Volume 2: The Underworld Chapter 98: Falling into the Abyss (1)
The night was as dark as ink, and before the wind rose, the night sky was still full of stars, and at this time the sky was no longer guided by starlight.
Qingtian pulled his sister across one small slope after another, in front of them there were two male team members, Zhang Rufeng and Xu Zheng, who were on their backs, followed by Qingtian, and behind the female team members were Wang Xinchao and Du Chengjia.
But the female team members still walk too slowly, and their physical strength is also poor, and there are several female team members: they are usually pampered masters, and they start to cry when they are tired, and they complain from time to time.
Xing Qishan came to a temper and said, "You can save some snacks!" It's better to shut up, you talk endlessly, if there is another group of bats, I won't be able to feel alert, and when the time comes, no one will carry you on your back if I bite you! ”
After a few scares, it was a lot quieter. Even if some of the female team members had their hands scratched by a branch, they all pouted and persisted. But that's definitely not the way to go. Because if they walk for another hour, their will will probably have to be nullified.
The physical strength of the female team members is really limited. There are only a few people with the best physical strength. Rain or shine is good, exercise every day abroad. Dongfang Fengxian has been practicing martial arts all year round and has a good foundation, so the two of them. has been leading the women in front.
He Zhili was born as an athlete, so after the female team members were cushioned, she kept urging and comforting the sisters.
The mountains and forests are barren, weeds and vines are overgrown, and there is only one direction to the west, the river cannot be walked, and the sky has to be guarded against vampire bats, and the road is actually less than three kilometers in an hour.
"Brother! Let's take a break! After walking a little further, I guess my feet will be blistered! ”
Qingyu's tired appearance is pretending to be for his brother.
Xing Qishan gasped and said: "Captain, I also have to rest for a while, Xie En, this kid hasn't woken up yet, what should I do?" ”
In a wide area, where the trees were widely spaced and the weeds were simply cleared to the side, the group stopped.
The female team members cleaned up the surroundings, removed more weeds, and then laid the ground. At this moment, the lights are diminutive, and the three male team members are arming the perimeter and paying close attention to the changes around them.
Qingtian leaned over to look at Shane's injury, and his snort was even, indicating that he was still breathing, but he was still unconscious, and he didn't know what to do for a while. So he asked Qingyu: "Xiaoyu, what should I do if he doesn't wake up?" ”
"Brother, I said, if you don't wake up for half an hour, you have to consider whether his body can hold on, feed him some water, and try!"
Xing Qishan took the kettle from Shane's waist, unscrewed the lid, and accidentally, the water spilled Shane's face, Xing Qishan was embarrassed, and said apologetically: "Let's splash him with some water first, and do this when the prisoner is in a coma during the interrogation!" ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to feed Shane water with the kettle, and a violent cough sounded, and Shane actually reacted, "I'll just say it!" It really works! I'll splash it again! ”
"Don't ...... Splashed, I almost choked to death by you, don't pour water into my nose! Shane sobered up and said the first thing.
"Are you really awake?" Xing Qishan was stunned, and laughed.
Sunny and rainy gave a thumbs up! The rest of the female team members gave a thumbs up. Xing Qishan got carried away and said: "Should you thank me first, I can carry you along, I'm tired enough!" ”
"Shane! How do you feel? Can you go? Qingtian asked with concern.
Shane shook his head and tried to stand up, this is a slope after all, and it is best to need someone to help him stand.
"I'll hold on to it!" Shane said.
"Who's San'er?" Xing Qishan asked. At this moment, all the women pointed to Xingqi Mountain.
"Me? Good boy, this adult does not change his name, sits or changes his surname, and the criminal Zhou Qishan is also, not the third one. ”
"Then let me ask you, how old are you in the family?" After Shane woke up, he still had the heart to chat.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Your eldest brother Xingqiyi, your second brother Xingqier, your fourth brother Xingqisi......"
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone laughed happily.
A female team member asked curiously, "Are there seven brothers in your family?" ”
Xing Qishan kept silent, he absolutely couldn't admit that he was ranked third, there were six brothers in the family, and his mother wouldn't have seven brothers! This is really the biggest joke of the Xing family. Daddy's name is too much, then I have to let my mother have another eighth brother and see how Daddy names him.
