Global Wasteland: I Unboxed Top Vaults

Chapter 377 The Tomb of the Underground, a Mystery Like Disordered Threads!

After entering the third underground space, Lin Yue found that it seemed to be much more open than the upper two floors.

"It's about [-] square meters...but there are still enough bones."

The light of Lin Yue's flashlight swept around to confirm the surrounding situation. In order to confirm whether there was enough oxygen, he also lit the torch, and the scene in front of him was indeed horrifying.

He saw one after another the miserable skeletons lying on the ground, some with various weapons stuck in their bodies, some with their heads flying to nowhere, and some with round holes in their skulls...

The various decorations on this floor are all kinds of tables, chairs, sofas and the like. There is also something like a weapon rack near the wall. There are some knives and guns inserted crookedly on it, but they are not neat.As for the walls of the shelter, they have also changed from alloy to stone, making them look a lot rougher.And here, Lin Yue always felt a gust of breeze coming, but he didn't know where it came from.

The light of the flashlight shone on a corner of the room and found something different. After Lin Yue walked over, he found an open door. He looked inside and found that there were neatly arranged single beds, almost More than 40 sheets.

The single bed was still covered with dust, and under the light of the torch and flashlight, Lin Yue found eleven dead bones inside.

Of course, they all have more or less fatal injuries, and in terms of age, they can vary in size.

"Something indescribable must have happened here, it's really tragic." Lin Yue sighed again, there are too many dead bodies here.

There are a total of 27 skeletons on this floor. Their terrifying posture also made Lin Yue seem to have seen the scene of a tragedy.

"They were all shot to the point, and some of them should have been shot in the head and died directly." He shook his head. Maybe, what happened here was not just a tragedy, it might be a more serious one. An unacceptable tragedy.

Looking around, Lin Yue didn't find anything worth noting. This larger area should be the functional area of ​​the residence. The upper floor is the warehouse, and the first floor is probably the place to eat. As a refuge, it is indeed planned Not too good, but safe enough.

However, there are so many skeletons here...

Looking at the footprints on the dusty floor behind him, Lin Yue once again had doubts about how long this place has existed.

No matter how you look at it, the tragedy that happened here definitely lasted more than 35 days.

Who can open the alloy shelter in 35 days?How can such a hidden and deep underground shelter be built?There is even an oil extraction and refining platform?
Moreover, the time of death of these people is also a mystery.

But there are too few evidences at hand. Although Lin Yue has doubts in his heart, he has no direct evidence to prove the terrible conjecture in his heart.

Lin Yue finally shook his head, walked to the downward stairs, and then went down to the next floor.

At this time, a gust of breeze suddenly blew, and the torch in his hand floated in another direction. This proved that there should be a vent here that can ventilate outwards, and it also explained the source of the breeze above.

However, Lin Yue didn't care about this. Under the light, he was staring at the space in front of him that was occupied by dozens of wooden shelves, which was much smaller than the upper floors.

The light of the fire and the flashlight shone on the wooden shelf, and the things placed on it were actually books!

"Books? And many of them are written in the Tang language..." Lin Yue picked up one at random, and found that the cover contained some essential points for growing strawberries. He picked up another one, which was similar.

There is quite a lot of dust on these books, but it seems that because of the humidity, most of the books are deformed, and many pages are glued together, so there is no value for further collection.

It seems that the people in this shelter must have gone to the secret realm to collect a lot of books, and then made it into a library for the convenience of reading.

The torch shone around in a circle, and the surrounding shelves were full of various books, which really made him feel like he had entered some kind of library.

Lin Yue kept searching forward, and the light of the flashlight shone into the deepest place between the bookshelves, and found a dark mass there.

When he got closer, he suddenly saw that it was a dead bone sitting on a chair!
The withered skeleton was wearing a windbreaker and jeans underneath, and there were large patches of blood on the two light-colored clothes. It was lying on the chair crookedly, with one hand hanging on the chair, One hangs over the arm of the chair, held in a reclining position.

"Could it be... a pistol?" Lin Yue walked over and saw a pistol lying on the ground under the hand bone hanging outside the armrest, and then looked at the side of the skeleton with a round bullet. hole!

Lin Yue picked up the pistol and found that it was a revolver type that he had never seen before. Among the six bullets in it, only one bullet was missing.Looking at the bullet hole on the skull, he seemed to understand something.

Does this person seem to have killed himself with a pistol?

Looking at the dead bones, Lin Yue seemed to understand something.

So the ones outside were made by this person, or by someone else?
The exit of the shelter is blocked, so...

The tragedy here allowed Lin Yue to deduce the whole picture, but there were still some things he couldn't understand.

However, what exactly caused this to happen?

At this moment, the torch suddenly crackled twice. Lin Yue looked at the flames that were swaying backwards, and walked in the opposite direction of the swaying flames. As a result, at the corner of the wall, he found a crack the size of a fist. The breeze is also constantly coming from it.

This gap is not big, but it is enough to allow a thing to come in and out freely.

Yes, it is the little things in this world that are responsible for decomposition - those bugs and lizards!

Lin Yue turned his head to look at the skeleton, and remembered the situation similar to this before.

The Bergs.

At that time, what he saw in the underground mine of Berg's shelter were the skeletons of the Berg couple.

They obviously didn't die for a long time, but there was not even a single bit of flesh left on their bodies, and naturally there were no other tissues left, only two skeletons clinging together remained.

In addition, the lizardmen and beggars who died in Area C in the underground ruins also became a skeleton in a very short period of time.

The reason is that it is eaten up at an extremely fast speed by those small, ubiquitous scavengers and lizards.

It seems that the reason why these corpses turned into skeletons is probably found.

