Chapter 167: Underground
Tick!
A drop of rain fell on Wu Zhen's shoulder and was caught by his sensitive ears.
Well? Wu Zhen raised his head and saw that the sky was very transparent, as if nothing existed. It's a tranquil dust-free sky.
The rain stopped.
The sky was clear, and under the sky, twelve people stood around a large hole, each thinking.
"Was this hole already there, or was it dug when the monster escaped?" Xiang Qing frowned, thinking about this crucial question.
If they were excavated temporarily, then why did they panic and flee? Is there any danger encountered? Is this danger something these people can handle? If it wasn't excavated temporarily, then, was it dug by strange insects? Why did they dig all those holes? What's in the hole?
Come to think of it, all these people need is a reason to convince themselves. They want to go on, everyone is, those who have tasted the sweetness want to get more, and the few people who have not been promoted are even more frizzy and panicked about the benefits of others.
Gradually, everyone noticed that the sky had changed, and the rain was no longer falling. That's good news, the rain has stopped and they can continue on their way. Wu Zhenhe and Xiang Nan they are going to the other end of the road, whether there is a conspiracy or not, they will not die if they don't go to see, Wu Zhen wants to kill and kill. He didn't think there was a real way to live.
Zhao Chenwei and the others are not all the way with Wu Zhen, they may have their own tasks, where they come from and where they want to go is their own problem, and soon after, the two teams may be separated.
Only this section of the road underground, these people will walk together.
"Did the strange insects run away because the rain stopped?" Liu Dong's casual words were like a bomb, and the rest of the people thought about it along this line, it was too possible. When the rain first fell, there were no strange insects nearby, at that time, there was no effect of rain, their facial features were more acute, if there were strange insects eating the wall, they would definitely be able to feel it, so many people did not notice, it means that at that time, the strange insects had not yet appeared.
Only when the rain is heavy, the strange insects begin to appear, and they will be heard by the ears of Wu Zhen and Zhao Chenwei, and now, the rain has become smaller, and then stopped, with this logic, the strange insects will naturally leave.
If this is really the reason, the appearance and departure of the strange insect did not hide too many things, and even if there was something hidden, everyone could deal with it. In short, strange bugs
In just a few seconds, everyone made a decision, fight for it!
The hole in the ground is big enough for a person to go down, but I don't know the depth, let alone what is going on below, so I still need to make some preparations. There are still one or two large holes in the distance, but since the three batches of strange insects disappeared at the same time, they should belong to the same group, and the underground holes should be interconnected.
It's better to go down from a hole, and it's better to deal with emergencies when there are more people. And there are still a few wounded soldiers in the team, so it is better to take care of each other when there are more people.
Among these people, Wu Zhen is still in the best condition, and the others are more or less tired. Wu Zhen left directly to look for useful things, and the rest stayed by the cave to rest.
A minute later, Wu Zhen returned with a few white candles and a bundle of hemp rope.
The half-collapsed small building exposed strong steel bars, and Wu Zhen pumped the steel bars. Take out a few and tie the hemp rope to the remaining steel bars. It's pulled, and it's sturdy.
Wu Zhen tied a stone weighing dozens of catties at the front end of the rope, and then slowly continued downward.
One meter ...... Two meters ......
In the eyes of everyone, the rope disappeared little by little, which also represented an increase in the depth of the hole. Every time they added one meter, their expressions changed a little, and in the end, they had exceeded five meters, and they were still down, and Peng Hui couldn't help but retreat.
"In the end."
Wu Zhen's words shocked everyone's spirits.
Kiss!
Wu Zhen guessed that the rope was at the end of the rope from the change in force, and he could hear a soft sound in his ears, but this sound was very strange, and the sound of the stone falling to the ground should not be like this.
The rope continued to go down, it stands to reason that the stone has fallen to the ground, Wu Zhen should no longer feel the weight of the stone, but he can still clearly feel that the stone is falling downward, the speed is getting slower and slower, and at the same time, the force is gradually decreasing, but the force of this downward pull is still heavier than the rope itself, which also means that the stone is not yet finished.
"There's water down there."
Wu Zhen estimated that he had touched the surface of the water when he touched the stone. It has been raining for so long, and it is normal for there to be water under the cave.
"In the end!"
The strength of his hand suddenly loosened, and the stone had touched the bottom of the hole.
People who have been nervous for a long time are relieved, just a simple measurement of the depth makes them extremely nervous, fortunately, the depth is only a little more than six meters, which is acceptable.
"The hole is six and a half meters deep, and the water is one meter deep, let's go down!"
Wu Zhen stuck to the rope and slowly climbed down. The rest of the people were waiting at the entrance of the cave.
"Come down!" Wu Zhen's voice came out, and it seemed that he was in a very shallow place, and he hadn't reached the end yet.
The second one went down to the south, and he was only four meters down, when an arm suddenly stretched out next to him, startling him.
"That's it, no more."
It turned out to be Wu Zhen's voice.
Catch to the south. Holding Wu Zhen's arm, he jumped to the place where he was standing, and when he got closer, he could see that behind Wu Zhen was a passage, less than a person high, and there were still one or two dead strange insects on the ground, looking inside, he couldn't see anything, it was black, and he didn't know what was hiding. It seems that the strange worms escaped from here, and in that case, they really didn't need to go down to the end. The entrance to the cave is very irregular, with deep imprints, which is indeed the masterpiece of strange insects.
A candle lit up, illuminating a meter or two of the two of them, and further inside, it was still dark, and the irregular hole was like a monster with a wide mouth, and they were the prey of self-defeating.
A man climbed down the rope. Xiang Qing is the last one.
"Do you want to break this rope?"
"Leave a way back!"
Looking at the hole in front of them, everyone's hearts were a little frightened, in case they couldn't find a way out after entering, there was a way to retreat.
"Let's go! Find the bugs, then kill them! ”
It was Wu Zhen who was at the forefront. He is the strongest and can withstand the frontal onslaught of any enemy. In case he can't resist it, then pray that the enemy will move quickly and give them a good time.
They came down to kill monsters and insects to grab the base, but somehow, after coming down, their mood became a lot more depressed, maybe humans are not suitable for the dark environment here!
There is a burning candle at the head and end of the team, the candlelight is flickering, and there is wind in the passage, which at least means that there is still a road ahead, which is also good news.
Ground.
The five brothers reappeared.
"Are they looking for the bugs? Hey! Then let's go too. Set off in five minutes! ”
Song Xuan looked at the hanging rope and felt proud in his heart.
