There were people in the northwest direction, Wei Xingshan felt that he couldn't just go there directly.
If there is a gun, the four of them will be moths to the flame.
The iron man in the military camp got up serious, and proposed to go up to the city wall to have a look before talking.
This is near the Wengcheng. There are stairs beside the Wengcheng, and you can follow the stairs to the top of the city wall.
Coming to the twenty-meter-high city wall, Wei Xingshan took out another piece of equipment from his bag.
Infrared telescope.
Everyone only brought one of these things on this trip, and the technology is immature and consumes a lot of power, so Wei Xingshan didn't take it out when he was in the forest.
In the field of vision of the infrared telescope, the mysterious veil of this ancient underground city has finally been partly revealed.
Wei Xingshan discovered that this is the structure of a big city surrounded by a small city. About one kilometer away from here, there is a circle of city walls, which should be the inner city.
And in that inner city, at the very center, there is a group of buildings that are obviously higher than other places, so towering that they almost touch the dome of the cave.
Compared with that complex of buildings, the buildings under the feet of the four of them now look extremely shabby.
Five hundred meters to the northwest, there are rows of low buildings, and nothing can be seen from here.
But one thing Wei Xingshan is certain of.
Even if there are people there, they should be in the house, without a gun on the roof.
This reassured Wei Xingshan, and he came down to tell Lin Shuo about the general situation, thinking he could go and have a look.
Walking quickly along the street made Wei Xingshan, who hadn't walked Ping Road for a while, feel very comfortable.
The street planning here is very good, horizontal and vertical, quite spacious.
The distance of 500 meters passed quickly, and everyone came to a row of buildings.
This row of buildings looks like a row of residential buildings.
However, Wei Xingshan didn't think people could live here for a long time. Although it was very warm here, people couldn't see the sun, otherwise they would definitely get sick.
Here, it is estimated that when the city was built, the workers lived temporarily.
The building is very low, almost like a shack.
Lin Shuo stopped in front of a wooden door, and Wei Xingshan, who was following Lin Shuo, quickly made a stop gesture.
Then the man patted Lin Shuo on the shoulder and mouthed the words "I'm coming".
Lin Shuo didn't object, and protected Anne and Yang Tuo to back away a few steps.
The flashlights in Anne and Yang Tuo's hands shone straight on the wooden door.
Wei Xingshan turned off the headlamp, pulled out the dagger from the outside of his thigh, and threw it lightly, pinching the tip of the dagger with his thumb and index finger.
Then he leaned his back against the wall by the door, slowly stretched out his other hand, and gently pushed the wooden door.
"Squeak!"
The wooden door opened slowly.
"do not come!!!"
Inside the door, a woman's hysterical exclamation sounded.
Wei Xingshan quickly poked his head in, then retracted immediately.
He saw clearly that there was a woman squatting at the foot of the wall inside.
With a sigh of relief, he inserted the dagger back into the sheath tied to his thigh.
"Don't be afraid." Wei Xingshan said in a steady tone, "We are here to rescue you."
"Don't come here! Otherwise, I'll fight with you!" The woman inside didn't seem to believe it.
Just as Wei Xingshan was about to say something, he saw Lin Shuo dodging into the room.
Then there was only a muffled hum from inside, and within three seconds, Lin Shuo had already returned to the door.
On his shoulders was a woman.
Wei Xingshan was startled: "You didn't kill anyone, did you?"
"Just passed out." Lin Shuo said lightly.
Put the woman in the middle of the road, and Anne supported her from behind, and asked her to sit up.
Yang Tuo took a picture of her face.
This is a woman in her fifties, with wrinkles on her face and gray hair.
Wei Xingshan asked Yang Tuo, "Lao Yang, do you know this man?"
"I don't know." Yang Tuo shook his head. "I've seen photos of all the missing people, and I remember all their faces. There is no such woman. To be precise, the missing people this time are all men, and there are no women at all."
"Hey, that's strange, where did this woman come from?" Wei Xingshan asked strangely.
"Wake up and ask if you know?" Lin Shuo said.
Anne nodded and pinched the woman's person.
Soon, the woman woke up slowly.
Her expression suddenly became tense, and she wanted to struggle, but found that she couldn't move at all.
Anne used a Brazilian jiu-jitsu body lock technique at this time, with her legs wrapped around her waist, locking her hands and feet from behind.
"You guys! What do you want to do?" The woman struggled for a while, but found no effect, and finally asked loudly.
