Chapter 24: Don't be afraid, we are human beings
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about."
Lu Tao just bent down and picked up the water to wash his face, Xu Fei behind him was startled, his body was crooked, and he almost fell into the pool.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xu Fei grabbed Lu Tao and pulled him up, pointed to the opposite side of the hot spring pool and said, "You see, there are chisel marks on the stone wall of that canal. ”
"It's not weird, there are a lot of strange things in this bird place." Lu Tao said disapprovingly.
The opposite canal is half a meter wide and more than ten centimeters deep.
The hot spring water seeps out from the bottom and flows down the canal to the top of the mountain.
Wu Fanyang stared at the canal, tilting his head, one to the left and the other to the right. After staring at it for a while, he walked to the canal and squatted down, his hand touching down the wall of the pool.
"Boss, there are fish?" Chen Junwen hurriedly ran over.
"You can soak in hot water, where will there be fish." Wu Fanyang smiled, "I think there seem to be words here." ”
"Words?" Everyone was stunned.
There are constant bubbles on the surface of the water, and it is not clear to see from the walls of the pool.
"It's a word!" Lu Tao squatted on the opposite side of the canal, "Two words, it seems to be ...... Dream...... Spring, yes, is the word 'dream spring', and dream is a traditional Chinese character. ”
Dream Spring?
Hehe, it's quite poetic, and a few people laughed.
"Let's go, let's go around first, and I'll come back to the hot springs later." Wu Fanyang got up and stretched out his arm, "I'm tired enough to ride so far." ”
More than a dozen people with guns in their hands continued along the canal for about 500 meters until they reached the end of the canal.
At the end of the canal, there is a deep pool of more than one acre, surrounded by shrubs.
The purple shrub is the thickness of a thumb and grows in the direction of the pool, and the brush is submerged in the water.
Standing on the shore and looking at it, the water of the pool is turquoise, dark and full of mystery.
A team member saw that the purple wattle was densely growing, all of them were not in the water, and they didn't know how long, so they grabbed one and pulled it up.
"Damn, how is that possible?" He suddenly screamed.
After a while, the wattle was pulled up for seven or eight meters, but it still did not completely pull out of the water.
Hehe, no.
Chen Junwen walked over and grabbed the thorn and helped drag the picked up thorn back.
Alternate left and right hands, one pull up about a meter.
Twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters...... One hundred and ten meters.
Eventually, the wattle was completely out of the water.
A wattle, more than 100 meters long.
"It's over." Beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, and they let out a long breath.
The pool is at least more than 100 meters deep.
It's no wonder, everyone secretly comforts themselves.
Further on, at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain, extremely ordinary, is overgrown with large trees, about 100 meters high.
A stone staircase leads to the top.
Seeing the stone steps, everyone was stunned, on the stone steps, it was clean, and there were not even a few fallen leaves.
On the hill, there are people!
Otherwise, the stone steps would not have been so clean.
All the people looked at Wu Fanyang.
"Form a battle formation, up."
Wu Fanyang's face turned cold, this mysterious oasis is too strange.
Fortunately, there are kanji carved on the walls of the hot spring pool, and even if there are people, they are the same people as them.
The stone steps are not wide, more than one meter, and groups of eighteen people and six people, separated by dozens of meters, climb up the mountain.
The big trees on both sides, tens of meters high, no one recognizes.
The leaves are slender, green, red and purple, more than thirty centimeters, one finger wide, thick.
More than 100 meters, more than a dozen people quickly reached the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, a boulder more than ten meters high, with steps up.
"Cover!"
Lu Tao turned around and made a gesture to everyone.
He slowly poked his head out and looked to the top of the boulder.
A wall of blue light, shining on top of a boulder.
"Safety!" He shouted downward.
The top of the boulder was empty except for this wall of blue light.
The blue light wall was the second one they had seen in this world.
Bluer, bigger, taller compared to the vicinity of the Dead City.
"Boss, I'll go over and take a look."
More than a dozen people had reached the top of the mountain, and for half an hour, they had not seen any living people or beasts, and Chen Junwen was impatient.
"What's the hurry!" Wu Fanyang's face sank, "The steps are so clean, there must be people who come and guard them often." ”
"Boss, can you understand it when you go over and take a look?" Chen Junwen still wanted to convince Wu Fanyang.
"It's easy to get through, but we don't know where the blue wall leads. In case the other party's strength is strong, not only will we fall into the net, but we will also endanger the safety of more than 20 cities. ”
"Junwen, the boss is reasonable, if you make a mistake at a critical moment, it will be fatal." Xu Fei patted Chen Junwen.
"In a group of six, I'll guard first, and the others will rest on the spot and eat something." Wu Fanyang ordered.
……
……
The sky was getting darker, and the dark blue sky was full of stars.
Meteors streaked across the sky, and long marks were dragged out in the air.
The Milky Way shines brightly, as if it were close at hand.
A moonless night always gives them the illusion that they are still in the original world.
Under the boulder, on both sides of the steps, three people on one side stared at the movement.
Others, with their backs to boulders, sit on the ground and rest.
The surroundings were so quiet that there was not even a single insect chirping in the vast oasis.
It was midnight, and it was Lu Tao's turn to be on duty.
At dawn, if there is no more movement, more than a dozen people will venture through the blue wall to find out.
"Right...... Let's ......."
A strange sound came from the top of the boulder.
There's movement!
Those who were sitting and napping woke up all at once.
"Let's ......"
The sound drew closer to the stone steps.
A two-meter-long figure walked down the steps, holding an iron chain in his hand.
Behind him, more than a dozen people were tied to long iron chains, carrying rattan baskets in their hands.
A tall figure at the front, dressed in a robe and a hat.
Obviously, he didn't notice that there were people hiding on either side of the steps, and walked straight to the front steps with his head held high.
The more than 10 people chained to the chain were all 15 or 6 years old, both men and women.
All of them were haggard, ragged, wrapped in animal skins, and covered their shame.
A few people, who had found Lu Tao and others, opened their mouths in surprise, but did not make a sound.
"Go up and take a look!"
Lu Tao pointed to the top of the boulder and said silently.
One of the team members stepped up in a few steps, looked at it, and waved his hand.
"Intercept the man." Wu Fanyang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the left and right, "Go up there a few more people to prevent others from coming out." ”
"Stop!"
Immediately, more than a dozen people surrounded him.
The click, immediately stopped, and the tall figure turned around and stared at everyone.
"Damn, it's not human!" Xu Fei shouted.
An ugly face, blue and purple skin, and facial features similar to those of a human.
The mouth is disproportionately large, cleft all the way to the cheeks.
Four hands, one pair long, dragged to the knees, and a pair short, long on the chest, only half as long.
"Whew......"
A roar came from the weirdo's mouth.
Two long arms, reaching into the robe.
"Dada......"
Crisp gunshots rang out.
Wu Fanyang fired.
"Plop!"
The strange man had an incredible look in his eyes, looked down at his chest, and fell hard.
Chen Junwen was afraid that he was not dead, so he stepped forward and shot two more shots.
More than a dozen young boys and girls turned pale with fright, and they looked at everything that happened in front of them.
"Don't be afraid, we're human."
