Chapter 233: Resurrection
It was dark early in the forest, and it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the clearing seemed a little dark.
Four bonfires soon burned on the side of the transporter, in the cleared space, and a group of people divided into four piles, each sitting in front of the campfire chatting and talking, occasionally teasing the flying Trace, but also happy, not like some kind of expedition, but more like young students out camping.
However, compared to those students who regarded the investigation as fun, Fang Ruwei was also more professional, sitting in front of the campfire, studying the video of Rob and Gao Yun coming down to the bottom of the pit, and bringing it with them.
At this time, this bonfire was surrounded by people who were familiar with Fang Ruwei, and Ying Ling and the others were naturally at the other bonfire, continuing to do their own security work.
In fact, when Fang Ruwei was studying the video at the bottom of the pit, Shen Yiyi, Zhong Qinghui and some other people who had seen the image before couldn't stand the picture inside, and ran to other bonfires, and in the end, almost only Mo Zhaoxue and Fang Ruwei were still in front of a bonfire, the former humming an unknown tune in his mouth, while roasting a bunch of mushrooms with a branch.
This is what Rob taught her, saying that it is roasted, and it is delicious with a little salt, and Mo Zhaoxue learned to make it. The latter, on the other hand, is worthy of being a researcher, and even if he has seen it once, he still has the courage to watch it a second time.
I saw that on the holographic projection projected by the camera, the camera followed the lights to shoot the surrounding scene. It didn't take long for Rob and Gao Yun to reach the bottom of the pit, as I said before, the cult base threw all kinds of garbage corpses to the bottom of the pit for convenience.
When Rob and Gao Yun were about to approach the bottom of the pit, the protective clothing turned on with a red light, and when the two of them were hung two or three meters from the bottom of the pit, the scene at the bottom of the pit made most people want to vomit when they looked at it.
Because the bottom of the pit has been covered with a black-green, bubbling viscous liquid, you can see all kinds of highly decaying and decaying human tissues, either immersed or floating on the surface.
And even in such a harsh, poisonous environment, there are still some snake-like or fish-like creatures that swim in the viscous liquid, occasionally scratching their surfaces, revealing a pair of glowing red eyes.
After noticing that Gao Yun and Rob came down, they seemed to treat them as food, jumped up and wanted to bite them, but fortunately, although the two of them couldn't dodge and were bitten, the protective clothing provided by Shen Yiyi was powerful, and they were not bitten through, so the two of them had a false alarm, but they no longer dared to go lower, and could only check at a height of four or five meters.
In addition to the creatures in the viscous liquid on the ground, there are also some strange plants growing on the surrounding stone walls, blinking vines, and small grass with two fangs, all of which look very dangerous.
However, that's all, Gao Yun and Rob relied on amazing perseverance, stayed at the bottom of the pit for about an hour, walked around the bottom of a huge pit, and saw a lot of strange animals and plants living in this dark place, but they just didn't see the many green lights that Master Bannad said, and even phosphorus fire could not be formed because of the humid air at the bottom of the pit.
In this way, it is worth pondering what the green point of light that Master Bannard saw before the airship left. Fang Ruwei studied the video over and over again, and when Rob and Jia Fei returned from hunting, the prey was all dealt with, and when it was roasted on the fire, she was still watching it.
Then Zhong Qinghui couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, handed Fang Ruwei a skewer of fragrant meat skewers and said, "Ruwei, don't watch it, you can watch such a disgusting video so many times!
"It's okay, I'll get used to it after watching too much. Fang Ruwei took the meat skewer and ate it with a smile, looking like she didn't feel like she couldn't eat it at all.
"Then don't look at it so many times!" Zhong Qinghui sat down next to Fang Ruwei and said, "I've seen too much and waited to sleep and dream!"
"It's not so exaggerated!" Fang Ru smiled: "When I used to do research with my teacher, I stayed with those dissected demon beasts all day long, and I still slept peacefully when I went back!"
She was talking, but she also turned off the screen, after all, it is one thing to watch it without affecting her appetite, and it is another thing to eat while watching.
Listening to Fang Ruwei's words, Zhong Qinghui was speechless for a while, and could only say: "...... Your heart is really big!" But soon, he became interested again and asked Fang Ruwei what research he often followed the teacher to do.
