Alien Knights

Chapter 2: escape

   Sitting limp on the ground, Xia Shang's heart was disturbed by various emotions.

  Pain, doubt, sadness, puzzle...

   buried his head between his knees, clutching the soil under the wheat stalks with both hands, everything in front of him brought this young man who had been living in peace and peace for 28 years with a huge sense of unreality.

  What kind of **** crossing, fake? !

   In the novel TV, as soon as the protagonists wake up, someone immediately calls the Lord Duke and Your Royal Highness to eat or drink.

   At the worst, I should have jumped out a beautiful little maid, shyly shouting to myself master, are you awake? !

   It's my turn, only a thin body and a few hours of life?

   Trying to stretch his right hand into the empty darkness, Xia Shang said in desperation, "Invincible upgrade system."

   Nothing happened.

   "Universal gold finger."

   Still nothing.

   "Farming space."

   "Important artifact."

   "Peerless martial arts."

   "A grandpa with a white beard is fine..."

   The only response to him was the sound of wind and snow outside the window.

   After a few seconds of silence, Xia Shang suddenly threw the wheat stalks under him into the air and shouted in a low voice, "Since I am naked, I will live and show you!"

   Rubbing the right index finger on the bridge of the nose, the first thing is to sort out the information at hand.

   Judging from the content of the conversation between the two outside the door, the owner of this body, named Todd, was killed because he accidentally ran into the secrets of the two gangsters.

   glanced at the hard black lump that had been frozen on the table.

Perhaps because of the low temperature and the unfamiliarity of the modulation, it should have been a fluid poison, and it became a semi-solid stuck in the mouth. The original Todd should have been suffocated and hypoxia caused mechanical death. The gang found that he was not breathing. , Put the corpse in this room, and Xia Shang's soul happened to occupy this body.

   From the perspective of house structure, interior decoration, and clothing, it is somewhat similar to medieval Europe, but the language used is not English, but the grammatical structure is somewhat similar. The most interesting thing is that it is obviously a strange language, but I can understand it. Perhaps it is because the brain of this body still retains some of the basic abilities of the previous life?

   Finally, it is a matter of time.

   The gangster mentioned that in the early morning, he would enter here and start processing the corpse.

   If you have not escaped by that time, there is only one destiny waiting for yourself.

   was first killed, then disfigured, then burned, and finally thrown into the mine.

   Thinking of such a tragic end, Xia Shang shuddered from his bones.

   took a deep breath and patted his face. Now that he decides to live, he should abandon distractions and think about what to do next. First of all, substituting the original role into your own thinking is a necessary preparation for living in this world.

   Forget the name Xia Shang, now he is Todd.

   Now you can start the second thing, and make an escape plan.

   The small window under the roof is just for ventilation and cannot be used to get out, so the only way out is the wooden door in front of him.

  Using the tools in the room, it is almost impossible to break the iron pin on the door lock. But these wooden boards on the door look old, and if there is a handy guy, maybe a big hole can be pierced.

   Todd stood up and looked around the room with the faint light of the candle, and finally found a 50 cm long iron braze in the stone stove.

   picked up the somewhat heavy iron drill, and made two gestures toward the wooden door. Todd felt a little more peaceful. It shouldn't be a problem to knock on these wooden boards.

Wait a moment.

   seems to have forgotten a key question.

   If you hit these boards, it will definitely wake up the two criminals who are sleeping outside the door. With the light from the outside, judging from their appearance, movements and skills, plus the daggers, nooses, iron hoops and other objects they carry with them, they don't seem to be easy to deal with. With this weak body, facing confrontation, the chance of survival is infinitely close to zero...

   Is there any way to open the wooden door without awakening these two people and escape smoothly?

   Look at the objects at hand again, an iron drill, a pile of wheat stalks, a stove to make a fire, a small pile of coal, a burning candle, a wooden table, nothing more.

   Todd tilted his head and thought about it, suddenly a flash of light in his mind.

  Since just now, thinking has been fixed on the route of opening the door first and then solving the threat. What if the order of action is reversed? Solve the threat outside the door before opening the door?

   Maybe it can be like this, and again...

  Walking to the coal pile, Todd crouched down, picked up a piece of coal and flipped it over.

   came to the stove where the fire was lighted again, opened the iron door at the mouth of the stove, and looked inward. Similar to some old duplex heating equipment in rural areas, the chimney facing the roof has a movable baffle, which can be closed to ensure that when a fire is started, the wind and snow from the outside will not flood and cause the fire to go out.

   Looking at the burning candles that are getting shorter and shorter, and the flames are nearly gone, Todd gritted his teeth and thought to himself that there seems to be no good way except this road.

