Chapter 231: Sea of Fire
Just when Liu Guoqiang and I were hesitating, the figure on the other side of the passage slowly raised his hand, as if he had raised something, facing us.
Looking at that action, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, no, I didn't expect the other party to have a gun in his hand!
In such a narrow passage, there are no bunkers and obstacles, if the other party is the first to fire, there is a high probability that the four of us will be shot directly.
Liu Guoqiang obviously knows this better than me, out of the instinct of the police, when I was still thinking, this guy had already raised his hand, and took the lead in pulling the trigger at the figure in front of him.
"Bang!"
Because the space was confined here, and the pistol that shot was close to my ears, the huge sound of gunfire exploded in the passage in an instant, and then it continued to drive back and forth, so that I almost lost hearing in both ears.
Liu Guoqiang's marksmanship was very good, and he directly hit the figure in front of him, and the guy fell to the ground and stopped moving.
But at this moment, a pungent smell gradually spread along the side of the passage towards the direction we were. When I reacted, I realized that the smell was somewhat similar to gasoline
The memories of the past flooded into my heart, and a bad feeling instantly swept through my body, damn, I was tricked!
In an instant, I already understood the other party's intentions, grabbed Liu Guoqiang, who was about to go over to check the situation, and desperately ran in the opposite direction to the figure.
"It's a trap, run away!"
As soon as the words fell, another loud bang accompanied by the sky-high firelight came directly from behind him. In the next second, a huge heat wave overflowed down the aisle, knocking me directly into the damp aisle.
The moment I landed, I could almost hear the screams of my bones and muscles, and I only felt the blood surging up all over my body, and I almost passed out without standing firmly.
That figure was definitely just a disguise, and the other party's real intention was to induce Liu Guoqiang to shoot. If I'm not mistaken, the passage ahead has been filled with a flammable liquid similar to gasoline by the bastard beforehand, and as long as Liu Guoqiang shoots, the sparks generated by the bullet hitting the wall panel will instantly ignite the dense gasoline in the passage, resulting in an explosion.
If I hadn't pulled Liu Guoqiang away from the danger area earlier, at this moment, either we would have been directly shattered by the shock wave generated by the explosion, or we would have been directly buried in the fire, in short, we would definitely die.
"Ahem!" Slowly standing up from the ground with the pain of piercing my heart, I could only rely on willpower to forcibly control my body's movements. The whole body was about to be shattered, and my back hurt as badly as if it was burning.
Looking back, I saw that the passage behind us had turned into a sea of fire, and the fire mixed with thick smoke continued to spread towards the area where we were. I guess the walls and even the ground on both sides of the passage must have been soaked in gasoline by that guy beforehand, and if we don't get out of here quickly, it won't be long before we all burn to death in this underground bomb shelter.
In the passage behind him, Long Zaitian had disappeared, and with his mobility and discernment, this guy probably had fled by the time of the explosion.
Because Uncle Tian was at the back of the team, he was just shocked by the shock wave, but fortunately there was no major problem, but Liu Guoqiang seemed to be very injured. Fell to the side, silent, not knowing what the situation was now.
I endured the pain in my back, stood up, slowly walked in front of Liu Guoqiang, and then said, "Captain Liu, how is it, can you still walk now?" ”
I slapped him three times in a row, and the guy finally reacted and got up from the ground groggily. I asked him if he was hurt anywhere, but this guy was probably stunned by the blast wave, and after thinking for a long time, he replied that he had just eaten lunch.
"In short, let's leave the corpse and the murderer alone, let's get out of here first, and then stay, it's estimated that we will become a roast pig!"
Liu Guoqiang stood up with difficulty, looked around, and suddenly said suspiciously: "By the way, why don't you see the shadow of Officer Long?" ”
"Officer Long? He was at the back of the team at the time, so it shouldn't matter, let's take care of ourselves first! "Thinking about it, Long Zaitian may have already known the situation in the passage, maybe this guy didn't know about it at all, but he wished I had died here earlier, so he deliberately didn't remind Liu Guoqiang and let him shoot.
If you want to talk about a person's malice, it's nothing more than that, today's account, for the time being, sooner or later, one day in the future, I want to get it back from him!
"Okay, damn, I've never been so embarrassed in my life! The case was not handled clearly, but I was recruited first! ”
After a while, I cooperated with Uncle Tian, helped Liu Guoqiang on the ground, and walked towards the original road with all my strength.
The fire was shining brightly behind it, and the originally dark underground air-raid shelter was as bright as day in an instant, and for a while, the surrounding terrain and access roads were all clear.
As I had expected, the corridor where the young man's body was stored was next to this passage, and was connected by two corridors of about ten meters in the middle.
After death, a lot of combustible gases are produced in the body, so the corpse is originally a combustible substance. The fire spread down the corridor, instantly igniting all the corpses in the corridor. The smell of burnt smoke wafted from me, choking my stomach and almost throwing up.
Looking at Uncle Tian on the side, at this moment, he was already in tears.
Because he was afraid that the villagers would blame their father and son for the incident after knowing that Tian Yan was not dead, and because they were afraid that after the police investigated the dead young man's body, they would understand the truth of the matter and affect their revenge plans.
Uncle Tian even cooperated with Tian Yan to transfer the contents of the eleven coffins to this underground air-raid shelter overnight, but he didn't expect that a sudden fire burned all the eleven corpses.
This village is located in the middle of nowhere, because it is closed, the people in the village are very superstitious, and after the burial, they want to be buried in the ground. But this fire has burned all these things, and now Uncle Tian, in addition to heartache, should blame himself more.
The fire was mixed with thick smoke, and the injuries on his body were even more painful. The three of us had almost run out of milk before we finally ran into the passage under the tombstone.
At the moment of the explosion, Lin Jie and the others also noticed something strange in the bomb shelter, so she sent someone to wait near the exit, just waiting to rescue us.
After finally escaping, I was so tired that I almost collapsed, and after Xiaoxue took care of my back injury, I lay on the bed in the hotel and fell asleep.
During this time, I dreamed of countless strange things, such as corpses that could walk upright, four-legged crawling guys, and strange people in red clothes. When I finally opened my eyes, I found that I had slept for a whole day and a night.
It was later learned that a few hours earlier, another torrential rain had fallen in the village, and the intensity of the rain was similar to the one we encountered when we first arrived.
It was precisely because of this torrential rain that the fire in the underground bomb shelter was extinguished, otherwise, if the fire came out of the ground, the whole mountain would have to be ignited by the fire.
Although the fire was extinguished, the air-raid shelter was also filled with large-scale poisonous gases, and without adequate precautions, no one should dare to take the initiative to go down, in other words, my attempt to find Yin Jiahui's body was once again shattered.
What I didn't expect was that Long Zaitian, who disappeared in the passage at that time, never appeared in this village again. He was like a ghost, and he disappeared without a trace from the underground bomb shelter.
According to the two police officers who had been guarding the tombstone, they had been waiting there since we went down, and they had not seen anyone else come out of the passage. In other words, whether it was the dragon in the sky or the figure we saw in the underground bomb shelter, they were either burned to death in it or found another way to escape, but I prefer the second possibility.
But in any case, we can no longer stay here to investigate, because not long ago, an old friend found us through Ding Qianqian's radio station and brought us a not-so-good news.
