Chapter 47 Flares

We were just about to run, but we saw a white light in the distance, and we all stopped. The white light www.biquge.info only lasted for more than ten seconds.

"What is that light coming from?" I say.

"That's the light of the flare!" Ma Liu said happily, "Master Zhang must have brought someone to find us!" ”

"Let's go and have a look!" Captain Cao said.

We all breathed a sigh of relief that we were finally able to get out of this place in circles. We were hell-bent on getting out, so the pace was very fast. The white light just now only flashed for a while, so we can only approximate the position and move forward. But strangely, our pace was close to trotting, and we had been walking for several minutes, but it was still pitch black ahead.

"What's going on?" Ma Liu said, "Although the light of the signal flare I saw just now was in the distance, we walked relatively fast, and we could get it." ”

"Could it be that the location is wrong?" Ah Mao said.

"Impossible! Even if it's really wrong, it won't deviate too much! If we go straight, we should be able to see the light of the camp lights! Ma Liu said.

"This is very strange!" Captain Cao said and used a flashlight to shine around, because of the fog around him, the visibility was not high, only pitch black, and there was no light.

At this time, another white light lit up, and to our surprise, the white light was behind us. We immediately stopped and looked back. I saw a white light in the distance, which was also extinguished after more than ten seconds.

"Why do we have flare light behind us?" Ma Liu said, "It was obviously in front just now. Do large armies move so fast? Could it be that as we walked this way, they bypassed us in the distance and went behind us? ”

"With this possibility, let's go back!" Captain Cao said.

We then walked back, again at a pace close to trotting. I really didn't expect the big army to move behind us at such a speed. But I always thought it was strange, didn't a team of nearly forty people move at all? If there's any movement, we'll find out for sure. If a large force had bypassed us at a relatively long distance, it would not have been possible to fire a second flare directly behind us so quickly. The only possibility, which can barely be said, is that the large forces are far away from us, and they go around our rear at high speed. If so, why would they do it? Isn't their purpose to find us? Why play peek-a-boo with us?

This time we also walked back for more than ten minutes, but it was also pitch black in front of us, and we didn't even see the shadow of the large army. Suddenly, another burst of white light came. But this time it came from far on our right.

"What's wrong with this time on the right?" Ah Mao said that he just wanted to go to the right, but was stopped by Captain Cao.

"Wait a minute, I'm sure you've all sensed something is wrong with this flare!" Captain Cao said, "No matter how fast the movement of the large army is, it is impossible to go around behind us and to the right in more than ten minutes. Because walking around us without us noticing it has to go around in a big circle. ”

Captain Cao's speculation is basically consistent with mine, and it is very unlikely that the person who sent the flare is a large unit.

"If it wasn't for the flares fired by the big army, who else would it be? Could it be that there really is someone else here besides our people? Ma Liu said.

"Ma Liu, do you remember whether Ah Chun and Ah Sen's equipment have flare guns?" Captain Cao asked.

"I remember Ah Chun's equipment is there!" Ma Liu said, "Captain, do you want to say ......?"

Ma Lu stopped, and everyone was silent. I guess everyone thinks the same. My cold sweat began to break out.

"No kidding, okay!" I said, "Captain Cao, do you mean that the flare was fired by the dead Ah Chun?" ”

"I don't know! I'm just suggesting a possibility! Ah Chun and Ah Sen don't know if they are dead or alive, but you also saw them floating away just now. ”

"This ...... Even if this is a deception, they can't be so powerful. Could it be that they will still use flares to confuse us?"

"Flares were fired in front of and behind us and to the right, isn't that confusing us, what else can we do?"

"So what do we do now?"

Captain Cao was silent, and it is estimated that he can't think of any good way now.

"That's right!" I suddenly said, "Didn't you just see a flare gun in your backpack?" Let's fire a few shots in response to the flare! ”

"If the flare just now was really done by the dead Ah Chun, wouldn't we have to lure him over?" Ah Mao said with a frightened face.

"Didn't we run out to find them?" I said, "And what if it's a big army?" If it were them, we would be saved! ”

"If it was the big army, can you explain why the big force behaved so unreasonably?" Ah Mao said.

"This ......"

Captain Cao took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, we have no other way, just try!" He took out a flare gun from his backpack, "Ah Mao, Ma Liu, you two are vigilant around, and if you see any strange situation, you will shoot immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Mao and Ma Lu replied in unison, and then they pulled out their pistols from their waists.

Captain Cao then loaded the flare gun with bullets and fired it into the distance. A bright white light erupted from the muzzle of the gun. Because the roof of the cave was not high, Captain Cao could only launch straight forward.

The flare did not have a strong momentum, and it soon hit the ground, burning on the ground for a while, then gradually dimming, and finally extinguished. The whole process lasted only a dozen seconds.

When the flare is at its brightest, that is, when it is at its warmest, it burns off the nearby fog, so the field of vision is clearer and wider. Before the flare hit the ground, I noticed something flashing on a pillar in the distance, startling me.

"Have you all seen that? There seems to be something there! I said.

"Hmmm! See! Captain Cao said with a serious face.

"Captain! At the same time as you send a flare, the flare light is lit up behind you! Ma Liu said.

"Yes, I saw it too!" Ah Mao said.

Just now, Captain Cao and I were focused on the signal flare in front and didn't pay attention to the back. And Ma Lu and Ah Mao were in charge of guarding, and they put all their spirits around, so they noticed the movement behind them.

"Is it in response to us?" Captain Cao said.

"It doesn't feel like it!" Ma Liu said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The flare in the back seems to be lit up at the same time as ours, probably by coincidence! Shall we go over and have a look? ”

"Wait a minute, now let's go to the front and see the glowing thing! Walk. ”

We all walked cautiously forward. Everyone else was carrying pistols, and I was holding Captain Cao's saber. The thing that was glowing just now was in the middle and upper part of the column, in a long direction. The light just now is not emitted by itself, but by reflecting the light of the flare. But why is there something reflective in a place like this where no one has been in for decades or even centuries? What the hell is that thing? Or is what we've been guessing right all along? Could it be that there is someone else here besides ours?

The feeling of curiosity and fear is always unsettling. When you really want to know the truth about something, but you are afraid to touch it, so your heart is always itching and overwhelmed.

We kept using our flashlights to look for the pillar that was glowing just now. Suddenly, I noticed that there was something in front of me on the right that reflected the light of the flashlight.

"Found it!" Captain Cao said.

We ran briskly. It turned out to be a bronze mirror. The bronze mirror is oval in shape, half human long, and it is set into a column. It was painted in the same color as a pillar, and in this dark environment, it was easy to distinguish even up close. It is estimated that it was inlaid by the person who designed the Taiji Senluo formation.

"Okay, what are you doing with a mirror?" Ma Lu touched his chin and said.

"If it's two knives or an axe or something, I think it's normal." "After all, there are so many traps here, and it's not strange to have these things." But what can it do with a mirror? Will they fall down and hit people's heads, and they will not be able to smash people to death? ”

"I seem to already know what it's here for!" Captain Cao said.
