I saw that although Ding Sitian's inhaled oyster poison was limited, and now the situation is quite stable, she can walk and move, and her mind is still sober, but the early symptoms of this poisoning have appeared after all, if you go out from the mountain pass on the north side of the Hundred Eyes Cave, you will reach the edge of the desert without human population, and it is farther away from the pastoral area, even if you don't take a detour like that, without horses, it will be too late to send her to the hospital, and if the poison she is in attack in a shorter time, what is good? Besides, who can guarantee that this road will be safe and that there will be no forks in the road?

I frowned, looked at the map with it, and immediately made up my mind: "The brocade scale worm is specially raised by the Devil Research Institute, they are for the treatment of soldiers injured by the poison in the Pacific Theater and conduct research, this institute may have antidote serum, this possibility is very large, do not take three points of risk, it is difficult to find a light, I see the way back to the sky, the only way to gamble on this, go to the main research building to find the antidote." ”

In the end, the fat man and the old sheepskin agreed to this plan, hoping that she would be sent to the hospital for treatment is simply unrealistic, Ding Sitian is completely relieved to entrust her life to us, this seems to be risky, but there is really no more choice, the best choice is often the choice made when there is no choice.

In order not to bring too much psychological pressure to Ding Sitian, I didn't show that I was in a hurry, and after confirming the route, I still moved forward at a normal speed, anyway, I saw from the map that the distance of the main research building was not very far, and no matter how slow the speed was, it would be too late, if there was no antidote such as serum in the research building, then it would all be over, I was faintly afraid in my heart, always thinking what if there was no antidote? And who among us can recognize what the antidote looks like? In the end, I simply put my heart aside and didn't think about it anymore. Fuck anyway, if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, and you won't die until the Yellow River.

It didn't take long for me to enter a very open underground waterway, where there were many cement pipes that were connected by each other, and the fat man who was walking in front of him suddenly stepped on something, and scolded and raised his feet in the black water, revealing a few rotten dead bones from the sewage, and there was a shoe under half of the leg bones, and I was about to take a look, but in the dark, I found that the cement pipe we were in suddenly rotated.

Judging from the map of the institute drawn by the Russians, the huge underground drainage facility is actually an artificially diverted underground river, and it is precisely because of the large amount of groundwater dug up in the hollow of the Hundred Eyes Cave that the geological environment cannot build an aqueduct, and only the spider web-like drainage pipe can be used to lead it out of the mountain, otherwise the groundwater will flood the area above our heads, and this secret research facility will not be built in its current location.

But now in the underground drainage channel, it is about to dry up, only some sewage sludge remains, think that the mountain water source has long dried up, the underground waterway is divided into two parts, one part is completely closed, the other half is semi-closed, in an emergency can be used as an evacuation channel, if you want to approach the main research building, the nearest route is to pass the guò semi-closed pipeline area, where the environment is complicated. The network is like a maze, and without this map, it would be difficult to find the exit along the way.

We walked with torches and came to an open pivot area where ditches and pipes were intertwined, and the walls were black, with a lot of sewage and sludge, and all kinds of mayfly creatures in the water, right in the center of the underground waterway. Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, he found that there were many bones in the black water at the bottom of the pipe, and seeing that those clothes had not rotted off, it was likely that they were the guards of the secret research institute of the Japanese army, and the fat man pinched his nose and plucked the bones of the dead who had rotted with his feet. When we saw this, we couldn't help but think, "How can there be the corpse of a devil in this pipe?" I was about to take a look, but I found that the pipe in my body shook violently, and for a while, it seemed like the world was spinning.

But this is just the illusion of the eyes, but there is no shaking feeling under the feet, we held the torch and looked up, the four of them were stunned by the scene in front of them, a meter away from the pipe wall in front of them, the black pressure is full of cockroaches, these cockroaches are black and brown, wings on their backs, amazingly large, the length of the body is three or four centimeters on the left, one by one, dense and dense, thousands of people cover the entire wall, these big cockroaches are probably stimulated by some ingredients in the sewage, Not only are they half as large as normal, but they are also able to sustain themselves by gnawing at each other's corpses, as well as creatures such as rats and tide bugs that enter the sewers.

These cockroaches were originally lurking and not moving, slowly biting each other, at this time, a small part was alarmed by the firelight and footsteps, they immediately jumped quickly, and there was a chain reaction in an instant, the cockroaches in the whole pipe were like boiling boiling water, rushing and fleeing everywhere without a head, and the pipe wall became a flowing black tide, many fell from the pipe wall, and a layer immediately fell on our heads and shoulders.

I wanted to beckon everyone to run back, but not only did no one take care of anyone, but no one dared to open their mouths to speak, and the large and small cockroaches that squeezed off were about to extinguish the torches, and they fell on people and crawled everywhere.

The cockroaches jumped very fast, we had nowhere to run, so we had to pick up the torches in our hands to drive them away, hoping that these cockroaches would disperse quickly, and everyone was slightly calm, and recovered from the black tide formed by the large group of cockroaches just now, and tried their best to use all the guys who could be used, and finally used the torches to make the tide of cockroaches scatter from the side.

