While Xiao Ran and the others were exploring, the filthy air in this underground space was being rapidly replaced.
In a short time, the air in the secret passage and underground chamber had been completely replaced.
Instead, there is fresh air from the outside world.
The air environment in the spiral secret tunnel and underground chamber has become the same as that in the basement above.
Even so, Xiao Ran and the others still did not take off their gas masks to prevent the sealed underground space from being discovered again.
In the blink of an eye, they had walked three or four meters down the spiral staircase and rounded two turns in succession.
On every step they walked, there were only two footprints.
Ma Wen carefully followed the footprints left by Xiao Ran, not daring to make a wrong step.
After only walking three or four meters down, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling terrified.
What frightened him were the deadly traps on the walls on both sides of the stairs.
A large number of deadly weapons are arranged in those randomly distributed holes.
There are javelins, crossbows, grenades, various guns, etc., each of which can kill someone.
The only ones that are not threatening may be those antique firearms that are eighty or ninety years old.
Under the erosion of the long years, those guns may have been scrapped and can no longer be fired.
But this is just speculation. Whether this is really the case, no one knows!
While walking, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped and turned to look at the wall outside the stairs.
It can be clearly seen under the illumination of searchlights.
There is a small niche on the wall outside the spiral staircase.
What was placed in the niche was not a statue or a wall lamp, but a wrench connected to the wall.
Although eighty or ninety years have passed, there is no rust on this wrench, only a layer of dust and moss.
When the light shines on it, it still radiates metallic luster.
Obviously, this wrench has been treated with an anti-rust process to maintain it in this condition.
Not only that, many metal items in this secret passage have been treated with anti-rust processes.
The purpose is simple, to prevent these metal items from rusting and make the traps here effective for a long time.
Xiao Ran looked at the situation in the niche and then explained.
"The wrench in the niche is the key to controlling the traps above."
"As long as this wrench is under the board, all the traps above can be released, making them temporarily lose their threat."
"This wrench has a hidden secret. If you don't know how to operate it and operate it rashly, you will definitely be seeking death!"
"If you operate the wrench incorrectly, the trap here will be triggered instantly and you will encounter a fatal attack."
As he spoke, he looked up at the top of the stairs and the wall on the other side.
Wherever the light hits, several fist-sized holes appear immediately on the wall.
In those holes, there were black muzzles, javelin heads with a dark luster, and what seemed to be two grenades.
After quickly checking the situation, Xiao Ran began to introduce.
"There seem to be two Thompson submachine guns and two grenades arranged in the round holes on the right. The muzzles of the Thompson submachine guns are quite special."
"In the round hole above my head, there are three sharp javelins. These things are facing my position."
"If I don't know how to operate a wrench and touch it rashly, I will be beaten into a hornet's nest and nailed here in an instant!"
"ah!"
There were exclamations in the basement and live broadcast room at the same time, and everyone was frightened.
Especially Yi Lian and Fang Yufei, their faces were pale.
However, they did not dare to scream loudly for fear of disturbing Xiao Ran, so they could only cover their mouths tightly with their hands.
"Holy shit! This is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den! It's so damn dangerous!"
"The guy who designed and arranged these traps is definitely a madman."
Bishui Hantao said with a breath of cold air.
"In other words, Xiao Ran only got here because he had a treasure map in his hand."
"If someone else had entered this secret passage, they probably wouldn't have survived for five seconds!"
Boring Life continued.
The others echoed, each with their heart in their throats.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly reached out his right hand into the niche and held the wrench.
But he raised the explosion-proof police shield with his left hand and carried the shield behind his back to protect his head and back.
Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath for a moment, not even daring to breathe out.
The next moment, Xiao Ran pushed the wrench into the niche with force.
Following his movements, a rattling sound of mechanical rotation was immediately heard from the wall.
This sound sounds very raw, a little scary, and creepy!
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran pulled the wrench back to its original position.
The sound of the machine rotating inside the wall was still coming out.
This wasn't the end yet, Xiao Ran pulled the wrench outward again, all the way to the bottom.
As the wrench fell to the bottom, the sound of the machinery inside the wall turning suddenly stopped.
"It's done. The traps on the stairs above have all been removed. There is no danger anymore."
Xiao Ran took a long breath and said with relief.
Marvin and everyone else were stunned and did not give any reaction.
