Chapter 1764 Secret Compartments, All Top-Notch!
Rub rub rub——
After Yu Qiang removed the ventilation duct baffle, he climbed into the ventilation duct.
After crawling a few steps inside, he stopped.
He quickly put his hands in his arms to keep warm.
His hands had been blown by the wind just now, making his fingers tremble.
The iron poles of the ladder outside were so cold that it hurt him every time he touched them.
Phew~
The old man climbed in, breathing heavily.
"Yu Qiang, how did you know there would be supplies here?"
Yu Qiang whispered: "According to calculations, this should be a high-end restaurant in Zhong Sphere. I know the owner of their restaurant."
"He has a secret room hidden behind his office. He used to entertain more secretive guests there. I once went there with the station director."
"If...if those beasts didn't discover that secret space, they should be able to find some useful things there."
"That's it." The old man nodded and continued to climb towards Yu Qiang a few times to make more space for Little Carrot Tou and others behind.
Yu Qiang continued to crawl inside, one after another.
After climbing for a few minutes, Yu Qiang stopped and looked down.
He wanted to determine whether this was the location of the restaurant.
After looking at it for a long time, he saw a spherical sign with an X pattern on it through the gap in the baffle. He was sure it was here.
However, the middle sphere was very large, and he had to climb to the restaurant he remembered and still have to search for it.
He crawled along the main vent, and as he crawled, he looked down from time to time to see if there were any zombies below.
There are many zombies in this building, but they are scattered on each floor.
He didn't know which floor had zombies and which floor didn't.
He wouldn't want to go down the ventilation duct without knowing whether there were zombies down there.
Moreover, the floors here are relatively high, and the ventilation ducts are five meters high from the ground. Even if the ventilation baffle is forcibly removed, he will not be able to climb back up after jumping down.
To be on the safe side, it is best to find that secret space and get down from that secret space.
They were crawling in the dark ventilation duct, but there was light below, so they could see clearly what was going on below.
Suddenly, they were crawling and Yu Qiang stopped.
Staring at the zombies below, he said, "Stop."
After the old man heard it, he quickly reminded the little carrot head behind him: "Stop."
Everyone stopped and looked at the zombies below through the gap in the baffle.
The zombies seemed to be sleeping, gathered in a circle, motionless.
Yu Qiang stared at the zombies below for a long time.
His hands and feet were numb from the cold, letting him know that they couldn't stay here for much longer.
Must leave as soon as possible.
"Move slowly, don't disturb the zombies below," Yu Qiang said softly to the old man behind him.
Then try to reduce the range of movement and crawl forward little by little.
He Wenjie and others behind him also held their breath and climbed over cautiously.
Although there are only a few ordinary zombies below, as long as the attention of the zombies below is attracted, the roar of the zombies will attract more zombies to arrive.
What's even more frightening is that if wall-climbing zombies are attracted, the wall-climbing zombies can crawl directly under the ventilation duct. What if the wall-climbing zombies violently remove the ventilation duct baffle and crawl in.
They can then declare death.
The zombies that survivors in the apocalypse least want to encounter are wall-climbing zombies. These zombies are very flexible and thin. Once bitten, it only takes three seconds to turn into a zombie.
They controlled the rhythm and left this dangerous place little by little.
They crawled in the ventilation duct for nearly half an hour, looking for the restaurant.
They even climbed the same place twice.
He Wenjie breathed heavily, grabbed the little carrot head in front of him and said:
"Ask, how long will it take to arrive?"
The little carrot head turned his head and whispered:
"Don't ask, Brother Yu is probably very anxious too."
"Okay." He Wenjie sighed.
He really couldn't hold on any longer.
He was too tired and kept crawling. Now he could clearly feel death approaching him.
He could feel his body slowly becoming stiff.
If he hadn't kept up his energy and kept crawling, he would probably have turned into a corpse by now.
It consumes too much energy.
If he didn't gain anything from the secret base he was going to later, he didn't feel like he had the strength to climb out of here.
Accept your fate.
well.
He continued to crawl along.
Yu Qiang in front was under great pressure. At this moment, not only his life was at stake, but the lives of the four people following him could almost be said to have been handed over to him.
Passed another crossroads.
Yu Qiang stopped and recalled for a moment. He just walked to the left, walked around on the left and came back, and probably returned here on the right.
Then go straight and try.
He continued to crawl forward, and when he pushed hard with his toes, he could no longer feel the existence of his toes.
No longer conscious.
His fingers were tucked into his cuffs, relying on his arms for strength.
After another ten minutes of crawling.
He stopped and looked down at the fender.
Through the gap in the baffle, he saw a sign on the right front.
"Jiang Nan Yun."
"This is it!"
