Chapter 217 The Finale of Death (7)
Liang Yuan and Makarov were also aware of this problem, "Yes, then we can no longer go in?"

Wei Ming shook his head, "I don't know, all of this is just a legend left by the elders. It is said that the Skeleton City is piled up like a huge maze, and it is difficult for people who go in to come out, even if someone walks out of the Skeleton City and finds it. No one has ever come out of the ancient city."

"No, that Misha..." Makarov thought of Misha.

"That's right, Misha should have found the ancient city, as well as Ma Changguo." Liang Yuan also muttered in a low voice.

Hearing this, Tang Feng fell into deep thought. After a long time, Tang Feng slowly raised his head and asked Wei Ming: "So the passage leading to the ancient city has not been completely blocked, or can someone get out of the Skeleton City?"

"I'm not sure, because I've never been there, and I can only tell the legends passed down by the elders." Wei Ming said calmly, "So I advise you, it's best not to go to the Wild Wolf Valley, otherwise It must be bad luck."

"As long as there is a glimmer of life, I will not give up, not for treasures, nor for anything else, but for so many people who have already died!" Tang Feng's voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm.

After Wei Ming finished telling the ancient and terrible legend, he told Tang Feng to rest well before he was about to leave. Tang Feng suddenly stopped Wei Ming, "Uncle, I want to ask you, who else has been here recently besides us?" Has anyone here asked you about Wild Wolf Valley?"

"No, in the last two months, you are the only foreigners I have met!" After Wei Ming finished speaking, he and his aunt walked out of the tent. Tang Feng looked at the backs of the two of them, and whispered: "What a strange couple. This individual, not only saved us, but also told us such an interesting legend."

"Interesting legend? I think it is a terrible legend!" Liang Yuan said.

"The legend is scary, but it's also very interesting!"

"What do you mean?" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"First of all, this famous uncle is very interesting..."

"What? Do you doubt his identity?" Makarov asked, interrupting Tang Feng's words.

Tang Feng was silent for a moment, "I don't know, but deep in this desert... told us such an ancient legend."

"But I really didn't hear their intention to harm us. I think you're suspicious again!" Liang Yuan said.

"Maybe, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe they're trying to help us..."

"Stop thinking about it!" Liang Yuan persuaded.

"In addition to the interestingness of this famous uncle, the legend he told us is scary but also very interesting." Tang Feng said instead.

"Oh?" Both Makarov and Liang Yuan wanted to hear Tang Feng's advice.

"In particular, the sea of ​​rebirth he mentioned was exactly the same as that described by the masked woman in my dream. Do you still remember what she said? The spring of rebirth is sometimes big and sometimes small. Pearl, without a trace. The legend that Uncle Wei Ming said is also about the Spring of Rebirth, and the names of the two are exactly the same, don’t you think it’s strange?”

After listening to Tang Feng's words, Makarov nodded thoughtfully, "It's very interesting to hear you say that!"

"It's not limited to this. Uncle Wei Ming told another story, that is, the story of the battle between the Mongolian army and the party members here. The beginning part is completely consistent with what we have learned on the southern front!"

"Yeah, I was surprised when I heard that." Liang Yuan recalled.

"The more interesting part is yet to come. The next part that the uncle said is something we didn't know before. If the latter part is really history, then it can explain how the party members in Hanhai Micheng fell in the end."

"That's right! We speculated in Qianhu Town that the Mongolian army must have retaliated against the party members for massacring the city of Qianhu Town. This is the reason why Hanhaimi City finally died. If the legend is true, then we are right!" Liang Yuan became a little excited.

Tang Feng nodded, "So I said this legend is very interesting. There is also the legend of the Skeleton City. When Uncle Wei Ming said it just now, I wondered if it would be another Beijing Temple!"

"Jingguan! But the Jingguan we saw in Qianhu Town is not very big, it is far from the scale of Skeleton City!" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"Yeah, I'm also thinking about this question. If the Mongolian army piled up the bones of the dead party members, it must be a huge Jingguan! I can't imagine it!" Tang Feng kept shaking his head.

"But Uncle Wei Ming said that the Skeleton City built by the Mongolian army blocked the passage to Hanhaimi City, so can we still go in?" Liang Yuan asked worriedly.

"This is the most interesting part of the whole legend! Most of the time, the spring of death will be shrouded in thick fog, but there are also times when the clouds clear and the fog clears. This point has been proved by the famous uncle. In the legend, the Mongolian army was suddenly surrounded by fog. After dissipating, they invaded Hanhaimi City, so the fog is very important! If we want to enter Hanhaimi City, we must wait for the fog to dissipate! There is also the problem of the passage being blocked. I think Misha and Ma Changguo should have I have entered Hanhai Mi City, so there must be a passage, but...but if we really want to find this passage, it will not be so smooth for us to find it." Tang Feng speculated, and then added Said: "Of course, everything I said here is based on the legend. If the legend does not exist, my speculation will be difficult to establish."

