Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 8 Re-entering the Youth Forge ([-])

After Xu Zhigang returned home that day, he never went back to work. He first told his wife what had happened, and the couple knocked on the door of Old Wang's house in the dark, but no one opened the door.Through the window, they saw half of the sweater knitted by Lao Wang's wife thrown on the table.Xu Zhigang knew in his heart that Lao Wang and his wife were both dead.

In the following days, Xu Zhigang lived in a nightmare. He often found strange people staring at him nearby, with the same eyes as those monsters.He went to report to the police, but the police didn't take it seriously, they treated him as a lunatic, and then his wife disappeared.Xu Zhigang began to pretend to be crazy and foolish everywhere to attract attention. He went to the Z Steel office building every day to make troubles, saying that he had been wronged by the leaders, and that if he died, he would be killed by the leaders.In order to avoid disasters and avoid being killed silently, after a few years, I heard that the youth forge closed down.

After listening to what Old Somersault had said, Chen Zhi felt his brain was in a state of confusion, and his thoughts quickly began to integrate the information.

Chen Zhi remembered the jug of white wine he saw when he entered the duty room of the factory for the first time. It turned out that Xu Zhigang put it there. It seems that Xu Zhigang was not lying.Chen Zhi remembered the workbook, which was written in [-]. If what Xu Zhigang said was true, then when Chen Zhi entered the factory when he was a child, the people in the factory had been replaced for seven years. , then Mr. Guo was killed by those monsters.But something always feels wrong.

"I want you to go back to that factory again." Old Somersault interrupted Chen Zhi's thoughts, "We have done a survey, and the bottom of the factory is empty, about 3000 square meters, as high as a three-story building, I suspect There is a large basement below. And according to the detection results, there should be special metal elements inside, and the entrance is at the location of the warehouse you mentioned.

Chen Zhi felt the need to get to the point, and asked, "Why did you choose me? How dangerous is it? How much is the reward?"

"It shouldn't be too dangerous. I'll go with you." The old somersault coughed twice, "Your salary will be decided after the boss sees your performance, I can't decide." The old somersault said slowly: " There is a reason for us to let you go, remember, don’t ask so many questions, this is a prerequisite for working for us.”

"I see." Chen Zhi nodded, "I just ask one question, who is that Teacher Guo?"

The smile on Old Somersault's face disappeared, and he lowered his eyes and said, "He is a friend of mine. His surname is not Guo, but Jiang. You should remember him. He really cares about you."

Old Somersault seemed a little frustrated after he finished speaking, he returned and took an envelope from the coffee table and handed it to Chen Zhi, "You can use this 2 yuan to buy equipment, can you drive?"

Chen Zhi nodded. He had passed the driver's license test when he was in technical school.

The old somersault said to the third son next to him: "Take him to the garage and find a car for him to drive."

After the old somersault finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs.

Chen Zhi wondered if he heard it wrong, "Give me the car? Really? Hey, I'll go! Is there such a good thing?"

The third son took Chen Zhi to the garage at the back, what Chen Zhi didn't expect was that the third son started talking to Chen Zhi enthusiastically, as if he forgot that he was going to kill Chen Zhi with a gun just now.

"Hey! What kind of games do you usually play?" The third son smiled brightly.
"Oh... I don't play games" Chen Zhi whispered

"Ah? Why don't you play games?" The third son's face was full of incomprehension, and his eyes blinked innocently. "You play LOL! I'll take you, my tuba is absolutely domineering! I'll add you on WeChat later," Sanzi said excitedly.

Chen Zhi looked at the third son speechlessly, wondering if this guy is a thug, his face changed so quickly.

During the conversation, I arrived at the garage in the backyard. This private garage is very large, with nearly [-] square meters, and many cars are parked.When Chen Zhi saw those cars, he was so surprised that he was speechless. He said to himself: "These gangsters are really local tyrants, they can't be so capricious even if they have money!"

There are probably more than a dozen cars parked in the garage, all black Land Rover.

The third son walked to the front with ease, and said to Chen Zhi, "Brother, let's pick one."

"Choose anything! Any car will do!" Chen Zhi didn't know what to say now, he felt that he was kissed by the goddess of luck, and the sky was really good.

After the third son sent Chen Zhi to the door, he left a WeChat message and told him to download LAL when he went back, so that they could duo together.After Chen Zhi said goodbye to him, he left the Shelter Pavilion.On the way back, Chen Zhi drove more than 100 million Land Rover with 2 yuan in his pocket. He has never lived so happily in 22 years.

"The character I've accumulated for ten years is finally full," Chen Zhi thought excitedly.

After returning home, Chen Zhi deliberately drove around the community twice, and parked the car in front of the bun shop. Chen Xiaohong and her mother surrounded him in surprise and asked him where the car came from.Chen Zhi casually said that he had found a new job, and the boss appreciated him very much and gave him some for work.The neighbors also gathered around and praised Chen Zhi, saying that Chen Zhi would be promising at first sight, and that his father was blessed.

