Chapter 16 Repeated Route
After the battle last night, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted.
The sky was already bright, and it was still a little gray after the heavy rain. The stars shone in the sky through the fog, and the crowd helped them stbble all the way to the depths of the woods, dragging their long backs.
"Look, there is a hill in front of it. It doesn't look big. There seems to be a building on it." Wang Chao was the first to cheer up. He pointed to a hill not far away and shouted.
Although it is not very clear, everyone can see the vague outline the size of the fist, standing on the top of the mountain alone.
When Dai people approached, they found that the mountain was not a mountain, but a small slope. Maybe the visual error was caused by the unclear sight just now, but the building above did exist. They have reached the foot of the mountain. Now that they have come, although they are a little disappointed, Yang Yu proposed to go up and have a look. Anyway, now There is no direction, only to go forward, and there may be new discoveries.
Du Qi's idea is that the flood has receded now. They can return along the original road and then follow the mountain road and the direction of Xiaobei Chen Siwei's disappearance. In this way, the chance of meeting is still very large.
Wang Chao looked at the situation on the top of the mountain, and then squatted down and looked carefully at the ground, trying to find something ordinary, but he didn't say anything. Everyone stood there waiting for his answer. After all, since Chen Siwei disappeared, Ye Laosan is no longer there now. Wang Chao is their acting leader and holds the decision-making power.
He stood up, looked at the distance again, and slowly said, "Go up. You can't come here for nothing."
With his decision, although it is only one sentence, it also determines the direction of everyone and their fate. Is it death? Is it hope? Or more danger and novelty?
However, everyone knows that there is nothing new in this place worth looking for.
But because there is no way out now, he can only do this. Wang Chao can't help smiling bitterly. He also hopes that everyone can find the captain and Beck as soon as possible, but now everyone feels that this hope is not big, and they need to rest and rectify. And going up the mountain is a good opportunity.
How to say, although it is not very useful and a waste of physical strength, now they no longer dare to enter the mountain village easily. This seems to be a wasteland. No one knows where the people here have gone. It's like evaporation, which is really depressing.
Every time everyone passes with confidence, and then escapes out awkwardly, there will still be some shadows in their hearts, but when they think about it, they always feel that there is something wrong.
All this is too strange. Every time you enter the mountain village, something will happen. The first time is the flash flood, the second time is to encounter the wolves, sacrificed three or four teammates, and break up with the leader, which is a serious blow to everyone's confidence. Although no one said it, now he is at the helm, and he must shoulder the responsibility of the leader.
These two people are heavy, which makes him breathless. Fortunately, he has had similar experiences before, otherwise I'm afraid that this team may collapse soon. Now is the time to set a goal for everyone.
Maybe there are people living in the building on the hillside. Even if there is no one, they can temporarily settle down. He has seen the traces here. There are no traces of dangerous creatures moving here, and the location of the building is very convenient for everyone to escape.
What is it easy to go down the mountain? When going down the mountain, even if they are chased, they can speed up about 50 to 60 percent of human running, and it takes a lot of effort to run up the foot of the mountain.
Here, the vision is wide, and the surrounding open area is very suitable for people to pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time. There is more information to control the height, and it is very convenient to monitor the surrounding dynamics.
When the decision is made, everyone will support unconditionally. They need a pillar too much.
After a difficult walk, they finally arrived at the door of the building.
It's a very small house that doesn't look like a resident. What's it for? It looks very retro and has a little temple flavor, but the surroundings are neatly cleaned up, except for the half-height weeds on the ground. Yes, it smells desolate.
No matter what Yang Yuke did, he went straight forward to enter the hospital. The dilapidated wooden door inside was about to fall off and hung on the door frame, as if he was inadvertently watching the crowd.
"Someone has been here! There are traces of human activities!" A team member ran in happily. There was only one doorless hall on the front. It seemed that this was an ancestral hall?
Du Qi followed silently and pulled the wood ashes on the ground, as well as unburned charcoal, and the temperature, indicating that the people here had just been there and left for no more than ten hours.
"It seems that this is not a wrong decision." Yang Yu continued to move forward with a smile, leaving the rest of the people to survey in the rear.
Wang Chao walked to Du Qi and looked around again. He always felt that this place was a little abnormal. He said, "There is still a road behind this. Let's take a break and follow this road. Maybe good luck has begun to favor us."
Du Qi took a look at him, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so." After saying this sentence, people can't figure it. They sit on the ground and start to close their eyes and refresh their minds.
Wang Chao continued to ask, "What? Did you find anything?"
