The moment the door was opened, a stream of air blew out of it, bringing up dust on the ground, making the tunnel dusty in an instant, choking on a dry cough, covering our mouths and noses with our hands, facing the wall and waiting for the air to blow through.

When the dust almost fell back to the ground, I stood in front of the blast door again, looked inside through the headlights, and sure enough, I saw a fork in front of me, dividing the tunnel into two and extending in a Y-shape, but these two tunnels were obviously reduced by a circle, although the walk was relatively spacious, but it was absolutely impossible for the car to drive in.

So from here on, we switched to walking with our equipment on our backs, and in order to prevent emergencies, I deliberately kept the armor active, so that if there was any special situation, I could deal with it as soon as possible, and of course it would be easier to carry the backpack.

According to the route shown on the map, we took the tunnel on the left for the shortest distance, and the tunnel on the right could also lead to our destination, but it was a long detour, and we were not here to explore, so we naturally chose the shortest distance.

The tunnel starts to become extremely complicated from here, and there are all kinds of forks on the road, such as what cross forks, T-shaped forks, Y-shaped forks and even F, X, and K forks, which is simply a good place to learn the English alphabet.

It seems that this place is indeed quite evil, and if there is no map to indicate it, it is estimated that it will be difficult for people to get out as soon as they enter.

Of course, along the way we also passed by a lot of rooms, large and small shapes, as long as we passed by we all checked one by one, but unfortunately all empty, except for some dusty debris and tools on the ground, there was nothing, and the rooms we had seen outside, have not yet completed the final repair work.

We walked briskly in the silent tunnel with miner's lanterns, Officer Zhang walked in front to lead the way, and we followed closely behind him, everyone gathered together, the light was very bright, and we were illuminated as if it was day, but it was still dark not far from the light source.

As I walked, I noticed that Officer Zhang was constantly sweeping the ground with a flashlight, and every time he passed a fork in the road, he had to look inside carefully, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this scene, I asked him curiously, "Officer Zhang, did you find anything?"

Officer Zhang replied: "Have you noticed that the footprints on the ground are new and old, obviously not left by the same people, but these people have taken the same route as us, and no one has taken other forks." ”

In fact, when I first came in, I also found these footprints, in addition to the footprints, there are two parallel lines three centimeters wide, starting from the blast door where we parked all the way in, these two lines I know, they are the wheel prints of the flatbed truck, in the past in the security team often used that kind of board car to pull things, so I am very sure.

But these marks did not attract my attention, because the first time I saw them, I had already determined that these marks were left by Master Wei's men when they came in, and there was nothing surprising about them.

But after Officer Zhang said this, I also remembered that there was indeed no sign of leaving in the forks in the road I passed before, but what does this mean?

Officer Zhang frowned when he saw that we were all frowning, knowing that we didn't quite understand what he meant, so he continued to explain: "Think about it, in such a terrain environment, the other party actually chose the same route as us, and did not take a fork in the road, what does this mean?"

At this time, Mr. Wang patted his head and exclaimed first: "Oh, I understand, this means that the other party probably also has a map of this place, and these routes were planned before coming in, so there were no detours." ”

Officer Zhang nodded and continued: "Not only do they have maps, but I guess the other party probably knows a lot of information that we don't know. Assuming they get the map here by coincidence and get here, how do they set their goals?"

When I heard this, I suddenly realized and said in surprise: "Yes, the reason why we chose this path is because we know where the goal is. But when they first came in, this place should be unknown, only a little exploration can determine the goal or use, how can they go straight to the center point as soon as they enter, it seems that they not only have a map that allows them to find a shortcut, but also know what they are looking for and where to put it in this base. ”

Zhang Yang behind me said innocently: "It's just some footprints, maybe it's a coincidence?"

The wire on the side said disdainfully: "Why are you so stupid." It's like a thief who goes to your house to steal something, but doesn't turn it around anywhere else, only the cabinet where you hide your cash, do you think it's a coincidence? ”

I glanced at Tie Si'er in surprise, and Tie Si'er smiled proudly when she saw this and said, "Brother Wei." Am I right?" he bared his teeth, waiting for me to compliment him.

I saw what he meant, so I joked, "What surprised me was not what you said, but the courage you had to use your own example." ”

Ridicule is ridicule, but it is undeniable that his inference is still very reasonable, the reason why the other party is so familiar with the situation here is only one possibility, that is, one of them knows the inner membrane of the base.

Just as we were discussing, a rear-facing blast door appeared in front of us, which, like the one we saw earlier, was also closed and locked with a steering wheel lock.

Standing in front of this door, Officer Zhang said: "Behind this door is the destination, everyone pay attention to it, and be careful of any traps." ”

Everyone nodded in unison, drew their weapons one after another, pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet, Zhang Yang consciously stood in front of the team with his shield in hand, and the others shrank behind him with their heads bowed.

I walked alone to the heavy steel gate, took a deep breath, raised the sword of war, and slashed at the lock, and the lock snapped in two. Then I reached out and took the disc and turned it to the end, and with a gentle push inside, the door creaked and opened a crack.

I poked my head through the crack in the door and looked inside, but there was no light behind the door so it was pitch black, only the beam of light from the miner's lamp above my head swept around inside.

In the extremely dark environment, the lighting effect of the flashlight is much worse, the light emitted is as if it will not be scattered, where it shines, where it is lit, and it is still dark where it is not illuminated, and it becomes very unclear when it shines a little far, it is just a black spot on the cement wall, but I have to look at it for a long time to recognize.

