Chapter 49 Molotov cocktail

I saw that although Ding Si-Tian had inhaled a limited amount of poison, and was now in a fairly stable condition, able to walk and move around, and her mind was still awake, but the early symptoms of this poisoning had appeared after all, and if we went out from the northern pass of the Hundred Eyes Cave, we would be at the edge of the unpopulated desert, even further away from the pasture area, even if we didn’t make a detour like that, and in the absence of a horse, we would not have enough time to get her into a hospital, and in the event that the poison she had been poisoned with came on in a shorter time, how could we be better? And what if the poison she was suffering from flared up in a shorter period of time? Moreover, who can guarantee that the journey will be safe and not go wrong?

I locked my brows tightly, took a look at the map, and immediately made up my mind: “The brocade scale flycatcher is specially raised by the ghost research institute, they are researching for the treatment of soldiers injured by the flycatcher poison in the Pacific battlefield, there might be antidote serum in this research institute, this possibility is very big, it’s hard to seek for a light body without taking three risks, the only way to get back to heaven is to gamble on it, go to the main research building to look for the antidote serum, it’s a great possibility. one hand and go to the main research building to look for the antidote.”

In the end the fat man and the old sheepskin both agreed to this plan, hoping to send her into the hospital to save her is simply unrealistic, Ting Si-Tian to entrust her life to us is also completely at ease, this seems to be risky, but there is really no more choice, the best choice, often in the case of no choice to make a choice.

In order not to bring too much psychological pressure to Dinsitian, I did not show too much haste, after confirming the route, still according to the normal speed forward, anyway, from the map to see the distance of the main research building is not that far, the speed is also too late to slow down, if there is no antidote for serums in the research building, then everything will be all over, I am vaguely afraid of my heart, always thinking about in case there is no antidote? And who among us could recognize the antidote? In the end, I simply put my heart across and stopped thinking about it, fucking anyway, I don’t want to see the coffin, I don’t want to die until I see the Yellow River.

Not long after, we entered a very open underground waterway, here there are many rows of cement pipes than liaison, walking in front of the fat man suddenly stepped on something, cursing and lifting his foot in the black water, revealing a few rotten dead bones from the sewage, half of the leg bone under the hanging shoe, I was about to look at the bottom, but in the darkness, I found that we are in the cement pipe suddenly rotated.

From the Russians drew the map of the Institute, the huge underground drainage facilities, in fact, is an artificial diversion of the underground river, it is due to the hollow in the hundred-eyed cave dug out a large amount of groundwater, geological environment can not be constructed to divert water, only the use of cobwebbed drainage pipe will lead it out of the mountain, otherwise the groundwater will be flooded with this area above our heads, this secret research facilities will not be able to be constructed in the current location. The secret research facility could not be built in its current location.

But now the underground drainage channel is about to dry up, only some sewage sludge is left, I think that the water source in the mountain has long been dried up, the underground waterway is divided into two parts, one part is completely closed, and the other half belongs to the semi-closed type, which can be used as an evacuation channel in times of emergencies, if you want to get close to the main research building, the nearest route is to pass through the semi-closed pipeline area, where the environment is complicated and the network of pipes are intertwined as a maze, it would be very difficult without this map to find a way to get out. Without this map, it would be difficult to find the exit.

We held up the torch for the road, to a ditch pipe interlaced open hub area, where the four walls are black, sewage sludge is extremely large, the water a variety of mayfly organisms breeding, is located in the center of the underground waterway, looking to reach the destination, but found in the black water at the bottom of the pipe there are many bones, look at those who have not rotted off clothing, it is likely to be the guards of the Japanese Army’s secret research institute, fat man! Pinched his nose with his feet and rattled those already rotted dead bones, we see the situation can not help but think: “How can there be ghosts in the pipeline corpses?” I was about to see what was going on, but I realized that the pipe I was in shook violently, and for a while it seemed like the sky was spinning.

