Chapter 48: Heavy Rain
Because of K's thing, everyone panicked a little.
I didn't expect that this young man would really do it.
He said that he would wait until everyone woke up to make a decision, but at dawn, there was a silence outside the hole, and when we rushed out, we saw K lying on the ground, with blood on his chest and eyebrows.
We don't explain it, and we don't bother with it.
We moved K deep into the woods and covered it with branches as a farewell.
Thanks to him for so many days of guarding and protection, I hope heaven is harmless.
The grief did not last long, for what Wang and I found in the waterhole was astonishing.
I couldn't see it well during the day, not as obvious as it was at night, but when I shone my flashlight into the depths of the pool, there was a purple-gold glow.
I don't know how to do it, and the king volunteered to go down and touch the ghost.
I was very nervous, but Carl and Cangtu's stature was too strong, not as delicate as Wang Yi, and there would be a lot of inconvenience in the relatively small space in the deep water. Although we can see that after Wang Yiyi undressed, the muscles on his body are very strong, and he is typically thin in his clothes and fleshy in his undressing.
I don't think I have the intention of participating at all, so I can only let the king go into the water with a hard head, and tell me that you must be careful.
He gave me a mischievous smile and got into the water.
We tied a rope around his waist and dragged him up if he didn't come up for two minutes.
He held a stone and swam into the depths very dexterously, and the flashlight could no longer shine on him.
Every minute and every second was so painful that I suddenly began to worry what if there were monsters in there. It's not wide, but it's deep! Especially there are many strange rocks down there, what if he gets stuck? What if there are highly poisonous creatures in the water?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, it seemed as if he had been sinking for a year, and my palms were sweating slightly.
"How long?" I asked.
"One minute and 15 seconds." Lu Xu looked at his watch and said.
The water began to bubble with a bang, and then, finally, unharmed, he emerged from the water.
His skin was white and shivering, and he was clutching a small bag in his hand, heavy and dripping with water, and the thin fabric shone with a dull purple-gold light.
Wang Yiyi handed the bag of charm to Ning Alcohol, and hurriedly put on his clothes.
"O ghost! It's a real charm! Ning Ol took the finger-sized crystal and looked at it carefully.
"Great!" Sister Ping was very excited, "How do you use this thing?" How can I save my husband? ”
In the face of her burning gaze, I had a flash of inspiration, "Just put it on your body." ”
She took a slightly larger piece of the charm and ran back to the tent in a hurry.
"Are you sure? Just put it on your body? Cangtu raised an eyebrow and asked me.
I seriously recalled the other 'me' when he had pulled it out of a pocket beside me and showed it to me.
Thinking of this, I nodded firmly, "Yes, just take it with you." Let's bring one for everyone! ”
"Shall we bring it too?" Lu Xu asked.
"Of course! Bring it with you! I said, "Who knows who will be next after Dr. Gao?" With self-defense! ”
I don't know where the inspiration came from, but I always feel that this thing is very close to me, and when I touch it, I feel indescribably comfortable, and I feel that this is the panacea, which relieves all my negative emotions and fills me with confidence.
Everyone took a piece, and I suddenly remembered another hint from me: Could it be that I was wrong?
This stone, if it is a consumable, how is it consumed? Can I consume it with it? Should I use it?
"How many ghosts are down there?" Ning Alcohol asked Wang Yi.
"Many, many, all over the stone wall."
"What else is down there?" I asked.
"Everything. If you have gold, go down and get it. ”
"Can you come up empty-handed with gold?"
We assigned all the charms and brought them with us, I have a question I want to ask everyone, and I was afraid that Sister Ping would be too careful, so I only pulled Ning Alcohol aside alone: "Academician Ning, is there any use for this charm?" ”
"Usage? What usage? ”
"Like, how did you eat it, or where did you grind it up?"
"Haha, you think too much, look at this hardness and toughness, can you eat it? I'm afraid you won't digest it. Ning Ol smiled, holding a charm in his hand, and slid it towards the stone with all his might.
A mark appeared on the stone, but the charm was undamaged.
I nodded, and it seemed that I was overly concerned.
In any case, this so-called consumable has finally been found, although I don't know how to consume it, but it can be regarded as a small achievement.
The sun had already risen, and we had a hasty breakfast and set off on a plan of action that had been customized the night before.
Wang and I walked not very far, the intertwined roots and trees of various shapes were too dense and too dense to walk, especially in the valley, the terrain was low-lying, we went deeper, and gradually walked into a swamp, facing the green water and the shadows of the trees reflected on the water, we decided to return to the hillside and bypass this dangerous swamp.
