Huo Xiangu didn't know what she was discussing with her men. It seemed that she had not given up the idea of using a detonator to blow it up.
Zhang Shuxun and his little brother didn't pay attention to her. After eating, they ignored the glances from around them and took out their sleeping bags from their backpacks, got in and closed their eyes to sleep.
Seeing this, the others also took the time to rest, because they knew that once these two people woke up, those who couldn't keep up would only have the fate of being abandoned.
Although Zhang Zhuxun fell asleep, his sleep was not peaceful.
What happened in the Zhang family's ancient building in the original plot kept replaying in his mind in the form of a dream. Pan Zi's tragic and relieved eyes before his death seemed to be deeply imprinted in his mind.
Different from the original plot, he saw that at the moment of the explosion, a huge and thick dark green tentacle passed through the jade veins and dragged Pan Zi into the abyss below the ancient building. Pan Zi's body was covered by a dark The huge mouth swallowed it up, and finally merged with the black mass.
After the black mass swallowed Pan Zi, it stretched out its tentacles and shuttled through the jade veins. Fatty and Wu Xiaoxie were trapped by the bell, and they were about to be caught by the tentacles.
At the critical moment, the little brother fell from the sky and cut off the two tentacles. Just as he was about to tell Wu Xiaoxie and the two to leave quickly, his whole body was suddenly shaken. When he lowered his head, he realized that at some point, a sharp tentacle came silently from behind. It penetrated into the little brother's body.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of the little brother's mouth, looking in one direction, with a touch of doubt and confusion in his eyes, as if he was asking "why".
The expressions on the faces of the two fat men also froze, their pupils widened, and they looked in the direction of the other end of the tentacle in shock and disbelief.
The dreamland followed their line of sight, and when Zhang Zhuxun saw the black shadow in that direction clearly, his whole body couldn't stop trembling.
It turned out to be Milotuo who looked exactly like him.
That's right, the highest-ranking King Milotuo actually has a human face.
He felt that his sight was infinitely magnified, and his whole body seemed to be floating in the air, getting closer and closer to that thing, just within easy reach.
"Who are you?"
He tried his best to suppress the tremor in his voice and asked this question.
When the "Zhang Zhuxun" heard this sentence, he suddenly smiled. The very familiar smile now appeared on the face of another unknown creature.
"I am you——"
"It's you--"
"It's you--"
The sound lingered in his ears like a bell. That "Zhang Zhuxun" raised his hand slightly, and two more tentacles emerged from the darkness, circling and twisting, bypassing the row of bells, and plunged straight into Wu Xiao Xie and Fatty's abdomen.
"No--" His eyes were splitting, and he roared at the top of his lungs.
But he could only watch as the tentacles swallowed them all up and turned them into ugly dark green monsters.
"Now, you are the only one left."
King Milotuo stretched out his neck and rubbed Zhang Shuxun's face quite affectionately. His behavior was completely like an animal in the process of evolutionary learning.
However, Zhang Zhuxun could not move at this moment. His eyes fell into darkness. He could feel a cold chill gradually spreading from his spine to his whole body. Soon he could no longer feel the existence of his body, and there was no pain. He felt nothing, but he knew he only had one head left at the moment.
No, even this head was not his. He heard a buzzing sound from the bones, like talking, but he couldn't hear what it was, as it seemed to be coming from a very far away place.
"Gauwu Chiren—come on, come to me—"
He felt that the owner of this head was moving slowly, and sunlight was shining through the gap in the giant door.
It's going out, it's going out.
Stop it!
A voice exploded in my mind and I couldn't let it go out!
Zhang Zhuxun felt as if he had jumped into a sea of lava and fire. His whole body was burning fiercely. His pores were enlarging uncontrollably in the scorching heat. His blood vessels burst and his blood flowed backwards. This feeling made him miserable.
The door was right in front of him, and the voice in his mind became sharper and shriller, until it finally turned into a high-decibel noise that pierced his eardrums.
He roared and struggled with all his strength. At this moment, the thing restraining him opened an invisible crack.
It was like fresh grass sprouts bursting out of the ground, and fresh air rushed to him from all directions at the same time.
