Without spending too much time here, after carefully closing the door of the power station, the three of them followed the map in their hands and began to explore this secret fortress bit by bit.
It didn't take long for them to find a passage that was still dark.
"What's going on?" Wang Kaixuan looked in with a flashlight and asked doubtfully.
Hu Bayi looked up and guessed: "There may be something wrong with the wiring here, so the lights inside are not on."
"Let's go, let's get rid of all the ghosts and monsters, and get rid of the deep-rooted darkness in front of us!" When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he wanted to go in and take a look.
It is bright all the way along, but this passage has not changed at the moment, so we must go in and investigate.
Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi had no objections. Since they had decided to completely clear out the underground fortress, there was no reason to let the passage in front of them go.
Immediately, Wang Kaixuan walked in front with a knife and a gun, Chen Ziyan was in the middle to provide support, and Hu Bayi was responsible for the rear. The three of them walked into the passage one by one.
This is an upward sloping passage that turns into upward steps after walking a hundred meters.
As they stepped onto the steps, the passage became narrower and narrower. When they reached the back, even Chen Ziyan, who was following Wang Kaixuan, could no longer see clearly the situation in front, and his sight was strictly blocked by Wang Kaixuan.
After continuing to walk for a while, Wang Kaixuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, and then whispered to the two people behind him: "Don't move!"
Chen Ziyan had already guessed what was going on inside, so naturally he wouldn't move at this time.
However, Hu Bayi was a little curious and asked in a low voice: "Little Fatty, what did you see?"
Wang Kaixuan was worried that he would disturb the bats inside, so he did not respond immediately. He did not say until he returned to the steps:
"There are all big bats in there, and they are densely covered with bats."
"Big bat?" Hu Bayi frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the two of them: "You guys wait here, I'll go see what's going on!"
Then he took out the flashlight and lowered his steps to walk up the steps again, wanting to see with his own eyes what was going on.
"Wait, Lao Hu!" But before he could take two steps, Chen Ziyan followed with Wang Kaixuan.
Chen Ziyan knew that the soul of the boy who was buried with him would appear here, so how could he trust Hu Bayi to act alone.
In fact, Chen Ziyan should have stopped Hu Bayi, but thinking of the pair of suffering children buried with him, he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.
Now that we're here, let's find a way to clean out those pig-faced bats and take the buried boy out of the secret room for burial.
"That's okay, let's all be alert." Hu Bayi didn't refuse, just reminded him and moved on.
We returned to the end of the steps, but this time it was Hu Bayi who took the lead.
In order to avoid disturbing the bats inside, Hu Bayi deliberately found a roll of gauze and covered it in front of the flashlight to reduce the brightness of the light.
After doing this, he tiptoed and looked inside.
When Hu Bayi used the faint light to see the scene in front of him clearly, he felt his scalp numb and thought to himself that no wonder the fat man was so frightened that he retreated.
What is in front of you is a semi-natural and semi-artificial stone chamber. Although the specific scale cannot be seen due to the light, but based on the visual range, you can know that the area of the stone chamber must be quite large.
On the stone walls and cave ceiling covered with green moss, there were countless giant bats hanging upside down.
The size of this bat is far larger than what is usually seen, and its cheeks are extremely long. Under the straight, diamond-shaped ears, there is a round head and nose, which looks like a pig's head.
The moment he saw the whole bat, Hu Bayi recognized him. He had seen such a bat before when he was working on projects in Kunlun Mountain.
The scientific name of this kind of bat is the leaf-mouthed bright-toothed bat, also known as the big pig-faced bat. It is bloodthirsty and carnivorous by nature. It is a rare and vicious species among bats.
On weekdays, they live in dark caves under the grassland, and at night they hunt cattle, sheep and other livestock.
It was once a disaster in Outer Mongolia, but it has become rare in recent years. He thought it was extinct, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.
The moment he figured out the origin of these bats, Hu Bayi's first thought was to leave. There were probably nearly a thousand big pig-faced bats in this place, and it would be troublesome to wake them up.
Even if you want to eradicate these guys, you have to do it slowly.
"ah--"
But before Hu Bayi could make any move, a sharp child's howl resounded throughout the stone room.
The moment the howl sounded, the big pig-faced bats hanging upside down in the stone chamber all opened their bloodthirsty eyes and exposed their mouths full of fangs towards him.
"Depend on!"
Hu Bayi cursed secretly when he saw this, and no longer lowered his tone, he quickly shouted behind him: "Get out of here!"
At this moment, some impatient pig-faced bats could no longer hold themselves back and swooped towards him first.
Seeing that the big pig-faced bat was about to pounce, Hu Ba pulled the trigger without thinking.
Da da da--
The hot and swift rain of bullets instantly swept those pig-faced bats into pieces.
Taking advantage of this gap, the three of them quickly retreated towards the bottom of the steps.
After they gave way to the exit of the stone chamber, the big pig-faced bats, which were completely agitated by the gunshots, actually swarmed towards the exit of the stone chamber.
"Fat man, Mr. Chen, you retreat first, I'll cover you!" Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi quickly shot back to stop him.
"Lao Hu, quickly retreat to the steps, let's close the door and beat them up!"
Chen Ziyan looked at the dense swarm of bats, and in the blink of an eye he had an idea, and quickly shouted to Hu Bayi who was lagging behind.
If so many pig-faced bats entered a complex underground fortress, it would be even more difficult to deal with them.
So they have to intercept them here to save them from having to worry about it later.
It just so happened that they were in a suitable position at this time, which not only ensured that the three of them had sufficient range of activities, but also suppressed the number of pig-faced bats pouring out.
Although Chen Ziyan didn't say it clearly, Hu Bayi understood what he meant immediately. He immediately made a tactical roll out of the range of the steps, and then shouted to Wang Kaixuan: "Little Fatty, cross fire!"
"good!"
Wang Kaixuan, who was originally afraid of accidentally injuring Hu Bayi, pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand after seeing Hu Bayi get out of the way, and formed a crossfire net with Hu Bayi.
Chen Ziyan did not have a firearm in his hand, but he did not watch the show from the side. Instead, he took out his long stick and stood between the two to provide support.
Kill the scattered pig-faced bats that luckily broke through the fire net, and at the same time cover the two men to change their magazines.
Da da da--
For a moment, gun flames continued and bullets flashed, illuminating the dark passage in and out.
The sound of gunfire, the sound of shells being ejected, the sound of bullet shells falling to the ground, and the sound of long sticks breaking through the air were all mixed together, creating a strange movement full of gunpowder smoke.
