[Extra 120. Private Transaction (4)]
Anyway, Joyner was not in a hurry and had plenty of time to collect information.
The information from these prisoners may help her understand the current situation and determine the direction of future actions. Another layer of extraordinary significance is to verify what Morgana said.
The mezzanine between floors is more than ten meters high, which separates the height difference between the lower floor and the upper floor. Joyner estimated that this was a unique vertical structure in the subway, because underground transportation in pre-civilization eras was always built very deep and carried many unknown functions.
Joyner used her hands and feet to keep climbing, but the hole became smaller and smaller as she went up, so she had to become even more careless.
It took her half a minute to crawl to the exit. As expected, there was another cast iron cover on top, and the rectangular hollow seemed to be a sewer grate.
She stretched out her hand and pushed hard. The rusty grate made a cracking sound and moved in response. The upper barrier was pushed open directly.
Joyner gritted her teeth, covered her head with both hands, jumped out, and landed firmly on the ground.
“Huh?”
The moment her hand touched the ground, she felt soft, slippery and very sticky. So she looked down alertly and found that her hand was covered with mud.
The sludge exudes a musty smell. I don’t know how many years it has accumulated. It’s so disgusting.
But Joyner didn’t care about the mud on her hands. She stretched out her hand and wiped it on her clothes twice, and began to look around at the situation.
In front of him was a huge room that exuded a strong musty and rotten smell, as if the underground sewage from the entire Hidden Sand Castle had been collected here.
Sewage flowed along the walls and walls, mixing with the thick dust on the floor. This place almost turned into a swamp. It was obviously the inside of a building that no one had been to for a long time.
Debris was piled up everywhere, and it was no longer possible to distinguish its original appearance. She guessed that these debris were just junk. She noticed that the far wall was only half of its original height. Several walls were full of cracks and covered with moss. It seemed that this place used to be an equipment warehouse that was in disrepair.
Next to a wall facing Joyner is a huge ventilation hole, most of which is blocked. From the direction of the pipe opening, it can be inferred that this should be connected to the lower passage.
And this passage was exactly where she wanted to get into before.
There was no light around, it was quite dark. Joyner walked forward carefully. For the eyesight beyond ordinary people, darkness was not a big problem, but after she took a few steps, she realized that something was wrong, because she was constantly sinking!
What’s worse, the mud down here is so deep that it’s impossible to walk at all.
She was so anxious that she immediately grabbed the iron grate that was broken into two pieces. This thing is like a slipper, which can increase the force-bearing area and allow her to walk back safely.
Joyner didn’t dare to walk around anymore. After she retreated, she laid her hands on the wall and looked around. She saw half an iron ladder hanging from the ceiling not far away. It was not high and had a big hole in it. She looked up and saw that there was actually a second floor high above. From her point of view, there seemed to be a faint fire flickering on and off the four walls.
The remote senses came into play, and the slight change in temperature on the other side of the fire refreshed Joyner’s spirits. She realized that those human voices were coming from somewhere above.
Joyner listened carefully, with a smile on her face.
The voice was very small, intermittent, hoarse, and weak, with a few lamentations coming from time to time. Although she couldn’t hear what was being said, she could tell that there must be more than one person.
Joyner thought for a moment, thinking that the speaker might be other prisoners held here, and she felt happy.
She crawled along the wall for more than ten meters, stepped on a protruding stone, and then tiptoed close to the iron ladder to test the strength of the ladder, and the rust fell down.
Joyner quickly shook her head and gave up the idea of climbing up the ladder. This kind of ladder has obviously not been used for a long time. If it is not kept intact, it will be broken into pieces. It is safer to climb up along the wall.
She extended her gaze along the wall and soon smiled.
The distance above is too far for ordinary people to reach, but it is not a problem for her. She exerted force, her body rose nearly three meters from the ground again, and her fingers reached the edge of the upper floor.
⑧BOoK. сомAt
this time, four men sitting in the upper corner were talking in low voices around a small fire.
These people were disheveled, half-clothed, covered in mud and horrific scars, with chains on their wrists, and two people were lying next to them. There was a small pot raised by a tree branch on the fire. It was steaming slightly, as if something was being cooked.
“Tsk, tsk, I haven’t tasted this for a long time. It would be better to sprinkle some salt…”
The man with dirty pigtails picked up the wooden spoon in the pot, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth, satisfied. He grinned and said something.
“Cough——”
At this moment, an echo sounded in front of the ruins where several people were empty.
Joyner coughed slightly, then poked her head out from behind the half-broken wall and appeared in front of the wall illuminated by the fire.
In the faint firelight, those people said “Hey” and raised their heads one after another.
Joyner did this in order not to scare the other party, but it backfired. Even though the two sides were still several meters away, these people were still startled when they heard the noise.
“Hello everyone.”
In order to show that she meant no harm, Joyner stopped and leaned against the wall, slowly raising her hand to say hello.
“You, who are you?”
“What do you want to do?”
“Where are you from?”
Everyone’s eyes showed shock at first, and then turned into fear, surprise, curiosity, etc., a tangle of complex emotions. Together, perhaps with a bit of inner desire.
In this closed underground prison, not to mention women, even female animals have not been seen for a long time. But when Joyna, a beautiful woman with a slim figure and beautiful appearance, suddenly appeared in front of several men, their long-term abstinence instinct was immediately awakened.
“What are you cooking?”
Joyner’s eyes did not stay on anyone’s face for more than a second, and she did not explain anything. She asked as she walked slowly, with gentle steps, and stopped when she was about four or five meters away from several people.
There were only echoes and silence in the space, but the silence did not last long.
“Here are insect cakes…and the rhizomes of plants…stone beans.”
Seeing that Joyner was a beautiful woman and she meant no harm, although they all felt that her appearance was a bit unusual, the boldest one among them One still answered her question.
Joyner glanced at the contents of the pot and shrugged, “But the taste seems to be very special.”
“It’s onions, I put onions.”
The man with dreadlocks scratched his face and chin. The thick beard on his head couldn’t help trembling, and then he showed a proud expression.
“Oh, you can actually get these foods, it’s amazing.”
Joyner pretended to be surprised, took another step forward, and slowly leaned down to look into the pot.
