Chapter 301 Re-entering the Fog (01)

After they waited anxiously for the sky to finally light up, and everything around them gradually became clear, they realized that this was indeed a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides. Fortunately, the two mountains were not too high, only a few tens of meters , It’s just that the mountain is steep, and it’s probably impossible to turn over. If you want to leave this place, you can only walk along the mountain to find other ways out. This is all they can see. Other than that, stones are still stones. A little farther away is misty water mist. Anyway, the rain is finally a little lighter than before, but it is still raining endlessly. Looking at the posture, it seems that it will not stop for a while.

"Let's go or wait?" Zhao Chenggong couldn't bear it anymore, he had had enough of this ghost place.

"It's already drenched anyway, let's go." Si Xuanyi looked at the woodcutter for his advice.

"Ask Lin Feng." The woodcutter nodded, which seemed to mean that he wanted to stay here.

"This road is difficult, everyone follow closely." Lin Feng looked at the sky, as if he said with some worry, "It will take a while, I don't know how the situation ahead will be."

Just like that, a few people braved the rain and started to walk forward. The rumbling thunder continued. Although the light was much better, it was still a bit blurry. After all, according to the normal time, it was just before sunrise in the morning It was cloudy and rainy, so the light was still relatively poor. Of course, it was ten thousand times better than the absolute darkness.

"Although I came out, I still don't know where I am, which is quite troublesome." Zhao Chenggong said.

"Even if you die, you have to die outside." Li Siming put his hands on his forehead to block the falling rain and looked at the situation in the distance. "This place is very desolate, with only shrubs and sparse vegetation. It does not match the state of the mountain in our memory. After we go out, we’d better find a suitable place, observe the terrain, and determine the approximate location. Otherwise, if we go in the wrong direction, it will be difficult for us to leave this place. Sichuan is mountainous, and it is a big mountain. Lian Mian, if you go in the wrong direction, it will take quite a long time to get out even if there is no danger."

"At least in this place, you can hunt to satisfy your hunger, which is ten thousand times better than underground." Si Xuanyi was much more optimistic.

"Now I miss the cafeteria of our seventh department very much. I haven't eaten anything serious in the past two days." Zhao Chenggong rubbed his stomach and said, "This little devil is too fucking poor, this dried sweet potato chews my cheeks Don’t talk about pain, don’t care about being full.”

"Have you completed your mission?" Si Xuanyi asked Li Siming.

Li Siming nodded: "The little devils we captured said that their task was to nail 18 sleepy dragon nails below, but after they went in, they were in constant trouble. In fact, only six nails were hit. We took them all out and found the last one. At that time, the mechanism had already been activated, and Lin Feng said that the general mechanism below destroyed the place where the entire circulatory system separated the water veins, so the groundwater backflow was caused."

"If it weren't for the water pouring back this time, it wouldn't be easy for us to get out." Zhao Chenggong said, "I find it strange that this problem was not considered in the design back then? Wouldn't this become an escape route for tomb robbers?"

"The slow speed of the water pouring in is the main reason why we were able to escape. If I'm not mistaken, the damage to the head office was not thorough enough. However, because the water pressure was too high, there was a second burst of complete damage, that is, Later, the water suddenly increased and it completely leaked." Lin Feng said in front, "After all, this kind of mechanism is a one-off, and there may be some problems in the design at the beginning. Of course, it should not be very likely to appear in the royal tomb. We don’t know the specifics, although we can roughly guess the design principles of these organs, but after all, we are not the designers, so we don’t know how to implement them.”

Several people walked forward in the rain while talking, and the road came to an end in a short time. There was a cliff ahead, and the accumulated rainwater washed down from the cliff to form a waterfall. Although it was not strong, the depth below should be more than 50 meters.

"It seems that there is no way to go here." Zhao Chenggong shook his head in disappointment. He asked Lin Feng, "What about other directions? Is it also impossible to go out?"

"It seems that I can't get out." Lin Feng said in a low voice.

"It seems... what do you mean?" Zhao Chenggong didn't understand.

