310.The Past - The Heroes of Tenkyo (2)
310.The Heroes of Tenkyo (2)
However, although there are scouts, it is still the handsome young man in a white robe who walks in the forefront.
As if without any emotion, the pupils indifferently scanned the dark corners around him, wearing a white coat, like a ghost, disappearing in the corridor full of ruins. Every now and then he throws something weird to the ground, and then walks deeper into the tunnel with a cigarette in his mouth.
The dark and closed environment always makes people feel a certain twisted and inexplicable sense of fear. I know that there is no such thing as a ghost in this world, but I always feel a chill gradually permeated by my hands and feet.
It was as if a few black palms were about to reach out from those dark corners at any moment, tearing them apart one by one. The inexplicable fear made a trace of sweat flow from everyone's palms, and they subconsciously held the weapons in their hands closer, hoping to gain some security from them.
The light from the tactical flashlight shone through the countless mottled and terrifying ruins.
From time to time, they could see huge scratches and crashing cracks blooming on the walls on either side. Combined with the various pipes inside the wall, it was as if the rotten organs of a living person had been cut open.
The dilapidated ruins describe this kind of space. It was already stained with countless dark green lichens, and there were some things like dried blood stains smeared around it.
And, what is even more disturbing is that it is not only the traces of monsters, but also the traces left by humans.
Crazy runes, confused words, mottled graffiti, and the red-green monsters weave across the decaying walls on either side in the glow of tactical flashlights, eating away at what remains of sanity.
Some are brand new blood marks. It was the sigil left by the mad exploration team. Others are from the same age as this building.
Compared to the new ones, the old ones are more distorted.
Just by looking at the twisted runes and frantic characters, one can imagine the madness and despair of the people here in the apocalypse.
The people around them were dying from the radiation, the sky was filled with the whistling of steel, and the food and water were all filled with toxins. The remnants could only look at their festering skin and skulls in horror, wailing and screaming in pain all day long. Eventually, one day we will be ready for liberation.
Looking at the remnants of the black scabs that looked like human shapes, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel a sense of hair. It's as if there's still something watching in this empty tunnel.
It was the sound of madness coming from the final collapse of a civilization. It was the last curse of a civilization to destroy Miรจ.
The curse is qiฤ, everything that the curse can see, the walls, the ground, the ceiling, everywhere are filled with these dark red dark green lines and runes, spreading to the depths of darkness.
Just looking at that qiฤ, my breathing involuntarily became heavy. It was as if some invisible monster was gradually clinging to their backs. Gradually, it choked their throats. Let these people who have not seen ancient wars breathless.
Strictly speaking, this is a reference to the route of the ship's exploration team back then, so it is relatively easy to walk. Architecturally, there is also a small chance that these places will be damaged. The narrow corridor and three-dimensional structure are sufficient to support considerable changes. Not with the hall. It's like the hall we passed by when we came, and there was nothing of value in it. โ
The white coat that walked at the front didn't know when he had put on an ugly pig's mouth gas mask. A slightly deformed and dull voice echoed in the silent corridor, giving the people around him the illusion that he was still around.
"When I arrived, there were massive craters of bullets and a few dead bodies. Most of your equipment was made at this time. โ
Walk in uneven shadows. The ghostly young man's voice said steadily:
"I think it's probably because of claustrophobia, I don't know when the first expeditions came here. They went completely insane. At first, it may have been just an argument, and then it turned into shooting each other. Because here, they can't make holes in layers. Neither can the ship's mother. โ
"Don't forget Jรฌ, we came here on a small road. And they came here from the regular exit. I guess the reason why they came here was because of the collapse or something. The retreat path that had been found suddenly disappeared, and there were not many supplies left, and the surroundings did not know where to go. Traces of this madness are everywhere. The spirit of living beings is really fragile. โ
"Attacking each other, fighting each other, this mental state can often be seen in the underground space. For the specific situation, please refer to the claustrophobic record of the large-scale mining disaster. That's not something that the intellect can resist. But to be honest, if they calmly analyze the surrounding environment and materials, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. Here is still a long way from the real main goal. But they didn't know it, so they had to stay here forever after the fight. The rest moved on. โ
"They probably didn't want to eat their comrades' corpses at the time, right? Or just because of extreme fear and not thought of it? But that's all it takes. โ
But if they had been thinking about collecting the corpses. There is no such thing as this now.
The white-robed young man walked in front, as if he was walking in his own home, strolling leisurely in this deep space.
