sunset escape

In the darkness all around came a vague restlessness, denser than the swarm of rats swarming and raging at the opening of the wall.It was a creature hiding in the dark, and became uneasy after being disturbed.

Xiang Jiayun turned around warily, with his back on the giant tree in the center of the hall, and looked around.

The source of the vibration was not nearby, but seemed to come from deep underground.Not only this tree was trembling, but the whole building was shaking faintly, and invisible dust shook from the roof, adhering to the tops of their heads and shoulders.

Just when he took He Chen's wrist and wanted to pull him to run outside, the vibration stopped abruptly, as if the situation just now was just his illusion.

He Chen patted him on the back reassuringly, waited for another two seconds, and then calmly opened his mouth when he saw that he was really quiet: "Go out or go in?"

It was rare for Xiang Jiayun to have the right to choose, but he didn't know how to choose for a while.Although the sudden small-scale chaos has subsided, I don't know if the shock will come again. What if the house is collapsed by the earthquake?

On second thought, if the museum collapsed, it would be even more difficult for them to find the entrance to the research institute.So you still have to seize the opportunity now.

He pulled He Chen around the big tree, walked deeper, and replied softly: "You can't return empty-handed."

He Chen Congshan followed his pace like a stream, "Okay, listen to you."

When they circled the hall just now, they found another passage, which was probably opposite to the promenade when they came, so it was easier to find.

Xiang Jiayun groped for those glass showcases along the way, memorized their locations, and then marked them on the map in his heart for reference.

After walking in the dark for so long, he was used to being unable to see, so when Mr. He lowered the flashlight to a gear, his vision was still barely clear.

This exit is also connected to a corridor, but it is shorter than the one coming in, and there are only bare walls on both sides, and there are no exhibits.They walked more than ten steps, and a fork appeared in front of them. The corridor turned [-] degrees to the left and right, extending to both sides.

Faced with the question of whether to go left or right, Xiang Jiajun turned to look at Teacher He, "Rock paper scissors? I won and went to the left."

Mr. He even played with him, said yes, and said, "Then I will make scissors."

He was taken aback, dare to play psychological tactics?After Teacher He finished speaking, he immediately started to count down three two one. Before he could decide whether to trust the other party to offer the scissors, He Chen counted to one.

He hastily pulled out a stone, but in the dim light, He Chen's outstretched hand was obviously in the shape of cloth.

"You lied to me?" Xiang Jiayun protested angrily.

He Chen led him to the right, very ruthlessly, "Don't blame others for your slow reaction."

Xiang Jiayun was immersed in the anger of being cheated, and couldn't understand why he was so wicked even after being his boyfriend?

He didn't come back to his senses until Teacher He stopped in front of him.There are two small exhibition halls on both sides of the corridor, and there is another room with a closed door directly in front of it, which says "Non-employees do not enter".

They first went to see the two small exhibition halls, which were the specimen production room and the audio-visual room.Most tables, chairs and benches are one size smaller than usual, and should be provided for children.

The equipment in the audio-visual room is very old, and it is a style that was popular about ten years ago.There is even a CD player for playing CDs next to the computer host.

"Will there be AA batteries in the room? This projection screen is so old, so it must be controlled by a remote control. By the way, is there an air conditioner here, look for the air conditioner remote control?"

He couldn't help thinking about it again, seeing the light of the flashlight getting dimmer, he worried that it would have to stop working completely in ten minutes or so, and he had to find the batteries.

He Chen replied briefly: "Then look carefully."

The two of them searched the audio-visual room, but they didn't see any shadows of batteries and flashlights, but they encountered a few spiders scurrying around.They stayed peacefully in their old nest in the corner, but they fled immediately when they were disturbed.

Xiang Jiayun touched the back of her neck uncomfortably, trying to drive away the illusion that the spider was hanging above her head.After finding the last cabinet, Teacher He straightened up and touched his head, as if he knew what he was thinking, and came to help him get rid of his discomfort.

While ruffling his hair, he said solemnly: "This place is all empty, there is no information left, let's go to the office to have a look?"

He unconsciously rubbed against Teacher He's palm, and didn't notice the momentary stiffness of that hand, so he quickly turned his head and said softly, "Okay."

After walking a few steps, He Chen followed, Xiang Jiayun stopped in front of the closed door, stretched out his hand and pushed, "It's locked, do you want to break the door violently?"

The door is not too strong, even an old-fashioned wooden door, which is easy to break open.

He looked back and saw Mr. Shang He's indifferent expression, so he lifted the ax knowingly and took a step back.Before chopping it down, he murmured to himself: "I hope it won't attract strange things."

