Chapter 95: Natural Graves
Zhang Qixun continued: "The mountains around the Zhangjia Ancient Mansion are all volcanic rocks that can prevent Milota from secreting liquid to melt, so they can't get here, but the heat emitted by our bodies can still be felt by them, so they can slowly gather over. β
"The whole setting of the ancient building is a kind of large-scale mechanism, and the most critical position is designed with a structure similar to an air pump, and through the pipes interspersed in the building, the alkaline gas can be pushed back into all the spaces."
"When Milota converges, the air pressure in the outer rock cavity will change, and the internal and external air pressure will be different, and the alkaline gas from the outside will be squeezed in, and the organ pipe will only play the role of transmitting gas."
Alkaline gas is not only a facility to expel Milota, but also kills all the creatures in the ancient building, and only the Zhang family who came to the funeral can find a hidden temporary shelter to survive.
Huo Chushi raised doubts at the right time, "In that case, this kind of mechanism that releases alkaline gas is an indiscriminate attack, so don't you also be able to get out, Yu Ye?" β
"That's right." Zhang Qixun said casually, "Zhangjialou is the home of all the Zhang family, a natural grave, and there is nothing wrong with dying here." β
Huo Chushi was speechless, still a little incredulous, but looking at the indifferent expressions on the faces of Zhang Qixun and the little brother, it seemed that they really thought like this.
Everyone's hearts began to burn again, "Is there really no other way for us to live?" β
"Uh-huh." Zhang Qixun took out a piece of candy from his pocket and opened it, and said slowly, "Didn't Comrade Huo Xiaoyao, the great prophet who was killed by you, say before, we all have to die here." β
"So what's the use of us staying here?" The Huo family broke down and shouted, "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to die." β
"Extend the shelf life." Zhang Qixun pointed to the black window paper on the wall, "At least you can enjoy the process of death, and you can also leave time to write your last words." β
"You ......" The Huo family was about to make him angry, so they simply didn't bother with him anymore, and each nestled in the corner, trying to slow down his breathing.
Zhang Qixun glanced at the time on his watch and decided to sleep first.
When you wake up, maybe it's time for everything to come to an end.
I thought that I would sleep for a long time this night, but when Zhang Qixun opened his eyes again, he found that more than four hours had passed.
The Huo family stayed quietly in the corner, seeing Zhang Qixun standing up, his face did not fluctuate for a minute, the initial anxiety passed, and they obviously accepted the fact that they were going to die.
Huo Chushi even divided the food into two parts, moved the most part to Zhang Qixun, and said in a low voice: "Although you don't say it, I know that you have a way to keep yourself alive, and these foods may allow you to last longer." β
Zhang Qixun looked at him quietly and did not speak.
Huo Chushi smiled, with a kind of relief on his face that saw through life and death, "We are actually not the Huo family with blood relations, if there is no family master, the nine of us would have died more than twenty years ago, and if we have lived for so many years, it can be regarded as earning." β
"Our lives are sold to the head of the family, the head of the family can't get out, even if we go out, it doesn't make any sense, if you can, please take her bones out of here and give them to Miss Xiuxiu."
The rest of the Huo family acquiesced to his words, they didn't actually care about death, but they were a little sorry that death was so meaningless, if a bullet was shot out of thin air at this time, they would definitely block the gun for Huo Xiangu without hesitation.
Zhang Qixun was still silent, did not say anything, did not agree, and did not refuse.
didn't get a response, Huo Chushi's eyes flashed a touch of disappointment, sighed regretfully, put the last bag of compressed biscuits on his body on the food pile, and turned around to guard Mrs. Huo's side.
"Little brother, you can rest for a while." Zhang Qixun said to the little brother who had been sitting quietly on the side, staring up at the ceiling.
The little brother nodded, leaned against the wall with the knife, closed his eyes, and breathed long and slow.
Zhang Qixun listened to the cyclic clicking sound of the second hand of the watch, and silently calculated where the plot had progressed.
Wu Xiaoxie should have found out that there was a problem with the password at this time, and he had already put on the mask of the third uncle, and reconciled Yuchen Panzi and they rushed to the mountain of Banai, plus the time to gather people and hurry, it would take three or four days to get here at the earliest.
