I saw that although Ding Sitian had inhaled only a limited amount of the locust poison, her current condition is relatively stable, she can walk and move, and she is still conscious, but the early symptoms of the poisoning have appeared after all.
If you go out from the mountain pass on the north side of Baiyan Cave, you will be there.
The edge of the uninhabited desert, far away The pastoral area is further away.
Even without such a detour, without horses, there would be no time to send her to the hospital.
Moreover, if the poison she received takes effect in a shorter period of time, what will happen?
It can guarantee that the journey will be safe without any problems.
I frowned, looked at the map, and immediately made up my mind: "The Jin-scaled Cockroach was specially raised by the Japs Research Institute.
They were conducting research to treat soldiers injured by Cockroach poison on the Pacific battlefield.
There may be an antidote serum in this research institute.
This possibility is very high.
It is difficult to find a safe life without taking three risks.
I think the only way to save my life is to take this gamble and go to the main research institute.
Find the antidote."
In the end, both Fatty and Lao Yangpi agreed to this plan.
It was simply unrealistic to hope that she would be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Ding Sitian was completely relieved to entrust her life to us.
This seemed risky, but there was really no change.
There are so many choices, and the best choice is often the one made when there is no choice.
In order not to put too much psychological pressure on Ding Sitian, I didn't act too hasty.
After confirming the route, I continued to move forward at the normal speed.
Anyway, I saw from the map that the distance to the main research building was not that far, so the speed No matter how slow it is, it's still too late.
If you study There was no antidote such as serum in the building, so everything would be over.
I was vaguely afraid, always thinking about what if there was no antidote.
And who among the few of us could recognize the antidote?
In the end, I just I stopped thinking about it.
Damn it, I won’t shed tears until I see the coffin, and I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River.
Not long after, we entered a very open underground waterway.
There were many interconnected cement pipes here.
The fat man who was walking in front to clear the way suddenly stepped on something.
He cursed and raised his foot in the black water, and a few pipes were exposed from the sewage.
There were rotten dead bones, and there was still a shoe stuck under half of the leg bone.
I was about to take a closer look, but in the dark, I noticed that the cement pipe we were in suddenly started to rotate.
Judging from the map of the institute drawn by the Russians, the huge underground drainage facility is actually an artificially diverted underground river.
It is precisely because a large amount of groundwater was dug out of the valley of Baiyan Grottoes that it cannot be built due to the geological environment.
The water diversion canal can only be led out of the mountain using spider web-like drainage pipes.
Otherwise, groundwater will flood the area above our heads, and this secret research facility will not be built at its current location.
But now the underground drainage channels are about to dry up, leaving only some sewage sludge.
I guess the water source in the mountains has dried up long ago.
The underground water channels are divided into two parts, one part is completely closed, and the other half is semi-closed.
In an emergency, It can be used as an evacuation passage.
If you want to approach the main research building, the nearest route is through the semi-enclosed pipeline area, where the environment is complex.
The network of pipes is intertwined like a maze.
Without this map, it would be difficult to find the exit smoothly.
We held a torch and walked to find a way, and arrived at an open joint area where ditches and pipes were intertwined.
The walls were dark, there was a lot of sewage and sludge, and all kinds of mayflies were breeding in the water.

It happened to be in the center of the underground waterway. zone.
Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, they found many corpses in the black water at the bottom of the pipe.
Judging from the corpses that had not rotted away their clothing, they were probably guards from the Japanese Army's secret research institute.
The fat man held his nose and used his feet to poke at the corpses that had rotted away.
Dead bones.
When we saw this, we couldn't help but think: "Why are there corpses of Japanese soldiers in this pipe?"
Just as we were about to take a look, we found that the pipe we were in suddenly shook, and for a moment it seemed like the world was spinning.
But this was just an illusion of clear eyes, and there was no feeling of shaking under our feet.
We held up the torch and looked up.
The four of us were shocked by the sight in front of us.
The wall of the pipe one meter away in front of us was covered with black cockroaches. , these cockroaches are black and brown, with wings growing on their backs, they are amazingly big, about three to four centimeters in length, one next to the other.
Only, they were so densely packed that thousands of them covered the entire wall.
These big cockroaches were probably stimulated by certain components in the sewage.