All the darkness receded at this moment. He opened his eyes suddenly and found a beam of white light shining on his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
Just as he was about to speak, the blood in his chest surged up, and he began to cough. He couldn't stop coughing. His whole body curled up from the cough, and his throat was sore. Something came out of his mouth, and his consciousness told him that it was A ball of blood.
Someone helped him up, patted his back gently, and fed him some water, and then the bloody smell in his throat was suppressed.
Focusing his eyes, Zhang Zhu came to his senses and found that the younger brother was squatting beside him. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and asked him how his body was feeling now.
"It's okay." Zhang Zhuxun replied softly. His throat was still a little dry, but the burning feeling before was gone.
There was something stuck on the right side of his face. Zhang Zhu took it off and saw that it was an antipyretic patch.
After looking around, he found that Huo Xiangu and the others were staring at him intently, their eyes looking straight as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Zhuxun understood. The tattoo on his right face appeared again, and the group must have become more suspicious.
But it doesn't matter. What they think has little to do with him. The outcome is already determined and nothing can be changed.
When he thought of the scene in the dream, he began to panic. He didn't know what the dream foreshadowed, or whether the existence of the system had affected him, but he understood that the little brother could not die.
Only when the little brother is here will the things behind the bronze door be wary.
He also cannot die, or in other words, the system in his body cannot be swallowed. Once he disappears with the system and the little brother leaves the bronze door, the things inside will no longer be scrupulous.
Once it is born, terrible things will happen, and the consequences are unimaginable.
It seems that it is urgent to go to Medog.
Zhang Shuxun gathered his thoughts, stood up and packed his equipment, then called to his brother to continue walking forward. He ignored whether those people behind him were following him.
The younger brother didn't know whether he saw something or felt something, but his face became more and more solemn.
After walking for about two kilometers, some changes occurred on the stone path ahead. There was light there. Although it was very faint, it was indeed light.
"Is that the exit?" someone asked.
No one answered him, everyone was immersed in the joy of finding a way to survive.
However, when they walked forward for about twenty meters, they discovered that the glowing place was a small, narrow cave.
The cave is more than two meters high from the ground. The top is covered with many very small irregular holes, which are densely packed, like the roots of old trees that have been hollowed out by insects. More vividly, they look like tattered briquettes. Like it's naturally formed.
The stone walls on all sides, including the ground, are glowing. This is a very special kind of dark green jade. It is not as light as a priceless jade. Instead, it seems to be mixed with fluorescent powder. The light is uneven and very fine. A streak of miserable blue looked like the mark left by something crawling on the stone wall.
The jade walls are not smooth, and the surface looks a bit frosted and hazy.
The floor of the cave is full of pits and pools of various sizes.
I don’t know if the dark green color has a psychological effect on people, but I always feel that the pool seems to be very deep, and even the brightest beam of the flashlight cannot detect the bottom.
Looking at the jade light everywhere, someone said excitedly: "Did we accidentally find the ancient building of the Zhang family?"
Huo Xiangu also thought it was very possible and sent people into the cave to check.
Huo Chushi went in with two of his men, and the rest rested temporarily at the entrance of the cave.
Ten minutes later, Huo Chushi came back with someone, and he also brought some very bad news.
The end of this cave is completely sealed. It is an almost completely enclosed space except for the current entrance. There are no murals or tomb doors.
Huo Xiangu frowned, puzzled, "How could this happen?"
She looked at Zhang Zhu and the two of them and asked the reason.
Zhang Zhuxun only told her, "The end is here."
Huo Xiangu looked at the pool on the cave floor, thought for a while, and then ordered someone under Huo Chushi who was good at water to go down and have a look.
Huo Chushi nodded, turned around and said to his subordinates: "On the fourth and sixth day of the lunar month, you two put on your equipment and go down and take a look."
The two agreed, quickly took off their coats, put on oxygen equipment, and after testing the water quality for non-toxicity, they chose the nearest pool and jumped in.
The ripples on the water quickly subsided, leaving two people standing guard by the pool, while the rest retreated to the stone crossing and waited quietly for the result.
After a full twenty minutes, the two people who had dived came up, followed by something, a large black mass, following closely behind their heels, and they were about to catch up with them.
