Chapter 24: Coma

We didn't stop Talia, and while it was a bit bad to waste precious alcohol, it was okay to do so given Taria's mood.

Because of that vent, at least we don't lose oxygen because of the cremation of the body.

"Don't you think it's strange? If this outlet leads to the outside, how can we still be alive? Chen Zaihai suddenly realized a very important problem.

I thought, yes. Now that the outside is full of hot water vapor, why is it that only ordinary air is coming in through this vent?

"No fuss." Taria, who had returned to normal, wiped the tears from her face, "This is a shelter specially set up by the Japanese, so the air supply must have been calculated a long time ago, right?" How much does it take to cool down the water vapor? ”

It makes sense for Talia to say this, the Japanese don't say anything else, they are still very efficient. Lack of oxygen is a problem that we can all think of, and their engineers can't think of it.

Looking at the task force who had turned into a pile of charred black matter, I still felt an indescribable heaviness in my heart. How this man got into the vent is a complete mystery.

That kind of fracture like a whole body shattering, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like this vent can be caused by this vent, he was already like this before he got here.

Could it be that someone threw him in it? This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, after all, there is an unknown force involved in this besides us.

If this is really man-made, we have to be more careful. On the other side, there is definitely a very character who kills people without blinking, and this kind of inhumane technique can be used.

There's no way we're going to take the body of this task force. I'm sorry for him, but we still have our way to go. The emergency lights in the shelter were flashing all the time, and the steam outside showed no sign of fading.

What's going on? I glanced down at the watch on my wrist, it had been a long time, and the steam had not changed at all.

In our perception, this steam will dissipate very quickly. So all of our plans after that were based on this premise. Even now, we don't realize the seriousness of the problem, the high hot water vapor will quickly condense into water, and the temperature here will drop down very quickly. All of this could be wishful thinking, what if the steam erupts outside the power plant? It's always going to be that hot.

Chen Zaihai reassured me that things would not turn out like this, that he had studied geology, and that water vapor eruptions in volcanic areas were intermittent and did not last for a long time. Although the scale we encountered was very large, we could not escape this law.

Later, I realized that Chen Zaihai had missed something very important, maybe he had forgotten it at all, or maybe he didn't want to increase the pressure on us. That is the duration of each eruption of steam.

If you are scared of yourself, something will definitely happen, so it's better to keep your spirits up now and prepare to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible in the future. The place is obviously very heat-tolerant, and after being surrounded by high hot steam for so long, I looked at the temperature shown on the thermometer and there was no noticeable change.

We waited for about three hours, nothing changed, and we began to get sleepy in a daze. The conversation between Chen Zaihai and Talia also became distant and close, what is wrong with me? In terms of time, I shouldn't have been sleepy so early.

As much as I wanted to resist, drowsiness was so unreasonable. Without any specific movements, my consciousness sank into the depths of sleep. , am I really that tired? Just as I was about to lose consciousness, I seemed to sense something changing in the Vault, but at this point I didn't have the ability to investigate what was going on

When I woke up again, I don't know how long it had been. It's pitch black all around, and there's no light. What's going on, I remember that we were still in that vault.

I suddenly felt a chill all over my body, and I immediately lost all my sleepiness. What happened before I fell asleep? So why did the emergency lights go out? What about Chen Jaehai and Talia? I tried to scream a few times, my voice was hoarse and ugly, is this really my voice?

There was no answer

I'm not going to be left alone again, am I? Thinking of this, for no apparent reason, I fell into an extreme panic in that instant! It was joked! Why do I always encounter this kind of thing! I didn't have any lighting on me, not even food or anyone, and my throat felt unusually dry, and I knew I wouldn't be too heavy with the water.

Chen Zaihai: Are they really gone? Left me here alone while I was asleep? No, they're not that heartless, I can assure you.

So who came in and took them away? It's possible, but it's not big, and some of us won't be so easy to grab it.

But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, I was asleep, but what guarantee did I have for sure that Chen Zaihai was awake? If they fall asleep too, then there is no way to be carried. So why just leave me alone? I really can't figure it out, I have a splitting headache, and I can't think of anything.

At this time, I realized that my whole body shrank in fear, and I couldn't get up or down in my chest. There was still no movement, and it seemed that I was really the only one left in this dark space.

