Zhang Chuxun continued: "The mountains around the Zhangjia Ancient Building are all volcanic rocks that can prevent Milotuo from melting, so they can't get in here, but the heat emitted by our bodies can still be felt by them, and slowly Come together."
"The entire setting of the ancient building is a large-scale mechanism. A structure similar to an air pump is designed at the most critical position. Through the pipes interspersed in the building, the alkali gas can be pushed back into all spaces."
"When Miloduo gathers together, the air pressure in the surrounding rock cavity will change. The internal and external air pressure will be different, and the alkaline gas from the outside will be squeezed in. The mechanical pipes only play the role of transmitting gas."
The alkaline gas is not only a facility to expel Milotuo, but also kills all the creatures in the ancient building. Only the Zhang family who came to pay tribute can find a temporary shelter to hide.
Huo Chushi raised his doubts at the right time, "In that case, this mechanism that releases alkali gas is an indiscriminate attack. Master Yu, wouldn't you also be unable to get out?"
"That's right." Zhang Zhuoxun said casually, "The Zhang family building is the home of all Zhang family members. It is a natural grave. There is nothing wrong with dying here."
Huo Chushi was speechless and choked, still a little unbelievable, but looking at the indifferent expressions on the faces of Zhang Zhuxun and the younger brother, it seemed that they really thought this.
Everyone began to feel anxious again, "Is there really no other way for us to survive?"
"Uh-huh." Zhang Zhuxun took out a candy from his pocket, opened it, and said slowly, "Didn't Comrade Huo Xiaoyao, the great prophet who was killed by you, say before that we all have to die here."
"Then what's the use of staying here?" The Huo family shouted in collapse, "Anyway, we will die sooner or later."
"Extend the shelf life." Zhang Zhu pointed to the black window paper on the wall, "At least I can enjoy the process of death, and I can also give you time to write your last words."
"You..." The Huo family almost made him angry to death, so they simply stopped talking to him and huddled in the corner, trying to slow down their breathing.
Zhang Zhuxun glanced at the time on his watch and decided to take a nap first.
When you wake up from sleep, maybe everything will come to an end.
I thought I would sleep for a long time, but when Zhang Zhuxun opened his eyes again, he found that only more than four hours had passed.
The Huo family members stayed quietly in the corner. When they saw Zhang Zhuxun standing up, there was no wave on his face. The initial anxiety had passed, and they had obviously accepted the fact that they would die.
Huo Chushi even divided the food into two portions, moved the largest portion to Zhang Shuxun, and said in a low voice: "Although you don't say it, I know you have a way to keep yourself alive. Maybe these foods can Let you hold on longer.”
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at him quietly and said nothing.
Huo Chushi smiled, with a kind of relief on his face that he had seen through life and death, "We are actually not the Huo family with blood ties. Without the head of the family, the nine of us would have died more than 20 years ago. After living for so many years, I have made some money.”
"Our lives are sold to the head of the family. If the head of the house can't get out, it will be meaningless even if we go out. If possible, please take her bones out of here and hand them over to Miss Xiuxiu."
The rest of the Huo family kept their acquiescence to his words. They actually didn't care about death, but they were a little regretful that their death was so meaningless. If a bullet was shot out of thin air at this time, they would definitely block the gun for Huo Xiangu without hesitation.
Zhang Zhuxun remained silent, saying nothing, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
When he didn't get a response, Huo Chushi's eyes flashed with disappointment. He sighed regretfully, placed his last bag of compressed biscuits on the pile of food, turned around and went to watch over Mrs. Huo.
"Brother, please rest for a while." Zhang Zhuo said to the younger brother who had been sitting quietly on the edge, staring up at the ceiling.
The little brother nodded, leaned against the wall with the knife, closed his eyes, and breathed long and slow.
Zhang Zhu listened to the cyclic clicking sound of the watch's second hand and silently calculated in his mind where the plot was going.
Wu Xiaoxie should have discovered that there was something wrong with the password at this time. He had already put on the mask of his third uncle. Xie Yuchen, Pan Zi and the others rushed to the mountain of Banai. In addition to the time of gathering people and traveling, it would take three people at the fastest. It takes four days to get here.
Jude Kao's advance team might have already come in, otherwise the Milotuos wouldn't be so crazy.
