting his foot again, all that was left was a pile of sticky crumbling flesh.
"This ......" Zhou Fuyuan looked at Zhang Peng with a hesitant face. And the latter also showed hesitation.
For a while, everyone looked at each other, and the originally high morale fell a lot.
Under the Dao of the masters, there is no death, which means that there is likely to be danger inside......
"What's the matter, you can't get it yet?" Huang Mao asked blankly.
"It's all here, maybe it's one or two fish that slipped through the net, it shouldn't be much of a danger." Zhang Peng said.
The other three all nodded, and they all arrived at the door, how could they be willing if they didn't try.
"Old Yellow Skin, go in and open the door." Zhang Peng said.
"Okay." Lao Huang Pi straightened his robe, turned his body sideways, and squeezed into the gap.
After a while, the old yellow skin went in, looked left and right, moved the wooden strip against the door, and let the five people in. There was a long aisle ahead, and a flashlight shone through, and about two or three hundred meters away, there was a double-open iron door.
"Wow, that's big!" Huang Mao exclaimed. From the outside, the Triumph Tower is no more than 100 meters long, which means that the basement covers a much larger area than the one above ground.
This location is halfway up the low mountain, and judging by the length of the passage, it should run through the entire mountain, but it is only the entrance at the other end, and I don't know where it is.
The five of them observed in place for a moment, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, they walked into the corridor one after another and began to check the rooms on both sides. At first glance, the aisles are full of iron doors, rusty, and most of the patent leather has fallen off.
These doors are locked with iron bolts from the outside, and the locks on them are so badly corroded that the keyholes are no longer visible. In front of the first door, Huang Mao fumbled for a while, sniffed against the crack of the door, then picked up the crowbar, snapped into the iron bolt welded to the door, and broke it outward.
"Gur-la-la-......"
With a crackling sound, the iron bolt was bent open. Yellow fur pulled out a crowbar, lifted his foot, and kicked it violently. I only heard a "bang", and the iron door slammed inward.
Zhang Peng stood behind and watched Li Chunsheng shine a flashlight into it.
"Vomit ......"
After just one glance, Huang Mao and Li Chunsheng in front of the door stepped back at the same time, their faces were a little pale, and they made a disgusting sound.
Zhou Fuyuan squeezed up from the two of them, looked into the room, and then reached out and closed the iron door.
"It's just a dried corpse, it's just a little more, there's no need to make a fuss." Zhou Fuyuan pretended to be relaxed and said, in fact, cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.
"Cluck...... At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gear rubbing behind him.
Immediately afterward, a strong wind blew behind his head. Five beams of light shone backwards at the same time, but a stone wall fell with a bang.
"Boom!"
In the dull crashing sound, dust rose everywhere, and everyone hurriedly covered their noses and coughed. The scene became a little chaotic, but fortunately, they were all smart and courageous people, and they quickly regained their composure.
When the smoke cleared, the original entrance had been sealed tightly, leaving only the cold stone walls. Everyone immediately looked at each other, more or less a little panicked, and then stepped forward to explore. The top of the stone wall is a concrete slab, and the left and right sides are walls, which fit very tightly. Zhang Peng and Zhou Fuyuan took out their mobile phones one after another, but found that there was no signal.
After a few moments, all five sat down dejectedly and leaned against the stone wall.
"What's going on?" Huang Mao couldn't bear it at first, and asked with a panicked expression.
"Hmm......" The other four were all thinking, and no one answered.
"What's going on!" Huang Mao raised his voice, and his voice trembled a little.
"Don't worry, let's think again." Zhou Fuyuan raised his hand and comforted.
"This stone wall is a bit weird." Li Chunsheng said, "It didn't fall until we all came in." ”
"Could it be ......" Old Huangpi frowned and guessed, "Is someone manipulating behind it?" ”
"It's also possible that the door was prying." Zhou Fuyuan said another possibility.
"The point is, why did the other party set up this agency?" Zhang Peng asked.
"Alas......"
As soon as the words fell, a sigh suddenly sounded in my ears, faint and very infiltrating.
All five straightened up at the same time, looking around alertly. But there are only more than ten square meters here, and it is clear at a glance that there is nothing but them.
"Did you hear that?" Zhou Fuyuan looked left and right and asked.
The four of them nodded their heads, as if they were all apprehensive about the sigh just now.
"You...... Didn't you say that the master came? Huang Mao asked. Not only him, but the other three also felt cheated.
"Want to be beaten?" Zhang Peng asked lightly.
"No...... Brother Peng, I didn't mean that......" Huang Mao hurriedly denied.
"The master must have used the Great Dao method to sweep it, otherwise how could there be burnt beetles everywhere? It's just a bit of a slip through the net, and there's nothing surprising about it. Zhou Fuyuan persuaded, "Little Liu, as the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger." I don't want to take some risks, I want to make a lot of money, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”
"Yes, yes, what Brother Zhou said, what Brother Peng said is also." Huang Mao echoed.
"When we came in, the wind blew. This means that this place is transparent, and there must be a vent at the other end. Zhou Fuyuan analyzed again.
"What do you mean......" Zhang Peng raised his flashlight and shone it on the iron door at the end of the passage, "Just go over there and have a look?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Fuyuan nodded.
"Then go check it out." The five of them said they would go, and immediately walked towards the other end of the passage.
"Click......"
Five pairs of shoes rubbed against the ground, echoing with an indescribable horror.
"Wait!" Old Huangpi seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Peng asked.
"If someone hurts us behind our backs, will they also block the vent on the other end?" Old Huangpi said.
"Hiss......" Thinking of this possibility, everyone took a breath at the same time. Lao Huangpi's analysis is very reasonable, if the other party can block this end, he will definitely be able to block that end.
For a moment, everyone was silent, and involuntarily thought of the possibility of death. In this case, even if there is nothing to harm them, they will die of lack of oxygen.
"Don't be afraid, if we really get trapped, hold on for three days at most, and someone will come to save us." Zhang Peng saw that everyone was depressed, and said confidently. Tomorrow night, Ma Jinglei saw that he didn't come home, so she usually didn't ask, because he occasionally played all night outside. And the night after tomorrow, if he hasn't gone home yet, Ma Jinglei will definitely call his mobile phone, and if he finds that he is not in the signal area, she will find someone to ask him where he is. If you ask your two daughters, you can guess that he came to the basement to explore. In this way, at the latest, someone will come to their rescue the morning after tomorrow.
