Chapter 67 Monsters
What is the origin of this bottomless pit?
Why is there a bottomless pit here in "Juejie"?

He suddenly felt that the reason why the research base is located here is probably because of this bottomless pit.

Chi Heng's eyes turned accordingly. Because of the shock brought by the bottomless pit, he ignored a certain clue for the first time. Only then did he observe carefully and found that there were artificially dug stairs on the edge of the bottomless pit. Layer by layer, the stone walls spiral down like threads, extending into the abyss of the bottomless pit.

"There...is there a ladder?"

He didn't dare to poke his head too deep. After a few glances, he retracted his gaze, took a few breaths, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then probed to observe the source of the stairs.

"It seems to be from the left..."

Chi Heng looked to the left, about a few hundred meters away from him, it should be the entrance of the spiral staircase.

"Let's go over there and see."

At a distance of several hundred meters, Chi Heng, who has 1.0 vision in both eyes, can't see clearly. He took out the binoculars to look far away, and because of the dim light, he couldn't make out the difference. Only by walking over in person can he know the specific details.

It didn't take too long. When Chi Heng arrived at the destination, he found that there was indeed a ladder entrance from here, and he only needed to go down here to go deep into the bottomless pit.

In this way, it is much more convenient, and there is no need to consider hanging people down with ropes.

But who dug this ladder?

Is it someone from the research base?

not like...

Just because the ladder is not made of cement and steel, but is made of primitive granite, it looks quite strong, but considering that the width of the ladder is only a little over 1 meter, and there are no handrails and guardrails, walking on it What is needed is not courage, but the spirit to die.

Chi Heng felt that he didn't have the spirit to go to the death to test it out, not to mention that he also said in his notes that many people in the research base had died in the past.

"Let's consider how to enter the research base now."

Just as Chi Heng was about to turn around, he turned back suddenly. Did he read something wrong just now?Something flashed in the distance on the stairs going down?

May be really dazzled.

After Chi Heng observed for a while and found that there was no movement, he returned the same way.

Unexpectedly, after walking more than 20 meters away, the high-sensitivity sound sensor next to the "broken copper and iron" detected something, "Sir!"

The "old man", who feels second only to "broken copper and iron", seemed to have noticed something abnormal, and turned his head and barked.

Chi Heng glanced at it suspiciously, and when he saw "Battered Copper and Iron" turning around, he turned around too, and was immediately horrified.

At the entrance of the stairs just now, a figure climbed up. The reason why it is said to be a figure is because it seems to be a human being?And using crawling to describe it is because this human being is very different from the human being in the conventional sense.

He was completely naked, with nothing to hide, lying on the ground, crawling forward like a snake, but soon, he propped up his body, and what supported him to stand up were the arms under his armpits and the growth of ribs. arms, arms that grow from the belly, arms that grow from the sides of the thighs...

This one looks like a human being, but it grows four pairs of arms in an extremely strange manner, supporting and crawling forward like a human centipede, which caused a strong pollution stimulus to Chi Heng's spiritual consciousness, and subconsciously took out the "Red Dragon", He took a few steps back.

The muzzle of the "Red Dragon" was aimed at this monster that could no longer be called a human being. The monster's human head was round and swollen, and its eyes protruded abnormally like fish eyes. Its mouth was open and transparent saliva flowed. , as soon as he saw Chi Heng pointing his gun at it, he immediately moved quickly. The speed was so fast that Chi Heng had no time to turn his gun, and saw the monster turn around and greet him.

At the critical moment, "Broken Copper and Iron" reacted the fastest. It rushed forward, kicked the mechanical leg, and hit the monster that was rushing.

How terrifying was the output power of "broken copper and rotten iron", the monster hissed, was kicked hard and flew out, rolled on the ground several times, and then supported its body with four pairs of arms again, crawling rapidly, Avoided a shot from the "Red Dragon".

"boom!"

The "Red Dragon" missed the monster, and a crater exploded on the ground where it hit, and the broken stones flew in all directions, but the monster crawled into the bottomless pit, descended rapidly along the stone wall like a gecko, and disappeared in Chi Heng's within sight.

"Wang Wang!"

The "old man" rushed over and barked wildly at the edge of the bottomless pit.

Chi Heng, who was in shock, also mustered up his courage, but when he came to the edge of the cave to look around, he didn't find any trace of the monster.

"What the hell is that?"

Afraid of being attacked again, Chi Heng quickly retreated to a safe distance with the "old man", his heart still pounding.

Not only because of the monster's sudden attack, but also because of the monster's face and body.No matter how you look at it, it is a human body, but four pairs of arms have grown like radiation mutations?Can the four pairs of arms be used as insect limbs to climb on the ground?
The speed is also extremely fast!
"Such a monster..."

It should be Chi Heng's first encounter with a "live" life in the "absolute realm" after exploring for so long!

But I didn't expect that the first time I met a "living" life, it was like this. If you don't say hello, you will attack yourself. What's even more frightening is that the appearance and characteristics of this "living" life are so horrifying. Non-human monsters are even more difficult to adapt to.

Starting from encountering a hurricane with extreme weather, the terrifying side of "Jue Jie" gradually opened up in front of Chi Heng, step by step proving the word danger in Chi Heng's old uncle's notes.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Broken copper and rotten iron" came to care about Chi Heng.

"I am fine."

Chi Heng waved his hand, "Get out of here first."

He still doesn't know the danger of this bottomless pit, even before stepping in, there is already danger coming, if he continues to stay, there may be more unknown dangers continuing to come, so he should evacuate quickly.

Compared with the slow walk when he came, Chi Heng, who was walking back at this moment, was walking fast, and he had to look back from time to time, worrying about some monsters attacking him suddenly.

When Chi Heng finally got on the rover and closed the door, he was finally relieved and had to admit that he was scared.

How could you not be cowardly?
How about someone with more courage to try?

Sitting on the back-shaped sofa, Chi Heng wiped the sweat off his lower body with a paper towel, checked the "Red Dragon" magazine, and reloaded a bullet.

"Battered copper and iron" climbed onto the roof of the car from the cargo compartment, sat on it and observed the surrounding movements in real time. After Chi Heng recovered his breath, he boiled a pot of water for himself, slowly poured a cup of coffee, and added some Sugar calm down.

A small but useful technique. When humans are nervous and fearful, the whole body consumes a lot of energy. At this time, adding a little sugar can effectively use dopamine to calm the mood and restore it.
