After being forcibly robbed by German officers (79 b)
Chapter 79: Land of Death (2) The Line Between Life and Death (Part 2)
A culvert is not a sewer, but a drainage channel built under the roadbed and below the road surface in order to allow the highway to pass through the river smoothly. This special design makes the culvert entrance under the railway too narrow.
You can't enter through the barrel-shaped opening that is tightly blocked by the armored wreckage, so you have to find another way in, enter from the entrance of the sewer, and then cross diagonally to the culvert.
A German soldier tied a rope to the top step of the ladder and the other end to his waist. The first person went down to check the situation, and the people behind him went down the ladder one by one, and finally slid down directly from the rough concrete.
"Ina, just slide down! Don't be afraid! Quick!"
The entrance to the abyss made you hesitate for a second, but it was only a second. The next second, you closed your eyes and jumped down at your brother's call, and Feintz caught you steadily below.
Soon, the sewer was crowded with people. The tunnel was made of stones and cement, and the pipe was very narrow. You could almost touch the top stone wall by just raising your head or stretching out your hand.
The enclosed space amplifies the sound of flowing water, making the noise deafening and reaching an earth-shaking level.
You felt as if you were suddenly suffering from some kind of claustrophobia. In a trance, you stepped on a smooth, mossy stone, your foot slipped, and you let out a slight cry of surprise. Your brother heard the sound and immediately grabbed your left arm and brought you back into his arms.
"Mihai! Are you sure you can get out of the culvert?"
Feynz shouted to Michael, the Hungarian at the front of the team. At the same time, the soldiers in the team who were carrying flashlights and candles turned on their flashlights and lit their candles.
The light instantly pushed back the darkness, and that pitch-black, suffocating feeling finally faded from you.
Mihaly shouted back from the front: "Commander von Kálmán, I'm sure that less than a kilometer from the culvert is the Marojom Valley, and beyond that is the forest of Mount Reimet, which is our agreed rendezvous point!"
"Okay! Everyone, follow the team closely and don't fall behind!"
The length of the culvert is much longer than you imagined. You walked until the candle burned out and the flashlight ran out of battery.
Everyone groped their way cautiously along the rock wall, leaning against it, hunching over, and like mice, trapped in a dark, boundless, and extremely noisy culvert.
Yuri and Mihaly, who were at the front, grabbed a piece of rock that had fallen from the top, threw it forward, and continued to lead the team forward following the sound.
When passing under some kind of pipe inspection hole, there is a spiral staircase blocked by iron plates, from which you can hear the desperate sounds of fighting coming from the ground.
Finally, after traveling through the narrow culvert for more than two hours, passing through one pipe and then another, going back and forth several times, you received a message from the Hungarian Mihaly from the front of the team:
There are less than 500 meters left to the exit of the culvert, and a gate needs to be opened.
"Pass the message forward. Once the gate is opened, have Yuri take ten men to the top of the culvert to investigate the situation. If there's no movement, the rest of the group can leave!"
As the sound of water grew louder, shouting from the front and back became impossible to communicate, and the only way to let Yuri in the front and the Hungarian Mihaly know was through one-on-one messaging.
"Everyone else should rest here first!"
After Feintz gave the order, everyone stopped, but the so-called rest was just leaning against the cold wall and sitting on the protruding rocks.
Overhead, damp and cold air whirred through the narrow culvert, and beneath the feet, a thin stream of water flowed in the ditch, preventing people from thinking of sitting on the ground.
You don't want to be a burden or a numbness to your brother anymore, so you endure the cold and headache, but the numbness in your legs and the fatigue all over your body make you uncontrollably well up with physiological tears in your eyes.
You swallowed back your tears with all your might, and used your hands to support the rock wall to support your legs that were about to collapse in the next second.
Perhaps it was the unique telepathy between siblings. In the darkness, Feinz accurately put his arms around your waist and held you in his arms. His voice came from above your head, as full of reassuring power as always.
"Yina, lean on your brother."
Before you could say anything, a cry of surprise came from somewhere in the team: "Water, water is coming!" The next second, a huge stream of water rushed towards your direction with a rumbling noise.
In the second half, you can find the hidden ending of the return gift. Please give me a red heart and blue hand!
