sunset escape

Neither of them turned on their flashlights, and they walked very lightly, and the people at the door hadn't spotted them yet.

Xiang Jiayun turned his head and glanced at Teacher He, and he could feel a kind of tacit understanding in the dark.They are all considering whether to meet them directly face to face, or to hide first.

Whether the entrance will be open, and when will it be closed, these two questions are unknown, and the time is tight, they can't delay even a second.

He Chen held his wrist, squeezed it gently, and said softly: "Don't be impulsive when the time comes, let me do it."

It seems to be going up.Xiang Jiayun nodded, trying his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

The two walked to the door of the building openly, only to find that the figure was wearing a white coat, with a frail appearance, and he didn't seem to be threatening.

It wasn't until they approached that the man realized their existence. He was taken aback and jumped back in reflex before frowning and asking, "Who are you!"

Not only Xiang Jiajun was stunned, but even Teacher He was silent for a moment, before speaking after a while: "Why did you come out from inside?"

This short sentence gave a lot of information, for example, they knew that there was a secret research institute here, and they also knew that people from the research institute would not come out easily.

The man also immediately sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly slipped in through the crack of the door, apparently looking for his companions.

Taking advantage of people leaving, Xiang Jiajun hurriedly lowered his voice and said to He Chen: "Why do you look sneaky?"

He Chen shook his head, and only replied, "Wait and see."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand against the door panel and pushed open the heavy door again.As the gap gradually widened, the scene inside was completely exposed to their eyes.

A dozen or so men and women with bags on their backs were all holding flashlights, and some of them hadn't had time to take off their white coats.But not everyone was as timid as the man just now, and there were a few people in the crowd who were particularly conspicuous, not only because of their expressions, but also because of the coldly shining knives in their hands.

And in the depths of the corridor behind the crowd, a farther light also came from the hall.This light is not concentrated and slender like a flashlight, but a stable cluster of light spots.

Xiang Jiayun was finally able to barely see the museum clearly.

The exhibition hall is painted with a large area of ​​green decorative paintings, but with the passage of time, the original light green that symbolized the vitality of life has been eroded and turned into a darker color than dark green.The walls are mottled, and those tangled lines are like the chaos in a dream, chaotic and disorderly.

And the butterfly specimens in the promenade are no longer alive, maintaining the beauty that was glimpsed at the time of death under the sunless dome.

A chill crept up Xiang Jiayun's spine.

"You two! What are you doing!"

A fierce yell brought back his thoughts, and looking in the direction from which the sound came, a tall middle-aged man was waving the tip of a knife at them.

Just as he was about to speak, he felt Teacher He's hand quietly stopping him.

"He came to find someone." He Chen made up a lie without changing his expression.

But this sentence clearly failed to convince anyone, it only aroused doubts among these people.After all, who can find someone to find here, and there is no towering billboard hanging here, which says that this is a research institute for researching zombie viruses, everyone is welcome to visit.

However, Xiang Jiayun felt that Mr. He's words were very good. If they said that their real purpose was to find an antidote and explore the secrets, they would probably be silenced in place.

"Looking for someone?" The man repeated in disbelief, turned his head and looked at his companion twice before turning around, "Who are you looking for?"

This time, He Chen didn't answer directly, but took his hand and walked slowly inside.

The knives in the hands of those people were raised higher, but Xiang Jiayun could feel that these people had no intention of killing them.He hid in the shadow behind Mr. He, using cover to size up the group of people.

Almost everyone has a scholarly temperament that cannot be hidden, and their ages are not uniform, but many people are unconsciously glancing towards the door.

It seems that he is in a hurry to leave.

And the lights on the other side of the main hall haven't disappeared yet, on the contrary, they became brighter after they started contacting, as if they were checking the situation here.

Xiang Jiayun had a faint guess in his heart.

He poked his head out from behind He Chen, rushed ahead and replied, "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for them."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the main hall.

As soon as the words fell, the doubts on the faces of these people suddenly increased, but their vigilance weakened a lot.The middle-aged man who took the lead in threatening them with a knife also put down the knife abruptly, glanced at the main hall, and sneered inexplicably, "It's none of our business to look for them."

This person also verified his words with actions, and took the lead to take a step back, "Walk slowly."

He Chen lowered his head and looked at him, there was some surprise in his eyes, as if he was asking him why he had a flash of inspiration.

"Stupid," Xiang Jiayun's voice couldn't be softer, "There are times when you are not as good as me."

Teacher He nodded in satisfaction, "You did a good job, keep it up."

Unexpectedly being praised as a child again, he rubbed his ears embarrassingly.Those low emotions in my heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Those people said to let them go, but they really ignored them at all, and continued to walk towards the gate.It's just that when they passed by, many people cast prying eyes, as if the two of them were freaks.

