"This time we're pulling the rope and continuing to walk, I'm going to make sure we're going in circles, or if we're not sure where we're going?" Captain Cao said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, "Aren't you sure you fired the bullet on that pillar?" ”

"Don't forget, at the beginning, Ah Chun ran into the Taiji Senluo formation by himself, and we went to chase him, and later shot when the chain trap was triggered. And just now you saw a monster flashing, and Ma Lu and Ah Mao also shot when they walked behind the pillar. It is also possible to leave bullet holes in the pillars at these times. ”

"Didn't you touch the mechanism when you chased Ah Chun? But there's no sign of the trap here! And when I saw the monster just now, didn't the bullets shoot at the roof of the cave? It's impossible to shoot at the pillar. ”

"Anything is possible, I'm just proposing a possibility!" Captain Cao said as he tied the hemp rope to the pillar with bullet holes, and then we pulled the rope and walked forward.

Although the rope is a very large bundle, this is a very thick hemp rope, so it is not long, we put the rope as we walked, and after walking for seven or eight minutes, the rope came to an end.

"The rope is simply not enough, let's go again." I say.

"I still have it!" Captain Cao said.

"Two or three more bundles of this rope might only be enough for us to walk for thirty minutes."

Captain Cao took out a bundle of rope from his backpack, it was not a hemp rope, but a relatively much thinner mountaineering rope, which was also a large bundle, almost occupying the backpack. It looks like it should be several times longer than a hemp rope.

"This bundle of rope should be enough!"

Then Captain Cao tied the hemp rope and the mountaineering rope together, and we continued to move forward. This time we walked in the direction of the compass for more than 20 minutes, and we did not encounter a pillar with bullet holes. Is it true that the mechanism changes every ten minutes or so? Will it take more than thirty minutes to walk the next time you encounter a pillar with bullet holes? If we grasp the law of this change, maybe we can really get out of the Taiji Senluo formation.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be a situation in the back!" Ah Mao, who walked at the end, stopped everyone.

"What's going on?" Captain Cao asked.

The rope was always held by Ah Mao in the back, and he put the rope as he walked. At this time, he pointed to the rope behind him, his expression was very surprised, he pulled the rope that was submerged in the darkness hard, and said, "I feel that the other end of the rope is much lighter." ”

"What do you mean?" I asked, "What do you want to express?" ”

"Meaning, the rope seems to be broken!" Ah Mao said.

"Why did the rope break for no reason?" I seemed to think of something, but I couldn't, but I panicked.

Captain Cao and Ma Liu's expressions immediately became nervous when they heard this, and they immediately shone their flashlights back, and they had already taken out their pistols in their hands at some point.

At this time, I knew why I was panicking, "Is it ...... Did something break it? ”

"Ah Mao, pull the rope back and take a look!" Captain Cao said.

"Yes!"

"Ma Liu, you watch out for the front!"

"Yes!" The horse then turned back to the front and pointed his pistol ahead.

Mao quickly pulled the rope back, but the more he pulled, the more wrong it became. Because the other end of the rope is tied to the post, although the rope is long, if the rope is not broken, the rope can be straightened quickly, and it cannot be pulled after straightening.

At this time, I saw that Ah Mao was pulling faster and faster, but he still hadn't straightened the rope, and finally he pulled the rope back, and as we expected, the rope really broke. But what scared my heart was not just the fact that the rope was broken, but also a neat cut in the place where the rope was broken.

"What's going on with this rope?" "The fracture is so neat that it looks like it has been cut off with a sharp weapon. ”

"What?" Ma Liu said that he didn't see the rope because he was ordered by Captain Cao to guard the front, and then he turned around in surprise, "Is there anyone else here besides us?" ”

Captain Cao picked up the rope, looked at the neat cut, and was frowning and thinking carefully.

"There shouldn't be anyone else in this kind of place!" Captain Cao said, "But this incision is obviously made by a sharp weapon!" ”

"Could it be that Ah Chun and Ah Sen did it? They have sabers on them! Mao said.

