But although these strange laughter is gone, the "sequelae" it brought us before is still there, and the most obvious symptom is that I feel like something is blocked in my ears, and I always have a hazy illusion when I hear something.
This undoubtedly greatly reduced our sense of hearing, and I tried to use the energy in my body to get rid of these unexplained sensations, but unfortunately it didn't work, because I found that I couldn't use any energy at all, not even the miniature energy waves released by Yabu and Zaka before......
Similarly, Yabu and Zaka have completely lost their use of energy now, but this does not seem to be exactly the same as the situation where cold inhibits psionic energy, because in cold weather, the physical gain brought by our psionic energy is also reduced, but now this is not the case, and even I feel that while the energy is suppressed, the advantage of our own physique is more obvious than before.
In order to try not to let the hearing loss affect my judgment, I can only compensate for the lack of hearing with more frequent glances.
Yabu and Zaka have now activated the subway, and although the sound of the start is actually small, it sounds very strange in this infinite silence.
......
I can't talk about being nervous now, but I feel very depressed, because none of the three of us dare to make too much noise right now, after all, there is no guarantee that the sound will not cause other trouble in this situation.
After a few minutes of silence, the acceleration of the subway had reached a critical value, and just when I thought the subway would go smoothly, I suddenly heard a burst of singing from the next car, the second car.
I was startled and thought that someone had been lurking there all along, because we didn't check the whole car one by one due to the time constraints when we got on the train.
Yabu and Zaka were also taken aback, so much so that the subway trembled a little under the improper operation.
I hurriedly calmed the two of them down, and I carefully opened the car door and began to walk back......
"Babbling ......"
As soon as the door opens, the sound becomes clearer and more creepy!
Because it's obviously the fucking singing voice of the moon spirit!
I will never forget the strange spell that summoned the bhikshu bird in my life.
I hurriedly looked around, but I didn't see any moon spirits, not even any shadows of activity.
This subway car is no different from a train car, and the seats are all two rows on the side, and you can see the whole car at a glance from one end of the car.
Is it still in the next carriage?
However, I soon noticed that the sound seemed to be coming from diagonally above, and when I looked over there, I realized that the strange song of the moon spirit was actually coming from several public loudspeakers diagonally above......
Damn it......
This is not a good thing, because although it is certain that the Moon Spirit herself is gone, the fact that she can transmit the sound to the subway remotely in this way means that she already knows our movement and location!
The song lasted less than half a minute, and then I heard her start talking directly, and it was me.
"Xiao Chen, have you ever played cat and mouse?" asked Yue Ling.
I frowned, and my first reaction to hearing this was that the moon spirit was comparing me to a mouse, and she was the cat that was playing with me.
But then the moon spirit continued, "There is a mouse waiting for you to catch now, and if you can find this mouse, then you may still have hope of life today." โ
"Who is it?" I asked directly into the speaker.
"Of course it's Zhao Youkuang. Yue Ling said.
"Where is she?" I asked again.
"The fun of the game of cat and mouse is the process of catching, if I tell you the location, where does the fun come from?" Moon Spirit's tone began to get softer and softer, and then it disappeared completely, and no matter how much I asked, there was no sound at all.
But to my surprise, as soon as her voice disappeared, I was surprised to find that the feeling of being clogged in my ears disappeared immediately.
It means that now except for the complete suppression of energy, everything else is no different from normal times.
I saw that there was nothing else unusual here, so I quickly returned to the front of the car, Yabu and Zaka also heard the conversation between Yueling and me just now, Yabu told me not to pay attention to Yueling's verbal bewitchment, because she was obviously trying to separate me from Zhao Youkuang, and not let me unite with the wanderer.
I wondered if it was possible, but if I took out the character of the moon spirit alone...... It seemed a little reluctant, because it didn't look like the Moon Spirit's style of acting.
Besides, how did the Moon Spirit use to play the sound through the loudspeaker? Could it be that she herself was hiding near the starting point platform?
But now there is no longer so much to manage, the subway is moving very fast, and the uncomfortable feeling in our ears is now gone, so the rest of the road is surprisingly smooth, and after more than ten minutes, Yabu told me that I was about to get close to the place where I got off.
Of course, the point where we got off the bus was not the end, but the passage I mentioned earlier that could turn to the central headquarters of the Qinhuai Mountains, and we had to walk next.
Yabu's driving skills are exaggerated, not only did he maintain the stability of the road, but he didn't even feel the slightest tremor when he stopped, and until I got out of the car, I felt that the whole "journey" was a little confused.
Xhaka said that if it goes well, we can even go back the way we came, and then we can just go to the back of the train and restart the subway.
I nodded, and began to lead the way.
The reason why I can lead the way now is because there is actually only one path in front of us, and the frescoes can be seen on the walls from time to time.
So...... I can actually deduce the time of their depiction from the mural patterns here, because judging from the development of this subway passage, it is clear that it is also a public welfare project before the catastrophe, which means that this place was not built by the voodoo itself, but was only used after the catastrophe.
