Chapter 048: Sleepless Nights
Bang Dang!
Xu Yang kicked the door open, and Liu Yue followed...
If Liu Yue saw Yan Xueli blowing the whistle, Xu Yang would definitely not be in such a hurry, after all, it was not the first time that the girl made a fuss, but it was indeed Qin Xiaoyun's whistle, it was definitely not an ordinary thing!
didn't have time to think about it, after Xu Yang broke through the door, he immediately raised his gun, facing the front, and shouted: "Xiaoyun, I'm here to save you!" ”
But when she took a closer look, she found that Qin Xiaoyun was just sitting there, the whistle on her mouth had not been taken off, her calm face was a little more surprised, and Yan Xueli was so frightened that she raised her hand!
It's just that the house is empty, there are no natives coming, and there is no dispute to tear it, it seems that there is almost nothing, which can make Xu Yang very surprised, could it be that this Qin Xiaoyun also has a naughty time, and likes to play "Beacon Opera Princes"?
"Mr. Qin, what's going on? What does this whistle mean..."Liu Yue also asked bluntly.
"Before you answer, Brother Xu, can you put away your gun?" Qin Xiaoyun said a little vigilantly.
Xu Yang realized that it was indeed dangerous, so he put it away first, but he was still puzzled in his heart, and he wanted to know what Qin Xiaoyun was trying to do...
But just as Xu Yang put down the gun and Qin Xiaoyun was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard a bang, bang sound from the ground...
Xu Yang was shocked, what is this? Is it haunted?
Qin Xiaoyun also hurriedly pointed to a ground near the west side wall, and said tightly: "There was a bang, bang, bang sound just now, it feels like there is a living thing underground, I'm afraid that the big thing is coming, so hurry up and blow the whistle for you...."
Xu Yang walked in the direction that Qin Xiaoyun pointed, leaned down his ears and put them close to the ground, and sure enough, there was a strange sound, bang, bang... It's as if someone is buried alive in it and is asking for help, so it is reasonable to think that there is a tunnel underground, but to say that it is the black giant snake is far-fetched, after all, if that thing really comes, it is not this sound, but a direct earthquake and collapse...
Seeing this, Xu Yang found a tool to remove the soil layer little by little, and obviously the soil surface is very shallow, and not long after, he saw an obvious alloy cover made of metal, as well as its obvious clasp!
Xu Yang vaguely remembered that when he first came here, the place where the two corpses were lying seemed to be here, and it turned out to have this meaning, and it is estimated that before the attack, they also thought about hiding in this tunnel, but unfortunately they failed to do so.
But the strange thing is that there is a lock on this alloy cover, but the key is directly tied to the lock, which makes Xu Yang even more strange, shouldn't the direction of the lock prevent the people above from invading below? What's going on the other way, beware of the people below coming up? Is there such an authentic design?
But the sound there did not disappear, Xu Yang asked the girl to step back a little, he took the key to unlock the lock, opened the bolt, opened the clamshell, and suddenly a foul smell came out... Choked Xu Yangzhi coughed!
But the moment it was opened, the sound disappeared, and the ground was empty, except for an iron staircase that climbed down, and there was nothing, and it was pitch black and dark...
"Liu Yue, bring a torch." Xu Yang said.
Liu Yue sent over a burning tree branch, but before giving it to Xu Yang, he still asked: "Xu Yang, don't believe in evil, I think it's very likely that some undead here did it... Let's just apologize to them and tell them not to bother us. ”
"No matter what it is, we have to figure out the reason, and it is very dangerous to draw conclusions without being clear..."Xu Yang continued to stretch out his hand.
"But..."Before Liu Yue could speak, Qin Xiaoyun coughed first, and seeing this, she didn't have much to say, so she could only hand the burning object in her hand to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang took it and hurriedly threw it down, the firelight spread down, which could illuminate a lot of areas, but with the firelight, there were no footprints of any creatures, only the earthen wall, and the fairly flat brown earth, and vaguely there was a shiny iron object underground, and the rest, nothing could be seen.
In addition, the fire of the branch was weak, and it didn't take long for it to go out in a relatively oxygen-deficient environment, and it turned out to be like that, Xu Yang wanted to throw a few more illuminating objects, but as a glimmer of sunlight was collected on his body, Xu Yang couldn't help but think about it more, although he couldn't be sure what was hidden underneath, but obviously there should be no threat, otherwise there should have been a big battle.
Thinking about it this way, he slowly put the lid back on and put the valve bolt back in place.
"How? Xu Yang? In your experience, can you guess what it is? Qin Xiaoyun asked hurriedly.