"That's a lot, occasionally plant...... Some plants are so strange that when you see them, you wonder if you've seen an alien plant!"
Speaking of her profession, Fang Ruwei suddenly became energetic, and introduced her research materials to Zhong Qinghui: "The most troublesome thing is animal research, you have to dissect it yourself, and you have to separate some tissues, and the whole process is bloody ......."
"Wow, are you going to have nightmares?"
"I did it at first! I did it every day, and the nightmares I had were still ......."
Before you know it, the night has completely covered the sky, and in the open campsite, the campfire is bright, and the people gathered around are chatting and laughing, but they are very happy.
This continued until night, when everyone had fallen asleep in their tents, and the surroundings became quiet, except for the flickering light of the fire and the occasional crackling of burning wood, except for the ubiquitous, unknown chirping of insects.
After the night, the genius was bright, and the people of the delegation woke up from their sleep one by one, and before they left the tent, they smelled a smell of barbecue, which made people can't wait to get out of the tent and want to have a feast.
From the day before yesterday to today, it is the third day that the expedition team has entered the ruins forest.
After washing and eating breakfast as usual, and counting the number of people, I packed up my things and went on the road again.
Originally, there were twenty-seven people in the entire expedition group, but now there were four people joining Luo Bu and Gangdao Tieshuhua Yanshen, and it suddenly increased to thirty-one people.
With so many people taking action, it is already quite large-scale, but fortunately, the four newly added people are not procrastinators, especially the three people of Gangdao Tieshuhua and Rock Ash, all of whom are still old fritters of the hunter group, and they act very quickly, so soon the open space will be empty, leaving only a few remaining bonfires, which are still smoking in place.
There was silence for a moment, and suddenly four figures fell from the opposite branch, and then a few jumps, and these four people wearing leather clothes with some colored stripes on their bodies came to the edge of the pit.
The four of them looked down, only to see that it was pitch black below, and one of them said, "This group of people stayed here for almost a day and a night last night, and they sent two people down, it seems that they are looking for something." ”
"Did you find that?" asked another.
"I don't know. ”
The first person on the far left to speak said with some hesitation: "I know a few of them, like Gao Yun of the Shuanglong Martial Arts Pavilion, the heroic spirit of the Shining Spirit Society, and the soldiers of the Iron Flow of Soldiers, all of them, I don't dare to get too close, I only dare to look at it from a distance for a long time." ”
“…… And there is also a noble and elegant woman in the crowd, who is still wearing a long skirt and high heels in this kind of place, and she looks like a big person. It's impossible for someone like them to spend half a day around a big pit where there's nothing, right?"
"Even so...... one of the people without eyebrows pouted and said, "Even if these celebrities you mentioned are here, but they have been doing it for a long time, what good things are there, I'm afraid they have all taken them, right?"
"That maybe. A man with a dagger at his waist and leather armor said, "They have only gone down for two people, what if there is anything missing? Judging from this hole, the area below should not be small, right?"
"And what's going to be down there?" said the first speaker with a probe to the bottom of the pit, speaking something that seemed to be mumbling to himself as well as asking someone else.
"Don't care what there is, go down and have a look?" said the man with a dagger in his waist, "I've brought everything here, it's impossible to do nothing, just go back?"
"Good!"
The four of them obviously came prepared, each carrying a large bag on their backs, and when the mountain and plate that received the order answered, they put down the bags on their backs, opened them, and took out the contents one by one and placed them on the ground.
Iron picks, ropes, head-mounted searchlights, protective clothing...... Posing out one by one, it looks far more professional than what Fang Ruwei provides. Once the things were arranged, the mountain and the plate began to equip themselves.
The two of them first put on a jumpsuit, which had various hooks and bags on which to hang tools. When the two of them were equipping, the other two were not idle, putting down the bag on their backs, and when they opened it, there were two large bundles of long rope inside.
"Is this rope long enough?" asked someone who kicked the rope that was on the ground.
"That should be enough. This bundle of rope is hundreds of meters long, and I don't believe that this big pit can be a kilometer deep!"
After the other person pulled one end of the rope to the woods not far away and tied it, he nodded and signaled, and the two of them began to grasp the rope and climb down, while the two people standing on the edge grabbed a rope and slowly lowered it.
Needless to say, the first half of the journey was basically all the way down quickly, until the end of the slope, after entering the pit of the black hole, the two turned on the searchlight above their heads, and continued to descend while observing the situation.
