Chapter XXVI
"What the hell is this place?" James walked out of the room and took care of everything around him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This room belongs to the corner of a corridor, James illuminates the corridor with a miner's lamp, the empty corridor is scattered with some papers, the dusty glass reflects the light of James's miner's lamp, and the metallic luster of some instruments and equipment in the glass is looming, and the atmosphere becomes very weird.
"It wasn't caused by a neurological virus, it was the cause of that room." Kyle shuddered at the thought that he had almost been killed by an unlocked door.
If they hadn't noticed, they might have been trapped in that room forever, trapped by their own subconscious.
"Hurry up and save someone, she's still alive, it's not an illusion." Wang Xiaoming took the pendant around his neck, looked at the red light floating in the pendant crystal, and said eagerly.
This pendant is an induction pendant made according to the principle of quantum entanglement, but this induction is not as trans-space and cross-dimensional as quantum. It's just some electromagnetic signal, yes, it should be said that it's photon entanglement. When the two specially marked photon originals are packed into two crystals. As long as the crystal is not damaged, the holder of the crystal is in the same space, and the electromagnetic signal is not shielded, the state of the other photonic element can be determined by the reaction on the photonic element, and the closer the distance between the two, the more active the light in the crystal will be.
"Look at this, she's around here." Wang Xiaoming stared at the light in the crystal like a phoenix bathing in fire, winding and rolling. Thinking of the gunshot just now, Wang Xiaoming ran downstairs regardless of it.
Kyle called out to Wang Xiaoming, but Wang Xiaoming ran downstairs as if he hadn't heard. Kyle looked at the bracelet on his arm, which was also a photon-sensing bracelet. But it hasn't been lit for years.
"Everybody keep up." After Kyle lost his mind for half a second, he also followed Wang Xiaoming downstairs.
"Wait for us." Yi San pulled Eve and followed.
"Hey, what are you guys?" James thought everyone was impulsive, so he shouted that they would come back.
As their footsteps grew farther and farther away, a dark wind blew from the room where they had been trapped just now, and James' back tingled.
"Hey, hey, you're waiting for me." James followed.
Just as James left, the door slowly closed because of the air current, air pressure, or the ventilation pipe. Beneath the two starry fluorescent plants, there are one or two shadows shaking.
Wang Xiaoming went down to the third floor in one go, and Kyle and Yi San followed. At the corner of the stairs, a group of people gasped for air. At this time, the eerie percussion sound became clearer.
"This should be the layer." Wang Xiaoming looked at the red light on the pendant, which was about to drip blood.
The more and more clear knocking sound looked even more weird in the empty corridor, but Wang Xiaoming, who was bent on saving people, didn't think about it so much, ran around the corridor vigorously, and suddenly came to the front of the door of a room.
Kyle: They followed.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew, I'm tired, think about the feelings of high-IQ people when you run, okay? James was panting with his hands on his knees.
"You see, there are footprints here, a lot of footprints." Yi San looked at the dusty corridor aisle, and the messy footprints of some military boots became very obvious under the miner's lamp.
"There are also bullet casings here, it should be the same group of people who shot just now, people on Mars." Kyle said, picking up a blackened carbon steel bullet case on the ground.
James's brain was starved of oxygen and highly stressed, and the sound of percussion amplified and amplified in his mind, looping indefinitely.
James had a flash of inspiration when he came to his senses.
"It's the Morse code, and this knock is the Morse code." James shouted.
When everyone heard this, they fell silent and listened attentively to the sound of the percussion.
Just listen to the "...... Bang bang ...... Bang~Bang~Bang~...... Bang bang bang...... Bang~Bang~Bang...... Bang bang bang bang ......".
After listening carefully and quietly, they found that these sounds were repeated, and the sound segments of the cycle were roughly like this: first there was silence, then two rapid tappings, then three long and slow tappings, silence, then three rapid tappings, then three long and slow tappings, and after a relatively long silence, there were four rapid tappings, silence. Then enter the loop.
"Morse code, also known as Morse code, began in 1838 and ended in use in 1999. During this period, it has been applied as an international standard for maritime communications. In 1997, when the French Navy stopped using Morse code, the last message sent was: 'Attention, everyone, this is our last cry before we fall silent forever'. This became a classic quote. But nothing is silent forever. Because of the simplicity of the code, it is still used by the intelligence bureaus and special forces of various countries. Ordinary agents can convert Morse code into gesture communication. The advanced ones can also pass through the eyes. Others, such as abstract post-impressionist paintings, thread dots sewn onto clothes, and clothes hanging on the balcony to dry can hide the Morse code. James said with a few treasures.
"I know that. I've also memorized this Morse code sheet. "Yi San used to like to read detective novels, and when he went to play a live-action escape room, he had a brief Morse code experience. So at that time, I memorized the entire code comparison table.
Except for Eve, everyone knows the Morse Code.