"If this is the case, then it would be a good thing for us!" Makarov said suddenly after hearing Tang Feng's words.

"Oh, old horse, what do you mean?"

"I don't think our old opponent will find the passage to Hanhaimi City so smoothly!" Makarov said affirmatively.

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, opportunities are fair to everyone."

The three of them made up their minds in the yurt, and decided to continue their journey tomorrow. Tang Feng saw that Wei Ming's family had several camels, so he wanted to rent the camels from Wei Ming's uncle, and Wei Ming began to urge them not to enter the Wild Wolf Valley again. , but seeing that the three of them were determined, they agreed to rent the camels to the three of them.

Tang Feng and Makarov quickly adapted to the bumps on the camel, but Liang Yuan was startled and frightened when she rode a camel for the first time. It was Liang Yuan who learned to ride a camel. Soon, night fell. After dinner, the three returned to the yurt and fell asleep early. A new journey awaited them.

[Section [-]: The Shadow in the Bunker]

1
In the dark night, Makarov put on his clothes, walked out of the yurt alone, climbed over several sand dunes, and soon came to the water's edge. Makarov felt strange and wanted to call Tang Feng, but there was no Tang Feng, so he When Makarov was surprised, he suddenly found that the water surface in front of him was undergoing a certain change. After a while, the water submerged his shoe uppers. The speed surprised Makarov, he stepped back step by step, the water closely followed, and the water quickly submerged the originally dry sand...

Makarov staggered suddenly and fell on the sand. Why did the water level rise so fast?Not allowing Makarov to think too much, the water level was still rising rapidly. Makarov stood up hurriedly and continued to retreat towards the sand dunes behind him. After dozens of steps, Makarov looked back and realized that he had already Receded from the water's edge to the back of the dune, but the water level in front of him didn't mean to recede at all, and continued to push upwards. Makarov stared at the calm water in front of him with frightened eyes. He didn't know what was terrible under the water. Something is stirring this spring water, and it actually makes the seemingly calm water swallow everything like a scourge!
In the dark night, Makarov couldn't see clearly what was under the sand dunes behind him?Maybe turning over the dunes will get rid of this pressing spring!But... Makarov glanced back again, there was a shadow under the dark sand dunes, Makarov felt a little dizzy, but when he turned his gaze back again, the water still surged at an astonishing height To himself, Makarov is still hesitating. Standing on the back of a high dune, he has a feeling that the height is extremely cold. The spring water has already flowed over the back of the dune and the upper of Makarov’s shoes. , the calm water flowed over the back of the dune, and quickly became turbulent. Makarov felt the sand dune under his feet began to become wet, and then shook. Makarov no longer hesitated. He wanted to escape here, but just now Just when he was about to flee backwards, the tall sand dunes under his feet suddenly collapsed...

Makarov shuddered, waking up from his sleep, it turned out that it was just a nightmare, he breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and murmured softly: "It was all caused by that Haizi! "

However, when Makarov's eyes adapted to the environment here, he suddenly realized that he was not lying in the yurt, but lying on the cold concrete floor. Looking around, it seemed to be a reinforced concrete building with a large space. Makarov couldn't help trembling, where did he come to?
Makarov instinctively fumbled on the wall, and soon, his hand touched something that looked like a switch, he pressed it lightly, and there was a light, and Makarov saw clearly that he was in a In the wide corridor, there are several wall lamps on the wall of the corridor next to you. Where is this?Like... Makarov quickly thought of Bunker 21!
But Makarov was still not sure, hadn't the bunker been blown up?Makarov walked forward thinking wildly. He instinctively thought that there should be a wall lamp in front of the corridor and a switch on the wall, so he walked thirty steps forward and walked into the shadows, but he did not touch the light on the wall. Finding a switch similar to the one just now, Makarov couldn't help being puzzled. He opened his eyes wide and looked ahead. Where did the wide, dark corridor lead?

Suddenly, Makarov felt a shadow appeared on the ground behind him, a shadow that did not belong to him, he turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing!Behind him was a section of space illuminated by wall lamps, and it was still pitch black. Makarov walked a few steps quickly, passed through the bright space, and entered another section of dark corridor. Walking forward, he stretched out his hand to look for the switch on the wall, five steps, ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps, forty steps... When Makarov walked fifty steps, his hands finally felt cold. Touching the switch device on the wall, Makarov stopped, and pressed the switch. There was a crisp sound of "Pa-ta--", the switch was pressed down, but no light came on. At this time, Makarov Only then did I realize that I was too far away from the bright world.

