"Don't be afraid, we are bounty hunters, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you"
Facing such a person who lives here secretly, safety is what he needs most and what he needs most. Gao Han had already put away his weapons when he spoke.
Facing these women, and adding Gao Han's words, the man hiding here chose to believe it, stared at them with wide eyes, and then crawled out of his old wooden box little by little, holding on to his hand Not forgetting to bring along his Scarecrow Pete.
Under the light, everyone finally saw the man's appearance clearly. In fact, let alone his appearance, the clothes on his body were almost torn into rags, hanging piece by piece on his body, and his face was dirty and ugly. , his facial features can no longer be distinguished, and with his messy hair, he looks like a primitive man. If he hadn't been able to speak, I wouldn't have known whether he was a boy or a girl.
"Don't be afraid. Can you tell me your name? Why do you live here?"
Gao Han looked at him and asked softly.
"The front...the front can't be passed"
This man did not answer Gao Han's words, but stretched out his hand to point into the tunnel. The next second, he was suddenly stunned because he saw the four tanks with searchlights behind Gao Han and the others. He was stunned. , turned his finger, pointed at the four cars behind them, and said with trembling lips: "Cars... cars... can't drive..."
After hearing this, Ma Tao, who was sitting in the car, immediately realized that something was going on here. He raised his wrist and turned on his communication watch and said to Gao Han: "Ask him why he can't drive."
This matter was of great importance. How could Gao Han not know this? He glanced back at the convoy of chariots behind him, glanced at Ma Tao to show that he had received it, and then turned his head back, with a calm expression on his face. He continued to ask with a smile: "Why can't you drive?"
The dirty guy stared at the communication watch on Gao Han's wrist again and fell into a trance. His eyes were staring straight at this talking thing, as if he was caught in some kind of memory, but he did not take it seriously. He mistakenly asked Gao Han and said, "If you drive a car, you will break the wall. No matter what you are doing here, if you act recklessly, you will end up like me. Moreover, the sound of the car is loud and dangerous..." …”
"Is there any danger? What danger is there? Are there monsters here? Where are they? Why didn't I see them?"
Gao Han's captivating eyes blinked. How could she not know what danger there would be here? Of course she asked knowingly in the hope of getting more information.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Gao Han say the word "monster", this man's whole body was shaking like chaff, and he returned to reality from a trance. He kept muttering "Monsters...there are monsters..." and his whole body moved in a very fast way. He quickly returned to his old wooden box and refused to come out no matter how many people outside greeted him.
Considering that his den is surrounded by dirty Aolige and strong-smelling human life water, Gao Han doesn't want to talk to him in this simple shack. Besides, it seems that this person must have suffered something. It was a strong stimulus that made him what he is now, and the information he knows is very limited. Even if he really knows a little, if he wants to ask everything, it will take a long time. Moreover, the environment and smell here are so unique that Gao Han can't wait for a moment. Went down.
Although Gao Han was fearless during the battle, she didn't look down on any bloody storms or broken limbs, but this was different. In other words, a basin of blood was poured on Gao Han's head. She wouldn't even move, but if she were given a pot of Aoli, I believe that not only Gao Han, but Ma Tao would stay far away. This is so disgusting.
Knowing that nothing could be asked, Gao Han gestured to Sister R and Su Lanyu and said, "Let's go."
Before leaving, they also placed some of the food and water they had brought with them where the food was.
After Gao Han and the others returned to the car, the motorcade continued to set off.
Although this poor man didn't give much information, there was still a lot for reference. The first thing to do was to pay attention to the walls. Ma Tao subconsciously controlled the searchlight of his chariot to shine on the surrounding walls. He didn't know it. , this look is really shocking.
Although there are lights in the passage, the lights that are still strong and able to illuminate after many years can be said to be of very good quality. Otherwise, they have stopped working long ago. However, although they can be bright, the illumination is also very weak, so the passage It always feels gray here.
After Ma Tao shined the tactical searchlight on the walls on both sides, the cracks on the wall were clearly visible under the bright light. Many of the walls made of reinforced concrete, bricks and stones had cracked, and some cracks continued from top to bottom. , the further you go in, the more cracks there are in the walls, including the roofs, many of which have collapsed and may be completely scrapped before long. This place has become a veritable dangerous building.
The passage is straight, because the echo is loud in the empty place. I am afraid that the vibration generated when the chariot is driving will cause it to collapse, so I have to slow down the speed. But this is okay. The road ahead is unknown, and who knows what will happen. The danger lurks.
