Seeing Fang Qingxun's straightforwardness this time, Fu Xiaxia asked with some uncertainty.
"I'm sure you're going to tell me or not. If you don't, I will."
Fang Qingxun said with a hint of helplessness, "I let her have her way this time, but she still doesn't believe me."
"You're really that kind?"
Fu Xiaxia still couldn't quite believe it.
"Fu Xiaxia!!!"
Is that really how Fu Xiaxia sees me?
"I understand, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Seeing that Fang Qingxun was about to get angry, Fu Xiaxia quickly said something.
After Fu Xiaxia finished speaking, Jiang Li finally learned the whole story.
The incident started the night before when Fu Xiaxia went out for a stroll. On her way back, she saw a person dressed entirely in black, wearing a black hat and a black mask. The person went into a house. It wasn't a big deal; people wear all sorts of clothes, and it was cold enough that they were all bundled up.
The problem was that at a corner, Fu Xiaxia saw someone dressed exactly the same. Out of curiosity, Fu Xiaxia quietly followed them and discovered that they were going to the same place.
After the person went inside, they must have used a flashlight. It lit up briefly and then went dark. Fu Xiaxia didn't hear anything outside. She was going to wait and see if the person would come out, and then she would go in to check.
Instead of waiting for the person inside, the person outside did see another person, dressed similarly. This person also went in, flashed their flashlight briefly, and then went silent. Fu Xiaxia knew that something was definitely wrong here.
Fu Xiaxia stayed hidden in the corner, so the three people didn't notice her. After waiting a while longer, she still didn't see them come out, and it was too cold, so she stopped waiting and decided to go check on them the next day.
When she went out in the morning, she ran into Fang Qingxun and told him about her discovery. Fang Qingxun felt the same way as Fu Xiaxia and thought that there must be something there.
So the two hit it off immediately and went out to check it out.
The two sneaked inside. It was a villa, similar to the one they lived in. No one lived there yet; it was all unfinished.
Everything inside looked normal, but Fu Xiaxia was very certain of what she had seen last night. The two of them felt that this place was anything but simple and that there must be a secret passage, so they began to search the villa.
However, it was obvious at a glance whether there was a mechanism on the wall, so the two of them decided to try the door. In the end, Fang Qingxun found the switch on the doorknob.
Normally, a door handle is pulled down to open the door, but this door handle can not only be pulled down, but also pushed inwards and rotated 360 degrees.
Normally, you wouldn't see the secret passage or know the secret on the doorknob when you open the door normally, but for Fang Qingxun, it was too easy.
They quickly figured out how to open the secret passage: you had to press the doorknob inwards and then rotate it 180 degrees counterclockwise.
The secret passage is located beneath the stairs.
So after those people opened the door and went in, they used their flashlights to illuminate the way for a while, and then they entered the dark passage, which is why there was no light later.
The two of them secretly entered the secret passage. It was very dark inside, and they walked down for several minutes before reaching the exit.
There seemed to be no one inside during the day. The two of them turned on their flashlights and looked inside, and found that it looked like a bar.
They originally intended to continue walking forward, but suddenly they heard what sounded like footsteps on the other side. Fearing they would be discovered, they retreated.
Then I met Jiang Li and Gu Jin.
After listening to their introduction of this place, Jiang Li suddenly had a bad feeling. It seemed that Jiang Li knew what this place was, but he wasn't quite sure.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious? Do you know what happened there?"
Seeing that Jiang Li's expression was somewhat serious after listening to Fu Xiaxia and the others, Gu Jin asked Jiang Li with concern.
Fu Xiaxia and Fang Qingxun did not expect Jiang Li to have this expression after they told him, and they looked at Jiang Li waiting for his reply.
“I probably have a general idea of what kind of place it is, but I’m not entirely sure. I’ll have to go there to find out.”
Jiang Li and Gu Jin explained.
"Then let's go take a look tonight."
Judging from Jiang Li's expression, Gu Jin felt that it probably wasn't a good place inside, so she decided to go and check it out first.
"That's fine."
If it really is the place Jiang Li is thinking of, then it would indeed be better for them to go in.
Jiang Li and the others agreed on a departure time for the evening, and then they all went home to rest.
Make sure you get enough rest during the day so you'll have the energy to go out at night.
That evening, at the agreed time, Jiang Li met with everyone. All six of them were dressed in black. Jiang Li and the others followed Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia to the villa they had mentioned.
The villa is located in a very remote area, and no one lives nearby.
From the outside, it does look like a normal house, just as Fu Xiaxia said, and it would be difficult for the average person to detect any trickery involved.
It's fortunate that Fu Xiaxia managed to wander into such a remote place.
Jiang Li and the others waited for a while, and finally a person arrived. After confirming that there was no one behind that person, the group followed the person in front into the house.
After the person entered the secret passage, they followed them in, keeping a safe distance to ensure the person wouldn't notice them.
The passage was very dark, and I was afraid of being discovered if I used any lights, so I could only follow the person's flashlight beam in the dark.
Further ahead was a large area of light, which meant they were almost at the entrance. The group stopped and watched how the person went in.
There were people guarding the entrance. After the person went in, the person at the entrance gave him a mask and a number tag, which he then put on and left.
After confirming that there was nothing required for identification or passwords, the six people decided to split into three pairs and enter in turn.
First it was Gu Jin and Jiang Li, then Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia, and finally Shi Yuan and Shi Lin.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin walked to the door, took the masks from the guard, and put them on. Each mask was the same, probably to prevent being recognized.
Walking forward, it really does resemble a bar, with all sorts of drinks on the bar counter, waiters mixing drinks, and quite a few people sitting in front of the bar.
Such a bar is too abnormal in the apocalypse. To be able to build such a place under the nose of the base, and have so much alcohol, Jiang Li felt that it must have been built or participated in by people in the base. The person sitting in the bar must be sitting in a pretty high position.
Jiang Li saw several waiters standing by the walls around him, some of whom were helping people pour drinks.
After the group reunited, they wandered around the bar, subtly looking for anything amiss. Fu Xiaxia had mentioned that they heard noises after entering, but they were certain no one was inside before coming in. This meant there must be other passageways that they hadn't discovered yet.