Not only were they half the size of ordinary cockroaches, they could also lean on them.
They eat each other's corpses, as well as the rats, woodlice and other creatures that enter this sewer to stay alive.
These cockroaches were originally lying dormant and motionless, slowly biting each other.
At this time, a small number of them were alerted by the firelight and footsteps.
They immediately jumped up quickly, and a chain reaction occurred in an instant.
The cockroaches in the entire pipeline seemed to be boiling.
The boiling water rushed everywhere without thinking, and the wall of the pipe turned into a flowing black tide.
Many fell from the wall of the pipe, and a layer immediately fell on our heads and shoulders.
I wanted to ask everyone to run back, but not only was there no one else to care about at this time, but no one dared to open their mouths to speak.
The large and small cockroaches that were squeezed out almost crushed the torches, and they fell on people and crawled everywhere. , maybe a few will get into your mouth if you open your mouth, and small cockroaches will get through any cracks, and they can't stand getting into the ears and nose.
It can crawl along the ears and into the human brain, so everyone has to fight hard to drop them on the head and shoulders. of cockroaches dusted off.
The cockroaches jumped so fast that we had nowhere to run, so we had to use the torches in our hands to drive them away, hoping that these cockroaches would disperse quickly.
Everyone calmed down and returned from the black tide formed by the large group of cockroaches just now.
After regaining consciousness, he tried his best to use all the available tools, and finally used torches to disperse the tide of cockroaches from around him.
After a while, the number of cockroaches in the pipe gradually decreased.
I freed my hands to remove the cockroaches from Ding Sitian and Lao Yangpi.
The expressions of the four of them changed.
They would rather let the evil ghost take away their souls.
Not wanting to be buried alive by cockroaches and slowly bitten to death, the fat man said to us: "Let's rush over while the cockroaches are gone."
Before the fat man finished speaking, he heard Lao Yangpi yelling.
His body suddenly sank and was dragged to the ground by something in the sewage.
Ding Sitian and I realized something was wrong and reached out to pull him, but we couldn't.
Lao Yangpi's strength was so great that although I grabbed Lao Yangpi's arm, I was pulled by the huge force and staggered on my feet, almost falling into the mud.
Ding Sitian was not as lucky as me.
She grabbed the lapel of Lao Sheepskin, trying to stop Lao Sheepskin from being pulled backwards, but her arm strength was limited, and her soles were slippery and she could not stand firmly, so she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
But she still didn't let go, and she and Lao Yangpi were dragged into the darkness of the sewer.
At this time, the fat man had already taken out the Southern Type 14 pistol.
I saw that it was difficult to see the target in the darkness and it was easy to accidentally shoot.
And seeing how energetic this guy was, he thought about the origin of these corpse bones.
It was probably that some people wanted to escape from here when something happened, but when they encountered something deadly, they were all ended up in the stinking ditch.
If you want to save people, you can't hesitate at all, otherwise you will have to wait to collect the bodies of those two people.
So I pulled out the Kangxi sword and shouted to the fat man: "Don't shoot, throw the torch forward."

As he spoke, he sprinted forward.
Go up.
Lao Yangpi and Ding Sitian's torches fell into the mud and went out when they fell to the ground.
In order to save money and start a revolution, we didn't even bother to use the Russian engineer's lighting tube.
We just used the furniture and clothes in his room to make a few more torches.
Just a simple torch, this torch has advantages and disadvantages , if there are insects, scorpions and centipedes in the tunnel, you can disperse them from a distance by lighting a torch, and you can judge whether the air quality is harmless to people.
However, the disadvantage is that the lighting range is very limited.
It is only a few steps in front of you and a little further away.
Can't see it anymore.
I held a knife in one hand and a torch in the other and chased after him.
I had to let the fat man throw his torch forward as a short-term flare behind me.
I used the torch to see the situation more than ten meters ahead before it fell to the ground and extinguished it.
As soon as I started, behind me The torch flew out from his shoulders, drawing a low parabola in the dark space, and then fell into the mud in front of the pipe and went out.
But by the flash of fire.
I had seen it just a few steps ahead of me.
There is a large gap between the pipes on the ground, nearly one meter in diameter, and the inside is bottomless.