After driving forward for a while, large-scale cracks appeared on the walls on both sides. The soil pouring in from the outside of the wall almost closed half of the passage. The team had to draw "s" on the edges of these piles of soil. Bend forward.
When the convoy passed through this area, the searchlights on the car shone across the damaged walls. There were obvious traces of smoke and dense cracks around the cracked holes in the walls. Anyone who knows a little bit about physics knows that. , the formation of such cracks cannot be natural, it must be caused by a heavy blow.
"These walls... seem to have been blown apart..."
Xiao Jinzi was talking to himself, but his words could be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the watch on his wrist.
"It looked like it was blasted away by a cannon."
Ma Tao replied.
"It seems like there was quite a battle here."
Xiao Jinzi said.
The further you go in, the more places have been bombarded. The walls are full of bullet marks and traces of violent shock waves. These are enough to show everyone how fierce the battle was at that time. However, there is no way to see it here. Seeing any corpses is quite puzzling.
The convoy continued to walk in, but as they walked, they turned a corner and found that there was no road ahead. In front of everyone's eyes was a thick layer of soil that completely blocked the way forward. From these Judging from the area of the collapsed soil, it is at least tens of meters away, or even longer.
"Can't make it? It seems like that person didn't lie to us."
Xiao Jinzi and Ma Tao, who got off the car, frowned at the soil pouring into the passage. After a while, Xiao Jinzi sighed quietly and said.
Ma Tao stared at the top of the collapsed passage for a long time. Under the illumination of the vehicle's searchlight, it was also sealed with mud, making it impossible for people to pass by. Then Ma Tao stepped hard on these things under his feet. The black and yellow soil was incredibly strong. Then Ma Tao grabbed a piece of soil from the ground and held it in his hand. The soil in his hand immediately broke into several pieces and did not disperse into sand. This shows that the collapse took place here. It had been a long time, the soil had solidified, and a doubt suddenly arose in Ma Tao's heart.
There was only one way in, and it was almost a straight line with no forks. Now, the way forward was blocked, but where did the people who came in before them go? There is so much soil poured in here that it is absolutely impossible to dig it out. And since it can collapse, it will continue to collapse if you dig it. Is it possible that those people are all rats and can just run away? No.
"There should be other exits from this place, let's look for it."
Throwing away the lump of soil in his hand, Ma Tao looked around, but the surrounding area was clean and there was no other exit.
"Will it be on the way we came?"
Gao Han's voice came from the watch on her wrist. Apparently she had also thought of the question that Ma Tao had thought of.
After standing there in thought for two seconds, Ma Tao called back Xiao Jinzi, who was still looking for a secret door by the wall, and the two returned to their respective chariots.
What Gao Han said makes sense. If there is a collapse here, the soil above will definitely loosen. It is definitely unrealistic to open a road here. If those people really left from other places, it is very likely that they just left. A certain section of the way in.
Ma Tao divided the convoy into two teams, and started searching along the walls little by little on both sides of the passage. Sure enough, after walking back for less than 200 meters, the right wall was widened at one point. Cracks in the wall caught everyone's eye.
The bottom of the crack has been artificially expanded a lot, forming a hole that can accommodate three adults passing through at the same time. However, it is still difficult to accommodate a chariot and needs to be wider.
I used a vehicle-mounted searchlight to shine into the crack, and unexpectedly found that the space behind it was quite large, and there were actually traces of artificial excavation on the ground. What kind of place was this?
"Get out of the car with me and have a look"
Ma Tao parked the No. 1 car, turned off the engine, carried weapons and equipment, opened the hatch and got out of the car.
The two of them first looked at the opening of the crack. The traces of man-made expansion on the wall were still new, and many of the fractures in the masonry were still new. The messy footprints on the ground showed everything, and that was where the group left.
"Brother Tao, I think our car should be able to drive in directly."
Xiao Jinzi leaned half of his body in and took a look, and found that the back of the wall was empty, which meant that the two spaces were only separated by a wall. After discovering this, Xiao Jinzi walked in directly. Ma Tao secretly cursed this guy for being reckless. When can I change my character? Isn't there any danger involved?
Worried that Xiao Jinzi was in danger, Ma Tao followed him in.
After coming in, I found that there was another cave-like space inside. There were no lights, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"Can you, boy, be a little more organized and disciplined? Come out with me immediately!"
Ma Tao wanted to reach out and pull Xiao Jinzi out first, but right here, the kid screamed in surprise.
"Brother! There is someone here!"
How dangerous it is for a person to suddenly appear in such a dark place. Ma Tao looked in the direction of Xiao Jinzi's voice, and the lighting equipment he just turned on in his hand also shone in it.
