C263 Explosives in the Underground Maze

Xiao Hexin was more than just in danger, he was at the brink of death right now. On the west side of the orphanage, Xiao Letian, the manager of Expeditionary forces, was holding a beautiful doll-like girl in his arms. He leaned against the wall and dodged the burning debris that was falling from the top of his head.

"Sir, are you Chinese? Did God send you to save me? " In Xiao Hexin's arms, the little angel girl actually did not cry, she only stared at Xiao Hexin's charred face, not showing a single sign of fear.

Xiao Hexin was one of the higher level soldiers in the new army, so he understood most of the girl's words. He was very surprised, why was this six or seven year old girl not afraid, did she not know how terrifying the sea of fire was?

She suddenly smiled sweetly, as if she understood what the Chinese was thinking. "Mother nun once said that death isn't that scary, it's just returning to the embrace of the Lord from the world of suffering. I don't have any parents left, and besides Mother nun, I don't have anyone else to love, so I'm not afraid …"

"There's no one left to love? Isn't your nun's mother worth your love? "

"She's already asleep …" The little girl reached out her hand a short distance away, and in the midst of the raging flames, Xiao Hexin actually saw ashes in human form. It was only later on that he realized it was the principal of the orphanage, the "nun" that the children spoke of.

"Heavens, just what is going on …" Xiao Hexin reached out his hands to cover the girl's eyes with his hands. "Don't look, don't look at those flames, make your heart purer, you must always remember Mother Sister's most beautiful time, and don't remember this scene …"

The little girl seemed to have understood Xiao Hexin's words and quietly closed her eyes. Sir, can you tell me what China looks like before I die? Do you live in a house made of porcelain? "

Xiao Hexin could only respond with a few sentences. Right now, he was completely focused on how to escape from the fire. Behind them was a sturdy brick wall, and in front of them were falling debris. The two of them were already tightly surrounded in a corner.

He really wanted to rely on the water on the blanket to block for a while, then use his speed to rush out of the fire. However, when he looked down, he saw that his blanket was completely dry.

"Dammit, if only I had a way to break through the brick wall behind me. If only Dragon Lord was here, then only his Leaning Mountain can smash through such a thick brick wall …"

"Sir, what are you talking about?" The little girl didn't understand Chinese and took the initiative to ask.

"Nothing, I'm thinking of how to break through this wall. Don't be afraid, I'll find a way to save you …"

"Oh, Mister, I really want to think of a way. In the underground maze, I know of a place where you can hide things that can explode, and he might be able to help you!"

Before Xiao Hexin could react, the little girl had already crawled along the corner of the wall towards the depths of the fire site. After crawling a few steps, she actually turned around and waved at him.

When had he ever seen such a bold girl? How come she wasn't afraid of him at her age of six or seven? And the way he said it was terrifyingly early.

However, he had no choice but to follow the girl's body into the depths of the fire. In the middle of the fire was a burning wooden pillar blocking the way, and it was Xiao Hexin who kicked it away despite the danger of being burned to death. However, when he kicked away the charcoal, he was surprised to find that there was a deformed iron door underneath the flames.

Xiao Hexin was also confused, he actually extended his hand out to open the iron door, but the iron door was burnt to a crisp, but he managed to pry it open.

Beneath the metal door was a dark staircase, from which came a cold wind.

"This is our maze. We often play hide-and-seek. I know what you want …" After saying that, the little miss brought Xiao Hexin inside.

Once they were deep underground, Xiao Hexin finally understood that this place was actually a greatly abandoned wine cellar. In medieval Europe, cellars were an integral part of the urban architecture. These cellars were not only used to store miscellaneous items, but many of them had been converted into wine cellars.

The wars in Europe during the Middle Ages were unceasing. Rich families prepared a few escape routes, and as the days went by, the tunnels in these cellars connected to each other, forming a huge underground maze.

hamburger was still pretty good. If they went to Paris, where would the underground world be able to make them sigh in admiration? The entire city's underground area had been hollowed out.

"There are more than ten basements here. All of them are connected to each other. When there's a big fire, Mother Sister brought us to start running towards the basement …"

The little girl's German was accompanied by a very thick childish voice, making it difficult for Xiao Hexin to listen. However, as he observed his surroundings, he slowly reconstructed the entire story.

When the large torchlight orphanage was surrounded, the elderly nun urgently called for the children, and began moving into the cellar in batches. But there were too many children, and because of various reasons only the dean was left standing guard tonight, only sixty or so orphans were moved after half an hour of hard work.

