"No, this door won't open." The cracks in the gate were sealed with molten iron and human skins, and the white human skins were revealed in the darkness after we wiped off the dust and sand, and the empty eyes looked at us deadly, and the dry and dim blood stains on one side of the gate were sprinkled all over the gate.

"The city is closed, we can't enter, use living people as sacrifices, use human blood as seals, this is the rhythm of surrounding the whole city."

"The October Siege?" I complained.

"It's not just ten months, such a closure is equivalent to burying the city, you look at those blood stains and human skins, they are all nobles and royal family members in the city, in order to guard the exit here."

"There's a for this, huh?"

"It's not about the living, it's about the dead, don't you remember? The people of Gumo are actually the immortal people of the Wuqi Kingdom, and they will not die. Xie Chenhui said.

"So in this case, there is a good chance that there are still people in there? Some are the living dead who have been dead for thousands of years and their hearts can't beat? ”

"It stands to reason that way. But there's one thing I still don't understand, what we've been here all the way to. So many people died, so many incredible things happened, although it was not to say that we had overcome difficulties, but we even lost the boss, and then we stood here, but we found that we didn't know what to do. ”

"It's not something you need to think about, it's all the boss's business, and our purpose is to do it." Xie Chenhui knocked him on the head and jumped into the trench below.

"Don't mess with him, I guess he's more confused than any of us now." I whispered in Wang Yang's ear and jumped down as well. But when I jumped down, I thought about it, but I still raised my head and shouted to Wang Yang. "Wang Yang, you take down as many things as possible."

The depth of the trench was very deep, and there was almost some sand underneath, but the sand had been hard as flat after years of accumulation, and we walked in this trench, little by little, along the direction of the ditch. It wasn't long before I saw a sign of a man-made dig in the dirt on the edge.

"It's a deep water line, it's not a trench, it's a river." Xie Chenhui immediately reflected, "This is the river that flows out of the city, I think we can get into it from here." ”

"The river? It's a joke, is there water here? Not to mention the water, not even the rain. ”

Watercourse? I suddenly thought of the map of Gumo that I had found in the ancient tomb. I still vaguely remember what was on the map, and I immediately shook my head, "No, there should be water here, do you remember the Sea of Yellow Springs, that is, the sea area below Shennongjia?" It was an underground water, and I think that water had spread here, otherwise these underground inhabitants would never have survived. ”

Xie Chenhui nodded, we didn't say anything, and continued to walk towards the end of the river. After a detour, we finally saw a concave water gate blocked by an iron fence. "This city is sealed." That's when he spoke.

"Is it because this water gate is closed?" I crouched down and picked up a bit of sand from the river. "No, the rivers here are full of sand, not the so-called mud, and if you think that if the water gate was closed, then there would have been a lot of stagnant water, even silt, but that's not the case now. By the way, do you remember what the fat man said to the Gumo people before? It is said that it crawled out of the ground in the dark of the day and night, but did this city really exist underground in the first place? I don't think so. I think something happened at some point in time that caused the ground to subside, and they became the inhabitants of the underground. You must know that Gumo is indeed a country that has been verified in history. ”

"Crunch" I heard the sound of the iron railing breaking in my ears, "Don't talk nonsense yet, let's come in and talk." Wang Yang said hello to us, and he got into it as soon as he got bored.

Because this is not a tomb, we will not be very worried about the lack of air circulation inside, but when Xie Chenhui and I followed Wang Yang's ass in, we found that the place we went to was not the interior of a city, but a sewer full of pungent smell. Surprisingly, there was quite a lot of dirt piled up inside the sewer

The space in this place is not very large, but it is large enough for two people to walk side by side, but it is small compared to the sewers in the city today, so I walked to a wall and reached out and touched the thin layer of colored glass on the wall, which is made of mineral and chemical raw materials in a certain proportion of grinding to make glaze. It is applied to the surface of the green body and calcined at a certain temperature. That is, the glaze is a necessity for the construction of ancient sewers, because the glaze layer is smooth and does not obstruct the flow of liquid due to the growth of algae.

"Is this a clay pipe?" Wang Yang asked.

