Chapter 524

Grandmother: "Oh my God, the door of Tara is open, that's great. Come out of Tara, you come with me."

As he spoke, he bent over and stepped out.

Tara also hurriedly walked out with her head down.

With the light of the flashlight, Tara could see clearly: the outside was indeed a tunnel, the height, Tara did not touch the top when standing upright, and the width, it would be no problem to pass a fat man like Sandra.

Grandmother: "It's coming out, it's great...the air outside is much better than inside..."

It was really choking inside.

Before Tara could ask how to close the door, she heard the sound of running from the right, clearly in the tunnel.

who is it?

Tara shielded the old grandmother behind her, and subconsciously clenched the gun tightly.

"Ramon, Ramon, run slowly...wait for me..."

It was Olga's voice.

Tara called to the source of the voice: "Ramon, Olga, we are here..."

And shine the flashlight deep into the tunnel.

Then a small figure appeared in front of him, and it was indeed Ramon who ran over.

Ramon ran forward and grabbed Tara's hand, "Is Sister Manna okay?"

"Oh, she's fine."

Ramon reached out to shake Manna's little hand, and Manna started giggling.

Mommy didn't lie to her, she obeyed obediently, and sure enough, she saw Brother Ramon.

Then Olga appeared in front of them, "Thank God, old grandmother, Tara, you are out. There was a big fire outside just now, and the smoke came in quickly... I am worried that you will not be able to find the switch and come out... When Sam was leaving, he specifically told me to come and have a look in case of special circumstances..."

Grandmother: "Yes, I almost couldn't get out, thanks to Tara's cleverness."

Tara: "Where are Sam and the others?"

Olga: "All the men stayed outside."

Tara: "They...will not be in danger?"

"With Pete Chen and Carlos here, there shouldn't be any danger."

Seeing that Olga said lightly and didn't care, Tara stopped worrying, and it was useless for her to worry.

"Can this door be opened from the outside? Where is the switch?"

Olga: "Yes. The switch can be opened from the outside, you see the switch is here."

Olga shone the flashlight on the ground below the tunnel, where there was a circular pattern, the size of a basketball, divided into black and white in the middle.

The pattern looked familiar to Tara.

"Oh, it's very similar to a lake, it's a smaller version of a lake."

Aojia: "Peter Chen said that this is called Tai Chi Diagram. Black is off, white is on, just step on it lightly with your foot."

Grandma: "Close it quickly, the smoke will come out."

Olga stepped on the blackness, and the door shut itself, trapping the smoke inside.

The air in the tunnel is obviously much better, and it is no longer choking.

Tara: "It's amazing, the design is so ingenious. This, when was this built, it must have taken a lot of effort."

Olga: "For several years, the tunnel outside is the main road, which is in a circle, connecting the cellars of the eight families on the farm, and there are some branch roads in the middle. I don't know where it leads.

You can also go to Victor's house along the left side of this tunnel, and you can go to my house and Carlos' house on the right side, and then to Pete Chen and other people's houses.I don't think we can stay in the cellar anymore, everyone must have come out.Come on, grandma, Tara, go to the right, follow me, we go round with the others. "

"Grandma, do you need me to help you?"

"No, I'll just hold on to the wall. The ground is fairly flat and I won't fall over."

Olga took Ramon to lead the way.

The old grandmother was talking in front, and Tara followed behind with a flashlight.

She never dreamed that one day she would hide in the cellar and walk through the tunnels.

It's a bit like the movies I watched before, those Jews hid in the basement or in the sewers to avoid the capture of the German army.

This is completely different from her previous life.

Since she left San Francisco with Manna, she has embarked on a different path. Although she has some mental preparations, from Los Angeles to the present, she has continuously refreshed her cognition time and time again—the world is full of wonders.

She flew around as a stewardess before, and she has been to many countries and regions, so she has seen a lot, but now she feels like a frog at the bottom of a well, and she has never flown out of that sky.

Leaving this time opened up another life.

She was thinking, this underground is by no means what she saw, there should be other places besides this tunnel.

What she experienced today has already surprised her.No matter how surprised she is, she will take it calmly.

Olga, who was walking in front, stopped and said, "This is my cellar."

Tara looked at both sides, there were bare walls, how could she tell that it was their house?

As if knowing Tara's question, Olga pointed the flashlight at the ground under her feet, "The answer is here..."

The flashlight illuminates a circular pattern, which is the Taiji diagram.

"Peter Chen said that every house has a door, and we use this to identify it. Where there is a Tai Chi picture, there is a door. The Tai Chi picture is both a sign and a switch. Open the door and you will be the cellar. You can go out from the cellar of any house. But Not now, the fire is raging outside, we have to go somewhere else."

Olga finished speaking and moved on.

Then they walked to Carlos' house, and also saw the Taiji diagram on the ground.

Going further, the tunnel diverges here.

Olga: "To the left is Pete Chen's house, or the main road. This fork leads to the cave."

Tara: "Cave?"

Grandmother: "I've only been to Carlos, not the cave."

Olga: "Isn't there a mountain behind Carlos's house? There is a cave under the mountain, and this is the road leading to the cave. Others will also go to the cave to meet, and they have another road leading to the cave, hehe, this time But it's fun again."

After walking for a long time, I heard Olga say: "Be careful, there are stairs starting up ahead. Grandmother, I will help you, Ramon, you take the flashlight and go up to lead the way."

Ramon agreed and ran up there with a flashlight.

Suddenly Ramon's surprised voice came from above: "Dad...Uncle Carlos..."

Then two tall men appeared.

It was Sam and Carlos, coming down the stairs.

"Grandma, are you all right?"

"It's okay, we are all fine. I didn't expect my old bones to go back to the tunnel at this time. Sam, Carlos, how about you?"

Carlos: "Everything is fine, only two of Mubak's people were injured."

Olga: "Where are the robbers? Have they all escaped?"

Sam: "Some ran away, some were killed by us, and some... were burned to death?"

Tara: "Did you start the fire outside?"

In order to burn those robbers to death, do you not hesitate to set fire to the wooden house?

"No, it's not. It's the robbers. They stole things and burned our house. The fire was so big that they set themselves on fire. Pete Chen said it's called... what is it called, Carlos..."

Carlos: "Playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."

Sam: "There's a lot of fire and smoke outside, so we can't stay here, so we can only go to the cave."

Sam took over from Olga to help the old grandmother.

Carlos came over to help Tara lift Manna down.

Tara felt much more relaxed now.

"After walking through these dozens of steps, it will be a cave."

The stone ladder came to an end, and in front of it was a closed stone door.Olga pressed a round button under the stone door, and the door opened.

The crowd went in.

This is a not too big cave, and there are already quite a few people in it, all of whom are women and children from the farm that Tara is familiar with.

Everyone saw the old grandmother and Tara surrounded them with concern, expressing concern and greetings.

Carlos put Manna on the ground, and Ramon took Manna to play with other children soon.

Manna seemed to have come down to the ground to move around a long time ago, and now she was running around in the cave with the other children.

Seeing that Tara was worried, Olga said, "Don't worry, Ramon and the others will take good care of Manna."

At this time, Tara saw Peter Chen coming in from another door. He came to greet the old grandmother and nodded to Tara. Although he didn't speak, Tara accepted his concern.