With the map he drew in advance, Fatty should be able to get out much faster than in the original plot, and he won't be stuck in a crack in the wall until his waist is thin from hunger.
This time the alkali gas will be released for a long time, covering the entire Zhangjia Ancient Building area within twenty-four hours. It is not known how long it will be released in the future.
Because in the next few days, after hearing that something happened to his little brother inside, Judekao would send people in again to look for what he wanted. Huo Youxue and the others who were guarding outside were not fuel-efficient lamps. They could only make sure that Mrs. Huo was thorough. If they die here and bring the evidence out, their fight for power will be justified and they will not be criticized by the other nine sects.
At that time, the ancient building will turn into a man-eating monster building. The more people come in, the more Milotuo will gather, and the more alkaline gas will be generated. It is simply a vicious cycle.
Even if Jie Yuchen and Pan Zi came in first with the map, they would definitely encounter danger under the interference of many forces. Milotuo is as uncontrollable as the heartbeat. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary Miluotuo, but Zhang Zhu is looking for the most What he was afraid of was that being too popular would bring out the Miluo Tuo ancestors under the ancient building. That nightmare kept a tight string in his heart.
We have to find a way to lure all the Milatoos to a corner of the ancient building, so that they will not run into high-level Milatoos when they come in, and at the same time, they will not trigger the fatal alkali mechanism. .
And there is a very strange thing. The person hiding in the team has never been found. He knows too many secrets of the Zhang Family Ancient Building. He must not be allowed to escape alive. He must take advantage of this period of hiding to find the person. get rid of.
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced around the remaining Huo family members, but still couldn't see any flaws. He frowned and looked at the time. Another two hours had passed.
Either that guy is too patient, or that person is indeed not among the remaining people.
He suddenly thought of the two people who had not followed the team when they encountered the strong alkali, Huo Xiaoli and Huo Chuqi.
Could it be that that guy is an unlucky guy and has already died outside?
Reason told him that even a fly would be melted into a mummy under that strong alkali gas, but he always felt uneasy in his heart. This situation beyond his control made him a little at a loss. In the quiet space, Along with the sound of his heartbeat, the uneasiness bit by bit eroded his rationality.
He attributed this uneasiness to the fear of the Wang family behind him. After much thought, he decided to go out and check. He had to make sure that the two people were dead, otherwise he would still be worried. He would not allow the plan to be made. anything goes wrong with the plan.
Glancing at the little brother who had fallen into a deep sleep, he told himself to wait a little longer. When the little brother woke up, he could also observe the remaining people.
He didn't believe that that person would really be indifferent to the situation where he was trapped here. If he didn't get what he wanted, he would definitely take action.
The fastest and slowest thing in the world, the longest and shortest thing, the most overlooked thing and the most regrettable thing in the world is time.
Just like water vapor when it heats up, the heat only lasts for a moment and will disappear in an instant.
Another six hours had passed, and the sequelae caused by inhaling the alkali gas were still continuing. The Huo family's coughs became more severe each time. Huo Xiuxiu could no longer hold on and showed signs of fainting. Huo Chushi had to take care of Old Mrs. Huo. He had to take care of Huo Xiuxiu again, and he was unable to cope with the workload. In addition, he had given his protective clothing to Mrs. Huo outside the water pool cave. In fact, his internal injuries were the most serious.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhuoxun stood up and took Mrs. Huo over to help him take care of her.
Huo Chushi thought he had agreed to what he had said before, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he said softly: "Thank you."
Zhang Zhuxun waved his hand casually. It was not difficult for him to take a corpse out. After taking it out, he could give an explanation to the real Huo Xiuxiu.
This time, for some unknown reason, my little brother slept particularly deeply.
Zhang Zhuxun thought there was something wrong with his body, but after checking, he found that he was just sleeping, so he didn't disturb him.
It wasn't until the second night of being trapped here that I woke up leisurely.
The first time he woke up and opened his eyes, Zhang Zhuxun realized something was wrong.
There was something unclear in the little brother's indifferent eyes, which seemed to be a kind of emptiness and distance separated from time. When he lowered his eyelids, he instantly returned from the top of the snow-capped mountain to the mortal world in front of him.
Zhang Zhuoxun understood the reason for this change in him, and said nothing, just handed him the prepared food.
