9, smile gas 05(1/2)
The little man always sat on his straw mat. He looked at the open iron door, his lips trembled slightly, but his body did not move.
Yu Feichen didn't force it. He held up the lamp and led the other five people forward.
I saw that some of the barracks on both sides had their doors locked, some were just ajar, and some even had their iron doors wide open. The bedding inside was messy, as if someone had slept there just now.
If it turns out, as they suspected, that this is a shelter for one day in the future - then what happened here to make everyone leave or disappear?
At the end of the corridor, the door was open to the outside. This was not surprising. Since there were no prisoners inside, there was no need to lock the door. After walking out of the door, the night fog rushed in, and in front of it was the gray sky.
Shadow of the wall.
"We are in the middle of the shelter now," Yu Feichen raised his hand slightly, pointed to the right direction, and said, "There are several barracks there, perhaps where women and children live. I need one or two people to go there.
there."
No one spoke, they all looked at him.
Yu Feichen added: "Those who go there need to return to our barracks before dawn, and then tell me the detailed route to that place, where they live, and whether there is a place for soldiers to stay overnight or live nearby."
Still no one spoke.
After encountering many unreliable employers, Yu Feichen learned one thing: if you want to give orders, the orders must be detailed enough, because no one knows whether the person who executes the orders is a smart person or a fool.
He continued to add: "If you encounter danger, protect yourself. Remember the location and route of everything you see and tell me. Be sure to come back before dawn."
The silence continued until a minute later, when the blond man spoke: "Do you really want to take us away?"
Looking at their hesitant and frightened eyes - Yu Feichen slowly exhaled and suddenly realized that these people were not employers or temporary teammates who unconditionally trusted and obeyed him, but people in a world of war who had just experienced extraordinary experiences.
Ordinary people that people encounter.
And he and they were just strangers in prison.
"What the hell is this place and why is there no one there?" The big-nosed man also spoke and said, "Besides, if we escape, they will catch up and kill us."
Yu Feichen planned something to dispel their doubts. For example, according to his observation, the troops stationed here were not enough to search the entire surrounding mountains after they escaped. But he thought about it and finally did not say so.
"After collecting enough information, I will tell you the plan." He said, "At that time, you can choose to escape or not."
"I want to escape, life here is like an animal," the monk grabbed Yu Feichen's arm and said in a trembling voice, "I can't survive the next day."
The non-stop heavy work in the brick kiln is not something that a person like him who can only read, translate and pray can endure - he has already been whipped today.
However, no one was willing to go there alone. Bai Song opened his mouth and was about to volunteer when he suddenly heard the blond man say: "I'm going, my mother was taken there."
He looked at Yu Feichen: "Only if you are sure that you really want to rescue them."
They looked at each other, and Yu Feichen nodded slowly.
"I'll go too," said the chemistry teacher Glod, whose wife was also there.
"I'm going to the southeast corner to find an escape route. There is a chemical plant over there," Yu Feichen said to him, "Maybe if you follow us, you can help."
There was a hesitant look on the chemistry teacher's face.
Finally, the blond man said: "Don't worry."
The chemistry teacher nodded and walked behind Yu Feichen.
Surprisingly, the big-nosed man also chose to explore the women's and children's barracks. They separated in front of this wall.
The road is very long, and the fence separates all areas. The purpose of building the fence must be to block the sight of the prisoners and prevent them from getting information about the asylum.
While observing the surroundings, Yu Feichen led them to the southeast according to his memory during the day. About an hour later, those buildings appeared in front of them.
On the ground, pipes criss-crossed, and the doorways of buildings were all sealed. If you put an oil lamp on the window glass of some gray low-rise buildings, you could vaguely see some chemicals stacked inside, as well as reagent racks and the like. "Methyl fluoride...
...Isopropyl ester." The chemistry teacher pressed against the window glass, squinted his eyes and read out the name on the reagent label, his face not looking good.
Other low-rise buildings are empty, and some have no windows at all. In the center of the low-rise buildings, there is a building larger than them all, which is also two-story.
The door to the building was locked, but the bricks brought by Bai Song worked again. After confirming that there was indeed no one here, the child smashed the window glass.
They climbed in through the window and saw many complex instruments in front of them. This was undoubtedly a chemical factory.
"Are they making gas?" Bai Song whispered, looking at the huge reactor in the center and the dozens of iron cans two people high stacked on the ground, "Have they already occupied our coal mine?"
The monk's voice was still trembling: "Maybe it is. God is above, God is above, why should the sacred Korosa go through this..."
The chemistry teacher's face became even paler, and Yu Feichen didn't speak. After walking around here, they went up to the second floor.
