Chapter 46: The Underground Barracks
Chapter 46 Underground Barracks
After the smoke and dust, we were choked and coughed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The collapse caused by the explosion completely sealed the way back, and although the rodent infestation was solved, we were forced to move forward.
Fortunately, we didn't deviate from the map, and there were still a few circuitous routes to be found on the line, and although we weren't sure if those roads were passable, they still alleviated the anxiety of no turning back.
The loss in this crisis was not much, An An lost some equipment, and I was just a coat. It's a blessing in misfortune.
The underground world is at a constant temperature, and you don't feel cold without wearing an outer coat and just a shirt.
We didn't take a break and continued to move forward, and we didn't go far, when we suddenly found that the lights of the tunnel in front of us were flickering, and it must have been the bat gang whose conscience had not been exhausted, and they had come back to meet us.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, we didn't see the bats appear, and it wasn't until we walked a few hundred meters that we finally saw them again.
This is a huge natural cave, but it is filled with several corpses, densely layered and layered. And many of the corpses were dried corpses that had not decomposed, but only the shells remained after oxidation, but they were shockingly ugly.
Many corpses crowded the huge hole~ hole to only a small space, but at the end of this half-room-sized space were three narrow cave doors, and the bats and their little friends were wandering and hesitating in front of these three cave doors.
The short-tempered Qingfeng saw these goods that were on the verge of being taken off, so he was angry, and he opened his mouth to scold!
The mole and the black George were embarrassed, but the bat was as thick as granite, and innocently said that he had been greatly wronged! The reason why they didn't wait at the narrow mouth was because they had expected that I would blow up the road and the rat infestation had been resolved, and they were afraid that the area would be narrow and there would be too many people to move, so they moved forward first. If he really escaped, how could he wait here and disappear a long time ago.
In the face of such brazen people, I was also drunk. I'm too embarrassed to break him, if it weren't for the three roads here, these birdmen who are greedy for life and afraid of death would have run out of sight. It seems that it was a wise decision not to completely hand over the map to him.
After all, we have to walk together in the future, and we are too embarrassed to look good at each other, so I pretended to be deaf and dumb and chose the right path with reference to the map. But I looked at it for a long time, and suddenly I felt that something was not right, how could I not find our location on the map. What can I do?
The bat had already stretched his head over, and he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his face changed, and he said with some panic, "Oh no, we're on the wrong path!" ”
"How so?" I couldn't see what was wrong, so I tilted my head and asked.
The bat pointed to a point on the map and said, "We were here just now, and the rat swarm we encountered should have a turn forward, but we seem to be moving forward, so our position should be here now!" ”
I couldn't help frowning when I saw the position he was pointing to, this route was clearly in the underground river, next to the route he said he couldn't take. This underground tunnel is crisscrossed, and who can guarantee that they will not turn that way?
Seeing that we were undecided, Qingfeng was a little impatient, pointed to the mole and said, "You, have you walked this road before?" ”
"No," the mole was obedient, and shook his head in denial.
Qingfeng was a little annoyed when she heard this, she thought that the mole and the black George were in the way, so she pushed them aside, stepped forward to the three-way intersection, took out the wolf's eye flashlight and looked at them separately, the three roads led to three directions, each of them seemed to be exactly the same, and there was no difference.
"Since you don't know where to go, you can't just throw a coin and choose one!" Qingfeng can see it.
Yuan Meng walked over and looked at each other, and pointed to the lintel of the cave door, "Look, there are words!" ”
The mole had a quick mouth, and before he could finish the words "We had just ......" the surface of his foot was stomped by Medusa, and the pain was so painful that he almost burst into tears.
Bat smiled and quickly picked up the conversation, "It's strange to say, we just walked around here for a long time, and we didn't find the words on it, we are really blind." ”
Qingfeng said angrily with a pun, "You are not blind, we are!" ”
The bat was exposed in front of him, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt embarrassed, laughed dryly, and stopped making a sound.
