Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 19 Escape
After seeing the ferocious appearance of the demon, Su Mengfan looked at Tyne, remembering that Tyne got a card from the bookshelf before.

Turning his head and looking back, he found that Saqi and the commander were doing their own business, so he reached for Tyne's shirt.Take out the card in your pocket.

Looking down, my mind felt dazed for a while, but immediately recovered.

Su Mengfan lowered his head and thought deeply.

"Alcorn, don't look at it, we have to leave quickly, our mission is urgent." The commander said to Su Mengfan.

Su Mengfan immediately put away the card in a panic, and walked towards the commander.

Looking at the commander's face, he didn't find any sadness.It seemed that he didn't care about Tyne's death, as if what died was not the comrade who had just fought together, but a crayfish that could be seen everywhere.

Yes, in today's world, life is worthless.Without the constraints of the law, life would not seem so precious.

At this time, Saqi held Su Mengfan's shoulders, "Alcorn, are you okay. Tyne is a powerful hunter, but I didn't expect him to die like this."

Su Mengfan remained silent, thinking of why Tyne said before, it is best not to meet demons.

I naively thought that if the devil really appeared, he would kill it immediately, but I didn't expect that the Tyne hunter would die in front of me, but I was too scared to move.

The commander clenched his fist, and the veins on his hand burst out.He took a deep breath, and the panel of the protective cover was immediately enveloped by the foul air, slowly turning into water vapor and disappearing.

Without saying anything, he turned his head and walked out of the room.

A huge wooden door stood far away in the passage, making a long creaking sound.

The commander rushed to the side quickly and hid behind the hidden pillar at the end of the round arch.

Daniel immediately rolled to the side.

The same goes for Su Mengfan.

"Further up is the main reading room," Saatchi whispered to Su Mengfan, "They sometimes appear there..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The commander suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Don't you know that librarians can't tolerate noise?

To them, making noise is like waving a red cloth in front of a bull! "

Swearing and pointing to the door to the reading room, he leaned against the wall and began to move towards the huge oak panel.

Su Mengfan and Sa Qi followed behind without stopping.

The commander was the first to enter. He leaned against a door panel and raised the submachine gun in his hand, with the barrel pointing upward.

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and quickly pushed the door open with his shoulder, pointing the barrel of the gun at the dark, open door of the main hall.

They quickly gathered there. The hall was a surprisingly large room, and 20 meters above the floor was a ceiling, just like the vestibule.

There were morning glories hanging from the ceiling, connected by thick and thick vines, and the walls of the hall were decorated with similarly unnatural morning glories.

There are 6 huge windows on each wall, only some of the windows still have glass.

However, the lighting here is very weak, and the moonlight barely penetrates the densely tangled leaves and sprinkles the glowing stems.

There used to be a row of desks for readers from left to right.

But now, much of this furniture has been removed, some burned or broken, but there are about 12 tables.

Standing near a battered decorated door on the opposite wall, a sculpture protruded from the very center of these tables, as vague as the half-hidden surroundings.

Plastic sheets that say "Quiet Please" are all over the place with screws.

The silence here is so different from the silence in the vestibule that it is so heavy it is almost palpable.

Silence fills the old rough hall so completely that you feel afraid to break it.

They stood there, searching the space in front of them with the flashlights in their hands, until the commander said, "Maybe it's the wind..."

But at this moment, Su Mengfan noticed that in front of them, between the two dilapidated tables, a gray shadow appeared and disappeared into the black gap between the bookshelves.

The commander saw it too. He put the night vision device on his eyes, raised the submachine gun sharply, stepped on the mossy floor carefully, and began to walk towards the mysterious entrance.

Although the commander in front signaled Su Mengfan and Sa Qi to stay where they are, they still couldn't help but follow the stalker forward, it was too scary to stay alone at the entrance.

At the same time, Su Mengfan couldn't bear to look at the hall, where traces of the previous magnificence still remained.

In doing so, he not only saved his own life, but everyone else's as well.

This room, several meters high, is completely enclosed by galleries, which are very narrow corridors enclosed by wooden fences.

You can see through the windows of the gallery, and there are doors to the offices on the walls next to the gallery, as well as on the walls on either side of the ancient door panels.

