Chapter 277: The Year of Ren Yin

The tunnel leads straight down, and there is no turning this time, I successfully climbed into a deeper place underground.&1t;/p>

At the end is a natural cave with many boxes, hangers and iron chains.&1t;/p>

These tools appear in the cave, which means that this natural cave has been seen by people, and they want to transport something out from it. I think the most likely one is the Source Stone.&1t;/p>

There is an artificially dug iron door in the southeast corner of the hole. The door panel is closed, which is the main door for transportation. I jumped out of the hole and found that all the boxes were empty, with thick dust on it. The abandonment time should be similar to the prison on the upper floor.&1t;/p>

There are holes everywhere on the wall of the cave. I found some slags of the source stone in one hole. It seems that this is the place where the islanders mine the source stone, but unfortunately the source stone has been emptied.&1t;/p>

I walked to the iron door, and fortunately the door could be opened inside. I held the small wheel on the door and turned to one side. The metal lock and door panel that had not been moved for decades were rusted.&1t;/p>

It took me a little time to open the door. Outside the door was a hundred meters long passage, and at the other end was a house similar to a storage room. Dozens of decaying wooden coffins were listed beside the walls on both sides.&1t;/p>

Obviously some people once regarded the mine cave as a tomb chamber, and the island people moved these coffins before mining.&1t;/p>

While I was thinking, I walked to the wooden coffin. After checking, I found that it was empty inside. I guess the islander had transferred the body.&1t;/p>

Sometimes meteorites fall into the atmosphere and will decompose into fragments of varying sizes and then fall in different areas, so the storage amount of each source stone ore is different.&1t;/p>

If the source stone that landed here was only a very small piece, the islanders might have already taken them to light, and I will not see them if I continue to search.&1t;/p>

However, after I entered the transportation channel, the more places I walked, the more familiar I felt. The structure of this place seemed to be exactly the same as the one marked on Xun Bishan's map.&1t;/p>

However, the dangerous areas marked on the map did not match any of them. I checked several places in succession, and finally concluded that when the islanders moved in, all obstacles and dangers were cleared.&1t;/p>

Some places were permanently infused and sealed, and some were cleared. There is no doubt that the islanders found this decades earlier than us, and drew the source stones, and then established a base for cultivating monsters.&1t;/p>

The passage leading to the upper floor was isolated by the thick gates. Gu Yu and the others seemed to have not arrived yet, because the ground had no footprints of other people's activities except me.&1t;/p>

It seems that the two-headed girl is telling the truth. The people from the New Human Alliance have not checked this. If they have checked it, they will definitely go down the hole in the ground.&1t;/p>

I just don’t know if the island people solved the problem with the 'disappearance' that Xun Bishan said. There was another gate at the end of the passage. I found the gate switch and opened the gate. There was still a passage behind the door, but there were many white bones inside.&1t;/p>

The dead body was not transported away, which means that there was an accident when it was closed. It was very likely that the situation in the upper prison was similar. I checked the guns around the corpse, and all the bullets inside were fired.&1t;/p>

Things that can make people shoot are definitely not "disappearing". Perhaps the phenomenon of disappearance is related to the source stone. Once the source stone is completely harvested, this phenomenon will disappear.&1t;/p>

Xun Bishan may not have expected that someone could enter the desperate situation in her family's eyes. We were destined to be in vain. Qin Dong was determined and could not get any benefits.&1t;/p>

But when I crossed an extremely thick gate, what appeared in front of me was not the exit I thought, but another artificial passage. However, the style of this passage was very different from the architectural style of the island people. The walls were cast with solid metal, and there were convex three-dimensional images on them. The shapes were very strange. The animals did not look like animals, and people did not look like humans.&1t;/p>

I have been able to confirm that the islanders set up prisons for research. They will definitely not spend their energy and resources to create such artistic channels. And I have found that the corrosion level of metal here is far less serious than that of the island countries' research bases. Both sides of the gate seem to be in different eras and time and space, separated by a heavy time and space gate.&1t;/p>

The passage is about four meters wide and two meters high. The strange shapes protruding above give people the feeling that they will pounce on at any time. It is depressing and weird. I feel like I have entered an alien space.&1t;/p>

At this time, I remembered Nini's warning, so I took a few steps and then retreated to the gate. Although the dangers marked on the map were gone, this passage was not recorded on the map, which indicates that there might be a fatal threat predicted by Nini.&1t;/p>

I was thinking about whether to withdraw back to the mine and wait for Gu Yu first. Suddenly, I heard footsteps sounding diagonally.&1t;/p>

I released the spiritual tentacles, and the exploration results showed that nine people were approaching in this direction, and they were only twenty meters away from me at most.&1t;/p>

There are only my own footprints on the ground, and there are traces of me holding the switch on the gate. No matter what, I can't hide. The visitor knew that someone had just arrived just now, and it would be useless to hide now. I simply stood outside the gate and prepared to meet someone in front. Maybe it was Gu Yu and the others.&1t;/p>

