Chapter 125: Saving People
The most taboo panic in the fire. People who have just woken up are usually in a mess in their minds, and it is rare to make any decent decisions. It would be even more troublesome to wake up all the people locked in this captive camp. Therefore, the first thought that flashed through Yu Mojian's mind was to wake up Aman, who always seemed to be extraordinarily calm.
It took a while for Aman to open his eyes, and he glanced at Yu Moji defensively. Yu Mojin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that Ah Man Fu had such vigilance as soon as she woke up, but it was not in vain that she pinned her hopes on Ah Man in danger.
"There's a fire outside." Yu Mojin squatted beside her and lowered his voice, "You have to run with everyone." ”
Heng'er also came up, took Aman's left hand, wrote and drew in her palm, and silently testified to Yu Moji.
Only then did Yu Moji notice that Aman's right hand should have been seriously injured, and his fingers were gone, leaving only half of his scarred palm. For Yanshi, this is equivalent to losing half a life.
The defensiveness in Aman's eyes faded a little. She narrowed her eyes slightly, listened intently for a moment, and then looked at the tiny side of the sky in the sinus. Yu Moji followed her gaze, I don't know if it was an illusion or something, the small piece of night sky seemed to be much brighter by the firelight.
Aman's gaze turned back to Yu Moji, "What are you going to do?" Her voice was hoarse and cloudy with the usual hoarseness and cloudiness of those who had just woken up, but her tone was as serious and calm as before.
Yu Mozhen shook her head, indicating that she didn't have any good ideas, "We have to figure it out together." She paused for a moment, and then said, "I don't dare to make a show, for fear of causing a commotion...... She glanced at Heng'er, the child was still holding Aman's palm tightly, "Can I write on your hand?" ”
"It's okay." Aman waved his hand, "After taking that medicine, everyone is very sleepy and weak." Especially now, as it is night, and it is very cold, and it takes quite a bit of movement to wake them up. ”
"Medicine?" Yu Moji was stunned for a moment.
"How?" Aman seemed to be a little wary again, "They didn't give you medicine?" ”
"Eat, eat, eat." Now Yu Moji, he doesn't even have to blink his eyes when he lies, "I didn't expect this effect." ”
"......," Aman gave her a suspicious look, "can you cut the tarpaulin?" Heng'er tried it with my hairpin, but it didn't work. It may be that the strength is too small, or it may be in the wrong direction. ”
Yu Moji shook his head, "It doesn't work, the material of this tarpaulin is very special, and ordinary metal is not scratched at all." She took advantage of the light during the day to take a closer look, and the dusty tarpaulin of the prisoner camp was made of hundred refining brocade. The Hundred Refining Brocade looks ordinary, but it is woven into the fine and dense Hundred Refining Steel Wire, which is what Yu Moji used to get rid of on the river and mountain boat in Yi Xiaocheng.
Mo Jiyu felt pain when he thought of Bailian Jin. This material was only developed by the Cardinal Council in recent years, and it was originally intended to be used to make inner armor, but because of the high cost, the plan has not been fully clarified. Bailian brocade was not put into production in large quantities, and the inventory was quite limited. Master Fu actually used such a valuable thing to hold prisoners, he was really full.
"So," Aman, though he was well versed in the art of armor, was obviously not very familiar with this new thing on land, "could this tarpaulin be fireproof?" ”
"Not really." Yu Mojin sighed, "This tarpaulin is mixed with several kinds of velvet, ramie, and a special metal, so it can be so flexible." If the fire burns, the velvet and the like will be burned clean immediately, but it will leave a layer of fine metal mesh, like a cage. The fire can be penetrated, but people still can't get out. ”
She shook her head slightly, trying to leave behind the image of herself suffering in the Heavenly Furnace. This is not the time to get distracted.
Aman was silent, and there seemed to be no better way.
Yu Moji glanced around, and suddenly thought, "Have you tried digging a hole in the ground?" ”
"I tried," Aman said, "and that's when the hairpin in your hand broke." There is only a thin layer of soil below, and further down there is a rock formation, which is connected to the mountain. It can't be dug by manpower alone. She took out the other half of the hairpin and handed it to Yu Moji, and pointed to a corner that was not easy to notice. Yu Moji hadn't noticed a small chunk of it before, as if it had been because someone had been sitting there to prevent the sergeants from spotting their misguided path when they came to check. At this moment, a man was sleeping on the side, and one foot just poked into the small dirt pit.
Yu Moji stepped over lightly. The light was so poor that she could only reach out and try to discern the texture of the rocks with her sense of touch.
She thought quietly for a while, and then returned to Aman's side. "There is hope. This stone does not extend too far. There must be a break. ”
"The Cardinal still teaches this?" Aman finally showed a look of surprise.
Yu Mozhen shook his head and said casually, "I learned blindly when I was in the past." In fact, it was because Yuan Yizhi also had some attainments in geology, and Yu Moji secretly studied the relevant knowledge with a heart that was on par with him.
