Chapter 40: Black Smoke
Looking at Lu Keqin's surprised appearance, I said, "Is it more surprising than those in the village at the bottom of the lake?" ”
"It's two different things, it's man-made, and fossils are naturally formed." Lu Keqin looked around and said, "If it's really like what you think, there should always be something else in the village where human beings live, such as living utensils, trees, fences, flowers and plants, how can there only be houses?" ”
"I can't figure it out either, that's why I'm looking for it!"
"Why don't you two go quickly, why are you rubbing in the back?" Lu Dachuan found out that Keqin and I had fallen behind, and shouted.
"Oh." Lu Keqin pulled me into the team and told my brother my thoughts.
"I also have suspicions in this regard," Lu Dachuan looked at me, "Have you found out?" ”
I shook my head: "There are some large and small bumps on the ground, I suspect they are utensils or something, but I can neither see the shape nor the gaps, so I can't judge." ”
"Remember where the stone you saw up there that looked like a courtyard wall was?"
I turned around and looked around: "These stones are blocking the view, we have to find the cliff we came down as a reference." ”
Lu Dachuan recalled the route he walked in, pointed in one direction and said, "It should be in that direction." ”
"Go this way." I walked to the front of the line and led the way between two stones on the left that were close together.
Walking through three rows of stone-like houses, a large walled stone appeared on the right, which was noticeably much larger and more imposing than the surrounding stones.
We walked up and walked around the perimeter from left to right, and saw that the four walls were intact, and there was a door in the front and back, and the back door was like a house door, and it looked like a door but could not be pushed, and there were two people side by side as wide; There is no gate in front, and the wide doorway allows two large trucks to pass side by side.
Entering the wall, the first thing that bears the brunt is a large stone plate with a diameter of about ten meters and a height of one meter; On the left, next to the wall, stands a rectangular boulder; A large area on the right is empty until the base of the wall. Seven or eight meters behind the stone plate, the huge stone blocks enclosed by the stone wall looked like a magnificent hall, and in front of them stood six stone pillars of the kind we had seen on the stone platform outside the cave.
Seeing the stone pillar Liu Fashan's heart, his heart itched, and he couldn't help but step forward to pull the horns on the snake's head. One by one, he shook his head at us in disappointment.
Liu Fashan walked over and stood beside Lu Dachuan: "What should I do next?" ”
In addition to the stones in front of him, it was dark, there was no edge around, there was no top on his head, he couldn't feel the wind on his face, and there was silence in his ears, Lu Dachuan turned his head a little dazed and said: "It is estimated that it is midnight now, everyone is tired, let's eat something to replenish our strength first!" ”
"It's not good to rest here!?" I looked at the stone hall in front of me and said, "This one is the most conspicuous of all the stones, and they will definitely come here too." ”
"They brought high-powered lights and flares, and it was impossible for them to come without them, and we could easily find out. I'm worried about the unexpected beasts here. Lu Dachuan sat down on the spot, "You have no experience in exploration, so I don't know, in this whole stone formation, there is no better place to rest than this, with a wide view around and a wall......"
"I see." I also sat on the ground.
"Don't stand stupid, everybody." Lu Dachuan said as he unloaded the backpack on his shoulder, brought it to the front, did not pull the zipper, and his hand reached directly into the hole to pick up something.
There was a whirl-la sound, and everyone sat on the ground, forming a circle, leaving a small lamp. Dorjee lay beside Daddy Boba, panting "haha". It was the busiest along the way, running in front of people and behind people, sniffing around and urinating everywhere.
Being chased by people and running away, everyone was indeed tired and hungry, and they had nothing to say after taking out the food, and they could only hear a wolf-swallowing sound in their ears. Daddy Boba took out a piece of dried meat and threw it to Dorjee, and he crawled on the side, holding the meat with both paws and gnawing it with relish.
When my stomach was almost filled, I asked about the specific situation of Lu Dachuan being attacked by a human bat and falling into the canyon.
He swallowed the contents of his mouth, took a sip of water and said: "After stepping on the air, my body kept falling, and my eyes could not see anything, but I felt the wind in my ears, and I thought to myself." It's over' I closed my eyes and thought about Keqin and the big guy on it, thinking about my family in Beijing, thinking about it, suddenly a blunt force almost pulled my shoulder off the shoulder, and figured out what was hanging from the backpack, I had the motivation to live again, my hands carefully touched around in the dark, I couldn't touch anything for a while, I wanted to turn around and grab the thing hanging from the bag, I was afraid that the shoulder strap would slip off and I was afraid that the bag would not be able to hold up and tear, and I didn't dare to make a big move......"
We listened so hard that we stopped eating.
"That taste is worse than death!" Lu Dachuan sighed, and then said, "'If you can't go up, it's a big deal!'" I said to myself, raised my arms for the last fight, and my ears rang 'zaza', and before I could figure out what was happening, I felt that my feet were being held up by something...... When the fire was lit, I saw that it was a bridge......"
After speaking, Lu Dachuan remembered Chen San and asked Hu Xiaoming, who came with him: "What is Chen San doing?" How could he get his hands on a submachine gun? ”
Hu Xiaoming was surprised: "You don't know him? ”
Lu Dachuan asked him confused: "He came with you, how can I know him!?" ”
"I thought he was your friend!" Hu Xiaoming shook his round head and said, "I only met him before I came." He added my QQ number and asked me if I was from Chengdu? I said yes and asked him what was the matter? He asked me if I would go on an expedition this time. I said go. He asked again, are you in Chengdu now? I said yes. He said that he was also in Chengdu, could he have a companion? I said of course. ”
Lu Dachuan said inexplicably: "There is one more." ”
"What?"
