Strange to say, the gold on Zhang Xiaohu's body gradually receded over time. And after the golden retreat, all the injuries on Zhang Xiaohu's body miraculously recovered. But why hadn't the Engineers used such a magical item before? He still remembered that Chenyi was seriously injured at that time, and he had never seen Xiji use this kind of item on her, could it be that these golden flakes that appeared in his backpack today were put in by someone else?

He felt very puzzled, could it be that behind the West Pole, there were other forces supporting his action this time? Judging from the situation along the way, this inference is very reasonable, but who is the force hidden in the shadows?

The golden tin box was very small, and there were only fifty gold sheets in it at most, and in addition to the three that I used, there were more than forty that could be used. Now that he knew that this golden flake had such a huge effect, Zhang Xiaohu understood that this thing must be properly kept, and it must not be lost, it will greatly guarantee the survival chances of his team.

Looking at the dark environment around them, Zhang Xiaohu suggested that everyone leave this tunnel as soon as possible and return to the surface. But Peng Jiadong said that according to the time, it was already dark outside. Now back on the surface, also look for a campsite to rest, why not just rest here for the night. In the last few days, when they rested at night, they did not dare to light any points of light at all, for fear of revealing their whereabouts in the dark. I don't know how long this tunnel has been abandoned, and it can be seen from the fact that there are so many monsters living in it, this place is not within the defense range of No. 4, and it is the best choice to rest and camp here.

At first, they were worried about whether the monsters would return, and they kept their weapons and guarded.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no sound. There was silence in the tunnel, and all but the five of them had disappeared without a trace. It should be that Zhang Xiaohu's combat power is too strong, and he scared those monsters away.

They found a slightly flatter spot nearby, lit two self-igniting lamps, and baked improvised food. Pedestrians had intended to make the monster carcasses into jerky for consumption on the road. But for the sake of safety and to avoid complications, in the end they felt that they still didn't move these corpses.

However, it is such a simple life, but the body and mind of several people are greatly relaxed, the warm flame soothes the tired body, and the quiet environment is also convenient for them to nourish their spirits.

After their inspection, the air in the pit was only four or five times higher than the normal mold level, and there were no other harmful gases. Although it may have tasted a little unpleasant, they decided not to use gills and oxygen in order to save supplies. Over time, they got used to the taste.

Zhang Xiaohu used the firelight to tell everyone what had just happened. The content of the golden flakes was even more frank, and he also took the golden tin box and showed it to everyone.

In the firelight, the golden flakes glowed with colorful lights, but from the outside, there was no indication that this thing had such a miraculous effect.

"Alas! If this thing had been discovered earlier, maybe Brother Wu wouldn't have died! Peng Jiadong suddenly sighed.

This sentence talked about Zhang Xiaohu's sore spot, in fact, not only Uncle Wu, but also Zhao Zixuan didn't have to go, in that case, there are now three more members of the team.

"No one thought that this thing would have such a great effect, this time it was Zhang Xiaozi's luck to find out!" King Peter looked at Zhang Xiaohu's expression of remorse and hurriedly added.

"But who put this thing?" Xu Haitao looked at the iron box in his hand and said suspiciously: "I don't remember that the Sacrifice Legion has such a bullish thing, if they master this technology, how can they use us to come here to carry out these infiltration tasks, with this technology alone, it is not to crush No. 4!" ”

"I also think it's strange that if the Western Pole were for us, everyone would have one in their backpack. But as everyone knows, we searched all the other backpacks just now, but we didn't find them. Therefore, this thing is likely to be prepared for us by other people or forces! Zhang Xiaohu expressed his opinion.

"Is there something other than the Engineer?" Song Haoze said.

"Quite possibly! I've always suspected that these engineers are probably not the real makers of this world! King Peter said, "I admit that the engineers are indeed superior to us, but there is also much they do not know about this world.

