Xu Jiandong didn't speak, his eyes just stared ahead.
Seeing that Xu Jiandong didn't say anything, the thin man continued to say to him: "If that's the case, then we are going to make a fortune this time, and after a while, I lost all the things in my front backpack and left it empty for gold and silver treasures." ”
Xu Jiandong heard what he said, thought about it and said, "I don't think so, you don't need to empty your backpack to pack these, take a few valuable items and take enough for you to eat and drink............ After a pause, he continued: "I don't think it's like a place where treasures are hidden, if it's really a warehouse for hiding treasures, how can it be so easy for the two of us to break in, since we can get in, then of course others can easily come in, right?" In addition, there should be at least some kind of hidden weapons to keep out the thieves, and in my opinion, there are some warehouses that look like weapons stockpiles. ”
As soon as these words came out, the thin man was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What? Arsenal?! You say our current location is in the passage of the arsenal............?! ”
Xu Jiandong nodded and said: "I think there is a possibility, we haven't been here, it doesn't mean that no one else has come, the more deserted the island, the more it will be used to build some secret weapons storage warehouses, and this island is so big, we haven't gone far, and there is still a large area that has not been set foot in." ”
The thin man nodded after hearing this, and felt that this was the reason.
In order to prevent any accidents, Xu Jiandong and the thin man each took out their machetes in their hands, and with two wolf-eye flashlights, they slowly moved towards the dark and gloomy passage step by step, and every step was so careful.
The thin man has kung fu in his body, and he walked in front bravely, Xu Jiandong did not shirk, knowing that his reflexes and fighting skills were not as strong as him, so he had to follow closely behind.
As he walked, the thin man suddenly stopped, turned his head and whispered to Xu Jiandong, who was following behind him, "Brother Xu......... Come over and see, what's the shiny thing in the front passage, why is it a bit like a steel wire.........? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiandong couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and shone it with a wolf's eye flashlight in the direction of the thin man's finger.
In the dark and narrow passage made of stones, about 50 centimeters near the ground, there suddenly appeared a shining thing, this shiny thing was like a spider's silk, from the left side of the secret passage to the right stone wall, the steel wire was very thin, and it was stretched straight.
Xu Jiandong cautiously took two steps forward, and with the light of the flashlight, it was indeed a very thin steel wire, and the light emitted just now was obviously produced by the strong light of the flashlight.
Xu Jiandong knows that this thin steel wire must be used to trigger a hidden weapon and other mixing lines, at the end of the secret passage or on the wall of the secret passage, the arrangement of hidden weapons is often used by hidden weapon design experts, this kind of steel wire caused by the hidden weapon will most likely be some powerful crossbow arrows and the like, although the range of this crossbow arrow is not far enough, but within its effective range, the lethality is still quite amazing.
In fact, as long as you don't touch the steel wire that triggers the hidden weapon trigger, you won't be shot by the hidden weapon.
The two of them cautiously stepped over the wire, and were just about to continue walking, but stopped again, because Xu Jiandong also found that less than three meters away from the wire, there were several steel wire mixing wires with cold light, like spider silk, intersecting and sealing the passage, and the passage still has no end in sight, maybe this passage has a turn in front, anyway, the light of the strong flashlight can't shine on anything at all, even if it's a wall.
In the darkness where the flashlight doesn't shine, it looks like a monster or something like that will rush out at any moment, and it makes people feel cool all over their bodies.
Seeing this, the thin man scolded: "His grandmother's, this can't be the cave of the Great Immortal, where did you get so many steel wires?" Such a thin wire can't strangle people if they hang themselves...............! ”
Xu Jiandong stopped the thin man's words and said: "You don't know, this kind of steel wire seems to be incomprehensible to the weight, but in fact, their pulling force can reach about two kilograms, and this kind of pulling force is enough to trigger a mechanical hidden weapon ............." ”
Turning his head and using the wolf's eye flashlight to shine on the steel wire that was close to his feet behind him, Xu Jiandong said: "Qiangzi, I think we should withdraw to the back of this wire first and then make plans, at least we must find a good way back, if there is a place to retreat, if it really doesn't work, let's give it thirty-six plans - withdraw!" ”
The thin man readily agreed, and he was reluctant to be in this dark and oppressive passage from his heart, so the two of them stepped back at the same time.
"Brother Xu, what should we do now?!" The thin man looked at Xu Jiandong and asked, Xu Jiandong glanced at the distance and height of the dozen wires, and already thought of an idea, so he said to the thin man: "I have a way, I don't know if it can work...............!" ”
"What's the solution? Just hurry up and say it, Brother Xu............? The thin man anxiously urged Xu Jiandong.
Xu Jiandong pointed to the dozen or so steel wires like spider webs in the secret passage and said to the thin man: "Qiangzi, have you seen those steel wires......... Can you use a machete to see if you can chop them off or trigger them ............? ”
The thin man glanced at the distance between him and the wire and said, "It should be about the same, the probability of success is about 80 percent............ ”
Xu Jiandong nodded when he heard this and said, "This eighty percent certainty is enough, remember!" After throwing the machete in a moment, you must immediately get down! You know............? ”
After hearing this, the thin man said: "You can rest assured, Brother Xu, by the way, is your old man looking for a place to lie down first?" I thought it would be much safer, and I went to worry about ............. ”
Xu Jiandong waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll take two steps back, just lie down with you, don't underestimate my reaction speed ............." ”
The thin man listened to Xu Jiandong's words, and was a little relieved, so he nodded at him, took the cold and shining seven-hole machete in his hand, turned around and said, "Attention......... Brother Xu, I'm about to start, are you ready? ”
"Alright, let's do it when you're ready!" Xu Jiandong took two steps and then turned around and stood still, staring at the thin man and said.
