When it was halfway down, the tactical box was hovering in the air. The well wall was quite old and had cracked several finger-width gaps. Ye Fanxia pushed a few protruding bricks, but he heard the bricks deep inside the wall.
The collision made a dull sound. An irregular diamond shape composed of several cracks slowly pushed outward, revealing a dark hole that extended to an unknown direction.
The strong smell of acid etching hit her face from the cave. Yan Luyi's eyes were stung and blurred. Guo Jiu had already put on a mask and threw another one to her. Ye Fanxia seemed completely unaware and took the first step to leave.
Entered this secret passage.
The interior of the secret passage is extremely dry, and the compact soil is filled with traces of liquid corrosion. Due to the height limit, the three of them had to walk forward with a short body, and they could see more clearly that their short legs were crossed, curled up and dying.
Insect corpses on the ground. Many insect corpses have been corroded by the acid gas until only their shells are left, making a crisp crunching sound when stepped on.
At the end of the passage is a wall made of sheets of metal.
Ye Fanxia's gloves glowed slightly with a golden light. He carefully removed and loosened one of the metal plates, revealing a gap. From this gap, several electronic bees were released.
Not long after the electronic bee flew out, Ye Fanxia suddenly said "Hey" and looked very surprised.
Yan Luyi asked him dully through the mask: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fanxia said: "The electronic bee failed and fell directly to the ground. There is extremely strong electromagnetic interference here. Not only the electronic bee, but also its own defense system may not be able to continue to operate."
He removed the metal plate several times to create a hole that was barely big enough for a person to pass through sideways: "If you guessed it right, something big has happened to this stronghold."
Yan Luyi glanced outside the hole he had dug and couldn't help but shudder.
The exit of the secret passage is located on another well wall, which is made of metal sheets.
This well is so big and deep that you can't see the bottom at a glance. It's like an abyss. There are several tracks deeply dented in the metal wall. When Ye Fanxia saw Yan Luyi staring at it, he explained in a low voice that they were for transporting sedans up and down.
compartment.
Ye Fanxia hovered the tactical box outside and got out first. Yan Luyi and Guo Jiu followed him, and the three of them descended again through the tactical box. This time, the speed of descent was much faster than before, but even though
In this way, several minutes passed, and the descending process still did not stop.
Guo Jiu had already turned off the flashlight, and everything was pitch black. Yan Luyi lost her sense of distance. She stood on the hoverboard and felt motionless, but she knew that she was still falling. She even suspected that if she continued to fall like this, she would even
It can descend deeply into the heart of the earth.
The hoverboard swayed slightly and seemed to become unstable. Ye Fanxia whispered: "Be careful", and the landing speed suddenly increased.
In the end, Yan Luyi almost didn't fall to the ground. She heard Guo Jiu asking: "Are you okay, Fanxia?"
Ye Fanxia said: "It's not good. Due to electromagnetic interference, it is impossible to detect the surrounding conditions, and the situation we face may be very complicated."
It was completely dark, and she couldn't see her fingers. Yan Luyi didn't know which way to step for a moment, when she felt someone holding her hand.
From the soft touch of the fabric, Yan Luyi knew it was Guo Jiu. Both Guo Jiu and Ye Fanxia were used to wearing gloves, but Ye Fanxia's gloves were very special, with a slight metallic feel on the back of the hand, so he could tell them apart.
Guo Jiu pulled her out of the tactical box. Yan Luyi heard subtle sounds, the folding sound of the tactical box, and very light and distant footsteps.
Ye Fanxia was walking around, constantly moving.
Yan Luyi asked angrily: "What is he doing?"
Guo Jiudao: "Recover those malfunctioning electronic bees."
After a while, Ye Fanxia turned around and came back. Yan Luyi was led by Guo Jiu and began to walk forward. After zigzagging for a certain distance, Ye Fanxia softly exclaimed: "Oh!"
Guo Jiu turned on the flashlight light again.
After regaining his sight, Yan Luyi shuddered again.
This is a spacious hall, with a small landscape of a green leaf stream in the center, surrounded by several simple wooden leisure seats, and large blue-gray square tiles paving the floor.
There were many people lying scattered on the floor.
Yan Luyi's eyes lingered on these people for a while, and he realized that more precisely, many people were dead.
She was glad that she was wearing a mask and couldn't smell the smell in the air.
There were dark spots that looked like mold on the corpse, but there was no blood. There seemed to be no wounds on the corpse, so it was impossible to determine the cause of death at a glance. Guo Jiu took out a pair of gloves from the pocket of his windbreaker and handed them to Yan Luyi, then walked over.
, untied the clothes of a deceased person, conducted a brief inspection on him with careful movements, and said: "The time of death was about four hours ago."
Ye Fanxia asked: "Cause of death?"
Guo Jiu shook his head: "It's not clear yet."
The electric pattern on his glasses flashed, and he began to scan the body. Then he took out a scalpel and took some blood of the deceased. After scanning and examination, he even took off his mask, fanned it with his hand, and took a sniff.
Yan Luyi endured the discomfort and took two steps closer to take a look. There were no wounds on the body, and there were no bruises caused by being hit by blunt objects. Yan Luyi was confused and waited for Guo Jiu to express his conclusion, but Guo Jiu paused.
After the scan was over, his expression also became very surprised.
So Yan Luyi asked: "What's wrong?"
Guo Jiudao: "We still can't find out the cause of his death."
He stood up to check a corpse next to him, while Ye Fanxia restored the clothes of the deceased he had previously examined to their previous appearance. After he finished restoring, Guo Jiu inspected the two deceased people one after another and stood up again.
body.
Ye Fanxia looked at him with questioning eyes, and Guo Jiu shook his head.
In Yan Luyi's mind, although Guo Jiu is not a professional forensic doctor, he must be at the level of a big shot in this kind of matter. But now he has been struggling for a long time and can't figure out the cause of death. He can't help but feel even more strange, so he empties more than a dozen people in the hall.
After observing the corpses one by one, they found that there were no injuries on the body surface of the group, and their clothes were not damaged or messy, and there were no signs of fighting.
Several people had their gun cases pinned to their sides, and their pistols were still lying quietly inside.
Ye Fanxia thought for a while and said: "We will take the body back for inspection later depending on the situation. Let's hurry up and go to the restricted area."
He raised his legs and walked away, adding softly: "Something happened to the stronghold, and so many people died. Weiheng will never let it go. There will definitely be an investigation in the future. We must not leave any evidence that we have been here.
, such as fingerprints, clear and obvious footprints, and your own gun."
Yan Luyi was stunned: "Why can't you use your own gun?"
