Chapter 237: The Pit
“……”
Zhang Xiaowu was completely speechless, and he didn't have time to sigh, swept left and right, and found a building that might have escaped this terrifying black wall, and then ran away.
It was a refuge for travelers in the desert, a hut built of earth and stone. The region has a history of thousands of years of civilization, and before the upheaval, the country was also a tourist destination for the country's wealth and well-being. So even in the desert, there are still plenty of facilities to keep local residents and travelers safe.
It's just that this shelter is far away from Zhang Xiaowu, and it is exactly one kilometer away. Zhang Xiaowu ran wildly all the way, even using the strength to eat, and finally rushed in the moment before the black wall was close.
This is also the constitution of the Chosen One, if it is an ordinary person, even if he is given twice as much time, he will not be able to escape into the safe house, and he may not be able to enter it for the rest of his life. Because when the black wall roars past, the sound is violent and eerie like a moan in hell, as if it can tear apart people's bodies and souls.
What kind of sandstorm is this, it is obviously a terrifying demonic wind that can tear apart any life.
The demonic wind was furious, and when the sand particles it brought up hit the stone house, it crackled, and the sound was as loud as a bullet hitting the rock, and it could be heard clearly in the deafening sound of the demonic wind. It's a terrifying feeling, like in the middle of a downtown area, there's always a voice whispering in your ear, which is extremely eerie.
The sturdy shelter had already begun to shake, and after just over ten minutes, it was already crumbling. Fortunately, the demonic wind came and went quickly, and as soon as ten minutes passed, the sound outside became much quieter, and then it became unusually silent.
"Whew~"
Zhang Xiaowu took a deep breath, this is really not a place for people to stay, let alone outside, even in this stone house, they are not at peace, all shoes and poisonous snakes gather inside to avoid natural disasters, fortunately, they are trembling, and they have no intention of attacking Zhang Xiaowu. However, the door of the stone house had been buried in the sand, so he had to dig up the sand and climb out.
The sky outside was still clear, as if nothing had happened, but as long as you saw the crumbling walls outside the stone house, you would sigh at the horror of the power of nature.
However, this sandstorm came too strangely, and the power was ridiculously strong, although Zhang Xiaowu was not sure whether such strength had ever appeared in history, but he really had never even heard of it.
Zhang Xiaowu didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the original base, he had a hunch that this demonic wind-level sandstorm seemed to be generated from there.
Woo woo woo ~ The farther I went, the more I heard a whining sound in front of me, like a child's whimper, and when I got closer, it was even more like the hum of a sea of worms.
What made Zhang Xiaowu stop again was the big pit in front of him, and in the vaguely visible wreckage of some buildings, only the underground part and the foundation less than half a meter high remained, and the exposed steel frame inside had been rotten, as if it had been destroyed for hundreds of years.
But what stunned people was not the ruins, but a large pit in the middle of the ruins.
When I got closer, I saw that the pit was bottomless, and there was a dark brown mist bubbling out.
"What is this?" Zhang Xiaowu suddenly showed a strange expression.
He found that the fog was very familiar, and no matter how he looked at it, it looked like the bloody fog that permeated the bloody Jedi Island. Although the color is much darker, it feels like there are many impurities mixed in the blood, and those impurities are the substances in the black wind that appeared before.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he had a bad feeling in his heart that maybe this was the real source of the (Hell Gate) incident. After all, the current scene is too weird, I'm afraid that this situation has never happened on the entire planet, and this is not something that any country or organization can do. If this is really the kind of situation expected, then his brother, as well as his comrades who are also missing, may be less auspicious.
He stood on the edge of the pit and thought for a moment, deciding to search the surroundings anyway, and although there was little hope, he still hoped that there were survivors here. I had heard someone in the village mention before that the teams sent by the great powers had already arrived here, including the second team sent by Huaxia.
It's a pity that I searched all around, but I didn't find any signs of life. But a terrible conclusion was drawn. That is, the terrifying demonic wind that appeared before was blown out of this big pit. In fact, it should be the same power as an underground explosion, spewing out the demonic wind, just like a volcanic eruption, no less powerful than a nuclear bomb. With the power of such terror, there should not be any life left for two kilometers around. Even a person like him, who claims to be the strongest Chosen One in the plane, can't survive.
I couldn't find a clue, so I had to venture into the pit and explore. If he hadn't tried to find his brother, he wouldn't have ventured into this unknown pit of terror. This place doesn't look like a good place.
He took out his satellite phone and was ready to tell Linglong about the situation here, and it was best to get information support from the national satellite. It's a pity that the phone was like it had been baked in the microwave, and there was no response except sizzling.
"Electronic silence?" It's really like after a nuclear explosion.
Put away the phone and start walking down the relatively flat position. It didn't go far before I found that the pit had become extremely steep, like a cliff, and I couldn't walk at all, so I could only climb on the cliff and climb down little by little. And the further down, the stronger the power of the brown mist rising upward, not only that, there seems to be a poisonous substance in the mist, at first I didn't feel it, but after forty or fifty meters down, the content of toxins is already terrifying, almost equivalent to the first-level poisonous fog of Jedi Island.
First-level poison, in the eyes of players of the PUBG game, is really nothing, as long as there is enough medicine, you are not afraid to take a bath in it all the time. Even if there are no supplies, it is no problem to hold on for four or five minutes. But they may have forgotten one thing, which is reality, not a game. Ordinary people don't have a digital body, even tear gas can't stand it, let alone a real poison?
The pungent smell makes it difficult to breathe, compared to the nose, the most uncomfortable thing is the eyes, which are spicy and stinging, and the tears keep flowing out, and I dare not open my eyes at all. There is also a strong sense of vertigo, if it is an ordinary person, it will go into shock if it is absolutely impossible to hold on for a minute, lose the ability to move, and wait for death on the spot.
Zhang Xiaowu took out the gas mask from the iron ring that worked very well, but had not been equipped because it was too ugly, and put it on his face. Although there was still some burning sensation on his exposed skin, it was no longer much of a threat to him. After all, he has a strong recovery ability, and this poisonous fog can't even make him bleed.
Down, down, keep going down.
It is like an endless abyss with no end. It's already close to two kilometers, and the brown fog is already solid. If it weren't for the fact that his purple pupils had evolved, he would have stopped a long time ago, because his right eye could no longer see anything at all, not even the cliff in front of him. Only the left eye can still see some of the sights below.
