Chapter 473 Don’t enter the tiger’s den
They realized that this might be the secret base of the men in black, so they began to search every corner carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.
Deep in the cave, they found a huge laboratory filled with various chemical reagents and experimental equipment, and the walls were covered with human anatomy diagrams and strange symbols.
Qi Tongwei and others were stunned by the scene before them. They had never seen such a horrible place before, it was simply a hell on earth.
They continued searching and finally found a diary in the corner of the laboratory. The owner of the diary seemed to be a member of the Men in Black, and it recorded some secrets and plans of the Men in Black.
Qi Tongwei and others were overjoyed. They read the diary carefully, trying to find the weakness of the man in black. However, the content of the diary made them feel even more desperate.
It turns out that the purpose of the men in black is to create a terrible weapon that can destroy the entire world. They have been conducting research for many years and are now close to success.
Qi Tongwei and others knew that they had to stop the man in black as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
They left the cave with the diary and began to make plans for the next step. They knew that this battle would be more difficult, but they had no choice but to move forward.
At this moment, Zhang Long and Cuicui fell to the ground.
Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long and Cuicui lying on the ground, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He really didn't expect that these two partners who he thought could fight side by side would be so vulnerable at the critical moment. He felt as if he was carrying two heavy burdens, not only failed to exert his due strength, but also put himself in a more dangerous situation.
Qi Tongwei frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and anger. He secretly blamed himself in his heart, why did he take them with him in the first place? If he was alone, perhaps he would have found the whereabouts of the men in black by now, and might even have stopped their conspiracy.
However, it was useless to blame them now that things had come to this. Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to complain. They had to find a way out of the predicament as soon as possible and continue to look for the traces of the man in black.
Zhang Long lay on the ground in pain, with a guilty look on his face. He knew that his performance just now disappointed Qi Tongwei. He wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but the pain in his body made him unable to move. "Tongwei, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble." Zhang Long said weakly.
Cuicui's face was also red, with tears in her eyes. She felt very guilty and felt that she had dragged Qi Tongwei down. "Tongwei, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in such a predicament." Cuicui said with a sob.
Qi Tongwei looked at them, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that they did not do it on purpose, and they were also fighting hard. However, they lacked experience and inevitably panicked when faced with danger.
"Okay, stop talking. Now is not the time to blame yourself. We must find a way to leave here." Qi Tongwei said. He walked to Zhang Long and checked his injuries. Fortunately, they were just some superficial injuries and no vital injuries. He walked to Cuicui and comforted her, "Cuicui, don't be afraid, we will be fine."
Qi Tongwei helped Zhang Long and Cuicui up and let them rest against the wall of the tunnel. He himself was vigilantly observing the surrounding situation to prevent the black-clad man from appearing again. The tunnel was filled with a gloomy atmosphere that made people shudder. Qi Tongwei knew that they had to find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise, they would probably be trapped here by the black-clad man.
At this moment, Qi Tongwei heard a slight sound of footsteps. His heart tightened, and he immediately clenched his weapon, ready to meet the enemy's attack. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Qi Tongwei's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He didn't know whether it was the man in black or someone else, but he had to be ready to fight.
Finally, a figure appeared at the end of the tunnel. Qi Tongwei stared at the figure nervously, ready to attack at any time. However, when the figure approached, Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be an old man wearing shabby clothes and holding a lantern in his hand.
When the old man saw Qi Tongwei and the others, he was surprised. "Who are you? Why are you here?" the old man asked.
Qi Tongwei looked at the old man warily and did not answer his question. He did not know whether the old man was an enemy or a friend, and could not easily reveal his identity.
The old man seemed to see Qi Tongwei's vigilance. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, young man. I'm not a bad person. I'm just an old man who lives here."
Qi Tongwei still did not let down his guard. He asked, "Why are you here? Where is this place?"
The old man sighed and said, "This is a forgotten place. A long time ago, this was a prosperous city, but later because of a war, it became a ruin. I have been living here and making a living by picking up garbage."
Qi Tongwei felt a little emotional after hearing what the old man said. He didn't expect that there were still people living in this seemingly desolate place. He asked, "Have you seen some people wearing black clothes?"
The old man's expression suddenly turned serious. "Men in black? Are you looking for them?" the old man asked.
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Yes, we are investigating their whereabouts. They are a very dangerous organization and we must stop them."
The old man was silent for a while, then said: "I know where they are. But it's very dangerous there, you'd better not go there."
Qi Tongwei said firmly: "We must go. If we don't stop them, the whole world will be in danger."
The old man looked at Qi Tongwei with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Well, since you are so brave, I will tell you where they are," the old man said. He pointed to the end of the tunnel and said, "Go along this tunnel and you will see a huge cave. The man in black is in that cave."
Qi Tongwei looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Thank you, old man. If we succeed in stopping the men in black, we will definitely come back to thank you."
The old man smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I just hope you can succeed and restore peace to this world."
Qi Tongwei led Zhang Long and Cuicui and continued along the tunnel. Their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation, not knowing what was waiting for them.