   Put a handful of wheat stalks into the hearth, ignite it with a candle, put the coal into it, and spread it evenly with iron brazing. Then turn off the stove, grab the wet and dry soil on the ground, and paste all the cracks.

   After all this, Todd looked at his hands full of mud and soot, listened to the crackling sound of the stove, sat on the wooden table, and stared blankly at the still violent wind and snow outside the small window.

   I have done everything I can do, and then I can only wait for the results.

   I don't know how long the time has passed. The blizzard outside has gradually ceased, the sky is shining slightly, and a little sunlight is projected into the room through the animal skins.

   Todd, with sleepy eyes, smelled a pungent odor between half asleep and half awake.

   slowly raised his head and opened his eyes, a familiar chemical term appeared in his mind.

   sulfur dioxide.

   The boy who was awakened suddenly, shaking his groggy head, quickly stood on the wooden table, opened the small window of the skin, and breathed in the fresh air.

so close!

   Just now due to fatigue and sleepiness, I accidentally fell asleep.

The carbon monoxide generated by burning coal will combine with the hemoglobin in the blood after entering the human body to produce carboxyhemoglobin, which in turn prevents the hemoglobin from combining with oxygen, causing hypoxia in the body tissues, leading to suffocation and death of the human body. It is colorless and tasteless. Such poisoning is impossible to detect at all. Fortunately, the coal used as fuel is not pure coal. The sulfide contained in it burns to form irritating sulfur dioxide gas. Coupled with the experience of exposure to various chemical gases in the laboratory, he wakes him up from sleep in time.

   Looking out from the small window, the sun has climbed halfway up the mountain, and the snow-covered mountains reflect dazzling golden light. Within sight, some tree trunks exposing the top through the snow, and a small icy stream can be seen. Farther away are the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist.

   If you are traveling on vacation, this must be a great place with great scenery.

   But now, Todd cares more about the movement in the next room.

   is silent.

   I remember the two said that they should come in early in the morning to deal with the "corpse".

   For safety, it is better to wait for a while.

   The sun rose up in the sky, and the white light reflected from the snow pierced people unable to open their eyes.

   Counting the time, it should be almost eight or nine now, right?

   With a gambling mentality, Todd opened the baffle of the chimney on the roof, and the exhaust gas accumulated in the chimney and the stove passed through the passage and rose into the sky.

   waited for a while, but there was still no movement outside. The boy suffocated his breath, climbed down the wooden table, raised the iron drill and tentatively knocked twice on the wooden door.

no respond.

   put more force on his hand and knocked on the wooden board to open a "small door" for a single person to crawl through. Todd knelt down cautiously and walked through.

   The first thing that catches the eye is two tragic dead bodies.

   The humpbacked man lay in a pile of animal fur, with a pool of vomit flowing out of his mouth, his skin was flushed but his expression was not painful, he died directly in his sleep.

The leopard-eye man was not so lucky. It seemed that he should have been awakened by the smell of sulfur dioxide in the middle of the night, but due to confusion and cardiopulmonary failure, he completely lost his mobility after climbing a few meters toward the door, and finally suffered from hemiplegia and hypoxia. Painfully died with heart palpitations.

He smoothed the violently beating heart in his chest, Todd forced himself to look away from the corpse, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, while still holding his breath, ran to the end of the room and opened the heavy fur. The sheltered door allows fresh outdoor air to flow into the cabin again.

   fell on the snow outside the house, ignoring the cold environment. Todd wiped his head, face and neck with snow water to help the body speed up blood circulation, while breathing heavily to accelerate the gas replacement in the lungs.

   After a while, the boy who was finally relieved, tightened his clothes tightly, first looked back at the cabin, then stood up and looked into the distance.

   Todd’s hut is located on a desolate hill. Judging from the dried meat and fur on the porch, it is indeed a hunter’s hut. At the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see a smoky low-rise building complex. The conspicuous two-sloping roofs and stone brick walls of the medieval houses made him firmer in his judgment of crossing.

   Standing in the snow, the boy whose limbs were numb by the cold wind, wanted to go back to the house to get warm, but he had a lingering fear.

   Finally Todd mustered up the courage, climbed the steps again, and entered the hunter's cabin.

   The air in the house makes people feel a little tight in the chest, and the smell of sulfur has not yet dissipated, but it is much better than before.

   deliberately focused on other places and forced himself not to look at the corpse. The boy picked up a fur from the ground and draped it on his body, finally keeping the warmth that was constantly lost in the body.

   Todd, who was about to turn around and leave, unintentionally discovered a thin gap where Shi Cai's fur was located by the light coming through the door. Kneeling down and moving other debris away, a hidden door and a hoop handle appeared in front of the boy's eyes.

   A word suddenly appeared in the boy's mind.

  『There is no way, who told him to see something he shouldn't see. 』