As a result, I saw my own face first. When the other party saw me, I was stunned. But I immediately reacted and shouted to her: "Qin Dong!"&1t;/p>

"Who are you?"&1t;/p>

"Funny, you don't know who you cos?"&1t;/p>

"I am Sang Rou, who are you?" asked the liar who was too immersed in the role again.&1t;/p>

"Okay, I don't have time to argue with you, you-" I was about to tell him to stop pretending, but the few people who came out of the darkness behind him were all innocent faces, neither Gu Yu nor Qin Dong's subordinates.&1t;/p>

Of course, I can't know all Qin Dong's subordinates, but the dress of these people made me feel like I was going to the wrong crew.&1t;/p>

These eight people were wearing old-style short-button shirts and cloth shoes. Their head was only half shaved, and a long braid drooped from the back of their heads. They draped around their necks for a few times, holding a torch in one hand and a steel knife in the other.&1t;/p>

Sang Rou in front of me was wearing a khaki shirt and breeches and boots. Her outfit was completely different from what Qin Dong wore when he left.&1t;/p>

However, it is impossible to rule out that he had changed his clothes halfway, but the few people behind her were really weird.&1t;/p>

"Miss Sang, this..." The middle-aged man with two beards came to "Sang Rou" and looked at me in surprise, then looked at Sang Rou beside him.&1t;/p>

The other seven people were also surprised and raised the steel knife in their hands, all of which seemed to be a ghost.&1t;/p>

"Who are you?" Sang Rou, who was opposite me, frowned and asked.&1t;/p>

I suddenly felt that I could not tell the truth to them, so I replied: "My name is Lei Feng."&1t;/p>

"Who is Qin Dong?" She still asked.&1t;/p>

"My opponent."&1t;/p>

"Do you think he is pretending to be you?"&1t;/p>

"Hmm."&1t;/p>

"Why are you here?"&1t;/p>

"Before asking someone else's questions, should you report yourself? It's fair to keep answering your questions."&1t;/p>

"My name is Sangrou. My father is a geologist. He came here to find gold mines and then disappeared. I brought people to find my father and found it according to his route."&1t;/p>

"Geologists, look for gold mines?" It is not surprising that there are surviving geologists in the apocalypse, nor is it surprising that they look for gold mines. What I care about is their dressing, and want to know which force they belong to, and they are in the mood to play role-playing at this time.&1t;/p>

The person opposite nodded: "Yes, he has the government authorization and is a legal exploration activity. Are you here to find gold?"&1t;/p>

"No, I'm looking for a blue stone that can deal with zombie stones, but my teammates and I got separated."&1t;/p>

"Zombies are superstitious, we should believe in science. Do you know radio? Hey, the Italians say they understand this thing, but the Russians say they understand it. In short, if you have it, you can find your friends. This is the power of science, do you understand?"&1t;/p>

"Radio...just clear?"&1t;/p>

"Yes, what I read in the newspaper last year, you can go with us first, maybe we will meet your friends."&1t;/p>

"Thank you, can I ask what year this year is?"&1t;/p>

"Of course it was 19o2. Sorry, I won't use your method to calculate the year. I was adopted by my father at a very young age and have been living abroad, so..."&1t;/p>

"Miss Sang, it's the year of Renyin." The mustaches beside her said.&1t;/p>

"My mother!" I shouted in surprise, 19o2, In the 28th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance had just finished attacking the capital!&1t;/p>

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"&1t;/p>

"I'm fine, I feel uncomfortable."&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, we will find your friend. There is only one way here. If they are not behind, they must be ahead. As long as we keep moving forward, we will meet them."&1t;/p>

I grabbed a point in her words and asked, "What? There is only one way?"&1t;/p>

She nodded: "Yes, didn't you come in from this road? There is no other fork in this road."&1t;/p>

She said, pointing to the darkness behind her, which was clearly another direction, and it was a completely different route from the island access I walked over.&1t;/p>

My heart pounded wildly, and I pointed my hand at the passage when I came and said, "Look at that, is there any difference?"&1t;/p>

‘Sang Rou’ and the braided men behind her looked at me together, and then looked at me with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a lunatic.&1t;/p>

"That's just a wall. You must be too nervous and too scared. Don't worry, it's safe to be with us."&1t;/p>

Her words did not comfort me at all. They turned a blind eye to a bright passage, which made me suddenly have an idea. If I walk back into the passage, will it disappear from their eyes?&1t;/p>

Disappear!&1t;/p>

Is this what Xun Bishan’s ancestors mean by disappearance?&1t;/p>

I can't see the entrance where they come in, nor can they see the passage where I come over. The two sides met at the door of the metal corridor. Regardless of whether they are really from the Qing Dynasty or not, even modern people, this situation is very bizarre.&1t;/p>

The only channel I came from within the island people's base. No matter which path Gu Yu and the others took, they will eventually lead to this metal channel.&1t;/p>

The proposal of "Sang Rou" is actually very reasonable. If Gu Yu and the others enter here before me, the person will definitely be in front.&1t;/p>

"Okay, thank you for taking me with you, let's go in."&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>
