Chapter 25: The Strange City
Ning Ol sat on a park bench and watched the people passing by in groups of three or five, frolicking and playing, so unhappy.
But he couldn't be happy, he felt very anxious, put his hands in front of him, and his two thumbs circled rapidly.
He's waiting for someone, but who's waiting for him?
I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened, and the person he was waiting for had not yet come.
The street lights lit up with a 'snap', and the pedestrians were gone, and Ning Ol didn't care.
He knew that the person he was waiting for was about to appear!
With excitement and fear, he looked at the end of the stone road, and under the flickering street lamp, a woman stepped out.
A graceful and dignified woman, with long hair fluttering behind her, a pair of flickering almond eyes, a smile, and pink lips shining with sparkling......
The street lamp became brighter, and a small figure appeared next to the woman, a little girl who was exactly the same as a woman, wearing a high ponytail, holding the woman's hand, and jumping towards Ning Yu.
"Dad~!" She shouted sweetly.
Ning Ol's heart skipped a few beats, and he felt a great joy in his heart......
"Xiaoman!" He shouted, trying to stand up to meet them.
But he couldn't move!
At this moment, a tall black shadow suddenly appeared behind them! With some kind of weapon, he slashed a woman to the ground, and then slashed like a girl.
The woman fell to the ground in response, and was covered in blood again in an instant, stretching out her long arms, her fingers like dead branches, struggling to point at Ning Alcohol, "Run......
"Xiaoman!" Ning Ol screamed frantically, he tried to break free from this sticky chair!
His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he just couldn't break free.
The black shadow grinned......
"Academician? Academician? ”
Lu Xu pushed Ning Ol's sleeping bag and looked at Ning Ol who was sweating profusely with concern.
Ning Ol woke up from the nightmare and found himself lying in a sleeping bag, drenched in sweat.
"Ah......h
Yes, today is another difficult day.
According to the original plan, I was going to enter that 'city' today, and that was the real destination.
Luo Yang and Wang Yi firmly believe that the city in the pit is the future world.
They even think that we have entered the space of the future.
Scold! Nothing short of nonsense!
Ning Yu thought indignantly, and recalled the nightmare just now, and couldn't help but shudder.
It had been a long time since he had a nightmare like this, and he hadn't dreamed of her for a long time......
He was thinking about it when he found that Lu Xu had already packed his luggage and equipment and was staring at him.
Lu Xu's eyes revealed a sense of indifference, not the innocent smiling face and the sincerity that could not be concealed in his impression.
Ning Alcohol was already somewhat familiar with this kind of look, and since Luo Yang broke into the Four Love Base, Lu Xu had been weird.
I can't say anything strange, just something is abnormal.
The occasional look in the eyes or expressions gives people the impression of being eerie and terrifying.
Maybe I'm really old and I'm under too much mental pressure. Ning Ol comforted himself, "Solve this mystery and retire." ’
After a hurried breakfast, the group set off.
Ning Ol was still very satisfied with Scar's guard, the night was calm, there was no wind and grass, Luo Yang and the young man named Wang Yibian looked very reliable.
Although they agreed that it was the 23rd century, the possibility was too low, they didn't understand that time travel required too much, and that the physical limits of human beings were difficult to bear unless there was a god......
Ning Ol knew that as a scientific researcher, he should have the consciousness of accepting infinite possibilities, but he really didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't imagine that the scientific research results of most of his life were overturned like this.
If this is the case, then what is the previous sacrifice?
He thought to himself as they reached the top of the mountain again.
Luo Yang took out the infrared telescope, handed it to Ning Alcohol, and pointed to a huge billboard for Ning Alcohol to take a closer look.
"You are about to usher in the 24th century,
You should change your mind and live in the moment! ”
The handwriting on the billboard is clearly visible.
Ning Yu was frightened, a wave of confusion and melancholy flooded his heart, and suddenly he seemed to suddenly open up again, and his eyes were shining.
"Miracles! What a miracle! ”
"Miracles?" Luo Yang looked at Ning Alcohol with incredible eyes, and his eyebrows were about to be twisted together.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he felt that Ning Yu was crazy.
Ning Yu didn't care about his age, nor did he care about any decent behavior, whether he had lost his identity, he smiled, and then scratched his ears and cheeks, acting like an excited child.
Indeed, the mystery of many years is about to be solved!
The answer, perhaps, is below! Right in this seemingly lifeless city!
The tall blonde muttered something impatiently to Scar, who nodded frequently.
"I'm asking you very seriously now, do you really want to go down?" He brought the players together.
"Of course it's going down!" Lu Xu said.
