"Eat!"
Suddenly, Fatty Wang's gaze turned fierce as he said in a deep voice, "We'll eat right here!"
"Eat for our lives!"
"Eat it all up!"
Hu Bayi was amused by his attitude. "Even if you lived here, how much could you possibly eat?!"
"Even with the freezing weather outside, meat will spoil in two or three days at most."
"By then, it won't be a tonic anymore, it'll be poison."
Fatty Wang instantly put on a mournful face. "But just watching them rot and stink here breaks my heart!"
"Why don't we ask Yingzi and see if she has a way?"
Gu Cheng asked.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi's eyes instantly lit up. "Right, she's a hunter, she should know how to preserve meat."
"If all else fails, we can have her-"
He stopped mid-sentence.
After a moment.
He turned his head to look at Gu Cheng and Fatty Wang. "Did either of you see Yingzi?"
Seeing him ask like this, Gu Cheng and Fatty Wang instinctively shook their heads.
Then.
The two of them froze as well.
After a short while.
"What the hell! I didn't even notice, where did Yingzi go?"
"I didn't notice either, I was too busy fighting for our lives with that little beast, how could I have any energy left to pay attention to anything else!"
"Stop wasting time talking, go look for her!"
The three of them hurried back into the fortress.
Following the blood trail of the Black Flood Dragon, they returned to that previous passageway.
"Yingzi! Where are you, Yingzi?!"
"Yingzi! Come out quickly, the big snake is dead!"
"Yingzi!"
The three separated and searched for a long time, but found nothing.
It was as if Yingzi had vanished into thin air.
Exhausted from searching, the three regrouped.
Seeing each other's disappointed expressions, they didn't even need to ask to know the result.
Hu Bayi wore a look of self-reproach. "I should have protected her well, how could I let her go off alone?"
Gu Cheng patted his shoulder. "Alright, don't be discouraged. Even though we haven't found her yet, it doesn't mean something happened to her. Maybe she's trapped somewhere right now, waiting for us to rescue her."
Fatty Wang also comforted Hu Bayi. "Young Master Gu is right, we can't give up. Yingzi is blessed with great fortune, she'll definitely be fine."
Hu Bayi suddenly stood up, his expression resolute. "You're right, Yingzi is blessed with great fortune, she'll definitely be fine."
Gu Cheng suddenly thought of those two little ghost children.
Yingzi had seen them earlier.
Could they have lured Yingzi away?
Gu Cheng voiced this doubt aloud.
Instantly, Fatty Wang wore an indignant look. "Oh, so it was those little ghosts making trouble!"
"We even killed a Demon Beast, are we afraid of a little ghost? Let's go settle the score with him!"
Hu Bayi had a steadier personality, and he stared intently at Gu Cheng. "Young Master Gu, are you sure?"
Gu Cheng slowly shook his head. "I'm not sure either, but we don't have any other leads right now. We might as well go look, maybe we'll get lucky."
Hu Bayi pondered for a moment and nodded. "That's right, we can't let any lead slip by."
Gu Cheng asked again, "By the way, did any of you see a map of this military base?"
"Damn it, this military base is too huge, we have to search with a target in mind."
Actually, he wanted to find that Gas Chamber.
"I saw one!"
Fatty Wang raised his hand.
"I just saw a map hanging on a wall over there, but I don't recognize the cherry-blossom writing on it."
"Let's go take a look."
They quickly found the map Fatty Wang had mentioned.
Sure enough, it was the floor plan of this base.
Hu Bayi knew some cherry-blossom writing, and between the two of them, he and Gu Cheng managed to guess and piece together a rough understanding of the map.
To their amazement, this base actually had three floors!
The entire mountain core had been hollowed out.
The structure was extremely complex and the scale was massive, completely exceeding the imaginations of the three of them.
The place where they stood was the first floor.
It mainly consisted of communication trenches, warehouses, troop shelters, shower rooms, barracks, break rooms, grain stores, drainage pipes, power plants, and other auxiliary facilities.
The second floor below was the true ammunition depot, supply depot, with well over a hundred various warehouses combined.
The third floor had no information marked on the map whatsoever.
Gu Cheng searched around, but still couldn't find any Gas Chamber.
"Dammit! Even though the TV drama didn't specify the location of the Gas Chamber, it should be on the first floor."
Yet he hadn't seen a Gas Chamber on either the first or second floors.
"Could it be..."
His gaze shifted to the unmarked third floor.
Hesitating for a moment, he pointed at the map and said, "Do you think Yingzi could be on the third floor?"
Hu Bayi also looked at the unmarked third floor.
He came from a military background.
He knew a thing or two about military bases.
Places like this without any markings on the map were generally restricted zones.
Thinking of this, he nodded. "Let's search the third floor first."
Pausing for a moment, he added, "However, just in case, we need to bring plenty of ammunition."
"I agree with that!"
Fatty Wang hurriedly raised his hand.
Half an hour later.
Loaded down with ammunition and equipment, looking like three mobile arsenals, the three of them-
Arrived in front of a large iron door.
This large iron door was the entrance leading to the third floor.
The three of them exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the large iron door together.
A bone-chilling gust of eerie wind suddenly swept out.
It made all three of them shiver involuntarily.
"What the hell, why does it suddenly feel so cold?!"
Fatty Wang frowned and said.
Gu Cheng looked at the long corridor behind the iron door and said in a deep voice, "Careful, I have a bad feeling about this. Everyone be extremely careful."
Fellow Yanzus, writing a book isn't easy, and mine isn't one of those cookie-cutter grave-robbing novels.
