Inside the small iron gate, there was darkness, surrounded by walls made of bricks and stones. The height was only one and a half meters and the width was about the same. As soon as Zheng Xiao entered, he smelled a strong musty smell. This musty smell should be
It's caused by the absence of sunlight for a long time and the humidity. The smell makes people feel like they can't breathe smoothly.
Zheng Xiao reached out to cover his nose, pulled out the gas mask from behind, and pressed it on his face. He was worried that if there had been no ventilation for a long time, some harmful gases would be produced.
With the protection of the gas mask, Zheng Xiao felt much more at ease, and he began to look at the surrounding situation.
Under the dim light of the flashlight, Zheng Xiao saw clearly that he seemed to be in a large chimney that had collapsed. His body was covered with bricks and stones, and in front of him was a passage with no end in sight. He didn't know where it led to.
where.
"I didn't expect that this clutter is inconspicuous on the outside, but it's quite big on the inside." Zheng Xiao muttered in his heart and walked forward with a flashlight. Since he had already come in, he naturally wanted to investigate.
See if this passage leads to the square warehouse.
The passage was not long. Zheng Xiao walked along the passage not far before reaching the end. There was another small door there, which was made of iron like the one outside.
Zheng Xiao took out the universal knife, then reached into the keyhole, started to turn it, and quickly opened the lock.
The small door inside had some rust due to the relatively dry environment, but it was not rusted to death, so Zheng Xiao pushed it open without much effort.
There was a creaking sound, and the sound of the small iron door being pushed open sounded a little loud in the silent warehouse. This made Zheng Xiao's heart skip a beat, worried about being discovered.
Fortunately, there was no one in the warehouse, and the walls and doors were well soundproofed, so no one outside heard it.
Getting out of it, Zheng Xiao gently closed the iron door, but left it unlocked, so that if someone came in, they wouldn't be able to find out the situation, and he could get in at any time.
After arranging his escape route, Zheng Xiao began to check the warehouse to see if he found anything.
When he was on the bell tower, Zheng Xiao felt that this bungalow was a bit strange, but he couldn't see anything unusual. This time he had the opportunity, so he naturally investigated it carefully.
The warehouse was very large and filled with all kinds of military supplies, but they were all canned beef and some food. There was nothing valuable. Zheng Xiao searched for a long time, but still found nothing.
This warehouse is very large, and it is divided into areas. There are areas dedicated to storing weapons and ammunition, as well as areas dedicated to storing military uniforms and uniforms. Of course, there are also areas to store various ancillary equipment for individual army soldiers... This area is
To store military supplies.
Among the many warehouses, there are many bungalows, so this bungalow is very inconspicuous and has nothing special about it. However, Zheng Xiao believes that this is an important place and there should be some very important "rat warehouse" hidden there.
After searching for a while, Zheng Xiao found nothing of value, and there was no trace of the rat barn hidden in the dark. This made him feel strange, "Weird, this is the best place to set up a rat barn."
Why is there no trace at all? Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?"
He immediately rejected his idea because he did not believe that there was something wrong with his judgment, and he must have not discovered it.
With his eyes wandering around the warehouse, Zheng Xiao began to carefully explore every inch of the warehouse, hoping to find something.
Finally, his eyes lit up and he noticed something unusual.
In this warehouse, there are two identical debris passages, and the two iron doors look exactly the same, and they are both so ordinary.
This was nothing at first, because Zheng Xiao had just emerged from one of them, but what made him feel strange was that the area of the warehouse was limited. One such passage was enough, why did he need two?
Because of such doubts, Zheng Xiao came to another iron door and began to observe carefully.
At this glance, he found some clues, that is, although there was rust on the edge of the iron door, the area in contact with the door frame was polished and shiny, and there was no rust stain at all.
It can be seen from these marks that this iron door should have been opened frequently. The more times it was rubbed, the more it would naturally have no rust stains and become very smooth.
"If there is the most questionable place in this room, then it is here." Zheng Xiao went back to get the universal knife, but heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside, which seemed to be heading here.
His arms froze, Zheng Xiao ducked to the window, looked out through the cracks in the wooden planks, and found a group of Japanese soldiers hurriedly approaching the warehouse.
What to do? Could it be that he has been discovered? Thoughts flashed through Zheng Xiao's head. He pulled out his pistol, screwed the silencer on the muzzle, and was ready to fight at any time.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and soon they arrived outside the bungalow, but they did not stop. Instead, they walked straight past and headed straight for the transport trucks that had been moved to one side of the yard.
Zheng Xiao waited until the footsteps left, then put the gun back into his waist and walked back to the iron door.
After opening the lock three times, Zheng Xiao quickly opened the iron door and looked inside. He saw that the inside was made of the same green bricks as the iron door just now, and then he got in.
The iron door was closed, and only the flashlight in Zheng Xiao's hand was left in the passage. He walked in with the flashlight, walked forward along the passage, and soon came to another iron door.
When he got here, Zheng Xiao calculated the distance and found that it was exactly the same as over there. The iron door in front of him was covered with rust and looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time. It didn't look like it was used often.
What on earth is going on? Zheng Xiao frowned and looked up and down the iron door for a long time, but couldn't find any clues.
Stopping, Zheng Xiao thought hard. He was thinking about the strangeness hidden in it: If this is just an ordinary debris road, then why are there signs of people coming and going frequently on one side?
Zheng Xiao didn't believe that the Japanese had nothing to do to relax in this cluttered road that had been abandoned for many years, not to mention not once or twice, but countless times, because only if the number of times was too many, would the edge of the iron gate be damaged.
It takes time to grind it so smoothly.
For more than five minutes, Zheng Xiao did not move. He was thinking about the crux of the problem.
He has now entered a dead end, and that iron door cannot be the exit. Since there cannot be an exit, then there must be an exit.
