Qin Luo could hardly believe his ears, until Dean said it again, he came back to his senses.
He doesn't know how far the dog camp is from the ground, but it is definitely not a short distance to estimate from the feeling of dropping the bucket several times. In addition, this place used to be the place where the blood clan imprisoned felons, so it must not be an easy place to leave. After ZO occupied this place, how could they not search carefully, even if there is a passage, it might be tightly blocked by ZO. Besides, in the many years since this place became a dog camp, he has never heard of any other passages that can avoid the elevator. If that passage existed, would there be any need for so many mutants to fight desperately for the lifting platform!
But there is no absolute in everything, maybe there really is a secret passage here. Those big guys stayed underground for so long, maybe they really found a passage that was not known to outsiders, or they could already leave the dog camp through this passage. It's just that this news has been blocked by them, so other mutants don't know. Maybe it was because of this that they stayed so comfortably below the dog camp, because they could leave at any time, and they didn't have to worry about being trapped by ZO in the end.
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Luo's mind, and he looked at the shy young man. The young man was about the same age as him. At this moment, Dean had calmed down and was talking to the young man in a young voice. The other slaves trapped here also pricked up their ears excitedly. Mostly Dean was talking, and the young man only occasionally answered. Qin Luo couldn't understand what they said, and guessed that Dean might be asking where the passage was, so he didn't bother them.
After a while, Dean finished questioning the young man, and then relayed the news to Qin Luo in a low voice.
The young man only overheard about the passage, and he didn't know the specifics. The passage is somewhere in this lizard's territory, and the other big guys also know about the passage. As for whether they passed through the passage and returned to the ground, the young man did not know.
Qin Luo frowned tightly. If this is the case, then this passage may really lead to the ground. The reason why those big bosses don't allow other mutants to operate in this area is not only to avoid disturbance and show authority, but also to keep the passage secret. Then there are two possibilities, one is that ZO knows about the passage, and those big bosses are the ones who stayed to guard the passage. The other is that ZO didn't know the existence of the passage, and that passage was discovered by these big guys later. Given Qin Luo's understanding of ZO, he felt that the latter option might be more reliable.
The young man's name was Weixi, and he was first given to the big lizard by mutants after entering the dog camp two years ago. About three years later than Dean, because of his shy personality, he didn't talk much to other people. But Dean took good care of him, so among the remaining dozen or so slaves, his relationship with Dean was considered the best. Before that vampire boy appeared, this shy Weixi had always been the one "summoned" by the green boss.
When he said the word 'summon', Dean's tone slowed down. Qin Luo understood what he meant. After all, these beautiful young people were not imprisoned here just to take care of a large lizard's daily life. Qin Luo was a little embarrassed and coughed a few times.
As far as he knew, the males of reptiles such as snakes and lizards had a pair of clavicles. Of course, this is a more elegant name, and they also have a name called semi-yin stems. In some legends, people saw the snake's back with two feet, but what they saw was the pair of joints of the snake. Usually that thing is not exposed outside the body, but buried behind the cloaca.
Because of his parents, Qin Luo raised lizards when he was a child, so he saw that 'little thing'. But judging by the size of this lizard, that thing is definitely not small. So Qin Luo's mind immediately came up with the scene of a few naked young men masturbating at the two pillars. That scene was so weird that it made people want to laugh, and Qin Luo's face was also a little bit.
Dean seemed to have guessed what Qin Luo was thinking, and looked at him a little sadly, Qin Luo touched his nose in embarrassment. He admitted that he was impure and overthinking, the big lizard should still be able to change into a human shape. It is also a man's inferiority, he can still understand it to some extent. After all, after a certain period of time, during the most relaxing period, even those big bosses who are used to being arrogant and bloody in the dog camp on weekdays are likely to put their arms around the person next to their pillow and say some private words to coax them. Otherwise, Weixi should not be the only one who knows the existence of the channel.
Of course, the sooner the passage is found, the better, not to mention that no one knows about Qinglu's death, the remaining gangsters will relax their vigilance in this situation. Judging from the current crisis situation in the dog camp, the sooner they leave, the better. Once those bosses can't deter the mutants here, it is likely to be a big melee. At that time, if those big bosses want to use the tunnel to escape, there is no telling what will happen again. And Qinglu is the most powerful character here, and because of her existence in the past, those big bosses would be more peaceful. Now that it's dead, it's very likely that before the mutants make a fuss, those bosses will turn the dog camp upside down.
