Chapter Forty-Seven: The World Under the Tree
The faint light should naturally be the light of nature from the branches and leaves of this huge "ghost tree" in the "ghost forest" filled with white mist.
From this, Bai Yunfei judged that he should be lying in the tree hole at this time.
"Cao Longxuan, this bastard, let them use a flamethrower, he told them to spray those octopus claw-like branches, damn, he actually sprayed directly at these people, isn't this going to spray us to death?"
Bai Yunfei's mind was already very flexible at this time, and he scolded Cao Longxuan in his heart, and then tried to move his limbs.
It's okay not to move, but as soon as he moved, Bai Yunfei groaned directly, and the pain all over his body made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.
It seems that the impact of this flamethrower is really not trivial, and besides, it is a blessing that it fell from such a tall branch and did not fall to its death.
Only then did Bai Yunfei remember to try to find out what was beneath him, whether it was the bottom of those hollow tree trunks, or the corpses that twinned inside this "ghost tree", or something else mysterious and evil?
Because he was wearing a single combat system, the heavy protective clothing on his body seriously blocked the feeling, so Bai Yunfei could only feel that his body was very hard, thinking that it should not be those corpses, since Cao Longxuan used a submachine gun to strafe the corpse, everyone saw that bright red blood flowed out of the corpse, they had already concluded that these corpses were also flesh and blood, and they could be killed by a gun, and it was impossible for the corpse to be as hard as a stone.
And the feeling that came from under him now was that kind of hard as stone, and it felt very flat.
What's the situation? Could it be that the corpses in this giant tree are treated differently? A stone coffin?
Bai Yunfei thought like this, curiosity drove him to move his hands and feet again, feeling that his arms and legs could move freely, Bai Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he was not seriously injured.
Bai Yunfei struggled to roll and twist his body, and finally reflexively got up and fell to the ground.
Bai Yunfei groped under him in this crouching position, although the feeling was very vague through the heavy gloves of the protective suit of the individual combat system, Bai Yunfei could already conclude that under him was a rocky "ground", neither a tree trunk nor a corpse.
Although the rock-like "ground" was very likely to be the coffin lid, Bai Yunfei could conclude that the hard rock under his body was definitely not the coffin lid, because by constantly expanding the scope of groping around, he realized that this could only be the real ground, and no matter how big the coffin lid was, it could not be so big.
Bai Yunfei was about to try to stand up, but suddenly his hand that was still groping seemed to touch a "person"?
Bai Yunfei was immediately frightened, and a cool breeze came out of his back, and he quickly dodged backwards like an electric shock.
Inside the window mask, Bai Yunfei heard his rapid breathing, obviously frightened.
It was only at this time that he reacted: the window on his individual combat system could be switched to the visual mode, and because the visible light mode was turned on before it fell, it was dark in this tree hole
In this case, it was naturally pitch black, and although there were occasional rays of light overhead, it was impossible to illuminate this deep tree hole.
He immediately turned on the infrared night vision mode and began to observe the surrounding situation, especially the direction of the "person" he had just touched.
At this time, the vision is red, but it does not affect the presentation of the overall scene, which is the benefit of infrared night vision mode.
In this infrared night vision mode, Bai Yunfei saw that the ground in front of him was all paved with stone bricks, which had obviously gone through thousands of years, and the erosion of wind and rain and years had made these stone bricks full of mottled and moss.
Many of the broken branches on the stone floor had been burned to ashes by the fire, and if any, they were scattered, apparently from the powerful flamethrowers.
And there is a person lying on his back on the ground in front of him, although the color of the clothes is not at all consistent with the original color in this night vision display mode, but the style of the clothes can still be seen.
The man lying on the ground was one of several of Podchin's men.
After seeing it clearly, Bai Yunfei finally breathed a long sigh of relief, just before he activated the infrared night vision mode, he suddenly touched this person's body in the dark environment, which didn't scare him half to death, he thought it was a twin corpse in a tree hole.
Bai Yunfei struggled to his feet, moved his body, and then began to walk towards the man who was Bo Deqin.
The clothes on this bandit are torn, the pants on the lower body are almost completely burned, and the military uniform on the upper body is also scattered, these are not the point, the point is that the ground around the head of this soldier and bandit is full of black and red blood, which has coagulated, obviously his head hit the ground, resulting in serious injuries and so much blood, especially the head is so badly injured, it is estimated that he will not survive.
Bai Yunfei bowed down and examined it, making sure that the person was indeed dead.
Bai Yunfei was a little sluggish, unable to tell what he was feeling in his heart.
When they first encountered these soldiers and bandits, they were enemies, and even tortured the "Earth Eight Immortals" expedition inhumanely, everyone longed for them to die, but seeing this living person, after becoming allies with everyone, died here tragically, I really don't know how to describe my inner feelings.
Bai Yunfei turned around again and looked around carefully, although the window was red, but the horizon was quite wide, so he immediately found some of his teammates.
At this time, some of the members of the "Eight Immortals of the Earth" fell to the ground in a coma, and some leaned weakly against the dark stone wall and rested there.
There are also two individual combat systems wearing spacesuits, walking around not far away, and they should not fall hard when they fall, so there is no major problem.
