After listening to the inner wall of the ice ball for a moment, Bai Ling hesitated and asked Lin Cheng.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng, who had just swallowed the healing potion, frowned and thought for a moment. He felt that the broken sternum in his chest was not as painful as before, so he nodded. With a thought, he saw that this person protected them from the big explosion and survived safely.
The ice ball disappeared instantly, and everyone reappeared in the channel.
However, the cement passage at this time is no longer what it was before. The surrounding walls, ceiling and even the floor have been blown beyond recognition in the big explosion just now. There are rubbles everywhere, and the beams on the ceiling that were originally hidden in the cement.
At this time, several truncated beams were exposed, and various twisted and broken steel bars were scattered around the passage. If you are not careful, you will be scratched.
The passage not far away also collapsed in the big explosion just now. The entrance of the passage was tightly blocked by a pile of broken steel and concrete. At first glance, it looked like the ruins they encountered when they escaped.
As for the mutated giant rat army, I don’t know if they were completely frightened back or something else. Apart from the corpses scattered everywhere in the passage, there was not even a single living one to be seen. Lin Cheng guessed that these rat armies were either afraid of what they had just done.
The big explosion had already retreated at this time, or it was blocked outside the pile of ruins and unable to get in.
But no matter what, although this passage is almost crumbling under the combined bombardment of mini rockets and C-type grenades, and it looks like there are signs of collapse at any time, these are nothing compared to the threat of the rat swarm, and
Without the threat of rats, Lin Cheng and the others were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground in unison, breathing heavily.
"Are you okay?"
Because the battle was too fierce just now, although Bai Ling also saw Lin Cheng fighting the mutant giant rat, she really couldn't spare a hand to help at that time. Now that the threat of the giant rat was finally gone, she hurriedly asked Lin Cheng.
Cheng asked.
"It's nothing serious."
Waving his hand, Lin Cheng touched his chest and felt that the condition of the sternum was a bit unsatisfactory, but the situation was still unclear, so he could only reply pretending not to care.
"……All right."
Seeing that Lin Cheng didn't want to say more, Bai Ling stopped asking any more questions. Although she knew very well that the injury suffered by Lin Cheng when he flew backwards just now was definitely not minor, but since he could still move, it meant that there was no serious injury for the time being.
No, she was going to wait until she left here to find a way to check his wounds.
"Those giant rats... are they dead?"
Peter couldn't understand Chinese and didn't know what the two were talking about. Moreover, because he had closed his eyes to recover from his injuries, he didn't see the scene where Lin Cheng was shot away, so he didn't know that Lin Cheng was injured now.
"I don't know, but I think I won't encounter them again for the time being."
He shook his head slightly. Although he wanted to find the giant rat that injured him and kill him, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to care about these things. The big explosion just now was too violent. He didn't know anything other than the ruins in front of him.
In addition, there are many ruins similar to here in the passage outside. According to their current situation, even if they don't encounter a group of rats, it will not be easy to leave.
But sitting still and waiting has never been Lin Cheng's character. Thinking of his experience after entering this passage, he finally realized how impulsive his previous decision was. Although most of these giant rats were existences that they could easily destroy.
, but the giant rat that seriously injured him with one blow just now made him realize that the reason why this city was ruled by giant rats was not without reason.
Lin Cheng sighed and stood up after almost resting. He was about to step forward and open up the ruins in front to see the situation in the passage behind. But when he accidentally turned his head and glanced, he was suddenly stunned!
It turned out that the ruins that blocked their escape in the first place had been blown open. Through this opening, he discovered that there was a circular metal door that looked very new behind the ruins. It was just this.
The metal door looked a little crooked. When he stepped forward and took a closer look, he discovered that for some reason, the wall where the metal round door was embedded had countless huge cracks on it, and the entire wall looked shaky.
posture.
Bai Ling and Peter also noticed the strangeness in Lin Cheng's eyes at this moment. When they followed his eyes and looked behind them, they were both stunned.
"What's this?"
Who would have thought that behind the ruins of an abandoned ore base so deep underground, there would be such a brand new metal door that looked like it had just been baked. Just as Bai Ling was about to ask a question, Peter couldn't help but ask first.
It was a pity that no one could answer his question. After seeing the metal gate, Lin Cheng was not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, the ruins in the passage behind him could not be cleared away in a short time. However, the appearance of this metal gate made him
Sensing something unusual, I crawled through the hole created by the explosion under the ruins, ready to see what this metal door was for.
Seeing that Lin Cheng seemed to be interested in this metal door, Peter and Bai Ling looked at each other, sighed in unison, and then like him, got through the hole and entered the small space behind the ruins.
Standing in front of the metal door, Lin Cheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down carefully for a long time. He found that except for a round keyhole in the middle, there was nothing else on the entire door, not even a word.
.
He stretched out his index finger and poked the keyhole gently. Along with the sound of ice crystals condensing, a stream of liquid frost penetrated along the keyhole. He closed his eyes and felt the situation inside the door lock. Lin Cheng adjusted his hands from time to time.
The action, the way the lock is opened looks so professional.
"Snapped--!"
But who would have expected that Lin Cheng, who had been trying for a long time, just when he felt that he was ready and tried to turn the ice crystal key to open the lock, suddenly felt a light touch on his hand. He quickly lowered his head and saw that the ice crystal key had broken into the lock.
Core!
"this……"
Seeing that the key he had condensed after trying for a long time actually broke, Lin Cheng was a little surprised for a moment. Considering that the hardness of the ice crystals he had condensed was not much weaker than ordinary iron keys, even if it broke, it could only mean that this
The lock cylinder inside the metal door that looks quite new should actually be rotten long ago, otherwise the key would be broken without any reason.
"Why don't we try from here?"
Seeing that the ice crystal key in Lin Cheng's hand was broken, Bai Ling raised his head and looked around. When he saw the cracks on the wall next to the metal gate, he reached out and suggested to Lin Cheng. (To be continued)
