Arriving near Mr. Crab's anchor house, Lin Li took note of the surrounding environment along the way based on the route map drawn by Mr. Crab.
The scene I had seen with a shell car, now seen from a human perspective, seemed even broader.
The night was lonely, just like what he saw in the morning, but it was more deserted along the way. Lin Li didn't even see a single creature like a shell or a seahorse during the entire journey.
Soon, the coral forest appeared in front of us.
Based on the memory from the morning, I found the direction where Mr. Crab entered. I reached out and fiddled with the corals on both sides, and the corals on both sides were easily pushed away.
The ground was soft and wet, and when I raised my feet, I saw a shoe print belonging to a diving suit.
In this place where Mr. Krabs’s cone-shaped footprints are everywhere, it looks very abrupt.
Frowning slightly, Lin Li thought for a moment, restored the land he had just stepped on, and then tried his best to step on the solid coral without leaving any footprints.
Soon, the open space where the cellar was located appeared in front of you, but the entrance was not opened. If you didn't know the location and just looked at it, you would just think that this was an ordinary piece of land.
Lin Li stepped forward, used a steel rod to pull away the soil above, found the button of the entrance, and pulled hard, and the familiar stairs appeared in front of him.
Except for a small area illuminated by the moonlight, as far as the eye can see, there is a black as rich as ink.
Although he knew there were torches on both sides of the tunnel, Lin Li didn't know how to open it, and he didn't have an ignition device with him.
However, Lin Li had a searchlight on his chest in addition to his diving suit. He also found a flashlight from the ruffian's house.
Be prepared.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing his nervousness, and placing the steel rod in front of him to increase his sense of security, Lin Li walked slowly along the stairs into the tunnel.
The opening of the cave is very large, and it is very easy to walk in. After all, Mr. Krabs is as big as Lin Lida in his waist and half wearing a diving suit.
"Tick tock, tick tock."
After actually walking into this tunnel, Lin Li felt a sense of oppression in the cramped space.
On the land above your head, there are occasional protrusions of earth and stones. The water droplets gradually gather and finally fall to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The sound of water drops and Lin Li's footsteps are the only sounds here.
Although he had seen it before, when those rotten pieces of meat appeared in the area of the exploration light, Lin Li still felt nauseous even though he couldn't smell them.
But these were important clues. When he saw a relatively fresh piece of meat, Lin Li squatted down, picked up a piece, and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look.
The small piece of meat, with a gel-like cross-section, was soft when pinched with his hands. When Lin Li squeezed it a little harder, blue liquid would flow out from the gaps in the meat piece.
Let's assume that this liquid is blood, then what creature's blood is blue? Or is it the blood color that was forcibly changed for the sake of harmony? ——After all, Lin Li had seen a lot of green blood.
Octopus blood.
When Lin Li was recalling the domestic green-blooded drama, this knowledge point suddenly flashed in his mind - the blood of octopuses seems to be blue.
Lin Li swallowed, feeling a little uneasy.
Continue along the road until an iron gate blocks Lin Li.
Lin Li stepped forward to check. Different from when the shell truck arrived in the morning, there was a small lock on the bolt of the iron door.
"Wow---"
As Lin Li pulled, the iron chain rubbed against the iron door, making a loud noise. Lin Li paused and looked forward and back warily.
There is no situation.
After taking a closer look at the lock, it is obvious that it requires a key to open and cannot be solved through puzzle methods.
Lin Li smiled slightly and raised the steel rod in his hand.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The steel rod flying at high speed hit the lock hard, making a long and loud trembling sound.
Lin Li even felt that the entire cellar was shaking.
I leaned over and looked at it. Although it was a small lock, it was intact.
Obviously, simple violent methods cannot solve this problem.
Lin Li stretched out his hand, and with a thought, a firecracker the size of his knuckle appeared in his hand - [Jerry's Little Firecracker].
The power of a frag grenade should be enough to blow up this door.
But he was hesitant. After all, this was the only offensive prop on his body. If he used it here, if he encountered danger later, he would have to rely on himself and the steel rod in his hand.
After thinking about it, Lin Li made up his mind to use it now.
"..."
After taking [Jerry's small firecrackers] back to the [warehouse], Lin Li frowned.
——When he decided to use it, he suddenly found that he didn't have any equipment or props that could light a fire.
Although there were torches on the wall, there were no matches or anything like that left.
In "Tom and Jerry", they don't have to worry about this problem at all when they really need it. Everything is available as soon as they dig out their butts.
Bai has been struggling for a long time.
"Bang!"
I tried a few more times, but both the chains and the locks were intact.
With a long sigh, Lin Li decided to return the same way.
Or ask Sandy to find a way to help him make some weapons.
If you can't make it, you need something to light the fire. You should have this.
"You...are not Mr. Krabs."
After Lin Li walked a few steps, a tired voice suddenly came from behind him. It was very soft and had a flat tone. It was creepy in the dark tunnel.
This isn't Mr. Krabs's voice either. In terms of direction, from a vocal perspective, it's more like Patrick Star.
However, Patrick's voice is much wiser than this - of course, in a derogatory sense.
Gripping the steel rod in his hand, Lin Li turned to look at the iron gate. He did not make any sound, but began to retreat slowly step by step.
He had never thought that there were still living people inside.
"You are not Mr. Krabs." The people inside seemed more determined.
"There seem to be a lot of guests here these past two days." He smiled in a very weak voice.
Is he talking about the ruffian boss? Lin Li had this thought.
"Want to come in and take a look? The key to the iron door, I remember Mr. Krabs inserted it on the wall to the left of the iron door. He said he was too lazy to make sure he had the key with him every day.
Anyway, I was completely locked into him. said the voice.
Hearing this, Lin Li looked at the wall with his flashlight on the left. Just as the voice said, there was a key inserted in the wall, which reflected the light of the flashlight, making it very dazzling.
Things have gone beyond Lin Li's original expectations, but if there are living people inside, Mr. Crab may know all the information here tomorrow and be more vigilant.
I... also want to know the real picture behind this darkness.
Thinking of this, Lin Li no longer hesitated, took out the key and opened the iron door.
Flashlights and searchlights illuminated the area in front of him. Lin Li held the iron rod tightly and moved forward at a turtle's speed.
"I'm here." As if aware of Lin Li's approach, after a few minutes of advancing like this, the voice sounded from the left direction.
The flashlight's aperture twists.
Patrick's exhausted face appeared on the screen.
