Chapter 292: Approaching Science
But even if all those hundreds of people were trapped in these cave walls, there was nothing they could do!
And how long have you been trapped inside? Can you still live after so long? People will die if they don't eat or drink for more than ten days, and they've been trapped here for half a month, to say the least!
"I don't think these screams are necessarily made by people, by the way, there is a kind of monster in mythology that lures people with their sounds."
Zhao Ying said silently: "But what if someone is really asking for help?" ”
As long as there is one in 10,000 of this possibility, it is hundreds of human lives.
"You know, the information we were told before is that the hundreds of workers are gone. And it is not said exactly that they died. Zhao Ying said seriously.
This is indeed the case, but Zhang Zheng sighed: "That white hair said that there was a worker who went crazy and killed hundreds of workers." ”
Zhao Ying said: "Don't you still say that this sounds fake?" How can one person kill hundreds? ”
Zhang Zheng did complain before, but now that he is being taken out, he is a little embarrassed.
"But don't forget, the doctor who disappeared in front of us just now is not 'alive'."
Suddenly, Zhao Ying's heart sank.
And, who can live in these solid cave walls, underground? Can a man's flesh be squeezed into? Only the one that is like water...... Stuff.
Moisturizing things silently. I actually damn remember this sentence at this time.
"And the Shadow Man." Jiang Shan said softly.
So many life forms, they've already seen it. The four fell silent again.
Life can take many forms, but as long as it is life, it will have its own.
Zhao Ying suddenly remembered: "Do you remember, when you go down the cave, they said that there is no erosion here." ”
They have become accustomed to the presence of erosion, and it is indeed surprising to suddenly tell them that there is no erosion in a place.
"Didn't Lao Wei say that it was because the soil layer here was ancient?"
"Speaking of old, with the depth we're in right now, it shouldn't be that old, right?" Although they seem to have descended to a great depth, in terms of the inner diameter of the earth, this depth is simply a drop in the bucket, and the tectonic plate movement of the earth's crust is far deeper than a kilometer, with their soil layer of only ten meters, how old can it be?
I'm afraid that this age can't catch up with an old man.
Wei Yuan suddenly realized what Zhao Ying meant.
"I thought, if not without erosion, but, rather...... But we don't see it? The possibilities that Zhao Ying thought of now were terrifying.
Because the "shadow man" that Jiang Shan inadvertently said just now suddenly reminded people of those abnormal life forms, which are actually all changes under the influence of "erosion".
Whether it's a shadow man or an aquarium creature.
"If we see these abnormal 'water'...... And these mutated caverns...... It's all because the erosion seeps into the soil,
What about the changes that result!? ”
——
The two escaped mercenaries walked desperately in the dark for a while, and only when they were sure that Bai Jin really didn't catch up again did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, they also found that they had no direction in this underground.
"How, what to do?" One of them said with a shocked face.
I knew that just now, I was not so impulsive, but who would have thought that Bai Jin would become such a monster!
No wonder he wasn't afraid to get lost in this underground at all, and even deliberately took them off course, his electronic brain had already stored everything!
They were kept in the dark and played around like monkeys!
"Look at the footprints on the ground." Another person was sharp-eyed and immediately overjoyed, "Let's follow these footprints, we can definitely find the exit!" ”
The two immediately went into action, they pulled the searchlight off their hats and walked directly with the lamp.
The rows of footprints on the ground were extremely clear, which made the two of them even more happy, it was really an endless road, and the two followed the rows of footprints without any suspicion.
After all, they all knew that the workers had disappeared twenty days ago, and even if there were footprints, they wouldn't have stayed that long, and besides, these footprints were so clear, it was obvious that they must have been left when they came down just now.
So they followed the footprints all the way to a tunnel. Here, there are three forks in the road.
"Why don't I think it's right......" one of them finally came back to his senses, "we seem to be going deeper and deeper?" ”
It didn't feel like a way out at all, and the surroundings were even more eerie.
The other man's face also changed, but he couldn't figure out the joints inside: "But there can't be anyone else's footprints except us." ”
The man suddenly said, "Aren't those people?" He was referring to the four Wei Yuan.
Immediately they understood, and looked at each other: "Those people were thrown down by Bai Jin, and they must not be able to get out of the ground." ”
Perhaps, like them, they have long been lost in this space.
