Chapter 18: The Man Behind the Scenes
The big black bird of the eagle came back with fluttering wings, holding a silver ring in his mouth, Zhang Yang put the silver ring on one of the big bird's feet, and then said to it, "Go find Jiang Yuan." ”
The big black bird really seemed to understand, and actually nodded, and then fluttered its wings and flew away again.
I asked him, "Did you let this bird go to him, did you let him come and save us?" You've got a good idea, but."
The gunfire was intense, and I looked at him, "I'm afraid we can't wait." ”
I put my backpack at his feet, pulled out my dagger and handed it to him, then brought the two spare pistols in my gear bag, "I'll go and bring them back." ”
As soon as I left, I heard Zhang Yang say, "Without my order, the eagle will not come back, you take this with you." ”
As he spoke, he threw me a token, I recognized this, and it was this token that the Grasshopper used to ask Chuan to recall the Eagle They.
Caught the token, nodded at him, and then drilled out of the blast, just two steps before he tripped over a round thing, fortunately there was a thick yellow sand under his feet, and it didn't hurt much, and when he got up, it turned out to be the corpse of a python.
I turned on the miner's lamp, turned off the small searchlight on my head, and took a closer look, and I couldn't help but gasp.
The body of the python more than one meter long, it is impossible to see which part of the body it is, the gaps on both sides are uneven, and at first glance it is not cut with a knife or other tools, but is torn like this by a huge force.
Not far away, the gunfire began to intensify again, I didn't care about the strangeness here, hurriedly ran over, in the dark, I saw a figure in front of me, standing straight, I thought it was a gnats or an eagle, an arrow rushed over, said: "Stupid standing and being shot, what is the situation now." ”
No one paid any attention to me, I looked around and made sure that no danger was approaching, and as soon as I tried to turn around, I felt my left shoulder sink as if something was on it.
I have developed a good habit of not turning back easily even in a crisis situation, I first stood still, and then slowly approached my left shoulder with my hand, a dry tree bark-like thing under the furry layer.
I took a deep breath, rolled forward one after the other, got up and fired two shots at him, and after the gunshot, I turned on the searchlight above my head, and a "man" in camouflage uniform with a hideous and twisted facial expression was jumping towards me with his arms outstretched like a zombie.
I fired two more shots, one in the jaw and the other in the middle of the eyebrow, and he stopped for a moment and fell on his back.
After a minute of pause, I stood up and slowly approached the man, I recognized the camouflage uniform, knew where he came from, and it was because I knew his identity that I began to worry about something.
Holding the miner's lamp and flashlight, I turned on almost all the light sources, and I was extra careful with every step, corpse transformation will only appear in ancient tombs, because there will be corpses that have been specially treated before death, and they have corpse poison, but here, there should be no such thing.
I walked about a dozen steps, and in front of me was where we had negotiated with the sissy before, and not far from my feet, I saw a belt buckle, which was in the shape of an eagle's head, and I knew it was an eagle's thing, and when I picked it up, I found blood stains on the sand under the belt buckle.
A feeling of extreme unease instantly enveloped my world.
The gunshots rang out again, this time, not like a shootout, but like a struggle before death.
I followed the sound of the gunshots, and along the way I kept seeing blood stains, and there were also severed hands and some stumps of animals I don't know what they were, and I knew that the matter was very serious, and I only thought that the grasshopper and the eagle were still alive, and I thought about it, and I began to speed up my pace unconsciously.
Another gunshot rang out, it was very close to me, I had already judged the location of the accident, there was a fork in the passage, I chose the left, and then turned off all the lights so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
After walking for a while, I vaguely saw a little light on the surface of the sand layer in front of me, it was a miner's lamp, half of it was already buried in the sand, and the other half of the light was gradually weakening, I suddenly realized that it was not a battery problem, but it was sinking, and there was quicksand there.
Underground quicksand is very rare, but also the deadliest.
I touched myself, there was no rope or anything like that, at this time, I heard something squirming not far away, and I felt it with my foot, and it was a big python.
Pregnant.
I turned on the miner's lamp, and then pushed the dying python to the quicksand bunker, and stepped on it, and in these few seconds, I retrieved the miner's lamp, and at the same time, I also saw a hand under the miner's lamp, I knew that it was not a grasshopper and an eagle, because their hands belonged to the piano hand, and the fingers were white and slender, although they were not as good as a woman, but they were about the same, and this hand, the fingers were short and thick, it was not that I was ruthless, but I couldn't take risks, and besides, this person had been buried under the sand for so long, waiting for me to rescue him, Those who lack medical care and medicine may not be able to live.
I jumped to safety with the miner's lamp and stepped on the python, and took a long breath, watching the big snake struggle in the quicksand, and I could only silently recite a few words of mantra to it.
The fact that no other bodies were seen along the way meant that they were still alive.
I consoled myself with that, and at the same time I hoped it was true.
There was silence all around, and with every step I took, I could clearly hear the rustle of the soles of my shoes colliding with the sand, and the air around me instantly cooled, and I knew that it was not a change in temperature, but a psychological effect of me, and my fear.
Following the direction of the gunshots, we came to an intersection, which was a strange place, and we had not just walked this way, but there were many clay pots piled up on the side of the passage, and the ground and the walls on both sides were made of a very strange stone.
In order to save battery, I turned off the miner's lamp and strong flashlight again, leaving only the searchlight above my head, and walked for about ten minutes, I vaguely heard someone calling me, the voice was very familiar, I thought it was my own auditory hallucination, I stood in place for a while, I felt that there was nothing special and continued to walk forward, but as soon as I raised my foot, I heard the voice again, and he called me: "Boss." ”
I knew it was a grasshopper, because only he would call me that, I subconsciously looked around, this passage was not wide, at a glance, there was no one in front and behind, I thought again that I was hallucinating because I was afraid, just as I raised my foot again, I suddenly felt someone pounce from above my head, and then pounced on me, at the same time, I also heard someone jumping from above, more than one.
I got up from the ground, and just as I was about to curse, I saw a dozen people standing in front of me, and all of them were embarrassed, one of them pulled me and threw me behind, I took a look at it, and in front of the passage, a mutated oversized lizard was slowly coming towards us, and at the same time, behind him, I could faintly see some green clothes moving.
