For a moment, Gu Gang's expression was embarrassed, and his gaze swept over the ground, as if he wanted to find something.

After a moment of silence, he said the reason in a helpless tone: "If we report it, the base will definitely close the exploration privileges of Hongni Town." Mr. Captain, we also wanted to make a little more, so we didn't report it. ”

Adam's tone immediately became stern: "By doing so, you have violated the code of gold diggers!" This kind of behavior is enough to make you lose all rights in Optimus! ”

Gu Gang sighed deeply: "It doesn't matter what happens now, my people have died, and I am the only one left." Something like that happened in Redmud Town again, I'm penniless now, and even if I stay in Optimus any longer, I won't be able to enter the Adverse Realm again. ”

Adam shook his head: "You guys are so stupid, look, just because you trespassed into the last authorized place, and now even we are trapped here." ”

Gu Gang glanced at him: "I can only say, I'm very sorry. ”

Yun Ze raised his hand and patted the shoulders of the two: "Two, it's useless to say this now." Let's figure out what's going on in Red Mud first. ”

Several people's eyes looked at Gu Gang again.

Gu Gang grabbed his bald head and sat on the steps with a look of chagrin: "After discovering that underground space, we conducted a preliminary exploration, and using the sonar equipment, we found that the space below Hongni Town was surprisingly large, and it could be stuffed into another city. ”

After that, a meeting of several gold prospector squads that had been exploring the town had a meeting. Everyone unanimously agreed to put down the matter of underground space for the time being. Before being discovered by the Yunxiang base, everyone went back to Qingtian Castle. Prepare supplies and recruit lives to explore that subterranean space. ”

Having come down from the rooftop, leaning against a pillar, Tianyang probably knew what they were doing it for.

These gold diggers just want to explore for themselves first, after all, if it is virgin land, there should be a lot of valuable things.

If all goes well, wait for these gold diggers to search for it first, and then report it to the Yunxiang base. At that time, the base must have gotten much less.

They did a good job of wishful thinking, but unfortunately, it seemed that they had stepped on a landmine.

One of the members of the Sun Spear snorted, "If the underground space is really as big as you say, it's up to you gold diggers." Even if you find something, you have a fate to take a fateful flower! ”

Adam raised his hand to stop the team's taunting, and they had already paid the price for their actions. At this time, there is no need to fall into them.

The bald head glanced at Adam with some gratitude, and then said: "Actually, this brother is right, we are indeed overwhelmed, but unfortunately everyone was carried away by this discovery before." Anyway, after some preparation, we met up in Red Clay and entered the Underground Space. ”

"At that time, we didn't have any idea of using a sonar system to investigate. It wasn't until I went in myself that I realized how open it really was. We went underground through a vertical cave, which was located in a building. Maybe because of the previous earthquake, the cover above collapsed. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have discovered that terrible place. ”

"We descended more than 300 meters vertically from the ground before we stepped onto the ground. What appeared before our eyes was absolute darkness. It was different from the sky shrouded in black fog in the Reverse Realm, there was no light at all. Of course, lighting tools are indispensable for us to take adequate measures to deal with them. But when we started up a few high-powered searchlights, we found that even with these tools, we couldn't get a glimpse of the whole leopard. ”

"Based on the flow of air and the echoes of the space, we judged that this was a huge space beyond our imagination. The discovery thrilled everyone, as the vertical cave that came in had already shown that it was a man-made creation. Why do some things have to dig such a large space into the ground? I think you can guess the answer, yes, they must be storing something here. ”

Even now, when talking about that place, Gu Gang was still a little excited, and he emphasized with his movements: "In that underground space, there must be something important and of great value!" ”

"Did you find out in the end?" Yun Ze raised the most critical question.

It's a pity that Gu Gang shook his head: "No, after we were excited, we started to explore." To avoid getting lost in an empty and dark world, we used an electronic compass. It took about half a day before we found a base. ”

Everyone's expressions were obviously stunned, and Adam was the first to react: "What did you say, Base?" What kind of base? ”

Gu Gang gestured: "It's similar to the Yunxiang base, but the scale is larger, and there is a reverse text at the entrance, so we preliminarily judge that this underground base should be built by the residents of the reverse world." Well, maybe it's a sanctuary. ”

Yun Ze shook his head: "It can't be a refuge, we have been exploring this area for many years. Several of the big cities here, as well as towns like Gemtown, have very limited building heights. Coupled with the research of some archaeologists, they all agree that the economic and cultural level of this region is only moderate in terms of adversity at that time. ”