Normally speaking, in this closed shelter, decay would probably be an extremely long process, and no matter what, hair or nails would be left behind, but none of these corpses were like this.

I am afraid that this crack is the entrance and exit arched by those little bugs and lizards. After the people inside died and gave off a rotten smell, they also flocked to it. In the end, only these bones were left here. They left through this crack. .

Lin Yue put on the night vision goggles and shined a flashlight into it, only to find that there is a rather wide space opposite the crack!

"Where did it lead?" Lin Yue took out the diamond pickaxe and knocked a few times. The crack quickly turned into a passage for him to enter alone. After knocking at a depth of less than half a meter, he also entered. this wide space.

However, he suddenly discovered that this place seemed familiar.

"This torch is a bit like the one in the underground ruins?" Lin Yue looked at a torch on the wall, which was very similar to the one in the underground ruins.

Looking around, the stone brick walls, floor and ceiling are also stone.

There are traces of torches on the wall, one every few meters. Although they are all extinguished, they are quite regular.

Good guy, are there really underground ruins here?

Lin Yue took out the nozzle and was ready to fight again. He continued to tie the flashlight to his arm, and picked up the torch to check around.

In the large rectangular space, there are no exits or passages on the four walls, but...

"What's that?" Lin Yue suddenly discovered that there was a dark hole on the ground, two or three meters long and wide, square and square, and there were steps extending down.

A sense of déjà vu suddenly flooded into his mind.

Like, been here?
"This underground entrance seems to be the passage I went down when I first entered the underground ruins, and this large space is also similar!"

Wait, no way...

Lin Yue felt his scalp go numb, and this strong sense of sight made him eagerly open the system panel, and immediately looked at the area map.

As a result, it was suddenly discovered that this place is actually Area F of the underground ruins!
And it was the big space he came to when he passed through the stone gate of the underground relic for the first time!
It's just that this hole is located in another corner, and at that time, I didn't realize that there was a crack here.

Good guy, Lin Yue called him a good guy.

Unexpectedly, the actual distance from Area F of the underground relic to his refuge is only a few tens of kilometers?

Moreover, this mysterious underground refuge can also lead to this underground ruins!

Is this a coincidence?
The underground ruins are intricate, mysterious and dangerous.

Lin Yue once imagined how many meters underground the lizard man's underground ruins would be, but he never imagined that the underground ruins here might really be only tens of kilometers away from his refuge.

Area F of the underground relic is connected to area C and area C2 of the underground relic through the ice lizard cave, so it is actually closer to his refuge than imagined.

"Could it be that the stone gates of the underground relics usually appear near the refuge? No, I also met Xing Lingfeng and the others at that meeting, and their refuge is much farther away than here.

Lin Yue didn't continue to explore. In this place that he stepped on, there was nothing worth nostalgic for. After all, he took everything that should be taken, and there was no lizard man left.

While new mysteries have also been born, this is not the time to think about it.

Back inside the shelter again, Lin Yue blocked the crack with stones, and built an extremely thick iron wall.

Then, he walked towards the skeleton lying on the chair.

Even if these corpses have been eaten by small bugs, the dark yellow color on their bones and the thick layer of dust cannot be formed within a few dozen days.

So……

The key to decryption may be near this skeleton, or in this shelter!

Lin Yue looked at the skeleton, and searched around carefully, but found nothing.

The bookshelves are full of books, and Lin Yue puts every book in the storage space, and the system doesn't make a special notification sound, it just keeps telling him what the name of the book is.

Naturally, those bookshelves received nothing in the storage space. These decayed and deformed wooden shelves almost fell apart at the touch of a touch, and there was nothing hidden.

After collecting all the books and bookshelves in this space into the storage space, Lin Yue found nothing on the ground.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the dead bone leaning against the chair.

That's all there is to it.

According to his previous reasoning, a tragedy happened here.

The corpses on the upper floors were all killed by a single blow, or their heads were cut off directly. The methods were quite cruel, and none of them survived. The direction of escape was also the exit. They should all be killed by someone behind Chasing after what was killed.

Moreover, the alloy door of the refuge is locked from the inside, and there is no other exit here, so it is certain that the murderer is among these people.

Among all the bones here, the only one that was not killed by others was the one in front of him lying on his back on a chair with a round hole in his head and a pistol on the ground!
It should be that this person had some kind of illness. After locking the refuge, he had to kill the people inside one by one. In the end, he was left alone, and then he ended up himself.

but……

That might be the answer to the matter, but not the answer to the enigmatic Vault.

The degree of aging of their bones, as well as the dust all over the floor, are too strange.

Even if they had been killed from the first day, the skeletons would never have aged to such an extent, anyway, they should be gray and white, just like the Bergers.

Perhaps, things will be more complicated than imagined.

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Yue looked around the withered bone again.

There was nothing else noteworthy about the chairs or surroundings, and no messages were left on the wall behind.

All that's left is this giant bone.

Lin Yue observed it carefully, and suddenly found that the left chest and abdomen of the windbreaker worn by this withered bone seemed to be bulging, and there seemed to be something inside.

Lin Yue put on gloves, held a dagger in his hand, and gently pulled the buttoned windbreaker. The rags of the windbreaker were cut open in an instant, and Lin Yue wiped the bulging area all around. Cut it for a while, and soon the contents of the dress fell out.

With a bang, the thing hit the chair with such a bang, Lin Yue's first impression was that it was a book.

However, when Lin Yue picked it up, he found that it was really not a book.

"Diary? Diary again..."

However, after opening the contents, Lin Yue couldn't help but gasped!
"What? Why is this really the case? It's a lie... We, are we really not the first?"
