This second elevator was a specially prepared escape route in case the first elevator failed. Even if the first elevator is unavailable, researchers here can still leave through the second elevator.
"Hurry up and let her lead the way. I find it's getting hotter and hotter here." Ms. Kojima breathed heavily, took out a round fan from the system backpack, and fanned herself vigorously.
But no matter how hard she fanned, it had no effect and she still felt extremely hot. The heat seemed to be radiating from her body, making her whole body hot and sweating profusely. Even her breath had a strong burning sensation.
Not only is she like this, but so are several others. Except for Ms. Kojima, the two women could remain quiet and dignified. The other male survivors all stuck out their tongues and began to pant like puppies.
"Go this way." Professor Sumandli suddenly raised his head and pointed to a room on the left.
"Oh?" Kameda-kun narrowed his eyes and looked around.
"You lead the way!" In order to avoid Professor Sumandri's dirty tricks, Kameda-kun asked her to lead the way.
In this way, you won't be afraid of any traps set by the other party. Even if she wanted to run away, it would be impossible. With so many of them watching, Professor Sumandri could not escape even if he had wings.
When Professor Sumandli heard the sound, he didn't say much, but shook his body and walked forward. But while she was walking, she took off a gas mask from her waist and put it on her face.
"Why are you wearing a gas mask?" Seeing this scene, Kameda-kun frowned and snatched it away, his rat eyes widening.
"I have asthma, so I have to wear this." Professor Sumandri said with a pale, bloodless voice and a weak voice.
"Stop talking nonsense, you have to bear with me even if you have asthma." Kameda-kun put the gas mask in his hand into the system backpack and snorted coldly.
Obviously, he did not believe Professor Sumandri's words and thought she was deliberately cheating. Seeing this, Professor Sumandli sighed bitterly, and without further explanation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the room she just mentioned.
Enter the electronic code at the door handle. After a moment, the electronic password was entered, a crisp ding-dong sound sounded, and the door opened automatically.
Inside, the light was bright and there was nothing. It was an empty room.
"Is this the place where you said there is a second elevator?" Kameda-kun looked around, but did not see the existence of the second elevator. He couldn't help but get angry, walked forward quickly, and gave Sumandeli a hard blow. The professor slapped her so hard that her nose drew blood.
A bloody slap mark also swelled up, obviously this slap was a fatal blow.
"Right there!"
"This... the second elevator is set up very secretly. No one knows except me." Professor Sumandli endured the burning pain on her face and walked to the empty room tremblingly. In front of him, his palms groped on the wall for a while. After a few seconds, his fingers stopped, as if they had touched some hidden grid, and then he pressed the hidden grid with force.
The next moment, an underground entrance suddenly opened on the empty ground, and rows of steps appeared from it.
"This is the entrance, you come with me." Professor Sumandli limped into it first.
Upon seeing this, Kameda-kun and others looked at each other, hesitated again and again, and followed. This Professor Sumandli should not dare to tell lies.
If she dares to tell lies and deceive others, she will definitely not get any good results, and her life will be in danger. She must know this better than anyone else.
Follow Professor Sumandri all the way down. The deeper we go, the dimmer the light becomes, and the air becomes a lot colder.
The temperature is more than ten degrees lower than that of Base 2. In this regard, Kameda-kun and others not only did not feel any discomfort, but actually enjoyed it extremely.
It's almost too hot for them to be outside, and if they can find a cold place, it's almost like giving them pillows when they're dozing off. I'd love it.
About ten minutes passed before they reached the bottom of the underground steps. This place is not wide, with only five meters of floor space, like a dug-out basement.
Right in front of the basement, there is an elevator. But the lights in this elevator were flashing with a dazzling red light, and there was a huge cross painted with yellow paint.
It seems to be foreshadowing some information.
"This is the second elevator." Professor Sumandli explained, looking at the yellow painted cross above the elevator with a complicated expression.
After her words came out, Kameda-kun and others did not answer, but they all looked excited and couldn't wait to walk in.
"You go in too!" But just to be on the safe side, Kameda-kun pushed Professor Sumandri in before the elevator finally closed.