"I guess it's the same as the gang that followed us."
Everyone was nervous.
"Don't worry, he won't wait until now if he wants to hurt us." Lu Dachuan said.
"But where has he gone?" Zhang Xiaohu recalled the scene all the way over, "I was still staring at him on the bridge. ”
"Leave him alone, rest for another ten minutes, if they don't come, we have to find a safer place." Lu Dachuan raised his wrist to look at his watch, "Huh? How did the watch go upside down? ”
Those with watches raised their arms.
"Me too."
“……”
Without exception, all watches are walking backwards.
I quickly took out my phone, stared at the time on it for a while, and said, "I don't know if I can go on time, but time still moves forward." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Dachuan said: "It doesn't matter if there is a problem on the surface, if there is any strange door here, it will be a big trouble for us to break into a mirror-like space that walks backwards in time." ”
"Go back in time, don't be afraid to enter, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to be ten or eight years younger!"
"You're not afraid that you'll be much younger, and no one will nurse you."
Everyone made a joke.
Liu Fashan waved his hand: "Stop, stop, there are still female compatriots." ”
At this time, Dorjee, who was crawling on the ground and gnawing meat, suddenly stood up, his face turned in a circle against the ground, and he roared in his throat.
We immediately got nervous. Daddy Boba looked at Dorjee's strange reaction and said, "It barks at the ground, is there anything ...... underground" Before he finished speaking, the ground under our feet, the stone plate around us, the stone hall in front of us, and the wall that could be seen by the eyes shook faintly.
"There was an earthquake!" Someone shouted.
"It's smoke! Black smoke! ”
"Oh my God! All the rocks are coming out......"
"Bring a gas mask," Lu Dachuan shouted to get his bag, "and gloves and hats...... Wrap up all exposed skin. ”
In an instant, we were surrounded by thick black smoke.
The black smoke grew thicker and thicker, and it gradually became dark before our eyes. The intense glow of the flashlight in the darkness looked like a firefly.
Seeing things with the eyes is no small thing. was so anxious that Lu Dachuan shouted: "Turn off the flashlight and turn on the headlights." There are also cold fireworks, fold a few more. ”
Liu Fashan and Zhang Xiaohu turned on the two high-power strong light searchlights we had, but they couldn't shine two meters away when they were put together. The dozen or so cold fireworks set off by others can basically be ignored.
Zhang Xiaohu shouted: "No, what should I do?" ”
"Don't lie, everyone, take weapons and move closer together." Lu Dachuan fumbled on the ground with both hands to find a sleeping bag, "Come here, come over to Dorjee......"
Dorjee didn't know where to let out a terrible roar.
"Daddy, get Dorjee here."
Daddy Boba touched Dorjee, put it into a sleeping bag with Lu Dachuan, and tied it up to quiet down.
Lu Keqin was so frightened that she hugged one of my arms tightly. I was terrified when this happened suddenly, but as a man, I could only grit my teeth and hold on.
To prevent something from attacking, we stood back to back, knives in hand, and tried to keep our eyes open to see the darkness where we couldn't see anything.
Time seems to stand still, heaven and earth no longer exist, and everyone has nothing but fear in their hearts.
The black smoke did not disperse for a long time, and gradually our legs and feet were tired, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was so numb that we lost consciousness, and we did not see any fierce beasts come out to attack, let alone any hidden weapons to shoot. That's a good thing, but I'm even more uncertain. If black smoke wasn't a defense designed by the people who created everything here, then what are they? Why did it come out of the stone?
I don't know how long it took me, but it was still so dark that I couldn't see anything, I couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "Brother Dachuan, it doesn't seem to be dangerous!" ”
"I always feel that this smoke is evil, and everyone must not be careless."
"It's closed, and there's no wind, so it's not a way for us to be in a stalemate like this!"
"Well......" Lu Dachuan thought for a moment and said, "In this case, they won't be able to catch up for a while, so let's take turns to rest." Lin Xian'er, Keqin, and Boba's father, the three of them rested first, and the rest were replaced by two. ”
The three of them withdrew from the defensive wall surrounded by human bodies and walked into the human wall. In the dark, I put away all the food scattered on the ground, vacated two pieces, and spread out the sleeping bag. Lu Keqin was scared and didn't dare to sleep alone, so she and Lin Xian'er squeezed into a double sleeping bag. Daddy Boba couldn't get used to sleeping in a sleeping bag, so he spread out the felt he had brought with him next to the sleeping bag containing Dorjee, and lay down with his coat as a quilt. Because they did not dare to take off the gas masks on their heads, the three of them all felt strange and awkward after falling asleep.
After the three of them got up, they changed Liu Changleg and me. As soon as I lay down and fell asleep, I was woken up, and I opened my eyes to hear the "woo" sound mixed with the shouts of Lu Dachuan telling everyone to lie down.
I wanted to see what was going on, and as soon as I struggled to climb out of my sleeping bag, I was pushed and rolled on the ground twice by a powerful force.
It was so dark that I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I wanted to ask people, but I couldn't find where they were. Just when I didn't know what to do, a strong purple light pierced through the darkness like a sharp sword, so bright that I couldn't open my eyes.