"There could be danger down there." Scar swept over the old and weak women and children, and accentuated his tone, "No, there must be danger." ”
"That's what you said yesterday." Lu Xu grabbed Bai and said, "Isn't this also good?" Maybe the previous team has already entered and is waiting for us. ”
"Huh." Scar smiled silently, as if waiting for Ning Ol to come up with an idea.
Ning Ol also didn't understand, where did the so-called danger come from?
Lu Xu rolled his eyes and continued: "It's not that you guys are too troublesome and don't want to go down, right?" ”
Scar raised an eyebrow, "You weak scholars, have you ever seen blood?" He walked over to the blurred pool of black flesh on the ground, pointed to it, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”
Dr. Gao squatted down and took a closer look, his voice becoming a little trembling, "This...... This ......"
Sister Ping took a closer look, turned her head and began to vomit.
"This is the previous team. I'm waiting for you here. Scar squinted and smiled, looking at Lu Xu with a gloating expression.
Lu Xu reacted for two seconds, and jumped away in a flash, scolding in his mouth.
Scar continued, "No one can guess what will happen below, but if you must go down, you must be at my disposal. If you let you go, you have to go immediately, let you hide, just don't make a sound, but if you can't do it, you will not only put your own life into it, but also harm the whole team! ”
Everyone listened silently, and Ning Alcohol was also afraid, but he had a reason to go down.
Ning Yu looked at Luo Yang, his face was so familiar, and his eyes were so confused and tenacious......
Yes, Ning Ol must go down.
"It's natural, we'll just let you arrange it." Ning Alcohol said on behalf of everyone.
"Okay, you just understand," Scar pulled out the dagger at his waist, "If you can't do it, then don't blame me, sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living." ”
Although the scar is very rough, it makes sense to think about it carefully.
The group found a steep barely passable road on the edge of the cliff, as if many people often walked and climbed here.
This brought a lot of convenience to the team, although there were old and weak women and children in the team, but it was better to go down the mountain than to climb the mountain.
After about half a day, everyone finally came to the bottom of the pit.
Ning Alcohol raised his head and stood in the pit to look at the sky, in fact, there was no difference, the sky was still blue and blue, and the light in the city was abundant.
Because the pit is so large that it can be understood as a small basin, the surrounding cliffs cannot block the sunlight at all.
The fact that your feet can be on the ground again is a happy sense of steadiness, and looking at this empty city, Ning Mellow urgently needs to get close to it.
The city is really not modern, it is noticeably more comfortable, neater and more ...... More sense of technology.
Escorted by Team Scar, they looked around in amazement.
"It's amazing to live here...... Dr. Gao thought to himself, running to the side of the road from time to time, touching the trees and looking at the flowers and plants.
"Miracles...... There are miracles. Ning Ol sighed.
"Academician, why do you say it's a miracle?"
"Because that's what humans haven't been able to achieve so far." Ning Ol began his own theory, "This power is too powerful, although we don't know God's intentions yet, but we have come in, and we are closer to God." ”
Sister Ping took over: "Teacher Ning, according to what you mean, God wants us to come in, what do you collect?" ”
Ning Alcohol shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”
The group was very relaxed and even a little happy.
No matter what Ning Ol said or explained, this is indeed another scene, an unknown territory.
Ning Ol didn't care what happened to the people in the previous team, he just wanted to know what this unknown force was and what his intentions were.
"What does it smell like?" Ling Long asked, covering his nose.
"The smell of rot." Luo Yang explained.
"What's rotten?"
As they walked deeper into the city, the smell in the air became stronger and stronger, Luo Yang stopped talking, and the Scar team became more vigilant.
The Asian 'forensics' opened a small shop, and they decided to stay here for now, rest and recuperate before going out to see what was going on.
There was no electricity in the store, so Lao Hei and the two blonde men cautiously and cautiously checked inside and out, and made an OK gesture.
After a long journey for most of the day, everyone found a comfortable place to rest, and almost collapsed.
Ning Ol looked at the shop, not researching what it was used for.
It doesn't have a lot of space, only a boxy room, two doors at the front and back, and iron bars on the windows, maybe Scar values the small room, and it seems to be solid, and it's safer.
The smell in the room is very fragrant, so sweet that people are very sleepy and relaxed, everyone smells it, but after looking for a long time, they still can't find the source of the aroma.
On one side of the wall lay two large oval sofas, which were as soft as beds.
On the wall facing the main entrance, there was a white cabinet full of bottles and cans, and Ning Alcohol really didn't have the energy to study it carefully.
He tried to lie down on the round sofa, and instantly felt light and fluttery, and a sense of comfort that spread throughout his body swept over him.
The aches and pains caused by sleeping on the cold ground the night before were also relieved.
After a long day of tossing and turning, he fell asleep comfortably.
