There was something wrong with this wall!
Ye Cheng squinted his eyes, he grabbed Mei Zi's wrist and walked to another wall. No matter how hard he tried to probe her from that angle, the compass would not have any reaction.
Like most of the dugouts, it was especially square. One side of the entrance is connected with the entire underground floor to form an auditorium. What caused the compass to make a strange noise was not the three of them, but the wall separating them.
The earlier dugout had been converted into something similar to an underground storage room, so there were a few more walls and some of the walls even had doors. Although the doors were no longer there, there were traces of old-fashioned latches on the doors.
Ye Cheng used his tiger's den to measure the thickness of the wall. It was at least fifteen centimetres, and the widest part was also at least twenty centimetres, which was even a few centimetres wider than a normal building's wall. Even so, the thick wall could not fit into the corpse. Even if it was all dismembered and placed inside, how many pieces would be cut off? How much hatred would this have? Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.
The original institute had been converted into an anti-epidemic facility just the same year as the fire at the nursing home in the old city. The two monsters and the egg that he had killed in the basement were, in the words of the old man, failures in his experiments. Although they had never gone to the West Side Block s, from Bai Yue's attitude, it was obvious that they had failed.
Before Ye Cheng could search for more secrets at the bottom of the old city, a fire burnt all of them to ashes. The container that the Chi Lin had obtained from the West Side had now fallen into the old cunning fox's hands. He was determined to get here. Could it be that the corpses buried here were his relatives?
Just as Ye Cheng was facing the wall and thinking of all sorts of things, Mei Zi had already escaped from his hand and walked into the room that was separated and built. It was still as empty as before. The dust on the ground was very thick, and if she stepped on it, a row of footprints would appear. This room was about fifteen meters wide and had four corners. Only the fifth wall was slanted and was about half the size of the other four walls.
The walls were old, and the terrain was cold and humid. The white paint on the walls had mostly fallen off, revealing the gray, cement colored honeycomb wall underneath. Therefore, he turned to the other walls and similarly dug out a large area of soil. This meant that the cement wall here had been severely corroded, and as to the reason, it was hard to tell, but it definitely had nothing to do with the humidity and darkness. The humidity in the air only indirectly accelerated the time for the cement to corrode.
The two of them walked out of the room and returned to the strange wall. This time, Ye Cheng was smarter, he entered from the left and right and discovered that there was a limit to the impact of the wall on the compass. In terms of footsteps, it was exactly two steps away from him. He jumped up. The height of his leap was two to three meters higher than the distance between the vertical and horizontal sides. The distance between the sloping surfaces was larger and incalculable.
Ye Cheng landed beside Mei Zi, floating in the air. He had an approximate position in his heart. Apart from the so-called supernatural theory, from a scientific point of view, this wall contained a radioactive magnetic field that caused the space here to change after a long time of accumulation. If he wanted to know the source of the magnetic field, he would have to break this wall. Thinking about that, Ye Cheng unhesitatingly took out his blade, using the front as the baseline, he pushed forward three steps and waved it towards the wall that was filled with loyalty.
"Wait a minute!" She put away the compass, and after hearing Ye Cheng's explanation of the strange phenomenon here, she was also a little suspicious of herself. It's imperative that we find the Black Doctor and the others first. If we recklessly move anywhere here, it might cause unbearable consequences, and we can't be sure now whether their disappearance is related to this or not. "
Mei-zi stared at the weird wall and thought for a while before continuing, "Elder Brother Ye, step back first. I'll seal it up first, no matter what it is, you can't let it leave this wall. Last time, I did sense the presence of an undead from this wall, but this time, its aura is very weak, but it's still in the basement. Undead do not stay in the same place, they rely on absorbing spirits to cultivate their level, so they wander around, unless there is something here that they need, then the items within this wall will be extremely valuable. "
Ye Cheng raised his eyebrows and kept his blade. After seeing Mei Zi use the Yellow Talisman cinnabar to burn it dry, he scattered the remaining liquid around the wall, and in the end, splashed it all over the back of the wall. Using his fingers as a sword, he drew a rune on the wall with the red ash. After a while, the wall calmed down again, and the red ashes on the wall and floor faded bit by bit. Only when the last bit of the dust had seeped into the wall did Mei Zi let out a sigh of relief, and wiped away the sweat on her forehead, revealing a sweet smile to Ye Cheng. "Done!"
