Chapter 36: The Secret Path (2)

The thin man was still puzzled, but he couldn't say anything more.

In fact, Xu Jiandong also knew that he had obviously seen something like red eyes and a black shadow in the shape of a human figure just now, but he couldn't be sure and assert it until he really saw what it was.

After walking for a while, Xu Jiandong asked everyone to stop, and said to the thin man, the big man Lao Hu and Zhao Bing: "Lao Hu, you and Qiangzi go to the passage on the left, be careful of the hidden weapon inside, Zhao Bing and I enter the passage on the right, and contact the gun if there is something, and the rest of the people stay in place .........." ”

Xinyu and Xiaoting also told Xu Jiandong and the thin man to be careful.

The big man Lao Hu and the thin man set off first and walked into the secret passage on the left.

The thin man was in front, and the big man Lao Hu was behind, because Xu Jiandong said that he couldn't shoot here, so the two of them took out machetes one after another.

Xinyu and a few people outside the passage watched Xu Jiandong and the thin man and others in the passage and the flashlight gradually disappear.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was more than twenty minutes in a flash, and everyone couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts, sweating for the people inside.

Xiao Jun, Xiao Yu, Toothpick and the three girls who stayed in the passage were also scared, not because they were afraid of the darkness in the passage, but because of the strange thing and black shadow they saw just now, and they were afraid that it would come out again.

Xiao Jun and the other six people had to lean against the stone wall of the passage, holding a loaded AK-47 submachine gun in their hands, vigilantly watching the dark passage, they very much hoped that the four pathfinders would find the exit as soon as possible, and everyone could get out of this terrifying secret passage.

At this moment, the erratic, red, ghost-like eyes flashed again.

A piercing scream rang out violently, apparently from Xinyu or one of the two of them, Xiao Ting, after seeing the evil red light.

The decibels of this cry are very high and very special, especially in the dark and strange underground hole, which is even more terrifying, and everyone's nerves seem to be suddenly grasped.

Xiaojun, Toothpick and Xiaoyu quickly blocked Xinyu and Xiaoting behind them, and the AK47 submachine gun in their hands was flat, and they swept at the red ghost-like thing with a bullet.

In the explosion of the submachine gun, under the continuous flashing of light from the muzzle, everyone saw a black, hairy monster growing all over the body, this monster was less than a meter tall, but its movements were very agile, as if it could dodge bullets, and disappeared into the darkness leisurely, leaving only the unpleasant smell of gunpowder in the air, and the crisp sound of bullet casings falling on the stony ground.

The bright wolf-eyed flashlight had also been turned on at this time, and Xiao Jun shone for a long time towards the place where he had just shot, but he didn't see anything existing.

As he walked, he carefully shone a flashlight on the front of the passage, whether it was on the wall or on the ground, every small place was not missed, and he walked very carefully and slowly, because he knew that the hidden weapon would not leave him a chance and face, as long as there was a little carelessness and sloppiness, it was enough to kill two people.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a rapid gunfire in the cave behind him, and thought, "Oh no, something must have happened in the cave, I have to go over and take a look!" After thinking about it, he said to the big man behind him: "Lao Hu! Let's hurry to the cave, there must be something going on in the cave............! Before the big man could speak, the thin man had already pushed him towards the cave.

At this time, everyone in the cave gathered again, and it turned out that Xiao Jun and the others had gunfire for a while, and Xu Jiandong and the two of them were also brought back to the cave.

Xu Jiandong and the others searched the cave for a while, but they didn't find anything unusual, so they found a relatively safe place and asked a few people to wait there, waiting for them to come back from exploring the way and then go out together.

All the arrangements have been decided, and Xu Jiandong and others have started to act again.

Xu Jiandong and Zhao Bing entered a smaller passage, and although the flashlight was very strong, it still couldn't shine at the end of the passage, so they could only grope their way forward.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, the two of them came to an iron door, which also had a wheel and a keyhole, and Xu Jiandong stepped forward and opened it without much difficulty.

