For twenty-four hours a day, the Witcher team walked and stopped on the whirlwind stone staircase, taking turns sleeping and resting, and then moving forward, slowly approaching the ground five thousand meters above.

There were many more compressed biscuits for the military, but the clean water had been exhausted 11 hours earlier, and the crowd began drinking the water that the medical staff had washed their hands before surgery. If there were any irresistible germs in these hoses, I'm afraid they would have already been infected.

Lin Mo has been carried by the team members on a stretcher in turn; Lou Xiaoning walked on his own, but he still couldn't hold a gun or other weapons.

The higher they climbed, the narrower the space became, until at last there was less than a meter between the staircase and the circular stone wall, as if they were caught in the belly of a beast.

And it became more and more like the whole staircase was crumbling, and everyone could even hear a rattling sound similar to the vibration of a wooden staircase.

It didn't look like an illusion on their part, for the staircase and the stone walls were less and less red, but there were more spider-like cracks, and it was clear that the vitality on them was withering and seeming to collapse at any moment.

In the strange eternity, even death will be annihilated, Gu Jun remembered the words of the Arab madman, these stones are dying, disappearing, annihilation.

By the time there were still hundreds of meters above the ground, the atmosphere of the team was already very low, because everyone's physical strength and spirit were depleted to a certain extent, the scalp was tense, the bones of the whole body were soft and sore, the mouth was dry due to lack of water, and the lips were dry and chapped.

And this damn spiral staircase at your feet hasn't come to an end yet.

This physiological state breeds a disorder, and even the strongest will is constantly eroded by it.

It is true that the Witcher Squad is a mobile task force of the Dongzhou Branch, but it is the first time to experience such an abnormal space and such a devastating difficulty.

The higher you go, the slimmer it gets.

At this time, there was another chilling situation, Xue Ba saw it with a night vision telescope, and there was a top above, blocking the way, but ......

"Ah Jun, take a look." Xue Ba looked at it for a while, and then gave the telescope to Gu Jun next to him first.

Gu Jun took the telescope and looked at it, the swirling stone staircase led to a stone platform, and there was nothing to go up again, but the platform was less than a meter above the top, and it was also a stone that was connected with the surroundings, but there was a distinctly different thing like a thick stone slab or a top door directly above the platform.

The bottom of the slab was full of strange patterns, and it looked like it was artificially carved, in the shape of various flowers......

Gu Jun suddenly remembered Peyani's hometown, "the land of flowers", Shar City, and the stone slab should have the scenery of Shar City.

It's just that the more he looks, the more his mind floats, and a sense of illusion emerges in his tired head...... Is there an illusion here that can be triggered?

But after a while, the feeling didn't take shape, it only added to the messiness of the mind.

There were no aliens, locks, or other devices on the slab, but there were tiny cracks in the stone at the edges of its four sides, which seemed to be pushable open.

"Team Xue, I don't have anything special to discover." Gu Jun returned the telescope to Xue Ba, "But I feel that there is an exit." ”

Xue Ba nodded, and asked the other team members to take a look.

Soon, everyone understood what was going on, to get out, they had to break the barrier, could they blow it up with a C-4 or a miniature missile?

"You can't blow it up." Lin Mo objected as soon as he heard this, he was much better now, and there were no symptoms of residual parasites, "The stone slab is too close to the stairs!" Even if the control is accurate, the shock wave will affect the staircase, and the rubble will also press down, and if the stone staircase collapses like that, we will have to fall for thousands of meters. ”

"I don't think I can blow it up." This time, Gu Jun also shook his head, because he could feel the fragility of the stones around him, which was worse than the broken dead wood.

"Let's go up and have a look." Xue Ba led the assault team to the end of the platform a few steps first, only half a hand's distance from the stone slab.

Sure enough, the shaking was stronger, and the cracks in the stone were more and bigger, but the light outside was still interrupted......

They first pressed the stone slab with their guns, but there was no movement, and then they tried to push to the left and to the right, and it seemed that the movement of pushing to the left was particularly strong.

"Let's try it with a hand push." Xue Ba said that in this case, it is more right to push by hand.

Now the squad has almost nothing but guns and ammunition, water and food, medical tools, etc., and the most primitive and practical use of hand pushes.

In addition to the assault team leaving two people on guard, Xue Ba and the other five people stepped on their horses, raised their hands and pressed the bottom of the stone slab, "Three, two, one, push!" ”

They pushed hard to the left, and the faces of the five big men were all red and bruised, "Ah......"

However, the slate was only lifted up a little, and the light from the outside immediately poured down, but they held on for more than twenty seconds before they had to loosen it weakly, and the slate suddenly fell back to its original position heavily, and let out a terrible "bang", and the cracks in the surrounding stones were even greater......

"There's light up there! That's the export! Xue Ba encouraged the team members in an uplifting tone, but he didn't mention that he couldn't push even when he was full of strength, let alone tired now.

After only pushing this once, Xue Ba understood that it was a waste of strength for just a few of them to push, but now every bit of their physical strength is very precious, the water is gone, and the physical strength will only continue to decline with the passage of time.

Xue Ba asked everyone to stop first and asked Gu Jun to come up first to take a closer look.

But Gu Jun couldn't do anything except for a vague uneasiness surging in his heart.

Xue Ba had no choice but to let everyone come up, and said with a solemn face: "We have pushed away a little just now, there is light!" As long as you have enough strength, you can push this slate off! Let's all try it once, make a lot of effort, and this time it will be done. ”

At that moment, they all bent down and sat on the platform, and Xue Ba's head was pressed against the stone slab.

In order to gather the maximum strength, even Lin Mo, who was missing a leg, sat in.

Because maybe it was just a little bit of his strength that failed, and they probably wouldn't have the strength to do it a second time.

Everyone crowded into their positions, and their hands were raised and pressed on the bottom of the stone slab, and they were ready to push to the left with all their strength......

But suddenly, Gu Jun had a thought, the sixteen different handprints on the big banyan tree, sixteen people.

The handprints were oddly shaped and seemed to be struggling...... According to the uneven pattern of this stone slab, isn't it just that their handprints have changed strangely......

It seems that at the beginning of the fight, no matter what, he will go up here, either he is alone or a team, but he will go up here.

This idea was not only shocked in Gu Jun's heart, but also in Uncle Dan, Lin Mo, Yang Henan and others, and their brows furrowed.

"Don't worry so much!" Xue Ba had been paying attention to it for a long time, because he had already had this terrifying thought, and roared: "Whether you are thinking about it or not, it is just the enemy's trick, once we don't die below and come here, the enemy will use this to confuse us." Don't think too much about it, get ready to push! ”

Don't leave time for everyone to think crankily, because the emotion of panic will cause the body to weaken, and the strength cannot be used.

"Three, two, one!" Xue Ba shouted, his muscles exploded, "Push!" ”

All of a sudden, the sixteen members of the squad burst out with the maximum force they could, either gritting their teeth or roaring, pushing the stone slab with both hands!

This made their faces become a little distorted, their eyes widened, and the gauze on Lou Xiaoning's unhealed right eye socket was oozing red with blood, and the gray light outside was sprinkled again, and the arms that pushed up the stone slab were already trembling......

Of course, Gu Jun was also pushing with all his might, but the illusion that had vaguely emerged before suddenly became intense.

Some vague lights and shadows were no longer dead and silent, and they were surging madly in front of his eyes.