Makarov pressed the switch back and forth a few times, but there was no response. Makarov looked at the dark space around him, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. He looked back at the still bright space, maybe... maybe in this dark space. In the corridor, that was the only light. Makarov wanted to go back and keep that light, but his great curiosity prompted him to go forward, to find the end of the corridor, and leave here!

But... But there might be a huge labyrinth ahead. Just when Makarov was hesitating, he vaguely heard a slight voice coming from the corridor in front. Makarov held his breath and listened carefully. That voice seemed to come from far away, "Pa-pa-pa-" hit Makarov's heart, and he could distinguish it keenly. It was the sound of footsteps, and a person came from the dark Come up to him in the corridor!

Makarov's heart began to beat wildly. Although he had been the enemy for a long time, he still couldn't control his beating heart at this moment, and a huge fear hit him, wrapping his whole body , Makarov instinctively began to retreat, but he could hardly hear his own footsteps, only the footsteps of that person hit Makarov's fragile eardrums in the dark and dead corridor!

"One, two, three, four, five..." Makarov silently recited the sound of the footsteps, which was also his step of retreating. After stepping down, the dark corridor suddenly became deathly silent!
Makarov also stopped, no footsteps, no sound, not even breathing, everything seemed to be still, and after 5 minutes of stalemate, Makarov suddenly felt that he was Under the bright wall lamp, if there is indeed a person walking from the depths of the corridor, then that person may be watching him from the shadows at this moment!Makarov couldn't stand the suffocating atmosphere anymore, he spoke first, "Is anyone there?"

His voice quickly disappeared into the endless corridors, and no one answered, as if no one existed there.Unwilling to give up, Makarov asked again, "Who are you?"

Still no one answered, when Makarov's short words were swallowed by the darkness, everything was as dead as before!
Makarov suppressed his restless heart, pretending to be calm and said: "I know you are there, you are looking at me!"

It was silent again, and Makarov couldn't hold back any longer. He wanted to shout, curse loudly, and rush out of the darkness, but at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from the dark corridor, "Ivan, you haven't changed much for many years!"

"Why, you know me?" Makarov's heart moved.

"You're still so impulsive!" The man didn't answer Makarov's question directly.

"Who are you?" Makarov asked angrily.

In the dark corridor, there was no sound. Time passed like this. Makarov couldn't hold his breath anymore. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the same footsteps again, the same footsteps coming from the dark. However, is the sound of footsteps going away, or is it approaching him?

With years of training as an agent, Makarov quickly heard that the sound of footsteps did not turn around, but approached him. Makarov instinctively continued to step back, one step, two steps, three steps , four steps, five steps... When Makarov stepped back to the eighth step, the footsteps disappeared again, and Makarov quickly calculated that the man should have taken seven steps more than himself, that is to say, A total of fifteen steps forward!

Everything was quiet again, Makarov determined to hold his breath this time.The corridor was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat, but Makarov couldn't hear another heartbeat. Is he a human or a ghost?When Makarov was thinking wildly, the voice spoke first, "I am the one you are looking for!"

"You are... the general!" Although Makarov tried his best to control it, there were still complex elements in his voice, whether it was excitement, ecstasy, panic, or unforgettable hatred!
The voice made a strange sound, it seemed to be laughing, but it was such a strange sound, "Ivan, although you have caused me so much trouble, I also want to thank you for bringing us here , everything will be decided, after a long wait, we will see the last hole card, but between the two of us, only one person can stay until the end and see this hole card."

"So you admit that you are a general, then who are you?" Makarov asked impatiently.

"I said that between the two of us, only one of us will be able to see the hole cards!" The voice was unhurried, and Makarov couldn't hear any emotional changes from it.

"Are you also a hole card?"

"Isn't it? I'm also part of the hole card!"

"Okay, then I won't ask you this!" Makarov calmed down, he wanted to talk to this voice as much as possible, and look for loopholes from it, "I want to know how it all started? Is it because Wei Kedo discovered the basement of the Winter Palace?"

"That's just exposing something, a little bit, to the sun!"

"Yes, I thought about it too. That's just the tip of the iceberg of your huge conspiracy. Your conspiracy started a long time ago, as early as [-], that lost [-]!" Makarov said Said a little excited.

"[-]?" The voice paused. "Hmph, that wasn't the beginning of all this!"
