Chapter 36 Underground Tunnels II
Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, glanced sideways behind him, looked at the girl again, and found that she had been nervously peeking at the gun, so he said to her: "This is a gun, but this gun is used to fight monsters, you are such a beautiful little girl, I will not use this on you, you put a hundred hearts!" ”
"You're lying!" The girl suddenly screamed, this scream made Sun Yan jump, blinked, and stammered: "What are you lying, I didn't lie, I said I wouldn't shoot you, just won't, what?" Are you still afraid that my brother will not be able to lie to you? ”
"You said that you are a state cadre, and the state cadre came out to investigate why he still took a gun, it is clear that you are lying!" The little girl is aggressive.
Sun Yan didn't know how to refute for a while, so he laughed dryly and said: "But there are monsters in Lop Nur now, these monsters eat people, and I will be killed without a gun!" ”
The little girl stared at Sun Yan in disbelief, her eyes didn't blink, she stared for more than a minute, the goosebumps on Sun Yan's body rose, and she wanted to say something to appease the other party, but the two things she was not good at were dealing with women or children, and the other party accounted for two things, and she was so vigilant about herself, Sun Yan suddenly lost her mind, thought for a long time, and only opened her mouth and said: "Do you open the door first, just this lock, you open it." As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at the big lock.
The girl shook her head and took two steps back, Sun Yan saw that she seemed to be leaving, and her body was stuck to the iron door with a "bang", the girl said "ah", turned around and ran into the darkness, no matter how Sun Yan shouted, it was useless.
The surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, but Sun Yan's ears began to "buzz", he quickly stretched out his arm outside the iron gate, and swept it with a flashlight, and there were still dilapidated tunnels within a light range of more than ten meters ahead, but there were some rusty shovels and pickaxes scattered on the ground. And at the junction of darkness and light, the girl was no longer visible.
"Hey! Are you still there?! Sun Yan shouted at the top of his voice, but the voice disappeared at the end of the tunnel but there was no response.
After a while, the surroundings were quiet again, Sun Yan exhaled, he turned his head to look at the two people hanging on the door, motionless, he used a flashlight to shine, and found that it was indeed a dead person, and it seemed that they had been dead for a long time, and the skin of both of them was rotten to sauce black, but traces of the virus could still be found on them, and some green cotton wool extended from their slightly open mouths, like a plant sprouting, and there were a few teeth on it that were not completely rotten. Their arms were stuck outside the iron gate, stretching out, and from the outfit they looked, they looked like miners here.
Looking at these two dead people, Sun Yan suddenly felt that what he had just encountered was a little unreliable, he looked at this pit again, and said strangely, how could there be a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in this kind of place? Could it be that she lives in this tunnel, or maybe there is an exit at the other end of the tunnel, and this girl accidentally ran in?
However, judging from the signs that had just happened, this girl seemed to be very familiar with this tunnel, otherwise she would not have lured him here, and judging by the shabby clothes on her body, it seemed that she had been trapped here for a long time.
Sun Yan took a breath, the big bag on the back of his head still hurt badly, and he suddenly had an idea, could it be that everything he saw just now was his own imagination? In other words, there was no little girl at all, he climbed through the low hole and ran into the tunnel, and the series of conversations with the little girl were hallucinations caused by him hitting his head?
Once he thought like this in this situation, he would feel that the atmosphere around him was extremely strange, and he hurriedly shook his head to dispel this thought. Tremblingly, he picked up the big lock hanging on the iron door, and had a strong impulse in his heart to let him out of this iron door, and he always had a bad premonition that nothing good would happen to be trapped here.
However, although this iron lock is very rusty, it is not so easy to pry open, not to mention that it is impossible for Sun Yan to come to Lop Nur with the tools to pick the lock. It was not easy to try to open it, and I searched all over the body and found no toggle tools such as steel wires and patches. In desperation, he had to take out a few keys at home and try to insert them into the lock hole one by one, as long as one key can be fully inserted, there may be a 40% chance that it can be opened. A few keys took turns to try, and finally one of the keys could barely be inserted, but after the key went in, it couldn't turn, Sun Yan wiped the hot sweat on his head, cursed in his heart, and then kicked on the iron door.
This foot went up to the iron door "clang" and sounded, and the two corpses hanging on the door were shaken down. This road is impassable, it seems that he can only retreat, and it is impossible to let Sun Yan drill back from that low hole, but the other end of this tunnel has not been explored, and there will be no iron door, if this is the case, then he is really a little powerless.
