The man told us that in the Sirius Kingdom, slaves had to do a lot of work, and the plank road on the cliff was built by the slaves. The plank road was completely carved out of the hard stone wall manually.
It circled the underground Yin Lake in a complete circle, and the total length is said to be more than a hundred miles. The plank road has been built for hundreds of years, and countless slaves died of exhaustion in order to build that plank road.
In order to replenish the number of slaves, the Sirius Kingdom continued to kidnap people from outside, and on the other hand, it allowed slaves to have relationships with slaves and give birth to offspring, and their offspring were still slaves of the Sirius Kingdom.
Slaves are imprisoned in the dungeons of the Sirius Kingdom, where there is no daylight and no freedom at all. The slaves live a life worse than death. However, for thousands of years, the slaves have always had a belief, that is, to start from
Escape from here! See the sunshine again, even in
The native slaves here also inherited this belief from their ancestors. When their ancestors were building the cliff plank road, they secretly set up secret doors in order to have a temporary escape from the Sirius Kingdom one day.
A place to stay undiscovered.
And these people we meet now are the ones who took the opportunity to escape when they were working on a job several years ago. They have agency maps secretly passed down by the older generation of slaves, and they know where to hide.
place, when they were being chased by soldiers from the Sirius Kingdom, they hid here. They originally thought they would just stay here for a while, and then find a chance to escape to the ground after they had escaped the limelight.
to go, but what they didn’t expect was that the road going out was full of man-eating monitor lizards and giant rats. There was no way to escape from here, so they stayed here for several years. It took them seven years to escape.
There were eighty people, but now, due to disease and starvation, there are only thirteen people left. Fortunately, they learned how to hunt and survived until now by preying on giant rats and even monitor lizards.
After hearing what the man said, all of us were so shocked that we couldn't speak for a long time. All this is simply a fantasy. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it at all.
After a while, everyone slowly came to their senses. Wen Qingshan asked the person who just spoke: "Brother, your accent sounds like you are from Hunan?"
The man nodded: "I am from Xiangsha City, Hunan Province. Many years ago, I followed a few friends to explore Lop Nur. Unexpectedly, I encountered an accident and was abducted by a flying bat monster to this ghost place."
When I heard that the man was from Xiangsha City, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. I really didn't expect that I would meet a fellow villager in a place like this. Wen Qingshan seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly: "What's your name?"
"
The man was stunned for a moment, then replied: "My name is Xie Yunfei..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qingshan shouted excitedly: "Brother Yunfei! It's really you! I am Wen Qingshan!"
I couldn't help but be even more surprised. I didn't expect Wen Qingshan to know this person!
However, Xie Yunfei kept mumbling Wen Qingshan's name, but he didn't seem to remember who he was.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "Brother Yunfei, you have forgotten that we traveled to western Sichuan together, and also went to the northeast together, and lived and died together many times."
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, Xie Yunfei finally had some impressions.
"You...you are Brother Wen San!?"
Wen Qingshan walked forward quickly and hugged Xie Yunfei tightly: "Brother Yunfei, I didn't expect you to be alive! And you suffered such a heinous crime."
Xie Yunfei had stayed in this ghost place for decades, and he probably never expected to see his old friend again. He was so excited that he burst into tears.
The rest of us were shocked and stood aside for a while not knowing what to say. After a while, Xie Yunfei's mood stabilized a little. The old ghost said from the side: "After doing this for a long time, you are still acquaintances!
"
Wen Qingshan nodded excitedly and said: "Yunfei is my brother. More than 20 years ago, brother Yunfei went to Lop Nur with some friends on the road to explore for treasures, but unexpectedly he disappeared. I always thought he was gone.
In this world, I didn’t expect to meet you today.”
Since there was no way to see the sunrise or sunset in this dark place, he had no idea how much time had passed. When Xie Yunfei heard that he disappeared more than 20 years ago, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I was already here."
I have been in this ghost place for more than twenty years!"
He suddenly thought of something again and hurriedly asked Wen Qingshan: "Brother Wen, are my parents still alive?"
Wen Qingshan shook his head and said: "The two elders passed away one after another a few years ago."
When Xie Yunfei heard this, he burst into tears again.
Wen Qingshan patted him on the back a few times and comforted him: "No matter what, brother, you just need to be alive! Your father kept talking about you before he died, saying that you must not be dead yet, and he also told me to find him.
