Chapter 764 Blade of Vengeance

Before dawn, the rain became particularly violent.The wind howled through the streets, almost uprooting the trees on the street.

The storm and heavy rain without any forecast reached the intensity of a typhoon in just half an hour.A lot of rainwater accumulated on the streets, even reaching more than [-] centimeters in low-lying places.

In such wind and rain, Zhou Yu ran with difficulty.

Facing the dike-like rain in the Milky Way and the ravaging wind, the rain gear had completely lost its meaning. He didn't know where to throw the umbrella away, and just ran towards the destination drenched.Even though it was a bitterly cold spring night, he felt that his whole body was unbearably hot, as if a fire was burning in his chest.The blood has turned into iron juice, flowing and wreaking havoc everywhere in the body, no matter how cold the outside rain is, it can't cool down the heat.

During his chaotic thoughts, he accidentally thought of Sang Lian.The scale of the torrential rain is enough to cause a temporary suspension of the subway. Will the people living in hibernation deep underground be affected by this heavy rain?The subway tunnel, which has become extremely fragile after being stained with red light, is adjacent to the sewage river with a rain drainage channel.Once the river surges, will the tunnel really be safe?
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then disappeared without a trace.

Sang Lian.red leaves.The underground crowd.Zhang Mumu's curse.At this moment, these are no longer important.

He ran endlessly towards his destination.There is no need to wait until daytime. With this kind of rain, the bus will stop running anyway.

The gate of the factory gradually appeared in front of his eyes. After running close, he violently knocked open the entire door frame and broke into the factory.Because of the hole in the roof, the ground of the factory was completely soaked at this moment, and the collected rainwater gurgled into the deep hole in the center.

Stepping on the rain like a shallow stream, he turned on the flashlight and walked to the wall, scraping off the green marks with his hands.

How did these dazzling green mosses grow in the darkened warehouse?He had never considered this question before.But can't be wrong.The soft and muddy texture, the green color, the diary fragments sent by the crow were indeed stained with the same moss.Zhou Yu has only seen the same plants in this factory warehouse.

It was clear at a glance in the whole space, except for the rain, there was no difference from the last time he came.He quickly locked his eyes on the deep hole in the center.

Zhou Yu took off the backpack and took out the rope hook inside.The tools were not readily available at home. He tore three quilts and bed sheets, and twisted them into hooks with a drying rack.He walked to the edge of the deep hole and stuck the hook at the end into it.After the whole rope was exhausted, not only did it not hook anything, it didn't even touch the bottom of the deep hole.

After lifting the hook back and removing it, he attached the flashlight this time.

The beam of the flashlight swayed in the depths of the cave, turning into a small spot of light.Estimated from the distance of hitting the wall back and forth, the depth of the cave is quite narrow enough for a person to climb up and down with the help of the cave wall.

He decided to climb down to see what happened.

There was no place on the ground around the cave that could serve as a point of support, so he used a hammer to drive a few iron nails deep into the soil around the edge of the cave.The soil was mixed with rocks and roots, and it should have been relatively solid. However, under the washing of the rain, the surface layer had turned into a soft and slippery silt, and its reliability could not be guaranteed.

Zhou Yu tried to push and pull the nail a few times, but there was no obvious shaking, so he stopped thinking about safety and wrapped the rope around several spikes.

Fastening the flashlight around his neck, he held the rope and kicked it down slowly.When reaching the end of the rope, the hole is still bottomless.Looking up, the dark hole is almost the same color as the inside of the cave, and it is impossible to distinguish the distance from the ground.Only the icy water pouring down from the cave wall proves that there is an exit above.

This kind of situation where you can't see the sky, and you can't get down to the ground, is like being buried alive in the abyss.

He bit the flashlight, then supported the cave wall with his back and feet, and slowly let go of his palms.

The water-soaked cave wall was terribly slippery. For the first ten seconds or so, he couldn't control his body from sliding down.Fortunately, there are many gravels mixed in the soil layer. Although the rough surface is painful to the skin, it provides a more reliable support surface.