After resting for a while, the fatigue was relieved a lot, and the fear was much less, and it seemed that telling jokes could dispel fear, and rest could dispel fatigue.
Once again, he and his teammates exchanged hands to chop wood, and he rolled his arms and continued to open his way. From a dense forest, the three teams finally came out.
Everyone noticed that the wind was getting stronger and stronger on the mountain, and there was a dense bush in front of them, and it looked quite troublesome to pass through it. When the wind blew, there was a buzzing whistling sound in the bushes.
At this time, Zhang Rufeng, who was exploring the way ahead, ran over, panting and said, "Captain, it's too bad, there is a cliff ahead."
Qingtian looked at the people behind him, at this moment, Xu Zheng had been wet with sweat, and the cool breeze blew, freezing and almost shrinking into a ball, even more so for the female team members behind him.
Qingtian walked slowly forward until he reached the edge of the cliff, where the flashlight shone downward, and there was no bottom in sight, and there was a blank gray sky.
Qingtian looked at the day, I was afraid that it would rain in a while, and the thunder was already heard in the distance. Turning back to look at the group, there was a moment of despair, and Qingtian gritted his teeth for a few seconds, so he said in a firm tone: "I'm ready to jump off the cliff!" Are you coming along? ”
"Captain, are you crazy? Why can't you think of it? Xing Qishan was stunned.
"Brother! What's wrong with you? Qingyu was also stunned by her brother's words.
As for Dongfang Fengxian and He Zhili, they both felt that they had heard it wrong. And among these people, only Wang Xinchao had an idea in his heart. So he stood up and shouted: "All the way, we all believe in you, I thought that you were a senior here with us, a senior engineer in the Spirit Realm, and you could take us back to the base, and you walked back alive." But we're disappointed by how you're doing now! ”
Since the formation of the group, Qingtian's performance is really not flattering. He Zhili and Dongfang Fengxian really don't know what kind of nerves the great engineer is guilty of?
Dongfang Fengxian walked up to the opposite side of Qingtian, "Do you have something to say to us, and then arouse our attention in this way!" Is that so? ”
"Sister Dongfang, he's already crazy, it's better to stay away from him!"
Ho Zhili asked Qingyu to talk to Qingtian. Qingyu also came to the opposite side of Qingtian, and asked worriedly: "Brother, whatever you want to say, I support you, if you want to jump off the cliff, I will accompany you to jump!" ”
Qingtian knew what he thought, and few people would believe it. So he lowered his head, took a long breath, and said slowly: "I said that this expedition around the island is just an illusion, do you feel it?" ”
"What do you mean?" Dongfang Fengxian asked.
Optimus said to himself, "Ever since I stepped into the Isle of War, I have wondered if what I have seen and heard in front of me is true. My suspicions were only suppressed in my heart, and I didn't expect that my apprentice would have the same idea along the way. He sent me a few messages, and we didn't have the habit of replying, as long as we met a sign of suspicion, we would send them to each other, and so I received several messages throughout the day. You analyze and analyze! ”
"It has nothing to do with you jumping off a cliff, does it?" Dongfang Impatiens retorted.
"Oriental girl, I hope you will listen to my words before refuting them, so that my actions are definitely not crazy!"
"Alright! You said! ”
"Oriental girl, he's crazy now, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Wang Xinchao, shut up for me! The captain is an old friend of mine, and I know him! Hear him out! Xing Qishan scolded.
The girls talked a lot, and they didn't know if Qingyu's brother was really crazy or what secret he was talking about. So they don't know what to do.
"Piranha, did you see that? Did they eat people? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”
"I didn't see them eating people, but I saw piranhas biting"
"Is it your team or ours?"
