Peeling away a large amount of gravel in front of you, the dull tunnel is filled with pungent gunpowder and strong dust.
My mind is still confused, the ringing in my ears has not gone away for a long time, and I cannot hear any other sounds.
Victor didn't know where he was or whether he was dead or not. He stretched out his hand to touch for a long time but couldn't touch anyone else, only hard gravel.
"Detective...ahem...Henry! Downey!"
Victor opened his mouth to shout, but he couldn't even hear his own voice clearly. His throat was sore and full of ash.
He moved two steps, and suddenly a hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed his arm.
The next second, a faint light was lit on Victor's left side, and Donnie's awkward face appeared.
"Mr. Victor! How are you?" The other party seemed uninjured and was in much better condition than Victor. He dragged Victor and kept greeting him, "What's going on with those bastards outside?! Why did they appear all of a sudden?
Already?"
Victor's tinnitus disappeared over time, and he could hear Donnie clearly, and he could see his situation clearly through the light of the oil lamp.
He had just crawled out of the collapsed stone slab. He had no serious injuries, only scratches. Downey was standing in front of him with an oil lamp, and behind him was Henry, who was motionless.
The young agent leaned against the rock wall, unresponsive, and half of his face was gray.
Seeing Henry's look, Victor finally remembered what happened in the flash of lightning just now.
Henry pushed Victor and Donnie back at the last moment, allowing the two to avoid the most dangerous collapse range, but he himself...
"It's okay, the detective fainted. We have to find another way out of here quickly." Donnie's words interrupted Victor's thoughts about the bad situation, which actually made him feel relieved.
Just be alive!
After moving his tibia, Victor checked Henry's injuries. There were many small wounds, but none of them were fatal. He probably hit his head while lying down and fell unconscious.
He pulled off his sleeves, made a simple bandage for Henry, then squatted down and carried him on his back.
"You hold the lantern and lead the way while we look for other exits."
After giving instructions to Donnie, the other party walked towards the depths of the tunnel with a lantern without saying a word.
Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao...
Daan!
The lost property is not far away, the house is safe and sound, the pedestrians are not moved, and the sick owner is fine!
Picking up an auspicious divination, Victor felt confident that this encounter would be a near miss.
However, fortunes are ever-changing. If they seek death too much, God cannot protect them.
Just like the gunman said before that there were some monsters hiding in the pit, this worried Victor the most.
So, he told Downey to be vigilant and to stop and observe carefully if there was any movement.
"Master Victor, what if there is no other exit?"
Donnie felt his way through the rock wall and asked Victor worriedly.
There was no way to answer this. The only way before them was because the previous entrance had already been blocked by the explosion.
"Who are those guys? Why do they suddenly appear at the entrance of the tunnel to plant explosives?" Downey asked repeatedly.
His words seemed a bit too much, but Victor was thinking about this issue along the way.
There was only one face-to-face encounter, and it was impossible to tell who the other person was.
However, Victor made a rough guess in his mind.
The other party is either someone from the Conor Gang, or... someone from Cornwall Energy Company!
Comparatively speaking, Cornwall Energy Company is the most likely, because the Cornwall Gang is being encircled and suppressed by Chief Inspector Josh's troops. Their scope of activities is limited, and they should not send people to break out and come here just for the sake of
Plug this hole.
As for Cornwall Energy, they did have good reason to blow up the entrance to the tunnel. They wanted to cover up what was inside.
I just don’t know where these guys came from. The scrap factory area is so empty and there is no way to hide so many people. At the beginning, only the three unlucky gunmen were patrolling.
There is no point in speculating too much now, because Victor has already fallen into a very dangerous situation.
When Donnie saw that Victor didn't reply, he swallowed his saliva and made an obvious rumble in his throat.
He carefully used the light to illuminate the unknown depths, and the worn shoes made a dragging sound on the ground. It was not so hidden in the quiet tunnel, and it even sounded like a reminder.
There was not much kerosene left in the lampshade, and the fire flickered from time to time. The shovels and miner's hammers scattered on the ground were often kicked by them.
Although Donnie was not smart, he was also very careful at this time. His eyes were attracted by something in the corner and he immediately stopped.
"What is that..."
The low-pitched inquiry also caught Victor's attention. He looked over and saw that there were three or five large iron cages stacked together.
"Why is there such a big iron cage in the tunnel of the quarry?"
These things look like the cages used to transport prisoners in the security station.
Victor suddenly thought of what the male prostitute said.
These things...
Could it be used to transport the Valentines?
According to the other party, a carload of Valentines were escorted into the ironworks. No one knew what the Cornwall Company was doing with them.
"Look... there's a dead person!" Donnie whispered and pointed to a certain cage for Victor, where a skeleton was curled up and had been dead for a long time.
Cages are piled up on a fork in the road. Traces of dragged objects can be seen spreading on the ground, but there are no traces on the main road.
"The former Valentines were escorted over there!"
Donnie also noticed it and seemed a little surprised and a little excited.
But suddenly, Victor hurriedly ducked to the side, causing Donnie to shut up immediately.
Before Donnie could figure out what was going on, some low snorts appeared from the other end of the tunnel, accompanied by a large number of trotting movements.
This is not a sound that a human can make!
Donnie was a little scared and hid in a cage. Victor also climbed in with Henry on his back, and closed the door of the cage with his backhand.
They headed into the darkness, and Downey raised his pistol and aimed at the unknown place.
Then, they saw several shadows running from the tunnel. Those things were crawling, with their backs bent, like wolves or running apes.
There are some on the ground and some hanging from the rock wall above our heads!
"Lights out!"
Victor grabbed the oil lamp and extinguished it, and then the entire tunnel fell into darkness.
Those snorts were getting closer and closer, and could be heard clearly through the cage. The running footsteps circled in front of the iron cage. After losing their light, this group of unknown creatures lingered outside for a long time and did not leave for a long time.<
/p>
Victor held his breath. Now he didn't dare to turn on the light to see what these things looked like.
Suddenly! Their iron cage was hit by a strong force, shaking violently. The creatures outside the cage bared their teeth, and the shaking of their throats and snorting almost touched the faces of Victor and Donnie. p>
Victor didn't dare to make any sound, and so did Donnie.
There is no light, nothing can be seen, but the danger is right in front of us, separated only by a metal fence.
"Well..."
Unfortunately, Henry seemed to feel the pain and groaned in a coma.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the mysterious monsters outside became more and more rapid, and the low sounds coming from their throats came one after another. Then, they began to violently hit the iron cage in front of them!