"What I mean is that I have checked before, but there may be some omissions in the absolute darkness. If you want to check it again, I have no objection." Lin Feng looked at the sky and said, "However, don't get too big hope."

Si Xuanyi understood what he meant, he felt that if everyone didn't personally prove that there was no way out here, they would definitely not be reconciled.

"It doesn't matter, even if it doesn't work, we still have a rope. At worst, we can climb down from here." Li Siming reassured everyone, but several people knew that their rope was only 30 meters, and they had to take great risks to think about it.

"Don't be afraid, let's look for it first." Si Xuanyi waved his hand, "As usual, divide into two groups and search in two directions."

"You won't encounter that kind of thing again?" Zhao Chenggong asked Lin Feng with some concern.

"It stands to reason that those things will return to their lairs after sunrise, because their eyes have not grown yet, and only adults will come out and run around day and night. You can only expect that there are only juvenile beasts around here." Lin Feng Continue to be expressionless.

"His grandma's, isn't that very dangerous?" Zhao Chenggong subconsciously grabbed his Thomson submachine gun.

"Just try your luck, there is no other way." Si Xuanyi said, "Whether there are those things or not, we have to find a way."

"Hurry up, this place is not easy to stay for a long time." The woodcutter turned and looked at the misty rain curtain behind him and said.

Li Siming and Lin Feng are still in a group, and the other three people are in a group, advancing in two directions from east to west. Simply put, they really didn't encounter any trouble during this process. When going out for a walk, it is either going down the cliff or going up the cliff. They are on a natural platform in the middle of a cliff. Big canyons, they are just on the platform of one of the cliffs.

"Fuck me, what the hell is this place?" Zhao Chenggong finally understood how unexpected their situation was.

"It's no wonder that the vegetation here is sparse, so it's in the middle of the cliff." Si Xuanyi frowned as he went on the ropeway.

"How did those beasts come up?" Li Siming asked Lin Feng.

"These things can climb cliffs, they can climb up and down cliffs like blue sheep." Lin Feng said.

"Then we're doomed, we don't have that ability." Zhao Chenggong sat down on a rock, and the one who escaped so hard fell into this situation again.

"Let's wait for the rain to stop. Let's find a way to go down. As long as we can step on the ground, we won't have to worry about finding our way out." Si Xuanyi also said helplessly.

"Let's take a rest first!" The woodcutter also frowned, "At least we can be sure that there are no more devils here, go to the place where the devils stayed before, that place can be more or less dry, and then search the remaining two corpses to see See if there's anything available."

What else could they do but wait for the rain to stop?It's not wrong to take a break first, after all, climbing a cliff is quite a test for a person's physical strength.

When they found the corpses of the remaining devils, they found that they had been eaten by those wild beasts, but fortunately, the contents of the corpses remained. They found a pot of kerosene, a knife, A small amount of ammunition and food, some medicines and two bandages, a rope about ten meters long, it seems that it was temporarily cut off for some reason, and the 30 meters in their hands is still not enough, but it is better than Not much better.

When they got to the bonfire, they found that the fuel was actually piles of bones. It seemed that the bones were concentrated and then ignited with kerosene.

"His grandma's, the little devil actually eats these boiled things." Zhao Chenggong felt a little nauseous.

"It's good to have this kind of thing burning in this place." Si Xuanyi kicked the extinguished bonfire, "But this place is good, at least it can shelter from the rain."

"Boss, why are you so optimistic? Are we trapped here now?" Zhao Chenggong sat down.

"What should I do if I'm not optimistic? Is crying to solve the problem?" Si Xuanyi sat on the side, "This place is very strange, where are there so many bones?"

"This is an animal bone." Li Siming reported the remaining bones after burning together, "It seems to have been a while."

"This seems to be the...canteen for those things, where they eat." Lin Feng said, "The entire cliff platform is half-empty. For them, this is an absolutely safe place. It is absolutely safe to eat prey here. be disturbed by anything."

"Then aren't we in danger?" Zhao Chenggong's back felt cold and his whole body was hairy.

