Chapter 667: underground space
A door appeared at the end of the stairs.
It was only when I got closer that I discovered that the door was painted.
The sound is dull when struck, and it is obviously solid.
Changfu was so angry that he couldn't help but kicked him.
“What the **** are you doing!”
"calm."
Shen Yunqing patted him on the shoulder and shined the flashlight on other places.
The stairs cannot exist for no reason. There must be a door leading to the destination.
The owner knows that they have to look for it.
Changfu took a deep breath to calm down, squatted down and touched every inch of his feet.
He had to find this door this time!
But there was still solid dirt under his feet. Not to mention the traces of a door, his hands were all black when he touched it, and he couldn't even touch a crack.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up, "Boss, there is nothing under my feet."
"Don't worry." Shen Yunqing felt the growing anxiety spreading beside him, "The more mysterious you are, the more important the things inside may be."
“Besides, I won’t be able to get out for a while, so how much time have we spent?”
Shen Yunqing never thought about the possibility of Wujue falling into the trap set by Wuhua before his death and being seriously injured or even killed.
That person is not that weak.
It could only be that he was really stumbled by something.
Changfu thought the same thing, and his anxiety suddenly eased a lot.
The two of them are still looking for the door. Outside, Jiang Lingxi is looking at the screen on the tablet that freezes from time to time, and is also carefully looking for clues where the flashlight shines.
The search lasted almost ten minutes. Jiang Lingxi closed her eyes. Not to mention Changfu, her patience was running low now.
“Try the stairs.”
Jiang Lingxi turned to look at Yin Chong, who was standing there quietly a few steps away.
It soon became clear what he meant.
“You guys go back to the stairs and check the walls on both sides of the corridor.”
Watching Shen Yunqing and Chang Fu do as they were told, Jiang Lingxi looked at Yin Chong again.
She was quite surprised that this person would take the initiative to remind her.
Yin Chong laughed bitterly when he saw her, "Wuhua is also very mysterious in my heart. I also want to see what she hides."
There was an intermittent tapping sound coming from the flat-panel speaker.
Not only the two people who were knocking on the left and right were listening, but everyone who stayed outside was also paying attention to help listen.
Dull, dull, still dull…
"etc!"
As soon as Jiang Lingxi finished speaking, Shen Yunqing stopped knocking on the wall.
“Dong dong!”
Changfu turned around and looked over, his eyes bright, "It's a cavity!"
After groping for a while along the area where the cavity could be heard, and wiping away the dust on the surface, a hidden door finally appeared in front of me.
“Looking at it this way, it seems that Master and Changying did not enter from this way.”
Shen Yunqing and Jiang Lingxi spoke almost at the same time: "Open it first."
No matter where you entered from, this door is so hidden, there must be something inside.
However, this door had neither a keyhole nor a mechanism. After estimating the thickness of the door, Chang Fu simply hit it with his elbow. A hole was immediately blasted out of the wooden door, and then it fell down tremblingly.
A gust of damp and cool wind suddenly blew through the empty doorway, causing the two people standing in front of the door to squint their eyes.
Changfu sniffed and said, "It doesn't stink at all, and it has a bit of fragrance."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wet wipe was stuck on his face. The smell of disinfectant alcohol on the wet wipe entered through his nose and went straight to his forehead.
Changfu's face turned pale when he reacted, "Thank you, boss." In this damp underground place that never sees the light of day, the smell usually smells rotten, so how could there be a fragrance!
He didn't realize for a moment that there might be something wrong with the fragrance.
“Be careful, or go back.”
Changfu nodded quickly.
“Boss, let me go in and take a look first.”
Speaking, he first looked around inside the door, and then slowly put one foot in.
Shen Yunqing saw that he was overly cautious again and said nothing. This was better than being so reckless before.
The two of them entered the hidden door in the middle of the stairs and saw another staircase going down.
Changfu was speechless, "There shouldn't be stairs everywhere down here. What on earth is Wuhua hiding inside?"
Jiang Lingxi watched the two of them go down the stairs holding their noses, and was about to ask what they smelled, when the screen flashed twice and then suddenly went black.
No signal!
This also means that they have entered the real door.
As the stairs spiraled down, Shen Yunqing heard no more sounds from the ground, and knew that there was no signal where they were now.
He had a hunch that Wujue and Changying were below.
As I walked down the last flight of stairs, I heard a gasp from in front of me.
"boss…"
Changfu didn’t know how to describe it for a while.
When he came down, he guessed that there might be a trap with a closed mechanism underneath. Master and Changying might have accidentally fallen into the trap and were trapped.
But I never expected to see a row of coffins underground.
“This, this, this…hiding dead people under the house, what kind of habit is this?”
“Not necessarily a dead person.”
Shen Yunqing listened carefully. In addition to the faint sound of wind, there was also the sound of slowly dripping water in this underground space, as well as the sound of very gentle breathing.
As he spoke, he walked towards the nearest coffin to see if he heard correctly.
Chang Fu rubbed his arms that were already covered in goosebumps and moved on his toes.
As I got closer, I realized that the coffin was not covered.
Lying inside was a little girl who looked to be about ten years old, with her hands folded on her abdomen, her face rosy and shiny, and her chest was rising and falling slightly if you looked closely.
Changfu stretched out a finger and carefully brought it to her nose, "It's really alive!"
There were six coffins in total, and four of them had people inside. They were about the same age as the first one, three women and one man. The people inside didn't look like they were sleeping, but rather in hibernation.
Every one of them was confirmed to be alive and well. Chang Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the vital signs are still stable."
No one thought that there would be someone else hiding in a place like this. It would have been hard to tell if they had found him a few days later.
Turning around, he saw his boss standing between the two empty coffins without moving, "Boss?"
Shen Yunqing: "These two empty coffins should have been occupied before."
Chang Fu felt that the hairs on his body that had just been lying down suddenly stood up again. "Is it possible that Master and Chang Ying went after the other two?"
“Let’s walk further inside.”
Shen Yunqing pointed to the front of the black cave with his flashlight. The underground space was much larger than the wooden house above. When the flashlight shined through, he could see some twists and turns of the cave.
“Be careful of the water on the ground.”
“Oh oh oh.”
He said to be careful, but the soles of his feet were covered with moss. Changfu didn't notice for a moment, and he fell down and squatted down after taking a few steps. The hand without the flashlight supported the ground and was about to stand up when his movements suddenly froze.
I don’t know where I pressed it, but the screen turned on for a moment and then turned off.
“Did you touch something?”
Changfu didn’t even bother to stand up for a moment. He picked up the thing under his hand first and said, “It’s Changying’s cell phone. It seems to have crashed after being soaked in water.”