If the place the elevator leads to is not the research base under the Kara Cave, it means that Professor Sumandli has been playing tricks on them and setting a trap for them.
So at this juncture, it's better to take her with you. Professor Sumandli did not resist or struggle, as if he had expected to be taken down together.
After she entered the elevator, she lowered her head silently and fell into silence. Kameda-kun pulled the lever in the elevator, and with a huge roar of steam, the elevator began to descend rapidly downwards.
About ten minutes after landing, the elevator suddenly stopped, and then the elevator door opened automatically.
There was a bright red light outside the elevator, and the surrounding temperature was horribly low, even dozens of degrees colder than before.
Whether it is the ground, the surrounding walls, or even the places with red lights, they are all covered with a thick layer of ice and frost.
All of this shows that the temperature here is extremely cold. It has reached a very exaggerated level.
Regarding the cold here, the expressions on the faces of Kameda-kun and others became more comfortable, and their faces showed a sense of relief.
So comfortable, so comfortable. It's finally not that hot anymore.
"What base number is this? No. 3?" Kameda-kun looked sideways at Professor Sumandri and asked.
"Um...right..." Professor Sumandli swallowed and hesitated.
But when she answered, her hands shrunk in the sleeves of her white coat were trembling unnaturally.
The trembling came very suddenly and was not noticed by Kameda-kun and the others.
"You lead the way and let us get to Base 4 as soon as possible." Kameda-kun began to urge again, his words a little impatient.
The place they are going to is Base 4, but it is not here.
"The other elevator is in the research room in front..." Sumandli pointed to the front of the passage.
There is an unlit research room there.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead the way." Ms. Kojima pushed Professor Sumandri hard, almost knocking her down.
Professor Sumandri shook her body a few times and barely managed to stand still. She glanced back at Ms. Kojima, closed her mouth tightly, and walked forward silently.
A few minutes later, they arrived outside the research room. Professor Sumandli followed the procedure and began to enter the electronic password on the door.
After a few seconds, the door opened. The research room was dark and eerily quiet.
"It's so dark, please turn on the light quickly." Seeing the darkness inside, Kameda-kun couldn't help but frown and whispered.
"Okay." Professor Sumandli took a deep breath, walked in, came to the left side near the door, groped on the wall, and quickly found the light button.
Press the button and the lights suddenly come on. The dazzling light like daylight instantly dispersed the darkness of the entire laboratory, completely revealing the scene in the laboratory.
However, there are no elevators, passages, or underground entrances in this research room.
There are not even any research instruments or various tools. In the huge research room, there was only a huge thing covered by black cloth, standing in the middle.
Judging from the shape and appearance of the huge thing, it looked like a statue.
"What is that?" Seeing this scene, Kameda-kun's pupils shrank and asked in surprise. Professor Sumandli did not speak, but took the lead to step forward and pulled off the black cloth covering the similar statue.
The black cloth was pulled off, and the true appearance of the thing was finally seen clearly. I saw that this was really a statue.
The statue is two meters high and is an angel with arms crossed on his chest. The angel statue has its eyes closed and its mouth closed.
It had wings on its back, and it was hard to tell whether it was male or female. Its facial features were ferocious and twisted, as if it was crying.
"What is this?" The moment Kameda-kun saw the angel statue clearly, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"This is the Weeping Angel!"
"It was accidentally discovered in the deepest part when we were digging the Kara Hole." Professor Sumandri did not look back, but looked at the statue and explained patiently.
"We asked you to lead the way to the elevator to Research Base No. 4. Why did you bring us here?!" Kameda-kun's face darkened and he asked.
"The passage to Research Base 4 is under the Weeping Angel statue. I can't move it alone. Can you do me a favor?" At this point, Professor Sumandri turned his head and looked at Kameda. Jun and others looked at them for help.
"So that's it." Ms. Kojima nodded thoughtfully. She glanced at Kameda-kun and said, "Now that we are all here, we are not afraid of her escaping. If she dares to lie to us, we will kill her." .”