After a while, the cockroaches in the pipeline gradually decreased, I freed my hands and removed the cockroaches on the body for Ding Sitian and the old sheepskin, the faces of the four people changed, and they would rather let the evil ghost ask for their souls than be buried alive by the cockroaches and slowly bite to death, the fat man said to us: "While the cockroaches are scattered, let's rush over quickly............"

The fat man's voice did not fall, only to hear the old sheepskin scream, his body suddenly sank down, and was dragged to the ground by a thing in the sewage, Ding Sitian and I found that something was wrong, and reached out to drag him, but the force that dragged the old sheepskin was extremely great, although I grabbed the arm of the old sheepskin, but was pulled by the huge force, the soles of my feet were staggered, and I almost fell into the mud.

Ding Sitian was not as lucky as me, she grabbed the placket of the old sheepskin, trying to stop the momentum of the old sheepskin being pulled backwards, but her arm strength was limited, and the soles of her feet were slippery and unstable, so she slipped and fell to the ground all of a sudden, but she still didn't let go, and was dragged into the darkness of the sewer with the old sheepskin. And looking at this momentum, this guy can't be small, and he figured out the origin of these corpse bones in his heart, it is likely that some people wanted to escape from here when they had an accident, but they encountered something fatal, and they were all ended up in the stinky ditch, and if they wanted to save people, they couldn't hesitate at all, otherwise they would wait to collect the bodies of those two people, so they pulled out the Kangxi treasure knife and shouted to the fat man: "Don't shoot, throw the torch forward." As he spoke, he rushed forward.

The old sheepskin and Ding Sitian's torches fell into the mud and extinguished when they fell to the ground, in order to save the revolution, we were not willing to use the Russian sapper lamp, but made a few simple torches with the furniture and clothes in his room, this torch has advantages and disadvantages, if there are insects, scorpions and centipedes in the tunnel, you can disperse them from a distance with torches, and you can judge whether the air quality is harmless to people, but the disadvantage is that the lighting range is very limited, just a few steps in front of you, a little farther away can not be seen.

I chased after him with a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, so I had to let the fat man throw his torch forward as a short-term flare behind me, and use the torch to see the situation more than ten meters ahead before it fell to the ground and went out.

But by the flash of fire. I could already see a few paces ahead of me. There is a large gap between the pipes on the ground, nearly a meter in diameter, and the inside is bottomless, and several thick black arthropod hooks and claws protrude from it, full of black hard hairs, dragging Ding Sitian and the old sheepskin into the big crack in the pipe.

The old sheepskin lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, and he didn't know if he was injured or not, he tried his best to get rid of it, but he couldn't get rid of it, the hunting gun was pressed under him, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to let go of it, Ding Sitian lay on the ground and grabbed the old sheepskin's clothes, gritted his teeth and dragged it back, but to no avail, even she was quickly dragged in.

I stepped on the dead cockroaches everywhere, crunched as soon as I stepped on it, and rushed to the front with three steps and two steps, only then did I see clearly that it was a big money skewer that was holding the old sheepskin, and the money skewers were much wider than Yu Song and the worm skewers, and there were fewer feet, but the hook claws were wider and longer, and the body could grow up to two meters long, and the deep and wide gap in the drainage pipe was regarded as a nest by the money skewers, and because of the fear of flames, I wanted to drag the old sheepskin to the lower layer of the drainage pipe.

I rushed to the front, and by the light of the fire in my hand, I found that the abyssal crack was covered with human bones, and there were several frighteningly large cockroaches crawling back and forth in the depths. He was eager to save people, and he didn't bother to take a closer look, so he waved his long knife and cut it down, wanting to wave the big money string that was half cut in the hole in two pieces to save the old sheepskin and Ding Sitian.

Unexpectedly, the money string action is also very fast, my knife in the air, it has already dragged the old sheepskin to the entrance of the hole, if the knife is cut solidly, not only can not cut it, but the old sheepskin chopped off, I saw that the big thing is not good, quickly threw the torch into the hole, but the yin tide in the hole is too strong, the torch was extinguished by the moisture in a flash, I fell to the ground in the dark, reached out to hold the old sheepskin, wanted to support the hole, but the crack is more than a meter wide, but I didn't expect the money string to be strong, with black hair hook claws, Together with me and the old sheepskin, Ding Sitian had half of his body trapped in the hole.

Ding Sitian opened the sapper lamp in front of Gui's chest in the chaos, shaking the pillar of light, the old sheepskin supported a dead man's skeleton with his hand, the rotten bones were stuck in the narrow cracks on the side of the pipe wall, he fought hard to hold on, slightly slowed down the momentum of the three of us bodies to continue to be pulled into the hole, I saw that there were insect feet in front of me, and I wanted to use a long knife to cut, but the terrain was narrow and difficult to perform, so I had to stretch out the knife into the hole, and every time I pierced a knife, a stream of yellow water splashed, I was afraid that this insect liquid was poisonous, and buried my face on the back of the old sheepskin, But there is no stop in the hand.