Huo Xiangu still showed no sign of waking up, which was actually good. Zhang Zhuxun was quite afraid that the old lady would suddenly turn around and grab his hand and tell him some last words. Then he would really be tied to Huo's house. This rotten fruit is on the tree.
When he turned around and saw that his brother was almost finished eating, Zhang Zhuxun avoided the Huo family and told him that he had to go out.
The younger brother was stunned for a moment, then frowned and firmly objected: "No, you will die if you go out."
"You can't die, don't worry." Zhang Zhuoxun smiled, and then he saw the little brother put down his lunch box and made a move to get up, and all the muscles in his body began to tighten.
This was a precursor to him adjusting his inner breath and mobilizing his muscles before taking action.
Zhang Zhuxun suddenly felt dumbfounded. Is the younger brother trying to knock him out when he saw that he was disobedient and couldn't persuade him?
Now he didn't dare to move. If the little brother misunderstood and hit him directly, it would be terrible. If he was beaten obediently, he would have to faint until Wu Xiaoxie and the others came in. If he resisted, , the sound of the fight between the two of them had to dismantle the small secret room with a bigger turtle shell.
"Brother, please don't do anything. Listen to me." Zhang Zhuxun hurriedly explained, "I have to go out. The man hasn't been found yet, and I won't be at ease until he's dead. I have to go. confirm."
The younger brother still knitted his eyebrows, his eyes as deep as an ancient well stared at him, motionless. This was the largest expression Zhang Zhuxun had ever seen on his face, besides a slight smile.
Zhang Zhuoxun felt something bad in his heart, and all the muscles and bones in his body tensed up involuntarily.
The little brother seemed to have judged something from his reaction, and said expressionlessly: "You didn't tell the truth."
Even though he didn't know the reason, the boy's first reaction was to stop him and knock the danger unconscious in the cradle.
The alarm bells in Zhang Zhuxun's heart rang loudly. He ducked his shoulders and ducked out sideways.
Because he had predicted it in advance, the little brother took advantage of it, and without any hesitation, he immediately chased after him.
Zhang Zhuoxun retreated urgently. He just dodged the younger brother's attack and didn't fight back at all. The nature of the fight had changed.
Huo Chushi was lying weakly and drowsily. He had just woken up a little bit, and then he suddenly saw the two people talking about something and started fighting after a disagreement. He was so shocked that he woke up completely.
He struggled to get up and try to persuade him, but he accidentally stretched out his foot, blocking Zhang Zhuxun's retreat.
"Your sister!"
He had nowhere to hide in this small space. He stepped on Huo Chushi's outstretched leg, causing him to stumble. The younger brother took the opportunity and stepped forward to chop him on the neck. He was knocked unconscious.
Although he dodged at the last moment, half of his left shoulder was still numb.
"Ouch——"
Huo Chushi screamed so loudly that several people who were sleeping were woken up by his howl. They lay weakly on the ground and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Ahem...what's going on?"
"What's wrong? Did Milotuo... call in?"
Huo Chushi subconsciously withdrew the leg that was stepped on. Zhang Zhuxun resisted for a while. Before he could adjust his posture, and because he wanted to avoid his brother's next move, he simply fell down while standing unsteadily. He rolled from Huo Chushi's body to two steps away, turned over, and immediately made a pause gesture to the younger brother.
The younger brother stopped and stood there looking at him steadily.
Zhang Zhuoxun bared his teeth and rubbed his shoulders reluctantly, "Hiss... you are a slut, you are so ruthless."
If it were an ordinary person, this time he would have to shoot the bone fracture directly.
The unlucky Huo Chushi hugged his legs, his face contorted in pain, and he did not forget to advise them both, "If you have anything to say, talk to them. After all, you are a family. Broken bones are still connected."
"Get some rest, we just stayed in bed for too long to stretch out our muscles." Zhang Zhuxun rolled his eyes angrily and squatted down to check his leg, "It's not broken, it's just swollen."
Huo Chushi grinned, but intermittently comforted him, "It's okay, cough... Anyway, my lungs... cough are already rotten, it doesn't matter if it continues."
The secret room here is also a wooden structure. Although the wood has been specially treated to temporarily escape, the alkaline gas will penetrate in sooner or later.
Thanks to [I was the most naive when I was young], [Bu Nian], [Lin Meng] and other big guys for their rewards, I have a huge heart...*
