About ten minutes passed before the three of them finally found the door at the deepest point of the tunnel before the oxygen was completely consumed.
The door here has been opened, so the key prepared by the scientist in advance has no effect.
Several people passed through the gate, and there was a vertical black iron staircase inside. Just in case, Lu Qing walked at the top of the staircase, followed by the old man, and finally the scientist.
All the way up, several people gradually walked out of the flooded area. Lu Qing pushed open the door of the tunnel entrance and climbed out from the stairs.
"call........"
This place looked like a warehouse, but it must have been abandoned for a long time. Lu Qing removed the respirator and oxygen tank from his body, and suddenly felt that his breathing became much easier.
The feeling of breathing underwater with a respirator is not pleasant, especially after a long time, it will feel very stuffy. At this time, when the respirator is removed, she feels as if she has come to life again.
Not to mention the elderly and scientists, taking off the heavy and stuffy protective clothing on their bodies made them feel much lighter.
"Have we arrived at the outer area?" the scientist said as he took off his protective clothing.
"Not sure." Lu Qing shook her head and replied.
She really wasn't sure. After all, there were no windows in this room, and she couldn't see what was going on outside.
But you can actually feel it without looking. This is probably a kind of intuition after staying in the dark forest for a long time. As long as you haven't gone out, you can always feel the breath of the forest.
"Anyway, let's search the area first." Lu Qing raised a finger and suggested.
"That's all we can do." The old man shook his head helplessly.
"It's best to look for a gas stove. If there isn't one, we need to build one as soon as possible before night comes." The scientist said after thinking calmly for a while.
"The difference between the inside and outside of the house is too obvious..." Lu Qing thought as she looked at the scientist who became very calm at this time.
Maybe this has something to do with a sense of security?
Because when you feel safe inside the house, you become very calm, but when you are outside the house you feel insecure and often scared, so you can't calm down?
With this thought in mind, Lu Qing pushed open the door of the house and found that there was a larger wooden house next to this house. However, this wooden house looked a little dilapidated and many of the doors were damaged.
The three of them searched the house carefully and soon found the room where the gas stove was placed. Lu Qing put the backpack down from behind and peeled off the leather on it.
"Gah, I'm so suffocated!" The moment he opened the backpack, Wein flew out of the backpack and shouted loudly.
"Don't make any noise."
Lu Qing ignored Wein's complaints, took out a piece of parasitic wood from his backpack, and stuffed it into the gas stove.
When the familiar safety gas slowly floated out from the gas furnace, Lu Qing and the other two people felt inexplicably relieved.
One of the scientists looked at Wei Yin standing on Lu Qing's shoulder with some curiosity, but after all, this was someone else's business. Lu Qing had saved him, so he was not embarrassed to ask.
However, Lu Qing saw the scientist's thoughts, patted Wein's head and said: "His name is Wein, he is my companion, you can understand him as the mutated crow of Black Water."
"I'm not a crow!" Wein protested.
"It's really amazing..." The scientist looked at Wein and couldn't help but sigh.
After a pause, the scientist looked outside the room through the broken window and said, "No matter how mysterious this forest is, I don't want to study it anymore. I just want to return home as soon as possible to find my relatives."
"We will." Lu Qing comforted the scientist when he saw that he looked a little sad.
"Yes, we will." After hearing Lu Qing's words, the scientist nodded and said firmly.
.........
After spending about two hours, the three of them finally ransacked everything in the house.
Apart from a lot of building materials that are not worth paying attention to, there is only one notebook that is worth paying attention to.
This notebook seems to have been left by someone who worked here before. It specifically records the work done by this staff member and some information sent by the government.
To put it roughly, it is......
This place used to be a gas station. After the incident in the dark forest, several frontal attacks failed, so the government sent a scientific research team to transform the gas station into a research laboratory for experimental research.
In addition, they also dug a tunnel into the forest and built a laboratory underground there.
However, it was a pity that the underground laboratory eventually collapsed due to tree roots under the forest. After that, the government issued a retreat order and asked the investigation team to leave the place, and the place was abandoned.
This notebook should have been left here, and the other things that should have been taken away were taken away, leaving nothing useful.
For Lu Qing and the others, the most important thing right now is not how to leave the dark forest, but how to spend the night.
The gas stove is already burning, so in theory there is no problem, but many of the doors of the house are in a damaged state. In addition, most of the windows have been smashed by unknown beasts. It is necessary to
Re-reinforce.
It's wonderful to be able to rest peacefully in a house like this.
So after some discussion, everyone decided to repair the house first and then figure out how to leave the forest.
Now that the goal has been clear, what needs to be done is very simple. The scientist is responsible for setting up his laboratory, while Lu Qing and the old man repair nearby houses urgently.
Among them, Lu Qing took care of the door, while the old man was responsible for reinforcing the windows.
As for wood, there are plenty of them in the forest, so just chop one at random.
But there is one thing here that can be explained additionally.
It's a bit outrageous to say that Lu Qing had found a chainsaw in a factory in the dark forest before, and this chainsaw burned oil. Lu Qing himself was not very short of oil, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But when she tried to use the chainsaw to cut down trees, she discovered that because the trees were so hard, the chainsaw broke after cutting for a while, and the saw chain almost fell off.
Therefore, when it came to cutting down trees, Lu Qing could only rely on brute strength. She had already damaged the axes she had collected from the village.
And when she came here this time, she didn't bring an ax with her, so it would be a little troublesome to chop down the tree.
But, as the saying goes, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Lu Qing just thought for a while and figured out how to cut the tree.
【Great appetite!】
He opened his big mouth suddenly, and with the blessing of the energy in his body, Lu Qing easily took a big bite of wood from the tree trunk in front of him. Relying on this method, in just one minute, the big tree in front of him was completely destroyed.