"But we can't do without now." Li Siming said while checking his gun, "There are less than 50 rounds of ammunition, which won't do much."

"Save it up, we still have a long way to go back." Si Xuanyi said with a sigh, but in fact he had nothing to do.

"At least it's safe now." Lin Feng looked at the rain curtain outside.

"How do you know?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"I don't feel any danger or other things. There are no other living things here except us." Lin Feng said softly.

"I have another question. Since this is the highest point of the entire Huangling, since this place is the same as the outside world, will those giant bats fly out from here to hunt?" Li Siming asked.

"It's possible, but it's definitely not just this one exit. The exits in the underground waterway must be connected to the outside world, and they are relatively hidden. It's just that we came out of here by accident." The woodcutter said while wringing his clothes, "So from there There should be more than one way out, but we can’t find it.”

"It should mean that there is more than one place that is connected to the outside world, but not all places allow people to come out." Lin Feng took over the conversation and said, "Because those roads are not for people to walk, and once the mausoleum is closed, there is no chance for people to come in and out. , so most of the places that are the same as the outside world cannot be reached by humans, if it is not submerged in water, it is impossible for us to get out of here.”

"What you said makes sense." Si Xuanyi nodded, "Even if we come out, we may not be able to leave. For example, aren't we trapped on this half of the cliff now?"

"It's not for people to walk here, I hope our rope can send us here safely." Zhao Chenggong said, looking at a roll of rope next to him.

"Throwing the length of connecting the two ropes and the fixed rope is about 37-[-] meters for us. It's hard to say what the next situation will be. If the rock wall is rough enough, we can climb down, but the specific situation can only be reached. I just found out." Si Xuanyi leaned to the side, "After the rain stops, let's gather those bushes and trees, pull out the bark and see if we can weave a straw rope, which can be extended by one meter is one meter, although this Might be a little dangerous, but worth a try."

The woodcutter nodded: "When I searched just now, there were two small trees. If we used bark... we can only make a length of three to five meters at most, and we can only rely on ourselves for the rest. Now The situation below is still unclear, and it will be fine when the rain stops.”

It rained for more than an hour before it stopped. They waited for a while, and then went to check the situation on the edge of the cliff after the water outside was a little less. Still can't see clearly.

"It seems that we can only climb down to have a look." Si Xuanyi sighed, "Gather all the available bark here, Siming, find a place to fix the rope."

Everyone immediately started to prepare separately. Weaving rope is not difficult, and there is no problem in ensuring it is strong. As long as there are sufficient materials, it can be done. But what they lack most now is materials. In the end, they only made a rope more than three meters long. This section of the rope was connected to the end by them, so that they could probably guarantee a 40-meter-long rope. Even if the latter section broke, they would only fall about ten meters. It is much better than falling directly from a height of tens of meters.

"Okay, let's go down one by one, who will be the first?" Si Xuanyi looked at the others, but no one spoke, so he could only sigh, "I'll do it! I'll go down first, no matter what happens below, as long as I I'll tell you if I still have breath."

Li Siming stuffed a magazine into his lower back: "It's useless to talk too much, just be careful!"

Although it was sliding down, it was not easy. In many places, he had to rely on his hands and feet to adjust the direction. There were too many raised places on the rocks, which consumed his energy. When he was close to the end of the rope, he got into the sea of ​​fog. There was white mist all around the house, and the visible distance was only three to five meters. He could only see the rock wall closest to him. For safety, he slowed down, and soon he stepped on a smooth place, but he immediately lost sight of it. I understand, this is a protruding part of the rock that is only one meter wide. He stood there for a while, and he couldn't see how deep it was below. He wiped his sweat and planned to take a rest to relieve his sore arms. It was not easy to get down from the top. He accidentally saw something moving in the gap next to him, and he was startled. When he was about to take a closer look, a huge object suddenly jumped out and directly jumped on him. At that moment, he had already seen clearly that it was a boa constrictor, which was not small in size, and it hit him directly, wrapping him tightly in an instant, and the moment he let go of his hand, it fell directly...
