Feng Yu and the others were guarding the woods outside. This place was only a few miles away from Ridgeback Mountain. Although Ridgeback Mountain blocked the wind and snow, the temperature was still very low.
The waiting time was long, and Feng Yu felt unsure about waiting for something that might not even exist.
It is true that people have thoughts after death. It does happen a lot, but it may not happen to these Japanese people. There are twenty death reports for twenty people, which sounds a bit weird.
The three of them waited in the woods for about a few hours, and something strange happened.
From where Feng Yu and the others were, they could directly see the panoramic view of the exploration base. Just when it was getting dark, Feng Yu clearly saw several Japanese walking out of the two-story wooden house, first one or two, and then
Many appeared in a row, standing in a neat row, with their equipment fully strapped on.
Feng Yu was shocked by this scene. He kept asking himself, did they come down from the second floor?
This group of Japanese were dressed in work clothes. Feng Yu roughly counted them, no more, no less, there were twenty in total.
After they rectified for a while, they left here, led by two men holding guns. The guns held by those two men were the M1916 semi-automatic rifles brought by Zhang Xiuxian!
Zhang Xiuxian didn't speak for a while, his face turned pale. It was obvious that anyone would be frightened by this kind of thing. The three of them looked at each other, knowing that something supernatural had happened, but that wasn't what they were waiting for. They just didn't want to know how it would feel after it actually happened.
Somewhat weird.
Zhang Manyue took the lead and followed them without much communication with the two of them. She was used to being alone.
Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian followed closely. What was happening now was unbelievable. Is the person they were chasing a human or a ghost?
This is the hinterland of the Greater Khingan Mountains in the north of the Xing'an Mountains, the deep virgin forests behind the snowfields. Everything seems to be illusory and illusory. I am afraid no one can believe that they have discovered a Japanese exploration base here!
The three of them didn't speak during the whole journey. They saw that the Japanese group was stretching in a long line. After it became completely dark, it became very difficult to follow. After walking around in the big woods for a long time, Feng Yu himself had lost his direction.
, but saw this group of Japanese stopped. They stopped at a place with obvious signs of repairs on the ground.
The three of them were watching from a distance to see what kind of tricks these people were doing, and what kind of address exploration had to be carried out in the middle of the night?
The group of Japanese lined up on the spot, and then went underground one by one. After getting closer, Feng Yu saw a hole supported by wooden piles in the middle. This must be the place they wanted to explore.
After all the Japanese went down, Zhang Manyue walked out. She squatted at the entrance of the cave with a melancholy expression. Feng Yu had never seen such a side of her before. It seemed that she was really encountering something difficult to solve.
Zhang Xiuxian couldn't wait to say: "Holy crap, twenty people have gone down? What is there underground? Why do the Japanese always choose this time to work?"
"Are you still in the mood to worry about this? Are these people fucking human beings?" Feng Yu asked back.
Zhang Manyue took out the compass in her arms, and the pointer on it was buzzing around. After she turned a few times, there was still no response, and she said in a deep voice to the two of them: "The magnetic field here is extremely chaotic.
There must be something affecting it down there, we have to go down and take a look."
Feng Yu really admired Zhang Manyue's courage. How could a young and beautiful girl not be afraid at all?
"Zhang Manyue, we can't just say this. There is nothing underneath, but there really is something. We are here to find the Immortal King's Palace. There is no need to rush to be a prospector. Besides, this is not our specialty." Feng Yu
Speak rationally.
Zhang Xiuxian agreed, "I say, big sister, it's not the time we are here. It's so late at night that you know what's down there. Didn't you see it? Those Japanese people just went down."
Zhang Manyue said coldly: "If my guess is correct, there must be some extremely special substance down here. The group of Japanese we saw are not humans or ghosts, but the people left behind after being affected by special substances nearby.
The memory shadow produced.”
Feng Yu didn't understand it at all, and found that the books he had read for so many years were as if he had never read them in front of Zhang Manyue, "What is a memory shadow? What is that thing?"
Zhang Manyue put it in the simplest way: "Actually, a certain memory from before life has been completely preserved. It is a fragment that has been repeated after time has been imprinted. What affects all of this is what is underneath. I guess what is underneath
Maybe there is a huge copper mine."
Feng Yu admired Zhang Manyue even more. Not only did this girl know Japanese, but she also knew about copper mines. Where did she learn these things?
"Copper mine? Are you saying that the copper mine affects the magnetic field here, and those Japanese are illusory shadows?" Feng Yu asked, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Zhang Xiuxian said in a swollen face: "If you say this, I will know it. I once resold a bronze statue, which was a drinking utensil used by the king during his lifetime. After the rich businessman bought it home, he bought it in the evening.