He breathed heavily and told the people behind him.
The old man told the little Luobotou, and the little Luobotou told He Wenjie and Zhuang Qian behind him.
Everyone was excited.
Everyone is on the verge of reaching the limit, the real limit.
Along the way, they squeezed too much strength, breaking through their physical limits again and again. They were forced to break through, and if they stopped, they would only die, so they kept going.
Cold, hungry, tired, a triple whammy.
And just when they could no longer hold on, they finally found it.
On the way, they also wanted to come down from the ventilation duct and walk on the ground to search.
But as they crawled, they gradually discovered that there were hundreds of zombies scattered on this floor, and there might be more that they didn't see.
They dare not come down.
What if I came down and saw four or five zombies, but then I came down and saw, holy shit.
There were dozens of zombies standing nearby.
It's impossible to go up again.
Based on his vague memory, Yu Qiang crawled to the office of boss Jiang Nanyun.
On the way, they crawled through the restaurant kitchen. The kitchen fume vent was external and not the same pipe as the one they crawled through.
The restaurant kitchen was empty, with nothing in it.
Not to mention rice, flour, oil and the like, there was none at all, and even the kitchen utensils had been emptied.
Yu Qiang was not surprised when he saw this scene.
After all, this person from Fortress of Hope has occupied this building for so long, and the materials inside have probably been dug up and cleaned thoroughly.
They crawled across the kitchen and crawled for a few more minutes.
Finally we arrived at Boss Jiang Nanyun’s office. This office was small, only twenty square meters.
Yu Qiang and others did not stop at the boss's office, but continued to crawl forward.
Suddenly, Yu Qiang saw a hexagonal frame in front of him, blocking the way.
Oh shit!
The ax he just held made a friction sound while crawling, so he had no choice but to put it in the pipe.
So he asked the old man behind him:
"Ask them if they have an axe. There are some sticks blocking the way. I need to pry them open."
The old man passed the news to the back.
After He Wenjie heard that he wanted an axe, he said with some embarrassment:
"I lost mine too. Do you still have yours, Lao Zhuang?"
Zhuang Qian remained silent, untied the rope from his back, and handed over his fire ax.
"I still have it with me."
"That's great, Lao Zhuang, you're still safe." He Wenjie took the ax and handed it to the carrot head in front of him.
One by one, they were passed to Yu Qiang's hands.
Yu Qiang took the ax and used the principle of leverage to pry the iron rods hard.
Kakaka——
The sound of the iron rod being pried echoed in the ventilation ducts.
The sound is huge.
The ventilation ducts spread out and spread around.
After the sound is blocked by the iron plate, it is refracted to other places.
Suddenly, the roar of zombies sounded from somewhere behind.
They couldn't tell where the zombie roars came from.
After Yu Qiang heard the roar of the zombies behind him, he immediately stopped.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to what was going on around them.
One minute later.
In the darkness, everyone whispered.
"Do you want to continue?"
"Go on, it seems like the zombies are still far away from us."
"Why don't you wait until the zombies stop screaming and continue?"
"No, if you continue to pry later, there will definitely be sounds, and the zombies will definitely be awakened. It's better to get it in place at once. Pry it open quickly!"
"Yes, before the zombies find where we are, pry it open quickly."
"OK."
Yu Qiang doesn't care whether the sound is loud or not, any pry will cause vibration.
He just kept doing it and pressed down with all his strength.
Bang!
An iron rod was pried open by him.
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:!! Updated!
He tried, but still couldn't get in.
So I continued to pry the second one.
Hey!
clang!
The moment the iron pole was pried open, it hit the iron plate next to it, making a crisp sound.
The roaring sounds of zombies were getting closer and closer to them.
After Yu Qiang pried open two iron rods, he folded them to the opposite side. The other two iron rods had no support and could be easily pried open.
I tried it, and I can get in.
Yu Qiang got in without hesitation.
"Come in quickly."
He crawled inside with all his strength, and the old man, Little Carrot Head and others behind him hurriedly crawled forward.
There are still two iron rods, but everyone can get into them.
That is because everyone has been hungry for a long time and is very skinny. Otherwise, a normal figure would definitely not be able to get through this gap, and it would be easy to get stuck in the iron rod.
After everyone got in, they crawled into the dark space for several meters.
The front suddenly became bright.
Through the baffle, there is a space of nearly one hundred square meters below.
A huge landscape painting hangs on the wall, a picture of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
At the entrance is the Xie Cigar Bar, with two leather sofas that look very high-quality.
Next to it is a small bar, with a neat row of foreign wines placed behind the bar.
The black marble bar was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Going further inside is a central island with a row of antiques placed on it.
On the right is a huge dining table that can accommodate at least twenty people.
