Chapter 63 The Land of Death
The surrounding fog became more and more solemn, except for the fog, not even the shadow of half a fierce beast could be seen, except for the footprints of a group of people on the ground, there were only continuous dry grass, even if it was summer, I had not seen half a cent of green.
"Gather the formation, don't scatter." He Yunhua said, looking at the people in front of him, the figure became more and more unclear.
The reconnaissance before hearing the order was also withdrawn, and in this dense fog with visibility of less than five meters, all that could be seen was a little distance in front of him, and the reconnaissance seemed meaningless.
"There is no signal, and electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate the dense fog." The captain of the first team looked at the snowflake, and now everyone was hesitant about the future, uncertain, but there was no fear on his face.
"Then go side by side." He Yunhua said, and the hunters stood in two columns, like a sharp knife, stabbing into the thick fog.
In the mist, even Lin Zihan was disoriented, even if it was holographic glasses, it was only very useless, and Lin Zihan's gaze could only see seven meters away, and it had to be blessed by the end brain.
"Take a break." He Yunhua said, the fog seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, the visibility was even more visible to the naked eye, and the fog seemed to increase the consumption of physical strength.
With He Yunhua's physical fitness, it is impossible for him to feel tired just because he walks, but right now, He Yunhua feels that his limbs are a little heavy, as if they have been filled with lead.
"The gravity here doesn't seem to be the same as it does outside." Lin Zihan said, leaning against a dead tree, with his hands on his knees.
Compared with the rest of the hunters, Lin Zihan has a keener perception, not to mention that in the training camp, there is a special gravity simulation room, and he naturally has a clearer feeling of gravity.
The pressure in this dense fog is like a weight gain simulation in a gravity simulation room, but that feeling is obviously different from the simulation room, and it is more like a pressure hidden in the fog and everywhere.
"It's a weird place, it's foggy, it's high-pressure, and I don't know what else will happen next." The captain wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the sweat on his hands, and felt an indescribable depression in his heart.
Even breathing became a little difficult, and the captain gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, and his exoskeleton was also in this gasp, flickering and tightening.
"We seem to be lost." He Yunhua looked at the footprints on the ground, it seemed that they had just walked over, and it was impossible for another centaur to enter this place of death surrounded by dense fog.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Lin Zihan also fell into deep thought, those clear footprints seemed to have just been left short, and the length and width of the footprints just matched the exoskeleton footprints of this line.
"Do you have a compass?" Lin Zihan said, looking at He Yunhua.
"Brought it." He Yunhua said and took out a small compass, as a battlefield commander, the commander of a small detachment, He Yunhua carried some battlefield equipment with him, such as a small compass and a level surveyor.
In He Yunhua's pocket, there are not a few of these gadgets.
"It's, it's impossible." He Yunhua looked at the compass, and the needle in the compass kept spinning, like a spinning top, and it couldn't play the role of a guide at all.
"The magnetic field here is all chaotic, chaotic, and the compass is useless." He Yunhua put away the pocket-sized version of the compass and looked into the depths of the dense fog, perhaps many people were lost in this place of death, and finally died here.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Zihan had little experience in entering the wilderness area, and he was even more confused about the situation of getting lost in these areas where there was no signal.
"Yes, when the signal in the wilderness area has not been fully established, the team gets lost, and will take the method of straight line punctuation to mark the straight line." He Yunhua said, as if he had a certain understanding of this aspect.
"Wasn't that how many years ago? After the first cataclysm, the wilderness area was reduced to no man's land, but the spread of signaling was almost complete hundreds of years ago. "The captain seems to have a lot of insights.
After all, as mercenaries, these people naturally have good military literacy, at least not the kind of simple big-headed soldiers, who don't know anything, although each mercenary is not as capable as a limit of individual soldiers, but the military literacy is no less than that of many elite divisions.
"When I was still in the fast anti-squad......" He Yunhua said and paused, a trace of + melancholy flashed in his eyes, but it was also fleeting. On one occasion, this tactic was used due to strong interference from a group of rebels. ”
"Try it, if there's hope." Lin Zihan said, stood up, and looked at He Yunhua with a firm gaze, he believed that He Yunhua would not make the same mistake again this time.
And Lin Zihan, although he has enough confidence in his own ability, but in terms of military strategy, Lin Zihan prefers to believe that he is a commander from the fast reaction force. His military literacy is at least stronger than that of many regular garrisons.