"It's hard to say, but we can rule out the possibility that it is threatening for the time being, and it may not be a living thing, but a difference in temperature between the ground and the ground, which in turn causes some kind of temperature pressure difference, which is also uncertain. Don't be overly nervous, but it should be okay to be vigilant, I'll lock it up now, and if there's any sound, just don't hear it, the main thing is that there is not enough time, if you don't want to sleep well tonight and wake up from the cold, Liu Yue and I still have a lot of work to do..."Xu Yang explained.
Qin Xiaoyun glanced at the closed tunnel entrance, bit her lip slightly, thoughtfully, and then said: "Okay, then you and Xiaoyue are busy, when you have time, I want to discuss it with you." ”
Xu Yang nodded, he wanted to say another word, but time was really precious, so he didn't let Qin Xiaoyun go first, and continued to work outside with Liu Yue...
and mud, kneading mud, carrying, stuffing the cracks of the wooden house... Continuing to repeat these actions, Xu Yang and Liu Yue did this until the sun went down, and some of them couldn't see their fingers outside, so they stopped doing it for fear that it would be too dangerous.
However, to say that this Liu Yue can be appreciated by a big president like Qin Xiaoyun, and being her personal secretary for several years, she does have her own set, and she is ingenious, which is not to be said, and she is also very strong in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding, except for being always defensive against Xu Yang, she can't find fault with anything else.
The remaining half of the afternoon is extremely efficient, and the air leaks that should be filled are basically filled, and there are still some corners and corners that may be a little missed and not taken into account, but they can basically prevent the wind, and then they can further lock the temperature in the house, which makes the camp that was originally cold to the bone, in just one afternoon, can be regarded as a earth-shaking change in comfort!
At the very least, it's officially inhabitable now...
The moment he came back from work and sat by the bonfire to make a fire, Xu Yang's heart finally settled down a little, with the bonfire burning and driving the heat in the room, now the sudden cold feeling has been indifferent, and this mood is really more than a little better.
Liu Yue and Yan Xueli went to get food, Xu Yang simply filled the reserve water in the suitcase, filled the water with a mineral water bottle, and then slowly cleaned the mud on his hands, at this time Qin Xiaoyun took the initiative to sit down and said, "Brother Xu, there are two things I want to tell you... It's not that I'm making a fuss, but it's really to the point where I need to mention it to you. ”
It is rare for Xu Yang to see Qin Xiaoyun take the initiative to talk, he has always been the first to tease, and she has never done too much ineffective thinking, but now her expression is frowning, I am afraid that something is really wrong.
So he put down the bottle and asked, "Tell me, I'm sure I'm going to listen carefully about survival." ”
"The first thing, about Yan Xueli's girl..."Qin Xiaoyun whispered.
As soon as Xu Yang heard it, he couldn't help but snort and laughed, Qin Xiaoyun immediately hammered Xu Yang's shoulder with a coquettish pink fist, Xu Yang was not afraid, so he couldn't help but lean into her ear and said teasingly: "What, you're still jealous of feeding me medicine, aren't you?" It's okay, I can compensate you, and my brother can feed you your medicine recently until you recover, what's going on..."
"If you dare to keep this hooligan idea again, you're welcome to me, don't say I didn't warn you!" Qin Xiaoyun couldn't help but say with disgust.
Xu Yang already felt a cold object against his waist, and the electricity and the electricity were just a switch time, but he was still cowardly, cleared his throat, and said: "I'm kidding, don't take it seriously..."
"I just think it's a little strange for her to look at me in the afternoon, if you don't believe it, I don't bother to explain it to you, lest you misunderstand me... Let's talk about the next thing, about the underground of that tunnel, I can't say anything more during the day, but now that I have time, I think it is necessary for me to say it, I don't think it's some kind of physical phenomenon below, because before you came in, in addition to the thumping sound, I obviously heard some kind of sharp scream, short and weird..."Qin Xiaoyun said again.
A shrill scream? Xu Yang really couldn't think of what it was for a while, but judging from the sound he heard in the afternoon, if it was really some kind of creature, it might not be a small role... It's just that this thing seems to be afraid of light, so why doesn't it rush out when you open the lid?
Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly a crisp birdsong came from the mountains.
It's nice to hear, but it's a bit abrupt, are the birds of this island day and night?
But when she turned to look at Qin Xiaoyun, she saw that her eyes were already wide...
"What's the matter, don't you hear a sound from underground?" Xu Yang asked.
"There is no underground, there is on the surface, listen... It's wood... Wooden whistle! I'm sure I've seen it..."Qin Xiaoyun raised her eyes and said.
With just one sentence, Xu Yang's brain exploded in an instant!
"Quick, guys! Extinguish the fire! ”
