Chapter 23: Scrap Valley, Zhuang Zhou Box (2)

In the desert in the middle of the night, there is only an endless starry sky and a lonely crescent moon, without a trace of wind blowing. But just as we arrived at the edge of the Valley of Scrap Weapons and cautiously bent down to look, a gust of valley wind blowing from the bottom up swept coldly across my cheeks, like ten thousand cold arrows passing through, leaving scars on my face. The cold and low sound of the wind echoed through the pitch-black Valley of Waste, as if to warn those who approached it, that it could devour everything around it, like a black hole out of control.

The five of us, in addition to me, as well as Lao Xu, Mo Qingyan, Fu Hui and Gu Chengzi, after several days of discussion and preparation, decided to drive the spaceship overnight and quietly go to the Valley of Scrap Weapons. The Scrap Valley in front of him was a rift valley that stretched for dozens of kilometers, a dozen kilometers north of Lazy Town. Because Lazy Town produces a lot of mechanical waste every day, which cannot be recycled and cannot be accumulated in the town, they discharged this mechanical waste into this rift, hence the name of Waste Valley. Although the mechanical waste is treated before it is discharged, there are still many chemically corrosive radioactive residues on the waste, and over time, the waste valley has become a forbidden place that no one dares to set foot in.

After Mo Qingyan told Fu Yuan the news of Zhuang Zhoubox, Fu Yuan came over to question Gu Chengzi suspiciously, wanting to ask why, but Gu Chengzi insisted that he put this information in his head before leaving, and Zhuang Zhoubox must also be in the Waste Weapon Valley. Fu Rui was very suspicious of this, diligence wanted to leave important information, why not leave it to her, but to Gu Chengzi, who was in the lazy camp during the war? However, the doubts in their hearts did not delay Fu Rui and Mo Qingyan's footsteps, they felt that they could believe it and not believe it, so they organized a small team and decided to go to the Valley of Scrap Weapons. Originally, Lao Xu and I didn't have a chance to go, but because the matter of Zhuang Zhoubox was too important, and both of us were present that day, we took us with us.

After nightfall, our group boarded a small spaceship, the fuselage of which was coated with anti-detection materials and used a fuel that burned transparently, so that even if we flew in the middle of the night, we would not be noticed. We stopped when we reached the edge of the valley, and because the air currents in the Scrap Valley were too complex to drive the ship down, we had to use the older method of sliding down with a rope. Lao Xu was arranged to stay on it to guard the spaceship, so he parked the spacecraft in a relatively hidden place, pressed the button to enter the alert state, and the spaceship immediately became transparent, and only Lao Xu, who wore special glasses, could see it.

At this time, Fu Hui and Mo Qingyan were squatting on the edge of the valley, Fu Hui took out a few finger-sized steel balls from her pocket and threw them into the valley, and a three-dimensional panorama of the rift slowly appeared on the flat plate in Mo Qingyan's hand. In a short time, the entire shape of the Valley of Scrap Machines appeared before our eyes. At the same time, after some calculations, the map shows the most suitable route. Afterwards, Gu Chengzi took out a few ropes and distributed a set of special equipment to each of us: a transparent protective vest with a circular device in front, a pair of special shoes, and a pair of special gloves. In addition, Mo Qingyan also gave each of us a bracelet for us to wear.

Mo Qingyan said that these ropes are not ordinary ropes, and these equipment are not ordinary equipment, but are made of nano molecules, which can change the shape, such as this rope, which can become as hard as a steel rope or as soft as a hemp rope. At the same time, this kind of rope is more safe than people think, if your shoes touch it, it will extend two pedals on the rope body, which is convenient for people to stand, if you hold the rope tightly with your gloves, then your gloves will stick to the rope firmly until you land safely, then if you don't have gloves and no shoes, put on this special vest and wrap the rope around yourself twice, then it will be firmly bonded to the vest, wrapping people tightly around and preventing people from falling.

Gu Chengzi silently placed a few ropes neatly on the rock wall at the edge of the valley, and pressed the button on the rope device. The bottom of the rope immediately stretched out a few claws to grab the rock wall, and with a "snap", it was fiercely stuck on the rock wall, and immediately half of it was pierced into the ground, and at the same time a rope stretched out from the hole. I took the rope handed over by Gu Chengzi and looked at the bottomless Scrap Weapon Valley, where the yin wind was blowing.