After discussing with Dean, Qin Luo selected ten people from the dozen to be responsible for guarding. The eight people, including Dean, followed Qin Luo to rummage through the lizard's lair to see if they could find that passage with luck. After all, this is also a green territory. And Qin Luo's intuition told him that the passage is probably somewhere in this place. If they can find out the channel, it will save a lot of time. If they can't find the passage, just ask Mo when he comes down again. Although some of the memories that Mo inherited from Murphys are very vague, this place was once the territory of the blood race. As for why Qin Luo is so sure, this passage must have been left in the past, and the reason lies in those hard stone walls. He didn't believe that those big guys were capable of digging through that kind of stone that was hard to leave scratches on.
Dean had previously said that sometimes this large lizard would not leave its nest for ten and a half months. Qin Luo was very skeptical about this, maybe this guy went above the ground through the passage during the ten days and a half months.
Qin Luo told Dean his thoughts, and asked Dean to tell him in detail about the green boss.
Dean felt that Qin Luo's guess was very likely, because during that time, the big lizard would not 'summon' them. As for food and drink, they only delivered food when the big lizard summoned them. During the rest of the time, apart from sitting on their knees in the stone corridor outside the lair, they were locked in a stone room connected to the stone corridor by it. And every month, they will be forced to be locked in the stone room for a period of time.
Qin Luo frowned and thought about it. The entrance here is the stone corridor where Dean and the others often kneel. If someone came in, Dean and the others would definitely see it. The lizard must have locked them up so they wouldn't see anything. As for what he was afraid of being seen, of course it was something related to secrets. Maybe the other bosses will also use that passage to leave the ground. It is very likely that the big lizard locked them up because they were afraid that they would see those bosses. After all, the kings of the underground world always come together, so it's hard not to be suspicious.
Qin Luo first observed the wall, a place where people often come and go will definitely leave clues. If that place is hidden, then the opening of the mechanism will inevitably cause a certain amount of wear and tear on the stone wall. Even if the stone walls here are hard and wear little, the amount of dust falling, the smoothness of the corners, the penetration of the wind... In short, there should be some traces left.
Unexpectedly, he searched the stone corridor all over, but did not find any suspicious traces. Qin Luo rubbed his chin, and told Dean to go to the stone room where the big lizard usually lived.
The stone room is extremely spacious, even wider than the place where Qin Luo and Mo saw the big lizard. Except for a few stone pillars for load-bearing, there is nothing superfluous in the whole stone room. But this place is more like a hidden passage than the stone corridor. Qin Luo and Dean fumbled again, but still found nothing. When the two were thinking hard, suddenly there was a sound of heavy stones rubbing against each other in the stone room. Along with the sound of rubbing, another person exclaimed. The two turned their heads to look at the sound at the same time. The difference was that Dean looked at the holed stone wall; while Qin Luo looked at the person who exclaimed.
The opened stone wall entrance is about three meters wide and more than two meters high. Qin Luo stood outside, looked inside through the cold light on the wall, and did not rush in rashly. When looking at the entrance, Qin Luo deliberately looked at Dean and Weixi from the corner of his eye.
Dean was so excited that his eyes watered. If Qin Luo hadn't pulled him, he would have wanted to go in and check almost immediately. Wei Xi still had a timid look. It seemed that being with Qin Luo, a stranger, seemed to make him a little nervous, and he kept biting his lower lip with his teeth.
Qin Luo turned to Dean and said, "Let's see how this is opened first."
Speaking of Qin Luo smiled at Wei Xi, when Dean translated Qin Luo's words to Wei Xi, Qin Luo obviously saw a flash of unwillingness in Wei Xi's eyes.
Unwilling? Why does Weixi have such emotions? Is this hole really a so-called passage
Qin Luo's mind turned quickly, and a bloody plot quickly played out in his mind. The story is about a king, a millionaire, and a beautiful boy imprisoned. In the warmth of day and night, the beautiful boy fell in love with the king and the rich man, but resented the person who rescued him. Then there is another story about a poor male favorite who has a secret love affair with the king's courtiers. The more Qin Luo thought about it, the more he felt that these two stories were most likely a reflection of the current situation. If this young man was not tempted by the big lizard, he had some special relationship with one of the mutants they killed.