The light of the flashlight moved silently to the door panel, targeting a position for him.Xiang Jiayun aimed at the spot of light, and with the weight of the falling axe, smashed it on the door panel, and there was a groove there immediately.

In the silent environment, this sound was like thunder, echoing in the deep and vast space.

Xiang Jiayun took a slow breath, and slashed towards the groove again, this time piercing the door panel directly.

His body was pushed back slightly, and he took two steps back.He Chen went around to the front, stretched out his hand to pinch the edge of the cracked door panel, and broke off a door panel forcefully.The broken board was ruthlessly thrown aside, He Chen reached in from the door opening, and two seconds later, Xiang Jiayun heard the sound of the door lock snapping open.

A dull air floated out, which had stagnated in the room for a long time, carrying a heavy musty smell.

Teacher He pushed the door open completely, and the light from the flashlight shone in, outlining a small office.There are complete tables and chairs inside, and there are traces of office work, but there are very few documents on the desktop and in the bookcase.

Xiang Jiayun has been paying attention to the movement behind since he finished chopping the two axes, and he didn't even have time to look at the office.Fortunately, there was no sound from the other side of the corridor, so he was relieved and turned his head away.

He Chen had already walked in, flipping through the documents on the desk casually.Noticing that he finally came back to his senses, he raised his head and waved to him, "Come closer, don't get lost."

His care and entrustment to Mr. He was very useful, and he was in a much happier mood. He almost skipped over and looked down at the documents together.

However, after a cursory glance, the contents of the documents are all about the operation of the museum, nothing special, and the date is ten years ago.

Xiang Jiayun also took the documents from the bookcase, and after flipping through them, he found that they were the same. They were of no value, and the only thing worth noting was the time of the documents.

"About the plan to expand the second floor, the signing date was ten years ago... The second floor has not yet started construction, so the last time the museum opened was ten years ago?" He said his speculation.

Teacher He nodded in agreement with his statement, and continued to deduce: "If it is open normally, it will not be able to conduct secret research, so Minghe chose this place as a secret research site ten years ago. It seems that they have already had this ambition gone."

All kinds of clues show that Minghe Pharmaceutical is inseparable from the outbreak of zombies.But the closer Xiang Jiayun got to the truth, the more he felt that there were some things that were difficult to explain.

Especially the causes of the two different zombies...

Fortunately, they have already found this place, and as long as they find the entrance, all the mysteries can be solved.

There is also a door on one side of this office, which connects several offices further in the depths.Both of them searched again, but still found no clues.

They walked back down the hallway to the fork and left.The structure on this side is symmetrical to that on the right side, and there are still two small exhibition halls, but the deep part is no longer an office, but an equipment room and a utility room.

The space in the equipment room is small, and only one power distribution cabinet is placed.He Chen bent down to open the cabinet doors, tried one by one, but as expected, there was no power.

However, when they opened the door of the utility room, they saw a particularly precious machine among a pile of messy things.

dynamo.

Taking a closer look, this generator has already fallen a layer of dust, and the style is also old.Xiang Jiayun pulled out the oil dipstick, but it didn't even reach the lowest mark, in other words, there was hardly a drop of oil.

The feeling of joy was greatly reduced immediately.It is not easy to run an old generator that is short of oil. It is better to find a new flashlight.

As soon as he finished thinking, a flashlight magically appeared in front of him.Xiang Jiayun opened his eyes wide and looked over, only to see Mr. He holding the handle, wiping the dust off it and handing it to him.

"I saw it from the side, but..." He Chen said with a hint of doubt in his tone, "The style of this flashlight doesn't look like it was ten years ago. No matter how you look at it, it's too new."

Xiang Jiayun took it and pressed the button without saying a word.

A flash of intense light burst out, turning the dark room into daylight.Xiang Jiayun suddenly closed her eyes, thankful that the lamp head was facing the ceiling.

"This bright light...I'm going blind."

The flashlight in his hand was taken away, and the light dimmed after a while. He tried to open his eyes, and saw Mr. He holding up the flashlight to look at it, and said, "There is also a knob-type zoom wheel, and the power is sufficient, good luck."

Xiang Jiayun's eyes were a little stinging, and physiological tears came to his eyes. He looked at the place where the light was shining through a layer of water mist, but suddenly caught a glimpse of something.

"Teacher He, look there," he patted He Chen's arm, and pointed in the direction of the door, "Is that pool of blood on the ground?"

The author says:

When Xiaojun and Teacher He explored these chapters of the museum, I always had the illusion that they were playing in a secret room orz