You, I didn’t expect that you are really still alive. When I get back, I will take you to burn incense sticks on his grave to comfort his spirit in heaven.”
Xie Yunfei raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly said angrily: "It's those demons who have ruined my life, and I will never let them go!" After saying this, he suddenly raised his head and asked Wen Qingshan
Said: "Brother Wen, as far as I know, those demons are most likely carrying out a huge conspiracy. You must stop them! You can't let them harm others again."
When Long Yi heard this, he quickly asked: "What conspiracy are they carrying out?"
Xie Yunfei replied: "I don't know the specific conspiracy. I only know that they are carrying out a secret project. By the way, Old Wutou knows this better than me. Because before I was caught here, they had already
We're getting ready." As he said this, he dragged someone out from the crowd behind him.
The man seemed a little afraid of us, his body was trembling slightly, and he did not speak. Xie Yunfei said to him: "Don't be afraid, Old Wutou, they are here to rescue us, and maybe they can not only rescue us, but also
We can also rescue all your relatives."
"Relatives? His relatives were also kidnapped and brought here?" Wen Qingshan was very surprised.
Xie Yunfei said: "No! Strictly speaking, his ancestors were kidnapped here!"
Hearing what he said, Wen Qingshan immediately understood: "In other words, he was born here?"
Xie Yunfei nodded and said: "Old Wutou's ancestors were kidnapped here a long time ago. His family has a high status in the slave camp. We were able to find this hiding place thanks to his
A map secretly left behind by our ancestors."
After listening to what Xie Yunfei said, Long Yi hurriedly said to Lao Wutou: "Then please tell us all what you know."
After hesitating for a while, Old Wutou finally plucked up the courage to speak. What I didn't expect was that even though he was born here, his tone and speed of speech were no different from ordinary people. It turns out that although they
They have been locked up in this dark place all year round, but because a large group of slaves are kept together and can communicate with each other, they have not forgotten how to speak.
Old Wutou told us that as long as he could remember, the evil spirits of the Sirius Kingdom had been driving slaves to build a secret project. As a slave, no one had a complete understanding of the secret project, and only in this dark underground world
Only slaves born as slaves are eligible to participate in this secret project. Old Wutou once stayed there.
For a while, in his mind, it was a project that was even more difficult and dangerous than building a plank road on a cliff. More than half of the companions who went with him died unexpectedly. Fortunately, a section of the cliff plank road collapsed later.
Because he has rich experience, he was transferred to be responsible for the restoration of this section of the plank road, so he had a chance to escape.
As for the purpose of building that secret project, Old Wutou was not sure. In his opinion, it seemed to be digging a secret passage deep underground, but no one knew where this passage led.
Where, let alone why such a tunnel was dug.
After listening to Old Wutou's story, Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "The depths of the underground are where hell is. Could it be that they want to dig a passage to hell and release all the demons in hell!"
?”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Damn it, if this is really the case, it would be a really big deal. We must stop those guys!"
Long Yi turned around and asked Old Wutou: "Approximately how many people are there in total?"
"I don't know exactly how many people there are, but I guess there are tens of thousands of wolf soldiers at least."
"What! Tens of thousands!?" Long Yi shouted in shock, and all of us took a breath of air.
Old Wutou nodded and continued: "In addition, there are countless flying bat monsters and many ghost-headed bears."
"Ghost-headed bear?" I was slightly startled and quickly asked, "What is a ghost-headed bear?"
"The ghost-headed bear is a ferocious-looking strange bear. In fact, I think its head looks a bit like a dog, but its body is very large, so we call it the ghost-headed bear. The fur of this monster is very thick, even with
Even a sharp ax can't hurt it. When we escaped that day, many people were killed by this monster..." Having said this, Old Wutou choked up sadly.
Xie Yunfei, who was on the side, patted him on the back a few times to express comfort, and explained to us: "Several of Lao Wutou's brothers were killed by the ghost-headed bear. That monster is really difficult to deal with.
.”
Chen Biao hummed: "Huh! No matter how thick its fur is, I don't believe it can withstand armor-piercing alloy bullets!"
Long Yi sighed and said: "However, there are tens of thousands of evil spirits, and there are only a few of us. Even if we shoot out all the bullets, we probably won't be able to kill them all."
