C45

Directly in front of us was a wall!

The wall was made of concrete, almost four meters high, and it blocked all the cracks in the mountain ahead. The wall was made of concrete, almost four meters high, and it blocked all the cracks in the mountain ahead.

The three of us stood in front of the wall and looked at each other in disbelief. It was all so sudden, how could there be a concrete wall in the way for no reason at all?

Furthermore, I have a careful look at my surroundings. There isn't even a crack, which means that this is the final destination of the underground.

It's simply impossible. Could it be that the Sakyamuni Army back then used so much effort to come to the Wild Mountain in order to build a material warehouse under the Sky Cavern and then left?

And the Underground City of the White Kingdom?

Where is the Kobemaru I saw on the Fourth Uncle's computer?

Apparently there was nothing here but a concrete wall.

Duan Hui was obviously surprised, but he revealed a happy expression, he ran to the wall and clapped his hands a few times: "Haha, there's no way, since there's no way, then let's hurry up and go!"

Zhu Yingqiong and I ignored him and walked to the wall to try pushing it, but the wall did not budge an inch. Zhu Yingqiong said, "This is the concrete wall that the Japanese Army used to be used as a command room.

I widened my eyes. "That's impossible! How can we reach the end point underground?" There must be other ways, or what about the gunshots we heard? "

But Zhu Yingqiong said: "What I am worried about now is not the gunshots, but why did the Japanese build a concrete wall here? Could it be used to defend against the enemy that was attacking from the outside? But this is clearly stopping my path to death, sealing myself inside. "

Duan Hui knew that he had cut off our route and we would be returning soon, so he gloated: "Do you even need to think about it? Didn't you see the exit before? Now that there is another wall, the Japanese will seal themselves inside it and never come out. I think there is no need for us to waste anymore time, we need to hurry up and get out! "

I coldly looked at him and said, "Your legs are on your body. If you want to leave, leave by yourself. None of us will stop you!"

"Hey, what's with your attitude?" Duan Hui said in a flustered and exasperated tone, "What are the attitudes of your rescue team? I will definitely file a complaint against you when I go out. "

"Pah!"

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly walked over and slapped Duan Hui, and berated him: "I have endured you for long enough. We are not a rescue team, and even more so, we are not here to save you.

Duan Hui was slapped until he was covered, he covered his face and stared blankly for a long while, before turning his resentful gaze towards Zhu Yingqiong, but Zhu Yingqiong completely ignored him. Instead, he walked to the concrete wall, and started to carefully beat the wall with his fingers.

Duan Hui's cold eyes locked onto her body, but he did not utter a sound, and it was unknown what his heart was thinking about.

After a long while, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly exclaimed, her eyes staring at the concrete wall with a pale complexion, I anxiously asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Yingqiong looked at me and said, "Have you noticed that there's something wrong with this wall? It doesn't seem to be used to stop outsiders."

I was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant by that. I just looked at her in confusion.

She once again explained: "Maybe we guessed wrong earlier. Chen San, look carefully at what this is?"

She pointed to the lower right-hand corner, where a layer of dry earth was piled and mixed with gravel, but in the flash of a flashlight, I could see a lot of rusted tools, such as a forklift, heaped together at random.

This was the engineer shovel and many of the tools used to build the stone wall during the march. The wooden handle was long gone, leaving behind a pile of debris, but he could still make out the metal part.

Zhu Yingqiong used her foot to kick the stone wall, then asked me: "If you were a Japanese person, you would build a stone wall to block the people outside, and would never come out again in your entire life, would you be inside the wall or outside the wall?"

I opened my eyes wide, as if I didn't understand what she meant, but seeing how serious her expression was, I carefully analyzed her words. After that, my expression immediately changed, I hastily squatted down to look at the tools used to build the wall, then collapsed on the ground with an incredulous expression on my face.

Zhu Yingqiong meant that if the Japanese were to build this wall to prevent outsiders from entering, then the person who built the wall should be inside the wall, because there wouldn't be any gaps in the wall at all. After the Japanese were to finish building the wall, they would be inside the wall, which suited the idea of isolating themselves from the world.

But look at these tools, they show that when you build a wall, you are standing on the outside of the stone wall, so when that is done, you will be outside, and there is no way in. Then what is the purpose of building this wall?

The people were stuck outside, so this wall had no value. Why would the Japanese bother to build this wall?

But as far as I know, the Japanese Army back then was meticulous and extremely shrewd. It would absolutely not do such a useless work, and would definitely not waste any time or effort to build a useless stone wall here.

I carefully asked Zhu Yingqiong: "Are you saying that we reversed the situation before?"

Zhu Yingqiong nodded, "Other than this thought, I can't think of any other reason!"

My expression suddenly changed. "That's impossible, right?"

From our previous assumption, the Japanese disappeared mysteriously after entering the underground space. Later on, we entered the sky ditch and saw the most primitive exit, but it had already collapsed. We suspect that the Japanese intentionally blew up and blocked the intersection to prevent others from entering.

But if it was the reverse thinking, what if the reason why the Sakyamuni Army blew up the exit was not to prevent others from entering, but to prevent something from going out?