Going further to the right, there is a leisure area.
There is a billiard table, a mahjong table, an exquisite table football, and two massage chairs.
Going further inside, there is a door, behind which is a small compartment.
There is a room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. This place is where the boss dates his secretary.
Rumor has it that this restaurant has never made money.
But this boss has more than just this restaurant. He has many other businesses.
This restaurant is just a private restaurant he opened, just for dining and trading with some people in power and winning over their feelings.
Yu Qiang looked at the neatly arranged foreign wines on the bar counter and realized that this place had not been found by the group of people from the Fortress of Hope above.
He said excitedly:
"Brothers, we can survive!"
He couldn't wait to pry open the ventilation baffle with an axe.
Throw the axe down.
The floor was five meters high, and he just pried open the space above the leather sofa.
He is 1.8 meters tall. If he holds the baffle with both hands and stands vertically, he will be about 2.2 meters tall.
Adding the half-meter height of the leather sofa below, it will be 2.7 meters tall.
5 meters minus 2.7 meters is 2.3 meters.
It shouldn't be a big problem for his legs to land at 2.3 meters.
He held the baffle with both hands and let go.
His feet stepped on the leather sofa and bounced up.
Plop!
With the cushioning of the leather sofa, he rolled to the ground without getting hurt.
After he jumped down, he quickly ran to the bar and searched.
Suddenly, he saw a very conspicuous red can.
Looking down, there was still a full can.
Coke!
This is a great thing to replenish energy.
High in sugar!
The weather was too cold, and the coke in the can was frozen solid. He quickly stuffed it into his arms and heated it with his body temperature to keep warm.
He looked inside the cabinet and found a lighter.
After thinking for a while, he tore the water next to the window and threw it into an iron basin.
The flame burned.
He quickly put the Coke in his arms next to it to heat it.
The old man who followed him came over.
Yu Qiang saw the old man coming over, and he pointed to the twenty bottles of Coke with his right hand with a proud look on his face.
"You! Bullshit!" The old man gave a thumbs up, ran over hurriedly, put down his hands to warm the fire, and looked at the Coke next to the fire with expectation.
When a person does not eat for a long time, the fastest way to replenish energy is to replenish sugar.
This Coke is a calorie bomb, which can quickly replenish their energy.
He Wenjie, Xiaoluotou, Zhuang Qian and others came down from above.
They were stunned to see them warming the fire and the bottles of Coke.
How long have I not seen this thing.
"Brother Yu, from today on, I am your man!" He Wenjie squatted beside the fire and said with a smile.
"I agree, Yu Qiang will be the captain of our team in the future!" Zhuang Qian nodded.
Little Radish nodded vigorously, raising his hand high to express his agreement.
Little Radish is only seventeen years old this year, but he looks about thirteen or fourteen years old.
He is only about 1.5 meters tall, less than 1.6 meters tall.
He was only ten years old when the apocalypse broke out.
In the six or seven years of the apocalypse, let alone eating nutritious food, it was difficult to even eat a meal every day.
He often starved for a few days, ate a meal, ate a meal, and starved for a few days.
It was not easy for him to survive in this cruel apocalypse.
Because of this, he looked about the same height as a thirteen-year-old child at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
The old man also nodded in agreement, looked at Yu Qiang and said:
"Yu Qiang, we will listen to you from now on."
"It's not easy for us. We have all experienced a lot and know how rare it is to have a reliable team. Basically, we are selfish."
"This time, escaping from above is also a life-saving. Our lives all depend on you!"
"Yes, without you, we can't survive." He Wenjie nodded.
Zhuang Qian smiled and said: "Yu Qiang, everyone agrees with you, you can be our captain."
Everyone looked at Yu Qiang, wanting to know his answer.
Willing or not.
Being a captain has rights, but also obligations.
Not everyone is willing to be a captain.
Yu Qiang lowered his head in silence.
Everyone saw his expression and had bad thoughts.
Could he refuse?
"I thought I was already the captain." Yu Qiang suddenly said this.
"Hahaha. Shit."
"Scared me to death."
"You."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least without Yu Qiang this time, they couldn't escape from the tiger's mouth.
Yu Qiang walked out from the bar and walked to the row of sealed cabinets behind the dining table.
With a mysterious smile, he said to them:
"Here's a big gift for you."
He opened the cabinet.
Everyone hurried over.
Yu Qiang brought out a huge ham and said to everyone:
"Italian Iberian ham, 149,999 yuan before the end of the world, and the cabinets next to it are all, if I remember correctly."
Then he opened the cabinet on the bottom layer,
"Top-grade dried sea cucumbers, top-grade Pu'er tea."
"Brothers, we."
"We're rich!"