I walked over and looked at Yuan Meng's finger, and sure enough, there was a line of small characters above the three cave doors, which were "impermanence", "ghost realm" and "past life". I gasped when I finished reading it. It's no wonder that the bats are hesitant here, and anyone who sees the famous three paths to the undead will hesitate.
None of these three names are Shengmen, and when we escaped, we deviated from the original route, although we did not deviate too far, but we should follow a path that leads to the direction of the final goal.
That's what I thought, but when I took out my compass and looked at it, I was dumbfounded!
The compass spins like a spinning top.
It's miserable! There must be a strong magnetic field nearby, so the compass will be disturbed by ~. But when I thought about it, there were more than 10 million dried corpses nearby, and the magnetic field generated by the yin qi would never be smaller. The compass doesn't work, but it does.
But there is no direction, so how to go, is it really as Qingfeng said, the coin toss can't be done.
At a loss for what to do, An An stood at the three-way intersection and suddenly said, "Of these three roads, only this one has obvious air flow, and the other two are lifeless." ”
I walked over and stretched out my hand~ to feel it, it's really. The road engraved with "Death", the hand ~ feels the wind, and the other two are indeed unresponsive.
"Since there is an air current, there must be a lot of space in front of this road, or it is the same as the outside, and it is safer to take this road." ”
What he said was a professional opinion, I have nothing to refute and am not prepared to refute, no one wants to choose an actionless path. So he nodded, "Now our people~lord votes, please raise your hand if you choose this road." ”
Not surprisingly, the crowd passed, "Okay, let's go!" I waved my hand.
After all, I was still not sure, and this time I was at the forefront. After all, with my skills, even in danger, I can react much faster than bats.
When I stepped into the door of death, I suddenly felt a chill on my body, and a cold air went straight into the pores of my sweat. But take a few steps and it's much better.
But after walking less than a hundred meters, the tunnel suddenly became narrow, and at the narrowest point, we had to turn sideways to get through.
Just when we thought we were on the wrong path, the front suddenly opened up, and we walked out of the tunnel and were actually in a cave.
And it is surrounded by ancient collapsed buildings, although you can't see the original architectural style, let alone what age it is, but the scale is not small. There are collapsed ruins everywhere, and in the center is an altar more than ten meters high, but the idol enshrined on it has fallen and broken into countless sections, and only a pedestal is left on it.
Our group, quietly walking through the ruins, felt incredible. Who would have thought that there are still relics of ancient civilization underground. If you dig here, you will definitely make a big discovery.
But we're not archaeologists, and we almost died under the rat's mouth not long ago because of curiosity, so forget it this time.
We were amazed, but we didn't stop too long, and walked straight through the ruins and up the terrain. When we reached the highest point, we stopped, and we turned around with wolf-eye flashlights to take pictures, and only then did we see the whole picture of the ruins. This is supposed to be the ruins of an ancient temple, but only God knows how it was destroyed.
Since there are ruins of the temple here, there must be a way out, and we suddenly feel refreshed and secretly feel that we are on the right path.
At the top of the hill we found a wide tunnel, presumably the passage through which the temple was built to transport stones. We walked along the main road and kept going.
Unexpectedly, this road actually went up and down, quite tortuous. And there are countless forks in the road. Fortunately, at this point, the compass is back to normal, and we follow the direction and move forward. Finally, there were no more accidents.
It was a long way, and we walked for a full six hours, and it was already seven or eight o'clock in the night.
We are sleepy and in dire need of rest. Just as we were about to find a suitable place to camp, some war fortifications suddenly appeared in front of us.
Seeing this bat, he excitedly said, "World War II ruins!" I've seen it before, and now there's a place to sleep. ”
We were walking on a wide tunnel for two trucks, with a low wall made of sandbags not far in front of us, and we could see corroded barbed wire thrown on the side of the road. A huge Nazi symbol on either side of the tunnel.
"It turned out to be a dark place where the Germans were stationed." The bat said excitedly as if he had seen the golden captain of the ancient tomb.
It was the first time I had seen a World War II site, and it was very novel, and I was looking around with a flashlight.
