Time passed day by day, Lao Zhang, who was trapped in the abyss, and Honggang people who were on a steamer didn't know when they would see the light of day again, and they were really like years.

The risks on the outside are slowly rising, and the folk psychology on the inside is becoming tense.

Zhang Ming even shared his radio, and any little bit of information outside is a valuable spiritual wealth for this group of trapped Honggang people...... Of course, only broadcast something that doesn't matter.

"With the help of the snake people, human civilization and Honggang civilization have a cordial and friendly dialogue."

"Experts believe that long-wave communication based on high-altitude hot air balloons is feasible. After establishing long-wave communication, even if the distance is long, it can be communicated at a low cost. It's just that the secrecy of long-wave communication is worrying, and it is easy for other ill-intentioned civilizations to intercept information. ”

This information made a large number of Honggang people cheer and aroused widespread discussion.

It's as if humans and Honggang people are in alliance.

Lao Zhang couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, worried about the mental state of his new friend.

"The reaction of these guys is exactly the same as when I was stranded on a desert island! So concerned about grand narratives, they ...... It's crazy! ”

……

Zhang Ming dived to the bottom of the sea from time to time, looking for clues to the exit of the abyss, but never found anything......

Even the precious ore was not too happy, and it was casually stuffed on the surface of the "Time and Space Bug", and it was hastily done.

Occasionally salvage a few pieces of ore for Honggang people.

But these craftsmen who love forging, in the face of the confused future, have gradually lost the fun of getting ores.

There are a lot of unmanned probes launched, but they also have little to gain.

A wordless numbness is spreading among the soldiers of the Honggang civilization.

The soldiers, without a doubt, are the group that has the most contact with the abyss, and they also suffer the most mental abuse.

In the past few months, I haven't reached the level of complete despair, but I am slowly numb, not interested in anything, as if the joys, sorrows, and sorrows have been sucked away by this damn dark world......

As for ways to combat numbness......

There is only one - madness!

More and more Honggang soldiers, their mental state began to move closer to Lao Zhang, and shouted loudly in human language: "Fuck your rescue team!" You haven't come to save me yet! 、*******”

After a period of collective hair, the numbness in my heart can get better.

This miraculous method, taught by His Excellency the Transcendent, has been passed down by word of mouth among Honggang people, and has been widely circulated, and some people even identify it as a "spell".

As for what this "spell" meant, even the very few people in the know could only shake their heads, smile but not answer, and look at the distant sky.

When will I be able to leave the abyss?

……

……

On this day, Zhang Ming was slowly exploring in the abyss, and the abyss pollution on the bottom of the sea was bottomless, as viscous and thick as oil, and in the end even the transcendent could not bear it.

It's still a day of nothing.

He surfaced, somewhat irritably, and attacked a monster climbing the deck of a steamer, ready to take it home and cook it.

Suddenly stopped, because he heard a voice from the earphones, it was Gondor's deep voice, and it seemed to be a little eager, "Mr. Zhang, are you nearby?" Come and visit the Captain's Quarters! There is something important to discuss! ”

Lao Zhang's heart moved: "Okay, I'll come right away." ”

dragged the monster corpse into the cabin, only to find that the soldiers guarding here were talking about something, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

"What's going on?"

"Your Excellency! There may be a monster entering the cabin! But we didn't find out! One of the captain-looking soldiers said with some anxiety.

"How did it get in?" Zhang Ming frowned and threw the body on the transport truck, "Doesn't it mean that walls made of irregular materials can isolate most of the superpowers?" You're guarding the exit again. ”

The captain hurriedly said: "We are reviewing the light and shadow footage of the past period, and we have not found anything abnormal for the time being. ”

"If there were monsters, it would probably be that kind of ...... Very powerful unique type...... Maybe with the ability to have space. ”

"Spatial capabilities? Brother Hao? Ga! Shi Mama, who was stuck to Zhang Ming's buttocks, began to go crazy.

The captain of the soldiers also seemed to be accustomed to the strange behavior of the stone, and paused: "Anyway, the Admiral asked you to come over." ”

"Got it."

Zhang Ming walked to the next room, changed out of the heavy standard armor on his body, and went into battle lightly, carrying an ice spear on his back and playing with a few rune blades in his hand.

The "Rune Blade" is a weapon forged by the craftsmen of the Honggang civilization, like a dagger, with the characteristics of "sharpness", which is sharper than his bone kitchen knife.

The good things that were delivered to the door for free, Zhang Ming naturally took several and used them as flying knives.

