Chapter 66: The Trap
While the darkness had not blocked the entire passage, Britz and the other workers packed up their things and hurried away.
"Mr. Mamba, thank you for taking care of me and my co-workers these days, of course...... I also know that we have made you a lot of money. ”
When it was time to leave, everyone did not have to be too secretive, and when Britz and Mamba said goodbye, they said, "I wish you all the best of luck through this crisis." ”
Mamba also said bluntly: "Britz, as a collaborator, you are indeed very competent, if there is a chance, I look forward to us working together again." ”
After seeing off Britz and them, Mamba returned to the gathering place.
The other members had gathered outside the cordon, and Ena and Mamie had already learned about the invasion of the dark area from the spirit network, and everyone looked nervous.
"Mamba, are you sure the dark area is coming towards us?" Lias gripped the hook in his hand, it was the first time he felt so powerless.
Mamba nodded: "The darkness moves slowly, but the direction is indeed towards our gathering place, we have to think of a way to see how we can stop it." ”
"We have a machine gun, no matter what monster is hidden in the dark, I don't believe it is not afraid of bullets!" Susie had full confidence in the Gatling gun.
However, Mamba doesn't think the machine gun will work: "If I'm not mistaken, this time we will probably face the darkness itself, no matter how powerful the bullets are, it will not be able to destroy the darkness, we still have to think of other ways." ”
Ena asked, "Do you want me to try it and see if the 'Area Sense' skill can reveal what is hidden in the darkness?" ”
Mamba shook his head: "It's too dangerous, I almost caught their way at the end of the tea last time, and I heard that it was the Lord who helped and rescued her from the lure of the unknown." ”
"We don't know what those whispers and murmurs represent, and if we disturb them, the consequences will be dire."
"So what do we do now? Just standing in a daze? Let the monsters in the dark come to you? Jim lost his breath.
When everyone was at a loss, the same voice sounded in their heads......
……
After confirming that the dark area was about to invade the gathering place, Tang Hao couldn't sit still at all.
The dark area must be stopped, otherwise it will be difficult to keep his majesty as a "god", even his body.
The simple way to dispel the darkness is to use light, and the earliest light source created by human beings is fire.
In the underworld, fire seems to be a luxury, as the lack of fuel makes even a candle a luxury.
With the combustibles collected in the gathering place, if you want to light up the entire passage, it is indeed a bit of a mantis arm as a car.
However, following this line of thought, Tang Hao's heart moved, and a very violent thought popped out of his mind.
……
Under the guidance of "the Lord," the people in the gathering place were busy.
According to the idea provided by the "Lord", they took out the sacks of barley that had been stored in the storehouse and arranged them on top of the passage into the gathering place in various ways.
"Mamba, why does the Lord want us to put all the food in the passage? Do you want to feed the monsters in the dark with these barley? "Jim is a straight-hearted guy who asks questions so straightforwardly.
Mamba was weaving the rope that held the barley bag in his hand: "I don't understand what the specific principle is, anyway, the Lord has arranged it, we just need to do what the Lord says." ”
Lias and Barr inspect the barley bags at the top of the passage, and they have attached a sheet of metal to each bag that cuts through the bag by pulling the rope.
Mamie, who was watching the movement of the dark area from a distance, sent back a message: "So far, the dark area has advanced almost ten meters, and according to the speed of its movement, it will reach the passage where we installed the trap in about a day." ”
On the other side, Susie is disassembling the bullets from the machine gun, which can be used to create a simple ignition device for gunpowder and mercury for primer.
This is the core of the whole trap, and Susie does it very carefully and seriously.
The people in the gathering place were busy for half a day, and more than 200 bags of flour barley were already densely packed all over the top of the passage.
All the metal sheets used to cut the bag were gathered together by thin ropes, and on the other hand, the ignition device made by Susie was also placed in the center of the passage.
The "Lord" taught them to make such a strange trap, and the next thing to do was to wait for the unknown in the darkness to fall into the net.
The dark area had been slowly creeping and approaching the gathering place, and Mamie, who had been on guard in front, had withdrawn, and everyone was on the other side of the passage, nervously waiting for that moment to come.
Soon, in the farthest part of everyone's line of sight, a pitch-black area appeared from the corner of the passage.
It was both a very viscous liquid and some kind of worm, and it moved slowly, swallowing anything in the passage into the darkness and no longer observable.
The crowd held their breath, all eyes staring at the wriggling darkness, and the moment it entered the passage, the lights went out.
The light strip that originally provided the light source was extinguished in an instant, and the entire passage was plunged into darkness.
It was also dark in front of everyone's eyes, and even Mamba, who had the best psychological quality, couldn't help but skip a beat in his heart.
"We ...... Do you want to start a trap now? Jim asked, impatiently.
Mamba looked back at Susie, who looked at the "individual monitoring watch" in her hand and said, "At its previous speed, it will take about an hour to reach the middle of the tunnel." ”
Mamba gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's wait another hour." ”
He turned back to the other members and said, "You all go back to the next corner, and I, Lias, and Susie will be left here to activate the trap." ”
Barr asked, a little worried, "Father, can this really stop the darkness?" ”
The Mamba nodded: "This is the guidance of the Lord, remember, at all times, trust the Lord." ”
Minutes and seconds passed, and in the silent space, the three people left behind could almost hear their heartbeats.
"It's time!" Susie looked at her watch and said to Mamba and Lias, who were instructed to pull the rope in their hands.
The ropes in the hands of the two of them were connected to the metal flakes on the barley bags, and when they were pulled, all the barley bags were cut, and hundreds of kilograms of barley fell down in a frenzy, and the whole passage was covered with dust.
Then, Susie pulled the string in her hand without hesitation......