"Is this really safe?" "As much as I trusted the equipment they gave me, the gloomy rift still scared me.

"Xiao Qiong, don't worry. In our place, the most unsafe are people, and the safest are these machines!" Lao Xu patted his chest and said.

"Well, Sister Joan, you can rest assured, it's absolutely safe. Fleur walked over and nodded and smiled at me, as if encouraging.

"Well, I know it's safe, but I'd like to live longer. ”

"Hahaha, just look at your appearance and know that you live a long time. Lao Xu said to me with a smile, I pouted and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"It's a little deep, this valley. ”

"Hahahaha, Xiaoqiong, you won't be cowardly. "Lao Xu has always been smiling next to me, especially at this time, he is really more and more improper.

"Tsk, you look at the scrap valley, the bottomless, and it's not you who go down, you know how to say cool words, do you dare to jump!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Hahaha, you're just cowardly. Look at it!"

Lao Xu put on the transparent protective clothing with lightning speed, and pressed the device on his chest, and the originally loose protective clothing immediately attached to his body. He grabbed the rope with one hand, and jumped into the valley without stopping it. All this happened so fast that in the blink of an eye, Lao Xu's figure had disappeared from my sight. I looked at Fu Hui and Mo Qingyan in amazement, both of them were in the same posture - their hands were holding their heads, their eyes were stretched out, and their mouths seemed to be dislocated. Has he forgotten that he still has a mission to do! He wants to stay on it to guard the spaceship! Fu Rui immediately pulled up the walkie-talkie and reprimanded Lao Xu.

"Hey, Lao Xu, what are you doing down! You still have a mission!"

"It's all right, Captain! Lazy, it can't spot our ship. ”

"Ridiculous!

"It's okay! No...... Team...... ......"

"Hey, hey, Lao Xu, talk back!"

"Team...... Come...... There was ......"

"Hey!

......

"It's ridiculous!!"

Lao Xu's voice became smaller and smaller, more and more stuttering, and gradually there was no sound, and Furao slapped the walkie-talkie violently without the slightest response. This made our hearts rise to our throats at once, the situation below is unclear, and it is too dangerous for Lao Xu to jump down rashly like this. So we immediately put on our gear and pulled the rope. I didn't jump down the valley with a deep leap like Lao Xu, my hands gripping the rope tightly, but sliding down little by little. How far I slid down, it was already pitch black and I couldn't see my hands. At this time, I heard Mo Qingyan next door tinkering with something, and with a "click", I saw Mo Qingyan holding something the length of his index finger in his hand.

"Little girl, close your eyes first. Mo Qingyan said to me.

"Huh? I didn't know what he meant, but I did it anyway and obediently closed my eyes.

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

"Alright. ”

I slowly opened my eyes, and for a moment, a strong light pierced my eyes. I looked around and saw that it was as bright as the sun. When I looked closely, it turned out that there were three small balls of light the size of marbles floating in the air, emitting a strong light.

"Mo Qingyan, what is this? How can it be so bright. ”

"Ah, these, these are called 'Sun Beads'. As long as these beads absorb enough sunlight, and at night, release one, and it will emit the same light as the sun's rays, although it will not shine far, but it is enough. Mo Qingyan explained to me as he brought a sun bead to my side, which was like a light bulb with a full wattage.

"You really don't lack amazing machines!"

"Hahaha, it's not a machine, it's just beads, I brought it from my hometown. ”

"Your hometown, aren't you from Lazy Town?"

"I'm not, I'm from another town. ”

"Huh? I always thought you were from Lazy Town. ”

"Hahaha, no, think about it, I've been in Lazy Town for more than twenty years, and I'm a person from Lazy Town. Alas, time flies. ”

"Which town are you from? Last time you said there were a few big towns out there!"

"Don't mention the past, it's been so long, don't mention it. ”

"Okay......"

The news that Mo Qingyan is not from Lazy Town makes me a little dizzy. But if you think about it carefully, although Mo Qingyan is sometimes very proficient in machinery, compared to other ordinary townspeople in the base, his familiarity with machinery is really similar to mine. Many times I have seen him holding drawings and asking people for advice, asking for some basic use of machinery. In this way, it should be true that Mo Qingyan is not a person from Lazy Town.