——In the darkness, the cold wind howled outside, and forty dissecting tables were lined up. Dark shadows were cast on the wall.
There were various instruments and instruments of torture in front of the dissecting table. The dim yellow light of the oil lamp illuminated those dark outlines, and Bai Song screamed - because his eye was almost pierced by a sharp thorn.
"For God's sake," the chemistry teacher picked up an iron clip of an electric shock device, confusion appearing in his eyes, "They have done many cruel experiments, why would something like this happen?"
Yu Feichen walked through these dissecting tables and experimental equipment, and there were desks and filing cabinets on the opposite side. But when he opened the cabinet door, he found that there was nothing inside - except for some blank notes and notebooks.
There was nothing valuable in the drawers of the desk. It wasn't until Yu Feichen opened the last one that a newspaper slowly floated down. They gathered under the lamp to look at it. The first thing they saw was the accompanying picture. A man was tied to a
On the autopsy table, the albino patient with a painful expression and undergoing electric shock was the same one they saw the day they first came to the asylum.
The content of the report is that the God of Truth has punished the traitors of Korosa. The genetic disease carried by this patient is one of the symptoms. At the same time, many dwarfs, lame and blind people have appeared among the evil Korosa people.
, God’s punishment has not only appeared, but will eventually spread to all sinners.
"Don't they have any cripples among themselves?" Bai Song muttered.
An empty dissecting table, a sealed room, and empty filing cabinets.
These things all indicate that the Oak Valley Asylum has been abandoned.
Did the activities of these people end due to some accident, or has the Oak Valley Asylum completed its mission?
"Here." Yu Feichen finally found an iron brazier under a table. In addition to charcoal residue, there were some burnt pieces of paper in the basin.
They rummaged through the ashes and found that some fragments had not been completely burned, and scattered writings remained.
Excluding some meaningless related words and difficult-to-understand professional terms, there are only a few words left that can be read.
"Success...Korosa...end...purify...sin," Bai Song read out those things slowly, "...smile?"
No one knows the logic behind these words.
"In the future, they destroyed the evidence of their crimes and then left here." When they left here, Bai Song climbed through the window and said, "What about us prisoners? Have we been released?"
They jumped out one by one.
——The gray cylindrical building suddenly appeared in front of them, exuding a ghost-like color in the mist.
As you get closer, you can see the unique color of fresh cement on its surface. Its incongruous texture and color show that this is not the original building of the chemical plant, but a new addition after the Oak Valley Chemical Plant was transformed into the Oak Valley Asylum.
building.
Bai Song suddenly trembled all over.
"What is that?" he said.
The chemistry teacher answered him in a low voice: "It's an incinerator. Haven't you seen it behind the funeral home?"
There was silence for a moment, and everyone thought of the cloud-like white smoke they saw in the brick kiln during the day.
The monk's breathing increased several times.
"This is God's warning to us," he said with a trembling voice, "God... God is sending a prophecy. He gave me the eyes to see the future for a short time. He is warning us to stay away from this sinful place..."
His eyes moved around uneasily, and he shouted as if grasping at straws: "There is a door there!"
In the southeast corner, at the end of the wall, there is indeed an iron gate.
Like all iron doors, if it is not locked, the latch can be pulled from the inside to open it.
With a creak, the monk pushed the door open with trembling hands.
The iron gate is open, and outside is the mist-filled rolling wilderness, and the oak mountain standing like a black shadow not far away.
Yu Feichen put his hand on the monk's shoulder and turned him around forcefully.
"Go back." He led the monk back and said, "It's night now. I'm not sure about the consequences of going out."
Bai Song and the chemistry teacher stared deeply at the door, then turned and left with them.
Yu Feichen looked ahead, the route had been figured out, all he needed to do next was——
The butter lamp burned to the end, and with a pop, the fire went out, and complete darkness enveloped them.
The monk's thin body suddenly burst out with unimaginable power at this moment, and his clothes were ripped apart with a squeak. His short body was freed from Yu Feichen's hands. He yelled incomprehensible words while facing the iron door.
Running wildly in the direction——
The fog outside the door swallowed him up in an instant.
"Hey, you!" Bai Song was about to call him, when he heard the man's voice and disappeared suddenly.
Outside the door, the mist rolled quietly, as if no one had ever gone out.
They stared in that direction blankly.
A hint of gray before sunrise appeared on the horizon.
"Let's go!" Yu Feichen's voice was much colder than before.
They returned to the barracks before dawn. The blond man and the big-nosed man had returned, and the little man was still in his original position, safe and sound.
