Chapter 55: The Factory in the Mountains
After leaving the stone room, when I didn't go far along a road, I saw a fork in the road ahead, each corresponding to a road. Since the last time my image appeared on the letterhead, the relationship between the three of us has become a little more delicate. Maybe Li Yu and I are outsiders, Gong Hui began to become a little repulsive and wary of us, compared to Gong Hui's distrust of me, Li Yu is just the opposite.
I didn't know what danger lay ahead, so I proposed that we all walk the same way, but Gong Hui couldn't resist him, he insisted on taking one path each, so Gong Hui took the left road, while Li Yu and I walked towards the right one. Looking at Gong Hui, who was drifting away, he always felt that something was going to happen, but he had no ability to solve the unknown danger.
Seeing that I didn't move, Li Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned to me and asked, "Xiao Ke, are you still worried about the incident just now?" ”。
After hearing the sound, I hurriedly shook my head and explained: "I feel that something is always going to happen, and the distance is getting closer and closer", as I spoke, I smiled self-deprecatingly, hurriedly waved my hand, shook off the distracting thoughts in my mind, and signaled to Li Yu with my eyes, we should also go on the road.
The fork in the road on the right hand side was longer than any of the roads I had walked before. I probably estimated in my mind that I had walked for about half an hour, and if I had walked at a rate of one meter per second, and it would have remained the same, it would be 1,800 meters. I'm starting to wonder if I've encountered something I shouldn't have encountered last time.
Fortunately, a bright light began to come from a distance, and then I smelled a thick, pungent smell that sounded like a smell of charcoal. When I got closer, I realized that the light was coming from a stone room. I saw that the large stone room was full of charcoal, which made the surrounding walls start to darken, and in the corner of a certain place, there were more than hundreds of shackles made of iron.
Li Yu and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. At this time, a question popped into my mind: why is it so bright here? I still remember when I walked in, it was almost night, and it was starting to get dark.
I tried to look at the top of the cave and was surprised to find that the wall above my head was inlaid with some white glittering stones, and the light emitted from these stones was somewhat similar to the legendary "luminous stone" function.
Although the shackles and mountains of charcoal in front of us made us feel a little confused, Li Yu and I couldn't help but feel that the mystery was being solved. The wooden door of the stone chamber was suddenly opened by me, and since the entrance to the cave was not very large, this time I walked to the front first, and in less than five minutes, I suddenly came to the end, and as a bright light came in, I walked out of the hole, and I could not help but be shocked by the scene in front of me. These exist in the depths of the mountains!
The first thing that caught my eye was a towering tower in front of me. The shape of the tower is not upright, but rather a twisted tornado, which is somewhat uneven, and at the top, that is, at the top, there is a lid shaped like a mushroom, and it is hard to imagine that there was such a construction technique at that time.
Secondly, we see that this is a large hollowed-out mountain range, and the whole roof of the cave is a raised pot lid, and on the opposite ground, it looks like a concave pot lid. As to why I am so sure, it is because in front of me, around the tower, there are all sorts of large boilers, and mountains of charcoal, each of which leads to the top wall above. In addition to the glow-in-the-dark stone embedded in the surrounding stone walls, there was also a moonlight that fell straight from the roof of the cave. Through that small slit, I could just see the moon hanging in mid-air.
I really didn't expect that there would be a "factory" hidden behind the mountain, and those shackles that I saw before can be explained, and they must be slaves who are forced to work. I slowly cleared my thoughts, looked at the tall tower standing in front of me, and couldn't help but look towards Li Yu, "An intuition tells me to uncover the mystery here, it's in that tower, do you want to go with me."
As if he didn't expect me to say this, Li Yu glanced at me in surprise, and then replied: "Xiao Ke, I hope you can remember a fact. The former Xiao Ye is no longer there, I'm Li Yu, do you think I'll not go? Li Yu asked me rhetorically, I couldn't answer for a while, and at this time, on the side to our right, there was a sound of pacing.
The person who came was none other than Gong Hui, who had been separated before, and like me before, Gong Hui was also surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. I looked at the figure that seemed to be holding back, and I couldn't help but ask myself if I was wrong. At this time, a question flashed in my mind: where the psychic antelope had gone, and I hadn't noticed it before.
I can't care so much, I exchanged my opinions with Li Yu with Gong Hui, and surprisingly Gong Hui was very calm this time, and didn't react anything, just nodded simply, so the question in front of us now is, how to safely end that tower?
Looking at the surrounding route, there is no direct path to reach the tower. Instead, I had to go down first, and I compared the surrounding routes, drew five routes on a piece of paper, and immediately chose the nearest one of the five routes, walked towards the ladder in front of my feet, and began to walk downward.
Things went very smoothly and there was no danger. The more this is the case, the more I dare not be careless, and the danger that I can't see is the most dangerous! Corresponding to the road map I had drawn earlier, I took the lead in leading the way, and gradually, a chill began to come towards us.
It's a weird feeling. The chill was not brought by the wind, for the whole cave was quiet, and there was not even a trace of wind. The chill was felt from the depths of my heart, as if there was something not far ahead, and as the distance got closer, the chill became more and more into.
It didn't take long for us to see all kinds of broken clothes on the ground in front of us, all over the place, and to our surprise, countless bones were scattered all over the ground. Thinking of the shackles in the stone chamber before, I couldn't help but have a flash of light in my mind, it was very likely that there was a burial pit under our feet! If you think that there are hundreds of shackles in a stone chamber, how many slaves are needed in this closed "big factory"!
I lowered my head, looked at the map that had just been drawn not long ago, and according to the above hints, there should be an exit in front of us, although I didn't see it very clearly, but there was a gap that was accurate, and at this moment, in front of us, it was completely closed, and there was no way out at all.
Feeling that something was wrong, I was just about to change the way, and I was surprised to find that the intersection we came in had disappeared inexplicably, that is to say, I, Li Yu, and Gong Hui were trapped in a stone wall more than three meters high on all sides.
I tried to soothe the restlessness in my heart, and began to walk towards the side of the wall, and was surprised to find that these stone walls were too hard than the real golden stone, and it was impossible to break through it. What's even more sad is that these walls have been polished by someone with a heart before, with a mirror-like smooth surface, if you want to jump up, it is impossible. It seems that God is giving us a problem, and all the methods we can think of have been thought of, so are we going to wait here for death? (To be continued.) )