But this is only the illusion of the eyes, feet but no shaking feeling, we raised the torch looked up, the four were stunned by the scene in front of us, a meter away in front of the wall of the pipe, black covered with cockroaches, these cockroaches black dumplings color are, back long wings, large and amazing, the body length is in the three or four centimeters or so, one next to another, densely packed in between the thousands of numbers will be the entire wall are covered, these large cockroaches, back long wings, big amazing, body length in about three or four centimeters, one next to one, densely packed between the thousands of numbers will be the whole wall is covered. Covered, these large cockroaches are afraid to be stimulated by certain ingredients in the sewage, not only is the body shape larger than ordinary half, they are also able to rely on each other to nibble on the bodies of their companions, as well as into this section of the sewer rats and tide worms and other organisms to maintain life.

These cockroaches were originally lurking motionless, slowly biting and devouring each other, at this time there was a small portion of the fire and footsteps by the alarm, they immediately jumped up quickly, a chain reaction in an instant, the entire pipeline cockroaches seem to be boiling boiling water, headless everywhere rushing and fleeing, the pipe wall turned into a stream of black tide, there are a lot of them fell from the pipe wall, we are all the head on the shoulders immediately fell a layer.

I want to greet the crowd to run back, but this effort is not only who can not care who, and no one dares to open their mouths to speak, squeezing down the large and small cockroaches to the torches are almost extinguished, fell on the human body crawling everywhere, a mouth may be drilled into the mouth of a few, and small cockroaches see the cracks, drilling into the ears and nose can not stand it can follow the ears have been crawling into the human brain, so we can only each desperate to drop on the top of the head and shoulders of the cockroaches. The cockroaches jumped up very fast.

Cockroaches leap extremely fast, we run is no place to run, had to swing the torch in the hand to drive them away, hoping that these cockroaches quickly dispersed, the crowd was a little bit calm, from just facing a large group of cockroaches formed in the black tide back to the spirit, and do their best to use all the guys can use, finally the use of torches to make the tide of cockroaches from the side of the dispersal.

Not long after, the cockroaches in the pipeline gradually reduced down, I free hand, for Ding Sisian and old sheepskin dial off the cockroaches on the body, the four people’s faces have changed, would rather let the evil ghosts asked for the soul to go, do not want to be buried alive by the cockroaches full of bites, fat man said to us: “While the cockroaches scattered, let’s hurry to rush over … …”

Fatty’s words did not fall, only to hear the old sheepskin screamed, his body suddenly sunk down, was dragged to the ground by a thing in the sewage, Dinsi sweet and I found wrong, reached out to yank him, but dragged the old sheepskin of the force is very great, although I grabbed the old sheepskin’s arm, but by the huge force of the pull, the soles of the feet was taken to a stagger, almost fell in the muck.

Ding Si sweet is not as lucky as me, she grabbed the old sheepskin lapel, want to stop the old sheepskin was pulled backward momentum, but arm strength is limited, coupled with slippery feet unsteady, slipped and fell to the ground, but she has not been scattered, with the old sheepskin with the old sheepskin was dragged to the darkness of the sewers, this time the fat man has pulled out that the southern fourteen-style pistol, I see the darkness in the darkness can not see the target is easy to be mistakenly injured, and look at this strength of the guy also can not be small. guy also can not be small, the heart wants to understand the origin of these body bones, it is likely that some people in the event of an accident when they want to escape from this, but encountered something deadly, were the result of the stinking ditch, in order to save the people can not hesitate at all, otherwise waiting for the two people to collect the corpse, so pulled out the KangXi sword, the fat man called out: “Do not shoot, throw the torch forward. ” With those words, he rushed up with an arrow step.

The old sheepskin and Ding Sishen’s torch fell to the ground when it fell in the mud extinguished, we in order to economize on the revolution, did not bother to use the Russian engineer lighting cylinder, just use the furniture and clothes in his room and made a number of improvised torches, this torch has its advantages and disadvantages, if there are insects and scorpions and centipedes in the tunnels, playing the torch far away from them can be dispersed, and you can judge the air quality of the harmlessness of the people, but the disadvantage is that the range of illumination But the disadvantage is that the range of illumination is very limited, only a few steps in front of me, a little farther away will not be able to see.

I carry a knife in one hand and hold a torch in the other hand to chase after them, I had to let the fat man behind him to throw his torch forward as a short-term flare, using the torch to see the situation of more than ten meters in front before it landed and extinguished, as soon as I started, the torch behind me flew out from the shoulder, drew a low parabola in the pitch-black space, and then fell into the sludge ahead of the pipe to extinguish it.