As long as you are willing to speak, the next step will be easy.
Under continuous cross-examination by Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo, the woman still revealed her identity.
Her name is He Shuzhen, and she is a mountain dweller in the Daxingan Mountains on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River.
She and her husband had previously set up a small farmhouse-style restaurant on the side of the Daxinganling Provincial Highway, which provided food and beverages for tourists. The couple had a pretty good life together.
A month ago, she took a job, saying she was cooking for a group of workers for two months, and the other party paid her 20,000 yuan.
Sake is popular with people's noodles, and money and silk touch people's hearts. Twenty thousand yuan is not a small amount. After discussing with her husband, she accepted the deal.
As a result, He Shuzhen regretted it when she got to the ground.
After all, she was a businessman, and she was not stupid. When she saw that this place was not right, she asked to go back.
It's a pity that now that she's in the land, she can't help herself whether to stay or stay. He pointed a gun at her head, so let's cook honestly.
Even under threat and coercion, He Shuzhen cooked meals for a large group of workers for more than a month.
She was not stupid, she knew that this time was bad luck, and she also knew that this place was far away from the ground, so taking advantage of the convenience of cooking, she secretly prepared dry food and water for herself, and prepared to run away whenever she had the chance.
Ten days ago, shortly after the group of workers went out to work, He Shuzhen heard a loud noise and then an earthquake.
She looked left and right to see if the supervisor was not there, and hurried away with dry food and water!
But this place is too big, she lost her way in this ancient city while running.
She couldn't open the gates of the few cities she passed by with little strength, let alone get out of the city, and even couldn't enter the Wengcheng.
As a result, she was trapped in the city for ten days.
Fortunately, she found a well, and the water source was not a problem, but the dry food had already been eaten the day before yesterday.
In the past two days, she was hungry and afraid, she was afraid that she would starve to death here, and she was afraid that someone would find her and kill her.
After listening to her narration, Yang Tuo's expression lifted.
It turned out that the missing more than 180 loggers were kidnapped here to do hard labor.
And at least ten days ago, they were still alive, and this woman named He Shufen had seen them.
"Then can you tell us where you cooked before?" Yang Tuo continued to ask.
"It's in the inner city." He Shufen said.
"Oh." Yang Tuo and Lin Shuo looked at each other, and they nodded slightly.
"Well, you guys were sent by the Chinese government to save me! Oh, you are really causing trouble to the government, I shouldn't be greedy for the 20,000 yuan!" He Shufen said eagerly at this time, "Hurry up, save me!" Get out!"
"Sister." Wei Xingshan smiled, "We are here to save people, but we are not here to save you. You can only be regarded as an extra gain."
Yang Tuo glared at Wei Xingshan, and then said kindly: "It's okay, we are here to save you. But we also want to rescue those workers, so we can't just leave here right now.
Sister, do you think this is okay? It's still safe here, we leave you some food, you wait for us.
When we find someone later, we will take you with us on the return journey. "
"You are going to rescue those workers." He Shufen said with some worry in her tone, "But there are more than 20 supervisors, all of whom have guns in their hands, and there are only four of you. Aren't you going to die?"
"You don't have to worry about this, since we dare to come, we are sure of it." Wei Xingshan said.
"Then... okay." He Shufen nodded, "I'll wait for you."
Wei Xingshan looked at the woman, and felt pity in his heart. He unsheathed the dagger from his thigh, and handed it to the woman: "Eldest sister, you must pay attention to safety alone. You keep this knife. self-defense."
"No, no, I have it." The woman reached behind her hand and took out a kitchen knife, "I've been in the kitchen for most of my life, and I still use this kind of knife smoothly."
"Sister, you are quite clever. Remember to take a kitchen knife when you run." Wei Xingshan grinned.
"I'm a woman, so I can only use this kind of knife. If the group of people catch up, it's better than empty-handed." He Shufen said.
Wei Xingshan shook his head, he knew that the kitchen knife could only cut but not stab, and the technique was simple, so it was useless in fighting.
But right now, if this woman is really in danger, no matter what she holds in her hand, it will be useless.
The knife is just for her to strengthen her courage. Whether it is a kitchen knife or a dagger, the effect is actually the same.
Wei Xingshan then stopped insisting, bowed his head and tied the set of daggers to his thigh.
As soon as the giant man lowered his head, the kitchen knife in He Shufen's hand slashed at Wei Xingshan's head!
This knife is as fast as lightning!
