Chapter 407, Contaminated Zone 320 (Part 8)
The sentries violently destroyed the stone wall.
Fu Yu picked up the heavy Gatling gun and slammed it down on the stone wall.
With a loud crash, stone chips flew up from the stone wall, leaving a deep dent.
Dust filled the cellar, making the already dim light even more blurred.
Yun Zhao retreated to the doorway.
Rabbits' mental defenses are already fragile, and Duan Xi was injured. It's impossible not to worry when he gets separated from everyone.
Her gaze fell on the shards of mirror on the table, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Mirror?
Song Liang used his gun as a crowbar, inserting it into the crack in the rock and prying hard. With a "creaking" sound, pieces of rock were pried off one by one.
“It’s just dirt inside, nothing at all.” Song Liang slammed his fist into the dirt.
"Be careful to control your emotions."
Xie Tu stood not far from Song Liang, using his Tang sword to scrape open the stone wall layer by layer.
His expression was cold, yet he remained calm. Realizing it was useless, he quickly sheathed his knife and went to the table piled with shards of mirror.
Yun Zhao reminded him, "Be careful."
It must be related to a mirror.
This pile of mirror fragments is suspicious.
"Hmm." Xie Tu looked up and said, "You and Qi Ling shouldn't stand too far apart; keep them within sight of each other."
Yun Zhao: "Okay."
The house was vandalized by the sentries, and lime was everywhere.
Upon hearing the captain's words, Qi Ling moved to stand next to Yun Zhao.
Qu Xingzhou came with him.
Qu Xingzhou had just expended a lot of mental energy, and his face was slightly pale. He stood quietly to one side without saying a word.
Xie Tu had already begun examining all the fragments on the stone platform.
He didn't reach out to touch them, but instead carefully observed the number of these fragments of varying sizes.
"Is it possible to piece these fragments together?" Fu Heng asked calmly.
The sentries have already checked all four walls.
There was no trace.
Song Liang stopped wasting his time and, filled with indignation, walked over and said, "Let's try to piece it together. At worst, we'll all go in together."
Song Liang was always calm and rarely acted rashly.
Thinking of Jia Yi's last words, Xie Tu's eyes darkened. "Bring me the flashlight."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of lens.
Everyone held their breath and watched.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened.
The expressions on everyone's faces were very complicated, and they all showed disappointment.
I used to want to stay away from mirrors.
For the first time now, however, there is a hope that the lens will react and bring them all in.
"Let's work together, it'll be faster if we do it together." Yun Zhao simply walked in.
She's not good at fighting or causing destruction, but she should be good at puzzles.
Dust filled the air.
Apart from the two who were still on guard duty.
The rest of the people gathered around the stone platform, trying to piece together the fragments into a complete mirror.

On the other side...
As Duan Xi fell, he was horrified to discover that the person he had grabbed had disappeared.
His heart raced, and fear spread through his body like ice.
Once it lands.
Without even checking his surroundings, Duan Xi immediately shouted, "Wang Jiayu, where are you?!"
The shouts echoed in the empty space, producing resounding echoes.
"Wang Jiayu, where are you?! Where are you?! Where are you?!"
The sounds piled up one after another, making the surrounding silence seem even more terrifying.
The scene before me looked strangely familiar.
Dim light shone down from a few flickering emergency lights on the cave ceiling.
The walls were stained with watermarks and showed signs of age.
In front of him was the number B-17, outlined in red.
But the numbering is reversed.
The escape arrows marked with red paint were all reversed, and the place where the word "Exit" should have been written was instead marked with an inverted mirror image of "Exit".
Duan Xi's head was buzzing with pain, and it took him a while to realize, "Holy crap! Isn't this the base's old air-raid shelter?"
During the Dark Ages, most of the people in the base lived in air-raid shelters.
Until the sun appears.
They gradually moved into newly built houses on the ground.
The air-raid shelter B-17 was completely closed five years ago.
Duan Xi left his flashlight in the side room. He was in a hurry to find someone and didn't have time to think about it. He endured his physical discomfort and ran towards the exit.
Behind him.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of a spent shell casing hitting the ground came from deep inside the air-raid shelter.
Duan Xi turned around with lightning speed, his hand reaching for the gun at his waist.
He's anxious, not stupid.
If it were Wang Jiayu, she would have immediately retorted upon hearing his shouts.
"Who is it?" Duan Xi raised his gun and cautiously moved slowly into the depths.
The cave is a maze of interconnected passages with countless branching paths leading in different directions.
People who are unfamiliar with the area can easily get lost.
But Duan Xi is different.
When he was a child, he complained that his aunt was too busy to spend time with him, and he would often sneak into the air-raid shelter alone when the nanny wasn't looking.
Then he secretly rejoiced, waiting for his aunt to find him missing and anxiously come looking for him.
He knows this place all too well.
They could even clearly distinguish where the sound came from.
Duan Xi quickened his pace, making several turns and taking several steps at a time as he rushed into the depths of the air-raid shelter.
Saying it's deep inside isn't entirely accurate.
He remembered that there was another exit in this direction.
really.
A bright light source soon appeared in front of them.
A tall figure stood there, backlit, his face obscured, only a blurry outline visible.
Duan Xi felt a chill run down his spine and deduced the man's identity.
—The gatekeeper.
Holy crap!
He had only been here for less than half a day, and this was the first time he had encountered the gatekeeper appearing so early.
And yet, he brazenly appeared before him.
Duan Xi didn't care about anything else. He was furious when he saw the culprit. "Where the hell did you take Wang Jiayu?"
He thought to himself, "I'll kill you as soon as I find you."
The tall figure slowly turned around.
Their faces, however, remained hidden in the light and shadow, making them difficult to see clearly.
After a long silence, a deep, hoarse voice came: "You shouldn't have come here. The secrets here are not for you to discover."
Duan Xi was extremely annoyed. "Since we're already here, what's there to talk about right or wrong? Just answer my questions properly, why are you bringing up other things?"
The spiritual entity enters a dormant state.
He was no match for the goalkeeper.
The most urgent task is to find the person.
The figure's gaze fell upon him, finally settling on the red-crowned crane pattern on his shoulder.
"I never expected to see a team with a Dark Guide."
The gatekeeper let out a low laugh that echoed through the air-raid shelter, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"That child...she's a Dark Guide, aren't you afraid?"
Duan Xi was about to explode.
He had a terrible headache, was mentally exhausted, and was anxious to find someone. "Can't you understand human language? I asked you where Wang Jiayu is, why are you giving me this nonsense?!"
The gatekeeper remained silent.
"Who exactly doesn't understand?"
Its tone turned icy. "I'm telling you, she's a Dark Guide."
"She has the ability to control the Sentinels. Your life or death, your good or evil, are all in her hands."