After hearing this, the thin man nodded, indicating that he had received it, so he transported the internal qi, shook his wrist at the position of the steel wires in the passage, and slashed the machete, which weighed more than two catties and was about 60 centimeters long, towards the dozen steel wires.
As soon as the machete was out of his hand, he shouted, "Hurry up and get down ............!" At the same time, he had quickly fallen to the ground.
Since the thin man threw the seven-hole machete out with a wrist-shaking whirlwind, this machete was not inserted directly, if that was the case, it would have no effect at all, and it was because he wanted to use this wrist-shaking throwing method to make the machete slash at the wires in the way of wheel rotation.
With a strong wind, the knife rotated rapidly, with a cold light like a disc, and slashed towards the dozen or so steel wires in the passage.
The two men lay on the ground almost at the same time, neatly and quickly.
But a metallic sound was heard, and more than a dozen steel wires had been cut off, but it still triggered a hidden weapon hidden in the stone wall.
Immediately, the sound of machine springs in the stone wall in the passage sounded one after another, and something like a rain of arrows shot out from the cracks in the stone wall.
Xu Jiandong and the thin man dared to look up to see what was going on, they both stuck their heads tightly on the ground, and they didn't care if there was dust on the ground of this passage, and they protected their heads tightly with their hands.
But I feel that the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air on the top of my head and in my ears is urgent.
The two of them were thinking in their hearts at the same time, if this was nailed to a fucking one, it would be enough.
There were a few thumps on the back, and there was a sound of hitting the metal inside the backpack.
The thin man was still lying on the ground, shouting, "His grandmother's! Where did you get so many arrows? The guy who designed it must have eaten too much and had nothing to do, and the contents of my backpack must have been shot by them......... ”
Xu Jiandong also said: "I was also hit by an arrow in my backpack, but it's better than being shot in the body, don't complain there, if we don't lie down just now, I'm afraid we're going to turn into a hedgehog ............ now." ”
The thin man smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, if it weren't for Brother Xu's foresight, the two of us brothers might really go to see Marx and his old man right now." ”
The hidden weapons in the passage finally stopped, as if they had all been beaten, and the two men looked up at each other.
The thin man took down an arrow-shaped thing from the side of the backpack behind Xu Jiandong and said to him: "Brother Xu, what the fuck is this broken arrow, why don't you have a tail yet...............?" ”
Taking this special arrow, Xu Jiandong looked at it and said: "I have never seen this kind of strange arrow, generally the arrow without arrow feathers is not far and cannot be shot accurately, the role of the arrow tail is to play a stable flight and balance, but some arrows have no tail feathers It is also possible, like the arrow seen now, due to the limitation of the size of the firing device, it can only be made into this kind of arrow without arrow feathers, but at a certain distance, this kind of arrow still has great lethality." ”
The thin man said admiringly: "What you said makes sense, I don't know anything about this......... Hehe. ”
The two of them pulled the arrows off each other's backpacks, and while dialing, the thin man said: "I said Brother Xu, you have a total of five on this backpack, three on the left and two on the right. ”
Xu Jiandong also said to the thin man: "Yes, you have also been shot in the back a lot, but it is much less than the ones that fell on the ground." As he spoke, he shone a flashlight on the ground.
Looking at the dozens of featherless crossbow arrows scattered on the ground paved with stones in the passage, the thin man stuck out his tongue in surprise and said, "I rely on his grandmother!" If you get a shot, you're going to die. ”
"Huh.........? That's not right, Brother Xu? The thin man said suddenly.
Xu Jiandong was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" How can I not say anything halfway through my speech. ”
The thin man asked puzzledly: "I mean, since this is a warehouse for weapons such as munitions, why don't the guys who set up hidden weapons use machine guns, it has so many effects, and nothing can survive after a violent storm............ No, no, if that's the case, we'll die. ”
Xu Jiandong heard what he said and said: "This is a warehouse for storing munitions, and you can't use open flames, and besides, if the gunpowder in the bullet is damp, how can it sound, and the use of dark arrows is different, that is, there is no open flame, and there is no need to worry about the failure of the launch mechanism due to moisture." ”
"Oh, I see, I heard you say this, now I finally figured it out, or is your brother Xu smart............ Hehe. The thin man said with a smile.
The two of them briefly tidied up, and then continued to walk carefully towards the depths of the passage.
The thin man picked up the seven-hole machete on the ground and held it in his hand.
After walking about a few dozen paces forward, there was an eighty-degree turn, and the two men continued to walk inside along this turn.
Under the illumination of the wolf's eye flashlight, a black gate appeared in front of it, and it seemed that it was two large iron doors that were open to each other.
This large iron door was much larger than the one I had seen when I came in, about two meters high, and the width of the single door was nearly one meter, with a red wheel on the left and right.
These two red wheels are particularly eye-catching and eye-catching on the two large black iron doors, and the blood-red color can take advantage of the mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.
The passage is also much wider, and the floor is no longer paved with stones, but with cement.
On the top of the big iron gate, there is a semicircular black thing on each side, buckled on the top, there is a groove in the middle of the semicircular object, and there is a black hole in the middle, because of the dim light, it is not clear for a while.
The thin man shone the two semi-circular things above his head with a wolf-eyed flashlight, and asked Xu Dongdao: "Brother Xu, what is the black thing on it, why does it look a bit like the turret of a tank?" The thin man said as he stepped forward to turn the wheel on the left side, but as soon as his hand touched the red wheel, he was pulled back by Xu Jiandong.
Xu Jiandong pulled this to startle the thin man, turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's wrong Brother Xu?" Why are you pulling me? Is there something wrong? ”
Pointing to the two black things like tank turrets on the top of his head, he said: "I think there is some truth to what you just said, I think these two must be self-defense weapons to protect this iron gate...............!" ”
