Chapter 21: We Are in the Kitchen
Lacey took the lead, and we slowly stepped on the stone steps, which were born on the cliff, and the flashlight could only shine a dozen meters away, and next to it was a deep black abyss, which felt no better than standing on the void.
Still moving forward slowly in fear, for fear that if he accidentally slipped a little, he would fall in half and three.
Everyone was not talking, and they kept moving forward one by one, and there was a slight breeze blowing up from the darkness under the cliff, which made it even more secluded.
"Laixi, turn on the headlights and look at your feet, it's a bit weird to be black," Zhao Dong said.
Lacey said slowly, "We have to get used to this darkness, try to save the light source, I don't know how many days we have to stay in this darkness."
"How many days? A day or two will be enough", Wan Camel asked weakly.
Lacey ignored him, I was afraid of being embarrassed, so I hurriedly said, "According to the rules, the team members must obey Lacey's command, only Lacey has experience in surviving in large caves, and now it is good to not see under his feet, and he may be more scared if he sees it."
"It's just that it's better not to look at it, I'm a little afraid of heights," Ma Li said.
"Let's pick up the song, it's not so boring to walk while singing", Zhao Dong proposed.
Lacey immediately stopped, "Be quiet and observe your surroundings, singing will be distracting and consume physical strength, now you have to save your physical strength and improve your concentration"
Zhang San began to joke again, "You can sing ~~~~~~ peony when it falls down, the most vivid among the flowers, I'm afraid you can only say a sentence, and the second half of the sentence will go to the underworld to sing."
"Bah, it's not okay to say something nice, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth", I was always afraid that the omen would be bad, so I hurriedly snorted three times.
"You spit ivory out of your mouth?" , Zhang San asked me rhetorically.
"I can't spit it out",
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, didn't I admit that I was a dog? I was about to scold back, but when I looked up, I saw that Bai Xue's shoulder in front of Zhang San twitched lightly twice, as if he was laughing.
As long as I can make Bai Xue smile, my heart is happy.
"Stop making noise, be quiet", Lacey got angry earlier, so he began to walk slowly with his head stuffed again.
The stone steps meander down the mountain, and I don't know if I have walked hundreds or thousands of steps, but it still seems that there is no end.
Walking against the mountain wall like this is particularly physically demanding, the equipment on the back is heavy, and the main thing is panic, afraid that if you accidentally stumble, it will become a thousand years of hatred.
After three hours of walking, with four breaks in between, we finally came to the end of the stone steps with a heavy breath.
It was a platform the size of a basketball court, and it was still pitch black outside, and we all sat here to rest. Looking up, the light from the headlamp doesn't shine far at all.
Lacey lit the camp lantern and stood on the periphery looking around.
He couldn't do that without rest, and I shouted at him, "Lacey, come and take a break."
My shouting was not loud, but it also provoked a small echo in the open underground, like the echo of our shouting under the bridge, which indicated that there was no space around, and that there must be a ring not far away
Circumambulating the mountain wall, have we reached the bottom of the mountain? This mountain is not as high as it seems.
Lacey didn't look at me, but slowly raised her hand into a fist, stretched out her index finger and slowly drew a few circles upwards!! It was a pre-agreed action, but I forgot what it meant, and I tried to think about what it meant.
Mark said quickly, "There is a situation, gather"
Oh, I reacted immediately, quickly got up and put on my backpack, and glanced behind me by the way, except for the two women who were still slow, everyone else was ready.
At this time, a fishy wind blew, and it stinks.
It's like a bunch of rotting salted fish, and it's like smelling corpses on the platform.
Everyone looked at Lacey carefully, I grabbed the backpack strap with my left hand, and subconsciously touched the cold rain pinned to my waist with my right hand.
Lacey carried a flashlight in her left hand to shine forward, two fingers in her right hand pointed to her eyes, and five more fingers pointed ahead.
Searchlight, I understood it this time, most of the other movements were gestures used by Lacey's special squad, but this action was made up by me.
The searchlight was in Zhang San's backpack, and I quickly turned around and rummaged behind Zhang San's back.
The smell of fish became stronger and stronger, the temperature around him seemed to drop rapidly, and something seemed to be moving in the deep darkness, until a bright light pierced the darkness like a sharp sword.
The eerie feeling disappeared immediately, but the scene in front of me made me feel like I had been hit hard in the heart.
In the darkness outside the platform, a white swaying hill suddenly appeared in front of me, it was a pile of scattered skeletons, white bones, all gray-white bones, mixed with countless skulls in various bone piles, black holes, holes, taunting teeth, fangs and claws, this is hell.
Shocked, we stopped for a long time before slowly walking a few steps forward and standing on the edge of the platform, all we could see was white.
There were some rags of clothes hanging from some skeletons everywhere, and the searchlights were shining downward, and below were more skeletons, more skeletons, many of which had been blackened, and had been here for hundreds of years.
What we saw in Wuxi last month can only be compared with the building in terms of containers. It's a mountain of bones.
Bone Mountain? Uncle Liu is not talking about the ancient mountain, but the bone mountain!
There are ancient behemoths in the ,,,, Bone Mountain, and this is the kitchen of the behemoths.
Except for Wan Huo, everyone was obviously aware of it, and they all looked around nervously. Relying on the remnants of man's animal instincts,
We all knew we couldn't stay here long, and we had to get out of here.
"There's a road over here," Mark called.
It was a naturally formed stone arch bridge, two meters wide, the lower part of which had collapsed, and only the upper part, which was less than a meter thick, connected the platform to a high mountain opposite.
Searchlights shine past, and the opposite side of the arch bridge appears to be a cave. The arched bridge seemed to be the only way leading to the front, the other being the invisible stone staircase we descended.
"Let's go, I don't feel very comfortable here," Mr. Zhao said.
Bai Xue and Ma Li pulled together tightly, they felt very scared, this should be the first time they have seen human bones,
It was a miracle that they had seen such a large number of skeletons for the first time, and that they did not faint.
I comforted everyone, "Don't be afraid, there is a second senior brother here, he is specialized in subduing demons and eliminating monsters"
Zhang San whispered next to him, "Senior brother is the one who catches monsters", and no one paid attention to him at this time.
Lacey spoke, "Everyone gets together, Xiaoshuai and the second senior brother take the lead, and I will take the lead"
The team quickly regrouped in formation, the second senior brother walked on the stone bridge first, I glanced at Bai Xue, she and Ma Li were in the middle, Mark Martin and Zhao Dong were tightly wrapped around them, I felt a little bad in my heart, I should be by her side to protect her at this time. But when he thought of the picture he saw on the Sansheng Stone on the side of the bridge, he had to grit his teeth and turn his head to follow behind the second senior brother.
Snow white, white snow, you know my heart.
It seemed to sound in my ears the singing voice of the strange woman next to the Sansheng Stone, "Don't ask me where I'm from...... my hometown is far away...... why do you wander...... Wandering far away, flowing ...... Wave ......"
And her soft sigh, "Turn around and leave in a second, and forget in a lifetime."