Accompanied by the whimper of the air around him, his voice was like countless souls crying out of their pain around him. The wrists of the teenagers of the amateur expedition behind him trembled.
Do you want us to be scared and establish our own authority? โ
Looking at the ghost-like shadow in front of him, the round-faced young man clenched the gun in his hand and couldn't help but think.
But the captain in front of him looked at the light of the tactical flashlight as if he was reading a mind. The pupil inside the lens was refracted by the flashlight with an ominous white light.
"I'm not trying to make you scared or hold back. On the contrary, I just want to warn you about how useless it is to be restless and fearful in such a place. โ
You don't even have to look at it, you can imagine the mocking smile of the boy standing at the very center of the mad labyrinth.
"Think rationally and look at a problem with a scientific eye. Otherwise, you're just a bunch of carbs. What makes humans better than other creatures is that we learn from our experience and come up with better ways to deal with it. โ
"I just want you to open a door for me. I've said this kind of thing a long time ago. You don't think that myths and legends are true, do you? What does it mean for me to kill you? Even if I wanted to seek some strength from this, it would not be possible for me alone. โ
"In the future, you should have less contact with those novels of a bad nature, those are psychotropic drugs, and young people should think normally. Think about it with logic. If I really have any schemes, am I going to win you over? Don't forget who I am, and if I can, it's okay to find a few credible teachers. Why can't you think of such a simple thing? โ
'Is this bastard deliberately provocative......
Looking at the teenager who shrugged his shoulders in front of him, turned his head and continued to move on, the other dropouts looked at him with a little itchy teeth.
Because he was right, he had a close relationship with the teacher, and it could even be said that the relationship was a bit too close. If he really finds something extraordinary, he can only go to his ship's teacher. And it's a pity that those teachers are afraid that they will really help him hide it.
That is, this kind of thing that is closer to a private hobby, and he will ask others for help. Although this kind of adventure game such as a private hobby is just a nightmare journey for nine out of ten people.
"Also, a word of advice to you, remember to ask when someone makes a gesture to throw something."
The white-robed young man who was walking in front glanced back at the nervous crowd, and said in a voice without ups and downs:
"What I just sprinkled was a fluorescent block. When you shine a flashlight, it will refract a pretty beautiful light. It is used for positioning in such a place. It's just a little trick, but it's quite useful. There are fluorescent blocks around here and around the roads that lead to the ground. If you lose contact due to the collapse, just take a picture of the surroundings. โ
"Ahh There really ......"
The observer who walked in the second place took a picture of the surrounding corners, and sure enough, he saw those conspicuous patches of color.
It's not that they didn't notice the anomaly at first, but that the crazy curses on the walls around them made their brains a little confused.
But after the white-robed young man's explanation, looking at the runes around him, there was no longer too much crazy feeling. After all, the one who is really worth fearing is in front of you......
"So, let's move on to the original topic."
Where did it come from?
The boy in the white lab coat tapped the pig's mouth mask on his face. Ignoring the strange gazes of the people behind him, he continued to stroll through the tunnel that seemed to have no end in sight.
"The reason why I'm gossiping a lot with you Rory is also to prevent you from suddenly having any bad things. Being silent for a long time in a dark space will lead to the exertion of pressure on the upper and lower consciousness of the spirit, which will lead to the generation of mental breakdown. It's like a horror movie. There is always silence before the scary scene. โ
"But reality is much scarier than horror movies. There are all those ghostly sounds everywhere, and then there's not a bit of movement around, how long do you think you'll be patient in the lockdown? โ
"A week? Four days? One day? Twelve hours? If it does happen suddenly, I'm afraid that the spirit will be completely broken, right? โ
"Thank me, I'm thinking about everyone's lives, and I don't often say something, I'm afraid you will really have civil strife."
But I think you really just want to play on us......
Looking at the young man chattering in front, the round-faced deputy captain thought for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
After all, what he said really made sense, and if there was really no skilled veteran to lead the way and calm their spirits, I am afraid that it would soon collapse.
Although this veteran is not quite the same as a normal person in terms of brain, he is really a very powerful and capable person. With him leading the team, this trip may really be remembered for a lifetime.
"But you can't be a hero......
The round-faced boy couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Huh? Vice Captain, you seem to have just laughed? Is there anything ridiculous about what I said to make you laugh? โ
"Huh? Yes...... No, I just suddenly remembered something interesting, so I just laughed out loud, captain, didn't you say you can't be nervous? โ
"You're right. Think about the better things. For example......
