Chapter 569: Sonic Waves
In order to persuade me to leave, I withdrew the foot that I was about to kick out, took two steps back, and dragged him up from under the pit.
He grabbed me by the ankle and was dragged by me to the platform, near the exit of the mine.
"Three of us are missing, have you seen them? Three young men, about twenty years old, of medium height, wearing gray down jackets. After I finished speaking, I remembered that this person's eyes might not be able to see, so I added: "There is a person with a Tang City accent." ā
The Tang accent is very distinctive, and those who have heard it will definitely notice that even if this person has not heard the Tang dialect, they can still hear that it is a foreign accent.
"Hehehehe..." The man laughed three times, his voice dry and hoarse, as if a strange bird was 'smiling'.
"Are they at the bottom of the pit?" I asked directly, not wanting to be dumb with him.
"Yes." The man suddenly suppressed his strange smile and replied gloomily.
Listening to his tone, it must be no good, and sure enough, he didn't wait for me to ask again, and said coldly: "They are dead, you don't leave quickly, and you are too late-"
In the middle of the man's words, a look of surprise appeared on his white face like a dead man, and his stiff features were extremely incongruous, like a marionette that only needed to be repaired.
"Y-Are you alright? Are you not hallucinating? ā
I have to say that his reaction was not only a beat slower, it should have been several beats, and he chatted with me for a long time before he found that my mental state was normal.
"Aren't you okay?"
"I... I'm fine? Hehehe, I'm okay like this? ā
He bit the word 'it's okay' very hard, smiling sarcastically, but I was worried that if he used a little more force, he would break the bones with laughter, he was so thin, and the protruding collarbone and pelvic bones made him look like a skeletal model covered in thin skin.
"Have you seen those three people?" I grew impatient and quickened my pace to ask.
"Dead, don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, you can go down and have a look. ā
If you want to see people alive and corpses when you die, if he can climb up, I should be able to climb down too.
"Are you crazy, do you really want to go down?"
"Of course."
"The radiation down there is stronger, you're going crazy!"
"I think you're normal, not that serious."
"I'm normal? Haha, big joke, look at what the hell I've become, it doesn't kill me, it's to clear the way for it, so that it can get out of this hellish place. ā
"It? What is it? ā
"Are you blind too? It's right in front of you, this thing, it can drive people crazy, send them to a dead end, that person is dying, he can't hold on for long. His face turned to where Bailichuan was, and his eyes locked on the spot as if he could see.
He stretched out his fingers like chicken paws and pointed at the pillars in the pit, and he seemed to be anxious to persuade me away, but on his face I did not see any emotion similar to fear, that is, he was not afraid of hallucinations, or, he had no hallucinations at all, just like me.
"As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, he can survive, and I believe in his willpower." I looked at Bailichuan, in addition to anger and resistance in his eyes, hallucinations sometimes prevailed, but he was still fighting against hallucinations, and he didn't give up.
"No, now is the time when the signal is at its weakest, and when the radiation level grows to the maximum, he will definitely die."
"I have to make sure that our people are still alive."
There was no need to discuss this, and I could not say that he was dead, so I gave up looking for my companions.
"You're looking for death, hmph, whatever you want." The blind man snorted, let go of his grip on me, and ran into the mine.
Bailichuan looked at me, his eyes seemed to be looking at a hateful monster for a while, and then he regained a little clarity.
But the time for him to regain his consciousness was getting shorter and shorter, so I went into action at once, and climbed down from where the blind man had climbed up, and there was something to climb underneath, a row of ladders that went straight into the pit.
My figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the pit, and even though I was mentally prepared before I came down, the depth of the pit was still beyond my expectations.
1,000 ...... 2,000 ...... Five thousand meters, I think I have to take back what I said before, this deep pit is not a toothpick in an eggshell, but a Dinghaishen needle directly inserted into the bottom shell.
Descending to a depth of six thousand meters, I finally reached the end, but the pillar was not at the end, its low end was still not exposed, but it was full of water underneath, and its pillar body was soaked in water, and I could not see the situation under the water.
The ladder extends underwater, and there used to be no water here, but I guess it was the earthquake that caused water to enter the bottom of the pit and submerged the part under the pillars.
So before the earthquake, when it was not closed, the workers may have been to the bottom of the pit, why are they okay?
And now I have another question, was this mine mining or a pillar?
I stared at the dark water, the possibility of living people in the water was too small, and the three people did not have diving equipment, and the underground water was so cold that even if they were in the water, they would die if they soaked for half an hour.
Woo Buzz...... Airplanes.........
The low, majestic sound of the horn spread outward from the inside of the pillar, as if it were some kind of foreshadowing or reminder, and the sound was so long and deep that I could even feel the air vibrating.