When the Principal went to find the little girl and the others, an accident finally happened. A burning wooden stick smashed onto her, making her fall.

The sixty odd orphans were like frightened little beasts that were hiding in every corner of the cellar. Seeing Xiao Hexin's charred face, they all shrank towards the corner in fear. But when they saw the little girl, they started crying, "Ma Li, where's Mother Nun? Didn't she go to find you? Ma Li, come over here quickly. I have a place to hide, you can hide for a while … "

The brave Ma Li did not hide. Instead, she spoke to her friends with her most proud tone, "He came to save us. This is a Chinese gentleman.

The children looked at Xiao Hexin with gazes of worship, but Xiao Hexin did not have the time to enjoy such looks. He urgently needed to find a way out to bring the children out of this dangerous place.

The basement looked safer now, but the flames were getting stronger and stronger. Who knew if the flames would burn through the floor? Even if the floor was safe, the smoke and dust would still suffocate these children alive.

Most importantly, ever since Xiao Hexin entered the cellar, he had felt that the air was very stuffy, which meant that his mobility was extremely poor. This was even more frightening. Anyone who had been educated in natural science would know that burning a flame consumed a large amount of oxygen, and that the air currents were carried up from the bottom to the top.

If there were not many vents in the basement below, the children would eventually suffocate to death.

"Ma Li, are you familiar with this place? If you're familiar with it, can you bring your uncle to take a look? "

"No problem, this is our secret base. I'll take you on an expedition …" Ma Li was indeed a brave little fellow. She brought Xiao Hexin and began to explore this complicated maze.

"Explosives!" "Oh my god, there's so much explosives …" Xiao Hexin had just learned some German military language the day before yesterday. He remembered the word "explosives" very clearly. Only after he had pried open the wooden box that day did he discover that the inside was filled with explosives that were like big cannons.

"Sir, this is the explosive item that I mentioned before. It wasn't there in the past, but they put it here after the warehouse had a new owner last year …" "Normally, the wooden door to this place is locked, but today, it has been opened …"

Xiao Hexin turned around to look at the open wooden door, and a burst of cold air rushed into his heart. There's a conspiracy, there's definitely a conspiracy. So many explosives should be stored in a highly fireproof area, how could it be set ablaze? No wonder there was an unpleasant smell in the air. Maybe the warehouse above them was filled with chemicals.

"Explosives factory!" "This is the fucking explosives factory's warehouse. Heavens, this must be arson …"

Right at that moment, Little Ma Li suddenly shouted out loudly, "Sir, be careful …" Right at that moment, a wave of evil wind blew towards Xiao Hexin's head from behind.

"How bold! How dare you sneak attack me!" Xiao Hexin rolled to the side and dodged the fierce wind. Borrowing the rolling force, he used a whip kick and struck behind him.

Crack! With a loud sound, the thick and heavy leather boots ruthlessly kicked attacker in the face in exchange for a miserable scream. Focusing, a Caucasian man held his nose and staggered four or five steps backward. He crashed into the wall and the shovel in his hand clattered to the ground.

Xiao Hexin had guessed it right. Such a violent fire was not an accident. Xiao Hexin rushed forward with his iron fists, and beat him up fiercely like he was beating a sandbag.

"Bastard, why arson? "It's your bad luck that you ended up in my hands. I will use 108 torture methods to force you to confess, immediately answer my question …"

The arsonist wanted to argue, but Xiao Hexin broke three of his fingers in a row, causing him to finally open his mouth. But since he had opened his mouth, Xiao Hexin was completely unable to understand the string of bird language he was speaking.

"Sir, he speaks French, he is French, he is our enemy …" Ma Li could actually understand one or two words of French, she could immediately understand them.

Just as the little girl was racking her brains to translate, she suddenly heard a thunderous sound above her head. A lot of red-hot coal rolled down the stairs leading to the ground from the secret explosives warehouse.

"Oh god, the storehouse has collapsed …" Xiao He rushed over like a madman and tightly shut the wooden door. He then used his spade to stab the door.

Xiao Hexin grabbed a handful of explosives and stuffed them into his embrace. He reached out and pulled out a dagger from his boot, then placed it on the arsonist's neck. "Come on, let's walk forward and return to the basement of the orphanage …" As for his other hand, he didn't forget to lead the brave Ma Li.
