Chapter 260 Two-month internal eclipse (4000-character chapter)(1/2)
"Sorry, I was a little too..." The hunter named Martin said a little embarrassedly, "In the end... in my memory, there seemed to be an explosion and an avalanche..."
"Memory? Finally?" Ke Lan narrowed her eyes, "Don't you remember what you just dreamed about?"
"Dream? What dream? Does it mean when I was in a coma?" Martin said in surprise. From his very natural expression, he should not be lying.
Ke Lan and the Hound looked at each other and nodded at each other - it seems that the mental attack of the bottomless sky pit was not a "coverage strike". Like Martin and Qin Zhao, they obviously did not suffer from nightmare.
Just being shocked.
"Two, can you tell us what happened? Also, where is this place? Could it be... it's at the bottom of the sinkhole?" Martin looked at the stone room in panic, and stood
Qin Zhao next to him was much calmer. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"We don't know where this place is, but it's probably not far from the sinkhole." Ke Lan said, "As for what happened before, the exile's convoy attacked the observatory and your North Star camp, and the explosion triggered the
The avalanche, like you, we were all affected and fell into the sinkhole, and when we woke up, we were already in this place."
"In other words, we were moved to this stone chamber?" Qin Zhao raised his head, frowned slightly, and asked at Ke Lan.
"It should be, but it's hard to say whether we are 'people'."
"Then let's find a way to leave here now. I always feel that it's so bad to stay here!" Martin said quickly.
"We want to leave here too, but there is no exit here." The hound shrugged.
"There is no exit? How is it possible? Then how did we come in?" Just as Martin was still shouting, Qin Zhao had already walked into a adjacent stone chamber, and her voice came from the next door: "These stone chambers,
Is each the same?”
"A total of nine rooms, all the same." The Hound replied, "No need to waste time. We have checked it a lot."
"Then are we trapped here?" Martin looked a little depressed. "When I fell from the wall of the pit, I thought I was dead, but who knew I was not dead... I didn't die, but I wanted to live
I can't live..."
He knelt on the ground, raised his head, and said sadly: "I don't want to die... I'm still a virgin. I still have so many things I want to do...."
Hearing his lament, the hound suddenly burst out with a "puff". He turned his head and looked at Ke Lan, but was glared back by the latter.
"We were trapped to death, but not completely trapped to death." Ke Lan glanced at her watch, "There are still twenty-five minutes left, and the mechanism of the stone chamber should be activated."
"Mechanism? What mechanism?" When Marting heard that there was hope of getting out, he was shocked and stood up and asked.
Qin Zhao also quickly returned to the stone chamber, staring at Ke Lan with bright eyes.
"I don't know, the only clue we have is the 'bimoon eclipse', and there are still twenty-four minutes left before the most recent bimoon eclipse." Ke Lan replied.
"Wait, see what happens when you see it - I advise you not to be too happy too early, no one knows what happens when you wait... Maybe nothing will happen." The Hound added.
"Why is it an eclipse within two months?" Qin Zhao took a step forward, "How did you get this clue?"
"This involves trade secrets. You are from the Polaris Hunting Group, and we can't tell you." The hound said, suddenly showing a smirk and patted the holster on his waist. "Of course, if you really
If I really want to know, I can tell you... But after I finish speaking, I will silence you. How about it? Should I be a seeker who "who hears the truth in the morning and dies in the evening"?
”
"I don't want to know, I don't want to know at all, please don't tell me!" Before Qin Zhao could speak, Martin had already lying on the ground first. He closed his eyes tightly and covered his ears with both hands.
I was afraid that I would accidentally hear the "trade secret" mentioned by the hunting dog.
"Then... forget it." Qin Zhao showed a timid expression on his face and shook his head gently.
After all, they are just a group of no-experienced novices hunters. They are so tender in front of Ke Lan and the Hound.
"Twenty minutes left." Ke Lan said lightly.
The hound walked over and pulled Martin up who was lying on the ground. The latter was so scared that he shivered and thought he was going to be silenced.
"What are you afraid of? You are so timid, and you dare to explore the S-level ruins?" The hunting dog was so angry that he sucked the other person's butt hard.
"Because... because... they said... this ruin is not dangerous, the casualty rate is almost zero, and the dead are all lost by operating errors... I... I came..." Martin said timidly.
, "They also said that this ruin may be demoted soon, so come quickly when it is not demoted... This reward can be much higher, and it can also add a S-level exploration qualification to themselves...
They said this opportunity is once a lifetime…”
He didn't speak very clearly, but Ke Lan and the Hound still heard a rough answer. The Hound sighed and shook his head in a bit unbearable way: "Who are they? People from the Polaris Hunting Group?"
"No, it's someone I met at the Hunter's Club and the bar. They said there was a reliable way and only a little agency fee could introduce me here..."
"The relationship is sold and I am still counting the money for people." said the Hound, "You have all been deceived. There are indeed very few people who died in this ruins, but more than half of them went crazy after returning. I guess they didn't.