"So I don't think it's possible for the Residents of the Bad Realm to build a shelter in a place like this. Of course, I can't say exactly what it is, after all, I haven't been there. ”

Gu Gang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter what it is, in short, that ghost place is a real base." Although we couldn't read the text of the Reverse Boundary, after entering, there were words and pattern explanations at intervals. Only the base would be so rigorous, right? What's more, we also found an armed platform in it that is not found in the city on the ground, which shows that the building has a planned security system. ”

Wang Liangyi clasped his hands around his chest, and agreed with his jaw: "Judging from this way, it should really be a base." ”

Adam looked at the bald head and gestured, "You go on." ”

Gu Gang's expression began to become solemn, and even his eyes gradually became colored with panic: "We were very excited at first, because we knew very well what a Defiant Base represented. But as we went deeper, we started to realize that something was wrong. ”

"In that base, we found some bodies. These corpses are crawling with the fungus, yes, like the glowing stuff in Gem Town. But it doesn't matter, what matters is that those corpses seem to be our people. ”

Yun Ze looked at him puzzled: "You mean, the fortress once explored that base?" ”

Gu Gang nodded vigorously: "That's right, because their equipment is of the same type as us, but the model is different." In there, we even found a three-dimensional weapon that had been dismantled to pieces! ”

Adam was the first to shout: "This is impossible, I have been here at the Yunxiang base for a long time, but I have never heard of similar explorations by al-Qaeda, and I have never seen any reports about the Adverse Boundary Base!" ”

Gu Gang lowered his voice and said, "It's impossible for us to admit our mistakes, but if you say so, captain." There was only one possibility, and the fortress didn't want anyone to know about that exploration, or about the existence of that base. ”

Tianyang, who was leaning on the pillars, heard a slight movement in his heart, Su Lie had hidden a suitcase in Gem Town, and the base under the ground of Red Mud Town had traces of the fortress exploration.

Is there a correlation between the two?

"Either way, even if the fortress has been explored, we still hope to find something of value inside. In the end, instead of finding wealth, we found a tree. Gu Gang stopped at this point, seemed to be caught in the memories of the time, and didn't say a word.

Yun Ze exclaimed excitedly: "Could it be the Pillar of Star Marrow?" ”

Gu Gang didn't come back to his senses for a while, until Adam shook his shoulder, and the bald man raised his head: "No, it's something else." Bigger, more evil, it was both a plant and human. And the light was limited at the time, so I couldn't see very clearly, and I could only faintly see the outline of a tree-like silhouette. And..."

"And it was covered in flora, some of which even combined into the shape of a human body, and looked like countless people huddled together like worms. What's even more terrifying is that when we open that hall, the colonies are spreading towards us at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. ”

"One of my subordinates was covered in bacteria because he couldn't run, and he quickly suffocated to death."

Adam's expression was shocked: "You mean, those things will parasitize on humans?" ”

Gu Gang's jaw was headed, and his expression was terrifying: "That's right, I can even see them desperately growing mycelium into the human body, those things are too evil, it's like a beast preying." And in the hall at that time, I saw that the branches of the strange tree full of bacteria had penetrated into the dome of the hall. Oh no, they've grown to the ground! ”

Adam took two steps back: "The earthquake happened about two months ago, and it wasn't long before the microflora in Gem Town suddenly became weird. Could it be that it had something to do with the base, because the passage to the ground was opened and something was released? ”

Gu Gang looked at the team leader of the Sun Spear blankly: "What's wrong with the fungus in Gem Town?" ”

Wang Liangyi interrupted him: "Don't worry about this for now, you go on, how did you meet the dark knight after that?" ”

Gu Gang smiled bitterly: "In that hall, we were frightened, and several people opened fire on the strange tree despite my orders, and as a result, strange cries came from the tree. It wasn't long before the Shadow Knights and their henchmen popped up. They hunted us down at the base, and we escaped, and in the end, I was the only one who managed to make it out of Redmud. ”

He spread his hands: "You all know what happened next. ”

Wang Liang's eyes were sharp: "So, you don't even know what the phantom riders and their servants are protecting?" ”

"I wish I knew that in that case, my men would not die unjustly." Gu Gang shook his head, "Unfortunately, I really don't know. We had only explored a quarter of the way, or even smaller, before we ran into the strange tree. Later, he was chased and killed by the Ghost Rider and the Servants. I don't think those purple-skinned bastards will tell us what they're protecting! ”
