Climbing out for a few meters, the front was wide open, and it seemed that there was still a cool breeze blowing on my face. I climbed out of the cave and was shocked. I saw that there was a long tunnel under the light of a flashlight.
Looking back at the entrance of the cave, it seemed that it was the cause of the rainwater infiltration. The cement cave wall collapsed and the earth cave was opened into the tunnel.
Ming Han crawled out, and when he saw it, he was surprised: "Here, is this the city's underground drainage system?"
In the middle of the tunnel is rainwater flowing down from the ground. The width of the waterway is about four meters, and the trails on both sides are about one meter. There are two rat corpses floating on the water, which are carried slowly by the water.
Suddenly hearing movement from the earth cave, lightning's hairy head stretched out, and Alice also crawled out of the cave.
I said, "Alice, why are you down too?"
Alice patted the messy hair on her head, shook off the mud, and said, "You won't come out for a long time, I'm worried, so I came down."
I said, "It's nothing here, it's the city's sewer. Ming Han and I are preparing to go up."
At this time, Ming Han pointed at the water with a flashlight: "Look, what is this?" He stooped and picked it up, but it was an empty box of instant noodles.
Although the box has been soaked softly, the oil stains inside the box can still be seen. Obviously, the box was discarded, and it shouldn't be too long as the water drifted here.
I whispered, "Could it be that there are... survivors in this sewer?"
Ming Han nodded, "Why don't you... come and see?"
Lightning walked ahead on four legs. The three of us focused on guard, followed behind, walked out five or six hundred meters, and came to the intersection of two underground rivers.
I said, "It's troublesome now, where should I go?"
Alice said, "Keep going."
I wondered: "How do you know to keep going?"
Alice smiled: "Intuitively."
Ming Han and I looked at each other and smiled: "Intuition, dear, are you here to be funny?"
The three of them were talking, but after hearing the lightning "hum" twice, they turned straight to the fork on the right, and I said, "Hurry up, the lightning seems to know how to go."
Ming Han drew out the stick knife and scoffed twice.
, Carve an arrow on the wall of the cave, lest you lose your way when you come back.
The Eagle City is so big, and the underground drainage system is like a labyrinth of intricacies. We followed the lightning for a long time. An iron gate appeared on the wall of the cave, and behind the gate was an upward step.
The iron door was hidden, and the lightning squeezed in easily. I opened the rusty iron door. When the iron door opened, it made a jerky squeaking sound, which looked unusually harsh in the tomb-like tunnel.
I understood a little bit at this time. Lightning is not to track where the instant noodle box came from, but it seems to have been here, and then leads us to where it came.
After climbing the steps, the three of them were shocked, and saw that there were tracks on the ground. Under the light of the torch, the icy rails gave off a faint cold light.
Ming Han said, "This is a subway line."
The lightning walked towards the end of the subway without hesitation, and we followed one step at a time, depending on where the lightning would lead us.
The wind was blowing in the tunnel, making people feel cold on their backs.
Go straight along the track, passing by some abandoned platforms from time to time. There are messy items everywhere on the platform, and you can see the sky from the exit of the station.
After walking for four or five hours without knowing it, the lightning still didn't mean to stop. In this quiet underground space, we could only hear us panting.
Alice rubbed her legs: "When is Lightning going, eh, do you think you will run into Night Demon?"
I was really afraid of what would come. I only listened to the depths of the tunnel, wailing a few times, and a chaotic sound rushed over.
I brushed my hair and stood it up. Fortunately, just past a platform at this time, the three of them hurriedly hid into the platform duty room with lightning.
In the darkness, a group of night monsters rushed over, jumped onto the platform, and rushed out of the station. I said softly, "The night monsters are active at night, so it's better to leave tomorrow."
Until now, Ming Han and Alice are also very tired. There is a sofa in the duty room, so they both lie down to rest, take turns to watch the night, and spend the night.
At seven o'clock the next morning, we continued to follow the lightning.
After walking for most of the day, a fork in the tunnel appeared, and lightning went straight into the fork.
There is a lot of weight in this fork
Type machinery and equipment, depending on the situation, this is an expansion project of the subway, but it has not yet been completed, and the end will happen.
The three of us are becoming more and more curious about where lightning will eventually take us.
I used a flashlight to illuminate the road under my feet, and found that all the red soil was dug out. This time I confirmed that the bright red soil on the body of Lightning and Bai Xin came from.
Ming Han said: "It is certain now that Li Li and Bai Xin have both been here, but why did they come here?"
I shook my head and didn’t understand. So, I suddenly slapped my head and noticed a problem, that is, we walked all the way, although the twists and turns, but the general direction is east, and the star man’s old nest, Mushroom Mountain, is also located right there. Eastern suburbs of Eagle City.
When Ming Han saw me pat his head, he wondered: "What's the matter?"
I said: "It's very possible that lightning is leading us to the celestial nest."
Ming Han was surprised: "Yes, don't you say that I haven't paid attention yet, we are indeed going east all the time."
I pondered: "Ming Han, maybe you were right yesterday. Both Bai Xin and Lightning fell into the hands of the stars. They didn’t know how they escaped. Then after Bai Xin’s corpse changed, Lightning was alone. Wandering in Eagle City."
Ming Han nodded: "I'm afraid it is so."
I said: "If we guessed right, then we will go to the night, I'm afraid we will be under Mushroom Mountain."
Ming Han's expression stunned: "So, it is possible for us to avoid that layer of ion waves and enter the celestial lair?"
I nodded slowly.
Alice has been listening quietly, and then interjected: "If it is really like your analysis, then I think we should go back immediately and discuss with Shaw and Athena before deciding how to go next. It's not just the three of us who rushed into it recklessly."
Alice is thoughtful and cheerful. Although she and Athena almost fell out because of Zhou Zi's affairs, she didn't care about the incidents, so she thought of going back and discussing with Athena the first time.
The three of them stopped, and Ming Han said in deep thought, "But all our inferences are based on the assumption that Bai Xin and Lightning were caught by the stars, and then escaped. If that's not the case, the tunnel goes through. There is nothing at the end, didn't it make everyone laugh at it?"
