Chapter 45: The Mist
The gunshots kept ringing out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Captain Cao and I rushed behind the pillar. I saw that Ma Lu and Ah Mao both shot at it.
"Where's that thing?" Captain Cao asked.
"On it!" Ah Mao said.
Captain Cao and I immediately shone a flashlight on it. All four of us had a problem with our flashlights, all flickering on and off, and the light had become much weaker at some point, and the light was seriously insufficient, so we couldn't see it clearly. I saw a black mass crawling quickly. The thing quickly disappeared from our view.
"It's running away! Chasing? Ma Lu asked.
"Don't chase this unknown species!" Captain Cao said, "Do you see what it is?" ”
Ma Lu and Ah Mao both shook their heads to indicate that they had not seen clearly.
"Could it be a blood bat?" Captain Cao continued to ask.
"Not really!" Mao said, "It's clearly a humanoid silhouette!" ”
"Same as I see!" I said, feeling furious, "Someone who can climb the wall?" ”
"Is there really a mountain ghost?" Captain Cao said, "Although the commissioner has always said that we are superstitious, we can't believe that there are mountain ghosts!" But I can't think of anything other than mountain ghosts that can walk like this! Let's hurry back, this place is not suitable for long! ”
"Don't you care about Ah Chun and Ah Sen's corpses?" Ma Liu said.
"Master Zhang is right, I can't let you go on any more adventures for two corpses!" Captain Cao said.
"Can you be sure they're really dead? What if they don't die? Ma Liu said.
"I was sure they were really dead!" I say.
"If you were sure you were right, you wouldn't be following now!"
"This ......"
"Now that the compass is spinning and the flashlight is flickering, we can't move any further! Go back, it's the order! ”
"Yes!" I could see that Ma Liu's expression was unwilling.
We then walked back. Strange to say, not long after we walked, the compass did not turn again, but kept pointing in one direction. The flashlight didn't flicker again. Could it be that there really is something in the place just now that is affecting the magnetic field? There was a thin layer of fog all around, and I always felt like something was hiding inside.
We walked for more than ten minutes, but we didn't see any lights in front of us.
"Strange!" Ma Liu said, "We just ran for a few minutes, why haven't we seen the light after walking for more than ten minutes?" ”
"Aren't you going to get lost?" I said, "Master Zhang said that it's easy to get lost in the Tai Chi Senluo formation. ”
"How could it be, we obviously went the same way!" Ma Liu said.
"Don't go any more!" Ah Mao said.
"Wait a minute!" Captain Cao suddenly stopped to inspect the pillar on the left.
At this point I noticed that the pillar was a little strange, it had a few small circular holes in it. The entrance to the cave is neat and looks artificial.
"Captain Cao, what's going on with this cave?" I asked.
"It's a bullet hole!"
"Huh? Bullet holes? How can there be bullet holes here?"
"It's what we just left behind."
"Isn't the place where we shot a long time ago?" Ma Liu said.
"We seem to be coming back in circles! This should be the place where we were chasing and shooting. Captain Cao said.
"Impossible! Aren't we going all the way forward? Why do you go back to where you just walked?" Ma Liu said.
"Tai Chi Senluo's formation is also too powerful!" I said, "Captain Cao, does the compass Master Zhang give you any indication of the direction to go back?" ”
"Just now when I was judging the direction, I found out that this is just an ordinary compass!" Captain Cao said as he handed me the compass, and then he took out a round black object from his backpack and showed it to me, "This is my compass, it is the opposite direction of the compass." ”
I looked at the compass and then at the compass in Captain Cao's hand. The discovery was as Captain Cao said.
"Master Zhang said just now that this compass is very godly!" Ah Mao said, "If you turn on the light, it will ward off evil spirits, and the compass will also point us to a safe area." It keeps pointing to the south, how can it not be dangerous? ”
"From a scientific point of view, the magic weapon that has been turned on is just a psychological hint to myself, which makes people feel a little more at ease. As for the fact that the pointing needle cannot move forward when it is turning, maybe it is because there is something in front of it that affects the magnetic field, and maybe this thing will be harmful to the human body! I said.
"You can't say that." Captain Cao said, "Metaphysics can be passed down in China for thousands of years, and there must be a reason for its existence. But now we can only rely on the compass to determine the direction, not to find the way back. ”
"Do you have a solution?" I asked.
"Not for the time being, let's take another look!" Captain Cao said.
Everyone agreed.
It's like we've stepped into an infinite universe, and no matter which direction we use our flashlights to shine in, we can only see the misty pillars and endless darkness in the distance.
Captain Cao used the compass to determine the direction just now. But let's go back to the path we just walked. So he put away the compass and used a military compass with a more professional positioning to determine the direction. This compass is called professional because it not only accurately points the way, but also measures altitude, air oxygen, temperature and wind speed. Based on these data, some simple formulas can be used to approximate latitude and longitude. For me, who is a scientist, I think the compass is more reliable than the compass.
Captain Cao used a compass to reorient the direction. But Captain Cao said that this is not much different from the direction set by the compass.
After walking for more than ten minutes, not only did I not see the light of the large army, but this time I didn't even see the pillar that was shot through by the bullet.
"Captain Cao, are you sure you don't have a misalignment?" I asked.
"There is no need to question this!" It was Ma Lu who spoke, "We are all professionally trained soldiers, and we must learn field positioning, so you don't have to question Captain Cao's ability." ”
"Then now we may not be spinning in circles, but completely lost!" I say.
"Strange!" Captain Cao said, "If you have a compass, you will get lost?" This formation is also too powerful! ”
"Master Zhang said that this formation has been running, and it is possible that our current position has changed!" I said, "Are we going to be trapped here?" "I'm worried that even though I already know the danger of this mission, and I volunteered to participate in this archaeological mission, I don't want to die here without knowing it.
Ah Mao sighed and said, "I don't want to die like this!" ”
Although Ma Liu didn't say anything, his face was not good-looking.
Among the four of us, only Captain Cao's face has not changed, and only his desire to survive is quite strong.
"Keep going!" Captain Cao said, "You can't sit still!" ”
I followed the crowd with unease. After walking for more than ten minutes, something unexpected happened to me. We found that the column with bullet holes appeared again.
"What's going on?" Ma Liu said, "I walked for more than 10 minutes just now and re-encountered this pillar, but this time I walked for more than 20 minutes before I encountered it again." Could it be that this pillar will not be able to walk? ”
"Doesn't this prove that Master Zhang's words are right!" Captain Cao said, "This mechanism is really moving. We have to find the regularity of its movement to get out of here. ”
"I met it in more than ten minutes just now, and now it takes more than 20 minutes to meet it. The law of the movement of the organ may be more than ten minutes of movement. I said.
"Two points connected can only become a line, not a trend! We have to find the third point to confirm if the trend is correct or not! Captain Cao said.
I began to admire Captain Cao, I thought that he was a rough man like other soldiers, the kind of person who had flexible hands and feet, but his mind was "not fully developed". But after contact, I found that Captain Cao is not only skilled, but also brave and strategic, and not afraid of danger. It seems that the captain of this archaeological mission has chosen the right one.
"Then let's go again!" I say.
"Wait a minute!" Captain Cao said, "Which of you has a rope in his backpack!" ”
"Me!" Ah Mao said.
"Take it out!"
"What's the use of a rope?" I asked.
I saw Ah Mao take out a large bundle of hemp rope from his backpack, and the hemp rope almost filled his backpack. I found that the backpacks of several soldiers are all food, and it seems that these soldiers have a clear division of labor, and each of them will carry different things in their backpacks.