Xiang Jiayun moved closer to Teacher He, with his arms close to each other, "These people seem to be eager to get out of here."

He Chen hummed, and added: "There should be internal conflicts in the institute, but this is beneficial to us."

They stepped onto the corridor again, and the bright lights just now faded away, leaving only darkness again.And the spot of light in the main hall ahead is like a guide light at this moment, it is the only road sign guiding them.

The beam remained motionless, as if waiting for them.

Based on the eagerness of the group to leave just now, Xiang Jiayun has no expectations for the people and things waiting for them ahead.I just hope that I will suffer less later.

The closer you get, the clearer the abnormal scene in the hall.

The light came from next to the big tree, and the surroundings of the tree were very different from what they had seen before.A ring is sunken from the flat ground, with neat edges and an unfathomable bottom.

And the light comes from inside.

This big tree struggling on the verge of death was set off by the artificial light source, it was extremely pale, completely lost its vitality, and turned into a dead landscape plant.

On the ground beside the circle were two figures standing motionless, facing them.It seemed that he was still holding the communicator in his hand. Xiang Jiajun heard one of them say something into the communicator, and a short answer came out of it after a while.

They came to the end of the corridor, which was also the entrance to the main hall.The two people waiting for them, a man and a woman, were fully armed, and at a glance, they were equipped with at least three or four weapons.

Should be professional security personnel.

When Xiang Jiayun saw the attire and posture, he remembered the people who kidnapped him. Although it would not cause post-traumatic stress disorder, he immediately felt that these people were not good.

Perhaps sensing his instant resistance, He Chen stepped in front of him in the next second, blocking him again.

"Hello."

Teacher He was actually greeting the other party.

Xiang Jiayun tugged at the hem of Teacher He's clothes from behind, trying to make him not be so polite, two-on-two can still be played.

Unsurprisingly, it was ignored.

"Listen," the woman said indifferently, "are you here to find someone?"

Teacher He nodded.

"Do you know where this is?" The woman asked extra, but it was more like going through a procedure, and she pinned the communicator back to her chest while talking.

"I know, Minghe's secret research location." He Chen replied extremely calmly.

Xiang Jiajun finally understood which tactic Mr. He was going to adopt, probably to avoid being beaten.

Sure enough, this tactic worked. After hearing He Chen's answer, the two didn't say much, they just took out their riot sticks and walked over.It was routine, and said to them without emotion: "Please."

**

The circle was very wide, and it was divided into three sections, each section was wide enough to stop a car.And there is a ring of light inlaid on the edge, which is bright enough but not dazzling.

Xiang Jiajun's hands were tied together again and fixed behind his back.Standing beside him was the male security guard who hadn't spoken just now, watching him neither far nor near.

He Chen and the security guard stood on another section of the circle, far apart.

He vaguely saw the woman take out a small cube, manipulated it a few times with her fingers, and the circular platform under her feet suddenly began to drop, but it was very stable.It's just that there are no guardrails on both sides, and there is a one-meter-wide gap between the ring and the rammed foundation.

There is no foundation in the center of the ring, and the original appearance of the soil is preserved.The roots of that big tree were firmly planted in the soil, and the root system was much more luxuriant than Xiang Jiayun imagined. It took root savagely deep in the ground, and it went down about ten meters.

They descended with the platform for a long time, until the roots of the trees gradually disappeared, and the ring slowly began to slow down.

And the center of the ring is no longer soil, cold reinforced concrete suddenly appeared.After a few more meters, the platform finally stopped, and a huge van elevator was placed in front of them.

Xiang Jiajun happened to be standing in front of the elevator door, and he saw the small console next to the door at a glance.

He turned his head to look at the male security guard, wondering why the man didn't move, shouldn't he press the elevator?However, the sound of footsteps came from the other side, and He Chen's hands were bound, and he walked ahead calmly, as if he was just taking a walk.The female security guard followed behind, still looking indifferent.

Teacher He raised his eyes to meet him, his eyes were stable, and it only took a moment for Xiang Jiayun to feel relieved.

Averting his eyes, he saw the thin and tall female security guard walking to the console and waking up the screen.

As soon as Xiang Jiayun looked at the screen, the male security guard held his arm and pushed, "Turn around, both of you."

It turns out that the elevator has a password, and no outsiders can see it.

They turned around cooperatively, only to be called back a moment later.The elevator door opened, and the inside was spacious enough to accommodate twenty people.The light was not bright, but rather dim.The four of them stood in the middle, making the surroundings seem even more empty and dead.

There were no numbers on the display screen in the elevator, and Xiang Jiayun could only feel that the elevator was going down continuously, as if there was no end to it.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard a ding, and the elevator stopped.

The female security turned her head and moved her arms again.Walking to the front with his back to them, he said something casually while waiting for the door to open.

"It's been too long since a new living person has come in, welcome."
