When a few people entered the secret tunnel and covered the entrance, Victor's heart that had been hanging around fell back. He sighed slightly and said, "Aunt Maria, it's safe here! We should not meet What's in danger..."
Aunt Maria gave a low "um" and stopped speaking.
Victor thought she was worrying about the safety of Uncle Leo, so he comforted and said: "Aunt Maria, Uncle Leo must be fine! If he is not sure enough, he won't take risks easily! Don't worry!! "
Having said this, Victor noticed that little Penny, who was held in his arms by Aunt Maria, was still asleep, so he stopped speaking and said nothing.
After calming his mind, Victor looked around the dark tunnel he was in with the weak light from the vent hole: it was very narrow, about 1.9 meters in height, and the width of two people standing side by side. At the entrance of the underpass, Aunt Maria’s fat body directly blocked the passage, while the other side of the underpass was immersed in the darkness where she could not see her fingers.
"Who built this secret tunnel? Where does it lead? How did Uncle Leo discover such a hidden place? Is it true that he found it while working, as he said?"
Victor, who leaned against the wall of the underpass, flashed all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Normal people will feel anxious and depressed in a dark, narrow space. Victor does the same. His hands holding the sticks can't help clenching and relaxing.
Time passed bit by bit, very slowly.
Victor, who was a little irritable, listened to his ears from time to time. Through those faintly audible voices, he judged that this sudden riot had spread in Carter City!
"The upper-class people living in the aristocratic district are okay. They will not encounter much danger under the protection of the city guard. But the civilians living in the old city and the shops in the commercial district will suffer! Also, the port area Those gangsters in, will never let go of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters..."
Victor sighed secretly in his heart: "Oh! In the final analysis, it is the ordinary residents who are the victims..."
Just as Victor was thinking about it, there were bursts of noisy sounds from far to near.
Angry curses and desperate crying soon sounded one after another in the alley. This harsh sound made Victor's nerves tense again.
"Wow! Mom, Nini is scared! Wow..."
Perhaps she was frightened, and the little Penny who had fallen asleep in Aunt Maria's arms suddenly started crying.
"Nini is good, Nini is not afraid! Mom is here..."
"Wow... Nini wants father! Nini don't stay here, wow..."
In this gloomy environment, Aunt Maria’s comforting voice was of no avail.
"Little ancestor, keep your voice down! Don't attract the attention of the riot soldiers..."
Victor's prayer was obviously counterproductive, covering up the clutter in the secret tunnel, and was moved away by the soldiers who followed the sound!
"Brothers! There is a secret path here!!"
"Huh? Secretly? Maybe there is some valuable stuff hidden in it..."
"Go! Let's go in and search!"
"Be careful! There are people in this secret tunnel..."
"I hear it, it's like the cry of a little girl!"
"What? Girl? Hey, I just like this bite... Don't fight with me for a while!"
"You guy..."
At the entrance of the underpass, there were a few surprise calls, and then there was the sound of weapons and armor colliding with the walls of the passage.
"Damn it! The secret road was discovered!!"
Victor's body was stiff, "Quick! Aunt Maria, let's go into the underpass quickly!"
Victor didn't think much about it, he greeted Aunt Maria, and stumbled towards the depths of the underpass with a wooden stick.
"Aunt Maria, are you keeping up?"
Victor, who was walking ahead and exploring the way, greeted him from time to time to confirm Aunt Maria's safety.
"Little Vic, don't worry, I'll follow you behind..."
Aunt Maria's voice seemed extra calm, without a trace of panic. Under her comfort, Penny finally stopped crying and quieted down.
Victor, who wanted to find the exit as soon as possible, did not notice. The soldiers who entered the secret tunnel disappeared silently at some point, and no one could catch up!
As he walked, Victor saw the faintly visible light coming from the front of the underpass. He was overjoyed and said in a low voice, "Aunt Maria, it seems that the underpass is just in front of you! We will be able to get out of here soon. NS… "
"Eh? Auntie? Aunt Maria! Nini? Little Penny?"
Unexpectedly, Aunt Maria, who responded to Victor not long ago, was strangely missing!
"How is this going?"
It wasn't until this time that Victor discovered that he seemed to be the only one left in the entire secret tunnel! Aunt Maria, Penny, and the riot soldiers who entered the secret tunnel, all disappeared...
Faced with this weird situation, Victor's heart was very tangled. Thinking about it, he couldn't let go of Uncle Leo's request after all, and went back to find Aunt Maria and Penny who had disappeared bizarrely.
Victor, holding a wooden stick, walked cautiously in the dark tunnel for a long time, but he didn't even see a single figure!
It stands to reason that Victor has traveled far beyond the itinerary when he came, and he should have returned to the place where the entrance was long ago... But the fact is that he is still walking in an endless passage!
"Damn it! Is this an illusion? Or some kind of mechanism?"
Victor's forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, and he had already sensed that he had been recruited.
…
On the other side, Aunt Maria had already hugged Penny and walked out of the dark road. She was also wondering why Victor, who was walking in front, disappeared after turning a corner? Could it be that he has already left
"Maria!"
Uncle Leo, wearing heavy armor and holding a warhammer, appeared at the exit at the other end of the dark tunnel. He first gave Aunt Maria a hug, then kissed Penny's forehead, and asked eagerly: "Are you okay? Xiaowei How about others? Are you behind?"
"What? Didn't Little Vic come out?"
Aunt Maria retelled what happened quickly, which made Uncle Leo's brows frowned again.
"Oh! Maria, why are you not optimistic about Little Vic?"
Uncle Leo stomped abruptly and said, "You two will go to the barracks outside the city with me first... If this continues, the situation in Carter City will be completely out of control!"
"What about little Vic?" Aunt Maria asked worriedly, "Don't we need to go back and find him?"
"Time is too late! I can only hope that little guy has good luck..."