Following Mei Zi back to the place where they came from, Ye Cheng somehow turned his head to glance at the wall behind him. Under the light of his back, the greyish white wall gave him an unbearable feeling. Right, it was unbearable! It was the feeling of suppression that emanated from his heart.
Ye Cheng uneasily followed Mei Zi and arrived at the collapsed area. Previously, no one had noticed this place, they had only heard the black doctor say that two patients died at the time of the collapse, with a gap of less than an hour, and that the cause of death was also normal, one of them was in the late stage of renal failure while being accepted, and the other was a worker in a factory nearby. Because when he was operating high altitude, he suffered an accidental injury to his spleen and stomach, causing serious internal injuries.
The black doctor personally carried the knife, although his internal organs were restored, but this person was infected with HIV, no doctor in the hospital was willing to go on the operating table, so the treatment was delayed for a while. After the black doctor found out about this, he flew into a rage and dismissed all the doctors and nurses involved, and also sent a similar report on the related website, causing quite a commotion. Although this person was treated at the wound, in the end he died because his resistance was too low, causing complications. At one point, the black doctor felt very regretful, because the deceased was not yet thirty years old, and was very young.
Ye Cheng admired the Black Doctor's medical ethics, but would often bully him because of his other identity. Every time he saw him crying like a poor kid's family, he would feel refreshed. However, if anything really happened to the black doctor, he would definitely come to his aid.
Time passed minute after minute, searching for the tracks of these ten people, becoming a dead loop for Ye Cheng and Mei Zi. During the long process of exploration, the entire basement was flipped upside down by these two. Even under Ye Cheng's obstruction, Mei Zi was unable to find any suspicious points.
With such a small space, where could he hide a person? If there was some sort of abnormal theory, Ye Cheng would still be furious. But other than the strange wall, this place was just an underground dugout that had been sealed up for a long time. Even Mei-zi found it hard to explain where the ghost that had disappeared from the wall had gone. She felt that it was somewhere here, but under the use of the Warlock, she was completely unable to find its hiding place.
"Damned thing, what do you want it for?" Mei Zi threw the compass on the ground and said sulkily.
The compass hit the ground with a clanging sound and the magnetic needle was smashed onto the ground. It spun a few times before stopping. Ye Cheng understood Mei Zi's feelings. Although he was anxious, he knew that if he were to make a ruckus at this point in time, Mei Zi would also become agitated with him. In a situation where he was completely unaware of the current situation, he had to remain calm.
"Girl, this is the guy we're eating with. You're going to smash it. When that thing really appears, what are we going to do about it?" He stepped forward and picked up the red compass on the ground, then took half a step forward and picked up the magnetic needle. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the magnetic needle had been dropped.
Ye Cheng put down the magnetic needle and returned it to its original position. Then, he stood up, and focused his eyes to carefully examine his surroundings, he had been to this place with Mei Zi no less than five or six times, and for the sake of discovering that there was anything different about this place, he had even seen the marks on the ground several times. It was impossible for him to not to discover such an obvious trick.
With his new discovery, Ye Cheng called Mei Zi over to let her see if she would discover anything. Using his normal thinking, he already couldn't understand the strangeness of this place, so he could only rely on Mei Zi to track him down.
"Elder Brother Ye, it's a finger, there's half a fingerprint here." Mei-zi cried out in excitement, her small face flashing with excitement.
The two of them squatted on the floor as Ye Cheng took out her phone. In this underground room, the electronics were useless like turning around, but it was still possible to use it to take photos. With just a few swipes at the tags and fingerprints, white light flashed under the flashing lights, causing Mei Zi to suddenly scream in shock as she ran towards the right in front of them.
Oh my god! Ye Cheng wailed from the bottom of his heart, since when did this little lady become so violent, in the blink of an eye she disappeared, and before he moved, she did not even greet him, and that was not even the beginning, out of the 20 odd people, in an instant, only the two of them were left. If he lost another one, he could kill himself on the spot and apologize with his death.
However, luckily Mei Zi was not far away, when Ye Cheng turned around, he realised that she was standing right in front of the crater, looking up at the place covered in cement, her face was pale white, looking nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Mei Zi pointed upwards. There was nothing there, but Ye Cheng believed that there must be some powerful object up there that could cause Mei Zi to feel so terrified.