I saw that this underground space is similar to a cellar. The surrounding walls are all earth walls without any artificial reinforcement. It is like a cave. In the corner of the cave, there is a man lying on his body who is also wearing a mecha. Judging from the appearance of this man's mecha, he should be the steel-clad mecha that Ma Tao is currently equipped with. However, Ma Tao can tell from the dense rust on the man's mecha and the signs that the man's surroundings have almost merged with the ground. Look, this must be a dead person. He has been lying here for at least a month or two. How can he be alive?
"What's the fuss about? It's just a dead person, what's the fuss?"
After seeing the person clearly, Ma Tao reprimanded Xiao Jinzi, saying to himself that this kid had experienced many life-and-death battles, why was he still so startled when he saw a dead person? Then he held the lighting equipment towards the person. When the dead body goes away, this situation must be investigated. In many cases, the dead can also tell you a lot.
Xiao Jinzi wanted to say something after being told something, but after looking at the displeasure on Ma Tao's face, he swallowed it back. He raised his legs and followed Ma Tao's footsteps, walking towards the dead body together.
After walking in, the corpse on the ground became much clearer. When he saw the corpse clearly, Ma Tao couldn't help but frowned and said, "How is this possible?" '
"You noticed it too, right?"
Xiao Jinzi then smiled, looked at Ma Tao and asked.
Ma Tao raised his head and glanced at him without saying a word. He squatted down and began to carefully examine the strange corpse.
"What happened? Do you need us to go in?"
Gao Han's questioning voice came from the watch.
"Bring the car in"
Ma Tao replied.
The reason why he dared to let the chariot in was because Ma Tao had observed that the area around the entrance of the cave was quite wide, and there was only a wall between it and the outside world. The entry of the chariot was just to expand the wall a little, and the passage outside was raised very high. There should be no collapse. There is no light source in this cave. Ma Tao needs the light of the chariot to shine in.
With a loud rumble and a small cloud of dust, Gao Han drove her sea-blue chariot directly through the wall and rushed in. This is underground after all, and the moisture in the soil is several times that of the ground, so It's not very dusty.
The chariot came in, and the light naturally came in. Ma Tao turned off the lighting equipment in his hand, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and then officially began to examine this strange dead man.
The reason why this corpse is strange is entirely because the person's facial features, including body, hair and skin, are all lifelike. If it weren't for the fact that the person's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, his expression was distorted, he was frightened, and he was breathless. In addition, his pair of already... With the lifeless eyes, Ma Tao suspected that this person was pretending to be a living person. Ma Tao did not find any obvious fatal wounds on this person. How this person died is still a mystery.
What's even stranger is that the mecha the corpse is wearing is so rusted that you can almost see the internal parts. The precision-made steel mecha is so rotten that it breaks into pieces at a touch and is about to fall apart. That's all. Some people believe that the appearance and quality of the mecha are products left over from 20 to 30 years ago, but the question is, how could a mecha be worn on a person who had just died? It would break at the touch of a touch. How did he put on his mecha? This was the second question.
"What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems?"
There were footsteps behind him, it was Gao Han.
"nothing?"
Ma Tao stood up and looked back. She and Su Lanyu had already gotten out of the car. They walked over in a few steps with light steps.
"Strange, this sentence about corpse..."
The two women also immediately noticed the strangeness of the corpse on the ground.
"Yes, we are both curious about this too."
Ma Tao glanced at Xiao Jinzi, then spread his hands towards them, indicating that he was helpless now.
"What's so curious about this? There are only two kinds of death, one is natural death, the other is unnatural death, and this one is obviously the latter."
Gao Han also squatted down first and looked at the dead man carefully.
"I know this, go on"
Ma Tao nodded and agreed with Gao Han's words, but he also knew that Gao Han had not finished what he said.
"Unnatural death means homicide. There are two ways of death. One is internal killing and the other is external killing. This person does not have any wounds or blood spots on his body. The possibility of external killing can be ruled out, so the remaining He was killed internally. The skin color of this person's body is very normal and there are no capillary bleeding spots, but his face is distorted. There are only two possibilities. One is the possibility of shock waves that can damage the inside of the body and cause internal injuries, and the other is the most common one. manner of death"
While Gao Han carefully observed the appearance of the corpse, he talked a lot. Ma Tao heard the last sentence clearly, and immediately asked, "What is the most common way of death?"
"Poison"
Su Lanyu next to her answered this question perfectly. While speaking, she directly pulled out the alloy sword from behind. The sharp blade fell on the exposed neck of the corpse, and cut a small incision directly at the aorta. A stream of black blood slowly flowed down along the incision.