Enduring the pain in his arms and back, he moved down a little bit.

After an unknown amount of time, his feet touched the cold water.

The bottom of the cave was filled with rainwater from above, like a deep, fetid well.Zhou Yu tried to sink his body underwater. Fortunately, because the rainstorm lasted for a short time, the water in the cave only flooded to his waist.

At some point, the burning feeling in his chest gradually dissipated.His drenched body was frozen stiff, and his back and hands ached terribly.He started shaking uncontrollably.It's not fear or pain, it's the body's instinctive reaction when it loses temperature rapidly.

But it cannot be delayed any longer.

If this torrential rain continues, the accumulated water will accumulate to an unknown depth, even if it floods the entire cave, it will not be surprising.He didn't have the patience to wait until all the stagnant water drained, and he had to solve everything before the rain stopped.

He bent down and groped in the mud at the bottom of the water.

What are you looking forward to finding?He himself does not know.The crow has already sent the incomplete part of Zhou Yu's diary, even if it was really dug out from this hole, it doesn't mean that there are other things in the hole.

The flashlight is just an ordinary civilian product bought from the supermarket. It is made of cheap plastic, and it neither has a strong penetrating light beam nor prevents water from entering the barrel.In order not to lose the only light source, he did not dare to put the flashlight underwater, so he could only use his hands to grope under the water.The mud at the bottom of the cave is very soft, and you can tell if there are foreign objects in it with a little squeeze.

If there were indeed some kind of secret hidden in the fragmented pages of the diary, the enigma should be the contents of the pages rather than the cave.

...So at this moment, with some kind of deep fear and despair, he desperately searched for something in the muddy water, what could be the secret that would be left in this Jedi?

His fingers touched a hard bar.Slightly rough surface with raised knots at both ends and slightly thinner in the middle.

The muddy muddy water blocked his vision, and his fingers were so frozen that he almost lost consciousness, but he couldn't even recognize what it was.After standing blankly for a long time, he pulled his arm out of the muddy water.

It was a simple flute, very primitive in shape, without mouthpieces, silk wrappings, or horn ornaments.Because it has been buried in the soil for a long time, the body of the flute has turned a brown-black mud color.If it weren't for the protruding bamboo joints, Zhou Yu wouldn't have recognized that it was a bamboo product.

Holding the flute in his hand, he leaned against the wall of the cave as if out of strength, and slowly slid down.The stagnant water covered his neck all the way, and he didn't bother to struggle.

Is this the answer?He wasn't sure yet.But what is clear is that this is not what he originally believed he could find, expected to find, but was also afraid of finding it.

He sat in a daze for a while, just for such a short period of time, the rainwater was almost flooding his lips.With a feeling of relief and fear, he tied the flute around his neck and began to climb up little by little.

The process of returning is more difficult than coming down.The constant sliding of mud and rain made him sometimes confused whether he was ascending or descending.It felt like more than an hour passed before he returned to the height of the end of the rope.After holding the rope with muddy hands, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb up.But just after climbing out of less than two meters, there was an uneasy feeling of looseness from the other end of the rope.

pat.

Before he could react, an iron nail fell from the top of his head, almost touching his face.

Zhou Yu immediately covered his head with his left arm.He has realized the danger of the situation, and wants to use his hands and feet to cling to the cave walls on both sides, but at this moment he is already in the upper part of the cave, which is a hopelessly spacious position.Such a mud wall can't be directly climbed at all, so he can only climb back to the ground in one go before the situation worsens.The nails that fell just now should be the closest to the hole, so the remaining few support points are still not soaked by the rain.

Go ahead.As long as you act decisively, there is a good chance that you will reach the hole before all the nails fall out...

At the moment when Zhou Yu was thinking like this, the originally strong rope in his hand suddenly loosened from the top of the cave without warning.

Accompanied by the sudden weightlessness, he fell to the bottom of the cave.