"That's exactly what I meant." Kameda-kun smiled and directly agreed with Ms. Kojima's words. Although he likes women, he usually gets tired of them after playing with them once. At this time, the woman has no value.
Kill when you need to, and you will never be lenient.
"You stinky woman, get out of here. If we move this broken statue and don't find the passage, you will be dead." Kameda-kun threatened coldly. After saying this, he called to the other male survivors. He stepped forward and prepared to move the statue of the Weeping Angel.
At this moment, while Kameda-kun and others were focusing their attention on the statue of the Weeping Angel, Professor Sumandri slowly backed away, quietly exiting the crowd, and then exited the research room. Finally, when he came outside, he turned around and ran away without saying a word. Holding his breath, he ran away in the direction of the elevator.
While she was escaping, she took out a bunch of keys from her white coat and held it in her hand. At this moment, her palms were covered in cold sweat and her heart was beating wildly.
She knew very well what dangers there were in the Kelakong Cave Research Base. It was definitely not as simple as imagined.
In the past, she had communicated with the person in charge of Base 3, and she had already learned the information about the fall.
The reason why Zhang Fan and the two were sent there was mainly to confirm whether the information was true. Now that such a long time has passed and Zhang Fan and the other two have not come back, it means that they have died down there.
"I didn't want to do this originally, but the situation has developed to this extent, and everything... needs to be settled eventually." Professor Sumandli sighed bitterly, and quickly returned to the elevator.
Then the pull rod was pulled, and the elevator began to rise slowly.
"These bastards, just stay here to die."
"Do you think the Weeping Angel is really just a statue?"
“The most dangerous species we have ever discovered…”…
"That Professor Sumandri seems to be missing!" Ms. Kojima glanced around and saw no trace of Professor Sumandri, so she couldn't help but remind her in a cold voice.
"What did you say?" After hearing this, several survivors all raised their heads in unison and asked in surprised voices.
"She seems to have escaped while we were not paying attention!" Ms. Kojima said thoughtfully.
"This stinky woman really doesn't have any good intentions."
"Forget it, no matter what, let's wait until we move the statue and take a look below." Kameda-kun's face became ferocious, but when he thought about the Weeping Angel statue, there seemed to be an entrance to Research Base No. 4. His His expression softened a lot.
If this stinky woman like Professor Sumandri runs away, just run away. As long as we can reach Research Base No. 4 smoothly, it will all be worth it.
After saying this, Kameda-kun and several male survivors began to desperately move the Weeping Angel statue.
Strangely enough, no matter how hard they moved it, the Weeping Angel statue remained motionless, as if it was embedded in the ground.
After trying several times in succession, they still failed. For a moment, several people's faces showed anger. It seemed that they had all been tricked by Professor Sumandri.
The statue is so heavy that there is no way to have an entrance underneath. After wiping the sweat from their foreheads, Kameda-kun and the others gave up the idea of continuing to move. Instead, they slowly turned around with a fierce look on their faces and said, "This disgusting stinky woman actually dared to lie to us. Let's go." , let’s go over and kill her now.”
"Sure enough, you can't completely believe what this woman says."
"Let's go! Get out of here." Kameda-kun and others were so angry that they wanted to strangle Professor Sumandri to death.
It made them run here, but their joy was in vain. Just like that, amidst everyone's cursing words, they turned around and walked towards the outside of the research room.
But, the moment they turned around. The Weeping Angel statue that originally stood in the center of the research room suddenly opened its eyes, and then opened its mouth, revealing a row of sharp stone teeth in its mouth.
It spread its arms, showing its teeth and claws, and began to move, as if chasing Kameda-kun and others.
"Eh? Did you hear anything?" Ms. Kojima, who was walking at the back, suddenly said.
"What?" Kameda-kun was stunned, not knowing why.
"I heard a sound behind me." Sensing something strange, Ms. Kojima turned her head and looked behind her, and saw the statue of the Weeping Angel appearing less than two meters behind her.
At this time, the Weeping Angel looked hideous and terrifying, like an evil ghost from hell. She opened her big mouth full of fangs and stuck out her long stone tongue. She remained motionless, frozen behind her and no longer moving.
