Chapter 6: The Unexpected
"Anyway, don't you think this place is a little too small?" Chen Zaihai, who had just come down, said, "It feels a lot worse than the roof." ”
I also feel this way when he says this, the rooftop used to be full of all of us rich, but now it feels a little inexplicably crowded. The most suspicious thing is that there is nothing on this level except the door, as if it was deliberately isolated by the designer.
Could there be any special purpose for this? The Japanese never built this floor to raise flowers, and sure enough, it is better to be careful in everything.
"Lou? Do you think this thing can be called a building? Open the entrance on top. "Talia came over and screwed out my miner's lamp, maybe she was angry that I wasted the battery" Maybe there are other rooms on this floor, don't think too much. ”
After that, all of us turned our attention to the only door in this room, and Chen Zaihai and Nie Chuanhui cautiously walked over with the miner's lamp to observe. The two of them went to explore the way, and the rest of the people took their guns and aimed, which almost became our fixed pattern. Although I'm a little sorry for the two people who explored the path, it's better than sending everyone to death if something happens.
What's more, in order to reduce the pressure on the engineers, there must be me, Chen Zaihai, and one of Talia among the two people at a time. Any era of leaders who hide behind and only let the minions die will not end well. As the leader in the eyes of the engineers, we must have the appearance of a leader, and if we ask them to do everything, this team will be finished long ago.
When the two of them walked to the door, they were visibly flustered, which made us even more nervous, and a lot of cold sweat broke out in the palms of the guns in their hands. After that, Nie Chuanhui squatted down and knocked on them, as if he was confirming something. A few minutes later, the two of them waved us over.
"It's the same as the one on the previous tower, with a three-defense structure." After seeing us coming, Nie Chuanhui knocked on the door again, and his voice sounded so porcelain, "Without explosives, the total directional blasting can't be solved at all." ”
Indeed, as Nie Chuanhui said, the blue-gray door, there is a finger-thick rivet on the door frame every few centimeters, and this thing makes people feel sturdy when they look at it......
"Dynamite? Where to find this kind of thing? Ivan may have a lot of them, but we're moving lightly. Aren't you quite clever? Think of a way, don't think about what you want to be a squad leader. Chen Zaihai was speechless.
"That...... I said, Chief Chen, don't be difficult for us. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, we don't have explosives, we don't have expanders, at least we need a crowbar, right? We have shovels, so we can't dig a hole in the door for you, can we? When Nie Chuanhui heard that he might not be able to be the squad leader, he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Hey! Do you still dare to talk back? Drag me up? Did you graduate from high school? Chen Zaihai didn't seem to be able to accept Nie Chuanhui's rhetoric at all, and chased after him to find a way.
"Chen Zaihai, be quiet for me! Don't embarrass Xiao Nie, there's no way, there's no way. Talia, who couldn't stand it on the sidelines, had to stop it.
Hearing this, Chen Zaihai immediately quieted down, and sure enough, this kid was afraid of Talya. And Nie Chuanhui was even more relieved, he was going to be chased like this again, and he really cried.
Although it has quieted down, our essential problems have not been solved. I was out of supplies when I was forced here by that monster.
At first we wanted to try our luck and find a way back to the surface of the tunnel, but now that's not possible. I don't know how deep it is, but I keep going down.
If it weren't for the strange death of that engineer who left us all on pins and needles, we wouldn't have chosen this path in a panic. There are no regrets in the world, and now it's too late to turn back. Turning around without knowing the weirdness of this volcanic rock tunnel is like looking for death.
And here is the power distribution station we have been looking for, and it is likely that there will be a lot of supplies we urgently need here. Abandoning this would mean that we would have to find another distribution station in less than a week.
We have no idea where these train tunnels are located and where they are going, and if we lose this one, we will probably never find the next, and the situation does not allow us to take such a risk.
Thinking of this, I took advantage of this opportunity to quietly squat down and turn on the miner's lamp and observe the folding door. Sure enough, it is very similar to the one on the top floor of the signal tower, and it makes people feel very thick when they look at it, and eighty percent of it was built in the same period. Manpower alone can't move it at all.
I didn't know anything about architecture and lost interest in the door after looking at it for a while, and when I was about to get up and turn off the miner's lamp, a strange reflection suddenly flashed in the corner of my eye.
I immediately turned the miner's lamp and looked in that direction, which was supposed to be the corner of the door. I looked at it and said that sure enough, it was really an endless road. The door wasn't completely sealed, it still had a small gap.
And the cause of all this is a small fountain pen, and the light just now is the reflection of the miner's lamp when it hits the metal shell of the fountain pen.
"Didn't Su Zhenpeng tell you to turn off the miner's lamp? At this time, I don't know how to save the battery. "In the end, I still attracted Taria, and she immediately stopped scolding Chen Zaihai for coming to me.
I immediately pointed out the pen I had just found to her, and at first she thought I was talking nonsense. But after looking at it for a while, she realized that it was true, and she snatched my miner's lamp, and crouched down to carefully observe the pen that was a little deformed from the back door.
