Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 325: Lonely Xin Zhao
Wu Mian said this sentence for a long time, but no one answered. However, taking advantage of this moment, Xin Zhao took a few steps to the white-haired man's side. With a crying voice, he said, "Master Wu... where is this? Can we still go up?"
Wu Mian smiled mockingly at the air as if he didn't hear him. Then he turned around in place, and took a leisurely look at the environment here. This is a place that looks like an underground cave. If you didn't experience it yourself, no one would have thought that there would be such a place in the desert.
It can be seen that this place was originally filled with water, and there are puddles in the potholes everywhere. The walls were wet and dazzling, reflected by the fireball beside Xin Zhao. Only at this time did Xin Zhao realize that the walls here had been milled into a luster like jade, but at this time, Xin Zhao had no intention of appreciating this spectacle at all, he just wanted to hurry back to the top. Then he tried to find a way to return to the grassland, where he really didn't want to stay any longer.
Just as Xin Zhao was about to open his mouth to plead with Wu Mian, there was a sudden noise from the position behind him. Frightened, Xin Zhao hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a gap in the wall dozens of feet behind him that could accommodate one person.
After seeing the gap, Wu Mian laughed mockingly. He ignored Xin Zhao and walked slowly towards the gap. Xin Zhao knew he couldn't persuade the white-haired man. After hesitating for a while, he still followed behind Wu Mian, carefully following the white-haired man.
Wu Mian walked to the gap, suddenly smiled helplessly, and said two words to himself: "Stingy..."
While speaking, the white-haired man had reached out and grabbed the edge of the left gap. Xin Zhao didn't understand what he meant when he saw him stuck at the door, unable to enter or retreat. At the moment, I didn't dare to step forward to urge him. I wished that Wu Mian wouldn't go in. It would be better to take him back to the grassland.
"Since you're inviting me in, you have to open the door wider..." After speaking, Wu Mian chuckled lightly, and then pushed the half wall on the left hand as if he were pulling a door. Then, with a loud noise of "Boom!", half of the wall he pushed collapsed, and half of the wall instantly turned into a broken stone and scattered on the ground.
Half of the wall was pulled down by Wu Mian as if it had been destroyed, revealing a corridor-like location inside. Although Zhao Xin had some preparations after several near misses, he was still taken aback by this behavior without any warning. He stepped back in a conditioned reflex, and with his footing unsteady, he fell into a puddle of about two or three feet beside him.
What Xin Zhao didn't expect was the bottomless puddle he fell into. If he hadn't stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone around him in a panic, he might have drowned in the puddle.
"I said why I was in such a hurry to open the door, it turns out that the mechanism is here." After Wu Mian turned around and saw the puddle where he was in a hurry, he smiled strangely, ignoring the corridor that appeared behind the gap. He turned around and walked to Xin Zhao's side, he didn't mean to rescue the person who was still in the puddle, he just looked at the puddle and continued: "It's all calculated here, so you guys have done it a long time ago. Get ready, huh..."
Seeing that the white-haired man didn't mean to drag him out, Xin Zhao could only say to Wu Mian: "Master Wu, give me a hand.... Pull me up."
Wu Mian still didn't extend his hand, he said to Xin Zhao with a strange expression: "Drag you up? It's so troublesome to go back and forth..."
"Back and forth? What... what do you mean?" Xin Zhao heard something in the words of the white-haired man, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. Just as he uttered the last word, a powerful suction suddenly appeared under the puddle he was in, instantly pulling him down together with the water in the puddle.
Xin Zhao didn't even shout this time, and disappeared into the waterless puddle. At that time, his head didn't know what he hit, and he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him.
When he opened his eyes again, Xin Zhao found himself on a wet ground. The fireball that had surrounded Zai Zai had disappeared, and Xin Zhao's body seemed to fall apart at this time. He got up from the ground in a daze, and it was pitch black and couldn't see anything.
"Master Wu...Is your old man here? Say something..." No one answered after calling him a few times. At this moment, Xin Zhao couldn't be more terrified in this dark environment. He groped forward while shouting, and if it weren't for the pain in his body, Xin Zhao would have thought he was dead and now in the underworld.
Xin Zhao himself can't remember how many times he called Wu Mian in total, from Mr. Wu to calling him Wu Mian by his first name, and from Wu Mian to white-haired. However, I never heard Wu Mian's response. In the end, Xin Zhao himself gave up, and the white-haired man who had no good death left himself here...
In the dark environment, I don't know how much time I have been groping. Just when Xin Zhao himself had no confidence and thought he was going to die here, he suddenly seemed to touch something in his hand. What he touched seemed to be a wall, different from the wall that had been polished with water. The positions Xin Zhao touched were all edgy and angular, and they felt different from the above.
Xin Zhao is a wise man by nature. Now that he touches the wall, it's easy to do it. The water just now was sucked away in an instant. It means that there must be a waterway here. As long as the waterway is found, he can use the waterway to escape from here.
At this moment, Xin Zhao began to fumble along the wall. The time could not be seen in the darkness, and I didn't know how long he had been walking. Suddenly, the sound of water flow was faintly heard. After hearing this voice, Xin Zhao gained confidence and continued to walk in this direction towards the position of the water stream.
The more you walk, the louder the sound of the water flow. At this moment, Zhao Ji's hand touched a metal object. After fumbling for a long time, he found that he was holding a vessel similar to a lamp socket. There is still a thick layer of oil wax and wick inside, but there is nothing on him to make a fire, and it is impossible to light a fire by lighting a lamp. He touched several such lamp sockets one after another, but unfortunately he couldn't get the fire, it was just a decoration.
While the sound of the water grew louder as he continued, the walls that Xin Zhao's hands touched began to become smooth and even drier. This is completely another place, Xin Zhao began to wonder in his heart, was he transferred to another place by the white-haired man when he just fainted? If it was still where it was drawn down by the water flow, how could it be so dry here?
As he continued to **** his way forward, Xin Zhao actually found a small greased paper bag behind a lamp socket. After opening it, it turned out to be a scythe and tinder for making fire. At the moment, Zhao Xin was happier than getting a piece of gold ingot. He shivered and lit the tinder, leading the fire to the lamp socket.
With the light, Xin Zhao's courage has also grown considerably. He buckled the lamp socket from the wall, just as he was about to take advantage of the light to see where he was. As soon as he turned around, he saw a vague figure less than two feet behind him.
Suddenly startled, Xin Zhao accidentally dropped the lamp holder to the ground. Fortunately, the flames above only flickered and did not go out.
If it weren't for the black figure from top to bottom, Xin Zhao himself would have thought that Wu Mian, the white-haired man, was always behind him. The figure was covered in mist, and apart from being able to tell that it was a man, Xin Zhao couldn't see what he looked like.
Seeing Xin Zhao's panicked look, the figure sneered and said, "Where's the white-haired man? Where did he go?"
"I...I don't know..." Xin Zhao said as he stepped back: "I was washed down by the water, where is that person? I'm looking for him..."
