Jackson talked to Chen Mo to vent his doubts.
The main reason is that after walking in a dark environment for a long time, especially in the passage, the scene remains unchanged. Under the light, it is the ground, top, and walls made of rocks! In such an environment, over time, you will naturally develop a kind of claustrophobia, which may be greater or less severe depending on the person.
Although Jackson had received military training, it did not mean that he was used to this kind of environment, so he found something to say to distract himself from his thoughts.
If a normal person is locked in a small dark room, he may die within seven days. Therefore, this dark tunnel gradually made everyone feel restless.
Fortunately, the passage when this tunnel is to be descended is better, at least it is higher and wider, and it is quite spacious for people to walk in it.
The team walked for nearly twenty minutes. At this speed, they had actually walked about three kilometers, close to four kilometers. Of course, it should have been faster, but because of the fear of traps or enemies appearing, the team moved slower overall.
But even at such a distance of three to four kilometers, there is still no end. It is still a long passage with no end in sight.
If the underground passage is deep, there should be less or even no air in the passage. If you travel in this kind of passage for a long time, you will definitely be unable to move forward due to air problems.
Even mercenaries are ordinary people and their physical fitness is not as high as that of people with supernatural powers, so they will feel more physical discomfort.
But what Chen Mo felt now was that apart from bursts of cold air, there was no lack of air or oxygen. The cold feeling seemed to flow slowly in the passage like a breeze, which made him guess that the ventilation problem was taken into consideration when the passage was first constructed.
Then another question arises, when was the stone platform they came in built? You must know that the entire rock platform should have a lot of years and belong to the Angkor Dynasty.
So how was it possible to excavate and build such an underground passage at that time?
Chen Mo was thinking about it while walking and talking quietly to Jackson. At this time, the team was also buzzing, and many people were whispering to each other.
Neither Tina, who led the team, nor Terra and William, who were led by mercenaries, said anything about this whispered exchange. Walking in the dark passage is a bit of a test for everyone. If everyone is told to shut up, it may cause the team to feel even more tired.
Especially in such a dark passage, if you hear the sound of footsteps, even a timid person may not be able to walk down and will be scared out of his wits.
Unknowingly, the entire team walked like this for about forty minutes. The passage still extended downwards, and the inside of the passage remained unchanged.
Such a long time also made everyone in the team start to feel a little restless. Including the superpowers in the middle of the team, they were also a little surprised. How long was this passage? Could it be that they were encountering some kind of circular passage, or a four-dimensional passage? Were everyone walking in circles all the time?
Walking down such a long passage is not bad for those extraordinary people.
But for mercenaries like Terra, it is really unfriendly.
Because in the dark passage, they are not only responsible for exploring the path, but also need to be on guard at all times, so they hold their guns and move forward slowly as a tactical move. The passage is still very cold and the air temperature is very low. Therefore, each mercenary's spirit is very highly concentrated, which makes the spirit easily fatigued and the body's body temperature loses quickly, which increases the physical exertion of the body.
After marching for such a long time, all the mercenaries felt a little dizzy!
After Terra saw this situation, she called Tina through the intercom and wanted her permission to take a rest in this channel.
Tina also knew that the human spirit cannot be so tense, otherwise it will break, so after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
So, after the team stopped, they began to take a short rest. Moreover, according to the plan before entering the cave passage, after everyone had rested enough, William led the team to explore the way in front, while Tela led the team to be in charge of the rear, and the two teams alternated.
At this moment, everyone stopped and leaned against the wall to drink water when they needed it, and to replenish themselves when they needed to eat something.
At this time, Terra heard a strange sound coming from the front of the passage: "Gala! Gala!...!"
"Lieutenant Commander Terra, what sound do you hear?" The team member in charge of the alert shone his headlight on it, but didn't see anything, so he turned around and asked.
Terra frowned and asked the people around her to whisper. Then she stood up, took out a special bright flashlight and shined it along the dark passage.
As the strong light shines through, breaking the darkness, it gives everyone a sense of peace of mind. No matter who they are, even if they are extraordinary, they will always feel depressed in such a claustrophobic environment, and some people may even be afraid.
