Chapter 174: The Fire Behind It

The light on Zhang Xiaohu's shoulder kept swinging back and forth, and he tried to control the speed at which the aircraft descended, so that he could carefully check the situation around the elevator shaft, and he found that every other distance, there was a small hole in the rock wall, which was really easy to miss if he didn't look closely.

He thought that the holes might have been used to secure the ropes, and that the unseen intelligence officers should have used this method to descend into the depths of the mine.

Above Zhang Xiaohu, there were four female warriors, who were in charge of guarding at the rear. The mysterious man behind him with unknown motives is always a potential hidden danger.

"It's still twenty meters from the ground, everyone be careful!" The voice of the West Pole sounded again on the public channel. Before everyone could react, a "whirring" whistling sound suddenly came from above.

Zhang Xiaohu looked up and saw that there was an orange point of light above that was constantly chasing after everyone.

"It's a flame, someone is setting fire to it, everyone speed up!" The West Pole discovered the danger overhead, and everyone hurriedly landed downward.

The people who answered below should have been notified by Xiji, and four female warriors had already moved the elevator below to make room for everyone.

Zhang Xiaohu learned from the people below, trying to use the method of traversal movement, and quickly left the elevator shaft neatly, but his technique was still not proficient, he did not control the speed, and turned in advance before he landed, so that he crashed into the elevator shaft, making a "bang" sound, he himself was not affected by any impact, but it affected the people who landed in the rear, everyone was crowded together, and several aircraft all lost control because of the collision and circled at the entrance.

The flames above were already close in front of him, and Zhang Xiaohu didn't know how this fire was maintained, and why it was still so powerful after extending for hundreds of meters.

He saw that the ground was already close in front of him, and even if he fell, there would not be much danger, so he hurriedly controlled his body, turned on the public channel at the watch, and shouted to everyone: "Put away the aircraft, let's go down!" He first turned off the flying machine that was flying around, received the force of inertia, and suddenly fell to the ground below. Because it was closed early, the protective cover disappeared before it landed, so his chest hit the ground hard, and the military uniform immediately relieved most of the impact, and he himself did not receive any substantial damage, but in the next second, his back was pressed down, and then again..... all five female warriors in a company were pressed on him.

He immediately felt all the air in his abdominal cavity squeezing out of his body, and his throat was "ahhhhhhhhhh Fortunately, the process was not too long, and the answering personnel who were originally waiting outside quickly stepped forward and dragged everyone out of the elevator shaft.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohu's whole person was dragged out, the flame of chasing his life arrived.

Xiji didn't know what kind of means was used, but he actually wrapped the entrance below with a transparent shield, and the raging flames burned silently in the elevator shaft, tumbling, and illuminated the mine in a bright place.

"Lao Zhang, are you okay, scared me to death, what's going on with this fire?" Zhao Zixuan helped Zhang Xiaohu up and took off his backpack intimately.

Chenyi also hurriedly opened the kettle and gave Zhang Xiaohu two sips of water.

"Behind us there are "rats!" Zhang Xiaohu looked at the people around him who cared about him and said.

Xiji looked at the flame that could not be weakened, and said: "This flame is formed by solid fuel, and the identity of the mouse behind it can't escape those people!" It seems that they are not far from us, and we need to be extra careful next! She looked at Twilight Snow and ordered, "Leave some traps here, we need to beat each other!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu didn't know what the mechanism was arranged by the sacrificial legion, he was carried by Chen Yi and followed the large army to the deeper part of the mine.

The first batch of personnel who came down before had installed a lot of light sources the size of buttons on the rock walls of the cave at a certain distance, all emitting a warm white light, illuminating the entire mine very brightly.

However, it can be seen that the mine is still very chaotic, and there are a lot of discarded mining tools left on the ground, I don't know what happened here a long time ago, since people are mining here, why didn't they take the tools with them when they left?

Under the illumination of the light, some milky white fluorescent objects were buried in the dust. Zhao Zixuan had a long memory this time, and he didn't dare to pick it up at will, but he still looked reluctant, squatting next to those things, looking eager to try.

