Chapter 51: The Root of Madness (I)
This time, it doesn't seem to be as smooth as the previous ones, in the past, as long as it took a while, you would be roughly aware of the location of the spar, but this time I don't know what the reason is, and there was no reaction in my mind for a long time.
Gao He had no choice but to slowly walk back along the position of the base in the helmet. Along the way, he was still slowly trying to find the trace of the hedron, but there was no clear sense.
This time he went out for more than two hours, and after Gao He turned off the communicator, there was basically no other information in the base except for his location. Maybe he was puzzled by the place where he was found for an hour. This Gao He is not afraid to explain, and he is now covered in water stains, and they can understand it almost without saying anything.
Strange place, according to Xu Meinu, this should be a good place to be able to find spars, how can this be? I don't know what Xu Meinu will think when I go back and find out that this is the case.
In the southerly direction, there was a strange feeling, but it was certainly not the smell of the hedron found. It was very eerie, I don't know what it was, Gao He felt that it was necessary to take the spar back and then go over and take a look.
Parents and Xu Meinu have been waiting a little anxiously, although this is the first spar, but is the time too long? It wasn't until I watched the red dot representing Gao He on the screen slowly return that I was relieved.
The alert team brought this time didn't know their mission, and always thought that the research center was going to collect local material samples, Gao He went out alone, although he knew that he would not be in any danger, but he was still a little worried. Gao He returned, and everyone was very happy.
After going out for such a long time, he only brought back a blue spar, and he was surprised to see the beautiful woman who had seen Gao He looking for the spar before. However, seeing that Gao He was covered in water, it was estimated that the location he was looking for this time was also very unusual, so he didn't say much.
After resting for a while at the base, there was no night here, and it still felt awkward. However, Gao He still had some doubts about the eerie feeling on the way back, which was very uncomfortable. He didn't tell any of them, but he planned to go and see it alone.
On this planet, it seems that Takatsuru goes out, and no one who knows Takatsuru will say anything. In the time of the energy war, Gao He was able to walk through the jungle alone, and now when it is so peaceful, there will be no problem.
When he first came out, the gloomy feeling seemed to be a little weaker, and Gao He took the knife and slowly touched it over there. I don't know what kind of place it is, but there is no particularly obvious spar feeling around anyway, only that place is very suspicious.
There is a rainforest everywhere, and many of the creatures in it, the crane, are familiar and basically not dangerous. Standing on this planet, which is particularly suitable for plant growth, there are towering trees everywhere, which makes people feel very small.
The eerie feeling in front seems to be getting stronger and stronger, however, the taste has changed, on the contrary, there is a taste that makes people's blood boil inside. Gao He always felt that something was wrong, it shouldn't be like this here.
With the non-stop mantra in his head and the cool breath that kept running in his body, Gao He forcibly pressed his more and more imminent thoughts and slowly moved forward.
There are obviously some traces of artificial modification here, and the knife marks on it are still very clear, could it be that this is one of the battlefields where the soldiers who landed before landed? However, there were no other marks of using energy weapons around, so could it be that those soldiers landed only with sabers?
No way, it's absolutely impossible. Gao He threw away the thoughts in his head and continued to search. There is no road here at all, there are no traces of people stepping on the ground, and the knife marks that have just been discovered are also slightly higher than people, could it be a native life born here?
It is even more unlikely, if there is intelligent life on this planet, why has it not been discovered for so long. Gao He must have been scarred, not the paw prints or tooth marks of some giant animal. Someone has shown up here!
I don't know why, but after staying here for a while, the blood in my body seems to be a little excited, and I want to vent crazy. How is it possible that a chicken that is common on the earth jumped out in front! Gao He shook his head, closed his eyes, recited the mantra a few times, and opened his eyes again, and there was nothing there.
Is it a hallucination? Gao He was a little unsure. Moving forward, I don't know what the reason is in my body, but I am a little crazy. Fortunately, the cool breath allowed Gao He to stay awake at all times, suppressing Gao He's overflowing ** for a while, Gao He couldn't help but jump up and shout wildly.
There must be something wrong here, and Takatsuru can already be sure. I just don't know why, is that what makes those cold-blooded animals crazy? If Gao He himself can't hold back, it is indeed very possible.
