I don’t know where this road leads, and I don’t know where I am now. Just as Zuo Zuotou said at the beginning, the two people were really lost in this maze-like world of pipes. Their only goal at the moment was to follow the pipes and find the downward pipe to the ground.
Because only when you reach the ground can you explore and find possible real entrances and exits.
After walking for who knows how long and killing many strange rat-like things along the way, the two finally reached the end of the pipe.
This is where two pipes meet. It seems that the screws connecting the two pipes have rotted away, and the pipe on the opposite side has drooped. The side they were standing on still maintained balance because of a horizontal bifurcated pipe. In other words, if you want to continue moving forward, you can only use the rope to hang down to another pipe. But as far as the eye can see, there is no other pipeline below.
It's too late to come back! Are they all pipes down here? Gong Yun held his chin and looked at the pipe opposite and said to himself.
Now you make up your mind, what should you do? Sasato asked, shining his flashlight downward.
Hey! Gong Yun smiled evilly, is there any difference between going back now and going forward? Did you remember to record the route?
You are such a big-hearted person! I know why Qin Yao is always so worried even though he knows how capable you are. You are a bit of a fool who does things without considering the consequences! Zuo Zuotou slandered with a smile.
This is called moving forward courageously, always leaving a backup plan when doing things, and retreating when difficulties arise. Only by focusing all your attention on the front, without even looking back can you achieve great results. Gong Yun smiled boldly.
Isn’t that two hundred and five? Zuo Zuotou squinted his eyes.
Gong Yun stopped teasing. He took out the rope he had used for climbing before and handed one end to Zuo Zuoteng. He shook the rope and placed it on the pipe at his feet. The other end of the rope was tied around his waist. Put a finger in front of your eyes to symbolically test the angle and distance.
I'll go over first, and you tie the rope around your waist, so that no matter who of us jumps wrong, we can be pulled back.
Dance? Zuo Saotou urged in a soft voice without any hesitation. He understood that the other party seemed to be including himself, but in fact he was still worried about him.
It depends on me. If you can’t jump up, I still think it’s fine when you jump down. After Gong Yun finished speaking, he jumped in. A pair of blood-red wings flashed behind his back for a few times. Finally, he landed firmly on the inclined pipe with a clang, and then slid all the way like a skateboard. It went down and finally got stuck on the huge flange.
Just jump, it's okay if you jump a little crookedly, I can hold you back. Gong Yun looked up at Zuo Zuoteng and greeted him.
Will I dance crookedly with such an obvious fleshy mat? Zuo Zuotou smiled evilly and did not jump at all, but fell down towards Gong Yun like a green onion.
What the hell! You don't use any measures at all, and you point all your fingers at me? Gong Yun did not dare to be careless, and quickly bent his knees and jumped up towards the fallen Zuo Zuotou. After that, the two of them fell back down and stood firmly at the end of the pipe.
Zuo Saotou looked at it with a flashlight and found that the collapsed pipe was still resting on another pipe. In other words, it is still not the ground below.
How deep is this thing? What's the matter if we can't reach the end?
Turn off the flashlight. Gong Yun suddenly warned with vigilance, then flipped and jumped onto another parallel pipe, and quickly put the rope away.
What's wrong? What did you hear? Zuo Zuotou asked as he came over to feel it.
Many alien creatures are approaching, ready to fight. Gong Yun's expression suddenly became serious. In his perception, there were countless moving objects approaching quickly, and even he could not distinguish the specific number.
Under the beam of the flashlight, countless strange creatures that looked like mice soon appeared on the surrounding pipes. It was like a wild beast that had found food, baring its ferocious fangs at them.
But they also chose the wrong target. These two intruders were by no means ordinary people. Although they were speechless, there was a hint of joy on their faces.
It's not that two people can still despise many alien creatures in this strange environment, but they know. These strange creatures appear in large numbers here, which means that this place is not too far from the exit.
Besides, quantity means nothing to them. It's like a wolf facing a group of rabbits. Quantity is just quantity.
Can you feel which direction these things are coming from the most? Zuo Zuotou asked, getting into a fighting stance.
The four directions are almost the same, but that direction seems to have a little more. Gong Yun stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, but there was no road under their feet in this direction.
Remember this direction, do you want to use your muscles or do you want to get it done in one shot? Zuo Zuotou asked.
Get it done in one shot? You can do it? Gong Yun asked suspiciously.
It should be about the same, I'll have to make some change at most. Such alien creatures living in the darkness are very sensitive to light, but they are also very afraid. When they find light, it's like we find something abnormal. The purpose of surrounding them should be to eliminate danger. Zuo Zuotou explained.
What then? Gong Yun asked.
Facing unknown species, anything with intelligence will have a reaction. That is to first observe the degree of danger. If we find that we are surrounded and are still standing here, they will wait and watch for a while, but if we start to escape, they will attack immediately. As he spoke, Zuo Zuoteng poked Gong Yun and pointed to the end of the collapsed pipe with his eyes.
Gong Yun understood instantly, nodded slightly, then quickly put away the sword, twisted his body and jumped down, stepped on the lower mouth of the pipe with his legs, and grabbed the flange with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Zuotou also turned around and jumped down. Gong Yun let go of one foot and one hand and opened it like a door, grabbed Zuo Zuoteng and stuffed it in, and then got in himself.
The entire pipe space suddenly darkened, with only a ray of light coming from the mouth of the pipe.
Ziwu..., a strange sound came from all directions, it looked like a mouse but didn't really sound like it. A dense crowd of strange creatures quickly gathered towards the mouth of the pipe.
Just as many strange creatures were swarming towards him, Gong Yun stuck his head out to take a look, then stretched out a hand to throw a small object upwards, and then quickly retracted it.
A sun suddenly rose in the pitch-black pipe world, and a flaky disc instantly filled the air, flipped and crossed every corner.
The strange creatures swarming around suddenly started to scream, and a layer of smoke rose up all over their bodies as if they were on fire.
The disc clattered onto the pipes and fell downwards. A moment later, a blinding light dominated the space. Countless strange creatures lost their ability to control themselves and fell out of the pipe. In the end, no one knew where they landed.
For creatures born in darkness, light is their greatest source of damage. What's more, this kind of light has powerful lethality even on the bright outside ground. In this environment, its power is amplified more than ten times. More than that, one shot really determines the outcome.
