Chapter 8 Draw a Door
Wu Xie took out something from his bag.
The fat man scratched his head and said, "Isn't this just a pen?" Do you want to learn the magic pen Ma Liang and draw a door on the wall? β
Wu Xie said: "It's impossible to draw a door, but I have a way to find the location of the door." β
As he spoke, he began to draw a straight line with a very light color on the wall.
The fat man said: "Naive classmate, is the pen you brought running out of water?" Do you want me to lend you one? β
Wu Xie didn't respond, drawing as he walked, walking farther and farther ahead.
Others followed suit.
After walking for more than half an hour, the road still repeats itself.
The fat man was about to mumble something, but Wu Xie suddenly said, "Appeared!" β
Everyone looked forward, and there was something different about the passage, and a faint light appeared on the stone wall in front of them.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a fluorescent line that stretched forward crookedly.
A smile appeared at the corner of the dark glasses' mouth.
The fat man pointed to the wall and asked Wu Xiedao, "This is your previous graffiti?" β
Wu Xie said: "Did the fat man see something?" β
The fat man suddenly said: "I can see it!" It's that we're back! But immediately changed his face and said: "Naive, don't bully the fat man, I don't read much, what about the good door I just said?" β
"It's just ahead," Wu Xie said, "If there are no accidentsβ"
The fat man is a man of action, when he ran over first, Wu Xie wanted to stop it, and the fat man had disappeared into the darkness.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the fat man stopped abruptly in a place in front of him: "Huh".
Wu Xie's heart tightened, and he heard the fat man's scolding.
"Innocent, your broken pen is out of water here!"
Wu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he walked over quickly.
The clear fluorescent line suddenly stopped as if it had been truncated!
Wu Xie stroked the place where the fluorescent light disappeared, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The fat man said: "Can you not laugh so weirdly, like a weasel who has just stolen three hundred hens." β
Wu Xie shook his head and said unhurriedly: "It's not the problem of the pen, it's that we haven't been to this place just now, so there are no traces of highlighters left on the wall." β
The fat man was stunned and said, "Don't sell it naively, if you have something to say!" β
Wu Xie looked at everyone, patted the stone wall without fluorescent markings, and said, "This wall didn't exist when we first passed by. The rest of the passage I marked should be behind this stone wall. β
"If I'm guessing correctly, the principle of this labyrinth movement is that every time someone passes through a section of the road, a stone wall will appear silently in the road, cutting off people's way out. At the same time, a new passage will appear in the previous location of this stone wall. β
"The stone walls of these activities constantly change the route of the passage, and the people in the maze are repeatedly led in different wrong directions, neither finding the right path nor returning to the original point."
The fat man suddenly realized, patted Wu Xie on the back and said: "Your kid really has a good head at a critical moment, and he deserves to be a graduate of the architecture department of a famous university." Then hurry up and break this Rausch sub-mechanism in one go! β
Wu Xie smiled bitterly: "Although I know the principle, if you want to break the situation, you have to think long-term." β
The fat man said impatiently: "It's not my fat man's style to think about it in the long run, if you can't figure out a way, I'll see a wall blow up a wall, until its exit is blown out!" β
Wu Xie said helplessly: "This method of destroying caves and blowing up tombs shouldn't be the style of your northern faction, fat master, you are usually bold and careful, why are you so anxious today?" β
The fat man said: "Naive, this is your mistake." In the past, we were fighting backwards, but today this is saving people. Do you know what is most important in saving people? The most important thing is time! The little brother has been without water and food for more than ten days, and if we are trapped here for another three or five days, the situation of the little brother will be even more dangerous. β
After being reminded by the fat man, Wu Xie's heart was excited. Yes, this time I seem to have gone too calmly. It's not the kind of composure honed by years of experience, but-
Wu Xie shook his head, although he was determined to become a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, but no matter what, he couldn't even burden these brothers to take his life with him.
No matter what the outcome of this trip is, he will make sure that the fat man and them get out alive!
Wu Xie cheered up and patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, let's find the little brother as soon as possible." β
The fat man rolled his eyes, and with an expression of "this is like words", he walked to the new wall and knocked on it.
With a breakthrough, everyone put down their equipment and began to look for mechanisms nearby.
Wu Xie repeatedly groped for the texture on the stone wall, and there was nothing special about it. The junction of the two walls is also tightly seamless, and even the dagger cannot be inserted.
Everyone tried various methods, tossed for a long time, and still couldn't do anything.
One of the men began to dig into the wall with a sapper shovel, and there was a clang, and the stone chips were splashed, and even the dust on the top of the road shook off. For a while, there was a miasma of smoke in the narrow space, which provoked some people to scold.
Wu Xie's heart moved, he squinted his eyes and looked up, and found that the top of the corridor and the stone wall were not integrated, and there was actually a narrow gap.