In particular, Dean once said that this Vesey was often 'summoned' by the lizard, and maybe he really fell in love with the lizard. And all his actions now may be revenge for that big lizard or some mutant.
People trapped here are extremely eager to get out of here. If it wasn't for his ten years of life in the last days, he was used to treating everything cautiously. Then it was very possible that he had recklessly entered that open place just now, putting himself in danger. Maybe if he goes in with his front foot, this guy with his back foot will close the stone wall. This stone wall is extremely strong, and can almost isolate Mo's perception. If Vesey locked him and Dean in there, or killed Vesey after he was locked in, then unless he came out of it by himself, Mo might not be able to find him for the rest of his life.
Qin Luo snorted coldly in his heart, he could only say sorry for this guy's wishful thinking. Because even if the guy locks him inside as he wishes, as long as the stone wall is an independent existence, then he will expose the space at worst. Throwing this huge stone wall into the space, he did not believe that he would not be able to get out by then.
The organ touched by Weixi is a stone brick that forms the ground. It didn't look like anything special, after Dean talked with Vesey. The answer Wei Xi gave was that he didn't know how to touch the mechanism. Just when he stepped on it, he suddenly felt his feet sinking, and then there was a sound.
Qin Luo lowered his head and groped for a while on the stone that Weixi pointed out, carefully observed Weixi's actions, and according to what Weixi said, lightly stepped on the nearby stone bricks. But it didn't touch the mechanism again, and the open stone gate didn't close again, and there was no other movement.
Dean also bent over and groped the stones, but also found nothing.
Although both of them were sure that Weixi must have touched something here just now, Weixi insisted that he only stepped on the ground just now, and the stone on the ground was dented just now, and there was nothing else.
Qin Luo checked the stones again, but still didn't find anything special. Although Dean felt that Qin Luo's caution was necessary, he still didn't understand.
"Do you want to check that passage first, maybe it really leads to the ground." Dean looked at Qin Luo, who was still carefully checking the stone ground, and said.
"No hurry, let's find out how the mechanism is triggered first." Qin Luo expanded the scope of the search without raising his head. Carefully step on and tap the stones around the bricks.
"How about I go and have a look first?" Dean then suggested.
Qin Luo heard his insistence, sighed, looked up at Dean and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you triggered other organs in there if it wasn't a passage?"
Dean opened his mouth, but said nothing. He is not stupid, and he found that the restlessness in the passage will quickly turn cold. The walls here can be opened suddenly, and who knows if it will be closed suddenly. If it doesn't lead to the ground, or it needs time to open. If they were trapped there, they would not be able to survive for a few days without water and food.
Qin Luo stood up and patted Dean on the shoulder, comforting him, "I can understand your eagerness to leave here. Believe me, I don't want to stay here too long. But if I'm not sure, the kind I'm talking about won't happen. When there is a problem, we'd better remain vigilant. Since we won't have any problems in a short period of time, there is no need to take risks immediately. There is absolutely no harm in paying more attention to observation."
Dean also knew that what Qin Luo said was reasonable, and his caution was necessary. Frowning, he finally nodded. After Qin Luo finished speaking, Dean clearly saw that Qin Luo's mouth shape was 'Pay attention to Weixi'. But at this time, Qin Luo turned his back to Weixi, so Weixi didn't see his mouth shape. And Dean nodded, more to Qin Luo's last sentence.
Weixi stood behind the two of them, watching Dean look at him, and blinking timidly back at Dean.
Dean smiled at him, then patted his belly and said something to Vesey. Wei Xi bit her lower lip, and finally turned and left.
Although he couldn't understand what they said, Qin Luo could tell that Dean had sent Wei Xi away on purpose.
After Weixi left the stone room, Dean lowered his voice and said to Qin Luo, "Are you suspicious of Weixi?"
Qin Luo didn't answer but instead asked, "Do you think he has a good relationship with Qinglu?"
Dean was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting this aspect. Then he frowned, "I still can't tell whether the relationship is good or not. He usually talks a few words to me, and hardly anyone else talks. But Qinglu really dotes on him, and for a while he almost It was 'summoning' him to accompany."
Speaking of Dean's frown deepened, Qin Luo asked, "Did you think of something?"