After enjoying the vanity for a while, Chen Zhi returned home, sat on a chair, and let out a long breath towards the ceiling.All of this happened so suddenly, like a dream, he couldn't accept it for a while, let alone weigh the pros and cons.

There are still many unsolved mysteries in his mind, but he remembers the words of the old somersault, "don't ask too many questions".It seems that these mysteries will be solved slowly by himself in the future.

At night, Liu Xiaohong came up to knock on the door, saying that she wanted to go for a drive, and asked Chen Zhi to drive her out for a walk. She hadn't driven far when Lao Somersault called.

"Tomorrow I will introduce two people to you, and they will take you to buy some equipment," the voice of the old somersault came from the phone.

"Who is it?" Chen Zhi didn't expect other people to go with him.

"I'll know when I see you. Come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Chen Zhi hung up the phone and took Liu Xiaohong to a high-end restaurant for dinner, thinking in his heart that starting tomorrow, he might have a different life.

Chen Zhi is not naive. Although he is young, he knows that high returns mean high risks. The boss named Bao Ye is so rich and powerful. Judging by his domineering appearance, he is probably doing underworld business.The place he was asked to go was probably either Longtan or Tiger's Den.But it doesn't matter, what are you afraid of if you die?What's more, the most important thing is that his father's pension problem has been solved, which is what makes Chen Zhi feel at ease.

The next morning, Chen Zhi came to the Shelter Pavilion early at 07:30. Punctuality is his greatest strength.The third son quickly went downstairs and opened the door for him, blaming him for not replying to his WeChat yesterday. Chen Zhi told him in embarrassment that his phone didn't have that function, and the third son said to him as if he was looking at an alien, buy it quickly ....

The old somersault was already sitting on the sofa, drinking tea alone, with a young man sitting beside him. "This is Ghost Saber, Lord Bao's friend, come to help us." Old Somersault stood up and introduced it to Chen Zhi.Chen Zhi looked at the young man, and saw that he had a handsome face and handsome words, like a college student, his eyes were dark and deep, he was wearing a black jacket, and his strong muscles could be vaguely seen.In his hand he held what looked like a dagger, wrapped in cloth.Sitting expressionlessly on the sofa.

Chen Zhi walked over, "Hello, my name is Chen Zhi." Chen Zhi stretched out his hand to show his friendliness.

I saw the young man named Ghost Dao, without moving, and nodded slightly to Chen Zhi with a cold face.

"Damn, you little boy, the spectrum is really big! Good looks mean you like to pretend to be B." Chen Zhi cursed in his heart, and took his hand back resentfully.

"There will be one more person later, everyone will go up and look at the blueprints after meeting them." The old somersault clapped his hands and said.

"Am I late? Are you so early?" At this moment, there was a rush of downstairs, and a fat man ran down the stairs.The fat man looked less than 30 years old. He was wearing an army green T-shirt and camouflage pants. He was as strong as a cow, and the tendons on his chest almost popped out of his clothes.

"It's not too late, we're here early!" Old Somersault introduced politely, "This is Brother Wei, let's get to know each other!"

"Just call me Fat Wei!" The fat man patted Chen Zhi boldly.Chen Zhi grinned, feeling that his shoulder was almost broken.

"This kid is really strong enough," Chen Zhi muttered inwardly.He could see that none of these people was good except himself.

The old somersault led them up to the second floor, where there was a small conference room with a large rectangular conference table in the middle, and many maps were placed on the table.The third son followed in, poured a few cups of tea and put them on the table.

After several people sat down, Old Somersault spread out a very old design drawing, I don't know what year it was. "This is the architectural design of the Youth Forge," said Old Somersault. "The design of this drawing is very rigorous, like the style of the State Secret Architecture Bureau. In the location of this warehouse, we found that the structural design of the cellar below is unreasonable. The wall is so strong that it can withstand a hundred kilograms of explosives. This shows that when the warehouse was built, the purpose was to hide and protect this underground area, so this area must be very important."

"Then what are we going down to find?" Fat Wei asked directly.

"Did you see these special metal elements?" Old Somersault rolled out another very new drawing, which looked like an underground exploration map. The whole drawing vaguely showed a three-story basement. The bottom floor is huge.

The old somersault pointed to the yellow area in the middle and said: "Your mission is to help us find these things."

"Next, get something from the basement. Is it necessary to mobilize people like this? This dilapidated factory has been abandoned for so many years. There should be no living people inside, right? If there is any danger down here, you'd better speak up." Fat Wei's expression was very serious. .

"No signs of life have been detected for the time being, but there is an uncertain factor." The old somersault said with blinking eyes: "I'm afraid that the bottom here is not a living thing!"