Thinking about him, he turned around and walked quickly to the other end of the tunnel, and after a while he came to the low hole he had just climbed out, he didn't even stop, just squinted and glanced at it and continued to walk forward, and then the road surface of the pit began to be badly damaged, and then Sun Yan found that there was a broken track on the ground in the middle of the road, and there was a broken wooden box next to the rail, and a minecart.
Sun Yan walked over and flashed a flashlight, and saw a few wrenches and pickaxes in the wooden box, and a ball of rope on the side, the rope was rotten and broken into several sections.
However, seeing that there was such a useful tool, Sun Yan was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that this was really an endless road, if there was still no way out of the pit ahead, he would take this tool back to pick the lock.
So, he bent down and picked up a fairly sturdy pickaxe and held it in his hand. got up and looked at the minecart next to him, there was water in the car, but the color of the water was so turbid that it was not shapely, and there were some indescribable impurities floating on it, Sun Yan only glanced at it and gave up, and continued to walk forward.
The railroad tracks on the ground were broken one by one, almost only about thirty meters long, and when he stepped on it, Sun Yan found that there was no road ahead, a huge stone slab was in the middle of the road, and behind the stone slab were some translucent stones like crystal, piled up as high as a hill.
At first, Sun Yan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately thought that he had discovered potassium salt, which is one of the country's urgently needed mineral resources, and there are not many resource reserves, but in the barren land of Xinjiang, the reserves are very rich, Sun Yan immediately speculated that there may be very rich brine mines in this place where he is located.
But in the next second, his mind jumped, and he immediately realized that the color of the pile of translucent crystalline stones in front of him was a little strange, he picked up a stone rolling at his feet and looked at it, and found that this translucent stone was still wrapped in a stone, and the shape of the stone inside was extremely irregular, with dense small holes on it, and some pale yellow substances overflowed from the hole and wrapped in the outside of the hole stone, like egg white wrapped in egg yolk, so take a closer look, a stone actually has three layers inside and out.
Sun Yan picked up another one and found that the two stones were exactly the same, and the third, fourth, and fifth stones were the same
When Sun Yan lowered his head and was surprised by the appearance of these strange stones, there was a sudden sound on the stone pile, Sun Yan was startled, hurriedly raised his head, and saw a small head popping up at the top of the stone pile, shaking it and disappearing, Sun Yan didn't see it clearly, when he was stunned, the head shook out again, Sun Yan immediately used a flashlight to take a photo, and saw a flesh-colored faceless creature crawling up from under the stone pile, and a giant tail more than one meter long dangled and crackled and crackled the stones.
Seeing this thing, Sun Yan's scalp exploded, and he immediately couldn't stand up. I was in the straight hole above to escape this monster.,I accidentally fell into the cave below.,I didn't expect to come to this pit and meet this thing!
However, the monster didn't seem to notice Sun Yan, and the giant tail swayed twice and sat down on the stone pile gracefully, and then Sun Yan saw a second, third, and fourth things crawling out from behind the stone pile one after another
Holy, so much! Sun Yan instantly gasped, and took a few steps back in fear, and when he retreated, the few things on the top immediately noticed something, and they all straightened up all of a sudden, their tails stood up high, and they turned their heads around vigilantly.
Looking at these ghostly faces, Sun Yan's foot didn't have time to hit the ground, and he stopped in mid-air, until he was so sore that he couldn't do it, and then he carefully put it down. As soon as the foot hit the ground, the few things twisted their necks a few times in a strange way.
Sun Yan's eyes widened, and his heart said strangely, could it be that this thing has no eyesight, but it is very sensitive to sound? He thought about shaking the flashlight in his hand, but the other party didn't react, and then, Sun Yan slowly squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it into a corner of the stone pile, as soon as the stone landed, the monsters on the top bounced up like crazy, and rushed towards the direction where the stone landed, and suddenly opened his bloody mouth, tearing and trying to bite something, but the place was empty, and several monsters took a few bites, only to realize that something was wrong, and gradually calmed down, and circled around in place a few times, He slowly returned to the stone pile.
Sun Yan's body stiffened like a stone statue for a while, he didn't dare to breathe, and the palm of his hand holding the pickaxe had become wet. I thought that if these things rushed at once, I would definitely be torn to pieces
