Chapter Forty-Nine: Two Ritual Killings
My heart was beating faster and faster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Because we turned off the flashlight, the other party's flashlight is estimated to be dim because it is almost out of power. That level of light can only make people find their way in the dark, and it is estimated that it is difficult to see each other's faces at close range. We can't tell if those two people are Ah Chun and Ah Sen based on their clothes, because they can't even see the clothes clearly. And you can't tell according to the contours of your body. Because the soldiers are all about the same size, they are all tall and strong.
I saw a dark shadow flashing in front of me. It must have been Ah Mao and Ma Liu. They pounced together, and the two "people" were knocked down, and the flashlight fell immediately. Ma Lu and Ah Mao scuffled with those two "people".
Since the flashlight fell to the other side, it was completely impossible to see what was going on their side. All I could hear was the sound of fists and kicks colliding with each other and the shouts of horses.
Then Captain Cao turned on the flashlight and shone it over there. I saw that Ma Liu had already pressed one of them to the ground to subdue him, and Ah Mao was still scuffling with the other person.
"Fighting with Ah Mao, that man's counterattack is not like the walking dead can do!" Captain Cao said.
"And who they are?"
"Ah Mao, stop, everyone stop!" Captain Cao shouted loudly.
Mao and the others stopped. Ah Mao immediately turned on the flashlight and said in surprise: "Tsing Yi, is that you?" ”
"Your own people?" Ma Liu turned on the flashlight in surprise, "It's Fusheng!" He let go of the man who had been subdued.
Captain Cao and I hurriedly ran over. When I found out that the two men were soldiers in the army, I let go of my heart.
"Captain, it's you!" Tsing Yi was very surprised to see us, I guess he didn't expect us to play like this.
"Fusheng, why don't you keep quiet! I almost killed you! Ma Liu said as he reached out and pulled Fusheng up.
"I was subdued by you before I could say anything! Grandma, if you hadn't been a sneak attack, I wouldn't have been subdued so easily by you! ”
"We thought you were Ah Chun and Ah Sen!" Mao said, "It's scared to death! ”
"What kind of vision do you have!" Tsing Yi said dissatisfiedly.
"Why are you here? What about the others? Captain Cao asked.
"You haven't been back for too long, Master Zhang asked us to come to you!" Fusheng said.
"What's going on? Master Zhang, doesn't he know that there is a good chance that you will not be able to enter here? Captain Cao said, "What did he say?"
Then Fusheng and Tsing Yi told us what had happened.
It's been more than an hour since we ran into the formation and still haven't gone back. Master Zhang had already expected something to happen to us. So he's going to find a way to pick us up. Master Zhang calculated that the Tai Chi Senluo formation would run once every ten minutes. After operation, the original place will change, so it is difficult for ordinary people to go out after entering. But Master Zhang grasped this pattern, and he ordered Tsing Yi and Fu Sheng to take the compass and walk some distance in the direction we were leaving, and then fire signal flares.
Master Zhang also said that if the compass is constantly turning, it will not be able to move forward, if it does not spin, it will walk forward for five minutes, and then put a signal flare, wait in the same place for three minutes, and if we don't see it, we will return the same way, and the back and forth must not exceed fifteen minutes. That way they can get back to where they came without changing the road.
Fusheng and Tsing Yi's flashlights are running out of power, so they want to go back as soon as possible. But they found that the compass suddenly failed, and it was fine just now, but now it was spinning. They just stood there motionless, just looking at the compass.
"Do you remember the way back?" Captain Cao asked.
"The compass is broken, and I can't find the exact direction to go back. But I remember the general direction! Tsing Yi said.
"Let's go! Take a look in that direction! Captain Cao said.
Although the compass could no longer indicate the direction, the soldiers' memories were not bad. We followed the route in the soldier's memory and soon found the large force. When they saw us coming back safely, they all came to greet us with joy.
I had the feeling that I had been adrift in the vast sea for a long time, and finally saw that there was land. Although this land is an isolated island, you can finally step on the soft soil, look at the green woods, and hear the insects and birds. I found that happiness came too suddenly, and it couldn't be too simple.
Xu Li happily walked over and asked if we were hurt. We are all grateful for her warmth!