After looking at it for a while, I saw what was inside, it was a circular cave the size of a basketball court, and there was an artificial structure on the ground in the middle of the cave, which looked like an Eskimo dome igloo, but this one was made of cement.

The building occupies most of the cavern, with only a circular aisle around it, and eight doorways open in the stone walls around the domed building, which are narrow enough for one person to pass through at a time.

The roof of the cave is like a semi-circular lid fastened to it, the only difference is that only the ground and the surrounding walls are made of cement, but there is no roof of the cave, so you can see the uneven rocks on the roof of the cave.

According to the map, this cave is the most central location of the entire mountain base, and the dome building in the cave should be Laboratory No. 1, and the first opening on the left side of the entrance should be Laboratory No. 319, where Zhang Yu's soul is stored.

After checking that there was no danger inside, I pushed the door open completely, and after greeting the others, I stepped into the hole, and the others followed after the signal.

I walked straight to Lab 319, intending to find Zhang Yu's soul before seeing what other secrets there were.

The laboratory also has no doors, only a cement-poured door shape, and on the cement wall next to the doorway is the door number of the time: Room 319 of the Trap Hole.

Along the way, we have seen many signs engraved on the cement wall, but they are all such as Experiment Room 307, Experiment Room 329, Experiment Room 398, etc., and there are no other signs, but how can this mark be a hole hunting? What does this mean?

With questions, I went in and looked around with a flashlight, and it was just a small cement house, with an area of only twelve or thirteen square meters at most, and there were still some things piled up in the room, and the originally small area was even smaller. After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see anything special, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was because of the special equipment to be placed, so the name was different?

The insect master walked up to me and asked, "What are you looking at? Isn't the thing here?"

I shook my head and shone my flashlight at the sign on the wall and said, "Look, the name of this house is different from what we saw before, and I want to see what's different inside." ”

"For the sake of the soul, no matter how long the house grows, it's none of our business. Hurry in and find it. ”

After saying that, he pushed me into the house together, and the piles of things on the floor of the room were covered with a thick dusty raincloth, and the largest one of them was still pressed with a large stone, and the insect master and I had to cover our mouths and noses and open them one by one to check, but all we found were generators and gasoline barrels.

I remember that he said at the time that as long as you walk into this house, you can see it at a glance, but we have all searched through it, and there is nothing, if we can't find it here, we can only search this base layer by layer, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in ten days, and the materials we bring will not last at that time.

Because the indoor area is small, a large number of people will hinder each other, so everyone else can only lie on the side of the door and watch us rummage, seeing that we have searched around and found nothing, Iron Wire and Officer Zhang also joined in, and turned over everything inside, Officer Zhang even pried open the lid of several gasoline barrels to look inside, but the barrels were full of genuine gasoline.

I scratched my head in frustration, wondering if I had overlooked something, and as I thought, I looked around, and as I looked, I saw that there were many small square holes in the innermost wall, all of which were the size of a cigarette box.

I concentrated the light of the miner's lamp and the flashlight on this wall, and carefully searched the holes one by one to see if things would be placed in these square holes, but when I got closer, I found that these holes could lead to the other side, and when I shone the flashlight into the holes, I saw that there was also a room outside the thick cement wall.

Because the hole was so small, it didn't allow the flashlight to shine into every corner of the room opposite, and I could only roughly tell that the house was much larger than the one we were, but it was empty like the other rooms.

When I was inspecting the hole, I also found a small blast door behind the gasoline drum in the corner of the room, which was also open to the opposite room, the size of which could only accommodate one person, and of course the door was also installed in reverse, the door was facing the room, but the handle was on the wall.

It's getting weirder and weirder, what kind of lab needs to be built like this, what are those holes for? Are they used for wires?

"Brother Wei, see if this is what you're looking for. ”

Just when I was stunned to think, the wire suddenly spoke, when I looked back at him, he was holding the stone that pressed the rain cloth, I frowned and thought for a while, this stone is indeed a little strange, and there is no wind in this hole, why do you have to press the stone on the rain cloth in one more move? But the stone does not seem to have the ability to store souls.

I walked up to the wire, took the stone and looked it up and down, and immediately saw the difference, it turned out that the stone was a jade raw material that had not been completely cut, and only the purple jade the size of a quail egg was exposed on one side of the surface of the stone, and the rest of the stone was still wrapped in the stone.

I showed the stone to the insect master, only to see him put the flashlight on the jade, and the light shone into it through the jade, and I saw a pale green cloud wave in the jade, flowing in Yingying.

Seeing this scene, I stammered and asked, "This, this is Zhang Yu's soul?"

The insect master nodded indifferently: "That's right." Hey, it's useless when I'm old, and I didn't even notice it when it was so obvious. ”

On the way here, the insect master had already told me that there are actually many things that can store souls, such as animal skulls, shoulder blades, bamboo, Gold, etc., but the effect is stored for the longest time, and the best storage effect is considered jade, the general jade can store the soul for decades, the high-grade old jade can store the soul for hundreds of years, and the top old jade can store the soul for thousands of years, and the longer the soul stays in the jade, the better the color of the jade, but when the soul leaves the jade, it will immediately become dead, in other words, the top jade on the market now, there are ghosts living in it.

With these preconceived messages from the insect master, I focused on those things as soon as I came in, and didn't pay attention to the stone that didn't have the ability to store souls, and I guess the insect master probably made the same mistake.