A "squeak! There was a sound, and the iron door slowly opened outward.

A cold breeze blew in, and it was clear that there must be an exit not far ahead.

Xu Jiandong was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately accelerated the pace under his feet.

The two men continued to walk forward, and gradually the light appeared from the turn on the right, as if they were nearing the end.

Turning the corner, the entrance to the passage was sealed by a few large rocks and a few messy grasses, leaving only a hole for a man to climb in and out.

A dazzling ray of sunlight shot in, almost blinding his eyes, Xu Jiandong hurriedly blocked his eyes with his hand, and said, "Xiao Zhao......... Don't look outside, beware of the sun blinding your eyes.........! ”。

Of course Zhao Bing is not a fool, he understands this truth, people have been in the dark for a long time, and if he is cold enough to see the dazzling sun, then his pair of eyes are likely to really be blind.

Zhao Bing put down the military backpack, took out the sapper shovel from it, and worked with Xu Jiandong to clean up the stones blocking the passage until they could bend over to pass, and the weeds blocking the passage were cut down by Xu Jiandong with a machete.

After the two of them gradually adapted to the sunshine outside, they dared to go out.

The air outside the passage is unusually fresh, there are white clouds floating in the sky, blowing a gentle mountain breeze, and the sun is warm on the body at this time.

Zhao Bing and Xu Jiandong walked out of the passage one after the other.

Xu Jiandong looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and he didn't expect to be delayed in this passage for more than an hour.

"Brother Xu, where is this?" Zhao Bing looked at the valley below and asked Xu Jiandong.

Xu Jiandong looked at the scene outside the passage, couldn't help but be stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it looks like a valley, anyway, at least we don't have to stay in the dark arsenal.........." ”

"Yes, it is ......... to feel the fresh air and breath of nature here." Zhao Bing took a deep breath and said.

It turned out that there was only one path down the hill in this underground arsenal, flanked by towering peaks, and in the middle there was a valley, and in front of the valley there was an open field, like a plain, on which grew green grass, like a blanket spread on the ground, and in the valley grew many towering trees, which looked a bit like a primeval forest.

This stone-paved path leads to the mouth of the valley, which is lined with lush greenery with green trees and vegetation on and off the hills.

Xinyu and Xiaoting and others in the passage had been waiting in place for more than an hour at this time, but they still didn't see the four people come back, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Jiandong, they'll be fine, why haven't they come back for so long............?" Xinyu said to everyone worriedly.

Toothpick and Xiaojun also felt that Xu Jiandong and they had been going for a long time, so they prepared to enter the passage to find someone.

Since it was two passages, everyone thought about it, and they were still looking for them in the passage where the big man Lao Hu and the thin man entered, and they were just about to enter the passage, when they saw Xu Jiandong and Zhao Bing coming out of the passage on the right.

"Jiandong, are you all right? Did you find an exit............? As soon as he saw Xu Jiandong walking out, Xinyu asked eagerly.

Patting the dust on his body, Xu Jiandong smiled at Xinyu, and said to Xiao Jun on the side: "Everyone go through the passage on the right, Xiao Zhao and I have already found the exit just now, Lao Hu and Qiangzi haven't come back yet............ ”

Shaking his head, Xiao Jun said, "No, we were about to go into the passage to find them just now......... ”

Xu Jiandong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said, "Won't it!?" Something must have happened to Qiangzi and Lao Hu, otherwise they would have come back for such a long time......... Xiao Zhao and Xiao Jun, let's hurry up and take a look, maybe these two big living treasures are really there, maybe ............. With that, he turned around and turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, and hurriedly walked towards the passage on the left.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Xu Jiandong walked ahead this time, walked more than forty steps in the crooked passage, and suddenly heard someone talking inside, and listened carefully, it was the thin man and the big man Lao Hu.

