Indiana Jones

Chapter 444: Boundless Sea of ​​Fire (01)

Everyone didn't think about anything other than running forward. Anyway, it was useless to think about anything, and there was no time to think about it. What should come will always come. They simply cannot avoid it. No matter what will fall from their heads, they will I can't care about it anymore, the reason is very simple, even if they are stabbed, they have nowhere to hide, this time they are really helpless, in this ghost place, they will either be smashed to death or roasted to death, what else can they do besides run?Just the burning sensation of the heat wave on the body is really crushing.

The only good thing about this fire is that the tree corpses have disappeared. It seems that the innate fear of flames has long since escaped.

The most material used in this huge mountain tomb complex is wood. After more than 2000 years, these special woods have been thoroughly dried, so the fire spread very fast. Perhaps the people who built this place would not have thought that this place would be destroyed. It was reduced to ruins by a fire.

"Keep the water in your mouth, don't rush to swallow it." Lin Feng said to the others while running, "If you want to survive, hurry up..."

"No matter how fast...how can you still fly?" Ye Feng smiled bitterly. Among the four of them, his physical strength was considered good, but at this point, he also felt that he could not hold on any longer.

"Can we find a place where there is less fire?" Li Siming asked. In fact, his condition is also bad, but he has been standing still and not getting down, but even if he can't stand it now, he doesn't want to die in this fire.

"If we take a detour, it will waste more time. First, we have no physical strength. Second, this place will soon spread into a huge furnace. By then, we will have no chance to escape from here." Lin Feng roared He drove the people to continue running forward, he knew that everyone's physical strength had reached the point of exhaustion, but how could he be better?But in this situation, if you don't run, you will die. Even if you are afraid of being exhausted on the way to escape, you can't wait here to die. The hot air waves carry endless threats of death, like an invisible big hand Slowly stretching towards them, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape.

Not long after running, a big pit appeared in front of them, which was caused by something falling from the top of the tree. Originally, the bottom was empty, coupled with the impact of the falling object, it caused this This kind of destruction, all of which are running iron chains and some weird and mechanical things, have been smashed to pieces at this time, but there is still a large part of it running, and a part of it fell into the burning building. After baking, some parts have been burned red.

"How big is this institution? The bottom has been hollowed out." Ye Feng said while running.

When everyone passed by, they just had a quick glance, and they didn't have time to look carefully, but basically the general situation could still be seen, but the pit was too huge, and they could only run around the edge, but many places They were all burning again, so they could only continue to find other ways.

"All buildings are part of the mechanism..." Lin Feng continued pointing in another direction, "Run over there, the fire over there will be smaller."

"No matter how much we run, we'll be familiar with it." Li Siming took some water in his mouth to relieve the intense thirst.

"Don't stop if you can move, we are not halfway there yet." Lin Feng was also quite helpless, judging from their current situation, the possibility of escaping was very small.

"There is no way to heaven, no way to earth..." Si Xuanyi looked around while running. He could see nothing but the spreading fire. There was fire everywhere, as if he was in an underground sea of ​​fire, and the wood kept bursting. The voices came and went, believing that nothing can survive in this situation, but they are still struggling here, not because they are lucky, but because they have not given up on fleeing and still have the desire to survive.

"Follow me..." Lin Feng suddenly changed direction without any explanation.

The others didn't know what he wanted to do, so he also ran over.In fact, in this situation, they have no direction at all. Although they are not running around like a generation ago, only Lin Feng can know how to go to leave this place as quickly as possible.

The biggest test for them is probably the fire around them and the things that fell from it. In addition to being tired and out of breath, they also feel that it is getting more and more difficult to breathe. The oxygen in the air has been consumed almost, if they continue to consume like this and can't find a way to leave, then they are afraid that they will be suffocated to death soon.

After running forward, they saw the big pit again. Ye Feng scolded Lin Feng for going the wrong way, why did he come back again?
Lin Feng didn't talk nonsense with him at all, and jumped directly from the edge of the pit. When the others came closer, they realized that this was not the big pit they encountered before, this one was slightly smaller, and there was no burning material in it. Lin Feng came here because he wanted to avoid the fire above in this way. The temperature was getting higher and higher, and the air was getting thinner. They couldn't care less and jumped down.

After going down, they realized that the space here was very narrow.Many things are still running, the sound of iron chains and winches is very regular, Lin Feng is crawling around like a monkey inside, it is difficult for others to keep up, but the temperature here is somewhat lower than above , at least not so baked, but the temperature of many mechanism parts is very high, probably because it is too close to the top.

"Slow down..." Si Xuanyi greeted Lin Feng from behind. If this went on, Lin Feng would soon disappear, and they couldn't keep up.

"Don't worry..." Lin Feng replied without thinking, and continued to keep his speed forward.

The four of them can only drill forward little by little in this small space, and they have to avoid the part that is running. If they are not careful, they may be stirred into it. The degree of danger is definitely no less than that of falling objects, but Here you don’t have to worry about things falling from your head anymore, but the problem is that they can’t speed up at all, and don’t even think about leaving here in a hurry. Still quite satisfied.

"I found it, come quickly..." Lin Feng suddenly shouted in front of him. The few people didn't know what he found, but they still rushed over at a faster speed. It was not easy to drill around in these places. They didn't find Lin Feng until they got there. Crouching in a narrow passage.

