92.Chapter 92: The Small House and the Mountaintop

Popularity is a wonderful thing, and it's always difficult to explain it seriously. www.biquge.info But the feeling of an inhabited building is definitely different from that of being abandoned, even if the residents of this building have not specifically repaired their premises, a sensitive person like Ding Chen can still immediately detect it.

So Ding Chen signaled the two people behind him to be on guard, walked slowly to the door of the building, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”

The building was silent, and no response was heard, save for the screeching of the wind as it blew through the cracks in the building.

Ding Chen put force on his hand and knocked again, but still did not get a response. So he glanced back at the two people behind him and signaled that he was going in. Then he handed the saber in his left hand to his right hand, and behind hiding it in his wrist, he stretched out his left hand and slowly opened the door.

This is a very common single anti-theft door, the iron sheet on the outside has corroded and peeled off, and the transmission lever inside can be seen directly, which naturally loses the protective effect.

Ding Chen's hand was forced, and the iron door let out a piercing scream under Ding Chen's pull, and then slowly opened.

Standing in front of the door and waiting for a while, Ding Chen looked sideways and found that there was no one in the house, so he stepped in.

Zheng Yu and Luo Ge glanced at each other, and they both felt that Ding Chen's courage was really big, not to mention that they just walked into a house where people might be hiding. Just looking at this small building that is swaying in the wind and may collapse at any time, it takes the courage to laugh and bury alive if you want to walk in.

Ding Chen seemed to have no sense of the worries of his two companions, he stood at the door with his saber in his hand, and said loudly inside, "Is there anyone?" I came in. ”

The voice of questioning seemed a little dull in the empty room, and quickly died away.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Ding Chen could see most of the details in the room.

This used to be the duty room of the power station, and on the wall of the door was a strangely shaped iron cabinet, the handwriting on which had been so rusted that it was impossible to distinguish what was written in the past. I can only see that some of them have meters on them, and another has glass panels, but they are covered with dust, and I can't see the scene inside.

In the middle of the room, there is a large fan-shaped workbench. On the wall behind the workbench hangs a video wall composed of more than a dozen LCD monitors. It's just that these monitors have long since lost their usefulness, and several of them have fallen down due to the rust of the brackets, which looks extremely miserable.

Ding Chen stepped on the ubiquitous moss on the ground, slowly walked to the workbench and took a look, and found that there was also a thick layer of dust accumulated on it, so thick that he couldn't even tell what was set on it? It is clear that the people who live here have never been interested in it.

He stretched out his hand and touched it, brushing away some of the dust, and found that there was a square two-hand watch behind it, but he couldn't see the reading units from the mottled parameter markings, let alone what the watch used to do.

Ding Chen didn't continue to ponder the components on the workbench, but turned around and looked around. A staircase hidden in the corner of the room was seen, from where it was clear that there was access to the second floor.

He walked slowly over and stopped by the stairs. There was a rectangular cabinet hanging on the wall, the glass on it had been broken, and you could see that there were three plastic boards separated by each other, but it was empty, and I couldn't tell what it was, and I could only guess from the shape of the cabinet that it was some long items.

Ding Chen reached out and touched the edge of the cabinet, revealing a dull silver-white color under the dust. Obviously, this is an aluminum display case that was very common in the past. Ding Chen pondered for a moment, and vaguely guessed what the items that had been displayed inside were?

He walked past the display case and stopped at the bottom of the staircase, where there was a wooden door that had rotted away from the erosion of time, and the nameplate that hung on it had fallen and stuck diagonally in the dust that had accumulated under the door. Ding Chen bent down and picked it up, wiped it with his hand, and found that the copper nameplate had the words "tool room" written on it.

Ding Chen threw the plaque back to the ground, and the thick dust caught the bronze plaque, only making a soft sound. He reached out and grabbed the handle on the wooden door, moved it slightly, and then pulled it outward.

The door shaft made a screeching sound, but without much additional resistance, it was easily pulled apart by Ding Chen, and the lower edge of the wooden door drew a fan-shaped trajectory in the dust on the ground.

He stood outside the door and looked carefully into the tool room, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see rows of cabinets inside, and several cabinet doors were hidden, but he couldn't see the contents clearly.

Ding Chen turned his head and cast his gaze on the stairs, as if he was hesitating to go upstairs to have a look.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to think, and finally gave up his attempt to go upstairs, waved his hand to signal the two people behind him to exit the room, and then walked out backwards himself.

After closing the door, Ding Chen said to the two people beside him, "Let's find a place to spend the night." ”

Rogge gestured to Xiao Lou uneasily, and asked in a low voice, "Is there someone upstairs?" ”

Ding Chen shook his head slowly, "It's hard to say." "I don't know if it's a trap, so it's best not to take the risk," he said. ”

Rogge understood what he meant, the space on the stairs was limited, and if there were people hiding from it, it would be dangerous for Ding Chen to go up the stairs, which should be the reason why he gave up going upstairs.

There is a row of bungalows behind the small building, which is supposed to be where the power plant stores materials. But because it was getting late, Ding Chen didn't mean to go over to explore, but continued to walk towards the mountain with the two of them.

Not far from the small building, there is a 35,500-volt substation, and the starting point of the overhead pole under the mountain is here.

Ding Chen stood outside the iron fence of the substation and looked inside a few times, then took two people around.

When night fell, they finally came to the wind turbine tower at the top of the mountain, Ding Chen looked around with satisfaction, and said to the three people: "I'll sleep here tonight." ”

The three of them lit a bonfire, ate a little food, and prepared to rest. It was only at this time that Rogge and Zheng Yu figured out why Ding Chen had to take the two of them all the way to the top of the mountain to spend the night.

After extinguishing the bonfire, Ding Chen directly led two people to the tower of a wind turbine. Really walked under the tower, Rogge and the two people realized the majesty and grandeur of the pre-industrial civilization era, and under the huge tower, the figures of the three people seemed extremely small.

Ding Chen raised the torch, looked for a while on the outer wall of the cylindrical tower, then took out the saber and scraped it on it, and soon, the shape of a door was revealed on the tower, he sled it on the side of the door with his saber, determined the position of the door lock, and then took out the black knife and slashed on it.

After two knives, a crack opened in the door, Ding Chen reversed the handle and knocked on it, and the door lock fell off, and then Ding Chen inserted the black knife into the door, sled hard, and opened the small door on the tower.

The space inside is larger than expected, because the upper part is not enclosed and the air does not feel cloudy.

The three of them drilled into it in turn, and then found that there was a steel platform at every certain height inside the hollow of the tower, on which not only could people lie down, but also because there was a railing on the side to protect it, there was no need to worry about falling.

Ding Chen took the lead in climbing up, making sure that the steel ladder and platform could still bear the weight of people, so he beckoned the two people to climb up as well, and each chose a platform to prepare for the night.

It was the best resting place they had found in three days, and everything was fine except for the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the cavity at the top of the tower.
