CHAPTER XXIV
In the shaking of light and shadow, we saw Lao Zhang squatting on the ground, holding Yao Bing in his hands. Yao Bing's right arm was covered with blood, and he was sweating in pain. Zhong Xiu and the monkey were very nervous and hurriedly ran over: "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lao Zhang apologized: "This matter also depends on me." Getting here is a dead end. Boss Yao found that there was a mechanism on the wall, and he told me not to move it easily. I also blame my cheap hands, and when I touch my hand, the mechanism is opened. The wall at the end of the corridor was actually a secret gate, and when it suddenly opened, the boss pushed me aside to save me, and his hand was injured. ”
Yao Bing sat up and asked Zhong Xiu to take out the hemostatic bandage from his backpack, he took off his coat, cleaned the wound with water, and then wrapped the bandage.
Under the unsympathetic gaze of everyone, he stood up against the wall. The monkey was about to pick him up, but Yao Bing waved his hand: "I'm fine." Let's go and see what's inside. ”
Everyone began to move in, and Lao Jia and I were at the back. He didn't rush in, but looked at the wall with a flashlight. I walked up to him and whispered what to see.
He touched the wall with a military glove. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the walls, revealing a gray iron door about the size of a palm. Open the iron door, and inside is a rusty wrench, which has now been opened. Lao Jia said: "This is the organ. ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Lao Jia didn't speak, and closed the iron door again. Then he rubbed the dust with his gloves and blew on the iron door, and some of the dust was stained on the door again. He asked me, "Liu Yang, can you find a secret door on the wall?" ”
"I can't do it." I laughed.
"I can't either." Lao Jia said meaningfully.
Inside, Lao Zhang urged: "What are you doing, come in, there is a major discovery." ”
We walked to the end of the hallway, where the metal wall was a sluice gate, which had risen by this time. Like the gate outside, only a small half can be raised, and the only way to enter is through the gap below.
When I went inside, I was completely stunned when I saw what was inside.
In front of me were three dark corridors, fanning out. In the flickering light, you can see rows of prison cells on either side of each corridor. One by one, down the hallway. There was almost no end to the corridors, and I couldn't count how many cells there were.
The hallway is very narrow, and the ceiling is a very small light bulb. Standing here, you can feel extremely cold, dark and very oppressive.
Zhong Xiu shone back and forth with a flashlight, and his voice trembled: "It turns out that this is a concentration camp, where prisoners are held." ”
We were about to go inside, when Lao Zhang spoke: "Boss, there are three corridors in front of us, and there are not many forks in the road. Otherwise, we will use your method to explore in groups, which can ensure efficiency and save time. ”
When the monkey heard this, he frowned: "I said Lao Zhang, this ghost place is so weird and gloomy, who knows what dangers will be hidden in the Dao, what if an accident happens?" ”
Lao Zhang Gan laughed twice: "This place has been sealed underground for decades, what danger can there be, what kind of ghost do you say?" ”
Yao Bing's face was a little unsightly, and he thought for a while: "Okay, then let's group it." There are three corridors here, Lao Zhang and Lao Jia, you all the way, monkey," he paused, looked at me, and then looked at Zhong Xiu, and said, "Monkey, you and Xiao Zhong all the way." Liu Yang, you come with me. ”
"Try the walkie-talkie." Zhong Xiu said.
We adjusted the channel and said a few words to each other on the walkie-talkie, and the effect was quite clear.
Yao Bing said: "Don't be reluctant when you encounter something. The time limit is one hour, and we will meet here after the last day. ”
After dividing into groups, Yao Bing and I walked straight into the corridor on the left.
With Yao Bing, I was awkward, a little embarrassed, and had nothing to say to him. He didn't talk to me either, walked very slowly in front, and from time to time shone a flashlight on the cell.
Most of the doors of these cells were closed, and flashlights entered through the bars of the bars above the doors, and the structure inside was very rudimentary, that is, two beds and one toilet. The cell space is small, and one room is no more than 10 square meters. There are two beds on the left and one on the right, which seems to be able to accommodate two people. I can't tell the reason inside, it's very dark, and it can't be lit with a flashlight, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.
I had an idea, and I said, "This is not a concentration camp." ”
Yao Bing stopped and looked at me: "What do you think?" ”
I said, "The conditions in the camps are not going to be so good. "I've seen some documentaries about the German concentration camps of World War II, where the prisoners were held in what resembled a large warehouse, with bed shelves stacked on top of each other, one on top of the other. There is one prisoner on the first floor, and a large cell can hold at least a hundred prisoners.
If it were a concentration camp, there would not be a situation where two prisoners could occupy a cell like the conditions in front of them.