There was a machine gun hole in the sandbag wall, and there were several rotten wooden crates behind the wall, and we thought there were weapons left inside, but when we kicked them over, there was nothing inside.
In wartime, this was a checkpoint, with a postpost at the back of the checkpoint, and behind the post were rows of cave-like barracks.
One by one, we walked past the barracks and saw that there was almost nothing in the barracks except for the swastika and the garbage all over the floor. It seems that the withdrawal of Nazi German troops was not in a hurry at that time.
Finally we saw a couple of camp beds in what looked like a hospital room. The mole immediately said, "That's good, and there's a bed!" So the first one walked in.
When we entered, we found that not only were there a few camp beds, but there was also a table and a chair on the side, and there was an old telephone on the table. When I walked over to look, I saw that the tables, chairs and telephones were covered with a thick layer of dust, and no one had touched them for decades.
There were still a few newspapers left on the ground, and I picked them up and looked at the date, it was 1943, exactly 70 years ago. It's all in German, and I can't read it. So I threw it away.
I rummaged through the table again, and there was nothing left of it except for a few scraps of paper written in German and a pen without water.
Bat said that in other places, he had found Allied barracks, and that there were German outposts less than 50 meters from the Allied barracks. But because it was too hidden, no one found anyone.
But I was thinking about the situation of the German army in 1943.
At that time, the Nazi German army, in four or three years, was already very bad. The famous Battle of Stalingrad ended in February 43. The heavy losses of the German army not only put an end to the offensive situation that had been maintained by the German Southern Cluster since 1941, but also directly caused a fundamental change in the overall balance of power between the Soviet Union and Germany. Nazi Germany surrendered two years later.
However, in four or three years, before the German army was fully defeated, why did the German troops here evacuate first?
I was pondering, there was a sound of slapping dust behind me, and when I looked back, it turned out to be a mole and others cleaning the dust on the marching bed~, preparing to sleep directly on the marching bed~.
In my opinion, this is a great inauspicious matter, but our Chinese attention may not work for them, so I hesitated for a moment and ignored it.
I counted them, and there were only four marching beds, and they were just one bed per person, and we just laid the floor.
Originally, Manta Mole and George wanted to let them out, but Yuan Meng resolutely refused to sleep, only saying that it was unlucky to sleep in a bed that was too old.
This sounds like a joke to them, and they all agree that we Chinese are too superstitious.
I ignored them, thinking to myself, and when they had nightmares, I would know that what we were saying was true.
After a tiring day, everyone lit the smokeless stove and ate some hot soup and rice, and George the black man picked up some broken wood and lit a bonfire, and went here to go to the bad luck.
After eating a hot meal, drinking hot water, and the fire, it smelled like camping. Sister Yuan Meng, Sister Yuan Meng, and An An and I made bunks around the campfire, and while raising our legs to allow blood to flow back and relieve fatigue, we chatted with each other.
It was ten o'clock in the night, and the mole and the black George were already snoring, and I was drowsy. Although there should be no danger in the abandoned barracks of the underground German army, it is safer to take turns sleeping.
An An said that the more she was at night, the more energetic she became, just let us sleep, she guarded by herself, and waited for whoever woke up first tomorrow and took care of her for a while.
I said, how can this be done, I am a man, how can I make a woman beat. Insist that she go to bed first.
An An couldn't resist me, so she had to go to sleep.
I stood up and stretched to clear myself. I looked around and everyone was asleep. The bat and his little friend were tossing and turning on the marching bed~, presumably having a nightmare.
I laughed, the ancient bed ~ is heavy on the yin, how can you sleep on it. The nightmare of having you sit all night is also a punishment for their escape during the day.
The bonfire was not too busy, I walked over and added some firewood, and suddenly I had some urgency, and I was about to go out to find a place to relieve my hands, when I suddenly felt that something was not right. My eyes flashed, and I saw a woman with long hair sitting on a chair with her back to me on the table in the corner of the barracks wall.
I suddenly felt that something was choking my throat, and I couldn't even make a sound, but I was so frightened that I screamed in my heart, "Who is this woman!?" ”