Judeko's advance party may have come in, otherwise the Milotas wouldn't have been so crazy.
With the map he drew in advance, the fat man should go out much faster than in the original plot, and he won't get stuck in the crack of the wall and lose his waist from hunger.
This time, the alkali gas release time will last for a long time, covering the entire Zhangjiagulou area within 24 hours, and it is not known how long it will be released in the future.
Because in the next few days, after hearing that the little brother had an accident inside, Jude Kao would send someone in again to find what he wanted, Huo Youxue, who was guarding outside, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, only when it was determined that Mrs. Huo was completely dead here, and the evidence was brought out, their struggle for power would be justified and not criticized by the other nine sects.
At that time, the ancient building will become a man-eating demon building, and the more people who come in, the more Milota will gather, and the more alkaline gas will be, which is simply a vicious circle.
Even if Xie Yuchen and Pan Zi take the map and come in first, they will definitely encounter danger under the disturbance of many forces, Milota is as uncontrollable as the heartbeat, if it is just an ordinary Milota, it is fine, but what Zhang Qixun is most afraid of is that he is too popular, and he will hook up with the ancestors of Milota under the ancient building, and that nightmare makes his heart always tighten a string.
Somehow had to be found to lure all of Milota to a corner of the ancient building, so that they wouldn't run into a high-ranking Milota when they entered, and at the same time, they wouldn't trigger the deadly Alkali Trap.
And there is also a very strange point, the person hiding in the team has never been found, he knows too many secrets of Zhangjia Gulou, and he must not let him get out alive, he has to take advantage of this time to find out and get rid of people.
Zhang Qixun's gaze swept around the remaining Huo family, but he still couldn't see any flaws, he frowned, looked at the time, and another two hours passed.
Either the guy was too patient, or the guy wasn't among the rest of the people.
He suddenly thought of the two people who didn't keep up with the team when he encountered Qiangji, Huo Xiaoli and Huo Chuqi.
Could it be that guy is an unlucky guy who is already dead outside?
Reason told him that even a fly would be melted into a dry corpse under that strength of alkaline gas, but there was always a kind of uneasiness in his heart inexplicably, and this situation beyond his control made him a little at a loss, in the quiet space, with the sound of his heartbeat, that bit of uneasiness was also eating away at his reason a little bit.
He attributed this uneasiness to the jealousy of the Wang family behind him, and after thinking about it, he still decided to go out and check it out, he had to make sure that the two people were dead, otherwise he would never rest assured, and he would not allow any mistakes in the plan he had made.
Glancing at the little brother who had fallen into a deep sleep, he told himself to wait, and when the little brother woke up, he could also observe the rest of the people by the way.
He didn't believe that that person would really be indifferent to the situation he was trapped in here, and if he didn't get what he wanted, he would definitely do something.
The fastest and slowest in the world, the longest and shortest, the most overlooked and the most regrettable, is time.
It's like water vapor when it heats up, and the heat disappears in an instant.
Another six hours have passed, the sequelae caused by the previous inhalation of alkaline gas are still continuing, the Huo family's cough is getting worse and worse every time, Huo Xiuxiu can't hold on and has signs of fainting, Huo Chushi has to take care of Mrs. Huo, and Huo Xiuxiu has to take care of both Mrs. Huo and Huo Xiuxiu.
Seeing this, Zhang Qi got up and took Mrs. Huo over to help him take care of it.
Huo Chushi thought that he had agreed to what he had done before, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he said softly: "Thank you." β
Zhang Qixun waved his hand casually, there was no difficulty for him to take a corpse out, and after taking it out, it could be regarded as an explanation to the real Huo Xiuxiu.
This time, for some reason, the little brother slept very deeply.
Zhang Qixun thought that there was something wrong with his body, but after checking it, he found that he was indeed just asleep, so he didn't bother him.
It wasn't until the night of the second day after being trapped here that the little brother woke up leisurely.
The first time he woke up and opened his eyes, Zhang Qixun realized that something was wrong.
There are more things in the indifferent eyes of the little brother, as if there is a kind of emptiness and remoteness out of time, and when he lowers his eyelids, he instantly returns from the top of the snow-capped mountain to the mortal dust under his eyes.
Zhang Qixun understood the reason for this change in him, and didn't say anything, just handed him the food he had made.