Along the way, just like Rob and Gao Yun, they did not encounter any danger, until they smelled the smell of the air, and Dashan and the plate opened the metal ring around their necks, a dim film of light, and covered the heads of the two to prevent them from being poisoned.
During this time, the ground and the people below also kept talking to confirm safety, and when the rope on the ground was still a third of the length left, the mountain and the plate finally reached the bottom of the pit, and the two of them also saw the scene that Rob and Gao Yun saw, and they screamed and cursed.
"Damn! It's disgusting down there!"
"A lot of corpses...... Damn, what the hell is this sticky?"
"The rope can't be put down!
"Did you see anything?"
"No! It's all metal pipes!"
The metal pipe mentioned here is naturally after the dismantling of the base, part of it is embedded in the soil, and the other part is suspended in the air, and it falls to the bottom of this pit.
The mountain and the plate cursed as they tried to move as much as they could, and soon stepped on a metal pipe that was two-thirds sunk in a viscous liquid, and standing on it was far more comfortable than being suspended in mid-air.
And at this moment, the creature that attacked Rob and Gao Yun in the viscous liquid also suddenly jumped out and attacked Dashan and the plate, the two of them were facing the other side at that time, and when they sensed the wind, it was too late to dodge, and finally Dashan's arm was bitten.
The two of them were not as good as Rob and Gao Yun, and the protective clothing they were wearing was not as good as what Shen Yiyi provided, and they were directly bitten by the sharp teeth, and when the two of them screamed in pain, they reacted, and pulled out the loach-like creature and threw it back into the viscous liquid, it was already too late.
After only a second or two, the two of them felt dizzy, stumbled on the metal pipe, and some of them lost their footing.
"Hey, hey, big mountain, plate, what's going on?"
The people above only heard the cry of pain, and then they did not react, and their hearts tightened, knowing that something must have happened.
The two people who remained on the ground glanced at each other, and at the same time pulled the rope hard, trying to pull the two people below up.
However, at this moment, bubbles suddenly began to bubble up in the viscous dark green liquid, and a black-dyed hand reached out of the bubble, grabbed the edge of the metal pipe, groped, and grabbed the ankle that was hanging from the mountain that was pulled up by the rope, and was soon gradually carried up by the rope pulled from above.
At this time, the people above didn't even notice it, only one of them suddenly felt that the weight he was pulling was a little heavier, but he didn't care.
Soon, the mountain and the plate were pulled to the edge of the big pit in the ground, and at this moment, the two people on the ground realized that not only the mountain and the plate were pulled up, but there was also a hand grabbing the ankle of the mountain and being pulled up together.
"What the hell is this? it stinks!" Before he could get closer, a foul smell wafted over.
However, even so, the two of them covered their noses, walked over, one by one, pulled the mountain and the plate by hand and clothes, and pulled them to the ground.
It was only at this time that the two of them found out that the mountain and the plate were dead, and although the light film on their heads was still working, their faces were dark, apparently from poisoning.
In this regard, the two of them don't feel much sadness, after all, they are mixed outside, life and death have long been downplayed, and if they really want to die, they will be sad once, so it is better to change careers as soon as possible.
After inspecting the mountain and the plate, the two of them cautiously approached the black object that had been clutching the ankle of the mountain and lying on the ground.
"Corpses?"
"Skeletons?"
The two of them approached cautiously, and they had already taken out their weapons in their hands, but at this moment, the two of them suddenly felt dizzy.
"Oops! This stink is poisonous!"
Just as the two of them were dizzy, the corpse suddenly began to move. It first let go of the hand that grabbed the ankle of the mountain, only the bones remained, and then slowly stood up from the ground, and at this time, the two of them were already unstable because of dizziness, half-kneeling on the ground, when the last trace of consciousness left, the two saw that there were only two holes left, but the eyes with green light appeared, and then they passed out.
Perhaps after soaking in the dark green viscous liquid for too long, the skeleton, which was still intact, was stained dark green.
It raised its head, a faint green light appeared in a pair of eyes that were only holes, first glanced around, then opened and closed its mouth, as if to say something, then withdrew its gaze, looked at the four people lying on the ground, bent down, grabbed the leg of the person closest to it, opened its mouth and gnawed down.
