Chapter 403: Illusion and Desert

If something goes wrong this time, humanity will fall to this point if it doesn't work well. After all, SCP-140 is still in operation, and it is theoretically capable of constantly updating itself as long as there is a liquid such as blood, and even if there is a historical correction to interfere, I am afraid that it will not completely prevent the historical change of the book.

"Eh, there's an entrance here!"

An excited voice came from the side, and one of the task forces reached out and pushed the "wall" desperately, and the invisible force field barrier unexpectedly appeared a gap in front of everyone.

Like a sunken lake, the plane force field barrier appeared ripples, and a dark passage appeared in front of them, from the entrance of the cave it seemed to be a stone chamber corridor, but where it led was a mystery!

"I'm afraid...... This is exactly what it is! ”

Feng Han and the others walked in cautiously, and the task force in front turned on the tactical flashlight to illuminate the corridor in front. The damage to the road seems to be severe, with cracked walls and signs of weathering everywhere.

"Boom!"

The stone door behind them closed.

"Oops, this thing is sealed!"

The task force was surprised to find that the stone door behind them was closed, and they tried to find the location of the mechanism, but after a long time of tinkering with it, they did not achieve anything.

Feng Han was also groping for the mechanism, but his method was faster, he reached out and released the ripple force of his palm to try to solve the structure of the Ming Stone Gate, but when he did this, his face changed slightly.

The ripples emitted from the palms did not sense anything wrong, and the position of the "stone gate" disappeared, as if there was no stone gate behind them in the first place, and the stone wall in front of them seemed to be hewn out of a grotto.

- There is no way out!

The ripple qigong could not penetrate the past, and there was no exit behind the stone wall. Only the rocky layers are as solid as a mountain. His corrugated qigong has limited penetration of inorganic objects, and it is impossible to speculate how thick this rock mass structure is, but at least it has a mass of more than 100 tons, which is not something that can be penetrated by human beings at all.

But at this point, Feng Han, who is a raider, has also figured out what is going on. This is the result of the script's line of guidance. I'm afraid that this road can only go forward and not backward......

"Calm down and listen to me. The back of the stone wall is sealed, it may be a trap or a trap, but I'm afraid we have no way back, and the only way out is to ...... forward."

He glanced at the group of task forces, and in terms of humans, they were all terrific elites with outstanding survival skills, but this time. I'm afraid few people will make it back alive.

"The communicator is also down, and no signal is received here......"

"Damn, what the hell is this place, how could this stone gate be gone!"

"Calm down, everyone, since it is related to SCP-140, it will not be that simple, watch out for possible enemies nearby......"

Fortunately, these people are all capable soldiers. There was no confusion due to the encountering of abnormal conditions. They quickly calmed down and began to think of ways out of their predicament.

"Is there really a door behind this stone wall? Can't you blow up a way with explosives? Someone frowned and thought of a bad idea.

"Silly. Who knows where this kind of environment is, and if the tunnel collapses, we will die. Others shook their heads.

"Then don't move forward for the time being, we'll wait here for reinforcements, didn't we make a mark in place?"

One of the task forces had carefully marked the outside, believing that the others would find it and rush to their aid.

"It's better not to be too naïve, who knows what the environment is like here. My opinion is the same as that of Mr. Feng Han, try to move forward, besides, we are not here to play, but here to reconnoitre......" The task force leader gave the order in a straight voice:

"Attention all. Gear up, check the food, supplies, and magazines, and get ready to move on in forty seconds until we find a way out!

The task force did not say a word, but responded with swift rearmament. Feng Han didn't say anything in the process, just watched this qiē quietly.

Forty seconds later, the team continued to set off, and under the light of the tactical flashlight, most of them could see the darkness directly in front of the road, almost swallowing up a qiē, and the ground under their feet was paved with cyan stone bricks.

"Where does it lead?"

Doubts were in the minds of all of them, and they moved slowly, not knowing how long, until they finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.

"There is light ahead, we have found a way out!"

With a burst of excitement in their hearts, they rushed towards the end of the corridor, but at the moment when they were about to reach the end of the corridor, their footsteps all stopped.