However, animal madness is within the scope of the entire planet, and it shouldn't be like this! I just felt the fainter and fainter eerie smell when I came out, could it be that the scope of influence of this thing is getting smaller and smaller?
There must be something ahead, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Gao He also let go, stayed in place for a while, and recited the mantra several times in his heart, keeping himself awake all the time, and began to move on.
There are always hallucinations in front of me, either this or that, which are things that Gao He is familiar with but will never have on this planet. Fortunately, as soon as this happens, the cool breath in Gao He's body can always make Gao He's brain cold, and then with the help of mantras, he can quickly recover immediately.
Moving on, a large clearing appeared in front of me. It's strange that above this clearing, there are still a lot of plant branches and leaves stretching out next to it, covering the sky densely, and from the air, it is estimated that this place will not be found at all. Otherwise, such an obvious clearing in the rainforest would have been seen clearly.
Now Takatsuru is completely certain that this place must be man-made. Around the clearing, the trunks of several neatly cut towering giant trees lay quietly on the side, if it were not for human behavior, these trees would not have cut themselves so neatly and stacked so neatly.
The crazy aura here is even stronger, and Gao He can't help it. Now Gao He can only stand in place, frantically reciting mantras. Every step takes a lot of time. Turning on the light on his helmet, Takatsuru began to take a closer look at the clearing.
There was a bunch of lines of various colors on the ground, and I don't know what drew them. The shape was very regular, but Gao He couldn't tell what this thing looked like for a while. In the place where the lines passed, there were several small platforms made of wood made of local materials, and there were several strange trays on the platforms, and on the trays were the energy crystals that Gao He hoped to find the most this time.
There are five small platforms with five hedrons apparently placed on them. However, for some unknown reason, these five spars are particularly dim, and they are much smaller than the spars found by Gao He, somewhat similar to the stones found in the center of the earthquake. It's all kinds of colors, silver, yellow, green, blue, red.
Strange things, strange lines, strange small platforms, Gao He closed his eyes, for fear that he would still hallucinate, and recited the mantra several times in his heart, and the cool breath in his body also turned around a few times like crazy, and the boiling blood in Gao He's heart began to calm down.
Suddenly, a strange voice next to him attracted Gao He's attention, and an unknown monster that was not very big rushed towards Gao He frantically. At this time, Gao He was not a rookie in recruit training, so he gently avoided it, and calmly cut the monster in half.
It's so strange, Gao He looked at the ultrasonic generator in his hand, it was still working normally. It stands to reason that the little monster should have avoided it from afar, how could such a strange situation happen here? What does the crazy monster, the feeling of fading in the distance, mean?
Could it be that the first landing campaign on the energy planet was man-made? Gao He was suddenly startled by the thought that popped into his head. It is unforgivable to issue an untimely order for the sake of one's own political achievements, or to overthrow one's political enemies, and let those soldiers die in a place full of beasts. But if they go further, even these mad beasts are arranged by them, then they will not be able to erase their guilt even if they die ten thousand times.
Gao He turned on his camera and began to shoot little by little what he had just seen. Just at this opportunity, Takatsuru calmed down his spirit that he almost fell into a hallucination because of resisting monsters.
After all these things were filmed, Gao He insisted on stepping forward step by step, trying to take the green spar closest to him off the platform. It's just that these seemingly ordinary steps have made Gao He suffer enough.
Every time he took a step closer, Gao He's mind seemed to be doubly instilled with a bunch of crazy irritability, if it weren't for Gao He's insistence on reciting mantras frantically at every step, it was estimated that it would not be possible to even lean over, and he would already be crazy on the periphery.
From the beginning of Gao He's stride to the small platform, there were only less than twenty steps, but these twenty steps seemed like an unbridgeable chasm. Gao He was missing the crutches a little at this time, and if the crutches were still in his hand, he should be able to easily solve these problems by aiming at a wooden platform.
But now, I can only rely on my own body, step by step. Those small platforms were on the edge of the figures on the ground, and those figures actually seemed to have a strong repulsive force, at least as Gao He could see, outside the circle on the ground, at least a few meters away, they were all clean, not even a single fallen leaf.
