Chapter 077: Underground Fortifications
Unable to think of the problem for a while, Bai Yuxi could only shake his head, press his palm on the barrier, and began to slowly apply pressure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw a layer of energy film spread up, "engulfing" his palm, followed by his wrist and arm, and the whole person penetrated it with a slight force!
After passing through the barrier, before I could see my surroundings, I almost tripped over a foreign object under my feet.
He looked down and was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat!
The image seen from outside the barrier is very different from the image seen from inside the barrier.
This is because what is displayed on the outside of the barrier is the image captured at the moment when the barrier is formed, and after the barrier is formed, no matter what changes occur inside the barrier, it will not be fed back to the outside of the barrier!
So at this moment, in front of Bai Yuxi, there is a "sinkhole" about a dozen meters in diameter, he is standing on the edge of the "sinkhole" is only a foot wide broken eaves, there are still some broken adobe bricks scattered on the left and right, and behind him is a section of earth wall that was violently knocked out!
Bai Yuxi, who almost fell off with a weak leg, subconsciously took a step back and leaned his back against the barrier, holding the invisible energy wall behind him with both hands to stabilize his body.
After looking around, this "sinkhole" with a radius of dozens of meters is about ten meters deep, and the area just occupies the entire ancestral hall's drying field.
The pit is roughly in the shape of a funnel wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there are disintegrating earth and stones all around, and even the ancestral hall of the civil structure has collapsed to a corner, leaving only most of the house still hanging above the sinkhole!
At the bottom of the sinkhole, a black SUV was parked diagonally on the pit wall, but the body remained intact, and it looked like it had just slid down the sloping pit wall and sunk in the soft mud.
In the middle of the sinkhole, there was a large black hole, and I didn't know where it led, but no paranormal creatures or overlimit warriors were found in the pit.
Bai Yuxi's face changed a little.
Although it is not known what exactly happened, it is judging from the traces left at the scene.
It seems that Su Xiaoke and Jason, who stayed behind, drove directly to crash down the earthen wall of the ancestral hall in order to support their companions, but why was there no one at the scene?
Subconsciously glanced at the sinkhole under his feet, and Bai Yuxi swallowed his saliva.
Could it be that he only joined the seventh team for a day, and then encountered such a tragic thing as the annihilation of the group?
Bai Yuxi jumped off the broken eaves, carefully slid down along the dirt wall with a certain slope in the sinkhole, and tried to get close to the attendance car stuck in the pit wall to see if any companions were left in the car because of injuries.
But what is disappointing is that there is no Jason and Su Xiaoke in the attendance car with some damage in the front of the car, and the door is open, it looks like they left the car on their own.
This makes the white jade seal confused, the car is here, and the barrier is intact.
If Jason and the female god hadn't been injured, they would have been trapped here.
Could it be that he was worried that the sinkhole would collapse again and be taken by the service car and fall into the sinkhole, so he immediately broke away? Or is it ...... Already in the pit?
Before he could find a clue, he heard a faint sound from the hole where the attendance car was trapped, but only five or six meters away.
Bai Yuxi carefully rubbed to the edge of the cave entrance, and when he looked down, he found that compared with the collapsed soil layer above, the space under the cave entrance was not deep, and it was almost filled with collapsed earthwork and gravel, and it was only five or six meters away from the edge of the cave entrance.
Amazingly, in the fault below the cave entrance, there are traces of an underground artificial structure.
A half-buried concrete passage was covered by the dirt to reveal a broken stubble, and the sound of shadows and shadows came from the passage!
Gritting his teeth, Bai Yuxi risked the sinkhole collapsing again, jumped into the hole, and then burrowed from the bubbling mound into the half-buried passage.
This artificial cement passage buried deep in the ground is actually quite wide inside, about six meters high and seven or eight meters wide, and obviously it will not be the sewer of Tieting Village.
Strictly speaking, in cities within the territory of Yanguo, sewers are generally not too spacious.
People definitely don't want to move freely in it, so unlike Western countries, there are always all kinds of horror movies about sewers.
Underground buildings that can reach this scale are usually the remains of air defense fortifications left over from the period of "digging deep holes and accumulating grain" during the Anti-Japanese War.
The cement passage is buried deep in the ground and closed all year round, and it is not known whether it is rainwater infiltration from the ground or backsurge from groundwater, and the passage is unusually damp.
Judging from the traces of the waterline on the walls that are two or three meters high, it is obvious that there was a large amount of stagnant water in it before the sinkhole collapsed and the underground passage broke, and even the ceiling was covered with slippery thick water moss.
In the turbid air, there was a smoky stench, but fortunately, Bai Yuxi was still wearing a simple isolation mask on her face, but she could barely bear it.
It's just that there is a foot or two of mud under his feet, which makes his movement very difficult, so he can only touch one foot deep and one foot shallow, and follow the faint sound from the passage.
In the labyrinthine passage, he walked around and around for a long time, and finally his eyes suddenly opened up, but the picture that appeared in front of him made him stunned.
It is not known when this underground fortification was built, and it is clear that even the local residents have forgotten about it.
Even the entrance to the ground has gradually disappeared in the decades of expansion of Tieting Village, and such an unknown mysterious underground space has slowly formed.
Except for a very small number of elderly people who are still alive, it is estimated that not many people know that there is such a large underground cavity under their feet, so naturally there is no way to talk about maintenance and repair.
After years of erosion by groundwater, many parts of this underground fortification have collapsed and become blocked.
In some places, it was even simply dug into an underground pit by groundwater, forcing Bai Yuxi to make a detour again, and it is no wonder that there is such a sinkhole phenomenon on the ground.
Therefore, what appeared in front of Bai Yuxi was such an unusually huge underground water erosion cavity, which not only swallowed up a large area of underground fortifications, but also formed an underground pond from the dammed water!
Around the "pond" are several broken cement passages that lead to nowhere and are exactly the same as the location of Bai Yuxi, but at the moment the passage mouth is crowded with people!
Probably because of the collapse of the sinkhole, the water in the underground pond leaked out of the cracked crack, revealing the gravel at the bottom of the pond, which was the remnants of the wall after the collapse of the underground fortifications.
