Chapter 468 What’s in the iron gate?
Hei Xia Zi entered the building with his two burdens - Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi, followed by several servants of the Xie family.
"This place is dark enough!"
"This place is great! Warm in winter and cool in summer! Perfect for retirement!"
"It's just that the place is too remote, otherwise it's really a good place!"
The building was not as dark as they had imagined. Instead, sunlight was shining in. Apart from a little more dust, they didn't notice anything else.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang huddled behind Hei Xia Zi, looked at the building which was different from before, and walked forward boldly.
"Oh my! Naive, it wasn't like this the last time we came here!"
"That's right! Is this discrimination?"
"Master Hei, let me tell you, when Wu Xie and I came here last time, that black-haired snake wanted to swallow us up!"
"The last time we stepped into this gate, a group of corpses parasitized by black-haired snakes crawled on the ground in the dark! They chased us all the way to the outside of the valley!"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang stood together, constantly complaining about this base that was simply not humane. Their words were endless, as if they could drown the entire base in their complaints.
At this time, Hei Xia Zi's sharp eyes quickly swept across the environment in the entire building, and then he said seriously: "Okay, let's act separately. If you find anything wrong, send a signal immediately. If you encounter an enemy that you really can't beat, don't be stubborn, just run away!" His voice was low and powerful, making it impossible to ignore this order.
After hearing the order, the people behind Hei Xiazi quickly dispersed and began to search the first and second floors in an orderly manner. Everyone was focused, not missing any corner that might hide clues or dangers.
After arranging the others, Hei Xia Zi turned around, looked at Wu Xie and Wang Pang Zi and asked, "So, what are you two going to do?"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other tacitly, then without hesitation, each stretched out a hand and tightly grasped Hei Xia Zi's arm, just like two naughty children.
Wu Xie said with a grin, "Master Hei, of course we have to follow you!"
Fatty Wang also quickly agreed, "That's right, Master Hei! Our lives are in your hands!"
Seeing this, Hei Xia Zi couldn't help but reveal a ruffian smile, which contained a hint of helplessness and a hint of imperceptible doting.
Then, he raised his foot and walked towards the deeper part of the base without hesitation. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang followed him closely, as if they were afraid that they would lose their support if they let go.
As the three continued to move deeper, they gradually noticed that there was a small room every few meters on both sides of the passage.
There should have been signs or instructions on the doors of these rooms, but now they have been roughly torn off, leaving only some broken marks.
"Tian Zhen, what do you think is locked in these rooms? It can't be..."
Fatty Wang and Wu Xie were whispering behind Hei Xia Zi, but they didn't expect that Hei Xia Zi had sharp ears and heard everything they said clearly.
"The people imprisoned on both sides are all test subjects used by Pangu for experiments, but they should be dead as hell. If you want to see them, I advise you to be mentally prepared."
Hei Xiazi raised his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and he slowly walked to a closed door and stopped. He leaned forward and deliberately placed one hand on the rusty door handle, as if he would turn the handle and push the door open without hesitation in the next second.
At this moment, Fatty Wang and Wu Xie's faces changed drastically. They quickly stretched out their hands, tightly grasped Hei Xia Zi's arms, and shouted in unison: "No, no, no! Master Hei! We don't have such strong curiosity. Who knows what danger is hidden behind this door. Let's get out of here quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Hei, my previous curiosity has long been scared away! Let's ignore this door. Aren't you looking for something important? The important thing is to hurry and get on the road!" Wu Xie also echoed.
After that, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi, in perfect harmony, held Hei Xia Zi's shoulders, one on each side, and dragged him deeper into the passage. Although Hei Xia Zi was unwilling, he could not resist the two and had to let them do whatever they wanted.
The three of them walked forward and finally reached the end of the passage.
The scene before them made them gasp - there was an iron chain as thick as an arm hanging on the door, with layers of chains wrapped around the door, as if trying its best to prevent people from entering.
The tightly closed door is like a silent giant beast, lurking quietly in the darkness, making people feel fear, as if the secret it guards will lead to unimaginable consequences once it is revealed.