After turning the corner, sure enough, not far in front of me, two people were talking about something with flashlights.

The thin man and the big man were arguing, and suddenly noticed a flashlight shining behind them.

Hurriedly turned his head and reminded Xu Jiandong, Zhao Bing and Xiaojun, who had caught up, and said, "Be careful! Don't go any further, there are traps ............ in the passage! "Because the thin man knows that the person who comes must be his own person.

Xu Jiandong stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Bing and Xiao Jun who were following behind him and said, "Slow! There's a situation ahead, you two stand still first, and I'll go over and take a look at ............. ”

I illuminated the passage in front of me with a flashlight, but I didn't find anything unusual, so I asked the thin man and the big man: "Old Hu, Qiangzi, where is the trap you two talked about?" With that, he took two steps forward.

The thin man used a flashlight to shine on the ground and said: "It's these stone slabs in front of you, I think it's a little weird, so I didn't dare to land on them, maybe it's ..................a trap or something like that." ”

Xu Jiandong leaned down and used the bright flashlight in his hand to look carefully at the blue-gray slate that the thin man said.

These slabs are slightly different in color from the slabs next to them, and it is difficult to spot them if you don't look closely.

Because he paid attention to the stone slab under his feet, Xu Jiandong looked at it more seriously.

But there are some very small gaps around this rectangular cyan slab, and you will never find it if you don't lean down and look at it closely.

I tapped it lightly with my fingers a few times, but it didn't make any sound, maybe the slate was too heavy.

Xu Jiandong put down the backpack behind him, took out a special multi-purpose tool from it, and opened the knife on it, this kind of knife is very steely, and the back of the knife is also very thin.

Holding a wolf-eyed flashlight in one hand and a knife on a special tool in the other, he carefully stretched the knife into the crack of the stone slab.

He slowly slashed his knife along the gap in the stone slab in all directions.

The thin man and the big man Lao Hu and the others all didn't dare to say a word, and no one said anything, all their eyes fell on Xu Dong's body, and they were all staring at the big blue-gray stone slab he was tempting.

Xu Jiandong used a knife to cut all sides of the big stone slab under his feet, and it was considered to be inspected.

He stood up and said to everyone, "That's right! This is really a trap, this trap has a thicker shaft on my end, it is made of metal, and there is a lock at each end, which is a kind of flip-board trap, if you step on it, the lock is loose, and the person will fall underneath, and then the slate will return to its original ............ again. As he spoke, he stretched out his left foot and stepped on the stone slab under his feet, because he was prepared, so Xu Jiandong's body center of gravity fell on the supporting leg.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiandong's feet did not experience much resistance, and the large stone slab suddenly fell downward, revealing a deep pit one meter square.

Except for Xu Jiandong, the rest of the people were shocked.

The thin man and the big man Lao Hu glanced at each other, and they all admired Xu Jiandong in front of them from their hearts.

I only heard the big man Lao Hu say: "I said Lao Xu, but there is really you, you can also see this............?" ”

I was just about to come over to see what was going on, but I was stopped by the thin man and said, "Don't move, there is still something on the ground, have you forgotten it............?" ”

The big man listened to it, and had to take back the left leg that had just stretched out, and he knew in his heart that it would definitely be bad if it fell, but there was no sharp knife under it, and he couldn't stand it if he fell, and he didn't know how deep it was underneath.

Zhao Bing and Xiao Jun also came over at this moment.

Xu Jiandong shone a bright flashlight down, grinned in fright and said, "I'll go!" ……… Lao Hu, Qiangzi......... You two come over and see what's down here? ”

But I saw that below was a large pit nearly three meters deep, surrounded by stones, and at the bottom of the pit were more than a dozen rows of sharp knives with barbed hooks.

These dozen rows of sharp knives are specially made, with sharp blades, flashing with a penetrating cold light, and there are a few serrations on the body of the knife, a barb hook, and the head is sharpened unusually sharp