Wave after wave, the air vibrates with wavy lines that I can perceive, similar to brain waves but not as complex as humans, like fixed bands, repeating information with the same content.
This should be the danger that the blind man said, the power that makes Bailichuan hallucinate is this pillar, and its real power is the sound waves that are constantly coming out at this moment.
If they want to stop it from interfering with their brains, they have to eliminate the sound waves from the inside.
The ladder was still a few dozen meters away from the pillar, and I couldn't touch the pillar from my position, so I shot at the pillar to see what it was made of.
But when the bullet hit the column, there was no sound at all, not even a fragment was visible, and it had no effect on the sound waves.
I grabbed the ladder in one hand, held my gun in the other, put the flashlight in my mouth, and looked intently at the pattern on the surface of the pillar.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the spiral patterns were actually staircases, and the pillars turned out to be a tower.
Now that there is a place to stay, it will be much easier, I put away my gun and hold the fly ash hidden in my sleeve.
I kicked the ladder under my feet, my body flew into the void, and I concentrated on the space jump, this jump was not a lot of pressure on me, anyway, if I fell down, I would fall into the water, and I would not be injured.
I didn't want to jump a little too much, my face almost hit the pillar, but fortunately I reacted quickly and raised my arm to block the front, so there was no tragedy.
My forearm hit the pillar and my body slid with it, half a meter higher than I expected to land, but it was okay, at least it didn't fall or break my nose.
The first time I saw this tower I thought it was a pillar, and even now standing on the spiral staircase, I still think it is a pillar, because it is thick and unfathomable on the top and bottom, and there is no end or end, not even the entrance.
I reached out and patted the tower-like thing, but I was startled by the fact that the touch of my hand was actually warm.
I quickly retracted my hand, thought about it, and touched the smooth surface again, its heat was slightly lower than a person's body temperature, and it was gradually heating up as the time of sound wave diffusion increased.
I took out the dagger and stabbed it twice on the surface, and the blade of the dagger seemed to be pierced into hard plastic, without sound and penetrating.
The pillars are black, but the steps are gray, and the steps are made of stone slabs, which is different from the material of the pillars themselves.
It can't be pierced or broken, and there is no entrance and exit on the surface, is the entrance underwater?
"Save..."
I was looking at the water below my feet and trying to figure out how to go down, when suddenly a voice came from the pillar behind me, and as soon as this sound appeared, as if someone was standing behind me, I instinctively turned around and made a defensive stance.
"Help... Iā" The voice was repeated once, and I was clearer.
"Who?" It sounds familiar to me, but it doesn't look like someone I'm familiar with, and the hallucinations are usually acquaintances, so it shouldn't be a hallucination.
"Cong, Cong... The voice was intermittent, and it was obvious that the owner of the voice was already angry, and it was very difficult to say two words.
"Cong Yanxi?" I stepped forward and stood close to the pillar, reached out and patted the place where the voice was coming from, and casually called out the other person's name, which was one of the three missing people, and Bailichuan had mentioned it when he was cursing in the car.
"Save ......"
"How did you get in? Where's the entrance? ā
"Uh... Hmm..."
The man inside let out a painful groan, and could not say anything more, knowing that the person was still alive, I was also anxious, and slashed hard with the dagger on the side a few times, but only a few shallow scratches were made.
Human life is at stake, and at this time knives and guns can't solve the problem, so I took out the fly ash, and although I haven't used it to break down dead things, I have to try.
I don't know the thickness of the pillar, but it must be hollow inside, otherwise Cong Yanxi wouldn't be able to get in.
In order to avoid hurting the people trapped inside, I controlled my mental power and planned to break down the thin layer first.
It worked, but I was only able to break down the two-millimeter-thick column, which was one square meter in range.
The painful moans continued, as long as there was a sound, it meant that the person was still alive, I decomposed layer by layer, and when I reached the fourth layer, a face was exposed, and then a black juice with a slight bitter smell flowed out of the hole, and a person was brought out by the juice that flowed out, but the breach was only one square meter, his upper body fell out, and the lower body remained in the pillar, and I saw that my body was planted forward, and I quickly supported him and dragged him out of the pillar.
"Cong Yanxi!" I whispered his name, he was covered in black juice and breathed very weakly.
I put him on the ground, got up and jumped into the breach, and if I could trap one, I could trap two, and maybe the other two were in the pillar.
The inside of the pillar was indeed hollow, and the black juice did not fill the whole column, it hung on the inner wall of the pillar like a grain of black grapes, so I broke it by destroying it from the outside.
If Cong Yanxi was wrapped in black juice before, does that mean that there is a person in every black grape here?
