C45 (1/2)

Directly in front of us was a wall!

The wall was made of concrete, almost four meters high, and it blocked all the cracks in the mountain ahead. The wall was made of concrete, almost four meters high, and it blocked all the cracks in the mountain ahead.

The three of us stood in front of the wall and looked at each other in disbelief. It was all so sudden, how could there be a concrete wall in the way for no reason at all?

Furthermore, I have a careful look at my surroundings. There isn't even a crack, which means that this is the final destination of the underground.

It's simply impossible. Could it be that the Sakyamuni Army back then used so much effort to come to the Wild Mountain in order to build a material warehouse under the Sky Cavern and then left?

And the Underground City of the White Kingdom?

Where is the Kobemaru I saw on the Fourth Uncle's computer?

Apparently there was nothing here but a concrete wall.

Duan Hui was obviously surprised, but he revealed a happy expression, he ran to the wall and clapped his hands a few times: ”Haha, there's no way, since there's no way, then let's hurry up and go!”

Zhu Yingqiong and I ignored him and walked to the wall to try pushing it, but the wall did not budge an inch. Zhu Yingqiong said, ”This is the concrete wall that the Japanese Army used to be used as a command room.

I widened my eyes. ”That's impossible! How can we reach the end point underground?” There must be other ways, or what about the gunshots we heard? ”

But Zhu Yingqiong said: ”What I am worried about now is not the gunshots, but why did the Japanese build a concrete wall here? Could it be used to defend against the enemy that was attacking from the outside? But this is clearly stopping my path to death, sealing myself inside. ”

Duan Hui knew that he had cut off our route and we would be returning soon, so he gloated: ”Do you even need to think about it? Didn't you see the exit before? Now that there is another wall, the Japanese will seal themselves inside it and never come out. I think there is no need for us to waste anymore time, we need to hurry up and get out! ”

I coldly looked at him and said, ”Your legs are on your body. If you want to leave, leave by yourself. None of us will stop you!”

”Hey, what's with your attitude?” Duan Hui said in a flustered and exasperated tone, ”What are the attitudes of your rescue team? I will definitely file a complaint against you when I go out. ”

”Pah!”

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly walked over and slapped Duan Hui, and berated him: ”I have endured you for long enough. We are not a rescue team, and even more so, we are not here to save you.

Duan Hui was slapped until he was covered, he covered his face and stared blankly for a long while, before turning his resentful gaze towards Zhu Yingqiong, but Zhu Yingqiong completely ignored him. Instead, he walked to the concrete wall, and started to carefully beat the wall with his fingers.

Duan Hui's cold eyes locked onto her body, but he did not utter a sound, and it was unknown what his heart was thinking about.

After a long while, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly exclaimed, her eyes staring at the concrete wall with a pale complexion, I anxiously asked: ”What's wrong?”

Zhu Yingqiong looked at me and said, ”Have you noticed that there's something wrong with this wall? It doesn't seem to be used to stop outsiders.”

I was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant by that. I just looked at her in confusion.

She once again explained: ”Maybe we guessed wrong earlier. Chen San, look carefully at what this is?”

She pointed to the lower right-hand corner, where a layer of dry earth was piled and mixed with gravel, but in the flash of a flashlight, I could see a lot of rusted tools, such as a forklift, heaped together at random.

This was the engineer shovel and many of the tools used to build the stone wall during the march. The wooden handle was long gone, leaving behind a pile of debris, but he could still make out the metal part.

Zhu Yingqiong used her foot to kick the stone wall, then asked me: ”If you were a Japanese person, you would build a stone wall to block the people outside, and would never come out again in your entire life, would you be inside the wall or outside the wall?”

I opened my eyes wide, as if I didn't understand what she meant, but seeing how serious her expression was, I carefully analyzed her words. After that, my expression immediately changed, I hastily squatted down to look at the tools used to build the wall, then collapsed on the ground with an incredulous expression on my face.

Zhu Yingqiong meant that if the Japanese were to build this wall to prevent outsiders from entering, then the person who built the wall should be inside the wall, because there wouldn't be any gaps in the wall at all. After the Japanese were to finish building the wall, they would be inside the wall, which suited the idea of isolating themselves from the world.

But look at these tools, they show that when you build a wall, you are standing on the outside of the stone wall, so when that is done, you will be outside, and there is no way in. Then what is the purpose of building this wall?

The people were stuck outside, so this wall had no value. Why would the Japanese bother to build this wall?

But as far as I know, the Japanese Army back then was meticulous and extremely shrewd. It would absolutely not do such a useless work, and would definitely not waste any time or effort to build a useless stone wall here.

I carefully asked Zhu Yingqiong: ”Are you saying that we reversed the situation before?”

Zhu Yingqiong nodded, ”Other than this thought, I can't think of any other reason!”

My expression suddenly changed. ”That's impossible, right?”

From our previous assumption, the Japanese disappeared mysteriously after entering the underground space. Later on, we entered the sky ditch and saw the most primitive exit, but it had already collapsed. We suspect that the Japanese intentionally blew up and blocked the intersection to prevent others from entering.

But if it was the reverse thinking, what if the reason why the Sakyamuni Army blew up the exit was not to prevent others from entering, but to prevent something from going out?