Add to that the fact that the stone wall was built by the people who built it from where we were standing, and from the way the tools were placed, it was possible that their purpose of building the wall was not to prevent others from entering, but more like to prevent something from coming out of the wall, which was why the stone wall was so seamless.

For example, Sakyamuni Army had carried the mysterious Sarcophagus into the ground in order to revive the people inside the Sarcophagus. However, they had then disappeared along with the British Army and Expeditionary Force, but from the looks of the situation, Sakyamuni Army had probably retreated together with them. Furthermore, they had intentionally constructed a stone wall to blow up the exit, so what exactly did they encounter underground, why did they do this?

If this was to prevent the thing below the ground from rushing out, then what was below the ground that could threaten a powerful army?

Had the British Maine Army and the Expeditionary Force withdrawn?

Where did the Sakyamuni Army that had already been withdrawn go?

Or perhaps this wall wasn't built by Japanese Army at all, and was mixed with other things?

The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. The Hollywood monster movies I had seen before were spreading like a tidal wave in my mind. Fuck, could there be some kind of monster behind this wall?

But when I think about it, I feel that it doesn't make sense. There are too many contradictions!

We heard gunfire earlier, which meant there was someone behind the stone wall, and it went in, and the road was blocked, so where did they go in, and the team from 1976 went in, and which way did they go in?

After I said what I thought, Zhu Yingqiong also frowned and did not understand. I anxiously went back to the fork in the road, where the dark river split into two, I saw the dark river flowing into the ground, and from below, I heard a loud sound of water falling, indicating that there was a lot of space beneath the dark river. Could it be that everyone else entered from the dark river?

It was normal for there to be a river flowing in the cave, but it was best not to follow the river in the cave that had Dark River s. This was because there was a river flowing in the cave, meaning that there was plenty of rain.

I remember watching a cave adventure movie based on the truth about exploring the end of a dark river. The rain had sealed off the back road, and everyone was being carried down to the bottom by the water, drowning where there was no breathing space.

If the other way is in the dark river, then we will still need to dive in. Not only is it very dangerous to do this, we don't have the equipment to dive into the water anyway, even if we manage to dive into the water successfully, we might not have the White Kingdom. The greatest possibility is that there is a dark underground crevice, and at that time, we won't even have a chance to come out alive.

Hence, basically no one would choose to follow the dark river into the underground space!

We returned to the stone wall. With a dark expression, I said, "Look, the gunshots we heard earlier must have been fired by Fourth Uncle and the rest. Other than the stone wall, there must be other entrances, we have to find them."

Duan Hui laughed coldly, his face gloomy. He sat by the side without saying a word, and then started to study the stone wall to see if there were any tunnels below.

We were only trying to console ourselves, but who would have thought that a few minutes later, Zhu Yingqiong would suddenly shout in joy: "Chen San, come over here!"

I took a mine light and walked over. Zhu Yingqiong was lying on the ground, carefully listening to the sounds on the ground. I asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Yingqiong said: "Listen to me, there's a sound coming from below!"

I started, then followed her example. I lay down on my stomach and listened to the ground, but I couldn't hear anything. Even though the surroundings were so quiet, I could hear my own heartbeat.

"What did you hear?"

I asked Zhu Yingqiong, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she pressed her ear to the ground, and then used her palm to smack the stone wall, making a loud sound. After that, I heard the sound of echoes scurrying around in my ears, but other than the echo that came from hitting the stone wall, there was actually another very faint sound.

Drip

The sound was very soft, but it was clearly the sound of dripping water!

Why was there the sound of dripping water from underground?

Generally speaking, the sound of water dripping is the sound of water falling from high altitudes hitting the ground. But this is under the ground, the ground we're lying on should be solid so there shouldn't be any sound of water dripping.

However, the sound of the dripping water gave off a feeling as if it had landed on an extremely spacious area!

My expression changed as I shouted, "There is still space underground!"

After saying that, I started to dig with my dagger. Zhu Yingqiong also joined in, after digging just ten centimeters deep, a clanging sound came out from the dagger, it was the sound of metal colliding. Our faces were overjoyed, and after digging all the soil around us, we immediately saw a gigantic metal pipe, using a dagger to knock on the ground, producing clanging sounds that came from far away in the dead silence of the underground.

F * ck, how could there be a pipe buried under a stone wall?

I was extremely puzzled, Zhu Yingqiong's face was filled with excitement, she anxiously stood up and was about to pick up the abandoned scimitar left behind by the Japanese, but the moment she stood up, a faint thumping sound came out from beneath her feet.

The sound was soft, but it was clear. I could hear it clearly as if I'd stepped on a mechanism spring or something.

"Don't move!"

I roared and grabbed onto Zhu Yingqiong's right foot. Zhu Yingqiong was startled by my shout and stood blankly on the spot without moving. However, her face had also changed and she was looking at me with suspicion.

I took a deep breath and made a gesture for her to not move. Then, with a slight movement, I removed a layer of dirt from her shoes, revealing half a fist sized metal shell covered with mud and some letters. Zhu Yingqiong's foot was already stepping on top of the metal shell, and she could see that the upper layer of the metal shell had already been stepped on for around half a centimeter.

Damn, that was a mine!
