Chapter 2729 The End of the Waterway
The brick wall, the secret door of the mechanism, walking into the steps under the secret door, the roar of the water becomes louder and louder, until at the bottom, a culvert several meters wide appears in front of you, fierce The water flows down the channel, and the splash of water pours into the corridor.
The sound of the water was too noisy, and several people moved back. Xiao'er shouted at the top of his voice: "There should be more than one waterway like this. We don't know the conditions of the waterway. Can we really enter the arsenal?"< br>
"No need to doubt it." Heiting said: "If there are no salmon oxygen pills, this is indeed doubtful, but with these things, it just proves that the waterway is actually a secret passage. Otherwise, there is a reserve of this stuff in the checkpoint It makes no sense."
Zana also nodded affirmatively: "If you use water to isolate the upper and lower parts, it will be polluted to some extent. The water here has a peculiar smell. I think they use salmon oxygen to detoxify. Maru has entered, which means there will be no big problem. However, we don’t know if the protective clothing we are wearing can be worn. Such fast water and heavy protective clothing may restrict our movement.”
"But I'm worried that the water channels below will be complicated and there will be problems." Colon said worriedly.
"This is indeed a difficulty. I hope there won't be complicated waterways below." Heiting looked at Yuko: "Chief, how do you decide?"
Yuko's preset may exist risk, assessed the worst possibility, and said: "No matter what, it will not be a dead end below. Where there is inflow, there will be outflow." We won’t be trapped inside.”
“Okay, let’s go out and pack everything that needs to be fixed, including everything in our pockets and bags! It can be completely isolated from the outside, and it can also be water-permeable. We put it on first, and then take it off in the water if it is difficult to move." Zana said.
“It’s okay, this thing is a bit hard to put on, but it should be easy to take off.”
After simply eating some food and water, for a while, several people distributed salmon oxygen pills and took three of them in their mouths. This stuff also has a certain degree of toxicity. If one pill is not effective enough when it is in the water, chew another one. pellets. Yuko put away the staff, found the crystal slot outside the protective suit, and lit up a crystal without attributes as lighting. Then we came to the crossing under the steps and plunged into the water one by one.
The water channel culvert is only a few meters wide, and the water flow is extremely turbulent. Yuko and others who jumped into it were unable to fully control their body movements in their thick and water-filled protective suits, and they could only let the water drift. After an unknown period of toppling and rolling, the water flow suddenly slowed down and entered the water storage area, which was probably the isolation layer.
Several people gathered together with the bright light on their protective suits, but they couldn't tell the direction, so they had to swim in one direction based on their feeling. They first swam to the bottom, where there were special square tiles arranged regularly to form a pattern. They groped along the bottom, but because the area was too large and the environment was dark, they found nothing. The pattern formed by the floor tiles was not a map to guide the direction. It didn't take long before they groped for the side wall, and after groping along the side wall for a long time, they found a complete large square brick on the wall with a wheel-shaped pattern drawn on it, which was a schematic diagram of the isolation layer.
It turns out that the isolating water layer does not isolate the entire arsenal from top to bottom, but stores water underneath the peripheral gas chambers and pressure relief tanks surrounding the arsenal. However, the picture does not indicate where the exit is. This is undoubtedly and unnecessary. People who really know how to walk through this passage will definitely know the location of the passage. This wall picture is probably left during the construction of the arsenal and will facilitate future maintenance and repairs. There is no need to erase the schematic diagram.
Fortunately, although the water storage layer is large, there is an end. Poirot, who took off his protective clothing, found a metal door like a round manhole cover near the bottom of the side wall. Poirot struggled to open the bolt and try to open the iron door, but the huge water pressure kept the door from moving.
Xiao'er came over to take a look, rolled up his one-eyed white eyes to ask him to get out of the way, and then pressed the magic power on the door. There was a plate bolt in the center of the round door. After injecting magic power, it began to rotate, causing the round door sandwich to deflect, revealing the Lots of square holes. Water poured into the square hole door until the water pressure inside and outside the door was the same, and the metal round door opened easily.
Enter the round door, close the door and close the square hole. The water level in the passage begins to drop little by little. There is obviously a drain hole here. People swim around before the water drains out. Go forward. After passing through three similar round doors, there were several passages in different directions. "It's so confusing, which way to go. There are no road signs or maps." Xiao'er muttered.
Yuko noticed some pieces of leather among the debris on the ground, as well as a knife that was so rusted that it was almost rotten. Zana looked at the other passages and said: "The tubular passage here doesn't look like water. Among the sand and dirt on the ground, only the passage on the right has objects like leather. Look, there are still a few pieces of rust here. Small hinge of cologne, salmon oxa box. "
The box is made of wood. Zana opened the wooden box to reveal the metal hinge connecting the lid and the body. The size is about the same as the rusted one: "Oh, it must be someone who stayed here. Throw it away, go this way.”
Once you have the direction, the subsequent journey is not complicated. Although there are a few turns back and forth, it is basically the same road to the end. The bottom is a room-like space with a rectangular door on the ground. There is a raised black eagle-billed beast embossed on the door. Just as Heiting and Colon were about to open the door, some noises aroused the vigilance of the seven people.
"What's the noise?" The voice was very soft, as if it came from above the head. The seven people looked up and saw a gilt human face mask embedded in a square brick above their heads, exactly the same as what Yuko saw on the top floor of the Three-Headed Dragon Post. The sound was the mask peeling off the square bricks.
The mask was about to be peeled off, and Yuko immediately struck forward with a magic move, hitting a powerful magic barrier and reflecting the turbulent air current, forcing everyone to retreat.
Yuko said: "This kind of puppet has some strength, I will take care of it."
The mask peeled off, and then there were more peeling sounds, and only sections of limbs, arms, The weapons and blades peeled off from the wall and were pulled together by magic power. With a sound of residual wind, the knight robed in darkness appeared again. Yuko immediately took action. The masked knight waved his black robe, and several rays of dark power hit the seven people.
"This..." Zana and others were temporarily restrained in their actions. Yuko broke through the confinement in an instant and counterattacked with bone and wood magic.
The masked knight slashed with his sickle, and his puppet arm accumulated a dark magic power, hitting the black eagle-billed beast on the ground door. The eagle-billed beast immediately seemed to be alive, trying to break free from the stone door. Then the door released powerful magic power, filling the entire stone chamber, forming a sealing spell.
The imprisoned Zana and others were swallowed up by this magic power, the surrounding scene changed accordingly, and everyone was brought into the magic confinement!
