Chapter 278 Negative One Level
Not long after entering the secret door in the office, Chi Xia and the others had to go down a flight of stairs before reaching the basement floor.
"That door, including the circumstances in which we came in, the person in charge of the orphanage should not have thought of hiding this place from the inside."
Lin Wenjue swept the area with the flashlight in his hand: "All the corpses we dug up should have come from here."
Luo Xun and Chi Xia had gloomy faces. The lights swept across the scrapped shelves, revealing the relevant specimens soaked in formalin.
"It's a good thing that Lao Cao didn't come down."
Lin Wenjue adjusted the atmosphere and said to Chi Xia: "He is a good person in every way, except that he gets angry when he sees these things."
Chi Xia followed his words and asked: "Why?"
"The shadow of childhood." Lin Wenjue smiled: "You go ask him in person, he can still jump once, it's very interesting."
The flashlight from Chief Zhao swept over. Luo Xun suppressed the smile in the corner of his eyes, stopped talking and walked over.
But when they approached and saw Zhao Suo, Chi Xia and the others' faces changed, and they asked Zhao Suo worriedly: "Are you injured?"
"It's nothing." Zhao waved his hand: "I didn't see clearly when I came down, and I rolled down the stairs. Don't worry."
Several beams of light gathered together, and the surroundings suddenly became bright. Zhao Jianguo said, "Seeing these bottles, you should have guessed the purpose of this place, right?"
"Yeah." Luo Xun and others nodded.
"We also found a ward area in front, which contained relevant equipment that they did not take away when they evacuated."
Zhao Suo turned around and led Chi Xia and the others over: "I'll take you there."
Luo Xun kicked Wei Guoliang and gave him a look. Wei Guoliang quickly went over and supported Zhao Jianguo.
Zhao Jianguo said as he walked: "Now it seems that the orphanage is purely built on this underground floor. The size of the orphanage is the same as the size of the underground floor."
After saying this, Zhao Jianguo pushed open a door. When the flashlight shone through it, dust particles were floating in the beam, which also illuminated the equipment inside.
"This is……"
Lin Wenjue went up first and leaned over to check one of the things that looked like a hair curling machine in a barber shop. There were many long and short wires connected to a round hood . He tapped his temple and asked, "Is it used here?"
From the moment she entered the house and the lights shone on the instruments, Chi Xia's heart suddenly choked up. Some memories began to pry open her senses, allowing her to see her past self through the dust in the room.
The pain that was transmitted from the depths of her memory to her whole body began to be felt through every nerve. Chi Xia's hands and feet seemed to be bound and unable to move. She seemed to have returned to the past when she was used as a test subject.
Her palms were sweaty and she grabbed Luo Xun's hand.
The flashlight in Luo Xun's hand shook, and he looked at her suddenly. The next second he felt the coolness in his palm.
Seeing Chi Xia's expression from the corner of his eye, he took him out without saying a word: "Lao Lin, you guys take a look first."
Zhao Jianguo was worried about Chi Xia's condition and wanted to go out and ask, but Lin Wenjue stopped him: "Chief Zhao, let's check first."
Chief Zhao looked around twice, but ultimately did not follow him out. He urged Xiao Wei, "Go out with me and make sure nothing happens."
After leaving the room, Luo Xun stroked Chi Xia's back: "I'll take you out first."
Chi Xia's face was pale, with sweat on his forehead. He waved his hand, took a few deep breaths, and started coughing heavily because of the dust in the air.
Luo Xun kneaded her slightly stiff hands and arms, and patted her back from time to time.
Chi Xia coughed until his face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot, and he finally felt a little better.
Xiao Wei was so anxious that he couldn't help. He felt in his pocket and found a pear that he had taken when he came in. He quickly took it out, rubbed it on his body, and handed it to Chi Xia: "Take a bite quickly, it will soak up the water."
Chi Xia grabbed it and took a big bite. When the rich juice filled his mouth, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief and took a tissue for her to wipe the tears she had coughed up. Seeing that her breathing had gradually stabilized, he asked, "Did you think of something?"
"I used that instrument frequently before." Chi Xia explained, "It was a very bad experience. I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly think about it."
Xiao Wei was startled and looked at Chi Xia in disbelief: "Officer Chi...you...you mean...you were also here when you were a child?"
"no."
Chi Xia shook his head: "This place just seems familiar, but I should not have been here. The equipment I use is a little more sophisticated than this."
Xiao Wei's brain was buzzing, as if he knew something incredible. He took a breath and said, "Then... then according to what you said, there is a high possibility that there is another place like this?"
"Maybe more than one."
Seeing her hand warm up, Luo Xun let go: "This place has been abandoned for so many years, but the other party's research may not be interrupted."
Xiao Wei was stunned. When he looked at Chi Xia, it was as if he was reading a book full of secrets. He wanted to open it, but he couldn't even understand the title.
"Don't go in. Check outside with Xiao Wei. Lao Lin and the others will go into the house." Luo Xun said to Chi Xia with a serious look in his eyes.
"It's okay, I just wasn't prepared."
Chi Xia stood up and said, "Maybe I can find some clues. What's the point of staying outside?"
She quickly finished eating the pear and returned to the house.
In addition to the instruments, the house is also separated by a glass wall.
Judging from the furnishings inside, it should be a monitoring room, but the relevant equipment has been moved away, and the ones left behind are of no use and it is difficult to provide clues.
Several people came out of this house and went to other rooms, which were basically the same.
There are a total of 42 rooms on the underground floor. Except for five rooms that should be used as offices, the other rooms are basically used as experimental wards.
After walking through all the houses, Chi Xia said to Luo Xun with certainty: "I am sure I have not been here."
Luo Xun turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of questions.
Chi Xia lowered his voice: "There is no smell of blood here."
The place where she was, in addition to large cages and similar laboratories, there was also a small, dark confinement room with only one small air hole. Of course, the most important thing was the lingering smell of blood and the tension in the air.
Just at this moment, they heard a loud bang, and several people immediately took a few steps back, and then they could vaguely hear voices coming from behind.
"It's Lao Cao." Luo Xun listened carefully: "They should have found the entrance."
There were two more loud rumbling sounds, and the human voice became clearer. Cao Bin shouted from outside through a wall: "Boss! We found a hole. Be careful, we are about to crash!"
Luo Xun replied in a hoarse voice.
Several people retreated a distance, and with Cao Bin's shout, a wall collapsed, dust flew up, and everyone covered their mouths.
As the dust slowly dissipated, the light shone in half. Luo Xun waved and called Cao Bin: "How did you get the ability to push down this wall?"
"A bulldozer."
Cao Bin smiled with a gloomy face: "Zhao was indeed foresighted. Not long after you entered, an excavator and a bulldozer arrived. My colleagues at the police station said it was arranged by Zhao."
Chief Zhao also smiled: "Yes, I arranged it. I thought that since so many bodies have been dug up here, there should be no missing ones, so I called two cars over. I didn't expect that they would actually come in handy. "
Everyone was praising Zhao Suo, but Chi Xia, Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue just looked at each other.
