Chapter Seventy-Seven: Another Dimension
"Inside, except for the dead tree we walked out of, it's a black, rotting wasteland."
Xue Ba recalled the dryness and dead silence, even though he was used to seeing the abnormal power, he still felt the shock, "The dead tree is the center point, we go in any direction around, walk in a straight line distance of 1037 meters, and we will reach the high wall." There were high stone walls on all sides, and we were surrounded by them. ”
"How high is the wall?" Gu Jun couldn't help asking.
"I don't know." Xue Ba said that he was a little emotional, "We flew up with the drone we brought in, and the maximum flight altitude exceeded 1,500 meters, but we still couldn't fly out." A little higher, and the drone will fall out of control. The captured image is also blurry. ”
With a circular stone wall of more than 1,500 meters and a diameter of 2,074 meters, it must be majestic......
Gu Jun frowned silently, could that be a human creation?
"That wall leaves us with no way out." Xue Ba continued to explain.
The Witcher team was carpet exploring the wasteland, which took half a month. The boss never dared to let them make drastic attempts, such as blasting the high wall with explosives, fearing that it would destabilize this alien space and cause the passage of the Banyan Tree Cave to collapse.
But after the team finished exploring, they found nothing, so they were given a few days off to participate in recreational activities to regulate their mood.
It wasn't until yesterday that there was a new breakthrough - a different script was found in the den of Laisheng Company, and Gu Jun determined that it was a kind of text.
The team had seen a line of dissimilar text on a high wall. At that time, the emergency team paid attention to it, but the photos and images could not be taken, and the spirit of the team would also be affected.
There have been linguists who have been in with the team before, and there is not only one, but they have no clue.
"But as soon as I saw the words written on the tree by Laisheng, I remembered that it was this kind of writing! Uncle Dan, they are also very sure. But we still can't get that line out of the text. Xue Ba said and patted Gu Jun on the shoulder, "So this mission is to take you in to see, what does that mean." ”
Gu Jun understood the situation, and some thoughts immediately poured out, could that alien space be the world of alien civilizations?
Experiments of the Afterlife...... Connecting the two worlds?
He suddenly had a lot of questions to ask, "Captain Xue, is this the only one here?" What about the banyan trees at other source sites? ”
"This is the only place, but we suspect that Laisheng has other channels." Xue Ba's square face was a little solemn, "Yesterday, the Operations Department didn't catch anyone in that den, they have already seen a few figures, and they don't know where they went in the end." ”
"Has the situation in the other space been encountered by the Heavenly Machine Bureau before?" Gu Jun asked again.
"There have been similar ones, such ...... It should be the first time. In fact, this matter is now under the direct command of the headquarters. ”
"Captain Xue, what is the origin of that kind of alien with plates and bones in the chest?" Gu Jun looked very serious, because this question was very important, "I think they have something to do with Laisheng Company, which is a definite feeling." ”
"Oh?" Xue Ba was immediately suspicious, "The investigation results of the Investigation Department believe that the heterogeneous and the heterogeneous disease are two different incidents. ”
Gu Jun hurriedly said, "No, I'm sure it matters!" That's one thing. And I suspect that they came from another world through this banyan hole. "The Afterlife Society should not be able to control the aliens who destroyed their old world, but they have the ability to bring disaster over......
"Alright, I'll report the situation." Xue Ba naturally understood the seriousness of this possibility, and was about to leave.
Gu Jun looked at the withered giant tree, and suddenly had another terrible thought, 16 handprints, 16 people.
Isn't the Witcher squad 16 people plus him?
"Captain Xue, wait!" Gu Jun hurriedly stopped Xue Ba, "Have our handprints been compared?" His handprints were entered into the database of the Heavenly Machine Bureau when he reviewed the physical examination.
"Haha, you kid is thoughtful enough." Xue Ba laughed heartily, "It's all compared, it's okay." Or can you send us in? But every time I go in, I can't guarantee whether I can get out alive. Hurry up and write a suicide note and prepare it. ”
Watching Xue Ba walk away, Gu Jun shook his head self-deprecatingly, thinking that his ability to speak differently would give him safety, but he didn't expect to push himself into danger instead.
At that moment, he went to Uncle Dan to ask for a pen and paper, and wrote a short suicide note, mainly to thank Professor Gu, Brother Qiang, and Zhu Zhuzhudao for their care, as well as to comfort Cai Zixuan and Wang Ruoxiang.
Then, pretending to be irritated by the banyan tree, he had a splitting headache and delirium, and after shouting loudly, he gasped to the nervous crowd and said, "I suddenly remembered a lot of foreign ......," and then wrote down to the organization all the five hundred foreign languages he knew so far.
At this time and then, in the early hours of the morning, he hid his secrets to protect himself, and now he did it to ...... The people mentioned in the suicide note.
Gu Jun didn't know if he was careful or not, no one had seen through him, anyway, no one said anything about him.
It's just that Xue Ba and the others looked at his newly written different text, and they still couldn't remember if there was any trace of the different text on the high wall.
"Your intelligence has been taken seriously by headquarters." Xue Ba told Gu Jun, "The situation is urgent, we have to hurry up to complete this task." ”
Previously, the witcher had completed the determination of the composition of the air in the alien space, except for the very low oxygen content, only 13%-15%, and there was no poisonous gas harmful to the human body. But everyone still has to wear special protective clothing, and the skin must not have any direct contact with the banyan tree.
Each person also had to carry a different backpack on their backs, and the total weight added up was an exact number.
Because the Banyan Tree Cave has a "capacity" limit on foreign substances such as living organisms and dead objects, things are also counted when they are placed in it, like a cup, and when it is full, it cannot be filled with water, so it cannot be transported.
Either bring these or those.
"This MP5, for you, hang on your body."
Before leaving, Xue Ba took a miniature submachine gun from the equipment car and threw it to Gu Jun, "It's very simple to use a gun, open the safety here, load it, and shoot it when you aim it." This gun is full of bullets, don't open the insurance if it's okay, don't aim the gun at your own people, I see it, I will kill you first when your S value is too low. ”
"Understood...... Gu Jun could hear that Xue Ba was not joking, if he was insane, he would still use Wei Chong against his own people......
The gun was heavy in his hand, and it was the first time he had touched a real gun, at least as far as he could remember.
After more than three hours from arriving at Gurong Village, finally under the eyes of the people in the command center, the fully equipped demon hunter team and Gu Jun walked towards the big banyan tree.
The smell of the banyan tree's decay was isolated outside by the protective suit, Gu Jun breathed the oxygen supplied by the oxygen tank, and watched Captain Xue, who was walking at the front of the team, squeeze into the banyan tree hole, disappearing in the darkness, and then the next team member, and then the next team member......
"Ah Jun, keep up." Then Uncle Dan was about to go in, and the voice came from the radio intercom, "Don't be afraid, there is something Uncle Dan covering you." ”
"Okay," Gu Jun watched Uncle Dan also disappear in the big tree hole, and then walked towards the rotten gray and black treacherous hole.
One step, two steps, three steps......
He vaguely saw a strange blur ahead.