"Look at the edge of the tarpaulin, it's stuck in the ground, and there's got to be something pulling it down there." Yu Moji analyzed, "It takes a lot of work to chisel stones, but it is more likely to be a machine. If you can untie the mechanism and put the tarp out, people can get out. ”
"Somewhat." Aman nodded, "We haven't dug over there before, because we're afraid that outsiders will find out when they come in." ”
"Do you have any tools to handy?" Yu Mojin subconsciously gathered the flying anchor made of the broken hairpin in the group's hand, "This hairpin can be saved, and when the mechanism is opened later, it may be able to be used." ”
"There's nothing else," Aman said, "This hairpin is a relic of Heng'er's mother, and it has been sewn into Heng'er's clothes." Other things that could come in handy had already been taken away by the Jiangbei Army. ”
Then he dug it with his hands. There are so many of us. Yu Mojin frowned, and heard a few more explosions outside, the distance was obviously much closer, and the wind became more and more fierce. I'm afraid the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it won't be too late. ”
Aman nodded, coughed lightly, and said loudly, "Get up." All up. Heng'er staggered out, punching and kicking the captives to wake them up. People woke up one by one, rubbing their eyes and looking at Aman, seven points of doubt, two points of complaining, and people with good ears heard that something was wrong outside, and there were a little more doubts in their eyes. Others found that their belts were missing, and looked in amazement and tried to find them. Yu Moji's face turned red, and he hurriedly hid the lump in his hand behind his back.
The situation is urgent, and she is not going to give an explanation for the time being.
"There is water outside, and the Jiangbei Army may not be able to take care of it." Aman explained the situation briefly, and without waiting for the panic to spread, he raised his voice slightly, and said, "This girl from the Cardinal will work with me to find a way to get everyone out." But we have to cooperate. ”
"She?" Someone looked at Yu Moji suspiciously, but soon someone stopped this question, "It's important to save your life, try it first." ”
Aman immediately pointed to some people who were still in good physical strength and taught them to dig down the dirt along the lower edge of the tarpaulin; Those who are too weak in their hands and feet make way and rest on the edge of the rocks. Yu Moji followed the person who was digging back and forth, deliberately slowing down, pretending that he had also been poisoned by the unknown drug; With a little light coming from the hole, his eyes widened, trying to make out what was going on underneath the dirt.
After a long while, she finally noticed a slight change in light. "Stop." She walked over, crouched down and touched the place, and sure enough, it was a hard metal texture, "Stop somewhere else, dig around here." ”
Several people squatted on the ground, busy sweating and covered in mud, and finally presented most of the Yanji in front of Yu Moji.
"Let's do it first." Yu Moji stepped closer, and turned back to call Aman, "Master, let's take a look." ”
As soon as she said that, she realized that it was an unlikely thing to do. She adjusted her position and found that the faint light source was blocking no matter what, even more so after Aman came over.
Yu Moji had no choice but to wave the hairpin that was broken in two, and try to expose the internal structure of the Yanji, so that Aman could take a look from a little farther away; She herself relied on her sense of touch to sketch out a corresponding structural diagram in her mind.
The upper layer of this thing is a trap lock. It stands to reason that if you want to bundle the tarpaulin underground, only one machine is enough, and you don't need a mecha box at all. If this seemingly machine-like thing isn't filled with Chitose gold, what else can it be?
Yu Moji reached out a few more times, thought about it, and glanced back at Aman a little embarrassed.
"There's something else down there." Aman quickly understood what she meant, "Is it dynamite?" ”
Yu Moji nodded with difficulty, and the person who was originally standing next to her immediately took a few steps back, leaving her alone to crouch on the edge of the Yanji that would explode at some point.
"Stand farther and come up to the edge of this rock." Aman commanded everyone, and said to Yu Moji, "Can you do it?" ”
Yu Moji patted his head helplessly, "It should be ...... Absolutely. I can handle it. "Isn't she an expert at making bombs herself?
She cautiously reached out. Removed the fuse of the explosives in a few clicks before unlocking the locks on the upper level. "Do me a favor," she said, "pulling the tarp up." ”
A few of the more daring captives walked to the side. The tarpaulin was unfettered and was quickly pulled open, and fresh air poured in, carrying with it the temperature of fire.
Aman reacted very quickly, and immediately commanded everyone to get out.
The last ink mark was drilled out of the tarpaulin.
In the skylit firelight, Aman had already begun to inspect the locks outside. She only has one hand, which is very inconvenient, and she commanded several people who were originally shipbuilders on the Jiangshan ship to dismantle the mechanism with her. These things are all the ways of the Cardinal, which are slightly different from the Yanji on the Jiangshan ship, and the time is urgent, so the ship guards can't react for a while. Seeing this, Yu Moji hurriedly stepped forward to explain the difference, and made sure that they should be able to solve it under Aman's guidance, so he ran to the front to unblock the net, tribulus terrestris and the like.
These things look intimidating, but they're actually not too cumbersome; It's just that among the people present, I'm afraid that only Yu Moji has not been drugged, and he has enough physical strength to jump between the knife ropes quickly and accurately, and he will not hurt himself at all. She was also familiar with these things, and quickly unraveled them one by one. It was just the outermost iron lock, close to a small tent that was about to be burned down. The iron lock was roasted hot, and the ink marks were burned, and there was a white mark on his hand in an instant.
She hissed in her mouth, and she didn't stop in her hands, but quickly unlocked the lock and let everyone out.
They finally fled to safety before the fire spread to the prisoner camp.