The people guarding the pool immediately shot at the thing, but found that no matter how they shot, the thing always followed the two of them.
When they were at a loss, Huo Chusi and the other two emerged from the water, took off their oxygen masks and immediately shouted, "Don't shoot, that's a person."
As he said that, he turned around and pulled the rope tied around his waist. The thing was so heavy that the four of them had to work hard to pull it out of the water and move it to the ground beside the pool.
The thing was an egg-like oval, and it looked like it was covered with a soft, yellowish film on the outside. The whole thing looked very heavy.
As soon as Fu came out of the water, a very strange smell of meat spread quickly in the cave, making people very uncomfortable, and it was the unknown mass that gave off the smell.
Huo Chushi's men said that it was a human being, but no matter how they looked at it, they could not see any trace of a human being on it. The thing looked more like a twisted, tortured human pig.
But what made them feel horrified was that the thing wrapped in the mass was the same style of black adventure suit as they were wearing.
How is this going? How could the groups of people who had left earlier appear here?
"Who is it?" Huo Xiangu asked.
Huo Chusi shook his head, with a very ugly face, "I can't recognize them. There are several corpses like this down there. Their bodies have been swollen like this by blisters, and their faces have been corroded by something unknown. They are all covered with herpes." , I can’t recognize the original face at all.”
Zhang Zhu went over, broke through the membrane on the head, and straightened the man's neck with his skills. He looked at the red face and saw a twisted scar between the swelling and bubbles.
"It was Scar," he said, "the first team to go away."
The scar on the man's face was originally hidden by his hair and collar, but it was only exposed when he leaned over to kill the unknown little leader.
Originally they thought they would be trapped and die somewhere in the mountain, but now it seems that the movement of those Milotuos between the mountains has led them here intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at the water pool inside the cave. Those teams had left one after another, and it seemed that they were all buried under the water now.
Huo Chusi continued: "The bottoms of these pools are connected. There are some bones that have long since rotted under the water, and they have all sunk to the bottom. Also sinking with them are some tools such as Luoyang shovels and pickaxes."
Why were these people drowned underwater? Are they looking for something in the water?
Huo Xiangu became more and more convinced that there was the entrance she was looking for under the water pool, and immediately ordered the others to put on their equipment and dive in, searching under the water pool near the end of the cave.
After saying that, he coughed violently a few times, patted his chest gently, and his face was pale with some grayish blue.
Zhang Zhuxun and his younger brother also entered the cave, walked around inside, and scraped the dark green jade wall with a knife, scraping off a little bit of white powder.
Hearing Huo Xiangu's suppressed cough, Zhang Zhuoxun's expression suddenly changed. He immediately opened his backpack, took out the protective clothing, and asked his brother to put it on quickly.
When Huo Xiangu saw this, she quickly asked what was going on.
Zhang Zhuxun put on a gas mask and said in a low voice: "There used to be a lot of alkali powder here. The reason why these jade walls are a little rough is that they were corroded by the alkali powder."
Huo Xiangu was shocked when she heard this, and quickly ordered Huo Xiuxiu to put on protective clothing and a gas mask.
Huo Xiuxiu was the only one left next to her, while the others went down to the pool.
Zhang Zhuoxun raised his head and looked at the countless small holes at the top of the cave, then looked at the corpses by the pool, and finally understood why those corpses were in the water.
Through the gas mask, there are already some very fine powders falling down from the small holes above. These small holes are where the alkali powder is released.
The reason why those people were in the water was because of the alkali powder in the air, which forced them to jump into the water. However, after a large amount of strong alkali melts into the water, a large amount of heat will be generated during the dissolution process, and people in the water will also Scorched to death, even cooked.
So no matter what, it is a dead end in the end.
Not much alkali powder fell for the time being. Huo Xiuxiu hurriedly took out the protective clothing and mask from the equipment, entered the cave, knelt down by the pool where Huo Chushi and others went down, and shouted loudly for them to come up quickly.
Thanks to [Dongxue Qingge] [Bu Nian] [The most naive when I was young] and other bosses for their rewards. I have a huge heart ()