"I've seen this pen." After looking at it for a moment, Talia stood up and turned back to us.
"Have you seen it? Is there anyone you know who is writing? Chen Zaihai, who had listened to me explain what was going on, asked.
Talia didn't say anything, but reached into the pocket of her jacket and fumbled for something. This action seemed to highlight her already plump breasts a little too much, and our eyes were unconsciously attracted to it
It didn't take long for Talia to pull something out of it, and we looked at it to see that it was also a fountain pen, and it was very similar to the one that was sandwiched between them.
"It's a pen that we use on our team, and I can't be mistaken. The presence of the pen indicates that the task force has been there before. Talia said.
It was a surprise discovery, we knew from the information at the mouth of the tunnel that the task force had entered the area, but we didn't expect us to find out where they were by mistake. That's a good thing, and if we can join the task force, we'll be able to get supplies.
I remember what Ivan said at the beginning, that the task force was carrying a lot of specialized equipment and supplies. Although they had sternly warned against approaching this, we were forced by the form, and the task force should forgive us.
It is possible that the pen was accidentally dropped by a member of the task force. It's worth the fun of something like this, the task force was clearly here at one point, but judging by the traces along the way, they didn't hit it (at least we didn't find any recent blood on the walls).
Perhaps they know the way to this tunnel, and to join the task force that is familiar with this place, which is a great temptation for us.
Just when I was analyzing alone, Chen Zaihai had already begun to beckon Nie Chuanhui and the other engineers to open the door. Corresponding to its heavy appearance, the weight of this thing did not seem to be light, and a few men were tired and blushing, and it took a gap that was barely passable for people to open.
Behind the three-proof gate is a dark corridor that descends, and there are a few red emergency lights on the walls intermittently, and there seems to be an electrical system in operation.
I don't see the entrance to the other rooms, it seems that this is really the entire second floor, if so, then how thick are the walls here?
Unlike the second floor, the first floor is much more spacious, and in order to get a full picture of this floor, Talia specially allowed us to turn on the three miner's lamps. It became clear that it was a large square space. One corner of the room was a mess of miscellaneous items, many cables gathered from one wall to another, and finally passed to a machine that had never been seen before, and from a distance this machine looked like a huge bookcase, with many book-like things distributed in all directions, and many switches on it. The wall farthest away from us was filled with more useless worktops.
It seems that this is the power distribution station. But then we heard from Nie Chuanhui that the power distribution room seemed to be just one of the functions of this room. The cable room, the distribution room, the transformer room, the capacitor room, all of which should have been built separately, seem to be all gathered together. From an engineering point of view, this is very dangerous, and once the power leakage or short circuit can cause a huge accident and unimaginable casualties of large-scale power outages.
However, given the overall size of the black box, there is nothing wrong with this, and this kind of thing should not have been built next to a speeding train. The Japanese are crazy enough, and if one day the train derails and crashes here, then wait for the sky to fall.
Talia immediately sent the engineers out to check the integrity of the equipment in the room, if only the power system could be activated.
Since we didn't know anything about these things, Chen Zaihai and I had to go to the debris pile in the corner to find treasures. It was like a place where the staff's daily belongings were piled up, and there was a mess of everything.
Chen Zaihai and I are like waste pickers, rummaging and searching in it. The whole process was so much fun that I even found a bottle of sake. Chen Zaihai was even more powerful, he was stunned and pulled out a Japanese katana that was still well preserved, saying that it was really an ordinary electrician working here, not some alcoholic officer?
In the end, we sorted out the findings, 5 sets of complete three-proof protective clothing and gas masks, three flashlights, a few energy-saving batteries (there were a lot of painstaking efforts to find out what was not broken from them), a considerable number of matches, and a lot of electrician tools for maintenance lines.
This is really a treasure, and the lighting crisis has eased a lot at once. It's a pity that we didn't find any food, and of course we didn't dare to eat it, it was all expired for decades. We immediately called a few idle engineers to pack them up, and Chen Zaihai and I took the opportunity to keep the sake and katana for ourselves.
During this time, Talia seems to be looking around for clues left by the task force, and it seems that things are not going well
"Chiefs, the power system here seems to be working." Nie Chuanhui shouted excitedly from the side.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and open it." Before Talia could react, Chen Zaihai hurriedly ran over.
"That, Chief Chen, don't push me! It's easy to leak! Nie Chuanhui was shocked.
"How do you open it? Wouldn't it be nice to pull this gate down? Chen Zaihai asked.
"Chen Zaihai and so on! Don't pull that brake! This time, Talia shouted, and the voice was almost out of her throat. She shouted and ran towards Chen Zaihai like crazy.
It's a pity that after getting Nie Chuanhui's confirmation, Chen Zaihai pulled the gate down without saying a word. After a slight buzzing sound, the machine started.
"It's over! Finished! We're all going to die here now! "Talia was like a puppet with a broken string, and her whole body was spread on the ground.