Du Qi: "No, but I think we seem to be in trouble since this trip." His words are always so few that it can really be called the four words "xi zi ru jin".
Of course, Wang Chao did not refute him. Anyway, they have not encountered anything good since they came out this time. What they just said is just to relieve this tense atmosphere. After all, it is too depressing and unfavorable to their future actions.
Suddenly, Yang Yu said, "There's something wrong here. Come and have a look."
Wang Chao followed Yang Qian to take two steps forward and found that there seemed to be traces of movement on the ground. Obviously, there should be no cracks or other things on the ground, but now the facts are in front of him, and it is indeed abnormal.
"The brick has been moved." Yang Qian affirmed Wang Chao's inner thoughts. Wang Chao and Du Qi are all veterans. In this way, they have new things to do.
"It's really troublesome." One of the team members complained.
"Yes, I thought I could take a break." Another team member echoed.
Although Wang Chao is a little ashamed, there is no other way now. He just found that everyone can't take it lightly. Fortunately, everyone is not unreasonable. After venting his inner entanglement, he strengthened his spirit again. The two stared at the surrounding environment, and the rest of the people helped Wang Chao start to pry the land. Board.
When it was opened, everyone was stunned.
"Ah, there is also a secret channel below, or a secret room!" A team member couldn't help exclaiming. We should go down and have a look!"
Wang Chao thought for a moment, but immediately said, "Wait a minute, I'll go down to see if it's dangerous." Because it is obvious that the people who originally left here have gone down, there is no need to know that there is still oxygen below. Moreover, the floor is not very porcelain. Ordinary marble concrete, the gap between the floors is also breathable. Now the remaining question is whether there is something offensive underneath.
Yang Yu and another person removed the movable stone brick so that Wang Chao's body could pass through. The gap in his body shape is indeed not enough, and in this way, even if there is danger, he can have a chance to escape quickly. As for whether it will cause trouble from below, it will be considered later. They really don't have the energy to travel long distances. It's better to bet on life as a bet. If you lose, it's death. It's really an exciting game. Yang Yu couldn't help licking his lips.
"Here, take this." Yang Wei took out a mountaineering rope and didn't know where he had been hiding on his body. Wang Chao didn't ask much. It was very dangerous to go out, especially in this industry. These things were basic objects, and there was nothing wrong with carrying them with him, so he didn't ask more questions. He clicked a little to express his gratitude, and then tied them up. The cat's waist went down.
The light below is not very bright, but because it is daytime, it is enough to see the things around him. The space inside is not very large, and there is only one table. If this table is not just for him to step on, it would have taken some effort to get down. He walked forward tentatively without a mechanism.
It doesn't seem to be particularly important or a treasure place, otherwise I'm afraid he will greet him with a bunch of strange hidden weapons when he comes down. Speaking of strangeness, Wang Chao was suddenly stunned. What is this on the ground? It's a little strange.
He squatted down, touched a handful of ashes from the ground not far away, sniffed his nose twice, and his eyes widened.
After less than two minutes, Wang Chao's head emerged under the gaze of Yang Yu and others.
"Why is it so fast? Isn't there any danger inside?" Yang Yu asked.
"It's okay, there's no danger." Wang Chao shook his head, and then thought for a moment and added, "It looks like this for the time being."
"OK, then I'll go down too." He knew that Wang Chao took the lead to prove that he could take the responsibility of the team leader. Although the leader would not easily take risks because of its importance, Wang Chao can only take the lead in this critical period in order to improve morale.
Wang Chao went down again, and now a total of three people, including Yang Yu, have gone into the secret room.
"This is the ashes." Wang Chao pointed to a handful of ashes on the ground and said. Others had noticed it for a long time, and Wang Chao explained without asking. In terms of color, the time is not short, and it should not be the group of people we are looking for.
"This place is a bit like an ancestral hall. Isn't this secret room the place to hold the urns of important people? That's not set up underground. It's not a bright weapon. Who will steal this thing if you have nothing to do? Yang Yu shook his head helplessly.
"This is definitely not the place to put that thing, let alone be missed." Wang Chao affirmed.
"Just kidding. Hey hey." Yang Qi responded with a smile, and then pointed to a big hole inside and asked, "What is this?" To the grave? This neighborhood is a good feng shui. Maybe it's really an ancient tomb.
It is a breach on the wall. It is half a person's height, and the edges are fragmentary, mixed with gravel powder. It is messy and should have been forcibly broken. But who is it? Why do you want to break a good secret room? Where does the passage lead to?