Access can be made by reading the paired staircases on either side of the carvings, or by a single staircase that leads upwards from the entrance.

Those gray bumps were moving down the stairs silently and cautiously.

Among them are more than a dozen creatures that don't quite melt into the darkness.

They lean forward and bend over, with long front legs (which, miraculously, resemble arms), almost reaching to the floor.If he stood up straight, he would be as tall as Su Mengfan.

These creatures moved forward on their hind limbs, and their gait was shambling, but their gait was surprisingly light and agile. From a distance, they looked like gorillas.

Su Mengfan thought of the gorilla he saw in the zoo with his parents when he was a child in his previous life.

It took Su Mengfan no more than a second to draw these observations.

For when the beam of his flashlight fell on one of these creatures and cast a clear black shadow on the wall behind it, there was a sudden vicious chirp from among them.

These creatures became agitated, and no longer crept as before, but rushed down quickly.

"Librarian!" Thatch yelled with all his might.

"Lie down!" ordered the commander.

Su Mengfan and Sa Qi fell to the ground, they did not shoot.

Because the stalkers had warned that if they fired a gun, or made any loud noises, they would attract a large number of librarians and make them angry.

But these people's hesitation about whether to shoot or not quickly dissipated after seeing the commander's actions - the commander lay down next to them and took the lead in firing.

Several creatures roared and fell to the ground, while others quickly dodged into the darkness, aiming to sneak up on people.

A moment later, a monster suddenly appeared two meters away from them, leaped high, and tried to grab the commander by the throat, but the commander quickly killed it by lying on the ground.

"Run! Go back to the roundhouse and find a way to get to the archives!
Solomon should know how to get there, they taught them!
We will stay here, cover you, and fight them off. "The commander said to Su Mengfan, and then, without another word, he stepped forward and joined them.

Sa Qi gestured to Su Mengfan, and the two rushed towards the exit carefully.

A creature rose from the darkness to block their way, but it was quickly knocked to the ground by a hail of bullets.

The Commander has been covering both of them.

After exiting the main reading room, Thatch dashed back into the vestibule where he had come before.

Su Mengfan thought that his partner was going to run away because he was overly frightened by the librarians.

But instead of rushing for the exit stairs, Thatch went around, past the surviving card catalog cabinet, and ran across the vestibule.

Going that way, the room narrows and there are three doors at the end, one in front and one on each side.

The door on the right leads to a staircase completely submerged in darkness.

Here, Sage finally catches his breath.

It took Su Mengfan a few seconds to catch up, he never thought that his companion would have such agility.

They stood quietly, listening.They heard gunshots and roars coming from the hall, and it seemed the fighting was still going on.

Not knowing who will win the battle, they have no time to waste waiting to see how it all ends.

"Why do we come back? Why do we start from the other side?" Su Mengfan asked panting.

"I don't know where they will take us?" Sage shrugged, "Maybe they want to bring us another way, the elders only taught me one way, this way can get us from this front hall side to the documentation room.

Now, we climbed the stairs from the first floor, then followed the hallway to another set of stairs.

Then, walking through the duplicated card catalog, we'll go to the documentation room. "

He pointed the submachine gun in his hand into the darkness, then stepped into the stairwell.

Su Mengfan followed and lit the way forward with a flashlight.

At the very center of the staircase is an elevator shaft, which extends down about three floors and covers about the same distance upwards.

Apparently, the elevator shaft had previously been surrounded by glass, as there were shards of glass on the ground.

Now, it has been gathering dust for decades, but its raised silhouette can still be seen in the steel and concrete.

The square shaft of the elevator was surrounded by rotting wooden steps, with shards of broken glass, spent brass bullets, and piles of dried wings everywhere.

There are no traces of railings here, so Su Mengfan had to stick himself tightly to the wall and watch his feet carefully to avoid slipping and falling below.

They went up one floor and found themselves in a small square room.

There are also three exits here, and Su Mengfan understands that without Sa Qi's guidance, it is impossible for him to get out of this maze.

The door on the left leads into a wide, dark corridor.The flashlight in his hand couldn't reach the end of it.

The door on the right-hand side was closed, sealed with criss-cross planks for some reason.

Written in soot on the wall next to it: "DO NOT OPEN! VERY DANGEROUS!"
