Chapter 046: Underground King City
When the break continues, it will be chaotic, since it is decided to break in, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law will lose the image of manhood.
In order to avoid the light disturbing the undead in the dark, I turned off the miner's lamp and took out the night vision eyes from Guizi San's place from my bag and prepared them for use in case I couldn't see the road clearly.
After a while, I looked intently at the gate leading to the habitat of the undead, walked out of the cave, lifted my feet and landed, stepping on the ground eroded by darkness, and suddenly felt a cold aura sweep through my entire body from the soles of my feet.
The land is buried deep underground, covered by the "sky" formed by the soil, mountains, and forests on the ground, and there is no sunlight, no wind, and no life. The ground was black soil and dead animal bones and withered plants, with a thick layer of dead leaves.
Walking towards the city gate, I noticed that there were many insects with fluorescent tails roosting in it, and because there were so many of them that even without lights and glasses, they could be as bright as on the night of August 15, and although they could not see the details of things, they could see the outlines clearly. Moreover, these insects are everywhere, and they are also found inside the city gates.
When they came to the city gate, the gate was hidden, and it had to be pushed open to enter. The heavy gate is so heavy that when you push it open, you can't avoid making a "babbling" noise, so that it is as if I had sent a message to the hunter before I walked into a trap.
But there is no way, I know such a person at the entrance, there is a ghost or a demon behind the door, and I have to go hard.
After the door was slowly pushed open, I exhaled, eased my nerves, and stepped inside.
Inside the city gate, in fact, is a prosperous and rich city in ancient times, the houses, streets, and rivers are very well preserved, except for a layer of dust and loss of original vitality, there is no sign of dilapidation. The "sky" above the head is strange, originally made of soil and stones, but after more than 1,000 years, not a single stone or dust has fallen. If it weren't for a mysterious and powerful force controlling this place, this would never have happened.
I wonder who is going to keep this ruined ancient city deep underground?
Of course, the most important thing now is to find the Divine Eye. As for the Vision, I only know from the mouth of the fish dragon that it was originally hidden in the basement of the palace, and I wonder if the gang who broke in in the early 90s had taken it somewhere else. At present, I can only go down the avenue to the palace and find the basement to find out.
There was no wind in the city, and it was some distance from the palace, and after walking for a long time, I was hot and thirsty. When I suddenly realized that the wooden house on the left was a tavern, I stopped.
I suddenly became interested in taverns, and some time ago, I heard that someone dug up a jar of hundred-year-old daughter red in the cellar of the old house and sold it for a sky-high price of 200,000 yuan. Now, if I find a drink in a tavern, it won't be millions. Of course, the idea that life is almost gone, this idea is not realistic, at most, it is just a few sips to quench your thirst and strengthen your courage.
I pushed open the door to the tavern and walked inside. As soon as I entered, there was a commotion in the room, and when I stopped to listen, it was quiet again.
I didn't bother to bother with these sneaky little creatures, so I walked straight to the counter, stuck my head out and looked inside, and sure enough, I saw several jars of wine piled up on the ground.
I went in, squatted down, chose a jar of about two catties, opened the lid and smelled it. Oh my God, this wine is so fragrant, even I, who are used to drinking beer and red wine, can smell the aroma of this white wine, and I can think that this wine is really good. I brought the jar to my lips and took a sip and swallowed. The wine is rich in aroma and sweet in the mouth, and it enters the throat, which is cool and delicious, and refreshing. I licked my lips and thought about taking it with me on the way to drink.
However, I was about to get up when I suddenly noticed a person hiding under the counter. This unprepared scene really scared me for a while, and I couldn't help but take a step back, step on a jar of wine, and wet my shoes. The jar of wine was trampled and cracked, and suddenly, the whole room was filled with the smell of wine.
I quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the person in front of me...... As soon as I looked at it, I relaxed. This is a skeleton with an open mouth and a horrible death, hidden under the counter for unknown reasons. It may also be because he was in danger when he was alive, ran down and hid, and then died here.
It was said that tens of thousands of people in this country have all disappeared without a trace, and now it seems that they are all dying in this closed royal city.
"Damn, it scared the hell out of me. Call! β
I cursed the bone, and then got up and went out with the jar of wine. However, as soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I saw two dogs staring at me on the street in front of the door.
There are even dogs in this place? I stared at the two dogs, frowning and puzzled. Moreover, these two dogs do not know what to eat, they are quite fat, with a shiny coat and a strong body, just like the domestic ones in the big city. I wondered, this is probably a hunting dog, right? Looking at their eyes, they are big, pure, and pitiful, a bit like a dachshund, but they are obviously taller than a dachshund, a bit like a Labrador.
I haven't done much research on dogs, so I really don't know what kind of dog this dog is!
"Wang!" A dog suddenly barked, interrupting my thoughts.
"Wow! Wang ......" the other one also shouted.
Just now, he was still cute, and in the blink of an eye, he showed his fierce face, and showed his canine teeth to me. I've always stressed that I'm more scared of this biting creature than I am of seeing a ghost. Dogs that live in such a place are probably what they see and eat, and I'm now on their menu! I couldn't help but feel stunned.
The dog barked wildly, and everything around me was disturbed, so I didn't flinch and pulled out my gun.
However, the dog in front of me didn't know what a gun was, so I aimed the muzzle of the gun at their heads, and ran straight over to bite me, but I didn't blink my eyes, "snapped" twice, and directly hit them to knock them down, so as not to bite me.