Tell you this?"
"Crazy, crazy?" Martin asked in disbelief, "What's going on?"
"Mental attacks, there should be some devices in the ruins that will launch mental attacks on people entering the sinkhole. This mental attack cannot be detected by human feelings. Anyone who is attacked will fall into a nightmare.
I can't extricate myself..." Ke Lan said.
"So, you just asked if we had dreams because of this?" Qin Zhao said.
"Yes." Ke Lan did not intend to conceal this matter. Anyway, this was a dispute between Qin Zhao and others and the North Star Hunting Group, and it had nothing to do with them.
"Then... Cao Feng and the others were attacked mentally?" Qin Zhao looked at the person lying on the ground.
"Three of them can be confirmed to have been mentally attacked, but I have injected them with Mengzao preparation and neutralizing agent, so there will be no danger for the time being." Ke Lan said, "The only problem is that they have more than ten of them.
Two hours... Oh, no, it's probably more than twelve hours if calculated based on the injection dose."
Ke Lan added another shot later. If this is the case, Cao Feng, Ivan and Akira Asano will have a sleeping time of more than twenty hours.
"What about the others?"
"They should just be in a coma..."
Before Ke Lan finished speaking, Leiden sat up from the ground and muttered dizzyly: "Where is this? Wait a minute! Didn't I fall into the sinkhole? Old dog
?Ke Lan?!"
"Stop yelling, everyone is alive." The hound walked forward, kicked Layton's butt, and then pulled him into a stone chamber next to him.
There are some things that cannot be known to Qin Zhao and Martin... Otherwise, according to what the Hound said, they can only be silenced.
Not long after, Zhuoligetu also woke up. Through communication, it was learned that Leiden and Zhuoligetu had no nightmare either...or rather, they no longer remembered it.
Ke Lan glanced at her watch again, and there were still two minutes left before the "bimoon eclipse".
This is, Qin Zhao suddenly spoke: "That... can you exchange our weapons for us? If something unexpected happens, Martin and I can also provide you with some support."
"Support?" The Hound glanced at Martin standing behind Qin Zhao, "If something really happens, are you sure this kid would not accidentally hurt his own people in a hurry?"
"No, no, no, no..." Martin hurriedly defended, "My shooting subjects in the relic hunter entry assessment are all full marks..."
"It's a blessing that you scored a lot of points in shooting, otherwise I would suspect that you wouldn't be able to match the criteria." The hunting dog complained, "With your psychological quality, no matter how good the shooting skills are, it's not enough to be effective... Shooting
The target is not the same as the monster that is shooting at you.”
"Monster, monster... Previously, senior, have you ever encountered monsters in the ruins? What do those monsters... look like?"
"That's a lot..."
Just when the Hound wanted to brag, Ke Lan interrupted him: "Stop bragging now, there are still the last thirty seconds."
After saying that, Ke Lan turned his head again and said to Layton quickly: "Lyton, return the gun to them. If something really jumps out, we will not be able to separate people to protect them. How much
Give them some self-protection ability.”
"Hey, then." Leiden threw two pistols in the holster to Qin Zhao and Martin, "Rookies, remember one thing, don't point the gun at your own people, even if it's closed.
Even then!”
He only gave each of them one magazine. In Layton's opinion, a few more things that cannot be solved by one magazine will not help, especially for such an inexperienced rookie.
The effect of giving them guns is greater than self-defense.
"Five seconds." Ke Lan stared at the pointer on the dial.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. They only felt that the last five seconds seemed to have become extremely long. The slender seconds hand seemed to be stuck in glue, and it didn't beat for a long time.
...
"It seems that nothing happened?" the hound said softly, holding the gun in both hands, raising his head, and carefully looking at the ceiling above his head.
"Shh... it seems that there is a sound." Ke Lan made a gesture of silence. The next second, his face suddenly changed, "The sound of water! It's the sound of water!"
Although there were no gaps or holes on the ground of the stone chamber, a large amount of clear liquid actually emerged directly from the floor, and in a blink of an eye it had already passed the insteps of everyone's feet.
"Raise the person lying on the ground!" shouted the hound, "Put it on the stone platform!"
The liquids quickly reached the height of Ke Lan's chest, almost flush with the surface of the stone platform. Just as Ke Lan was worried about how to solve the breathing problem after the stone chamber was filled, the water level finally stopped rising.
"It seems to have stopped." Martin couldn't help but say, he glanced at Ke Lan and the others, "We... what should we do?"
"Test the components of these liquids first." Ke Lan nodded to Layton and said.
"...This thing is serious water. According to the analysis results, it contains a certain amount of mineral impurities, but it is not toxic, radiation, and no parasites or other microorganisms are found... From a certain perspective
In other words, most water sources are cleaner than Alpha Star and fully meet the Level 4 drinking standards.”
"Can you drink?" The hunting dog was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but snatch a handful of water, put it in front of his nose and smell it.
"You can drink it by filtering a little." Layton nodded.
