Chapter 124.1: Firepower!
Feeling the sensation of weightlessness, Su Xiao immediately threw the broken iron ladder away.
At such a moment, if he wasn't prepared for something like this or wasn't well-trained, he would just close his eyes in fear and give up, but Su Xiao's eyes opened wide.
A moment later, his palm caught on another section of the ladder, and Su Xiao immediately used all his strength and grabbed onto it, then used his other hand as well.
*A clang!*
The other part of the iron ladder that he was holding on to was bent badly, but it didn't come off its fastenings. His right arm was aching from the extreme exertion.
There was a thud as Su Xiao's body hit the iron ladder.
The crisis passed, and Su Xiao rolled his eyes. The iron ladder that he had grabbed the first time was actually in a terrible state, but it was just an ordinary accident.
As for whether someone wanted to eliminate him or not, Su Xiao immediately dismissed such suspicions because they hadn't even gone down the well yet and were very far away from their goal, so this wasn't the time for feuds.
Looking down, he saw that the rest of the group had already gone far down, but hearing strange sounds, they all looked up.
No one asked any questions — everyone silently made sure that everyone was alive and continued to descend.
Su Xiao didn't care about the cold attitude of the four of them. Each of them had their own goals. He wouldn't be surprised that they would all leave him in case of any great danger.
However, right now, they had to cooperate and help each other, for they all needed each other's strength.
It was a very long descent, and Su Xiao realized that he had lost track of time for a long time. How long did they go down, half an hour? Hour?
After a long time, a bright flashlight beam fell on him. Takatsuki Sen was the first to reach the bottom of the well.
When Su Xiao stepped on the ground, he only felt the pain that came from his palms, and he took out his flashlight and started to look around.
The bottom of the well was very empty. Sometimes he saw piles of bones buried in the ground. Most likely, they were the bones of primitive ghouls that had climbed up, fallen and died.
A metal door with a diameter of several meters was visible on one of the walls of the well. The metal door was rusty, and there were three strange drawings and inscriptions in the center of it.
A strange fish with a thick head and a thin tail, a snake with an open mouth, an exquisite crown and a row of English letters in the form of " CCE».
These drawings, along with the inscription, were literally stamped on this metal door. Su Xiao went to this door and found that these three drawings along with the inscription were actually a kind of password with many paths to move, and these paths created a small map that needed to eventually arrange these drawings and the inscription in the correct order.
Kisho Arima went to the door and started moving these drawings together with the inscription. He placed the inscription "CCE" at the bottom, a picture of a crown on top, and to the left and right he placed a strange fish and snake.
*Creaking sound...*
The metal door swayed and began to slowly open.
Crown, "CCE", fish, snake... all of this was a certain sequence, and the "CCE" apparently had to do with the Ghoul Control Department.
But he had too little evidence, and he couldn't connect all these things together.
After passing through the metal door, Su Xiao discovered that there was a completely different world on the other side of the door.
A peculiar underground world appeared in front of them. This underground world was at least ten meters high and it seemed to have no end. Everywhere in this world, there were flowers that radiated light, making this vast world not dark.
There was a strange stone forest in front of them, and primitive ghouls could be seen here and there in the stone forest.
The sound of the metal door opening made the primitive ghouls alert, and they began to flock to the entrance. In a matter of moments, a huge number of primitive ghouls began to stare at the five people. With the exception of Su Xiao, everyone else was holding different types of firearms.
The primitive ghouls were shocked, but the more experienced ghouls were the first to act and set off a chain reaction. In the beginning, only a few dozen primitive ghouls roared and charged forward, but gradually, more and more ghouls in the depths of this strange world began to flock to the entrance of this very unique world.
*Ar-r-r!*
Roars and howls kept coming from everywhere. A huge number of ghouls rushed at the five people in an avalanche.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
Four people immediately opened fire in the direction of the ghouls without hesitation. Su Xiao began to take out bombs and after activating them threw them directly into the crowd.
*BOOM!*
The sound of the explosion reverberated throughout the vast space, and about a dozen primitive ghouls were killed due to the explosion.
Relying on their firearms and an excellent position in the form of a very small passage, the five men were very active in destroying the hordes of primitive ghouls.
The bombs that Su Xiao threw into the crowd of ghouls attracted the attention of the primitive ghouls who were very far away from the entrance.
The gunfire continued unabated, and the explosions kept coming one after the other. The fight immediately reached a climax, even though they only managed to open the door to this underground space.
Smoke quickly formed in the air, and the smell of gunpowder only added to the five people's nervousness.
Fortunately, they understood that this could happen, so Kisho Arima and the others took a huge amount of supplies with them, so they could now water everything and everything indiscriminately.
Just five minutes later, large piles of primitive ghouls ' bodies were already formed near the entrance.
After such a crushing defeat, many primitive ghouls began to retreat and did not dare to climb out. In a couple of minutes all the primitive ghouls were out of sight and the five people couldn't see a single living primitive ghoul.
Sure enough, powerful firearms were the best way to kill a huge number of ghouls.
Kisho Arima threw away his submachine gun after making sure everything was quiet. Eventually, the barrel of his weapon turned bright red. All the ammunition they had prepared for this trip was almost used up, and even Su Xiao's bag only had three bombs left in it.
— Fortunately we came here prepared.
Takatsuki Sen also threw away the guns she was holding. Now, after this intense skirmish, they could only rely on their kagune and kuinkyo.
As for why they didn't bring more ammo or at least some members of the Aogiri Tree with them, it was very simple. They were severely restricted by the gap between the passage and the iron staircase.