Huo Xiangu still has no signs of waking up, so it's actually okay, Zhang Qixun is quite afraid that the old lady will suddenly return to the light, grab his hand and explain some last words to him, that will really tie him to the rotten fruit tree of the Huo family.
Turning his head to see that the little brother was almost finished, Zhang Qixun avoided the Huo family's side and told him with his mouth that he had to go out.
The little brother was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and resolutely objected: "No, you will die if you go out." β
"You can't die, don't worry." Zhang Qixun smiled, and then saw the little brother put down the lunch box and had the movement to get up, and the muscles all over his body began to tense.
This is a precursor to adjusting his internal breath and mobilizing his muscles before he moves.
Zhang Qixun suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, did the little brother see that he was disobedient and couldn't persuade him, so he wanted to shoot him out directly.
He didn't dare to move now, in case the little brother misunderstood and shot directly to hit him, it would be miserable, obediently take a beat, he would definitely have to faint until Wu Xiaoxie and they came in before they had a chance to wake up, if they resisted, the movement of their fight would have to dismantle this small secret room with a bigger turtle shell.
"Little brother, don't do it, listen to me." Zhang Qixun hurriedly explained, "I have to go out, that person hasn't been found yet, I must not be at ease before I am sure that he is dead, I have to go and confirm." β
The little brother still twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes as deep as an ancient well were always staring at him, motionless, which was the biggest expression Zhang Qixun saw on his face except for a light smile.
Zhang Qixun's heart suddenly felt bad, and the muscles and bones in his body involuntarily tensed.
The little brother seemed to judge something from his reaction, and said expressionlessly: "You didn't tell the truth." β
Even if he didn't know the reason, the little brother's first reaction was to stop him and knock the danger out in the cradle.
Zhang Qixun's heart was alarmed, and as soon as his shoulders were short, he went out sideways.
Because of the prediction in advance, the little brother caught a blank spot this time, and then did not hesitate at all, and immediately chased after him.
Zhang Qixun hurriedly retreated, just dodging the little brother's offensive, and didn't fight back at all, and the nature of fighting back changed.
Huo Chushi was weak and groggy lying on his back, his consciousness had just woken up a little, and then he suddenly saw that the two of them didn't know what to say, and they started fighting without saying a word, and they were suddenly completely awake.
He struggled to get up and persuade him, but he didn't stretch his feet, which just blocked Zhang Qixun's retreat.
"Your sister's!"
He had nowhere to avoid this small space, so he stepped on Huo Chushi's outstretched leg and stumbled over himself, and the little brother took the opportunity to step forward and slash his neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious.
Although he dodged at the last moment, the little brother still numbled half of his left shoulder.
"Whew-"
Huo Chushi screamed loudly, and several people in a coma were woken up by his voice, lying on the ground weakly, asking in a hoarse voice.
"What ahem...... What's the situation? β
"What's wrong? Isn't it Milotha...... Got in? β
Huo Chushi subconsciously withdrew the leg that was stepped on, Zhang Qixun had already resisted, and before he had time to adjust his posture, plus he wanted to hide from the little brother's next move, he simply took advantage of the unstable standing to fall down, rolled from Huo Chushi's body to two steps away and turned over, and then immediately made a pause gesture at the little brother.
Only then did the little brother stop and stand in place and look at him fixedly.
Zhang Qixun bared his teeth and rubbed his shoulders in pain, "Hiss...... You're a stuffy oil bottle, you're ruthless enough. β
If it were an ordinary person, this time it would be a direct crack.
The unlucky Huo Chushi hugged his legs, his face was distorted in pain, and he didn't forget to persuade the two of them out loud, "If you have something to say, after all, you guys are a family, and you still have tendons when you break bones." β
"Rest quickly, you, we're just staying in the nest for too long to see the activity and move your muscles." Zhang Qixun rolled his eyes angrily, squatted down to check his leg, "It's not broken, it's just swollen." β
Huo Chushi grinned, but he was relieved intermittently, "It's okay...... My lungs are ...... anyway Ahem is rotten, it doesn't matter if it keeps breaking. β
The chamber here is also made of wood, and although the wood has been specially treated to temporarily take refuge, sooner or later alkaline gas will seep in.