Just now I thought it was a vicious dog from hell, but I didn't expect a shot at a time, and it was effortless.
Looking at the two dogs lying in a pool of blood, a big question mark appeared in my mind.
Is there still a man living in this city? This is a domestic dog, right? I thought about it, shook my head, and overthrew myself, realizing that this was unrealistic.
I kept walking, and soon I found out why the dog was so fat. It turns out that the city is not as bleak as I thought. Although all the people are dead, there are still many rats crossing the street. And these rats are not afraid of people at all, I met one, I was about to scare it, I didn't want to, I was about to step on its tail, it didn't move, just ate a big black grasshopper in its mouth.
"Huh?" I'm wondering again! Grasshoppers are popping up in this place again! I think this place looks closed, but there must be a lot of exits to the outside world, otherwise where are these insects attracted in?
"Squeak!" I'm wondering what the hell is going on in this place. The rat suddenly turned his head and saw me, and then screamed, dropped a few of the grasshopper's legs, and immediately went into a nearby house. I was speechless, I did it for a long time, it's not that the mouse is not afraid of people, it's just that it didn't notice me, doesn't it say that the mouse has sensitive senses? That's what's going on.
I was about to continue walking when suddenly the sound of the bow and arrow being thrown out of the string was heard behind me, and it was very close to me. I subconsciously felt that the arrow was coming at me, so I quickly flew towards a vegetable stall on the left. Fortunately, I dodged in time, and as soon as I landed, a sharp arrow was deeply inserted into the ground where I was standing.
I looked behind me, and in the corner of a private house, a figure with a bow and arrow was hiding somewhere, staring at me, and was hurriedly preparing to shoot a second arrow.
Is there really anyone? I'm not afraid of you! He erected the wooden planks of the vegetable stall to block my upper body, raised his gun and pointed it at the figure and pulled the trigger.
The guy was not only a man, but also a coward, and I fired this shot a little hastily, hitting the eaves, but he was so frightened that the arrows in his hand fell, and then he bent down to pick it up, but he was afraid that I would shoot a second shot, so he turned and ran.
I was very curious about the identity of this person, and I chased after him without hesitation.
While chasing, I thought, since he lives here, he always has a nest, right? Will you chase and chase to someone's lair and find a bunch of people with bows and arrows? That's going to be hard. So, after running a few hundred meters, I was about to catch up, but I didn't chase it. I had an idea, and when he ran into an alley, I quickened my pace and detoured in front of him, and then hid in the shadows to observe his course.
The guy ran out of breath, resting against the wall from time to time, and when he made sure that there were no chasing footsteps behind him, he cautiously looked left and right, and then walked into a prostitute. Courtyard......
I know that at this time, his defensive psychology is still very strong, and he rushes in, I am afraid that he will fall into the trap.
So, I sat down in the corner and rested for twenty minutes before making a big detour to the back yard of the brothel.
I climbed the wall and sneaked in, making a small hole in the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window to look inside. When I found that there was no one in the house, I tried to climb in through the window, but the people in the room were still very cautious, and I didn't know what had been locked in and couldn't be opened.
However, I found that the kitchen in the backyard was next to the brothel building, so I climbed onto the roof of the hut, reached for the railing on the second floor, and managed to sneak inside.
I tiptoed around the second floor and listened carefully from room to room along the hallway.
Then I suddenly noticed that all the doors of these rooms were closed, except for one door that was unlocked, just hidden.
I was about to push open the door and enter, when suddenly the candlelight lit up in the room, and two men, one tall and one thin, came out of one of the dark rooms of the room, and frightened me into crouching down the window. Then, the tall man said angrily: "This thing can't be like this, you can bear it or not, anyway, I can't get out of this life, and it's lonely to live." You are afraid of death, I am not afraid, if you don't go, I will go alone. β
The thin man said with some sarcasm: "Why didn't you kill him just now?" Forget it, you haven't even figured out whether the other party is a human or a ghost, don't be killed by the other party at that time. β
The tall man hesitated for a moment and said, "I said it all, the other party is holding a gun, it must be a person!" β
The thin man moved the chair in front of the table and continued, "How about you use your brain! Since the other party is a human, why would you kill him for the sake of two dogs? Are dogs worth more than people? Besides, if the other party can get in, what if they can also go out? Do you know who the other person is? No, this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. β
The tall man suddenly stopped talking, and after a moment of silence asked, "Really?" Do you really think he can get out of this place? We have tried our best, and for ten years, we have only been able to enter this place but not get out. β
The thin man said: "I know you feel sorry for Ajuan and Ahuang, but people are still people, and there is still a difference between the two." What if God is using him to test us? If you kill him, you may lose your last chance to escape. β
I listened to the conversation between these two people with relish, and I would not go out for a while. So he touched a corner of the room and poked a small hole in the window to peek in.
It's true that this tall and thin guy is human, but his appearance is a little terrifying. Because I haven't seen the sun for a long time, my hair and skin are as white as white paper, and if I change the cloth clothes on my body to white, I can't see my appearance at all. If it weren't for the obvious holes in the nose and mouth, from a distance, there were only two eyeballs hanging on this head, and it would be strange if the timid ones didn't scare out something!
I pondered that these two men spoke fluent GZ dialect, and knew that I was holding a gun, and mentioned that they were trapped here, and although they were wearing the clothes of the ancients, they must be modern people, and as for how they were trapped here, they had to ask in person.