Several thick black arthropod hooks protruded from the inside, covered with black bristles.
They were pulling Ding Sitian and Lao The sheepskin dragged into the large crack in the pipe.
Lao Yangpi lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
He didn't know whether Wushou was injured or not.
He struggled hard to get away, but he couldn't use his strength.
The hunting gun was pressed under him, and he couldn't fire it even if he wanted to.
Ding Si Tian lay on the ground and grabbed Lao Yangpi's clothes.
She gritted her teeth and tried to drag him back, but it was to no avail.
Even she was quickly pulled in.
I stepped on the dead cockroaches all over the ground, which made a crunching sound when I stepped on them.
I rushed closer in three steps and then saw clearly that the thing holding the old sheepskin was a big money string.
The money string was much wider than a cockroach or a centipede.
And there are fewer rivals, But the claws are wider and longer, and the body can grow up to two meters long.
The deep and wide gap in the drainage pipe is regarded as a nest by the money string.
Because of the fear of fire, I want to drag the old sheepskin to the drainage pipe. lower level of the pipe.
I rushed over, and by the light of the fire in my hand, I discovered that the abyss-like crack was lined with human bones, and there were several frighteningly large cockroaches crawling back and forth in the depths.
He was so eager to save people that he didn't bother to take a closer look.
He swung his long knife and chopped it down, trying to save Lao Yangpi and Ding Sitian by swiping the big money string half-shrunk in the hole into two pieces.
Unexpectedly, the money string moved very fast.
My knife was in the air, and it had already pulled the old sheepskin to the entrance of the hole.
If the knife had cut hard, not only would it not be able to cut it, but it would chop the old sheepskin into pieces.
I saw that something was wrong.
He quickly threw the torch into the cave, but the dark atmosphere in the cave was too strong, and the torch In a blink of an eye, I was wiped out by the moisture.
I fell to the ground in the darkness, stretched out my arms and hugged the old sheepskin, trying to hold the hole open, but the crack was more than one meter wide, but I didn't expect that the money string was strong and had black hair.
With a pull of his claws, half of our bodies including me and Old Sheep Ding Sitian fell into the hole.
In the confusion, Ding Sitian opened the engineer lighting tube Gui had placed on his chest.
In the swaying beam of light, Lao Yangpi held up a dead skeleton with his hands.
The rotten bones were stuck in the narrow crack on the side of the pipe wall.
He We held on with all our lives, and the three of us slowed down slightly and continued to be pulled in.

The momentum in the cave was full of swarming insect legs.
I wanted to use a long knife to chop them, but the terrain was so narrow that it was difficult to do so.
I had to stretch my knife into the cave and stab at random.
Every time I stabbed, a stream of yellow water splashed out.
I Afraid that the insect juice was poisonous, he buried his face on the old sheepskin back but didn't stop at all in his hands.
Although most of the knives and stabbings hit the money string, they were not deep enough to kill.
Moreover, this thing has a very strong vitality.
Even if it is cut off a few pieces, it will not die for a while.
Ding Sitian was dragged in Finally, he got up at this time, grabbed me and Lao Yangpi and pulled us back with all his strength.
Our shoulders and arms were hooked by the insect's feet, and we were pinched in the narrow gap.
Due to the restrictions, my hands and feet cannot make large movements.
Although I can hold on to a stalemate for a moment and not be dragged into the hole, it is by no means a long-term solution.
It is impossible to escape with my own strength.
I Suddenly I felt one of my legs being held by Ding Sitian and being pulled back, but her strength was too weak to help.
I became impatient and cursed that Fatty Wang for not coming over to help.
Just when we were in a dilemma, we heard someone behind us shouting: "Don't worry, poor and lower-middle peasants, I'm bringing you cocktails."
Lao Yangpi and I tried our best to hold on, while using a long knife to block the hook protruding from the hole.
When he heard the shouting from behind, he knew it was the fat man coming up, but he was completely confused as to what he was shouting about to deliver cocktails.
But at this critical moment, I didn't know what kind of evil moth he was going to do.