Honggangren's forging skills, as a unique technology, are naturally extraordinary, and the forged weapons have a subtle spirituality.

This kind of spirituality is a bit like the "instrument spirit" in cultivating immortals, and the weapons with spirituality will be more convenient to use and more compatible, such as being able to attach lightning and diamonds to the dagger, and so on; And weapons without spirituality are just ordinary dead things, and when superpowers are attached to them, there may be some repulsion.

Zhang Ming once asked a famous craftsman to change his ice spear as well.

As a result, it was rejected miserably!

The bearded man claimed to have felt a simple passion for forging on the icy spear, a fiery affection that was extremely rare, and he could not destroy the wisdom of others.

In other words, the Ice Spear already has spirituality, and there is no need to change it.

Lao Zhang is actually a nostalgic person, so he doesn't force it.

"There's an air to it that is quirky...... It seems that something, something remains in the air. Shi Mama said suddenly.

"Really...... I didn't notice. Zhang Ming paused for a moment, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

With his current perception ability, he was able to detect the "spirits" that were free in the air, but he really didn't find out what the "strange aura" in Shi Mama's mouth was.

The hallway is still brightly lit, and the Portuguese grass grows vigorously, like a creeper, crawling all over the walls.

Knocking on the office door, Zhang Ming got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Gondor, where is the monster and how many casualties there are, I'll find a way to solve it." ”

When Gondor saw the transcendent coming to the office, he quickly sat up straight, he was really busy these days, with so many people to manage, and to deal with low morale, and to allocate the next resources. If you are not careful, there is a possibility of no recovery!

Gondor grimaced: "The current situation is that we don't know if there are monsters...... It's just that a couple of crew members are missing. ”

"Missing?" Zhang Ming frowned slightly.

Gondor nodded, "Our management is very strict, especially in the current environment, and the number of personnel is counted every day. ”

"It's been a week since the initial disappearance, from one a day, to two a day, to three a day, and now it's four a day, and a total of 20 people have disappeared in seven days."

"At first, we thought it was suicide caused by psychological problems, and in such a depressing environment, it is normal for several people to commit suicide......

Zhang Ming's brows furrowed, and he gently inserted the rune blade in his hand into the scabbard of his trouser belt.

When Gondor said this, his face was full of sorrow: "But to live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses...... There's no way these corpses are going to be flushed down the sewers, right? Even if someone destroys the corpse, there is always a clue. ”

"We've been looking for so many days, but we haven't found a single body."

Zhang Ming understood the seriousness of the matter.

The only entry and exit to the ship was on the upper deck, which was guarded by a large group of soldiers.

As a result, many people are now missing, a full 20 people, and if we can't find a reason, I'm afraid that the morale of the entire internal society will collapse.

After all, the most terrifying thing in the world is the unknown.

He tapped lightly on the table: "Any more information?" If it was a monster, where was its range of activity? ”

Gondor swallowed, "You bring people in!" ”

After a while, a bearded man with a nervous expression walked in from outside the door, his eyes were deeply sunken, his eyeballs were bloodshot, it was obvious that he was not in a good mental state, and his whole body was shaking from time to time.

When he saw Zhang Ming and Gondor, he calmed down a little.

"The missing person is his wife." Gondor explained, then turned around and asked, "How did your wife disappear, and what did she tell you before she disappeared?" ”

Facing the most powerful man on the ship, the bearded man clenched his fists and did not dare to delay: "This morning, my wife woke up from a nightmare, she said that she dreamed of countless pairs of eyes, staring at her!" ”

"Among those countless pairs of eyes, there is also a Faceling."

The faceling had no eyes, no nose, only a mouth, and a long, slender hand stretched out, trying to gouge out her eyes. Then my wife woke up from the dream, and I smiled and reassured her that it was okay, it was just a dream, maybe it was too stressful. ”

"But after breakfast, she turned a corner, and she disappeared."

Zhang Ming's heart tightened, but he couldn't help but gasp.

"What is this...... Countless pairs of eyes, Facelings...... The power of the Demon God [Myriad]? ”

"Isn't [Myopes] dead?"

This matter was too urgent, and Zhang Ming's tone couldn't help but hurry: "Were you by her side when she disappeared?" ”

"No, no, she's on her way to work, and there shouldn't be any other witnesses around."

"Do all the missing people suddenly disappear only when they are alone?"

Gondor was silent for a moment: "It may be like this, if there were witnesses, they should have reported this matter a long time ago...... Of course, there is another possibility, all the witnesses will be attacked by monsters at the same time, and then disappear as well. ”
