Chapter 027: Barren Village Tunnel
Listening to this is so heart-wrenching.
Although I can't see anything.
The first thing that came into our minds was corpse worms. At this time, we couldn't imagine what was happening around us. Those corpse worms must have surrounded us in a mighty manner.
Recalling the army of corpse bugs we saw on the ground earlier, we couldn't even count them. I didn't expect that even after we killed the banshee, we still couldn't escape the nightmare of the corpse bugs.
I couldn't see what was going on around me, so I had to focus all my attention on my ears. My breathing was very nervous, but at the same time I had to suppress my breathing. It didn't last long before I couldn't help but say, "Fuck,...
The zombies must be here!"
As soon as I shouted, my ears were in chaos, and there were screams everywhere, like a flock of frightened birds. What else could it be if it weren't corpse insects? We didn't say anything, just ran away. Before we could run away,
After taking a few steps, I accidentally fell to the ground, and severe pain immediately shot through several places on my body.
I scrambled up as fast as I could, but Xu Qian held my shoulders down. She shouted softly: "Don't move!" After saying that, it was like a strong wind swept over my head.
Immediately, I looked towards the wind and saw groups of corpse insects swooping down from the ice bridge above, like a black shadow.
"Fuck!"
"Back to the wall!"
"The Dragon Stone has been destroyed by them."
My mind went blank and I couldn't think anymore. It was hard to imagine how these corpse insects tracked us all the way here. We passed deep pools, dark passages, and ice fields along the way. It can be said that this place is more mysterious than a maze.
"Is it possible that this corpse insect can still swim?"
"Most insects can survive in the water for a period of time." Sister Meng said, "These corpse insects will work together as a team. We underestimated them. Now it seems that they are the most dangerous thing in this ghost cave."
"It's now time. Don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Let's think about what to do!"
"For this plan, we must find an exit!" Xu Qian said.
"But where is the exit!"
"There is no perfect way to go!"
What Xu Qian said is true. I am confident that no matter how bad my luck is, I will not be so bad that I will fail in this place and ruin my reputation as a golden marshal. I have always had good luck, even if
No matter how difficult the character is to deal with, he still manages to overcome it.
So, I made up my mind to fight with the corpse bugs to the end, and said: "I want to see if these damn bugs can cause trouble. They have chased us all the way. Now it's time to show you the little bugs."
It’s my method!
"Don't be stupid!" Suddenly I was stunned for a moment. As soon as I finished speaking these big words, Sister Meng hit me on the back of the head.
"What are you doing-" My mind buzzed and I looked at her in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense, is this the time to fight hard? It's better to leave quickly."
Xu Qian pointed her hand and said: "Let's keep going forward. The ice structure here is too dangerous. Once the corpse bug bites this place, we will be completely ruined."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings were completely silent.
I myself was startled by this sudden silence.
At this moment, there was a slight sound above our heads, as if something was loose, and then we heard the sound of something falling and splashing on the ground.
I looked for the sound and found a few pieces of broken ice. But when I looked up, I couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. I saw that an ice beam above was covered with corpse insects, and they occupied it in a black mass.
The entire ice beam was rubbing against the ice surface crazily.
"Oops!" I was so frightened that my eyes widened.
Round.
"Let's go!"
Now is not the time to complain about Xu Qian's crow's mouth. The ice layer on this posture may collapse again at any time, and this is different from Dadi's behavior of destroying the structural point just now. These corpse insects don't care at all. If they start to have fun here,
Come on, go on a rampage, we will really die unjustly!
Of course we ran as fast as we could. The disadvantages of this place were too obvious for us. We couldn't run away on the ice, but those corpse bugs were like a fish in water. In my heart, I could only hope that there would no longer be an ice field ahead.
Otherwise, there is really no way to escape.
It was a drama. Just as we were running away from the ice, a ravine suddenly appeared under our feet. The ravine was not deep, only as deep as a person's head. Coincidentally, the ravine was covered by a layer of ice.
Covered, like a glass top.
"Get out of here!" I thought in a hurry and got in through the gully. There was no ice below the gully. Going all the way in, it seemed like a winding road.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Xu Qian took my hand and said, "Here!"
"What's going on here?"
I saw Xu Qian pointing to a small hole in the rock wall, and she said, "It's windy."
"Is it windy?" I looked at her in surprise.
"This passage may lead outside."
"Really?" I didn't dare to delay and poked my head into the opening.
After entering, I discovered that there was indeed a passage inside as Xu Qian said. From the outside, this opening looked like just a crack, but from the inside, this passage should be an unfinished tunnel. I don’t know where it was dug.
Come down.