"Do you know how I got the Charm?" Wang Yiyi asked me suddenly.
"How did you get it? Didn't you dive down and get it? "I was asked by him in a puzzled way.
He shook his head like a rattle.
"There is a space-time crack under the waterhole, and I see the city, our city."
Hearing this, I almost jumped up, this is a major discovery! How could he say it now?
Wang Yiyi looked at my surprised look and laughed: "I can only barely get this charm in the crack of time and space distortion, do you think it will make a difference if I said it earlier?" ”
"Is it the scene I saw in the village before?" I asked.
He nodded.
At this time, the originally clear sky was shrouded in thick dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
We quickened our pace and prepared to return to the cave.
The rain in this valley was very urgent, really like splashing with a scoop, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down, and after a while, the eardrums were filled with the sound of crackling rain.
Almost instantly, we were doused with chickens, and within a short trot, we were soaked from head to toe.
Instead of going back along the valley we came from, we chose a gentle hillside because there was already a lot of water under the valley and we were worried about unnecessary danger.
The hillside was a bit slippery, and even if we ran as hard as we could, we would inevitably have to be distracted by our feet, so our speed was not fast, but we still hoped that the thunder in the sky would come down later.
I was thinking about when the thunder would strike, when an incandescent bolt of lightning, like a large pair of silver scissors, cut the black clouds into several parts, and then a few seconds later, a deafening thunder rolled in.
"It's a funeral!"
The unstoppable invective in our mouths almost crawled on......
Suddenly, I saw a white shadow on a tree not far away, flashing by.
I was stunned for a moment, suspecting that I had seen it wrong, I stood there and looked carefully in that direction, and there was indeed something hanging on a crooked-necked tree not far away, which was obviously not a gift from nature, but a heritage of human civilization.
I grabbed the unsteady Wang and pointed to the white shadow at him, and he was surprised, so we braved the heavy rain and the terrible thunder to walk towards the crooked neck tree.
The tree is on a higher hillside, and it doesn't look far, but on this rainy day, the ground is muddy, and it is difficult to walk.
On two occasions I almost fell, but luckily I had strong teammates who helped me twice behind me before rolling down the slippery hill.
When we finally reached the bottom of the tree, I found that it was a white coat, tattered, obviously in the wind and sun for many days, tied to the branch of an outer neck tree, swaying from side to side and fluttering in the howling wind.
It's strange, who hung it up?
The jacket looks strange and definitely not our teammate's.
Does that mean that there are other people here, people from our world? Or the people in this space?
Wang and I walked around the city, and sure enough, near the top of the mountain, we found a small cave.
There are obvious signs of man-made concealment, with tree branches neatly obscuring the entrance to the cave, leaving only a small entrance.
Wang and I glanced at each other, there are people here!
Cautiously, we raised our weapons and walked towards the hole.
"Anyone?" I stood at the entrance of the cave, weapon in hand, peeling off the branches and shining as far as I could.
There was no response.
"Anyone? We are the research group of the four love group! Hear it, please answer! ”
There was still no sound but my reply.
I looked back at Wang, who was cautious and nodded at me.
I nodded, ready to touch in.
I leaned closer to the hole again, clutching my gun tightly to guard against the beast that suddenly burst out.
I thought in my heart that there should be no one in this hole.
Maybe they're all dead. Look at the coat, it's been hanging there for at least three weeks.
I didn't rush to hide in the cave, I feared that some kind of beast had taken over the hole, and although this guess was unlikely from the concealment at the entrance, it was always good to be cautious.
I tried my best to shine the flashlight into the cave, and found that the hole was not big, an oval cave about four or five meters deep, and I could see the end at a glance.
I took pictures left and right, and there was nothing.
There is not a shadow of a living creature.
"Come in, there's nothing." I said, stepping into the cave.
Wang Yiyi also caught up with me, and we hurriedly hid in, leaving the pouring rain outside the cave.
"Looks like this place has been abandoned......" I was saying when there was a commotion behind me!
There was a crackling sound, and I quickly turned around, and found that Wang Yiyi had fallen to the ground, and I didn't know whether he was dead or alive! And where he came, there was a man standing!
This man is pointing Wang's gun and flashlight at me......
What's the situation? I've seen it all, but there's no one!
"Bang-" Seeing that I was about to raise my weapon to fight back, this man shot me in the foot. He shouted, "Don't move! ”
Is it a woman?!
