The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker. Apart from the fog, not even the shadow of a ferocious beast can be seen. Apart from the footprints of a group of people on the ground, there are only continuous withered grass. Even in summer, there is no green color at all.
"Close your formation and don't get separated." He Yunhua said, looking at the people in front, the figures became increasingly unclear.
After hearing the order, the front scout also withdrew. In the thick fog with visibility less than five meters, the only thing that could be seen clearly was a little distance in front of him, and the reconnaissance seemed meaningless.
"Without a signal, electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate the dense fog." The captain of the first team looked at the snowflakes. Now everyone is hesitant about the future, uncertain about the unknown, but there is no fear on his face.
"Then let's go forward side by side." He Yunhua said, and the hunters stood in two lines, like sharp knives piercing the thick fog.
In the fog, even Lin Zihan lost his way. Even the holographic glasses were of little use, and Lin Zihan's vision could only see seven meters away, and that was with the blessing of Duan Nao.
"Take a rest." He Yunhua said, the fog seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, the visibility was visibly weakened, and the fog seemed to increase the physical exertion.
With He Yunhua's physical condition, it is impossible for him to feel tired just from walking. But now, He Yunhua feels that his limbs are a little heavy, as if they are filled with lead.
"The gravity here seems to be different from outside." Lin Zihan said, leaning against a dead tree, putting his hands on his knees.
Compared with other wilderness hunters, Lin Zihan has a keener perception. What's more, in the training camp, there is a special gravity simulation room, so he naturally has a clearer feel for gravity.
The pressure in this thick fog is like a weight gain simulation in a gravity simulation room, but the feeling is significantly different from the simulation room. It is more like a kind of pressure hidden in the fog and everywhere.
"This place is really weird, thick fog, high pressure, and I don't know what will happen next." The first captain wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at the sweat on his hands, feeling an indescribable depression in his heart.
Even breathing became a little difficult. The first captain gasped for breath, his chest heaved violently, and his exoskeleton also tensed and tightened during the breathing.
"We seem to be lost." He Yunhua looked at the footprints on the ground, which seemed to have been left by a recent walk. It was impossible for another man to enter this land of death surrounded by thick fog.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Lin Zihan also fell into deep thought. Those clear footprints seemed to have been left not long ago, and the length and width of the footprints exactly matched the exoskeleton footprints of this group of people.
"Have you brought your compass?" Lin Zihan said and looked at He Yunhua.
"Bring it." He Yunhua said and took out a small compass. As a battlefield commander and a small unit commander, He Yunhua carries some battlefield equipment with him, such as a small compass and a level survey instrument.
He Yunhua has many gadgets like these in his pockets.
"This is impossible." He Yunhua looked at the compass. The needle in the compass was spinning constantly, like a top, and it could not function as a guide at all.
"The magnetic field here is chaotic and chaotic, and the compass is useless." He Yunhua put away the pocket compass and looked into the depths of the thick fog. Perhaps many people got lost in this place of death and ended up trapped. Die here.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Zihan had little experience in entering wilderness areas, and was even more confused about the situation of getting lost in these areas without signal.
"Yes, when the signal in the wilderness area was not fully established, the team got lost, and they would use straight-line markings to mark the straight line." He Yunhua said, as if he had a certain understanding of this aspect.
"Didn't that happen so many years ago? After the first catastrophe, the wilderness area became a no-man's land, but the signal popularization was almost completed hundreds of years ago." The first captain seemed to be quite interested. Have insights.
After all, as mercenaries, these people naturally have good military qualities. At least they are not just big-headed soldiers who know nothing. Although each mercenary is not as capable as an extreme individual soldier, their military qualities are no less than that of many elite divisions. .
"When I was still in the rapid response team..." He Yunhua paused as he spoke, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting. "Once we encountered strong interference from a group of rebels, we adopted this tactic."
"Try it, just in case there is hope." Lin Zihan said, stood up, and looked at He Yunhua firmly. He believed that He Yunhua would not make the same mistake again this time.
Moreover, although Lin Zihan was confident enough in his own abilities, in terms of military strategy, Lin Zihan was more willing to believe in commanders who were from the rapid reaction force. His military quality is at least better than that of many conventional garrison troops.
"If you want to believe me, just try with me." He Yunhua said, drawing a straight line from the ground, as straight as the sword in his hand, "Single people form a line and move forward in a straight line."
Along the way, everyone stopped and walked, and they took countless rests on the way. However, the white mist gradually dimmed. It can be estimated that the sky outside has dimmed.
