Zhuang Momo pushed the desk aside and laid on the ground with her ear pressed against the ground. Her fingers gently tapped on the floor and very quickly she discovered, "Zhan Limo, the exit is right here."
Zhan Limo busily tied up the four people on the ground, and turned his head to look at them: "Mn, continue."
Zhuang Momo quickly took out a blade from her military boots and fiercely stabbed it into the tiles a few times. A floor tile was picked up by her, and after opening the first piece, it became much easier to pry the floor tile behind.
After Zhuang Momo pried open a few floor tiles, she used her strength to poke at the cement beneath the floor tiles. After the cement was broken apart, there was a secret compartment.
At this time, Zhan Limo happened to have tied up the rest of the people, and threw the two guards at the door. The ones that they had to bring along, he dragged the two of them to the exit.
Zhuang Momo swiftly slipped into the hole, "I'll go down first, pass these two to me."
Zhan Limo switched on the light on his mobile phone and shone it into the cave. There was a wooden ladder beside him, and it looked like it would be difficult to walk on, "We are still not clear about the situation down there, you better be careful."
"Yes." "I know." Zhuang Momo nodded, "You should also pay attention to the situation at the back, don't let others find out yet."
They were both concerned about each other's safety, but none of them acted as a hindrance.
Zhuang Momo quickly went down the stairs and arrived at the bottom of the cave very quickly. She used her cell phone and flashlight to illuminate the cave, the tu
el was very small and narrow, it would be difficult for one person to go out alone, furthermore, they had one person in charge of leading one person out.
But Zhuang Momo was not scared by the difficulties. She found a good place to stand: "Come."
was a little worried that Zhuang Momo would not be able to catch it: "Get close to the stairs and let the stairs carry some of the weight of these two people so that you can continue."
Zhuang Momo clapped his hands, "Don't worry, I am very strong. I just can't take it anymore, so I just throw them on the ground and I won't foolishly let myself get hurt. "
Zhan Limo praised him: "The longer I stay with you, the smarter you really become."
He was saying that, but Zhan Limo's hands did not stop moving either. He first stuffed the guard into the hole, and after Zhuang Momo caught the person, he then placed the guard down.
After catching the two people that Zhan Limo had stuffed down, Zhuang Momo urged them: "Come down quickly."
Although the subordinates guarding outside did not receive the order to not enter the study, it did not preclude them from hinting at something else. If they were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhan Limo: "Wait a moment."
The hole had already been destroyed by Zhuang Momo. The moment the enemy discovered that there was something abnormal in the office, they would immediately find the passage they were trying to escape through, and they would be able to quickly chase after them.
Zhan Limo wanted to fix it, but the possibility of recovery in such a short period of time was too short, so he could only pull the desk over to block off a little.
In the passage, Zhuang Momo urged them again: "Zhan Limo, hurry up." Why isn't that stinky man coming down yet? Did he want to scare her to death?
"He's coming." Zhan Limo nimbly slid down the tu
el, and stood at the top of the stairs while taking a few things to block the entrance of the cave. After doing enough, he finally landed, "Let's go."
The passageway was very narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. Now, it was difficult to drag a person every step. Zhuang Momo kept her guard up, and before long, she was already sweating profusely. "Damn, why is it so hot!"
, who was behind him, was even worse off. Sweat was dripping down his face, and his sweat was also pouring out of his body.
He raised his hand and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. "I can feel that the flow of air has become a little stronger. If we can hold on for a little longer, we should be able to leave this secret passageway very soon."
However, Zhan Limo felt that something was not right.
City X's highest temperature during the day was only about 30 degrees Celsius. In the middle of the night, the temperature could be as low as 20 degrees Celsius, so this passage to the outside world should be built underground. With the current weather, it should be very cool inside, even if the air doesn't circulate, it shouldn't be as hot as it is now.
There was a problem!
He looked forward, and saw that it was very difficult for Zhuang Momo to take every step.
Zhan Limo really wanted to help Zhuang Momo carry the people on his back and guard them, but the terrain didn't allow him to carry two people at the same time. He said: "Zhuang Momo, slow down if you're tired."
Zhuang Momo released her firm defense and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. "I'm not tired, it's just that it's too hot and it's so hot that sweat is flowing down my body. I've exhausted too much of my energy. "It's really strange. In the past, I've never been as powerless as I am now while training under the scorching sun."
After she finished speaking, she stuck on her guard and continued forward, she could not delay the entire group's journey just because of her, but as for Zhan Limo, was he as hot and tired as her?
"Zhan Limo, do you feel that it's very hot?"
"Yes." Zhan Limo nodded, his gaze looking at the two walls on both sides, wanting to find out what was going on. The two of them must not die before they even walk out of this secret passageway.
"Looks like there must be some sort of trap mechanism in this secret passageway." Zhuang Momo slightly increased her speed, and said with a tone of certainty, "I have seen some ingredients in the past, and some of them would install a heating device."
Hearing Zhuang Momo say this, Zhan Limo was sure that since it was so hot inside the secret passage, it should be equipped with this equipment, but what method could be used to remove it?
Without waiting for him to ask, Zhuang Momo continued, "As long as anyone enters, the heat mechanism will activate. When the temperature reaches a certain point, it will explode."
Zhan Limo had never heard of such news before, "If that's the case, then when the owner of the secret passageway is about to escape, will the mechanism activate by itself and heat up the owner to death?"
"Zhan Limo, I really am not spouting nonsense. Hurry up and follow me, I hope that we can leave this place before the temperature reaches to explosive point. Otherwise, we will not even have our corpses intact." The secret passage was so narrow, that Zhuang Momo had no more strength left, but she kept her guard up and ran at a speed that was practically the same as when she was ru
ing, and even had to explain the reason to Zhan Limo, "Those who are familiar with the hidden passageway must pass through the secret passage, and they will turn off the heat switch in advance so that nothing will happen."
Zhuang Momo wanted to slap herself ruthlessly: "I was the one who neglected to defend this person. I didn't think that he would add this kind of device onto the original foundation of her secret passage. It's my fault for being inconsiderate again, I deserve to die! "
"Don't blame yourself." Zhan Limo finally understood, "Zhuang Momo, listen to me. When we exit the secret passage later, we might encounter danger again. But you have to remember that no matter what happens, you have to listen to my instructions. In case of violation, it shall be dealt with according to military law! "
