Chapter 607: That Thing
"After Mr. Tam, we look at me, I look at you, but none of us volunteered to go down, although we don't know what is hidden in the ruins below, but just by looking at it through the ice, we can feel a strong discomfort, let alone go deep into it, the monster we bumped into on the ice field before, it is not its lair below. If I had a choice, I would have turned around and ran, but the rest of the retired soldiers were watching us.
I knew that if they ran away at this time, they would not hesitate to pull out their guns, not to mention that Mr. Tim was by my side, even that monster was no match for him, I don't think it was even more impossible for me to escape from him, seeing that we were all silent, Mr. Tym's face gradually showed impatience, and at this moment the Chinese couple spoke again, and the woman said let's go down.
The rest of us were stunned when we heard this, I didn't expect that someone really volunteered, I thought that a bad luck would be selected by lottery in the end, but Mr. Tim seemed very happy, and gave them a thumbs up, and praised them again and again, and I looked at the doctor, and I knew that this was the time to make a choice.
"Personally, I don't want to go down to that sub-ice city, but among those of us, apart from Mr. Tym and his men, only the Chinese couple seem to have some secrets about the ruins, and if they volunteered to go down, does that mean that the bottom is not as dangerous as we thought.
"On the contrary, staying on it seems like a relatively safe option, but we have helped Mr. Tam find his destination, in other words, we people are no longer useful to him, will he kill us all in order to prevent us from talking nonsense when we return?
"There was a fierce struggle going on in my heart, and at last I decided to continue with the Chinese couple, because the stone they had given us had proved to be very useful, and I wanted to believe that they still had a way to get through it, so I took the doctor with me and told Mr. Tim that we should go down too.
Mr. Tim and the Chinese couple were a little surprised, especially the man in the couple, and advised us not to think about it again, and he bluntly said that there might be some unexpected dangers below, and that he and his wife were willing to take the risk because they felt that the two of them had a higher chance of surviving than us, and that their research direction did have something to do with the city below, and he said that it would help us know where they came from.
I didn't know what this sentence meant, and I didn't know if there was any omission in it, but I only cared about the first sentence at the time, which was that he and his wife had a higher chance of surviving than we did, and that's why I finally decided to continue with them.
"Seeing that we had made up our minds, they stopped trying to persuade them, and Mr. Tem, wishing that more people would go down and help him get the thing, and when he learned that we were willing to join us, he almost couldn't hide the smile on his face, and then he let the retired soldiers cook on the fire, so that we could have a good meal, and when we had finished eating and packed up his things, he drove the others aside, and only the five of us were left."
"I asked him what you told us to go down and get it, and he said he didn't really know it himself, although he had done some research before, but because there were too many targets, he didn't know what was finally taken down, but he said that we would know when we saw it, because it was the only thing in the city below that didn't belong there, and he warned us not to go to the palace in the center of the city anyway."
Sachus said this, I don't know if it was because the alcohol subsided a little, and the fear in his eyes reappeared, and Songjia was completely attracted to his story, and when Sachus stopped, he immediately asked, "What did you take out of that city under the ice?" ”
Sachus took a deep breath, "A baby boy, about two years old, we found him in an altar-like building, not far from the huge palace, where some strange ritual seemed to be going on, but luckily no one else was there, but I can never forget the strange scene, the baby was connected by an umbilical cord to a huge tentacle, which seemed to draw nourishment from it, and the owner of the tentacle had a body as huge as a mountain, But it lay quietly in the great palace in the middle of the city, where Mr. Tim warned us not to go.
"We couldn't see it clearly, only a dark silhouette, and the doctor and I looked at it and withdrew our gaze, but we still felt terrified and just wanted to crawl on the ground. It had a tentacle sticking out of the palace and hugged the baby boy tightly as if it were born to be one. ”
"To be honest, I don't want to touch that thing on the umbilical cord at all, although he does look like a human baby boy, in good health, nothing abnormal, and has a heartbeat and breathing, but like everything else here, it also makes me feel sick and scared from the bottom of my heart, and I can clearly see through the umbilical cord that his blood circulation is also linked to that of the tentacle owner, which means that it also has the blood of the monster on its body.
"If there was a choice, I just wanted to pull my leg and leave, but because of Mr. Tam's explanation, I had to endure the discomfort in my heart and step forward and tear him off the tentacle, the process was easier than I thought, and I didn't even need to cut the umbilical cord, because the other end of the umbilical cord was a spike-like thing, inserted in the tentacle, and the connection between the two of them was only mimicking the fetus and the mother, but it was not really as strong as the fetus and the mother.
"I tore him off and stuffed him in a travel bag and started to run back, but I ran less than 20 meters before I heard someone behind me shouting to me and telling me to stop, and the woman in the Chinese couple then came over and touched the baby's chest and nose, saying that we have to go back, because after leaving the tentacles, the child is in a very bad condition, his heartbeat and breathing are getting weaker and weaker, and it is impossible to return to the ground alive."