Everyone in the basement and live broadcast room felt a chill running down their backs and was terrified.
After a while, everyone woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the basement and live broadcast room exploded at the same time.
"Holy shit! This wrench's operating method is like this, who would have imagined it?"
"If another person were to come up here, they would be beaten into a hornet's nest in minutes!"
Murong Xiaolong exclaimed while chewing the tooth flower seeds.
"If it were me, I would die without entering this secret passage. It would be like a desperate situation!"
"In my opinion, just drive the excavator and demolish it. Why bother?"
Chasing the Stars continued.
While talking, Xiao Ran suddenly stepped back two or three steps, and then stood still.
"Marvin, please exit this secret passage first. I'm going to do an experiment to see if the trap here has failed."
"Only when it is confirmed that these traps are ineffective can other workers come in to arrange lighting facilities and clean the ground."
"Okay, Sean."
Marvin responded and immediately retreated to the stairs.
When exiting the stairs, he still followed the same footsteps as before, not daring to make any mistakes.
In the blink of an eye, he had withdrawn from the secret passage.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran held the explosion-proof police shield in front of him, and then stretched his feet to step on another piece of granite next to him.
Following his actions, everyone held their breath for a moment.
However, nothing happened and the secret passage remained quiet.
The next moment, Xiao Ran raised his foot and stepped on another stone without footprints.
The footsteps fell, but there was still no movement.
"call!"
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Especially Elaine and Fang Yufei, they all felt relieved.
"Marvin, you can come down now. The control system in this secret passage is still effective."
"The traps on the spiral stairs above have all been safely closed."
"Nick, get ready. When Marvin and I get to the bottom, you will come down to clean the steps and arrange lighting fixtures."
Xiao Ran said through the intercom.
Before he finished speaking, Marvin and the others had already given a response.
"Copy that, Sean."
In a moment, Marvin came down and came behind Xiao Ran.
Nick and the others who were staying in the billiard room were also making preparations, and they were all very excited.
Soon, Xiao Ran started again with the explosion-proof police shield and continued walking down the spiral staircase.
About fifteen minutes later, he and Marvin had successfully reached the bottom of the stairs.
All the traps on this spiral staircase have been closed by him, and there is no longer a threat.
However, the secret room that everyone expected did not appear.
What appeared in front of Xiao Ran and the others was a dark corridor sloping downward.
This corridor is about fifteen meters long, about one and a half meters wide, and two and a half meters high, extending eastward at a thirty-degree angle.
It can be seen clearly with the help of the searchlight beam.
At the end of the corridor, there is a closed arch.
And behind that arch, there may be a secret room full of treasures that are expected to be hidden.
Just like the spiral staircase we just passed.
The walls and dome on both sides of this corridor are densely covered with a large number of holes like a hornet's nest.
No need to think about it, there are also many traps here, and they are even more dangerous.
Xiao Ran, standing at the entrance of the corridor, carefully observed the situation here.
It was the first time for him to see everything here, and he didn't understand what dangers were hidden here or how to pass safely.
But it doesn't matter, he has clairvoyance powers, which is enough to see through all illusions.
Under perspective, everything in this corridor was clearly presented to his eyes in an instant.
After standing there and observing for two or three minutes, he suddenly squatted down and looked at the ground in the corridor.
Although there is a layer of dust and moss on this ground, fortunately it is not very thick, and the stone floor can still be seen.
On this ground, there seemed to be chaotic numbers carved one after another.
There is a number on each floor, and at first glance, there is no pattern at all.
Xiao Ran looked at the numbers and then fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said:
"Go through this corridor, and then open the door at the end of the corridor, which is the secret room hiding the treasure."
"However, it is not easy to pass through this tunnel safely. There are many deadly traps here."
"Unlike the previous spiral stairs, there are many traps here. These traps will never fail and are very deadly."
"Compared to the spiral staircase, this corridor is more dangerous. Once you go wrong, there is no possibility of retreating."
After hearing his explanation, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Then, Marvin asked curiously:
"Sean, what's going on with these numbers on the ground? There doesn't seem to be any pattern to these numbers."
"Is the method of passing through this corridor hidden in these chaotic numbers?"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and gave a positive answer.
"There is indeed no pattern in these numbers. If you want to pass through this corridor safely, you can only find the answer in these numbers!"