But with the flash of firelight, I could already see that just a few paces ahead of me, there was a large gap between the pipes on the ground, nearly a meter in diameter, deep inside, from which several thick black arthropods with hooked claws, covered in black hair, were dragging Ting Si-Shiang and Old Sheepskin towards the large crack in the pipe.

The old sheepskin lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, I don’t know whether he was injured or not, he struggled hard to get rid of it, but he couldn’t use his strength, the cannon was pressed under his body, and he couldn’t release the cannon even if he wanted to do so, Dinsi sweet fell on the ground and dragged the old sheepskin by his clothes, and gritted her teeth and dragged her backward, but it didn’t help at all, and even she was dragged in quickly.

I stepped on the dead cockroaches all over the place, a step on the creak, three steps and two steps to the front, only to see clearly seized the old sheepskin is a big money string, money string than centipedes and centipedes body shape to be much wider, and fewer pairs of feet, but the hooked claws are wider and longer, the body of the maximum length of two meters long, the drain pipe in the gap in the deep and broad, the money string was taken as a lair, due to fear of flames, and only want to drag the old sheepskin to the lower level of the drain pipe, the old sheepskin, the old sheepskin. dragged to the lower level of the drainpipe.

I rushed to the front, and by the light of the fire in my hand, I found that the sides of that abyss-like crevice were full of human bones, and deep down there were a few frighteningly large cockroaches crawling back and forth. Saving people’s heart, did not care to take a closer look, waved up the long knife and cut down, wanting to swing this half shrunken in the hole of the big money string in two, to save the old sheepskin and Ding Sishen down.

Unexpectedly, the money string action is also very fast, my knife in the air, it will drag the old sheepskin to the hole, this knife if cut solid, not only can not chop it, but will be the old sheepskin chopped, I see the big deal, hurriedly threw the torch towards the hole in, but the cave in the yin and tide of the gas is too prevalent, the torch shook on the dampness to beat the extinction of the darkness, I flopped on the ground, reaching out to hold the old sheepskin, want to force to hold up the mouth of the cave, but the crack is a meter wide. More than a meter wide, but I did not expect the money string of force, long black hair hook claws a pull, along with me and the old sheepskin Dinsi sweet have half of the body into the hole.

Dinsi sweet in the chaos opened hanging on the chest of the engineer lighting tube, shaking column of light, the old sheepskin with his hands to hold up a dead skeleton, the rotten bones dead stuck in the side of the tube wall in the narrow cracks, he desperately old life to hold up, slightly slowing down the three of us continue to be ripped into the momentum of the hole, I see in front of the eyes of all the saving of the insect foot, want to use a long knife to cut, why the terrain is narrow difficult to perform, had to reach out to the hole in the knife mess! Za, every knife on a yellow water splash, I’m afraid of this insect liquid poisonous, buried his face in the back of the old sheepskin, but the hand is not stopping at all.

Though most of the knife stabbed the money string, but not deep enough to be fatal, and this thing is very strong vitality, even if it is cut off a few cuts, a moment and a half can not die, Ding Sishen was dragged in the end, at this time has been sprawled out, grabbed me and the old sheepskin out of the dead force to pull back, I and the old sheepskin’s shoulders and arms were hooked by the insect foot, and in the narrow gap between the constraints, hands and feet can not do a large amount of Action, although a moment and a half, can still be frozen not to be dragged into the hole, but never a long-term solution, with their own strength to get out of the impossible, I suddenly felt a leg was Ding Sishen hold back, but her power is thin difficult to help, I was impatient, cursing the fat man how to not come over to help.

Is this dilemma when, just heard someone behind me shouted: “poor peasants do not worry, I give you cocktails to come!” I and the old sheepskin one side barely support, one side with the long knife to check the hook claws poking out of the hole, heard the shout behind us know is the fat man came up, but he shouted what to send cocktails and so on, completely unaware of the cloud, but at this critical juncture, I do not know what he is going to do again.