Because if it was formed naturally, then this passage is most likely closed. But after we walked for a while, we found that the passage was actually very long. At the same time, looking at the obvious traces of digging on the rock wall of the passage, I concluded that this passage was
It is a man-made tunnel.
"How could there be such a tunnel here?" I was puzzled. Now was not the time to think about this, so I simply ignored it, gritted my teeth and just crawled forward.
There are no branches in this passage, but it is very difficult to walk. Some places are even vertical. I climbed for two hours and almost passed out from exhaustion, but I still didn't see the end.
I don’t know how long it took, but just as I was crawling mechanically, my body suddenly became empty and I fell down.
"Be careful!" Xu Qian grabbed my waistband to prevent me from falling.
I looked down anxiously, and there was a fault in front of my eyes. "I'm fine. This should be a crack in the mountain."
"It's not like that!" Xu Qian shook her head.
"Why?"
"Look ahead." Xu Qian looked forward.
I followed her gaze and saw that there was no passage in front of me. I was even more surprised and asked, "How could this be? Is this passage at the end?"
I took pictures up and down, left and right, and accidentally saw traces of running water on the surface of the cracks and faults above. The running water should have been eroded here for many years. The surface features are very obvious, but there is no running water above now. It may have been cut off later.
, or for some other reason.
"It should have been open originally. To be precise, it is still open now, but it was artificially covered up." Xu Qian said.
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, the person who dug the tunnel should have entered here from above, and then started digging the tunnel here. Now it seems that the tunnel was not completed and ended hastily, sealing the top." Xu Qian explained, "
But they didn't completely block it, and there was still wind coming in, so we could get out."
"That's good!" When Xu Qian said there was a way out, I climbed up without saying anything.
After more than ten minutes, I suddenly felt like there was wind blowing in from somewhere. I felt happy and immediately followed the feeling to search. Sure enough, I found a hole with air circulation, and a long-lost light appeared.
But to be honest, this hole is too small. From a distance, it is only as big as a coin. Even if I walk to the money, it may not be as big as my head, so I don’t even have the strength to speed up. But now
The only way is to keep going forward and find a way out from the hole.
"There is no other way but to knock it away!"
I actually don't have much physical strength right now, so I pulled the hole a few times, but it had no effect. The hole should be sealed by mud and there are no rocks, so it is still possible to break it open.
After accumulating my strength, I slammed into it, and there was a muffled sound. Then I felt like the world was spinning, stars were in my eyes, and I might faint at any time. However, the effect of my impact was very good, and the earth wall was obviously loose.
, I didn’t care much and just bumped into it again.
This time I used all my strength, and then, in an instant, I saw the ground I had not seen for a long time. I could hardly react, but the place in front of me felt inexplicably familiar——
"This is?" My mind was spinning rapidly, "That ghost village?"
"Damn, how did this tunnel lead to here?"
I saw a lot of people in a village not far away. It looked like it was night, and there were bright lights all around. Some people were holding walkie-talkies and kept shouting, and they were walking in a hurry, as if they were searching for something.
I used all my strength to shout, "Ah! We are here!"
"Someone!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"I found it, I found it, come here quickly!"
Then, I saw a person leading a group of people approaching me quickly. From a distance, I could see that it was a woman, and for some reason, I always felt that person's figure was very familiar. The person who quickly led the group
The woman came into my sight. I watched from a distance and was surprised to find that the familiar figure in the crowd turned out to be Luo Jianfen, and the people outside should be people from the 735th Institute.
"Luo Jianfen? Why is she here?" I wondered in my heart, but my strength was exhausted and I didn't have any energy to worry about this at this time.
Luo Jianfen and the others all looked anxious, but before Luo Jianfen could reach me, I lost consciousness, and all I could hear was someone calling my name——
"Lin Kun? Lin Kun? Are you okay?"
Then I closed my eyes.
It seemed like he was relieved.
When I woke up, I found that I was already lying in the room, with Xu Qian taking care of me. It was very noisy outside, and the memory in my mind stayed in the tunnel I had opened. That tunnel obviously led to the ghost cave.
, but I don’t understand who dug this tunnel and what was the purpose of digging it?
All this was so unbelievable that I was kept in the dark and had no way of knowing anything.
However, the appearance of Luo Jianfen and Institute 735 added some fluctuations to this haze, making it more and more muddy, but I felt calmer inside - the truth I was waiting for was finally coming.
Speaking of which, I was not actually injured, but I was just exhausted, and the impact was a bit violent at the last moment, so I fainted. Seeing Xu Qian beside me, I sat up and she asked me how I felt.
, but I was fine, not uncomfortable at all, so I nodded.
"Are you awake? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