"If you want to believe me, just try it with me." He Yunhua said, drawing a straight line from the ground, as straight as the long sword in his hand, "Stand in a single column and advance in a straight line." ”
Along the way, everyone stopped and stopped, and I don't know how many times I rested on the road, but the white fog gradually dimmed, and it can be roughly estimated that the sky outside has darkened.
"Nightlight interval activation." He Yunhua ordered everyone to turn on the lights at one time, and the faint light was in the fog, which could be regarded as a good lighting effect, at least in the dark night under the night, there was a little starlight.
"It's dark, I guess I can't get out." A law enforcement officer respectfully bent down in front of the chief sheriff, his head bowed deeply, not daring to raise his head, let alone raise his eyes to look at the chief sheriff in front of him.
"Arrange a military law team, camp here, besiege for three days, I don't believe anyone can get out of here." The sheriff said, looking at his shoulder, which was wrapped in white bandages, and on the bandages, there were already dark purple blood stains.
"There seems to be light over there." The first captain looked at the front of him, the dense fog seemed to be much lighter, revealing a faint red light, the blood-red light, compared to the yellow night light, more dazzling, able to pass through the dense fog, as if guiding the way.
"Let's go check it out." Lin Zihan also noticed that after the dense fog, under the dark night, in an unknown place, there was a faint red light, like a little light like fireflies, and it was also like starlight in the night sky.
The dazzling red color looks particularly dazzling, even if the yellow light has been illuminated, it can't hide the red glimmer. The red point of light is like a beacon in the vast sea, always there, guiding the lost sailors.
"I always felt like there was some danger in that red light." A familiar voice sounded in Lin Zihan's mind, and now that Lin Zihan heard it, he felt a little nostalgic.
"Let's just say, next time, can you not suddenly appear at such a time, people are scary, scared to death, although you may not be human." Lin Zihan complained quietly, but this voice was very clear to the person who appeared in his mind.
"If you're not human, then I'm not human." The voice only left a word, and then disappeared, leaving Lin Zihan alone, melancholy for a while.
How could he not know that there was danger lurking in the red light, but this dense fog was by no means simple, Lin Zihan could feel that in this fog, the consumption of physical strength and spirit was huge, and this thick fog seemed to be still interfering with the spirit of the entrant.
"How long will it take?" The red light that was close in front of me, I really wanted to walk over, but it seemed like I had been retreating, I don't know how long I had walked, the faint red light was still like a firefly, the size, it looked out of reach.
On the contrary, there were gradually more white bones on the ground, the gray bones, the neat incisions, one more as if it had been broken, and the jagged bone spurs could be seen at the fracture.
The fog around seemed to have faded a lot, but there were more white bones, and the bones on the ground were like gravel, and they could be seen everywhere, as if there had been a big battle here, but it seemed that it was not just people.
Among the white bones, except for the arm bones of a human being, many bones were already as thick as a man, standing in this area, buried in the dirt, like a tombstone.
On the ground, you can still see some rusty weapons, war knives, long swords, spears, axes and hammers, but the rust on them has long concealed its original appearance, and you can only guess what it once looked like through the soft rust.
"Look!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction in front of them.
The dense fog suddenly dissipated here, as if it did not exist, and there was just a tall skeleton, the huge skeleton, as high as 100 meters, Lin Zihan looked up, as far as his eyes could see, the height of the skeleton could not be seen.
The long vertebrae, like a bridge in the dark night, and the huge skull, were already much taller than a man.
"This is a dragon, a real dragon." He Yunhua looked at the teeth on the ground, they were as long as his own arms.
The outbreak of the HS virus has stimulated the potential genes in many beasts, and there has been a certain super-mutation or atavism, which is why many fierce beasts are called dragons, because some of the genes in the body have been atavistic to the time of dragons.
And the beast has become more powerful, partly because the virus has fused with its own genes, resulting in the emergence of more powerful and tyrannical genes, the law of nature, survival of the fittest, and the same is true of genes.
"The fierce beasts outside, whether they are earth armor dragons or dragon lizards, just belong to dragons, and this corpse bone is probably left by a real dragon." He Yunhua's hand gently brushed the fangs that had long lost their sharpness, as if he was feeling the roar from the ancient dragon.
Even if it was just a fang, which was no longer sharp, a layer of cold sweat oozed from He Yunhua's back, his body began to tremble, and the hairs all over his body stood up. A cold breath ran down the pores and forced into his body, making He Yunhua shiver all over his body.
"There seems to be a ...... there Palace. The tone in which the captain spoke seemed to be a little confused, and there was more uncertainty in that tone.
Everyone looked at it, it seemed to be a palace, but it was more like a metal fortress. And that red light is exactly what he emitted.
