Chapter 22: The Mysterious Man
The endless stone wall is like a black Great Wall, and you can't see the edge. Above the stone wall is the edge of the Fourth Ring Road and the nearby suburbs.
You Qian was shocked by this magnificent scenery, if it wasn't for Jasmine pulling, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to open his legs.
"Let's go! Time is precious! Don't delay! It's not that Jasmine can't understand this feeling. I think that when I came to Sara City for the first time and saw this majestic stone wall, I was also in this mood. And five years passed in a flash, and there were few partners left around at that time.
In order to avoid the eyes of the others, Jasmine sneaked into the town with Youqian, and then took a detour to the stone wall. Jasmine often comes here in this area, and is very familiar with the current of the route, and Youqian has practiced diving at the academy, so even if it is the first time to go to the wild sea, it will not be unable to keep up with Jasmine's pace.
Along the way, except for a few small fish and shrimp, Youqian hardly saw any big creatures, and he was a little lifeless. It stands to reason that this place is close to the land, the water is fertile, and the biological resources should be abundant.
Jasmine went around for a long time, and finally avoided the new field from the side of the town and went around to the stone wall. The town was already desolate, and the feeling became more and more pronounced near the stone wall. Here you can only see bare sand and rocks on the bottom of the sea and a small amount of sparse seagrass, not even small fish and shrimp.
You Qian followed Jasmine to a small mound at the foot of the stone wall, which was the passage that Jasmine had dug out, and she filled the hole with sand and stone for the sake of safety, and after a few simple digs, a black passage appeared in front of You Qian.
"Come on! Hurry up! Jasmine looked around to make sure she wasn't seen. Ever since she came to the stone wall, she always had a feeling of being targeted, which made her very uncomfortable.
The first feeling after entering the passage is that it is smooth, the traces of artificial processing are very obvious, and the surface of the rock is polished smooth, which cannot be done by natural cracking.
"This passage should have been left by the person who placed the equipment in the first place, and the stone walls here are extremely hard and not so easy to get through." Jasmine said as she swam.
You Qian turned on the searchlight and swam in little by little. After several forks in the middle, Jasmine found the marks left before, and was able to come to the small cave smoothly. Without these markers, it would take more time to find the target in the labyrinthine path.
When You Qian entered the small cave, he found that there was a man-wide crack on the top, which connected to the inside of the new field, and it was from there that Jasmine had come in before.
The area of the cave is very small, with an area of only a dozen square meters, and there are several large and small machines in the middle, surrounded by hard stone walls, and nothing else can be seen.
These machines are so tightly connected that it is impossible to move them away. Jasmine took out the engraving board and drew it. You Qian studied the structure of the machine and the text on it.
"Woooooo You Qian found a lot of text on the back of the machine, but he was surprised but couldn't speak, so he could only ask Jasmine to come and record the text.
"This is? Old World Writings? Jasmine asked, after one look. Anyway, she can't read these earthworm-like things.
"Woooooo
You Qian shook his head violently, these are not old world words at all, but modern things.
At this moment, the searchlight on his head flickered back and forth in the small space, and at that moment, two extremely subtle points of light on the wall were also inadvertently illuminated.
"Be careful!" Jasmine immediately punched it. She was armed with a beautiful shrimp, and the attack was fast and fierce, and before You Qian could react, Jasmine's fist had smashed into the point of light.
I saw that the dark stone wall actually moved, and a figure quickly dodged to the side, avoiding Jasmine's full force.
The pattern on this figure's body is exactly the same as the stone wall in the background, and there is no difference at all. That's why the two of them didn't notice when they came in. If it weren't for the fact that he was directly hit by a searchlight, he would not have been able to be spotted at all.
After this figure was discovered, it slowly revealed its original pattern. And I saw that this man was full of spots, stretching from head to feet.
"Not good! He's a high-level fighter! Jasmine pulled Youqian and ran out immediately. This person's strength is far above them, not to mention that he still has the burden of Youqian, even if she is the only one, she may not be able to fight. In addition, the other party's genes are flounder, and they also form restraint on jasmine in terms of attributes.
Jasmine was one step faster than her opponent in terms of activation speed, and she pushed Youqian out of the cave with all her might. He was blocked at the entrance of the cave, and his reflexive action was a kick.
The other party saw Jasmine and they were full of escape, and quickly chased after them. In the face of Jasmine's sudden attack, he did not panic at all, and he blocked Jasmine's leg with a flying palm in his right hand. In his left hand, a claw strike shattered the armor on Jasmine's leg.
Jasmine was bitter in her heart. The armor-piercing attribute can easily shatter the armor on the body, and if you fight, you will definitely not be able to last long.
She quickly pulled her legs back and flipped forward, and the moment she faced her opponent head-on, a thick stream of ink erupted from her mouth, and the entire passage suddenly lost her vision.
"Let's go!" Jasmine seized this moment and pushed Youqian to run out. There was a miasma of smoke along the way, and almost nothing could be seen. I didn't care about the markers when I came up, and I just ran forward.
Although the mysterious man chased with all his might, the cracks in the stone wall were like spider webs, not only artificially excavated, but also many naturally cracked, like a big labyrinth, and no one could be found at all.
Jasmine didn't know how long she had been running out, and only stopped to rest after making sure that the mysterious man hadn't caught up. At this time, You Qian's face was already blue, and it was difficult to breathe, and if he continued to run like this, it was estimated that he would die in less than ten minutes.
"Goo, Gu, Huh, Gugu?" You Qian asked after taking a few gulps of oxygen. He looked around, and there were no traces of the passage anymore, and it seemed to be a naturally formed crack. Earthquakes are frequent in this area, and it is not uncommon for rock walls to be cracked.
"Here, it must be the inside of the stone wall! We seem to be lost......" Jasmine said helplessly, and in a hurry, she could only panic, if she let the other catch up, they would both have to finish the game.
Although You Qian wanted to say something, he had no choice but to bite the respirator and couldn't say a word. He looked at his oxygen stockpile, which could only last about an hour. If he can't get out within an hour, he will suffocate to death at the bottom of the sea.
After a short rest, You Qian endured a strong headache and continued to advance. Jasmine consciously chooses the crack in the direction of the upward direction, on the one hand, it can rush out of the water as soon as possible and replenish the air in time, and on the other hand, it will reduce the water pressure and make Youqian more comfortable.
You Qian didn't know how long he swam, he almost lost consciousness, he relied on Jasmine to pull, and at the end of the swim, he didn't even have the strength to breathe.
"I'm so sleepy, sleep, so comfortable...... Youqian unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep in the pitch-black undersea passage.