“11114、11115……”

Feng Han silently counted in his heart and calculated the distance. At this time, he had already noticed the footsteps of the person in front of him who had stopped, and his heart moved slightly, and he walked up.

In fact, the end of the tunnel is not a passageway, but a crack, which connects with the outside world, showing everyone present the scenery of the outside world—barren, desolate, a sand dune standing not far away, and a vast desert with no end in sight.

-- At the end of the road is a sea of sand, endless sand dunes, silent desert, and yellow turbidity as far as the eye can see.

…… His skin was uncomfortable, his breathing was rapid, and the hot, stuffy viscous air around him enveloped everyone. At this moment, a dry and hot wind blew from afar, setting off a gust of wind and sand, making everyone who walked out of the corridor shut their mouths.

"There can be a desert here, it's impossible! It must be an illusion, could it be that someone has also set up an illusion generation device here to confuse our perceptions? ”

Task Force Captain Monchi. Darren, whose hair was half gray, touched his bearded chin, told everyone to be vigilant, and asked the signal corps to continue to contact the outside world.

"Mr. Feng Han, what do you think......

He was not a stupid person, and after feeling that things were beyond his comprehension, he immediately chose to discuss with Feng Han. He knew the identity of Feng Han and the others, and clearly understood that they had extraordinary power, and besides, the two sides were in a cooperative relationship, so what was it to do if he didn't ask for help from the other party at this time.

Feng Han's face was calm, and he didn't seem to have any changes in his feelings because of the unexpected situation. But this is also normal, he has experienced indescribable, there are too many images beyond the norm, and the desert that appears in front of him may not be able to shake his mind.

"It's not an imaginary world, it's something real, it's a desert, and it's bigger than we can imagine......"

Feng Han began to observe the surroundings from the moment he stepped into the desert, and he saw some clues. Darren explained.

How did you come to this conclusion? Personally, I feel that this is most likely a trap to deceive us in terms of intelligence......"

Monchi. Darren was once a devout Christian, and although he worked for the SCP Foundation and participated in the containment, security, and containment of various paranormal events, he did not waver in his faith.

…… It is precisely because of his strong faith that he believes that the supernatural is nothing more than God's test for the world, just like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes, which are both natural phenomena and God's way of warning.

This mentality allowed him to surprisingly survive some terrible, difficult, and supernormal phenomena that were enough to destroy and distort people's minds, and he was not shaken in any way.

- This is also Monchi. Darren was able to serve as the leader of the task force for so many years, he was not afraid of the strange anomalies, all SCPs seemed to him to be God's creations, yes, in the eyes of a devout believer, he was convinced that the omniscient and all-powerful Creator held the authority over all things, and he said it...... Heaven, hell, demons, and demons are all God's creatures.

No matter what kind of twisted, unclean, and rebellious things are, they are just a cleansing and trial for the world.

There is nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, and the world will continue to run in order until the end comes, until God's judgment begins.

The desert that appeared in front of him right now was indeed ridiculous, but nine times out of ten it was just an illusion, and he had seen SCPs that could create illusions for people, but this time the scale of the illusion was a little too large.

"When I fought with the ghost before, I noticed that the other party has an ability to communicate with the otherworld, so this may be a different dimensional plane, otherwise many situations cannot be explained......"

Feng Han didn't know the other party's situation, but he had his own set of opinions. He held out his hand and pointed to the top of the sky.

"But the most important thing is that the thing above doesn't seem to be fake......"

Monchi raised his head and looked up at the sun above his head, indeed, there is a sun here, but if it is a real illusion, it should also be possible to forge a near-solar existence. …… Even, the temperature, airflow, and taste can be changed, forcibly distorting a person's five senses and creating a "real-world" form!

"Even if there is a sun, it doesn't prove anything, it's probably an illusory thing, including our senses, it can be manipulated, it may be an illusion that acts directly on the human brain."

"It is true that there is such a basis for your claim, but no illusion can bring into direct form some information that is completely absent from our minds......"

Feng Han lowered his body and squatted down, reached out to grab a handful of quicksand, and let it slip from his palm.

"If you can tell the boundary between the illusory and the real here, there is only the shadow of you and me......" (to be continued......