"Isn't that? But those severed hands and corpses were seen with your own eyes! Appalling! ”
"That's right! It's your miserable sentence! You didn't even look at the details because you were afraid! And I checked, and the corpses were real, but after the piranha bit my arm, it didn't hurt, only the bloody look of my arm! Then my perception only lasted a few seconds before it disappeared! ”
"How is that possible? You were bitten by a piranha, and you were all right? ”
"Then Shane's neck was indeed bitten by a vampire bat, isn't it fake?"
"You'll have to ask Shane, I'm not sure it's the giant tortoise that shouldn't be on this island. His ferocity trampled so many people to death, and I have seen that there are no dead bodies in the places where he has been trodden, but there are footprints. There was no blood, no one had any stumps and severed arms. ”
"Are you sure?" Dongfang Fengxian frowned.
"Man-eating flowers, too, are fake, and those who swallow them are eliminated directly. Many years ago, the International Spiritual Alliance came out with a game, an augmented reality version of the horror game, have you ever played the mysterious island? ”
"I seem to have some impressions, isn't it that it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it's banned?" Dongfang Fengxian recalled the ban at that time, because of the extremely high danger, the real and the false were mixed, and many players were physically and mentally devastated, and even committed suicide. After being banned, the psychic scientist turned this real damage into psychic harm, and it came to an end.
"I've experienced the augmented reality version of Myst Island more than 100 times. The country is banned, and the underground network still exists, so underground traders exchange for huge profits, and I am one of the participating players. ”
Dongfang Fengxian was particularly shocked and said: "It's so dangerous, aren't you afraid of losing your surname?" ”
Everyone shuddered when they listened, and the wind was blowing, but the attachment in their hearts did not change, listening to how Qingtian lied and went crazy.
"Of course I was afraid, because my virtual human was in need of this kind of simulated virtual technology to simulate the conditions. I couldn't believe I was taking such a big risk for the sake of my ideals. So, my virtual warriors and I learned from each other and corroborated each other. You also know that my virtual human ability is a little bit stronger than Simon Koi, and if she catches me, you will know how much effort I have put in. Later, I fused my work with real people, and the price was huge. I failed once, and that failure destroyed all my gains. So I didn't get into augmented reality again. I escaped, I ...... My experience today is as touching as it was then. It's not a fake, after all, there are natives living here. What does this mean? Where there are inhabited animals, there are almost no signs of the beasts here. It's all monsters that have appeared on the mysterious island, and it's just a coincidence. So I sniffed out one by one. ”
"The captain knows my ability, and he will collect evidence after I investigate."
Qingtian showed the results of the evidence collection to everyone one by one.
Everyone was puzzled, and Qingtian continued: "I didn't jump off the cliff without a target, I have a protective device, you guys are watching the enemy battle on it, I'll go down and take a look, Xiaoyu can go down with me!" I'm not going to really kill myself, in case it's really a cliff and I can't fall to my death, I just want to see what the hell is down there? Xiaoyu fully charged her bracelet and hit the road! ”
Dongfang Fengxian couldn't say anything at this moment, since he insisted on jumping down, and he also had his own sister to jump with him. What can they say? Did he drag his own sister to commit suicide together? It's a weird idea to think about.
"Qingyu, your brother said there was a protective device, didn't you hit you? Are you really going to pick it up? He Zhili dissuaded.
"Captain, I believe my brother, his virtual human design is very good!"
Qingtian took Qingyu's hand and said softly, "You and Shui'er are one, and I and Qingdi are one, see what they have in mind?" ”
"Hmm!"
The night breeze was still cool, and the Qingdi and Shui'er floated out of the bracelet in turn, and in just a few seconds, the illusory body of the Qingdi covered the real body of Qingtian, and the same operation happened to Qingyu.
"What are they doing brother and sister? It's useless to summon a virtual person to cover the whole body! ”
The rest were extremely worried about their madness. Qingtian and Qingyu's physical and mental and external temperament have completely changed at this moment, Qingtian ran a few steps and jumped for life, shouting: "Same as the previous training, Xiaoyu, you have to concentrate your mental strength!" Qingyu ran up as soon as her eyes were closed, and her body fell down like a cannonball.
"The two of them really jumped!"
The crowd was stunned. Xing Qishan cried and shouted: "Captain, I'll go with you!" ”