I said what I thought, Yao Bing nodded and didn't say anything. I looked at the cells and said, "Now it seems that the cells here are probably used for two purposes. ”
"Tell me." Yao Bing said.
"One possibility is to hold political prisoners; There is another possibility," I hesitated, "I think of 731, could this be a place for Japanese people to do live experiments?" ”
Yao Bing smiled: "Don't guess, just look at it." ”
I have to say that the cells built by the Japanese are narrow and low, cramped and gloomy, and it is suffocating to look at. As we walked, we suddenly saw that there was a cell door in front of us that was actually open.
As I walked over, I shook the door, the shaft was rusty, and it was particularly difficult to turn, and the creaking sound of rubbing made the gums fall. As I was researching the door, I looked up and saw a figure sitting on the bed in the cell.
This scared me out, my scalp was numb, and it took me a long time to remember to use a flashlight to shine it. Under the photo, the figure was actually Yao Bing.
He walked in at some point, sat on the bed, put his hands on his knees, and looked sad as if he was thinking about something.
I took a deep breath and walked in with the guts. The temperature in the cell was several degrees lower than in the corridor outside, and the cold was seeping into the bones. The height of the cell is just over 1.8 meters, and you can touch the ceiling with a slight hand.
There is also an indescribable smell in it, saying that it is fishy or not, and that it is not smelly. I frowned and said, "Boss, let's go out, it's really uncomfortable." ”
Yao Bing nodded, got up from the bed, slowly walked to the door, grabbed the cell door, and suddenly made a hard effort, only to hear a crisp sound of "Karma", and the heavy cell door actually made him turn.
He closed the door.
The light in the cell dimmed, and although the flashlight was on, it was as if it had suddenly fallen into a deep cave in Hesse.
I was stunned and quickly said, "Boss, what are you doing?" ”
Yao Bing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to try what it's like to be locked up in such a prison." He was half-lying on the bed, extinguished the flashlight, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness.
I wouldn't be so rude to shine a flashlight on him. My heart is pounding, will this Yao Bing have hysteria? If he's crazy, he can't tie me up.
After a pause, his flashlight came back on. He got out of bed, slowly pushed open the cell door and walked out. Just a few minutes, it feels like a century. I hurried out of the room, looking at the dark cell behind me, and I was really uneasy.
As we walked forward, Yao Bing, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Liu Yang, you have a good relationship with Mr. Yang?" ”
"Yang Muyun?" I said, "It's not that good, it's a general acquaintance." ”
"He trusts you and puts you in the decision-making side of the expedition." Yao Bing said: "I'm a bit straight to speak, I can't see anything superior about you." ”
I laughed dryly and didn't speak.
"How much do you know about this?" Yao Bing asked.
I said, "I don't know much about it." I don't know what the Japanese built a base here at that time, but I don't know what they did.
Yao Bing suddenly asked, "What do you do at home?" ”
The question jumped so much that I didn't want to talk about it too much, but said, "Working family, parents are workers." ”
Yao Bing turned his head to look at me and nodded: "I probably know what Mr. Yang wants you to come for." ”
"For what?" I asked.
Yao Bing suddenly had a very mysterious smile on his face, his eyes flashed, and he didn't speak.
I chuckled in my heart, and I always felt that his smile was not funny.
At this point, we reached the end, and the corridor stretched forward, and a passage resembling a bomb shelter appeared behind it. At the intersection of the bomb shelter and the edge of the corridor, a raised platform was set up. We went up the stairs and stood on the platform with a clear view of the entire corridor, which was supposed to be where the Japanese soldiers were standing.
Yao Bing used a flashlight to shine on the air-raid shelter passage inside, which was too deep to see what it was. The walls of the bomb shelter were sprayed with the logo of the Great Red Lotus, and I had a gut feeling that the real secret of this underground base should be hidden inside.
Looking at the watch, it's been more than forty minutes, and it's been exactly an hour to go back now. I whispered, "Boss, let's go back." ”
Yao Bing's face was expressionless: "You go back first, and I'll walk inside." ”
I hesitated for a moment, so I had to follow him on. He stopped talking, and didn't seem to be going to pay attention to me, and he didn't want to follow me.
Walking along the bomb shelter for a while, a large amount of writing appeared on the wall. Yao Bing did not stop and continued to walk. I was too embarrassed to stop and take a closer look. I probably scanned it with a flashlight, and found that these characters were neither Japanese nor Chinese, and were plausible characters. Each one resembles a tadpole and is arranged in a spiral shape, and the further you get to the center, the larger the font becomes.
I think these words are very strange, they don't look like human language.
I looked into the depths of the bomb shelter in Hesse and suddenly had a very creepy feeling.