"Not necessarily......," said the other, pale, "I've heard that all of them survived all four missions." ”
Now the two of them are lost lambs, there is almost no way to find a way out, and Wei Yuan's team is their only hope.
"You mean to go into this tunnel and look for them?" Another mercenary sank his face, "This tunnel is terrifying at first sight, and I don't know if I can get out alive after entering it." ”
The person on the other side seemed to hesitate: "What if there is really an exit here?" ”
Another mercenary was decisive: "I'm going to go, you're going." I'll find another way. ”
The man was stunned, his eyes swept over the footprints on the ground, he was very sure that he saw three pairs of footprints, and there was a paralyzed man who was in a wheelchair without footprints, and the people who entered this tunnel were 100% from Wei Yuan's team.
"I'll go in."
The other person sneered, and decisively turned around and walked in the other direction, he had already said that there was no morality between these mercenaries, they all flew separately when disaster came, and neither of them was willing to sacrifice themselves for the other.
The man who remained at the mouth of the tunnel carefully checked the footprints on the ground again, and then cautiously walked into the passage "on the left".
At this moment, he is only one person, no matter how bold a person is, he is still a little frightened, when he first entered, he still vigilantly looked around, only to see that it was a very ordinary mud hole, and obvious traces of excavation could be seen around, so he continued to go deeper.
As long as he found those four people, he would definitely be able to get out from here, and he firmly believed that Wei Yuan and the four would be able to find the right way out.
Just after he entered the entrance of the cave, the three pairs of footprints at the entrance of the cave slowly gushed out a water-like liquid, soaking the footprints and gradually blurring them until they disappeared.
The mercenary walked slowly forward, feeling as if he had overlooked another important matter, but he was too nervous to remember what he had overlooked. The mercenary lived by caution, and the thought he couldn't remember was that he didn't even bother to look around, and he didn't notice that the walls of the cave had changed, and that some black beads like pupils were watching him quietly in the darkness.
The mercenary felt as if some cold liquid had dripped into his neck.
His whole body was stiff.
"Tick."
He clutched his neck violently, only to find that his skin was dry and there was nothing at all, as if it were just his hallucination.
But he was already a little panicked, and he clung to his clothes and wrapped his neck. Then he stared at the tunnel ahead with wide eyes, as if there was no end in sight.
He already regretted coming in a little, knowing that he should go with another person to find another way.
Especially at this moment, he suddenly remembered something important that he had overlooked at the entrance of the cave just now.
Three pairs of footprints, Wei Yuan is in a wheelchair and has no footprints.
But what about rut marks that belong to wheelchairs?
The mercenary suddenly straightened up, his back covered in cold sweat and rut marks for a moment! Rutted prints!
You must know that the weight of Wei Yuan's wheelchair is far heavier than the weight of one person, and it is impossible for others to leave footprints, but there is no trace of the wheels of his wheelchair, so the three pairs of footprints at the entrance of the cave are not left by the four members of Wei Yuan's team at all!
This moment of fear overcame all, and the mercenary was in real hell, and he knew what a ridiculous mistake he had made!
"Cluck, squeak, squeak."
This laughter was heard in the mouths of Zhou Hu and the others who had turned into monsters before.
All the mercenary's sanity crumbled, and he turned around and began to run frantically in the direction of the hole, "Cluck, cluck, cluck. ”
As if to laugh at him for being so easily fooled.
Escape! Escape!
There is only this word in his mind, get out of here, as long as you get out of here, you will be saved!
At the last moment of his life, he finally burst out with the strongest desire to survive.
But it was too late.
The mercenary who was walking alone on the other side suddenly heard an extremely terrible cry in his ears, and he could tell that it was from the companion just now.
After two seconds of silence, he said coldly, "Idiot." ”
actually took the initiative to walk into a tunnel that had problems at first glance, and it was like being kicked in the head by a donkey.
The mercenary turned on the searchlight in his hand, the waterways he really dug were wide and steep, it couldn't be such a long and narrow tunnel, he should go as wide as possible, even if he couldn't find the way he came, he would definitely find another exit.
He walked confidently on the road ahead.
The entrance to the cave they had previously descended from was only the closest one to the base, but in fact there was more than one entrance for workers to enter and exit, and there was more than one way out of this passage.
That idiot actually pinned his hopes on someone else.