Just in the nonsense from time to time, time is quietly passing.
Perhaps, as he said, as long as he keeps talking, he can barely support his sanity.
It can be seen on the watch that after everyone had walked for about thirty minutes, the man leading the way in front of him suddenly stood in place. waved his hand at the person behind him, and said in a faint voice.
"It's here. This is where we go. โ
The four of them subconsciously aimed the guns with tactical flashlights in their hands at the front.
After a half-hour trek of thousands of meters, this passage, which seemed to have no end in sight, has finally come to an end. And at the end of the corridor, under the light of everyone's tactical flashlight, the light pierced the dark curtain and saw a steel gate standing in the shadows.
Countless dark green mosses gradually attached to it, spreading out strange and colorful patterns. Blur the words underneath with paint. Just by looking at it, you can see that this product is probably quite old. It seems to be a sacred relic left over from the time of the ancient people's wars. The towering steel alloy made the four people behind them involuntarily have a breathtaking feeling.
To be able to repair the underground so perfectly, and to use such a heavy steel gate inside, without using any of the power of the ship, how strong are the ancient people......
But before everyone's little freshness lasted long, the man standing at the front kicked the door impatiently and made a noise.
"Okay, I'll have time to look at it later, and now what we have to do is pry this door open for me."
โโฆโฆ Captain. Can we say something reliable? โ
You're a strong man.
He glanced at the steel gate, which was of unknown height, and the thickness of which at least did not make a sound when it slammed the door. The round-faced vice-captain looked at him with a neurotic expression.
"This kind of steel gate can only be done by cutting machines and those large industrial facilities, how can we ordinary people pry this kind of door open?"
"Vice-Captain, don't let me doubt your intelligence again. If you're not sure, I'll call you? โ
Take a closer look over here.
The white-robed young man shook his head as if he couldn't carve it, and pointed to a corner that no one was paying attention to.
compared to other places. In that inconspicuous corner, it was clear that there were some traces of friction in it. And judging from the traces, compared to the almost corrupted century-old marks around them, those are simply new. And the latest one is a few rays of white light refracted by the light of a flashlight.
"This gate is actually a look. I don't know if it's the mechanism setting to turn on automatically or whatever, but it's actually quite easy to pry something that looks mighty open. Even I can pull it open a crack by myself. โ
As if to strengthen his persuasiveness, the white-robed young man reached out and tugged at the frictional mark. The door shook in response. In the frightened eyes of everyone, calm was restored.
"If it's not such a simple matter, why should I come with you?"
Lowering the door of the goods, the white-robed young man shrugged his shoulders at the crowd and set his eyes on the supply man, who had been inconspicuous.
The strong and silent supply officer looked at the white-robed young man's gaze and nodded silently. He put down the backpack that he had been carrying behind him and pulled something resembling a shovel from it. After just a few adjustments, he made a simple crowbar and handed it to the tall attacker next to him.
With the look of disbelief on the face of the vice-captain, the silent supply man took out four more sapper shovels from them, all made into a crowbar posture, each holding one in his hand.
'What the hell is going on here......
Looking at the big backpack that had been re-carried and didn't seem to have changed much at all, the deputy captain secretly scolded in his heart.
"Then I'll assign the task next."
After confirming that everyone had got it, the white-robed young man said directly.
"The fireman and the supply man will go and prepare to pry the door first, the two of you have the most strength, you come. Then the Vice-Captain and Scout were in charge of the back, and I came to guard the gate, understand? โ
"Understood."
"Okay, let's do it."
The white-robed young man waved his hand, and several people quickly found some better positions and monitored each other.
The supply man and fireman put down their baggage, carried the sapper shovel to the side of the gate, and snapped the shovel into the friction gap.
"One, two, three!"
Amid the red-faced roars of the large firefighters and supply men, the seemingly impregnable iron door let out a muffled sound.
It wasn't as difficult as everyone imagined, and the door that seemed to be full of colonies and dust opened a crack with the power of the two of them.
However, the light that appeared inside the gate was like a bright tangent, shining directly on the face of the white-robed young man standing in the center. Let his brow furrowed slightly from the gas mask.
'Is there electricity?' โ
That means that the power here is either preserved for hundreds of years, or there are still people......
Looking at the door that gradually creaked open with a gap the size of a person, the young man frowned, ignored the screams around him, and walked directly sideways inside. (To be continued......) R1292