I shuddered all over my body when I heard this.

"It can't be the two corpses, right? It's hard to believe when you say it! I said.

"What if they really weren't dead?" Ma Liu said.

"Everyone is a companion, even if we really don't die, it is impossible to cut our rope and harm us!" Captain Cao said.

"Is it cursed?" Mao said, "Remember what was written on the two lines of crooked text on the wall when we came down? Whoever dares to step in, I will take your flesh with me. Ah Chun may have been fascinated by that terrible laughter at that time, so he ran into the formation by himself! ”

Mao's conjecture left me speechless. Although I believe in science, since I joined the archaeological team and stepped into Longtou Mountain, there have been many things that science cannot explain. I found that only this statement of Ah Mao can make sense of what happened to us. What a hell of a life.

"Captain, what do we do now?" Ma Lu asked.

Captain Cao threw the rope to the ground and said, "Keep walking." ”

Then Captain Cao took the compass and led everyone on. At this time, the light of Captain Cao and Ma Liu's flashlights was obviously much dimmer, and it was estimated that the power was about to run out. Then Ma Liu took out the battery from his backpack and replaced it.

When I saw Ma Liu's backpack, I realized that among the four people, only I had some dry food in my backpack, which I brought myself. The others brought only water, not food. Mao's backpack contained only the bundle of hemp rope and a hammer. And Captain Cao's backpack contained the bundle of climbing ropes, a flare gun, and a few rounds of ammunition. Ma Liu's backpack contained a camp lamp, flashlight batteries, parts of the flamethrower that had been used to deal with the blood bats, rows and rows of pistol bullet clips, and I seemed to have seen grenades. I thought to myself: this man is really going to fight!

With our equipment, it may be fine to fight the Blood Bat again, but surviving alone will be a big problem, because I am the only one of the four who has a little food.

I told Captain Cao about my concerns. Captain Cao said that he did underestimate the danger of this mission. The previous idea was to make it easier to extract various equipment, so that different people could carry different supplies. He thought that with forty soldiers carefully selected by himself, he would be able to meet gods and kill gods, and kill Buddhas when he met Buddhas. But as his brothers died one by one, he knew he was wrong. This mission was several times more dangerous than he had imagined. If someone is left alone, if that person has no food, he will soon starve, and if he carries most of the people's food, he will not starve, but the others will starve. Captain Cao said that if we can successfully join the large army this time, we must redistribute the supplies to everyone. Try to keep everyone with food and defense equipment.

We walked for more than ten minutes, and sure enough, I expected it. We re-encountered the bullet-ridden pillar. The first time I walked for more than ten minutes, the second time I walked for more than twenty minutes, and this time it was more than thirty minutes. It is estimated that the nearby organs change every ten minutes.

I expected the change of mechanism, but I still couldn't be happy. I saw a hemp rope tied to the pillar with the mouth of the bullet, and the hemp rope stretched into the endless darkness.

"We're really going around in circles!" Ma Liu said, "This is too mysterious! We had passed the pillar and kept going, but we appeared behind it. ”

"Ah Mao, take the rope back and see!" Captain Cao said.

"Yes!"

Mao quickly pulled the rope back. Captain Cao picked up the rope and looked at it, saying, "This end was also cut by a sharp weapon!" ”

"Even if you know that its movement law is more than ten minutes, it's useless!" "We'll still come back." ”

"Not necessarily!" Captain Cao said, "We have caught the pattern. As long as you cross this area before the mechanism is activated, you may be able to return to the original path. ”

"How?" Mao asked.

"We were just walking, and if we run now, we might be able to cross this circle before the trap is activated!"

"Captain Cao, this is a good proposal!" I said, "But I think we need to hurry, and we just walked for more than 10 minutes to get back here." In other words, this area may take us further and further. If we don't hurry, we may be far away from the big army, even if we cross the circle area! ”

"Hmmm! Makes sense, let's go! Captain Cao said.

We were just about to leave when a white light in the distance stopped us all.
