Chapter Eighty-Five: The Black Wind
The boulder staircase was not shabby, nor was it damp, it seemed very old, but it was as clean as new, not even a speck of dust.
This is exactly what makes the witcher team feel weird, and the steps that have been hidden underground for a long time should not be like this.
It's too clean and it's too quiet.
The team members who opened the road at the front walked ninety steps and stopped at the hundredth step of this entrance, and Xue Ba made another report that he didn't know if he could send it out: "Command center, we reached the hundredth step, and we still didn't find anything." ”
100 steps, no change! The angles and proportions of all the stone steps remain the same, and there is still not a single crack in the natural stone wall.
If it weren't for the fact that the light at the entrance had disappeared, if there weren't sixteen people testifying together, and if someone had specifically spoken out and counted the steps, it would have made one think that he was standing still.
"It's really incredible......," Lin Mo sighed while lying on the stretcher. He is the scientific research leader of the team, and he knows a little about geology and architecture, and even those who don't understand it understand that it is difficult to build such a tunnel even with modern machinery.
Where are these tunnels and walls created?
A few bright flashlights illuminate the surroundings, but they can't illuminate the darkness below.
Is this an endless tunnel?
Everyone was a little silent at this time, Xue Ba was keenly aware of this rising depression, and said after the report: "Uncle Dan, let's tell a joke, is there any meat?" ”
Xue Ba knows what "this is just an authentic way, don't be afraid" This kind of nonsense is nonsense, but the joke can alleviate the dull atmosphere.
"Yes!" Uncle Dan naturally understood, his amiable round face pretended to be ambiguous, and the remaining handful of hair on the top of his head seemed to stand up, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you about the time I met a female netizen, a real person ......and a real story."
Soon everyone chuckled, but Gu Jun didn't listen, he kept walking in the middle of the line with the front of the stretcher, and his mind was gradually attracted by the dark red fine lines of the surrounding boulder surface, and he felt more and more blood flowing in it.
vitality, he felt a strong vitality.
Is it the illusion that you're moving? Gu Jun asked Zhang Huogang, who was behind the stretcher, to stop together, and then looked around, the feeling was clearly getting heavier......
Suddenly, something seemed to brush his face, and every tiny pore was standing in horror.
"Wind ......," Gu Jun muttered, "There is wind...... It's windy! He hurriedly shouted, "Captain Xue, there's a wind blowing." ”
Windy? Everyone immediately paid attention in disbelief, but they didn't feel it, and even Lin Mo, Uncle Dan and Zhang Huogang, who were next to Gu Jun, said that they didn't notice it.
The team member holding a small air detector over there also shook his head, the data was unchanged, still confusingly stable. The further underground, the lower the oxygen should be.
But Xue Ba didn't dare to despise it, the thick eyebrows on Fang's face furrowed, what does Gu Jun's inspiration mean?
Uncle Dan has another consideration as the team doctor, is Gu Jun hallucinating? Everyone's S-value status is not visible from the outside......
"It's breathing...... Gu Jun is still thinking about his feelings, "It's this tunnel that is breathing, and we wake it up." ”
"Huh?" "Breathe the tunnel?" Everyone looked at each other, after getting along for the past two days, everyone had already made a lot of jokes with each other, and Xiao Ning suddenly laughed and scolded downstairs: "Boy, aren't you a good doctor who can't decorate the artist?" ”
"No, it's really windy......" Gu Jun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, just because he clearly felt the breathing and even heartbeat of the stones around him.
He also clearly felt the wind, and he hurriedly said: "Let's take shelter to the side, the wind is very strong!" ”
"Listen to Jun!" Although Xue Ba was puzzled, he immediately shouted, "Hold each other's hands and sit down against the wall!" Ah Jun, Huo Gang, you put the stretcher behind you and hold it on top, grab the stretcher, and the people on both sides also grab it. ”
All members of the team acted immediately, and they all hid with Gu Jun on the left hand side of the stairs, and sat down to form a human wall against the wall. Only Gu Jun and Zhang Huogang, two young and powerful guys, grabbed the stretcher with both hands and blocked in front.
After a dozen seconds of silence, their hearts tensed, and their breathing became rough with the uncertainty of whether a nightmare would come.
Just so suddenly, the pores of each team member can be felt, and the wind ...... There was a wind blowing from the depths of the tunnel.
Almost at the same time, a raging wind rumbled and howled, completely overwhelming them in an instant, and the tremendous force of the wind blew the things of the squad to pieces, and almost lifted them up, and the rumbling wind seemed to be mixed with some mysterious whisper, which swept through their ears, crying, howling, incantation......
"Everyone's holding on!" Xue Ba shouted violently, shouting so much that the muscles and muscles all over his body jumped, "Don't let go, don't listen to that voice!" ”
Except for Lin Mo, who was bound to the stretcher, everyone was already sitting in place with all their might, and they were trying not to pay attention to the weird and crazy sound.
But they saw that the storm had a color, a dark color......
Wind is the flow of air, the human eye should not see the color, those black are not air, but a lot of other substances mixed with the wind.
A wave of horror immediately rose in their hearts, it was direct skin-to-skin contact, and they had sucked the substance directly into their bodies.
"Don't worry about it yet, hold on!" Xue Ba shouted again, but his voice seemed so faint in the wind, like a mist that would dissipate at any time.
At the same time, Gu Jun's head began to ache, as if countless indescribable scenes were pouring into the depths of his mind......
Weird, freaked, terrifying...... This feeling had only been felt that day at the bottom of Longkan, when he saw the half-man-high pinnacle rock......
"Ah......h
It's power, a force of life......
He saw countless figures in the wind.
Gu Jun's strange appearance did not attract much attention from others, because at this moment, he was not the only one who shouted, Lou Xiaoning let out a whimper like a sleepy beast, and Xue Ba was still shouting and holding on, they used their strength and will.
However, this wind did not end for a while, half an hour later, it was still whistling, and an hour later, it was still roaring.
By this time, even Xue Ba, who was the largest and had the strongest physical strength, had been almost destroyed by the wind, and his hoarse voice could no longer shout. And Uncle Dan, Zhang Huogang and others are just relying on one breath to hold on, once this breath is discharged, they can only let the wind take it away......
The gloomy emotions quietly crept into the hearts of everyone, but people were so small in front of abnormal forces.
Suddenly, Xue Ba saw it, Uncle Dan saw it, and Lou Xiaoning also saw it...... Gu Jun let go of his hands gripping the stretcher and staggered to his feet.
Everyone was surprised and puzzled to see that although Gu Jun was crumbling, he did not fall......
In the midst of the raging wind, he walked to the middle of the steps where he was, looked into the depths of the tunnel, and uttered a strange language.