"What did you find?" Li Siming didn't understand what he meant.

"This is a passageway for building a mechanism, or a maintenance passageway. Do you think such a large mechanism can be repaired in one go? So this passageway was left for final inspection during construction." Lin Feng saw that they had all arrived. He turned around and walked in, "Whether we can be taken out here or not, at least we can hide for a while."

"Should..." The others were speechless after hearing these two words, but judging from their current situation, it was better to grope here than to be roasted and smashed by things.

The passage here is very narrow, and you can only walk in it with your waist bent. The two of them have to turn sideways when passing by, otherwise they will not be able to pass at all. Walking here is quite tiring.

On both sides of the passage are organs, iron locks and winches that are within reach, and many of them are still in operation. The strange thing is that the noise here is not very loud. I really don't know what power these things are running on.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and if there was any movement, the dust would fly up. The air was full of smoke and dust, which choked them and coughed.

"Who still has water?" Ye Feng asked while coughing, he had already drank all the water.

"I still have a little, about one mouthful per person." Si Xuanyi handed him his pot.

"I still have half a pot." Li Siming said.

"Save your drink, we don't know when we will be able to go out." Lin Feng reminded them.

Ye Feng only took a sip and returned the kettle to Si Xuanyi. It was impossible to find water in this kind of place. If they couldn't get out in a short time, they should save some water.

"If I knew this place, I wouldn't have to take risks outside." Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, the temperature here is indeed much lower than outside, so you don't have to worry about being hit by something.

"Do you think it's safe here?" Lin Feng said while walking in front, "Although we can avoid the troubles above, where will this passage take us? Is it the center of the mechanism? Usually this This kind of place will be sealed after the construction is completed, so we can only take refuge here temporarily, but our situation is not optimistic."

"That is to say, we may not know where we will go, and we may even end up in a dead end." Li Siming thought for a while and continued, "It doesn't matter anyway, we have reached a desperate situation, and it would be nice to have such a place to take a breath. "

"You can think of anything..." Si Xuanyi shook his head. In fact, he also felt that Li Siming was right. If he was not optimistic now, he would just die. Anyway, they were already in a desperate situation and wanted to get out But quite difficult.

"There's nothing you can't think about... If you're lucky enough to get out alive, it's your life." Li Siming said very calmly.

"The situation seems to be a little bit bad..." Lin Feng looked at the organs in operation and said, "What are these organs used to drive? Although there are many organs above, they don't need such a large scale. "

"Are you still in the mood to care about this? Find your way and leave quickly." Si Xuanyi didn't care about these things at all.

Lin Feng looked at the mechanism carefully, and finally shook his head and gave up. There was too little information for reference, and they could only see part of the mechanism, and it was impossible to drill deeper to see it, so they could only follow the passage Walking straight ahead, so there is no way to judge what this is.

After walking forward for 20 minutes, everyone was so tired that their backs ached. In this kind of place, they couldn't stand up or squat down, and they had to walk forward.

"I can't take it anymore..." Ye Feng's tired legs went limp.

"Stay where you are and rest." Si Xuanyi was indeed very tired, he really didn't want to take a step now.

Lin Feng looked back at them and opened their mouths, but in the end they didn't say anything. It was obvious that he didn't want to rest here, but seeing the state of the others, he couldn't say anything more.

"How long do you think this passage is?" Li Siming sat on the ground, looked at the narrow passage and asked Lin Feng.

"I don't know..." Lin Feng shook his head, "It depends on how big the mechanism is. Generally, there is more than one such passage, and it all depends on the complexity of the mechanism."

Si Xuanyi took out some food and shared it with everyone. In fact, they were just overtired. Although they were a little hungry now, they really didn't even have the energy to eat.

"I just want to sleep now..." Li Siming waved his hand, he doesn't want to eat now.

"Let's eat something first...Even if we talk, we have to be full first. Although we don't have enough food for a full meal now, eating a little bit will help our physical recovery." Si Xuanyi said.

"The situation is not clear now, and when we can go out is also unknown, so I suggest that both water and food should be controlled, and we have to make long-term plans." Lin Feng said, "So far, we haven't seen a fork in the road. , if we really can’t find the end, we have to go back, I hope the fire above has been extinguished, and everything that should have fallen has fallen.”

"Has the situation really gotten this bad?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"It's probably worse than I expected." Lin Feng said, "I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong here, I can't stay here for too long, hurry up and eat, and leave as soon as possible."

"It's all here, what's the danger?" Li Siming really didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to use morphine, and he was really afraid that he would die of overexcitement after using it.

"I can't explain clearly, but..." Lin Feng stopped suddenly and listened attentively, "There seems to be some movement behind, no matter what is coming, in such a narrow place, we may find it difficult to deal with it, let's go quickly."

"Is there something here?" Si Xuanyi immediately stood up, the space here is small, and they don't have any weapons to use, it's better to leave as soon as possible. When they really faced the unknown, they still decided to stay away from possible potential threats. After all, there was more than one leaked place. Since they could come down, other things might come down to avoid the fire and the things that fell from it, including those Mummies, and possibly little devils, after all, there are a lot of devils, so the possibility of surviving is still quite high. If they really encounter this kind of place, it would be a lose-lose ending at best.

Walking through the narrow passage is very laborious. They can only move forward as fast as possible. In fact, they move forward little by little. …
