Chapter 1125: Walking in the Mud
A whole day has passed since the first group went down, and I hope we are not too late, but those who have lost contact are just lost in the ancient village at the bottom of the lake.
It doesn't feel very good to walk with a gas mask, because all the facial features are wrapped in it, so except for the sound of our own breathing, we can't hear the outside world very clearly, and the three of us can only communicate with each other by eyes and gestures.
Fortunately, the three of us still have a tacit understanding, so there is no problem with basic communication. However, walking in an environment where we can't see everything around us clearly, and we can't hear anything except the sound of our own breathing, the fear in our hearts will be infinitely magnified, and even those of us who are accustomed to seeing evil things will inevitably feel a little uneasy in our hearts.
At this time, I looked at Ding Yi and Uncle Li, and found that they all looked solemn, and it seemed that I was the only one who was worried...... In fact, we have come this way, and it is not because I am lucky that I have survived with my level of five scum, but because they have always been by my side......
In order to prevent everyone from getting separated in the fog, Ding Yi and Uncle Li kept me in the middle, because no matter who they were, it was okay for the two of them to be alone, and I ...... It's almost over.
Especially before I came in just now, Ding Yi had not tied one end of the rope to my wrist, and he repeatedly told me that once the three of us were separated, I would immediately pull the rope and go back.
At that time, I saw that there were a lot of people around, so I was a little embarrassed on my face, so I said no, but Ding Yi didn't allow me to refute, but tied the rope for me by himself.
Actually, I wanted to tell him that the reason why I dared to go into this strange fog was not because of this rope tied to my hand...... If he and Uncle Li are not by my side, how reliable can this rope be?
Before we came in, we did a lot of calculations, but we didn't calculate that the road under our feet was so difficult, and when we got down, the mud at the bottom of the lake was almost up to my ankles, and I had already lost my shoes twice after walking for a while.
Ding Yi and I are fine, after all, we are still young, but Uncle Li is tired, I saw him pull out one step at a time, and he was already sweating profusely after a while. If it weren't for the weirdness of the bottom of the lake, I'd have the heart to let him go back along the rope.
It stands to reason that the bottom of this lake is so difficult to walk, and the two groups of people who came down before should have taken one step at a time like us! But since we came down, Ding Yi has been looking for traces of those people on the ground, but the strange thing is that there is no trace of those people on the mud......
Now don't say it's Uncle Li, even I am out of breath when I leave, so I grabbed Ding Yi and gestured to him and said, "Hugh...... Rest for a while! I can't walk. ”
Ding Yi's ear power was very good, and he immediately knew what I meant, so he quickly glanced around, then held Uncle Li with one hand, dragged me with the other, and said to us loudly, "Okay, there is a stone in front, let's go over and rest for a while." ”
Finally walked to the side of the big rock, Uncle Li and I were tired and sat on it, the rapid breathing made me feel a little lack of oxygen in the brain, it seems that this gas mask is still a little flawed in the design, even Ding Yi, who has always been calm, is a little short of breath at this time.
At this time, I saw that he suddenly took off the gas mask, and then gasped for breath, I saw it and quickly asked him to put the gas mask back, in case there is any poisonous gas in this fog, it will be terrible!!
But Ding Yi said to us calmly, "It's okay, I'll try the poison for you first...... I don't feel like there's anything harmful about the fog here. After that, he closed his eyes and sniffed the air carefully, and said, "There is nothing but the smell of dampness and mud...... Nothing else, I didn't even smell the rot of the corpse. ”
As soon as I heard Ding Yi say this, I immediately couldn't wait to take off the gas mask on my head, only Uncle Li, the old fox, waited for a while, and when we both were fine, I took off the gas mask with confidence.
Ding Yi raised his hand at this time and glanced at the time, then frowned and said, "My watch stopped." ”
When I heard this, I looked at myself and found that I had stopped...... And it must have stopped shortly after we came down, because I had looked at the time before we went into the fog, and it was exactly 11:20, but now the hands of the watch stopped at 11:22.
Uncle Li also took out his compass to check at this time, and found that the pointer on it was rotating rapidly, although it did not stop, but it was obviously not normal...... The three of us looked at each other helplessly, it seems that this time the matter is quite tricky!
I slowed down on the stone for a while, and then I smoothed my breath and said, "It seems that the villagers who were drowned in the flood back then were quite angry!
When Uncle Li heard this, he said with a solemn face, "Things here will not be as simple as Director Sun said, remember, the history that can be recorded by future generations has been photoshopped." ”
I laughed and said, "Yo, do you know what a PS is?
When Uncle Li heard this, he rolled his eyes at me and said, "Stinky boy, I know everything you know, but you don't necessarily know what I know!!"
"Yes, yes, you've eaten more salt than I've ever eaten!" I said with a grin.
"It's good to know......"
After a few idle words with Uncle Li, it immediately offset the tension in my heart, but I don't know why, I haven't felt a single corpse since I came in, looking at the previous photos, there are not 100 but 50 corpses in this vicinity, but why is the air here so clean?
As soon as Ding saw that I had been frowning and looking around, he asked me if I had felt something? I shook my head a little blankly and said, "It stands to reason that judging from the mathematics of the corpse in the photo, I should have felt the existence of the corpse a long time ago! But as you said, there seems to be nothing here but dampness and silt." ”
When Uncle Li heard this, he said to us in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it is estimated that it will not be as peaceful as here when you walk near the ancient village in a while." ”
In the end, we saw that it was not possible to go on like this, so we took off our shoes from our feet and walked barefoot in the mud, which was much easier than before......
Luckily, there weren't any outsiders here, otherwise the three of us would have looked funny at the time! Each of us had a gas mask pinned to his waist, and two mud-covered shoes hanging around his neck, one deep and one shallow, walking in the mud.