After the experience just now, Captain Cao redistributed the materials and tried to divide them evenly as much as possible. Because just now when we were alone, we found that if different materials are carried by different people, it may be difficult for those who are accidentally left alone to survive. If the lone man carried all the food, it would starve the army.
Then we told everyone what we had just experienced. Captain Cao's decision is not to pursue Ah Sen and Ah Chun anymore. We can't afford to put our lives on the line anymore. Whether they're dead or not, we'll leave marks along the way, and if they're really not dead, they'll follow us. But personally, I don't think it's very likely. Because in the end it was me who proved that they were dead, and with their injuries, if they hadn't died, I would have felt that they weren't normal people in the first place. What I want to convey is that the only people who can't die from that kind of injury may be those who are already dead.
After listening to our experience, everyone felt very sorry. But there was only one person whose face was not only showing regret, he was more frightened.
I saw Master Zhang take back the compass from Captain Cao in shock, and then he kept looking at the compass and the watch.
"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you?" I asked curiously.
"Are you sure that the two agencies you just encountered only heard a sound, but didn't react?" Master Zhang asked.
"Yes! What's wrong? That's supposed to be a dumb fire mechanism, right? I said.
"Where did you meet?"
"I touched it once not long after I went in! I touched it once before I came out! ”
Master Zhang was calculating with his fingers, and suddenly his eyes were as big as owls, as if he wanted to eat people with his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Oh no, everyone hurry up and pick up the luggage, we have to leave immediately!" ”
"Master Zhang, what's going on?" I asked.
The hole behind us suddenly closed, and it was the exit to the staircase that led down.
Master Zhang looked at the stone gate behind him and said, "I don't have time, explain while walking!" Everybody follow me! Hurry up! ”
The surrounding atmosphere was suddenly tense by Master Zhang's words. Everyone quickly put away the camp lights and set off.
"The two mechanisms you touched just now didn't seem to be responding, but they're already working." Master Zhang said to me as he walked, "It's just that it takes some time to launch." ”
"Is this a powerful mechanism?"
"Look at the compass!" Master Zhang handed me the compass, and the needle was still spinning, "I said before that as long as you go to the place where the compass fails, there will be danger. Now everywhere we go, the compass fails. ”
"What did we touch?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the all-killing mechanism in Taiji Senluo, called Liangyi Kill!"
"What does it mean to kill all?" I asked, puzzled.
"It's literal, kill everyone who enters the formation. After the trap is triggered, there will be no safe place in Tai Chi Sen Rory! ”
"Aren't we going to die, then?"
"I don't know if it's in time! Because it takes a while to activate this mechanism! We're going to have to find the door before the mechanism opens. ”
"That ......" I was about to speak, only to hear a rumble throughout the area. The sound was deafening and enormous.
At this point, I noticed that there was water on the ground.
"Where's the water?" I said strangely.
"The Liangyi Kill has been launched!" Master Zhang said, "I didn't expect it to be a water attack. It is designed to be relatively low, presumably to facilitate water attack. We're going to hurry. ”
"It's big here, the water shouldn't be flooding us that quickly, right?"
"Do you think the designers didn't think of this problem?" Master Zhang said, "This place will soon be flooded!" ”
We've only run a few steps, and there used to be puddles of water on the ground, but now the water has submerged the soles of our feet, and the speed is really scary. It's winter, and although the temperature in Guangzhou won't reach below zero in winter, it's estimated to be only a few degrees now, so I still feel very cold when the water only covers the soles of my feet.
The rumbling never stopped, and we were all scared enough. I kept holding Xu Li's hand and running forward. Since the team was led by Master Zhang, he was old after all and couldn't run fast. We were in a hurry to see it. Captain Cao immediately ordered the four of them to pick up the eldest Master Zhang and Professor Li and rush forward. We were moving a lot faster, but the water was several times faster than I had imagined.
We've only been running for a few minutes and the water is knee-high. Now I can't run, so I can only walk forward quickly. But the biggest headache is that there are strong waves that push people back all the time. It is estimated that the water outlet is in front, and the water output is very large, otherwise it would not have set off such a large wave. The slower we walked, the harder it became.