Although most of the knives and stabs were pierced by the money string, they were not deep enough to be fatal, and this thing had a very strong vitality, even if it was cut off a few pieces, it would not be able to die for a while and a half, Ding Sitian was dragged to the end, at this time he had already got up, grabbed me and the old sheepskin out of the dead force and pulled back, I and the old sheepskin's shoulders and arms were hooked by insect feet, and they were restrained between the narrow gaps, and the hands and feet could not make large movements, although for a moment and a half, they could still stalemate and not be dragged into the hole, but it was by no means a long-term solution, It is impossible to get out with my own strength, I suddenly felt that one leg was held by Ding Sitian and dragged back, but her strength was weak and difficult to help, I became impatient in my heart, and scolded that Wang Fat Man for not coming to help.

Just when I was in this dilemma, I heard someone behind me shouting: "Don't worry, poor middle peasants, I'm bringing you cocktails!" "I struggled with the old sheepskin to support myself, and at the same time used a long knife to latch the hook claws that protruded from the hole, and when I heard the shouting from the ground behind me, I knew that the fat man had come up, but he was completely at a loss of what he was shouting and sending cocktails, but at this fatal juncture, I did not know what kind of demon moth he was going to produce.

It turned out that the fat man also knew that it was difficult to kill the string of money at once with knives and guns, so he opened the sapper lamp tied to his chest, and at the same time caught up from behind, he took out a bottle of liquor from the Russians and stuffed a handful of pills into it, and blocked the mouth of the bottle with the cotton socks that came out, lit and handed Ding Sitian, and then took the belt of me and the old sheepskin, and pulled the front half of our bodies out of the hole.

The money strings in the cave were also brought out, and when it saw that the food in its mouth had gone out again, it was willing to give up and wanted to drag it back again. At this time, the Wang Ba box in the fat man's hand fired two shots in a row, causing it to shrink, Ding Sitian saw the opportunity and smashed the burning liquor at the mouth of the bottle into the hole, the wine that the Russian drank was like a knife in his mouth, the alcohol concentration was extremely high, and some chemical tablets were put in it, which may have played the role of an accelerant, and the flames suddenly rose. Under the cracks in the drain pipes became a sea of fire, burning cockroaches and money strings and other things in a mess, and I don't know how many writhed and struggled to die under the tongue of fire.

The Molotov cocktail made by the fat man is what we used when the rebels fought and the Red Guards attacked. However, at that time, spirits were not easy to find, most of them used gasoline or industrial alcohol, and then added combustibles instead, and the formula was also adapted to local conditions, catching up with what was used, this kind of Molotov cocktail composed of a mixture of various combustibles, was first widely used in the Soviet-Finnish War in World War II, known as Molotov cocktail, I saw that although I and the old sheepskin had scratched some flesh and flesh, and there were a few bruises on my body, but it was no big deal, and my head was blank at this time, and I had no thoughts of fear.

I looked at the burning cave under the crack, the fire gradually dimmed, and the cockroaches that had not been burned to death began to crawl in and out of the crack again, and the hearts of the people were numb, and no one wanted to delay any longer, so the four of them continued to move forward further than this, this underground waterway was full of dangers, we were worried that there were other dangers in the underground waterway, and there was an exit near the sign on the map, which could lead to the ground, and it was very close to the research building, so we quickened our pace and walked there, even if it was a little far away, I'm not going to cut corners in this drain that is growing with insects and cockroaches.

At the corner of the drainage pipe, there is an iron ladder embedded in the cement wall, the fat man climbed up first, pushed open the cement cover, the sky outside was already cloudy, and then Ding Sitian also climbed up along the iron ladder, the old sheepskin was reluctant to prepare for the third to go up, I saw his expression gloomy, but it was not like because he had just been frightened, he was usually silent, always looked like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and when he was idle, he either smoked the pouch pot or sang the sour song of his hometown, After entering this hundred-eyed cave, he often sighed, sometimes it was hard to cheer up, and after a while, he suddenly lost his mind, I thought to myself that he probably learned the truth about what happened to his brother Yang Erdan, it turned out that he was killed by the Japanese here, and he did not dare to go out to save people because of the constraints of superstitious thoughts, so he still remembers it, and he can also experience his mood by heart, especially the crematorium may have burned his brother's body, touching the scene, how can it not make people worry?

So in order to express sympathy, I patted the old sheepskin on the shoulder when he climbed the iron ladder, and comforted him: "I understand your feelings, I don't think much about your brother's affairs, after all, it is all in the past, people still have to think about it, let's look forward." ”

Old Sheepskin, who probably saw that I was young, was very surprised to say such things, and he asked me as he climbed up, "What do you know what I have in mind?" I'm just this one brother, how many brothers does your baby have in the family? ”

I thought to myself that my family was just one child, unlike the popular socialist family at that time, and there were no other biological brothers and sisters, but I couldn't say that, so I said to the old sheepskin: "You have to think so, the suffering people in the world are our class brothers." ”

As I spoke, I also climbed up the shaft, it was already dark outside, and the fat man and Ding Sitian both turned off the sapper lights, but they and the old sheepskin looked around, each with a different look, I also followed their gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned, why is this place so familiar?