Because the person has died, the heart has stopped beating long ago, the blood flow in the body has stopped, and the blood is trapped in the blood vessels. There is no pressure, otherwise the pressure in the large arteries will definitely splash out.
"It seems the results have appeared"
Gao Han stared at the blood stain left by the blade, then stood up.
"Then what's going on with his mecha?"
The cause of death was found, but Ma Tao still had one curious point that he didn't answer.
"It's poison. These are not rust stains, but are formed after being invaded by certain poisonous things. We call them poisonous sores. They are not like acid. They are not the same as acid, although both are corrosive. sex, but the physical properties are completely different.”
After Gao Han finished speaking, he picked up another stone on the ground and threw it directly on the corpse's mecha. After hearing a bang, a black smoke rose up, and Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi were frightened. He quickly backed away, but when he saw Gao Han and Su Lanyu still standing there, they immediately said in fright, "Come out quickly, didn't you say it was poisonous!!"
"Look what scares you, the poison is gone and it won't hurt anyone anymore."
Gao Han burst out laughing, looking at the pile of black smoke slowly scattering to the ground.
"Ah? This thing is sometimes poisonous and sometimes not poisonous? Is it poisonous at all?"
Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi were immediately confused.
"How should I put it? This kind of poison is very powerful, and it is specially designed to restrain metals. However, this poison is also very weak. Well...how to put it, this is like a virus, very powerful, but after it leaves the host and comes into contact with the air , the principle of dying within a few minutes is very similar, but once dead, there will be no harm at all.”
After thinking, Gao Han came up with such an easy-to-understand statement.
After saying this, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi also understood.
"What kind of monster could it be with such a special poison?"
Xiao Jinzi thought for a while and then said.
"It's definitely not easy to deal with."
After Ma Tao answered, he looked at the dirt wall in front of him and said, "Look at the scratch marks on the walls around here. They are densely packed. There are so many, and they are light and heavy. Just look at these claw marks and say that you should be here before." It’s very likely that it’s a monster’s lair.”
"Then will this monster come back here?"
Xiao Jinzi suddenly thought of this question.
"Generally not. No matter what kind of creature, as long as the nest is discovered, it will usually choose to give up. After all, the first element of the purpose of establishing a nest is safety and concealment. Once discovered, the role of the nest will be lost."
He reached out and touched the claw marks deeply embedded in the wall, feeling the sharpness of the monster's claws, and Gao Han said without looking back.
"What? Are you scared?"
When Su Lanyu heard this kid ask, he took the sword back and said with a smile.
"What a joke, am I scared? No matter what is in front of me, it depends on whether it is strong or my cannon is powerful."
Of course, Xiao Jinzi couldn't admit it. He patted his chest and said proudly.
"Then stop talking nonsense and get in the car. Let's catch up and take a look."
The information given by this corpse has been grasped. The space here is wide and there is nothing. There is no point in staying here. Now Ma Tao is thinking about whether he can catch up with them as soon as possible. Someone died, which means that the other party has contacted them. This unknown creature exchanged fire, and it was obvious that he didn't take any advantage.
Everyone returns to their cars and the convoy continues unless.
The area of the cave can be as big as half a football field. The exit is to the west, and the position they entered is from behind. Generally, the nest has only one exit, unless it is the nest of a non-predator creature that likes to give it to itself. Leave several exits, just like a rabbit, that's how the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves came about.
The size of this monster must be quite large, because the chariots driving in and out of the nest are not crowded, which is enough to show that the nest is a big guy, and it is quite big.
Walking westward along the exit of this lair, less than a hundred meters away, a light source appeared in front of them. After coming out, they actually came to an underground mine.
Looking at the big hole that the monster had punched at the edge of the mine, everyone's faces looked ugly.
Because this monster actually penetrated the nearly four to five meters thick cement-reinforced wall of the mine. This thickness can definitely withstand the attacks of most earth-penetrating missiles. I didn't expect to be beaten by this unknown monster. Wearing each other, this is no longer something that only requires strength.
The mine area here is vast, with tracks on the east and west sides, and a gentle platform built in the middle at some distance. It is probably used for stacking and unloading goods. Now it is empty, with nothing left.
There is a load-bearing column in the mine at an average of 30 meters. The huge weighing column is so thick that only four tanks can reach its length. As for the width, it is also about two trucks. This shows how extensive the facilities here are. Sturdy,.
But the place where they came out was also a collapse point, and the north side of the mine was completely sealed by the soil poured into the mine.
