Chapter 7: In the Tallest Building
A few people came down from the top of the house, and it really wasted a lot of effort.
First of all, although the house is not high, there are still some dangers in jumping directly. I had to hold the eaves with my hands and let my body hang down as much as I could, so that I could fall to the ground smoothly.
Secondly, after Markham Wing jumped down first, he didn't mean to wait for us.
So there was no time to prepare for this whole action, but fortunately there were no accidents.
Walking back on the ground, my eyes firmly fixed on the straight ahead.
At first, the orange that looked beautiful became more and more dazzling, making people's eyes hurt. But I had to keep it open.
The feeling of pressure on the outside was even more obvious, and my temples felt like they had been pricked by needles. Looking at Bai Kai and Qin Yiheng, their faces were not much better.
After walking a little further, the oil lamp in Markham Wing's hand burned even more vigorously.
It was already very hot outside, and with such a big fire in his hand, I watched the back of his neck sweat profusely.
The house we are going to is the tallest building in the entire besieged city.
There are also some very tall ones around, but they are still more than ten meters lower than this one.
From a distance, it looks like a huge wooden monument. People worry that it will be their burial place.
I was always highly nervous in the house before, but I forgot that I was thirsty.
At this moment, I suddenly felt dry mouth, and subconsciously touched my backpack, only to remember that the water had been thrown away a long time ago.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, it felt like a knife had been slashed through my throat. I always feel like I'm going to vomit blood.
After walking about 100 meters, my headache got worse and worse.
It reminded me of altitude sickness when I came, and I was even more worried about losing consciousness.
I'm not afraid of dying here, what I'm most afraid of is dragging Bai Kai and Qin Yiheng back.
However, I was fighting my spirits, but I was afraid of something. My eyes began to darken for a while, perhaps because the orange around me was too bright, and I tried to squint my eyes, but there was no relief.
My brain was already in a bit of a trance at this time, and I just relied on instinct. Follow Markham's back.
Before I knew it, I was reminded of a lot of past events. There are things that happened when I first started in the industry, and there are some strange things that happened in between. But more than that, it's the memories before entering the industry.
I thought, maybe those days are what I miss the most.
Qin Yiheng gently held my arm with his hand, as if he was a little worried that I would fall.
I wanted to smile back at him, but something flashed through my mind. It's as if I've experienced this before.
"Don't carry it, I'll carry you" Qin Yiheng drove me to himself.
I tried to refuse, but I found that my body was a little out of control. I had to let him stand and stagger forward.
The more I walked like this, the more confused my consciousness became.
In a trance, I saw some images. But I couldn't tell if it was my memory or a hallucination.
I seemed to be standing on a grassy mountainside, and there was no light in the sky. I was nervous. It seems that something around me is threatening.
I tried to hide in the bushes, but I changed places several times in a row, and I didn't feel safe.
It's a bit of a suffocating feeling. I could feel my heart pounding to my throat.
At this time, I suddenly noticed that a fire was lit up not far away. Without thinking, I walked over to the light. It seemed like I knew that the fire was lit for me.
Moving through the grass, I struggled. I broke my foot a few times, and I didn't even care about the pain.
But the light of the fire looked so close, and no matter how I walked, the distance between us never shortened.
At this moment, there was a strange rustling sound in the grass behind me, and I knew that danger was approaching. I could only speed up my pace and run through the grass with my life. There were countless small wounds on his body, and he didn't know what he hit on his shoulder, so he felt very painful, and he was bleeding when he reached out and touched it.
But this time I finally got closer to the fire.
It was a campfire, and there was a figure on the side, with his back to me.
I subconsciously froze, because I found this figure very familiar. Just as I hesitated, the grass behind me suddenly slammed, and I felt something coming towards me, and with an instinctive shout, the man by the campfire immediately turned around.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
I don't know if it's because there are too many messages in an instant, or if this qiē is really frozen.
All I saw was the person in front of me! Under the firelight, my own face was expressionless, revealing a calm vicissitudes.
Just listen to me and say to me, "You're here."
Then I was knocked down by the thing behind me, and my eyes went black.
In a daze, I heard someone calling Jiang Shuo. There were several slaps on the cheek.
At first, I was just getting more dizzy, and then I started to feel pain. I opened my eyes subconsciously.
Bai Kai leaned over to stare at me, took out a bottle of water, and I took a few sips to feel more comfortable. There was no orange anymore, only Markham's oil lamp was burning. We've entered the tallest building.
I sat up and saw a man-high hole on my right. Like the outer walls of the besieged city, they were chiseled through.
"Grass, I was dreaming just now." I wiped the sweat from my forehead, how long have I been faint?
"Not long after, we just arrived. Don't stand up yet, look at the top of your head first, I'm afraid you'll be scared. Bai Kai pointed to it and took a puff of his cigarette.
As soon as I looked up, I was shocked.
With the help of Markham's oil lamp, as far as the eye can see, there is a strange wardrobe.
The whole building turned out to be hollow! Looking up, all but this small area we were in was filled with wardrobes. It was piled up to the top of the building, hidden in the darkness. It's so dense that it's impossible to count how many.
It was as if we were in a slender Colosseum, except that it was not the spectators who filled the stands, but the wardrobes.
What the hell is going on? How does it look like a thousand pagodas?
I know that in some religions, such structures are also built. Walking in, there are Buddha statues on all sides, the tower is usually very high, and the higher the level of the Buddha statue, the higher the position. But standing at the bottom, you can't see the Buddha statue at the top of the tower.
Thinking, I tried to keep my eyes open, and all I could see was the blurry roof.
I said, why are all these wardrobes here?
"Maybe they were already here, and everything we found was shipped out. Jiang Shuo, you see, some wardrobe doors are open, you give me the rope, I want to go up and have a look. ”
Qin Yiheng took the rope and tried to make a rope buckle to climb, but was unsuccessful. He had to try to climb up with his bare hands. Fortunately, the closet with an open door closest to us was only seven or eight meters high.
But I'm still terrified when I look down there.
Qin Yiheng was very good, and climbed to the wardrobe in a few clicks. One rolled over and got in. No more.
I had many contacts with that wardrobe, and I knew how big the space was inside, and I thought to myself that Qin Yiheng must have found something.
Sure enough, he soon crawled down, panting.
"What's in there?" Bai Kai said urgently.
"This" Qin Yiheng stretched out his hand, and in an instant, some sand and dirt flowed down from his fingers.
"This should be the mud of the Yin River. It's just that it's already dry," Qin Yiheng clapped his hands, and now let's take a look at those that haven't been opened.
Qin Yiheng walked to the nearest wardrobe and stretched out his hand to slowly open the wardrobe door.
My heart jumped to my throat, and the closet door seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and it creaked like a ghost's scream.
As soon as the door opened, I shone it with a flashlight.
I saw a naked man standing in the closet. The man's skin was shriveled and he looked like a dried corpse.
I remembered the kind of corpse I had seen in the closet before, and my heart said Could it be that this is also a place to return yang?
Looking at the scale, damn it, it should be a demonstration park of the Huanyang base, right!?
I said, are these corpses used to restore yang? But why didn't they come back to life?
"Only a few can survive, and no one can guarantee what will survive." Markham Rong suddenly said unclearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, I heard the creak of the closet door above me.