Dean nodded lightly, "If it is possible that Qinglu mentioned the passage to someone else, then this person can only be Weixi, because before he came, I have never seen Qinglu doting on anyone so much." Then Dean paused in embarrassment and said, "Before he came, I also accompanied Qinglu. His roughness made me extremely resentful, and we were often injured by Qinglu. You also know that we Changes, physical fitness is not only much better than normal people, but also has a very good self-repair ability. If it is not because of this, maybe some of us would have been tortured to death by that perverted lizard."
Dean showed a self-deprecating smile, Qin Luo sighed, and comforted him in a low voice. Regarding being forced to be locked up in the dog camp and kept as a confinement of a big lizard, Qin Luo didn't think this kind of treatment would be better than fighting outside.
Dean waved his hand and said, "I was almost killed by that big lizard because of my strong resistance. Later, he thought my cousin was a good helper, so he took a lighter hand on me. And there are more than a dozen slaves here. , and other bosses exchanged from time to time, so he didn't bother me so much. After Weixi came, it may be because he was timid and didn't dare to resist. His injuries were worse than ours. Not much. Afterwards, there were almost no injuries, and the boss often praised him for being well-behaved, and he would always think of him first if there was anything good."
Qin Luo raised his eyebrows, it seems that it is indeed the bloody plot he expected. But if that guy liked the big lizard, and he didn't see the scene of Mo killing the big lizard with his own eyes, why did he insist that they were the murderers? Couldn't he imagine that they killed the murderer of the lizard, and then regarded him and Mo as benefactors.
Dean still seemed to be feeling emotional. In his opinion, although Vesey fell in love with the big lizard, it didn't surprise him too much. But this kind of 'love' is still difficult for Dean to accept. He just couldn't resist the cruel big lizard in his heart, otherwise he might have solved it by himself.
After a while, Weixi came back, and Dean and Qin Luo remained calm. After Qin Luo's unremitting exploration, he finally discovered the location of the organ. He was at least two stone bricks away from the stone brick Wei Xi mentioned. The stone bricks here are more than half a meter long, which means that he is at least one meter away from the stepping position he mentioned. If he didn't take a big step to change his position, it would be difficult for him to stand in the position where Qin Luo saw him in the first place. Moreover, the location of the trigger mechanism is at the joint of four stone bricks, not a single stone brick at all. It needs the strength to trigger the mechanism, Qin Luo must step on it with all his strength, otherwise it is impossible to trigger it. These all illustrate a problem - Vesey is lying.
Weixi on the side looked a little ugly after seeing Qin Luo triggering the mechanism. However, he still put on a timid look and looked at Qin Luo cautiously. The explanation given by Weixi for all this is very simple. He was flustered when he heard the opening of the organ just now, so he remembered the wrong location.
Qin Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. The three of them now knew in their hearts how unreliable this lie was. But since the other party wants to insist on this kind of deception, Qin Luo also wants to see what other tricks this kid has.
Qin Luo turned his head and said to Dean, "Tell him, we Z people believe in chance and luck. Since he has this luck and opportunity to discover this mechanism, then I believe that as long as he leads the way, his luck and opportunity will definitely make it happen." It's easier for us there." Qin Luo pointed to the hole in the wall, and then said with a smile, "As for this kind of opportunity and fate, it depends on his personal thoughts."
Dean didn't show too many emotions. Although he took good care of Vesey on weekdays, it didn't mean that he would agree with his actions. He was full of hatred for the big lizard, and he never wanted to leave here for five years. He was already very grateful to Qin Luo and the others for killing the big lizard. He would not allow Weixi to threaten Qin Luo's safety, let alone sabotage their departure. And Dean didn't think that Vesey had this ability. He tilted his head and conveyed Qin Luo's meaning to Weixi, who looked scared and shook his head to express that he didn't want to enter there.
Qin Luo just smiled, a cold dagger, in Dean's surprised eyes, touched Wei Xi's neck.
"Tell him, if he insists on me cutting off his nose and ears in order to cooperate obediently, then I don't mind making his facial features less."
Qin Luo's words were addressed to Dean, but his cold eyes stared at Weixi. Wei Xi's cowardly expression receded, and she glared at Qin Luo with resentment.
Dean didn't stop Qin Luo, but just translated his words truthfully. Then Qin Luo escorted Wei Xi and entered the place with Dean.