Therefore, the formation time of this mural pattern must have occurred after the cataclysm, so it can be further inferred that the mural patterns in other locations in the previous area were also generated after the cataclysm.
As far as I know, the wanderers did not actually go to Dongkou Province at first, and their initial range of activities was basically distributed in South China and North China, as well as our Taoyuan Island and other small islands in the vicinity.
The mass migration of the wanderers to Dongkou Province was about half a year ago, and it has been almost a year and a half since the cataclysm, which means that for a year, the voodoo capital has taken control of its use.
So here's the problem...... How did the poorly equipped wanderers from afar manage to take over the magpie's nest, and how could they take such a large territory from voodoo?
What's more, judging from my previous contact with the wanderers of Life II, they have not encountered any form of resistance since they came to Dongkou Province, and they do not even know about voodoo.
This seems to indicate that the voodoo had left before the arrival of the wanderers, could it be because the voodoo were afraid of the loiterer group? This also does not make sense, because if they were afraid before, why did they now take the initiative to attack Dongkou Province?
It feels like it's a complete paradox, unless there's something latent I haven't discovered yet!
The mural patterns here are still a combination of text and narrative paintings, and I can almost memorize these murals now, plus the murals here don't seem to be very well preserved, and there are traces of falling off in many places, so I simply ignored them later.
The passage we were traveling through was probably part of the same branch of the previous subway system, and because the excavation was so good that I could even see a lot of space reserved for facilities, including various checkpoints and outposts.
There were still no living people in sight, but we did find some fragmentary footprints on the ground, which was a significant discovery, because the footprints were formed in a very short time, and combined with the steaming leftovers we saw on the previous road, I have reason to believe that these footprints will not be left for long.
Even...... Just around?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly put my ears to the ground and listened carefully, but there was still dead silence around me.
"Let's go. Yabu then urged: "It's so quiet here, if there is any danger, I believe we can detect it in advance." โ
I nodded, and began to move on.
The passage was not very long, probably only a few hundred meters, and we soon came to the end.
So far, everything we have passed, including the subway tracks, has been covered with lights, so you can imagine how abundant the power supply here is, and the Qinhuai Mountains have been able to maintain a stable power supply after such a heavy blow, which means that the entire power supply system is probably not in the mountains at all, but is likely to be at the two exits in the north and west of the subway.
However, the supply of light came to an abrupt end at the end of the passage, and further on it was completely pitch black.
I looked back and frowned and asked where Yabu was in front of me, and if it was an exit, it should have daylight.
Yabu also looked puzzled, she squinted her eyes and looked ahead for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the original exit had collapsed.
You must know that our current position should have reached the vicinity of the headquarters, and so far, the voodoo offensive has not reached this place at all, at most, some sporadic semi-infected people have appeared, and they can still collapse the exit here?
But now that we're here, there's no going back, so I took a quick few steps into the darkness ahead, and began to try to get used to the darkness so that my night vision could be restored quickly.
In the process of recovery, I am also deliberately releasing energy to perceive, but unfortunately it still doesn't work, and I feel a little drumming in my heart, because if I lose the contact method of lucid dreaming, then it seems that it will be a lot more troublesome for me to tie Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing, but at least I can rely on Yabu and Zaka to try my luck at a specific point, but what should Wen Yun, Duan Xiaoxiao and Chenxi's team do?
They are now left to fend for themselves......
At this time, I have completely entered the dark area just now, and found that the air here is obviously filled with a faint earthy smell, which is clearly the smell of dust stirred up after the heavy object lands, at this time my eyes finally gradually adapted to the environment here, and my night vision ability has also quickly adjusted.
Looking around, I found that this place should have been similar to the "waiting room" before, I even saw a lot of row of seats, and there were landmarks on the ground indicating the location of the exit, but I followed this direction only to find a large pile of collapsed gravel and dirt, which was eighty percent of the original exit!
I called Jab and Zaka to check it out, and they said that they would be able to get back to the surface if they dug up like that now, but just as I was about to do it, I found a tin compartment in the dirt and rocks.
At first, I thought it was some discarded subway car that had been discarded here, but I soon realized that the car was obviously much smaller than a normal subway car, and finally Yabu said that it was clearly a cable car!
Wipe!
I was worried about that, but Yabu said it couldn't be, because the cable car must be much slower than the subway, and even if they had a smooth ride, it would have been at least half the time behind us, and maybe they were still on the road.
So where did this cable car come from?
Soon I thought about Zhao Youkuang's fall from the cable car before, and wondered if this was one of those cable cars?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out my mountain knife and began to remove the gravel and clods near the iron sheet of the cable car, and then I smelled a faint smell of blood coming from inside, and then a corpse was revealed.
This is a male corpse, and I have seen this guy, when we were surrounded by Zhao Youkuang on the suspension platform, this guy was one of them, and she must have been one of the people who fled with Zhao Youkuang directly from the headquarters by cable car.
In fact, if it was simply a death caused by a cable car fall, this is normal after all, but when I dragged the body out, I was surprised to find that there was a wound in his heart.
Jabu muttered behind me, "This man seems to have been stabbed to death......"