People in our time were very straight-minded, and they didn't know how to turn around when they thought about things. If you don't believe me, ask your parents who grew up in that era. At that time, no matter who was in the model drama, it was still a black and white movie, and the plot was very straightforward. If you look at the beginning, you will know the end, and it is clear who is good and who is bad. It's not anyone's problem, that's what was characteristic of that era. It's easy for me to influence others, and it's easy for people to influence.

It may also have something to do with the limited information we have access to, and the fact that our staff in these countries are okay and can learn about the outside world from time to time. Ordinary people are really simple to the extent that they don't close their doors at night. In a sense, it was a good time.

Although I went to university and was relatively open-minded, I still couldn't escape the shackles of the times. The ability to deal with too complex problems is still not as good as that of today's children. That's why the next decade was so profoundly affected.

This is also one of the reasons why I admire Lin Yiru and am attracted to her. Her mind was fundamentally different from ours, and for a while I couldn't figure out what she meant by the way she looked at us, and it took me a long time to realize that it was the way an adult looked at a child. A look that knows everything but is forced to look at the frightening words of a group of fools.

It can also be said that it is a lonely look, a look that no one understands.

But that's all for later, and what I want to express is how naïve I was when I hadn't experienced those stories, and I didn't think at the time that the most important thing to do at that time was to confirm the existence of other people.

Whether it is touched or shouted, a person who is blind and afraid is simply a fool's behavior. The more tendons you have in your brain, the more you don't know how to respond to danger.

"Hey, why did I fall asleep? Lao Su, was it you who was shouting just now? The light of the flashlight suddenly lit up in front of my eyes, it was Chen Zaihai's flashlight, "Why is the light going out?"

To be honest, I never thought Chen Zaihai's voice was so beautiful, I wanted to hug him and kiss him.

It turns out that I was just a blind toss, and no one disappeared. Of course, there are no more people, I am still very sensitive to this recently, after experiencing the time of pretending to be Chen Zaihai in the previous Stonehenge

"So we all fell asleep just now?" Taria, who had just come to her senses, asked.

"It's not so much that we fell asleep, but that we all lost consciousness for a while," I recall, and it was a completely different feeling than I used to feel like I wanted to sleep due to fatigue.

And I remember that at the last moment when I lost consciousness, it was as if something had kicked in. In a daze, I always heard a gurgling sound, but when I woke up, it was gone.

"Hurry up and check if there's anything missing." Talia said.

We turned the miner's lamp back on and began to check our gear. Nothing is missing, and I can finally put my mind at ease, and at this time, it is a big trouble to miss anything.

But I still have a feeling that something is missing, what's going on? To see where this feeling came from, I took the lamp from the hands of an engineer, and if anything less was not ours, it could only be from this shelter.

At first, the inner wall on our left was nothing but the one we had seen before, and the iron-gray wall looked lifeless.

After that, there is the one in front of me, and there is a picture on it that looks like a propaganda poster from the Great Leap Forward era, of course, it is still different, it seems to be a table-like thing, so don't touch it.

On the inner wall on the right, there is still nothing.

Then there was the ceiling, and I suddenly realized that I hadn't cared about the ceiling since I came in, and I wouldn't have realized that something was missing.

At this point, all I saw was a fan on top that was the same as the vent, but much larger. The fan blades were covered with dust and had rusted to death. I suddenly thought to myself that there wouldn't be a pile of corpses in there, right? I don't know when, they will fall piece by piece, and with the blood like a shower, all of them will fall on top of our heads

What was I thinking! How is this possible, even those enemies who don't know their body will not do such a thing, it's too bad fun.

In the end, there was only the wall on the other side of the emergency light, and the miner's lamp shone through, and there seemed to be no damage. Power outage? Or is there someone in the control room who turned it off?

After looking around, I confirmed that the vault was a large iron cabinet, not much different from the water tank in the submarine. Maybe it was just pulled over and transformed.

In desperation, I had no choice but to put the miner's lamp back

Just as I was about to hand over the lamp to the engineer, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I took it back, I thought I had missed something, and everything that should have existed there was right.

Fuck me! I realized something was missing! Because that thing was so deserved, we didn't pay attention to it.

Now that I think about it, disappearing in an instant halfway and coming back right away really doesn't attract our attention.

What disappeared in that moment was the spot of light of the miner's lamp! It disappeared for a split second as I shone into the emergency light! And this means that in this short period of movement, something that stands in its way has disappeared

There's only one thing there, the door we've been so desperate to close
