Chapter 419: Escape
Hum, the knife light reappears.
Shangguan slashed forward with all his might, and the murals carved with abstract figures and various mysterious patterns like ghost paintings cracked through them.
A brand-new passage appeared in front of them, and everyone's eyes showed a desire for life.
"Hurry up and get in. This time, there was no need for Gao Shan to give another order, Shangguan immediately waved his hand and let his subordinates rush in.
Everyone rushed into the new corridor, and although it was pitch black inside, at least there was no roaring beast roar and no dangerous breath.
Gao Shan stayed last, and seeing that the black-armored earth beast was about to catch up, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped it above his head as he scurried into the road.
Both palms slapped heavily on the raised sharp stones above his head, and the stone cave about 2 meters high shook violently and rumbled......
A crack appeared above the cavern, and then it collapsed violently, and the black-armored ground beast slammed headlong into the scattered stones.
Dust and smoke billowed out, and the top of the stone cave that had just been split by Shangguan completely collapsed, and all the black-armored earth beasts were blocked out.
"Whew, snort......" Heavy breathing sounded in the dark stone cave, and Takayama looked like a marathon runner at the moment.
Covered in sweat, if anyone could see clearly, they would find that his body was shaking constantly, and his face was abnormally waxy.
Killing 3 Black-Armored Ground Beasts earlier and blocking the attacks of other Black Armored Earth Beasts was not as easy as it seemed.
Every time he had to use all his strength, the consumption of true qi was like a collapsed dam, pouring out without leaving any room.
"It's okay!" a strong arm held his limp body.
"It's okay, let's go, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold them out here. Smiling in the direction from which the voice came, Takayama wished that the collapsed stone behind him would support him a little longer.
Holding the mountain, Shangguan let the other soldiers explore the path in front, while he made sure that the black-armored earth beast would not catch up.
Groping their way through the darkened stone tunnels, all the flashlights they were carrying were lost in the previous battle, making them extremely slow.
The only good news is that I haven't heard any movement behind me so far.
The cave was a little damp, and the walls on both sides felt wet, like butter, and like some kind of greasy mixture, like the intestines of some kind of creature.
"Major, there seems to be light ahead!" said a soldier who was scouting his way ahead.
Shangguan squinted and looked forward, and sure enough, he found a faint light that was about to disappear, and the team accelerated forward.
The bright light became clearer and clearer, and several people couldn't help but get excited, and when they rushed out of the bright light, several people who had survived the catastrophe couldn't help but cheer.
It's a new underground space, with no trace of the presence of earth beasts, and when you look up, you can see the sunlight shining down through the rift above.
It was these sunshines that attracted them before!
"This fresh air... We're alive, haha!" a soldier raised his arms excitedly.
"Yes, we are alive. Shangguan Ergou was equally excited.
It's just that when he looked around, he suddenly saw that the sergeant was nowhere to be seen, and no one saw when he was gone.
Thinking of the injuries he had sustained when he walked into the cave, the joy of escaping turned into a heavy silence, and everyone knew what he would go through.
In the dark stone passage, no one found him sliding on the ground against the wall, silently waiting to die.
Even his comrades around him didn't notice his disappearance, and he silently accepted his death, because he knew very well how high the risk was of taking him and escaping.
"Now how do we go up?" After half a day's rest, the situation in the mountains was better.
At least he no longer looks sick, like he is going to hang up in the next second.
He was equally saddened by the sergeant's 'disappearance', but now the first thing to think about was how to continue living for the living.
"Let's see if we can get to the ground. Shangguan said to his subordinates.
A soldier pulls out his walkie-talkie and tries to make contact with the surface, and happily he succeeds.
After 15 minutes, the sound of a propeller was heard above.
Soon the two ropes were lowered, and the time was short, and they didn't have a chance to build the lifting platform, the most important thing was to bring the people up.
Since the team suddenly cut off communication four hours ago, the surface has been in chaos, and a new team has been sent down, but it has quickly encountered good results.
The tunnel that I first discovered seemed to be filled with earth beasts again.
These damn monsters, I don't know where they came from, they seem to be able to do anything underground.
Perhaps the entire underground has been built up by them to create a vast transportation network, only to be covered up in some way, and only to be 'opened' when needed. ’
The moment he was caught on the surface by the rope, Takayama felt his brain flutter, as if something was about to break free from his body.
However, this feeling came and went as quickly as it came, and the six surviving people were sent to the temporary position hospital for examination and treatment.
Although they were lucky enough to escape, everyone had injuries large and small, as well as a sense of mental tension and oppression.
The most important thing is fatigue, several soldiers have just been taken to the hospital, lying on some awkward stretchers and falling asleep.
Takayama rested his head on the soft cotton cushion, his eyelids struggling to lift, and his consciousness fell into complete darkness when he saw someone open the curtain and walk in.
…………
"Everybody back away... Perform a final check. ”
"Ready to go. ”
"Over there, drive away, back off, back ......"
"Detonate countdown, 5, 4 ......"
A hazy sound echoed in his ears, and with a loud 'boom' accompanied by a violent vibration, Takayama woke up from his sleep.
"What's going on?" asked a nurse beside him, looking at the instrument beside him and the infusion tube in his hand.
His voice was hoarse and his head was a little groggy, but it didn't interfere with his normal thinking.
"You're awake... The military is blasting to blast the rifts you dug up and build a crafting bench and a new stronghold, presumably. ”
The nurse was not aware of the military's movements, but had come to this conclusion by a combination of information that had been heard occasionally from the soldiers.
"Thanks, can I get the needle out now? I think I'm fine. Gao Shan ripped off the patch on his body and sat up with his hands propped up.
"Of course. The nurse looked at him with admiration and said as she pulled out the needle, "I know what you're doing, Professor, you're really amazing." ”
"I'm just trying to survive, and if you're here and have the ability, you'll do the same. "Takayama doesn't think he's great, and what he's doing isn't great.
Many died in front of him, as well as the warriors who used their bodies to make a way for them.
If there really are great people, then they are truly great.
