“Yes…”
Vivian nodded.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, the surroundings were still silent. It did not look like there was anyone guarding below.
As they moved forward, a blurry door-shaped object gradually appeared in front of them.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei were both shocked.
“There seems to be a door in front! We’ve reached the end!”
Vivian said excitedly.
Qin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating for her to stop talking.
He walked forward and used the flashlight to illuminate the door in front of him.
Just as they had guessed, it was a metal door. It was dark and heavy, and they couldn’t see what was behind it.
Qin Yuan came forward and carefully looked at the position of the door lock. There was a big lock on it. Without a key, it would be difficult for them to open it.
“Aiya, this door is locked. We don’t have the key!”
Vivian was a little disappointed.
“Don’t worry.”
Qin Yuan’s expression was relaxed as he took out a sharp needle-like object from his backpack.
“What is this?”
Vivian asked curiously.
“The Universal Lockpick. Xiaoxiao gave it to me.”
Qin Yuan replied in a low voice.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a little divine power! No difficulty can stump you!”
Vivian said with a smile.
Qin Yuan smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and fiddled with this small object seriously.
“Although Xiaoxiao gave it to me, I haven’t used it before, so I’m not familiar with it yet.”
Qin Yuan said as he fiddled with it.
Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. She looked at Qin Yuan’s hand movements seriously.
After fiddling with it for a long time, Qin Yuan did not make any substantial progress. His hands were a little numb, but the hole in the door lock was still motionless.
“Let me try.”
Vivian said.
“Will you? Don’t look at it just because it’s the size of a pen, but it’s a high-end instrument.”
” There are many buttons on it. It has a lot of functions.”
Qin Yuan explained.
“Just give it to me.”
Wei Wei did not say anything else and took the lockpicking pen from Qin Yuan.
He came to the front and started to seriously fiddle with it.
After a while, the door was unlocked with a bang.
Qin Yuan’s face immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
“Yo, you’re really amazing!”
” Hmph, do you really think I’m a noob who doesn’t know anything?!”
Vivian pouted and replied unhappily.
“Alright, alright, you’re amazing. Little Aunt, let’s quickly go in and see what’s going on.”
After saying that, Qin Yuan first opened the iron door and stuck his head in to see the situation inside.
It was still pitch-black, and there was no sound. It was extremely quiet, but if one listened carefully, they could still hear the faint sound of the wind.
Qin Yuan frowned slightly.
Vivian was confused when she saw his expression.
“How is it? What’s the situation inside?”
” There doesn’t seem to be anything, but I heard the wind. There should be another path leading inside.”
“It’s really smelly and long! These people are really too much. They have to create such a gloomy and terrifying place underground. Their minds are really dark!”
Vivian said angrily.
Qin Yuan pouted and shrugged, not commenting.
Dong Zhejun was indeed such a person in his heart.
He was evil and shameless, and his actions made people do evil.
The design of the secret passage here had to be said to be very similar to the one he used to find Green Snake in the base camp.
Moreover, the paths here were more detailed, so he had to be more careful when walking.
The whole way was filled with a foul smell, and the further down they went, the stronger the smell, and the narrower the road became.
There was only a small path that could accommodate half a body, and beside it was a rough and hard stone wall.
Qin Yuan was all too familiar with the feeling of walking in a secret passage.
However, bringing Wei Wei, a young lady who had not experienced much in the world, would probably make her suffer a lot.
As expected, this dark path was longer than they had imagined.
Vivian was starting to show signs of fatigue, probably due to her leg injury.
The expression on his face was also a little uncomfortable.
“Are you alright? Do you want to rest for a while?”
Qin Yuan saw all of this.
“It’s okay. I can still continue walking. If I stop here now, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.”
Vivian gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression.
Looking at Wei Wei’s uncomfortable expression, Qin Yuan felt bad too. However, after all, the mission was more important than everything else, so he could only think of a safer way.
“Come, I’ll carry you.”
As he spoke, Qin Yuan bent down and came in front of Weiwei.
” Ah, isn’t this inappropriate?!”
Vivian said awkwardly. Qin Yuan did not waste any more time. He carried her on his back and continued walking inside.
“You wanted to come here yourself. Now that this situation has happened, I’m thinking about the big picture. Otherwise, something will definitely go wrong if I leave you here. Do you think I want to act behind someone’s back?”
Qin Yuan looked unhappy.
When Qin Yuan said this, Wei Wei was already a little embarrassed about the sudden condition of her body. When Qin Yuan said this, she felt even more embarrassed and did not continue to answer.
This time, his speed was liberated and he was much faster than before.
Just like that, Qin Yuan carried Weiwei on his back and walked for another period of time.
Finally, they walked out of the winding path and entered a relatively large room, or rather, a secret room.
Because there was no ventilation inside, there was even a strange light flashing on the walls.
Qin Yuan observed this place carefully. It was a room that looked like an aisle. Opposite it was a dark passageway. On both sides were four flickering table lamps.
There was nothing else besides these lamps.
Qin Yuan’s doubts deepened.
They had been walking for about twenty minutes since they came in, and the distance was close to one kilometer.
Why did the other party hide Geng Hu so deeply?
It was not convenient for them to come down and check on the situation.
The strangest thing about this place was that there was not a single guard over such a long distance. Not to mention that it increased the chances of the prisoners escaping, such a long distance was a big taboo for a wanted criminal.
However, the sound of the wind ahead interrupted his thoughts.
The sound of the wind was even louder than before, indicating that the exit was right ahead.
Vivian also heard the voice, and her face was filled with joy.
“Captain Qin! There was wind ahead! The exit might be here soon!”
Qin Yuan nodded in agreement.
” Probably, but we can’t be sure what’s waiting for us there.”
Qin Yuan said.
“At least it’s an exit! We can leave this smelly and dirty place!”
“Geng Hu hasn’t been found.”
“It’s so big inside, but there’s nothing. I feel that something’s wrong.”
Qin Yuan voiced out the doubts in his heart.
Vivi was a little confused, but the old wounds and fatigue on her body swept over her.
He didn’t care about the search mission anymore. His body was his capital.
Qin Yuan brought Weiwei to the passage ahead.
Because he had been here for too long, Qin Yuan’s flashlight was also in a weak state, and he could not see what was in front of him clearly.
Wei Wei stuck tightly to Qin Yuan’s back. In this dark and quiet environment, she did not even dare to breathe loudly.
After entering this passageway that was slightly wider than before, the sound of the wind became louder and louder after walking for more than ten meters.
Accompanied by the sound of wind, a circular exit had already appeared in front of them.
“We’re here!”
Vivian shouted excitedly from behind.
They could already smell the fresh air and the smell of soil outside.
Qin Yuan saw the light in front of him and quickened his pace. He took three steps and arrived outside in an instant.
He stuck his head out.
This was actually the exit of a sewer.
Qin Yuan came outside and observed his surroundings. He did not seem to see the figures of the Daybreak soldiers nearby. He could not even see the camp.
They had found the exit, but this also meant that their search had failed.
“We still haven’t found Geng Hu.”
Qin Yuan muttered to himself.