"Master Hei, what on earth is imprisoned in here? Why do you need to lock him up with such a thick chain?"
"Yes! Considering how long this base has been abandoned, whatever it is, it must have died a long time ago without food or water!"
Hei Xia Zi shook his shoulders violently and shook off Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi's hands that were holding his arms like pliers, with a cynical and playful look on his face.
He muttered to himself, "Hey, well, who can say for sure?"
Then, he deftly began to dismantle the heavy chain, his hands moving non-stop, and his mouth was also busy: "You know, the people in the Pangu organization are not normal people, they are all a bunch of lunatics!"
"Think about it, there is no pattern to what these lunatics do. There is no way we can predict it in advance!"
"Who knows? The guy imprisoned here might be waiting at the gate right now! He's waiting for the moment when you two stick your heads out, and then he'll pounce on you with a loud 'wow' and bite you hard!"
After hearing these words, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang couldn't help but tremble all over. They subconsciously hugged each other tightly, their eyes wide open, staring at the iron chain that had been completely removed with horror on their faces.
At this moment, the iron chain hung limply on the ground, like a giant python that had lost its life.
Not far from the iron chain is the tightly closed iron door. As long as the iron lock on the door is pried open, the door can be easily opened.
At this moment, Hei Xia Zi suddenly turned his head and grinned at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.
Then, he took out two thin iron wires from somewhere and inserted them into the iron keyhole under the nervous gaze of Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.
Then, he fiddled with the wire with his hands flexibly, and only a slight "cracking" sound was heard.
Not long after, Hei Xiazi stopped what he was doing, gently grasped the handle, and slowly pushed open the heavy iron door...
Under the gaze of Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi, Hei Xia Zi slowly stepped into the darkness. As the two were slowly moving towards the iron gate, they heard a shrill scream coming from inside the door.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were so frightened that they stood there in a daze. They could vaguely see a wisp of white thing floating above their heads.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
When Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi were patted on the shoulders, they screamed and ran into the door, not caring about what terrible things were inside.
As Wu Xie and Fatty Wang left, the people who patted Wu Xie and Fatty Wang on the shoulders revealed their true identities. They were actually Xie San and Xie Qi.
Xie San and Xie Qi were looking at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang who ran in with a confused look on their faces. "Am I that scary? How could they just run away after I patted their shoulders?"
"How should I know? Don't we all think there's something wrong with the Wu family's golden grandson?"
Xie Qi shrugged in confusion, then pointed to his head and explained.
"After all, Fatty Wang is a big shot in the underworld, so why would he be afraid of being patted on the shoulder?" After listening to Xie Qi's explanation, Xie San could understand Wu Xie's train of thought. But Fatty Wang was not a fool like Wu Xie, so why would he follow him in?
"If you play with stupid people for too long, you will become stupid too. So in the future, stay away from those stupid people and don't play with them!" Xie Qi took this opportunity to educate Xie San.
Xie San nodded half-comprehendingly, "Okay, Brother Qi, I get it. I will never play with stupid people again!"
Xie Qi touched Xie San's head and nodded meaningfully.
After Wu Xie and Fatty Wang bumped their heads into the door, they came to their senses and saw Hei Xia Zi standing in the middle of the room. It was dark everywhere without a trace of light, except for a beam of light where Hei Xia Zi was standing.
"Wu Xie! Do you think that's Hei Ye? Why does he look so weird to me?"
Fatty Wang held Wu Xie's arm, and the two of them huddled together for warmth as they walked towards Hei Xia Zi.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Hei Ye is a man of great talent, courage, and martial arts. Nothing can get close to him. He must be trying to scare us!"
Wu Xie said this, but his hand was still very honest and tightly holding Fatty Wang's arm.
The two men moved step by step to the back of the man with black glasses, stretched out their trembling hands and gently patted the man's shoulders.
"Hei Ye! Hei Ye! Hei Ye!"