It turned out that the fat man also knew that it was difficult to kill the money string immediately with guns and knives, so he turned on the engineer's lighting tube tied to his chest, and while catching up from behind, he took the bottle of liquor from the Russian's bag out of his bag. took it out , randomly stuffed a handful of pills into it, blocked the mouth of the bottle with the cotton socks that came out, lit it and handed it to Ding Sitian, then picked up the belts of me and Lao Sheepskin, and pulled the front half of our bodies from Pulled out of the hole.
A piece of the string of money was also taken out of the cave.
When it saw the food in its mouth, it went out again.
It was unwilling to give up and was about to drag it back again.
At this time, the Wangba box in the fat man's hand was fired twice, causing it to shrink.
Ding Sitian saw the opportunity and smashed the burning liquor into the hole, and the Russian drank the wine into his mouth.
Like a knife, the alcohol concentration was extremely high, and some chemical tablets were put inside, which may have acted as an accelerant, and flames suddenly rose.
The cracks in the drainage pipes became a sea of fire, burning cockroaches, money strings and other objects in a mess.
I don’t know how many squirmed and died under the flames.
The Molotov cocktails made by Fatty were used by us when the rebels fought and the Red Guards launched attacks.
However, spirits were hard to find at that time.
Most people used gasoline or industrial alcohol, and then added combustion-supporting substances instead.
The formula was also adapted to local conditions, so you could use whatever was available.
This kind of Molotov cocktail composed of a mixture of various burning substances was first used after the Soviet-Finnish War.
It was widely used during the Second World War and was called the Molotov Cocktail.
I looked at myself and Lao Yangpi, although they had some scratches on their skin and a few bruises on their bodies, but they were all fine.
At this time, my mind Everything is blank, and there is no thought of fear anymore.
I looked at the burning cave under the crack.
The fire gradually dimmed, and the cockroaches that had not been burned began to crawl in and out of the crack again.
It made people feel numb.
No one wanted to linger any longer, so the four of them started talking to each other.
We continued to move deeper with support.
This underground waterway was full of dangers.
We were worried.
There are other dangers in the underground waterways.
There is an exit near the sign on the map that can lead to the ground.

It is already very close to the research building, so I speed up and walk there.
Even if it is a little detour, I don't plan to stay here.
More and more woodlice and cockroaches are taking shortcuts in drain pipes.
At the corner of the drainage pipe, there were iron ladders embedded in the cement wall.
The fat man climbed up first and pushed open the cement cover.
It was already dark outside, and then Ding Sitian also climbed up the iron ladder. , the old sheepskin god prepared the first chapter without hesitation.
The three of us went up, and I saw that he looked gloomy, but it didn't seem like he had just been frightened.
He was usually taciturn, always looking like he had experienced many vicissitudes of life and was worried.
In his spare time, he was either smoking pot or singing about his hometown. of sour koji, enter After entering the Baiyan Cave, he often sighed.
Sometimes he finally managed to cheer up, but then he suddenly lost consciousness.
I thought to myself that he might have learned the truth about what happened to his brother Yang Erdan.
It turned out that he was raped.
The Japanese were harmed here, and And due to the constraints of superstitious thoughts, he did not dare to go out to save people, so he still thinks about it.
Comparing his feelings, he can understand his feelings, especially the corpse cremator may have burned the corpse of his own brother.
How could he not be moved by the scene?
worrying So in order to express my sympathy, I patted Lao Yangpi on the shoulder when he climbed up the iron ladder and comforted him: "I understand your mood.
I don't think you should think too much about your brother.
After all, they are all Things are in the past, people still have to be open-minded and we have to look forward to everything.”
Lao Yangpi probably saw that I was young, so he was very surprised to say such words.
As he climbed up, he asked me: "Your son knows what I am thinking, but I only have one brother.
How many brothers do you have in your family?"
a brother" I thought to myself that I was the only child in my family.
Unlike the big socialist families that were popular at the time, I had no other biological brothers and sisters.
But I couldn’t say that, so I said to Lao Yangpi: “You have to think like this, the whole world will suffer.
Everyone is our class brother.”
As I spoke, I climbed up the shaft.
It was already getting dark outside.
Both Fatty and Ding Sitian turned off the engineer lighting tubes, but they and Lao Yangpi looked around, each with a different look on their face, and I followed suit.
When they looked at it, they couldn't help but be startled.
Why did this place look so familiar:
