Chapter 184: Oasis
Everyone stands on the "land crane". Ever since the secret of this space was discovered, the blue stone has never been put away.
However, Zhang Xiaohu and the others all found that as time passed, the stone emitted a blue light, and the range became smaller and smaller. It has changed from about 10 meters at the beginning to more than 5 meters now, a decrease of half of the range.
The range is barely enough to keep the overland traffic going, and in a few minutes at most they will have to abandon the vehicle and have to move on foot.
Five minutes later, the overland car began to shake. Xiji immediately ordered, everyone quickly put away the land truck, lined up in two rows, and continued to march due north, because the range of blue light is limited, some people can only follow the people in front of them in the dark, in order to prevent someone from falling behind, everyone has a rope fixed around their waists.
Zhang Xiaohu was worried that the blue light emitted by this stone would weaken again, but his worry was confirmed to be superfluous, the blue light shrank to a distance of 3 meters, and it would no longer change, this range could only be stuffed into the appearance of a dozen people, and the West Pole pulled Zhang Xiaohu, Zhao Zixuan, Peter Wang and other perfect test subjects, staying in the middle, surrounded by eight warriors,
Even more strange things happened, people staying in the blue light range can use machines and lights, but the illumination range of the lights is also locked to three meters, as long as they exceed this distance, they will quickly dissipate.
This darkness seems to possess magical magic that can dissolve all external forces.
Because everyone can only see the situation three meters away, and they have to pay extra attention to the people behind them, everyone's speed is not ideal. Xiji looked anxiously at the watch on his wrist several times, and the time passed minute by minute, but there was no other more effective way at present.
"It's scary! Lao Zhang! Zhao Zixuan and Zhang Xiaohu walked side by side, this feeling is very strange, when a person can only see three meters away, all the scenes are jumping and appearing quickly, normal people will also feel frightened and depressed.
"Hold on! We're lucky! Zhang Xiaohu explained: "If it weren't for this precious gift from the elders, we would still have to endure the darkness now, and that would be the most terrifying!" ”
"Of course I know, but at our speed, when will we be able to get to the exit you said!" Zhao Zixuan said.
"Commander-in-chief, wait a minute, I'll take a look at the map!" Zhang Xiaohu said, took out the map from his arms, and spread it out under the light to look at it. Sure enough, as he had expected, the map had changed again, the original shaft had disappeared, and now there was a claw-like shape on the map, representing their current location, they were in the center of the space, and the map also showed that there was a large tree-shaped mark not far from them.
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly told Xiji about this discovery.
Xi Ji pondered for a while, and immediately made a decision, since the distance is not far, it is better to simply go over and take a look, maybe there will be other gains. This opportunity also allows everyone to take a break, and it has been a few hours since they entered the shaft, and everyone's nerves have been highly concentrated. Only a proper rest can ensure that the follow-up situation can be resolved more calmly.
Zhang Xiaohu identified the direction, pointed to the northwest, and the west pole fixed the direction at the watch, and everyone returned to the road.
After ten minutes of tightness, a pile of stones appeared in the blue light range. As we continued along, thick layers of bryophytes appeared in the crevices of the stones.
And the blue light doesn't know what to stimulate, the originally reduced light range has gradually recovered, and it is larger than before, it has reached more than 20 meters, and an oasis growing on the rocky beach appeared in front of everyone.
Reddish-brown sandy soil, covered with large and small cyan stones.
There were four twisted and hovering strange trees growing on the sandy soil, there was not a single leaf on the trees, and on the dry branches, there were many brown fruits, all of which were shiny and full in appearance!
In a depression, there is a palm-sized pool, and under the light, the clear spring water is no more than a centimeter deep. Two strange little reptiles, the size of a hare, dragged a thick tail, and their square heads were covered with thin scales, and in the center of the skull, there were two large nostrils, which were shaking slightly. Two big yellow eyes, curiously looking at the people who broke in.
"It's so cute!" Chenyi not only praised.
"Lord God, your aesthetics are simply amazing!" Zhao Zixuan teased on the side: "No wonder you take a fancy to Lao Zhang!" ”
"No kidding, go see if you can eat those fruits!" Zhang Xiaohu pushed Zhao Zixuan aside, and he himself walked to the waterhole, staring at the two strange creatures.
The creatures weren't at all afraid of these massive intruders, but kept shaking their heads, looking a little cute indeed.
However, Zhang Xiaohu did not dare to touch these creatures easily, since he came to this world, he has learned an important truth: "Be cautious in everything, it is better to be brave than to be dead!" Use your brain more and rely less on your own feelings when encountering problems! As the saying goes, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, this truth remains unchanged for eternity! ”
The two strange beasts saw that Zhang Xiaohu didn't make any other movements, they simply put their heads into the waterhole and drank the water happily.
"Could these be the children of those dragonmen!" Zhao Zixuan guessed maliciously.
"Dragons are the same as us, they are also higher creatures, how could they give birth to such primitive lives, don't talk nonsense, you kid!" King Peter dissatisfied.
"You know what! My mother said that when children are first born, they all look like little monkeys! That's because we evolved as monkeys! Dragons, dragons are in front, they must have evolved from dinosaurs, what's the difference between babies like dragons, you're still a student of biological, the diploma is bought! ”
"Lao Zhao, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhao Zixuan helplessly and said, "Look at what everyone thinks of you!" ”
Zhao Zixuan looked back and found that everyone was looking at him with a smile, he blushed, and immediately explained: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously, I'm also a person who went to school, and it was all nonsense just now!" ”
"Zhao Zixuan, if you don't say it, I forgot that you still went to school!" Xu Haitao said with a smile on the side.
"Go! Go! There are you everywhere, you don't have much ability, but your ears are quite long! Zhao Zixuan said dissatisfied.
They were joking with each other by the waterhole.
Xiji took his own people and discussed the follow-up under a tree. Attrition is too fast, which is the most difficult problem at the moment.
The fifteen people who have died so far are all from the side of the victims. And Zhang Xiaohu's side not only did not have any losses, but also added eight or nine people, and now the number of people on both sides is basically equal, although Xiji is not worried that Zhang Xiaohu will cause danger to himself, but after all, he needs to plan well, so that these victims can cheer up, and in the next action, they must protect their own safety. At the same time, she also decided that there were some dangerous tasks that needed to be shared by Zhang Xiaohu's side.
After knowing that Xiji was intersex, Yan Cannon became a little silent, and most of the time he just wandered out of the crowd with the people of the Wu family, responsible for some pathfinding and guarding tasks.
Zhang Xiaohu understands that this Uncle Yan has not yet come out of the emotional injury, but this kind of emotional matter, he is an ignorant teenager who can't explain it clearly, and he can't enlighten him. But as the book says, "Every time you are injured, you grow and move forward!" Every time you are injured, you will be strong and brave! He sincerely hoped that Uncle Yan would be able to come out as soon as possible.