"Start the night lights at intervals." He Yunhua ordered, and everyone turned on the lights at once. The weak lights had a good lighting effect in the fog, at least there were a few stars in the dark night.
"It's already dark, I guess I can't get out." A law enforcement officer bowed respectfully in front of the chief law enforcement officer, his head bowed so deep that he didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look up at the chief law enforcement officer in front of him.
"Arrange the military law team to station here and besiege it for three days. I don't believe anyone can come out of here." The law enforcement chief said, looking at his shoulder. There were white bandages wrapped around his shoulders. On the bandages, There were already dark purple blood stains.
"There seems to be light over there." The first captain looked in front of him. The thick fog seemed to have faded a lot, revealing a faint red light. The blood-red light was more dazzling than the yellow night light and could pass through the dense fog. The fog is like a guide.
"Let's go and have a look." Lin Zihan also noticed that after the thick fog, under the dark night, in an unknown place, there was a faint red light, like dots of light like fireflies, or like stars in the night sky.
The dazzling red looks particularly eye-catching. Even if the yellow light shines through, it cannot cover up the red glimmer. That red light spot is like a lighthouse in the vast sea, always there, guiding lost sailors.
"I always feel that there is some danger in that red light." A familiar voice sounded in Lin Zihan's mind. Now that Lin Zihan heard it, he felt a little nostalgic.
"What I'm saying is, can you please don't show up suddenly at a time like this next time? It's scary, scary to death, even though you may not be considered a human being." Lin Zihan complained in a low voice. To the person who came to mind, this voice But it is very clear.
"If you are not a human being, then I should not be a human being either." The voice left only one sentence and then disappeared. Instead, Lin Zihan was left alone, melancholy for a while.
How could he not know that there are dangers in the red light, but this thick fog is by no means simple. Lin Zihan can feel that in this fog, the physical and mental consumption is huge, and this thick fog seems to be still there. Interfering with the spirit of those who enter.
"How long will it take?" The red light that was so close in front of me really wanted to walk past, but it seemed to be retreating. I don't know how long I walked, but the faint red light was still as big and small as a firefly. , seems out of reach.
Instead, a lot of white bones gradually appeared on the ground. The gray bones had neat cuts, and one of them looked more like they had been broken. At the break, the jagged bone spurs could be seen.
The surrounding thick fog seems to have become lighter, but there are more white bones. The bones on the ground are like gravel and can be seen everywhere. It seems that there has been a war here, but it seems that it is not just people.
Among those white bones, except for those like human arm bones, many bones were as thick as a human being. They stood in this area with one end buried in the soil, like a tombstone.
On the ground, you can still see some rusty weapons, such as swords, long swords, spears, axes and hammers. However, the rust on them has long concealed their original appearance. Only through the soft rust can we guess that they have been there. look like.
"Look!" Someone shouted, and everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction in front of them.
The thick fog suddenly dissipated here, as if it didn't exist. All that was left was a tall skeleton. The huge skeleton was as high as a hundred meters. When Lin Zihan looked up, he couldn't see how high the skeleton was.
The long vertebrae were like bridges stretched across the dark night, and the huge skull was already much taller than a human being.
"This is a dragon, a real dragon." He Yunhua looked at the teeth on the ground, which were longer than his own arms.
The outbreak of the HS virus has stimulated the latent genes in many beasts, causing a certain degree of hypermutation or atavism. This is also the reason why many ferocious beasts are called dragons, because some of the genes in their bodies are atavistic to dragons. That time period.
Moreover, the ferocious beasts have become more powerful, partly due to the genetic fusion of the virus and itself, resulting in the emergence of more powerful and violent genes. The law of nature, survival of the fittest, is the same with genes.
"The ferocious beasts outside, whether they are armored dragons or dragon lizards, are all dragon-like, and this corpse is probably left by a real dragon." He Yunhua's hand gently brushed over the body that had long lost its energy. The fangs seemed to be feeling the roar from the ancient dragon.
Even if it was just a fang that was no longer sharp, a layer of cold sweat broke out on He Yunhua's back, his body began to tremble, and the hairs all over his body stood up. A cold air followed his pores and forced into his body, making He Yunhua shiver all over.
"There seems to be a... palace there." The tone of the first captain's words became a little doubtful, and there was more uncertainty in his tone.
Everyone looked over and saw that it seemed to be a palace, but it was more like a metal fortress. And that red light was emanating from him.
