XXVII. The largest desert
When I saw the door in the enclosed space, it was as if I had seen a memory of the past, and the ins and outs of the whole thing were clear, but we only understood Pangu's purpose but only undercounted what they were looking for, what was Pangu looking for? And what are the inhabitants of Immortal Island hiding?
"Lao Li, you go and take all our camels down."
"What's going on? Did you find anything? Xie Chenhui asked.
"I've seen this door, and I suspect it's an entrance to the underworld, which means that if we can open it, we might really be somewhere else."
"Gumo?"
"It won't be Gumo, the ancient city of Gumo shouldn't be here, Gumo is in the Taklamakan Desert, but I think there may be a way to the Taklamakan Desert below this, and the underground world is all figured out, so I asked Lao Li to bring the camel over!"
"I don't understand it, but can you open this door?"
"You guys standing on the stairs and looking around, maybe hey! Mingzig, go and ask the black lama up there, he's in charge of feeding the worm, he should know where the door is opened and closed. ”
After I ordered some things, I sat alone in the same place, the fat man was gone, it stands to reason that I am the only one who can take over his stall, but I don't understand his people, the first is dawn, he has never spoken to me again since that time in Shennongjia, he is not strange, I am not strange, but he has a lot of time to slip away, why is he still there? The second one was the guy who the fat man had invited to make a camel with us, and he was at the top of the stairs, and he kept greeting me when I looked up.
We waited at the bottom of the stairs in boredom, and I talked to the man, who said he was a paleontologist. I have been looking for a bug in the Gobi before. The Death Worm, also known as the intestinal worm, is said to come out of the center of the earth, and if that were the case, there might be a lot of ancient creatures underground.
I thought to myself, what is a bug? If you go with us to the sea below Shennongjia, I guess you'll be too scared by that dragon to speak. After chatting for a while, I saw the sound of a dripping camel walking from above. Then a very small voice came down.
"What are their people shouting?" I asked.
"I can't hear you clearly, it seems that what is going to be said?" A man named Xiao Liuzi said to me.
"Two monkeys, what about you?" I turned to the paleontologist and asked.
"The door opened, and he said it was going to open." The strangely named paleontologist shouted, "The door is open, the door is open, everyone be careful." ”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a creak, and the door opened. Powerful winds poured in from the world below, and darkness and darkness docked in this place, dynamite! Dynamite! I said it out loud, but to my surprise, there was nothing down there.
"Light," I said, and then a few flashlights shone down, and I saw that there was still a desert below us, but there were still a few trees and plants in these deserts, because there was no light all year round, and these plants had formed and did not need photosynthesis to survive.
"It's not high, we can jump." Wang Yang said.
"Don't act rashly." I said, "None of us know what's down there." You can put a few cameras down. ”
"Okay." As he spoke, the young man took a couple of green spherical objects and threw them down. Then turn on our surveillance computer, from the surveillance footage it seems that this place belongs to a half-desert and half-Gobi place, because there are many places with bare dry land, and there are some animals crawling between the trees.
"It's a complete ecosystem, it's not a desert, but it can give birth to species that are unique to the desert, but it's precisely because of this that other creatures can continue to breed here." The second monkey spared his hair and said, "Well, please adjust the flight altitude of the monitor to a lower level." ”
"What's wrong? What did you find? ”
"Xiao Du, look." After the monitor was lowered, the two monkeys pointed to a piece of sand on the screen and said, "This place is very big, very big, big. This is a drag of sand blown out by the wind, similar to a terraced field, do you know what this means? Indicates that there is enough space underneath this. In this way, there will be enough air flow to form the wind to blow such an effect, and if we want to go down, we are likely to get lost in it. ”
"5 people, give me 5 people and let me go down."
"What about the others?"
"Alexander's reinforcements are coming, you are here watching us, if I haven't come out in ten days, you will go."
"Let's go?" Minggig walked up and down and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go back to your own house and find your own mother."
"Xiao Du, are you okay! You don't seem to be emotionally stable lately. Let's take a long-term view. ”
"If the fat man is not dead, he is down there, if he is alive, can we still remember it for a long time?"
"You have something on your mind, and it feels like you're looking for death." Mingzig said, "I heard the underground desert, don't you know? In the Taklamakan Desert, there is a legend that there is a desert underneath the desert. At the bottom of that desert there is a race called the Ghost Cave Clan, and there were some scientists who tried to look for the Ghost Cave Clan but all died in the underground desert, but so far no one has encountered the entrance to the underground. ”
"You want to say that this desert is likely to lead all the way to Taklamakan ? How big that must be! ”
"So you can't go down, and if you go down, you're going to die. And you haven't seen that kind of worm, it's big, very big, it's a death bug, and no one can escape its mouth. ”
Mingjig said that I was indeed stupid, not wrong, I wanted to die, I did want to die below, because I felt that my existence was meaningless, but could I not estimate the life and death of other people? I don't care so much, not only to die, but also to know where my memories come from? I have no memory, and my reason for being.
"Two monkeys, are you going?" I asked.
"I'll go, I'll go! I gave most of the money for this operation, can I not go? ”
"Dawn, what about you?"
"I'm not going."
"That's good! Two monkeys, Wang Yang, Xiao Liuzi, Shunzi, and me. We want all the supplies and all the camels. Xiao Xu, can you contact the outside and tell him about our situation here, and ask Alexander to come over quickly. "I counted the numbers and thought about their future.
"I can contact them, if you insist on going down, but you have to bring the material with you! And the desert down there is really big. He turned around and showed me his screen, which was already covered in snowflakes "500 meters!" The four monitors, the control range of 500 meters in four directions, etc., still do not see the edge. ”
An hour later, we moved all the equipment and materials and those camels to the top of the ghost gate, I know that the person who set up this gate is below, and the so-called ghost cave clan must be the same as the alien race of Xiandao, so I still have to go down anyway, no matter where I come from, I will find out the matter of Pangu first, otherwise I can't even explain the cause of the old man's death.
The rope quickly lowered us all, and when we reached the ground, I immediately looked around with my gun, and there were many bones nearby, but most of them were headless, presumably eaten by insects fed by the Black Lama. "But what are we going to do next?" Wang Yang asked.
"This is where the Black Lama built, and I think I should have them leave that old man behind." Xiao Liuzi said suddenly.
"It's not a big problem." I swept the ground with my flashlight, "This is the Black Lama's construction, I don't think his purpose in building this place is definitely not to feed a broken worm, I think he is also looking for the secret below, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort." ”
"Are you saying that the reason why the Black Lama built the bunker here is for the entrance to this underground world?"
"So to speak?" We talked about our opinions and searched for them, and soon found a way for people to come out. "Since there is a road here, it must lead somewhere! The Black Lama has been guarding this place, so let's take a look at the end of this road! (To be continued......)