We quickened our landing, and it didn't take long for us to reach the bottom of the Scrap Valley, and the three little balls of light were still following us. When we arrived at the ground, we looked around and looked for a long time, but we didn't see Lao Xu's figure, where did he go? Fleur impatiently slid her bracelet, and a holographic map appeared, this map was the same as what she saw on Lao Xu's car, she tapped a little bit on the map, and in an instant, the map clearly showed our specific location, and the location of Lao Xu marked with a red dot.

"This old Xu is really ridiculous, if I go back safe and sound this time, I will lock him up for ten days and half a month!" Fu Rui scolded as she walked.

"Huh? You're still in lockdown. I jokingly said.

"Haha, little girl, you don't understand this, confinement may be useless to others, it's not a matter for our people to sleep for ten days, but for Lao Xu, it's a big trouble. Mo Qingyan said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Haha, think about it, what is Lao Xu most anxious about?" Mo Qingyan asked me with an eyebrow.

"Lao Xu is most anxious?

"Hahaha......" After hearing my answer, Mo Qingyan laughed, and I looked at them suspiciously.

"Hahahaha......" Fleur also smiled, "Sister Joan, what you said also makes sense." ”

"His goods are important, but there are more things that make him more anxious than goods. ”

"More anxious?" I thought about it, and suddenly remembered the situation of Lao Xu in front of my room door that day, and I knew the answer, so I answered like a rush, "Jiang Man! ”

"Yes, imagine when he can't see Jiang Man, ouch, that's uncomfortable. Mo Qingyan shook his head and smiled.

"I see!"

Now that I think about it, Jiang Man always sticks to Lao Xu, although his face always looks very resistant, but he has never said a word to Jiang Man, he always follows her temperament, and always answers her questions patiently, it can be seen that Jiang Man has a lot of weight in his heart, such a good man is too difficult to find!

We talked and laughed along the way, as if we forgot that we had come out at great risk. But along the way we walked, Gu Chengzi rarely spoke, and came to the Scrap Valley in time, and he also silently observed the surroundings and rarely paid attention to us. We originally planned to let Gu Chengzi follow the route in his memory and take us directly to pick up Zhuang Zhou's box, but now that Lao Xu has lost it, we have to find Lao Xu first.

At the bottom of the Scrap Valley, I always thought it would be a dirty, messy place, but when we came down, we found that the mechanical waste here was neatly sorted and stacked on the side, and the ground was not without foot, but a clean path. Although the mechanical waste is neatly organized, there is still a lot of peculiar smell and corrosive and radioactive things, so after we went down to the bottom, Mo Qingyan helped me turn on the protective system on my body, he clicked on the device on my chest, and a transparent substance instantly flowed through my whole body, according to him, this layer of material can isolate anything that harms the human body. In addition, the bracelet on our hand can show the degree of pollution from the outside world, and if the bracelet turns red, it means that the pollution from the outside world is very dangerous to our human body.

We followed a path carved out of the ground, and the deeper we went, the bracelet slowly turned red. We all walked cautiously, but suddenly, I don't know who stepped on something, and a thick gas erupted from the scrap pile next to us, and as soon as this gas touched our protective clothing, the bracelet immediately turned dark red. Mo Qingyan didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just pull me and run forward. However, the gas behind us followed us faster and faster, and in desperation, we got out of the path under our feet, turned a corner, and ran in the other direction. But we never expected that as soon as we turned the corner, we actually ran into a dead end! The white gas became more and more turbulent, and it was about to fill the entire scrap valley, slowly approaching us. Mo Qingyan and Gu Chengzi asked me and Fu Hui to squat, and then the two of them used their bodies to block the gas for us. No matter how powerful the protective clothing is, there is a limit, and its effectiveness will slowly disappear under long-term contact. If we continue like this, we will surely die!

At this moment, we heard the sound of a buzzing fan blade turning, and a very strong wind blew over, only to see that the thick white gas was blown away at once, and finally drifted into the air. A black figure appeared before our eyes.

Who is that person?
