Chapter 40: Following the Shadow of Amber
Finally, the last bit of rations in the dragon's eye backpack were wiped out, and the three of them resolutely looked ahead, with a tragic posture of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"We're not going to be electrocuted after just a few steps, are we?" The fat man's arrogance was instantly reduced to the extreme.
The dragon's eyes glanced at him, and said in a cold voice, "Shut your crow's mouth!" β
I looked at the bluestone pavement under my feet, it was as smooth as a mirror, and the bluestone in the middle became more shiny and smooth, like a walnut that was often played with.
"This road should be traversable." I said.
The fat man turned his head to look at me suspiciously, and asked, "Why?" But what does the first brother say, I believe it! β
Facing the questioning gaze of the dragon's eye, I said with a dry laugh: "You look at this bluestone pavement, it is obvious that someone has walked on it for many years, maybe it has been stepped on for thousands of years to cause such an effect, I think this road should be used to maintain the passage of this power plant, so no one will be stupid enough to build a maintenance channel that can be hit by electricity at any time." β
With a long sigh of relief to calm my nerves, I gritted my teeth and took a few steps forward, but it was still quiet and there were no accidents.
In this way, the three of them walked all the way and did not know how far they had gone, but nothing unexpected happened, and the azure electric light on both sides was still transmitting forward at great speed according to their own trajectory, and from time to time there was a piercing and violent explosion sound like crackling or beeping.
Gradually, I relaxed my vigilance, and the fat man ran to the left side of the bluestone road for a while, and ran to the right to look at it for a while, as if he had never seen anything he had never seen.
It turned out that the ones erected in the river were not stone slabs, as the dragon's eye said, but a kind of elastic slabs, and if you looked closely, they were covered with tiny tendons, like shaved parts of some kind of organism, and they were neatly fixed to the bottom of the river, swinging back and forth with the current.
Suddenly! A hand stretched out behind me and grabbed me tightly, it was a dragon's eye, only to hear her shout coldly: "Don't move!" β
I immediately felt that the pores around my body suddenly enlarged, and the sour numbness surged all over my body in an instant, and the fat man was also startled by a cold cry from Longan on the spot, he turned his head and looked at us with a blank expression, not knowing what was happening, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes, presumably his body also produced some special terrible feeling.
Looking up, I saw a few small blue roots appear a few meters above my head, they were like small snakes with life, winding and twisting from the rivers on both sides to the top of the fat man.
It didn't take long for those tiny electric lights to slowly hug together, as if they had turned into a ball of light glowing with a dazzling blue light, emitting a crackling death-killing sound.
The ball of light slowly floated to a height of three meters above the fat man's head, turned around, and then stopped above my head, and suspended quietly for more than ten minutes, as if sensing something, cold sweat flowed down my cheeks like running water, so scared that I didn't even have the courage to breathe.
Suddenly, the ball of light made a piercing buzzing sound, which frightened the three of them all over their bodies, and the fat man's eyes were almost bulging out of his sockets, thinking that the ball of light would fall and kill the three of them on the spot, but he didn't expect the ball of light to just buzz for a while and then floated back into the river, slowly splitting into countless small rays of light, followed by a large number of electric lights away.
Call! The three of them exhaled heavily, slumped to the ground, and the fat man wiped his cold sweat and said, "This thing is so fucking scary, it seems to be alive!" β
Longyan said lightly: "Maybe there is something special on us that has caught their attention, or maybe this is not something that a living person can pass through, because there is something on us that makes it mistakenly think that we are the master here." β
The fat man threw all the belongings on his body on the ground with a bang, including the bone flakes he had picked up in the crater, the only two machine gun magazines left, a few thumb-sized pieces of luminous jade, and most exaggeratedly, a few handfuls of porcelain tableware for Western food.
I picked up a spoon and fork inlaid with gold wire, and asked suspiciously, "You can't afford to throw this thing away?" β
The fat man scratched his hair and said, "Look at this pattern, this painter, and it is also inlaid with gold edges!" MeissenοΌ Although my old Zhang doesn't understand English, but when I look at this color, it is not a mortal thing, it is scavenged from Yao Xiwen and the black hood, and when I go back, we will also have a whole piece of sauce beef, eat it with this thing, and feel the treatment of a Western aristocracy. β
Longyan immediately cast a disdainful look, only to hear her say, "Before I found you, did you see anything special?" β
When the fat man heard this, he quickly put the pieces of luminous jade into the package, and muttered, "It's gone!" β
"What's in your mouth?" Longyan suddenly asked sharply, and then stared at the fat man coldly.
The corners of the fat man's eyes jumped, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and then he reluctantly spit out something, a crystal clear bead, the size of a little finger, and a fleshy little thing wrapped in the bead, much like the shape of a water droplet.
I looked intently, and it turned out that this small water droplet turned out to be a small worm with an unnamed name, and there was a faint hint of life on its body.
"Where did it come from?" Longyan asked coldly.
The fat man lowered his head, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, and muttered, "That old god stick turned over." β
Then the fat man raised his head, his eyes were shining, and said, "As far as I can see! This is a single-celled creature left over from ancient times, one day it went to the pine forest on a whim, and suddenly a cloud of pine oil fell from the tree, and then this thing was formed, I will turn it in now, will the state give me any award or something? β
Longyan glanced at him and said, "You don't have to talk to me, you mean this thing is amber?" β
I stared at the worm in the beads for a long time, only to feel that in addition to the slightest bit of anger on its body, there seemed to be a faint gray gas, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, wiped a cold sweat and said: "This thing doesn't seem to be amber, the thing inside is still alive, and it still exudes a ...... Corpse gas! β
The fat man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said with a sad face: "Brother Yi, don't scare me!" Isn't this just amber? I said that since I found this thing, I always feel like something is following me! β
"What? Why didn't you say it earlier! What's following you? Longan asked nervously.
Longyan and I stared intently at the fat man, waiting for his next words, the fat man raised his head, looked around vigilantly, and asked mysteriously: "On the upper floor, have you noticed that for a while, there was a big shadow on the ground, that thing has a sharp beak monkey gills, and there are horns on its head, and it seems that there are two very old beards. β
Longyan turned to me and asked, "Did you see that?" β
I patted my head, and suddenly I seemed to remember some images, and I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, maybe I was thinking about Bill's code words at the time, but out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a huge black shadow on the ground, but the black shadow was behind Longyan, so she didn't notice.
"It seems to be! It was just a flash, behind you! I whispered.
When the words fell, the three of them seemed to have a sense, and at the same time they looked up and looked around, everyone's faces were very solemn, and they felt the wind around them, and they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.