My house is always haunted, saying that I kept seeing an ancient king wandering around his living room. Later I found out that this bronze vessel has a memory function, and that the bronze statue can record scenes from thousands of years ago. What are you talking about?
Isn’t that true?”
What Zhang Xiuxian said is not unreasonable. There are quite a few people who have memories of copper. Bronze objects are very magical. It is not impossible to say that there is a huge copper mine underneath that caused everything to happen.
Feng Yu looked down the cave for a few times. There was a wooden ladder on one side that had been submerged in the darkness. The lower part looked eerie and indescribably scary.
Feng Yu actually didn't want to go down. They were here to find the Immortal King's Palace. There was no need to go down to this copper mine, but Zhang Manyue didn't know what kind of evil he possessed, so he had to go down and take a look.
"Isn't there a copper mine down here? We don't have to go in. It's not a long-term solution for us in this deep mountain now. It's still unclear whether we can find the Immortal King's Palace. The things we bring are limited, so don't waste it here.
It’s time, even if the Japanese find underground copper mines, they won’t be able to move them away.”
Zhang Xiuxian said: "Hey, that's wrong. The Japanese are on our territory. Think about it, can they just fool him into this matter?"
Zhang Xiuxian is a very patriotic person, and he will definitely not pretend that he didn't see it.
Feng Yu saw that he couldn't move the two of them, so he had no choice but to give up. Zhang Manyue's determination was already made, and Zhang Xiuxian insisted on going with him even though he didn't know what the reason was.
It's dark now, there's a black light underneath
There is a blind fire. Who knows if there is really some kind of copper mine underneath? What if it is not a copper mine?
Feng Yu analyzed it again for the two of them: "Zhang Manyue, have you ever thought about why these twenty of them died? I dare not say anything else. Half of the reasons must be related to the things under the cave.
related."
Zhang Xiuxian agreed, "Hey, Feng Yu, you are right, I think so too, then we have to go down and take a look, right?"
"I mean, we have to be more careful."
Zhang Manyue understood what Feng Yu meant. She thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go down and take a look first. If there are any problems, I'll come back right away. You two will stay up there to take care of it."
Feng Yu originally felt that Zhang Manyue's method was a good choice. She, Zhang Manyue, had special advantages in terms of experience and skills. It was not a big deal for her to go down first to explore. If there was any problem down there, she would run away alone.
It's definitely faster than three people. Besides, this place is very strange, and you really don't know what will happen.
Zhang Xiuxian disagreed when he heard it, "No, no, we have to go together. The three of us are a team, and we can't let you take this risk alone. Feng Yu and I don't have the ability you have, but it won't hold us back. Let's not have any more troubles between us."
What’s the point of personal heroism? If you want to go, you must go together!”
Zhang Xiuxian has a strong collective consciousness, which is related to his many years of joining the army. His principle is not to abandon any of his comrades. In this regard, he is somewhat similar to the squad leader named Shan Laohan.
Zhang Xiuxian vetoed it outright, either the three of them should go down together, or no one should go.
While they were discussing, Zhang Manyue climbed down the wooden ladder at the entrance of the cave alone. Zhang Xiuxian followed without saying a word. Feng Yu was helpless, but he could only bite the bullet and be the last to climb down the wooden ladder.
Feng Yu's heart was full of rejection. As a person, it's not difficult to figure out that maybe it's not that simple.
The wooden stairs leading to the bottom are still as strong as ever after decades. It is easy to see that a lot of effort was put into building this place.
The entrance of the cave is about two meters in diameter, with uneven walls. The wooden ladder extends downwards, submerging into the darkness, and the bottom is bottomless.
The three of them turned on the flashlights and put them on their waists. Under the bright light, Feng Yu saw that the stone on the cave wall was a soft rock layer. Many weeds grew in the interlayers of the stone cracks, some of which were covered.
After climbing the wooden ladder, Feng Yu and the others had to go down carefully. If they were not careful, they might step on the missing ladder and fall down.
Zhang Manyue opened the way at the bottom. Her body was flexible and her speed was slightly faster. About ten minutes later, she heard Zhang Manyue jump to the ground with a "dong" sound. The wooden ladder reached the bottom. The depth of the hole was initially estimated.
It is thirty to tens of meters deep.
Zhang Xiuxian and Feng Yu reached the bottom one after the other. The surrounding environment was still a rock layer, but the special underground smell emitted made people feel a little nauseous.
What appears below is a dark road, which continues to go deeper. This place forms a ninety-degree right angle with the entrance of the cave above. Looking down, the darkness is endless, and I don't know where it leads.
Somehow, Feng Yu's first impression was that this hole and the passage below were mined. Who knows why the Japanese dug a hole of thirty meters and such a passage back then.
