Chapter 62: The Trembling Library 2
This slope...... Break the road.
Zhang Zheng doesn't know how many times he has complained, but the road conditions here are several sections of uphill road that winds and turns nine and eighteen twists and turns, and the traffic between Beijing and Hong Kong has been covered by the subway and new trolleybuses ten years ago, but it is not accessible here at all.
No wonder people are increasingly reluctant to come. It's an abandoned library and area.
Zhang Zheng stopped the car and breathed a sigh of relief. "It depends on the driving skills."
They saw a huge castle-like building, the old faΓ§ade was lonely exposed to the wind, this library is estimated to be older than everyone present from the outside, now young people like fashion, the more exaggerated the special-shaped building, the more popular, this look is the antique library is estimated to be reluctant to walk in just by seeing the appearance.
"One, two, three, four, five, six...... "Although this library is old, it has six floors from the outside windows, and the area is terrifying from the outside. I remembered that Wei Yuan said that this library has been expanded several times, and it is really a bit as grand as half a kingdom.
At this point, the radio was silent, and the man seemed to have stopped talking since half an hour ago. This does not bode well.
"It's half past eight in the morning, and we'd better finish the search before dark, and I won't explain much why." Wei Yuan said.
When darkness comes, it becomes even more difficult to distinguish the line between black and normal. Especially when the power and light are cut off, the sun is the best protector.
"Don't blame me for the conspiracy theory, how do you know that the person who spoke is really still a 'human'? β¦β¦ What if he did this to deliberately lure us here? The grumpy driver leaned against the door and taunted.
Jiang Shan said: "I'll go in and look for it, you can wait outside." β
Human beings automatically divide the eroded people into "aliens", and they themselves may become such "aliens" at any time, how much like the arrogant and prejudiced human society, which always distinguishes "themselves" from "other aliens".
"If we didn't want to save people, we wouldn't be here." Gao Wenwu glanced at Jiang Shan at this time, "You should trust us once in a while." β
Now it seems that it is not that they don't regard Jiang Shan as a teammate, but that Jiang Shan doesn't have the word teammate in his heart.
My teammates are, even if I don't want to go, I won't leave my teammates alone.
Zhao Ying took out the five walkie-talkies that had been prepared and began to distribute: "One for each person, and a spare headset just in case, the overall control of the headset is held by Wei Yuan." β
In this way, everyone has two lines, and the walkie-talkie is broken and the headset is the best that can be done in the lack of resources.
"Old Wei stays outside?"
Wei Yuan's appearance of going in like this is also a drag on the progress, this time it is different from the barren mountain search, the main site is concentrated in the huge building in front of him.
Wei Yuan said, "I'll pick you up outside at any time." Remember, if you find anything out of the ordinary, pass it on as soon as possible. β
In all ages, humanity has won with the precious quality of unity.
"It is recommended that the two of them form a team," Wei Yuan said again, "especially when searching for the first time, it is not appropriate to act alone." β
When you first enter the library, the situation is uncertain, and leaving alone is the most dangerous.
Zhao Ying hurriedly said: "Then I ...... with Jiang Shan"
"Zhang Zheng and Jiang Shan, Zhao Ying and Gao Wenwu are in a group." Wei Yuan said.
"Why?!" Both groups protested at the same time. Zhang Zheng's unhappy eyes are about to pop out, let him team up with the weirdos?
Wei Yuan glanced at the mechanical watch hand on his wrist: "Time waits for no one, let's hurry up and get in." β
Zhang Zheng: "......"
Zhao Ying: "......"
Don't look at Wei Yuan's usual temperament, he never speaks loudly, but whatever he says is what he says, and there is little room for negotiation.
The only exception may be to bring Jiang Shan out of Songshan Hospital.
Jiang Shan doesn't care, she can team up with whomever she wants, she just wants to get in quickly. The sudden silence of the radio gave her a bad feeling.
Five sets of protective clothing, this improved version of the protective clothing, improves the previous cumbersome way of wearing, directly put your feet in, pull the whole garment up, pull it to the top of your head, and zip it directly from the inside.
It can be called a lazy baby dressing method, and it can be done by one person without help, after all, when danger occurs, it is impossible to have someone next to you to help you dress at any time. However, when you put it on, you will know that it is like carrying a weighing weight on your back.
"This new product just came out and gave us a try, so we didn't have to be too moved, just used us as the first wave of experiments." Gao Wenwu said.
Jiang Shan stared at the clothes in front of him: "Can I not wear them." "It's something that will last a lifetime when it's worn once, and it really affects her actions.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan paused and said, "Ah Shan can not wear it." β
Zhang Zheng was unhappy again: "Why ......?"
"If you're not afraid, you don't have to wear it." Wei Yuan said with Yan Yuese.
Zhang Zheng shut up. Well, he coaxes, he wears.
The door of the library is an old-fashioned wooden door, and the lock on it is also a latch and padlock, Wei Yuan took out a key and handed it to Jiang Shan: "Use this to open the door." β
Jiang Shan was surprised: "You have the key to the library?" "That's outrageous, isn't it?
Wei Yuan paused and said, "This is the master key. β
An old-fashioned locksmith's tool that will also be found in many old movies. In fact, it is to use some very common mechanical principles to use clever force to move the lock cylinder to achieve the purpose of opening all kinds of locks without obvious traces without destructiveness. It's just that the primitive mechanical locks have almost been eliminated since twenty years ago, and this kind of key has long faded out of people's field of vision, and even the younger generation does not know that such a thing once existed.
Zhang Zheng whistled: "This kind of thing is really unsafe, no wonder there were so many thieves and thieves in the past." β
Zhang Zheng and Jiang Shan are both the latest generation of young beings born in the new century, and they should have been in contact with AI nannies and electronic childcare teachers since they were infants.
Zhao Ying said coldly on the side: "If the electronic and mechanical network fails, there is no room for rescue, and everyone is finished." β
I still remember the tragedy at the beginning of the erosion event, when the oxygen supply equipment of the central hospital failed, the ground rail was locked, and countless lives disappeared overnight.
This is what happens when you are overly reliant on technology.
Zhang Zheng was replied by Zhao Ying again, and couldn't help but whisper to Gao Wenwu next to him: "Did Zhao Ying take the wrong medicine?" β
Gao Wenwu glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, Zhao Ying's father is missing." She's in a bad mood. β
Zhao Ying was squeamish and timid before, because she was the only daughter of an intellectual family, she had a good relationship with her father, and she had never suffered physical or mental hardship.
With a clear sound of the lock ring being prying, Jiang Shan had already unlocked the door, and Zhang Zheng and Gao Wenwu immediately stepped forward and pushed open the heavy wooden door.
Four people entered the lobby on the first floor of the library.
The smell of decaying dust in the air, of course, no one could smell it except Jiang Shan, and the faint sunlight penetrated through the open door behind him and the surrounding windows, making the hall on the first floor barely visible. A large wooden staircase runs down the side of the hall, and the library apparently doesn't have an elevator.
"Let's split up, everyone as soon as possible." Gao Wenwu said.
Jiang Shan said: "You and Zhao Ying stay on the first and second floors to search, and I'll go upstairs." β
Zhang Zheng found that he was arranged like this, "Hey, why should I listen to you?" "Even if he forms a team, he should be the one who has the final say.
Wei Yuan's voice came from the headset: "Jiang Shan has a radio, and she knows the situation in the library best, so everyone tries to listen to her arrangements." β
Zhang Zheng was angry and died.
Zhao Ying looked at the door behind her, staying on the first and second floors, if something happened, of course, it would be the easiest to escape.