It turns out that the fat man also knows that knives and guns and so on is difficult to immediately kill that money string, open the engineer’s flare tube tied to his chest, and at the same time rushed up from the back, he pulled out the bottle of spirits that he had shunned from the Russians from his bag, and haphazardly stuffed a handful of pills in it, and then blocked the bottle’s opening with the cotton sock that had shunned out, and then lit it and handed it to Ding Sishen, and then carried me and the old goat-skin’s waistband, and as soon as he did so, he ripped the first half of our bodies out of the hole. ripped out of the hole.

The money string in the hole was also brought out a cut, it saw the mouth of the food went out again, which would be willing to give up, was trying to drag it back again, at this time the fat man in the hands of the Wang Ba box fired two shots, hit it body shrink, Ding Sisian saw the opportunity to put the bottle of burning spirits smashed into the hole, the Russians drank wine in the mouth with the knife like, the concentration of alcohol is extremely high, coupled with the inside of the chemical tablets, and may have played the role of a The role of accelerant, suddenly the flames rose, under the cracks of the drainpipe became a sea of fire, burned which cockroaches and money strings and other things in disarray, I do not know how many wriggling and struggling to die under the tongue of fire.

The fat man made the flask, is when we when the rebels armed struggle as well as the Red Guards to engage in the impact of the once used, but that time spirits are not good to find, most of the use of gasoline or industrial alcohol, and then add combustion aids instead of the formula is also adapted to suit the local conditions, to catch up with what to use what, this kind of multi-burning substances mixed composition of the flask, the earliest Soviet-Finnish War to the Second World War had been widely used, known as the Molotov cocktails, I Look at myself and the old sheepskin although rubbed some flesh, the body bruised a few bruises, but all nothing serious, this time the head is a blank, and there is no afterthought.

I looked at the cracks under the burning cave, the fire light gradually darkened, was not burned cockroaches began to crawl in the crevices in the crawl out, look at the heart of the numbness, who do not want to delay this more, so four people to help each other to continue to the depths of the advance, this underground waterway in the crisis, we are worried about the underground waterway in the waterway, there are other dangers, look at the map on the signs near an exit, can lead to the ground, has been very close to the research building, so speed up the pace towards there! So we accelerated our pace towards there, even if it is a slight detour, we don’t intend to take a shortcut in this drainage pipe where there are more and more tide bugs and cockroaches.

The corner of the drainpipe, there is embedded in the cement wall of a section of iron ladder, fat man first climbed up, push open the concrete cover, outside the sky is already bright, followed by Ding Sishen also climbed up the iron ladder, the old sheepskin God is not ready to the third up, I saw him look gloomy, but not like just because of a shock, he is usually silent, always a pair of heavy heart after a long and difficult time. Look, idle time is not fierce smoking pot is to sing the old home of the sour song, into this 100 eyes cave is often sigh, sometimes it is hard to get up the spirit, after a long time there will be gloomy lost, I think he is likely to learn that year his brother goat two eggs of the truth of what happened to the original is harmed by the Japanese here, and at the beginning of the time he was due to superstitious ideological constraints, did not dare to go out to the people to save them down, so so far Can not forget, will be able to appreciate his feelings, especially the incinerator may have burned his own brother’s body, touching the scene, how can not let the heart sad?

So I in order to show sympathy, in the old sheepskin climbed the iron ladder, patted the old sheepskin’s shoulder, comfort him: “I understand your feelings, I see your brother’s matter don’t think too much about it, after all, it is the past, people still have to think about it, we have to look forward to everything.”

The old sheepskin probably see me young, said this kind of words to make him very surprised, he climbed up and asked me: “You know what I think of what? I can only this one brother ah, you baby family has a few brothers?”

I thought I was the only child in my family, unlike the socialist family that was popular at the time, there were no other biological brothers and sisters, but this can not be said, so I said to the old sheepskin, “You have to think of it this way, the world’s suffering people, are our class brothers.”

Said I also climbed up the shaft, outside is already the color of the sky, fat man and Ding Sistern have turned off the engineer lighting cylinder, but the two and the old sheepskin surveyed the surroundings, all look different, I also followed their gaze, could not help but be suddenly stunned, how is this place so familiar?