"That's right! An impermeable ceramic tube made of glazed inner and outer surfaces made of clay. Xie Chenhui said: "It's just that such a large sewer is something that has never been heard of in ancient times." ”

"Whatever!" I put on my filtered mask, saddled my backpack, and walked forward.

"There must be a demon in the abnormal, don't you know this sentence?" Xie Chenhui ran two steps to catch up, but he didn't wear a mask, but picked up the submachine gun with one hand.

I glanced at him with a smile and said helplessly, "How many years have passed in this place, how can there be a demon?" Take 10,000 steps back, this place is a sewer, even if there is a demon, it can't be in this place? ”

"It's better for you all to be careful."

"yes, I see." I nodded, and pulled out the machine gun as well. Indeed, as Xie Chenhui said, this place is a little wrong, just imagine, how much water must be released from such a large sewer? But why did the canal outside the water gate become so small again? If you judge according to normal thinking, then I can only say that this huge water crossing system, in fact, only half of the space is water flowing, so what about the other half?

The tense nerves made me take extra care with every step behind, and the pungent smell in the space became stronger and stronger, and even some smoke like fog appeared. I was afraid that there was some poisonous gas in front of me, so I asked Wang Yang to light a candle and put it over.

"Wait a minute, the fog is still moving, does that mean there is an exit ahead?" Xie Chenhui lost his vigilance for the first time and wanted to rush forward.

I knew that it was actually just a mental illusion that I had created for myself after panicking, so I hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him, "Things are not in a hurry for this minute, just like crossing the street, stop for three minutes without a second." Then he gave Wang Yang a look.

Of course, Wang Yang also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately lit a candle and stepped forward, but as he walked, Wang Yang stopped in front.

"What's going on?" After a few seconds, Xie Chenhui shouted.

"There's an animal skeleton here."

"Animals?" I asked, "What do animals have?" This place was originally a sewer, maybe rats or something, and they often take care of it! ”

"No, no, I've never seen this skeleton before." As he spoke, Wang Yang squatted down and put the candle on the ground, and then stepped back a position so that we could just see the skeleton on the ground.

The bone is 4.2 m long, and at the tip of the long spine bone is a small skull. The other end of the bone, the lower part of the body, has been broken and lost, so it's not clear what it looks like. But it can be seen that it is a very long animal. The skull is as sharp as a bird's beak, and on the left and right sides are two pieces that look like tactile organs, and if there is skin, it may be a long tentacle.

"Snakes?"

"No, it's not a snake. Here's one. Wang Yang paused, perhaps thinking that none of the creatures he knew could match this thing, and then said slowly, "Monster? ”

"Block Island monsters?" At this time, Xie Chenhui opened his mouth and said.

"What did you say?"

"I heard early years that the corpse of such a monster was once found on a beach on an island in the southern state of Rhode Island."

"So you think there's such a monster here?"

"No, that's not the case, don't interrupt me just yet, the monster of Block Island is said to never leave his body anywhere, and if there is, then his companions will run thousands of miles to the place where he died and eat his body."

As soon as Xie Chenhui's words were finished, we immediately realized the nature of the matter, this place may not be a pipe through a huge flow of water, but a ground that provides access for monsters, the reason why there is no soil outside the water gate is not because there is no water flow, but every time this behemoth enters and exits, it will take away the things around the canal one at a time, so those dirt will appear inside. "We can't stay here for long." Wang Yang turned around and was about to leave.

"What are you afraid of after all this time?" I grabbed him right away.

But as soon as I finished speaking, I felt the whole dark sewer vibrate, and a pungent smell came to my face.

"If you don't leave, it's too late." Wang Yang roared.

"We'll die when we go back." I yelled at him too.

At this time, the space in the sewer began to rustle, and something fell from above, which were part of the clay pipe, and then most of the dust fell into the sky. "Don't be afraid if we have guns, this city falls from the ground, and every solar eclipse opens a passage to the surface, and that's the only way we can get out." I shouted to them in a roaring voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”

I said that, but all I saw was their gray faces, and when I turned around, a huge shadow was reflected on the wall of the sewer under the shadow of the candle. (To be continued......)