Do you remember the weird things we encountered when we were looking for a serum bank? How could it be possible to do all that with the crippled man of No. 2 and the surviving dragonmen, we should have thought at that time, maybe there were other helpers behind them! King Peter pondered for a moment, then continued: "And from the words of the engineers, they have been saying that they are from a planet on the other side of the galaxy, but they don't seem to be impressed by that planet, but only mention some of them in a few words, and they don't want to mention it?" Or do they only have vague concepts in their memories? ”

"Old Peter, what do you mean?" Zhang Xiaohu heard the meaning from King Peter's words.

"I'll tell you, listen," said King Peter, after a moment's hesitation, "engineers are also made, and the people who made them are the real masters of this world!" ”

"Quack!" With a bang, the spoon in Xu Haitao's hand fell to the ground. Xu Haitao exclaimed: "Mr. Peter Wang, your brain is so big!" You can be a good writer now! ”

"Your suggestion is good, when we get back, I really have the idea of becoming a writer!" Seeing that someone was praising him, King Peter laughed smugly.

Zhang Xiaohu listened to King Peter's words, and his mind was racing, maybe! It's possible! This......

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohu saw a strange black shadow on the wall in the tunnel, he immediately jumped up, turned on the light source on his shoulder to shine through, and shouted at the same time: "Who is there?" ”

Under the light, all five of them clearly saw a strange black shadow quickly disappear from the wall.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" Xu Haitao said nervously, the black shadow just now looked very strange, as if the black shadow was conscious, no wonder Xu Haitao asked this question.

Zhang Xiaohu and the others all turned on the lights and walked to the wall, and there was nothing unusual on the dusty wall. They checked the neighborhood again and found no suspicious footprints.

"It's weird!" Zhang Xiaohu folded his hands in prayer, he was both curious and terrified of these mysterious powers.

Peng Jiadong looked indifferent, and said: "Don't worry, no matter what that black shadow is, it has no ill will towards us, otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for him to take our lives, it's dark here, that is, the captain's eyes are good, and the rest of us can't find out about his existence at all!" ”

This dark shadow once again tightened everyone's relaxed mood.

However, as the night deepened, the deep tiredness could not stop surging.

It is still up to one person to watch the night, and the others sleep peacefully, and with the presence of flames, they can have a good rest tonight.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Xiaohu was called up by Song Haoze to be on duty at night.

Several people around were snoring, except for the corpses everywhere, there was no danger, Zhang Xiaohu simply threw his sleeping blanket on the wall, leaned on it, and held his weapon in his hand. The gun was covered with scratches, and during the daytime fall, the weapon was lost outside, and Xu Haitao picked it up for himself. In such an unknown environment, with a weapon in your hand, you can feel at ease.

In fact, he had been sleeping soundly just now, and he was always thinking about King Peter's words, and the mysterious black shadow, and he sighed lightly, and was about to eat some food, when suddenly, someone gently touched his shoulder.

He immediately became nervous, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He hurriedly glanced left and right from the corner of his eye, the four companions around him were all asleep, who was touching his shoulder, could it be that those monsters came back during the day, but he didn't hear the footsteps? And behind him is the wall, is it the dark shadow?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohu quietly opened the safety of the gun, and at the same time quickly turned around.

Under the light on his shoulder, there was no dark shadow on the wall behind him, but a string of strange symbols appeared under the rock wall.

These symbols seem to be the words that appeared on the strange map that I held when I was in the serum bank before, and I have never understood the meaning of this text.

It seems that King Peter's inference is most likely true, and that there really is a mysterious force in another position besides the engineer.

He looked around again, but to no avail, he returned to his blanket and sat up restlessly.

Someone obviously touched him just now, but what is the purpose? Is it just to greet yourself?

He jerked his hand into the pocket of his jacket, where he had placed the tin box with the golden flakes.

When he touched it, his heart immediately cooled!

There's still a metal tin box in my pocket, it's empty. It seems that it was the mysterious power that just made a move and took back the items that had been given to him.

I thought that with these golden flakes, in the next operation, I would be invincible and the difficulty would be reduced, but it seemed that the mysterious power was not ready to let these people complete this infiltration task so easily.

Is this a test? Zhang Xiaohu immediately thought of it in his mind. At the same time, he saw a terrifying and strange scene, in the flames of the spontaneous combustion lamp, a figure appeared, nodded at himself, and then disappeared!