Yan Cannon glanced at him twice, and said lightly: "Doll, let's go, that's a human bone!" ”

Zhao Zixuan: "Ah! He screamed and asked in disbelief, "Really?" Uncle Yan, can human bones still shine? ”

"This is a fossil, I don't know how many years ago it was old, there is no air circulation here, you can become like this if you die for a thousand years!" King Peter walked over and took Zhao Zixuan's hand and pushed it forward.

"Ah...... Scared the hell out of me! I can't die if you die! Zhao Zixuan hurriedly took a few steps back, grabbed some more soil on the ground, covered up those bones, and clasped his hands together and said, "Don't blame it!" Don't blame it! ”

Chen Yi hugged Zhang Xiaohu and whispered: "These people should have been killed by Y87564-1, he did this here, it must be to cover up the secret of the serum bank!" ”

"Serum, the key to eternal life...... Zhang Xiaohu asked suddenly. I want to ask you, does it feel good to have eternal life? ”

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied: "After eternal life, it means that living beings have got rid of the natural laws of the universe, transcended the law of conservation of energy, and have endless time to explore the secrets of the universe, this is the value of eternal life!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu frowned, looked directly at Chen Yi and said, "You didn't answer me directly, what I want to ask is, does immortality mean a lot to you?" You also seek "immortality", don't you? ”

"I don't feel anything anymore...... Aside from the pain that comes with my body during a recession, I can't remember how I felt for a long time! Chen Yi recalled: "When we came to this strange world hundreds of millions of years ago and spent tens of millions of years building this world, I thought that I had found the value of eternal life, that is, to create other lives and become a god in their eyes!" But how many years have passed, watching the civilization I have built die out from generation to generation, I have a very mixed emotion in my heart. And my immortal companions, who have become strangers to each other over time, I really don't know what the value of our eternal life is. Maybe it's always been like this, suspicious of each other, defensive, and aimless to live! ”

"I'm your test subject, you..." Zhang Xiaohu saw Chenyi's expression, thought for a while, and changed the topic: "I mean, how did you change your opinion of a few of us and be willing to let us out?" If you keep us to extract the serum to ease the pain of your recession, won't there be no such troubles? ”

In fact, Zhang Xiaohu wanted to open his mouth several times on this question, but he never waited for the right opportunity. He felt that Chen Yi had wasted so much effort to find his perfect test subjects who could be used to provide serum, why was she willing to release her own people? And now, with the exception of Y87564-3, the other engineers have learned that their group is the perfect test subject, and now these engineers are trying to capture them.

"Do you have to ask this question?" Chenyi didn't seem to want to answer.

"You can also wait until you want to answer, and then tell me, you must live longer than me, don't you? I hope to hear the answer to this question in my lifetime! Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly.

"Your joke isn't funny at all!" Chen Yi said helplessly.

As they chatted, they walked forward, and soon there were four forks in the mine, and Twilight Snow stepped forward to identify it, and found the sign left behind at the entrance of the far left, and she said, "It seems to be in this direction!" ”

Xiji's face was a little ugly, and she said, "What the hell are those guys doing?" How did they not wait for us as planned! ”

Yan Cannon took off the light source on his shoulder, shone it around the ground a few times, looked at it carefully, and said, "Someone did enter through this hole on the left before, and shallow footprints can be seen on the ground. And there was a person who walked on tiptoe! He thought for a while, looked at Zhang Xiaohu, and said, "What's that black-faced guy's name?" ”

"Mr. Alebayo!" Zhang Xiaohu knew who Yan Cannon was asking, and hurriedly replied.

"That's right! I noticed him before, he is walking with the forefoot, it should be them, it can't be wrong! Yan Cannon confirmed.

Xiji asked, "Can you still see anything wrong?" ”

When Yan Dacang heard this, he immediately lay on the ground, laying the light flat, and the others also shone the light source to the ground. On the chaotic ground, except for all kinds of debris and dust, no one else really found anything wrong, only Yan Cannon was like a hound, sniffing the ground gently, his eyes were not blinking at all, staring carefully, he raised his head suddenly, stared at the hole on the left, and looked nervous.