The code for this percussion is: I-S-O-S-H.
In other order, it's hisos.
It is interpreted as: "Hello, help! ”
This makes the percussion even more eerie. Why do you have to say hello to someone who asks for help when you cry for help?
Either way, this code should be a distress signal from the person in the room.
"James, look at how this door gets in." Wang Xiaoming found that the door had been locked, and called James anxiously.
James leaned over and looked at the codedoor, his brows furrowed, "This is a military combination lock developed in Russia in the mid-21st century, and in addition to iris recognition, there is a 6-digit silent knob password. It may take a little time to crack this code. ”
"But it looks like the door has been opened just now." Kyle said, looking at the polished lock.
James turned on the ultraviolet lamp and carefully observed the combination lock, "This iris recognition system should have failed, and the opening of the combination lock will generally be in direct contact with the fingers, which will leave grease on the lock." These oils will appear orange under ultraviolet light. However, there is no color on this door lock. They are too cautious. ”
"You can look at the scratches and frays on the lock." Wang Xiaoming looked at the glowing pendant and looked very impatient.
"I know, don't rush me. Be quiet! I can hear if the silent knob lock is old, and whether the edges of the connection are aging. James put his ear to the edge of the lock and slowly twisted the combination lock.
"This lock is so advanced, and after so many years, the internal structure is still very intact." James said disappointedly.
When James observed the wear and scratches on the edge of the lock, he didn't intend to find anything, after all, the frequency and frequency of use of this lock should not be high. But, unexpectedly, James saw scratches engraved with a knife.
"What is this?" James wondered.
Everyone leaned over and saw some obvious scratches left by manual knives on the top of the lock. It's all scratches horizontally and vertically.
This scratch is first one vertical and one horizontal, then three vertical, two horizontal, and finally vertical.
"Could this be Morse code too? This vertical should be the point, because the knife will not be obvious if it leaves a dot mark on the metal, so it is replaced by a vertical. That's how it translates. Yi San was thoughtful.
"a-v-n,e-b-g,e-t-s-g,......,r-u-n,l-a-n......" James is calculating the likelihood of this set of passwords.
"Wait." Kyle tells James to stop.
"It's R-U-N," Kyle, Wang Xiaoming, and Yi San said in unison.
"Run, it's an escape. This door reminds us to run away. James said in surprise.
"So what do we do?" Eve was nervously asking everyone.
"How can we give up when we encounter this difficulty, and we still have to save people, don't forget the purpose of our business." Wang Xiaoming's position is very firm, just to save people, "It's a big deal, I'll bomb the door for him." ”
"Maybe this run is still a set of passwords, I'll try this set of passwords." James said as he began to spin the knob combination lock.
I saw that the knob hand stopped in the following order: 18-21-14.
James converted the order of run in the alphabet into Arabic numerals and typed them directly.
Just listen to the "click" and the door is opened! I didn't expect the door to be opened like this!
Wang Xiaoming looked at the two people lying in a pool of blood at the door, and his eyes were split, because one of them was the woman he had been thinking about for a long time.
Wang Xiaoming rushed up desperately to hug her, his eyes were full of tears, and he was softly calling her name, "Cuihua ......", "Cuihua".
Kyle runs into the room with his gun in hand, and the miner's lamp shines inside, ready to shoot in the direction of the miner's lamp.
Everyone came in, stunned by what was going on.
I saw two yellow men lying at the door who had been shot several times, and there were five corpses in the room, three of whom had just been shot and died, and the two bodies in the corner had been dead for a long time. The corpses have been air-dried.
It is a base shelter that stores food and medicine for emergency use.
Wang Xiaoming hugged the yellow woman, although the woman was skinny, but it was obvious that she was not very old, her sallow face was full of pain, and a trace of tears flowed out of her closed eyes, slowly flowing through her cheeks and seeping into her dry hair.
"Emerald flowers. Wake up. Wang Xiaoming couldn't cry.
"This woman is in tears." As a woman, Eve carefully noticed that the woman named Cuihua was still in tears.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the tears left by Cuihua and felt grief in his heart, and instantly became ecstatic again.
Wang Xiaoming immediately took out a cell repair solution from his backpack and injected it into Cuihua, and at the same time, Eve, as a medical worker, quickly knelt beside Cuihua, first injected her with glucose and insulin, and then injected a cardiotonic agent.
Cuihua woke up slowly, looked at the familiar face in front of her and thought it was a dream, and tears couldn't help but flow more and more, "Xiao Ming, is it you?" Xiao Ming, am I dying? ”
"Cuihua, it's me, you're not dead, you're not dead." Wang Xiaoming cried.
Immediately, Cuihua suddenly thought of something, her eyes became very terrifying, and she shouted hoarsely to Wang Xiaoming: "You go quickly, you get out of here quickly!" If you don't leave, it's too late. ”
Kyle and Yi San turned to look at the woman in surprise.