So having a beam of light always makes people feel at ease. Just when everyone felt at ease, the moment the light swept across the front, two fluorescent reflections came from the dark passage.
"what is that?"
"What!"
When several vigilant team members asked questions, the two fluorescent spots turned into dots under the strong light.
Immediately afterwards, small, dark figures appeared in the dark passage with two large fluorescent lights. The appearance of these figures quickly ran towards Terra and the others, and they also made a sound: "Gala! Gala!...!"
And as the dark figure approached, everyone heard the chaotic footsteps.
"Alert! Alert!" Terra shouted, and threw the light stick he carried with him directly.
The strong flashlight in your hand cannot be turned on during warning or combat. You can only rely on the light of your headlight and firearm. However, these lights are still not safe, so it is best to have some other auxiliary lighting to strengthen the reference when attacking. That's why Terra threw the fluorescent stick far away to increase the lighting in the passage.
All the mercenaries who were scouting the road in front stood up at this moment, began to be alert, and were ready to attack at any time. Although the entire passage is not wide, if two people stand on both sides, the middle of the passage can actually provide space for people to move.
Therefore, the mercenaries relied on the wall and gradually aimed their guns forward.
As the sound of rattling approached, the small figure became clear in the light. One by one, they began to jump over the farthest fluorescent lighting thrown from the inside. It was at this time that the many mercenaries saw clearly what was coming!
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is this!" The team members on alert shouted nervously.
"Be alert and listen to my orders!" Terra didn't care what kind of monster it was. All he could do was wait until these target enemies approached, pull the trigger, and concentrate his firepower to kill these things.
The small figure, illuminated by many lights, appears to be less than one meter tall, like the body of a child. There are two big black eyes on the big head. Under the illumination of the light, they emit a dark and bright light. These eyes do not look like human eyes.
All the skin on the body is merely stretched, revealing the shape of each bone in the body. The overall skin is black, the body is short, and the arms and legs are small. The whole image is like a mummy, as if it is missing moisture.
Even so, these little figures are still running as fast as flying, and they are making squeaking and squeaking sounds with their weirdly long and narrow mouths that expose all their teeth.
In the hand of the little monster, there is also a weapon about one meter long, which is similar in shape to a spear, but the material of the spearhead and the spear body cannot be seen clearly, and they only appear black.
The little monsters were approaching, and they did not slow down at all, but accelerated towards the mercenaries. All the mercenaries felt that the guns in their hands were shaking. They had experienced all kinds of battles, but this time, it was the first time they saw such a strange creature.
It can't be called a living thing. It seems that it can be called a mummy. But the mummies I had seen before were all wrapped in linen straps, but the little mummies I saw now had overall black skin, but no cloth wrapping.
Terra was still calm. She took aim with the gun and informed Tina at the back through the walkie-talkie. Then she continued to inform William, who was leading the team, to let them be alert.
But because the monster ran so fast, he didn't have time to say anything in detail! Fortunately, if he gave the alert order, Tina and William, who were not far behind, would come up to observe.
When they were moving forward in the cave, they were divided into three teams, with each team separated by tens of meters, to ensure safety.
"Fire! Fire!" Terra opened fire immediately when she saw the little monsters entering the preset position.
The other mercenary members also followed suit and opened fire. For a moment, the flames from the muzzle flickered in the passage. Bullets flew out of the gun barrel one after another, hitting the small figure running in front.
There are a lot of little monsters, and there are not many layers. Hit by the barrage formed by the bullets, the little monster in front was immediately smashed into pieces by the bullets, but strangely there was no blood. It seems that these little monsters have no liquid in their bodies and are composed of dry substances.
At this time, watching the little monster being smashed into pieces, Terra really couldn't use the word flesh and blood to describe it, but only dry matter. And it's not the kind of broken glass, but like dried meat, which turns into tattered pieces after being shattered by a quilt.
As the little monster in front was shattered, the little monster behind did not lag behind and continued to charge.
Moreover, the rattling sound became louder and more rapid!
It seems that this sound is the attack call of the little monster!