"Brother Wang, are you okay?" Bai Yunfei squatted to Wang Ziming, who was leaning against the stone wall, and asked by Wang Ziming's shoulder.
Hearing Bai Yunfei's call from the wireless communication system, Wang Ziming knew that the person in front of him wearing a spacesuit-like individual combat system turned out to be Bai Yunfei.
Wang Ziming inhaled a cold breath and smiled hard, and said, "It's damn damn, it hurts all over my body,
The impact of the flamethrower was so strong that I guess my ribs weren't broken, and my internal organs were also injured. ”
"Can you move now?" Bai Yunfei asked with concern.
"Yes, it just hurts." Wang Ziming moved, signaling that he could still move.
"How long have you been awake?" Bai Yunfei looked around, carefully searching for his teammates.
"Just woke up, Yunfei, are you injured?" Wang Ziming took off the medicine box he was carrying and checked it, making sure that the small medicine box and the medicines and utensils in it were not damaged, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Bai Yunfei swallowed another mouthful of sweet blood, not revealing his injuries at all.
While he was talking, Cao Longxuan was heard in the wireless communication system saying: "It's okay, Yunfei and Ziming, quickly put away the big guys, and treat the injured ones quickly." ”
Bai Yunfei turned his head to look, and in the red night vision mode, he saw Cao Longxuan holding Old Ghost Su and staggering towards their stone wall.
Wang Ziming struggled to get up, and after Bai Yunfei helped him up, Wang Ziming took the old ghost Su from Cao Longxuan's hand and asked him to sit next to the stone wall.
"Mo's thing, it's that I broke my foot when I fell down just now." Old Ghost Su's words made Bai Yunfei and Wang Ziming relax in their hearts.
Then the voices of other expedition members appeared in the wireless communication system one after another, and it was confirmed that Li Yulan and Niu Gang had no big problems, just a slight bruise, but Lu Wuyang, who had just woken up, was spewed by the fire dragon, which was just like making matters worse, and he fainted just now, and now it seems that the only one who did not make a sound was Han Debang.
After searching the periphery, Bai Yunfei found Han Debang lying unconscious on the two bandits.
So he hurriedly called Wang Ziming and rescued Han Debang, but fortunately, there was no major problem, and after Wang Ziming's treatment, he finally woke up.
Bai Yunfei probed the two bandits under Bo Deqin again, and found that one of them was dead, and although the other was able to move his body, he was seriously injured and needed more professional medical aid.
Cao Longxuan's submachine gun fell to the ground while fighting the "Ghost Tree King", so he took the submachine gun from the corpse of Bo Deqin's subordinates who fell into the huge tree hole together.
At this time, Bodchin flashed out of the gloomy corner, and said with some excitement and some horror: "The underground palace, the ancient tomb, there is a big one in front, I found it." ”
"Where?" Cao Longxuan's voice came from the wireless communication system, and it was obvious that he was shocked by this unexpected discovery.
"Right ahead." Bodchin gestured with his hand in one direction.
Bai Yunfei turned on the flashlight that Wang Ziming was carrying, and shone it in the direction that Bo Deqin was pointing, and found that this was a space like a huge patio, and in the direction that Bo Deqin pointed to, there was an undulating staircase that led to the darkness, surrounded by stone walls engraved with many charms and words, and only this stone staircase passage led to the unknown realm.
"Your subordinate is too seriously injured, if you still let him follow us, it will seriously drag us down." Cao Longxuan took off the individual combat system, sorted out the packaging, and then
Behind him, he carried the gun on his body and said to Podchin without expression.
Bodchin gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Leave him alone, let him die!" ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't know how to answer his words, and saw that the passage in front of them was indeed the style of the underground palace passage, and everyone was also anxious to explore the way, so they packed up their equipment and explored ahead.
Before leaving, Bai Yunfei looked at the bandit, and asked Wang Ziming to briefly treat his injuries, and then left some water for him, and left.
When Cao Longxuan didn't care whether everyone could be injured or not, he used a flamethrower to save everyone from the strange and evil branch group, some of the people fell hard, and some fell lightly, but except for one of Bo Deqin's subordinates, who was too seriously injured and had died, the others were not so seriously injured that they needed to lie down for treatment and affect their movements, so the "Eight Immortals" expedition team plus Bo Deqin and one of his men, now a total of ten people, began to explore the unknown territory ahead.
The space like the "patio" they fell from is relatively large, and it is under the hollow trunk of the "Ghost Tree King" that it is connected to the hollow trunk above to form a trapezoidal space, and the lower it goes, the wider it becomes.
The trapezoidal space was made of that kind of stone brick all around and on the ground, except for one direction, which was not completely made of stone bricks, but had a passage that extended deep into the dark underground.
This passage is not only paved with stone blocks consistent with this trapezoidal space, but also the steps that go down step by step, walking down with a flashlight, I found that the temperature here may be too cool, not like the trapezoidal space can directly exchange hotter air with the outside world, so there is wet and moldy moss all over the place, and there is no moss on these steps, no wonder everyone has adapted to the hot climate outside, and is a little shivering by the cold space here.