At this moment, something was falling through the cracks.
"Fat man, come and see what this is?"
The fat man flashed the flashlight, and the dark glasses looked in that direction.
The faces of the two men changed in unison.
"It's quicksand!"
Wu Xie immediately made a decision and shouted: "Run!" β
Picking up the equipment, he pushed a few guys who hadn't reacted to it into the aisle in front of him.
More and more quicksand suddenly gushed out from the gaps at the top of the roadways on both sides, forming two white sand waterfalls in an instant.
Everyone ran for more than ten steps, and the guy at the front suddenly shouted: "There is no way, it is a dead end!" β
Wu Xie secretly screamed badly, it seems that the mechanism of the maze has been fully activated, and it is extremely dangerous as soon as it comes up, leaving no room for it.
"Run back!"
Everyone turned around and ran back again, and Wu Xie, who was originally behind the palace, ran to the front instead. In the chaotic light of the flashlight, he could vaguely see that at the end of the corridor, a stone gate was slowly descending.
Wu Xie was taken aback and shouted, "Run!" The road behind is going to be sealed too! β
The passage, which was not spacious, was now covered with a layer of fine sand, and everyone slipped as they ran.
As if unaffected, the dark glasses ran through the stone gate and disappeared into the darkness, and then soon reappeared in front of the stone gate, making an "OK" gesture to the people behind them.
Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned everyone to hurry in.
But at this moment, the guy who was running at the back suddenly let out an exclamation.
Wu Xie shouted, "What's going on?" β
"Scorpions! There are scorpions everywhere! β
I saw countless black scorpions falling into the corridor with the continuous influx of quicksand, surrounding everyone like a tide, and the team behind fell into chaos for a while.
Delayed by the scorpion, the quicksand accumulated on the ground has reached the ankles of people, and it continues to rise at an increasing speed. Scorpions crawl in and out of the quicksand, burrowing into people's clothes along their trouser legs. I only heard the sound of someone screaming and falling to the ground in the chaos.
"Little Third Master, Da Zhao was stung!"
Wu Xie's eyes were red, and he was about to rush out immediately.
As soon as the other person moved, he was held down from behind by a hand.
Wu Xie turned his head, his black glasses gestured to the stone gate that was less than half a meter above the ground, and said, "It's too late," and then grinned at him: "I'll go!" β
Wu Xie was stunned, and the black glasses had already leaned over and drilled out of the stone gate.
The tunnel behind the stone gate was lit up with fire, accompanied by gunshots. One after another, some people got rid of the siege of scorpions and crawled in embarrassment. The last person who was stuffed in was Da Zhao, who was bitten by a scorpion.
By the time Wu Xie pulled Da Zhao in, the distance between the stone gate and the ground was only the width of a palm, and quicksand mixed with poisonous scorpions was constantly pouring over.
Wu Xie lay on the ground and shouted "blind" into the gap!
On the other side, there was a faint ruffian laughter from the black glasses, and said: "Blind, I can only accompany you here, and the third master behind you should be careful by himself!" β
As soon as the words fell, a popping sound sounded, and a dazzling white light and scorching waves of air rushed in from the cracks in the stone gate with sand and dust.
Immediately after that, the light in front of him dimmed, and the stone gate finally fell completely.
The heavy stone walls cut off all the light and sound.
This end of the road returned to dead silence, and in the darkness only the heavy gasps of people who had survived the catastrophe one after another.
"Damn, this madman actually used Molotov cocktails!"
After a while, the fat man scolded in a low voice.
Wu Xie was stimulated by the strong light, and only a miserable white was left in front of him, which could not fade away for a long time.
He remembered that Black Glasses said "It's too late" before leaving.
This guy knew that he was not sure that he would get out, but he still went back to save people.
What a - bastard!
Wu Xie clenched his fists tightly.
The fat man patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Black blind man, he is not an ordinary person, and he is not so easy to die." Let's take a look at the injured one first. β
Lao Sun and a few guys were checking on Da Zhao's situation, their brows furrowed, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.
Seeing Wu Xie coming, Lao Sun said: "Little Third Master, look at Da Zhao he-"
Wu Xie saw that there was a layer of black gas floating on Da Zhao's face, and he was already unconscious. The sting was on the neck, and although the wound was only a small eye the size of a pinpoint, the skin around it was already black and purple and swollen.
Wu Xie used a knife to cut through the skin to squeeze out the poisonous blood, took out a potassium permanganate solution and splashed it near the wound to disinfect. Da Zhao, who had been unconscious, suddenly began to convulse all over, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam.
Wu Xie didn't have the serum to treat scorpion venom in the equipment here, so he looked up and asked the young man surnamed Chen, "Friend of the Chen family, do you have anything to detoxify there?" β
The young man surnamed Chen walked over the crowd and approached, glanced at the injured lightly, and said, "It's useless, it's too late." β