Wu Xie shouted three times in a row, but there was no response. Fatty Wang blamed him for shouting too softly, so Hei Ye didn't hear it?
"You're talking nonsense! My voice is still small! If my voice is small, no one else's voice will be louder than mine!"
Wu Xie's voice echoed in the darkness, but the black bear in front of them still didn't react at all.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang became anxious and quickly turned the man with black glasses over. They could only see that he was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see anything clearly. Fatty Wang and Wu Xie looked at each other and reached out to take off Hei Xia Zi's sunglasses.
As soon as Wang Pangzi's hand touched the frame of his sunglasses, Hei Xiazi slapped it away, "What are you doing?"
"Do you know what personal privacy is?"
"Are you allowed to touch my glasses?"
Fatty Wang rubbed his red hands and muttered, "Nothing happened, why don't you respond to them? You're still playing tricks here! You're scaring people to death!..."
Hei Xiazi pretended to have just heard it and leaned over with his ear stretched out. "Fatty, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Please speak louder."
Fatty Wang waved his hands and said, "I didn't say anything! Mr. Hei, you must have heard it wrong!"
Wu Xie also hurried over to change the subject, "Master Hei, we just heard a shrill scream outside the door, what is this sound?"
Hei Xia Zi seemed to have just remembered, "Oh! You mean that one? Look! Isn't it right there?"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked in the direction of Hei Xia Zi's finger and saw an unidentified humanoid object lying on the ground. Its entire body was black and gray, but what was going on with that shiny bald head?
Wu Xie pointed at the humanoid object and stammered, "Hei Ye! You didn't shave his hair, did you?"
Fatty Wang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the black glasses suspiciously, "You can't be so angry that you lie on the ground and refuse to get up just because your hair is gone!"
"That is Pangu's experimental subject, the most perfect experimental subject in recent times. What a pity! He is out of control, so he can only be imprisoned here, and people have to deliver food every now and then to ensure that he survives." Hei Xiazi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and flipped through the records.
"This is the experimental subject! What kind of experimental subject is this! Why does this experimental subject have a big bald head?" Fatty Wang ran over and looked for a long time but didn't find anything different.
"Isn't this the same as us? Except for the skin being a little darker, everything else is exactly the same as us!"
Wu Xie always felt that something was wrong, as if Hei Xia Zi was guiding something.
"Fatty, come here quickly! It's not safe over there!"
Fatty Wang has always been a stubborn person who does what he wants. At this moment, he grinned and said to the person next to him nonchalantly, "Naive! Look at this guy, he has become like this. Can he suddenly jump up and bite me?"
However, just as Fatty Wang finished his words, a creepy sound of bones rubbing against each other came from the humanoid creature lying on the ground.
When Fatty Wang heard the noise, his body instantly stiffened. He slowly turned his head, and his round head seemed to be under a spell and could not move.
The lifeless humanoid creature that had just been lying on the ground like mud stood up straight after just a short while!
Fatty Wang widened his eyes and looked at the horrifying existence in front of him in horror.
That bloody mouth was so big that it could swallow his head whole in one gulp, and those eyes were filled with white pupils, with no trace of black pupils at all, which looked extremely weird.
What’s even more frightening is that the rows of sharp teeth in its mouth are flashing cold light, as if they will bite people at any time.
The most terrifying thing is that when the saliva flowing from the corners of its mouth drips onto the ground, it actually makes a "sizzling" sound, and even the hard ground is quickly corroded into deep holes wherever it goes!
Although his heart was already filled with fear, Fatty Wang still pretended to be calm, laughed dryly and said, "Hehe! Tiannai, look at this guy, he is really interesting! This little dame is really good looking!"
Having said that, his expression as if he was about to cry and his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his true feelings.
The next moment, Fatty Wang could no longer conceal his fear. With an agility beyond ordinary people's imagination, he nimbly dodged the fierce attack of the monster behind him.
At the same time, he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Ahhhhhhh! Master Hei, save me!"
As the cry for help rang out, Fatty Wang ran straight towards the black bear not far away like a rolling stone out of control.
