The battle on the ground was going on in full swing. Although Shet knew everything that was happening above, he had already asked Kobik to call the Mexican regular army for support. As long as Kobik could hold the entrance to the cave, their personal safety would be guaranteed.
The four walls of the passage into the altar were all made of unknown alloys. Even the knowledgeable Ruwa could not tell the materials of these alloys. This discovery made Sheite very excited. He did not care much about ancient civilizations, as long as
The things he finds can only make his work report look good. As for what is in it, it will naturally be revealed by professional scientists.
Suddenly, Manus, who was walking at the front, stopped because there were three forked roads in front of them. The three forked roads were exactly the same and they couldn't tell where they should go.
Manus called a soldier over, pointed to the fork in the road on the left, and said: "Go this way, keep in contact with the radio at all times, and come back when you find the fork in the road!"
The soldier took the order and carefully walked into the passage.
Manus stared at his back and suddenly asked: "What's the discovery?"
"No...the same as before."
"keep going!"
"Okay..." The soldier continued to walk forward and walked a few dozen meters. He subconsciously looked back and suddenly found that his companion who was supposed to be far away was missing. He was so frightened that he immediately stopped.
At this time, Manus's voice came from his walkie-talkie, "Why don't you leave?"
"Can you see me?" the soldier asked in surprise.
"What are you doing standing there like a fool? Is there a fork in the road?"
"Oh my god! I can't see you! I can't see you when I turn around, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Huh?" Manus was stunned, frowned, and said, "You take five steps back from the way you came!"
"OK!"
Seeing that the soldier was still walking forward, Manus shouted: "You idiot! I told you to retreat!"
"I'm retreating!"
"Then take five more steps in the opposite direction!"
"Okay...ok...oh my god, why can't I see you! I'm not blind!"
"Stop! Don't move!" Manus' voice trembled a little as he asked, "You walked in different directions twice, right?"
"Yes! Why can't I see you?"
Manus was silent. The current situation was really strange. No matter whether the soldier was moving forward or retreating, in the eyes of Manus and his party, he was always moving forward. This was simply unreasonable!
Shete, Ruwa and others couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Everyone looked at Manus, waiting for him to speak.
A few minutes later, Manus said into the walkie-talkie in a deep voice: "Go back the way you came."
"Okay!" The soldier walked quickly in the direction he came from, as if he had received an amnesty.
In the eyes of Manus and his party, this soldier was actually walking away into the distance. Manus asked: "Have you spotted us?"
"No, where are you? Can you see me?"
"We can see..." Manus said, "We can see... stop for me, why did you turn?"
"Ah?" The soldier's voice was full of panic. In his opinion, he had walked back far enough, but he still didn't see any of his companions. He endured the fear in his heart and asked, "Then
What should I do now?"
"You go back! Go back slowly!" Manus said.
"Okay... I'll retreat... I'll retreat... Don't leave me behind... Hey! Hey! Talk, talk... Where are you bastards? Where are you?"
While the soldiers were shouting, Manus was also calling, but there was only noise on the walkie-talkie.
A big living person just disappeared before your eyes!
Manus stood up slowly and asked: "Shet, can you contact Kobik?"
"Let me try!" Shete immediately adjusted the communicator to the same channel as Kobik, "Hey! Kobik, how is the situation there?"
"Don't worry! These bastards will definitely not be able to get in. The Mexican army has already left. Let these bastards look good when the time comes!"
Xie Te finally felt relieved and asked again: "Is Korkina still safe?"
"Wait a minute and let me see...she...seems to be still hiding in the camp!"
"What?" Shet said angrily, "Why didn't you take her with you?"
"The situation is too chaotic! Don't worry, she should be hiding well...Okay, these bastards are attacking again, I'm going to take command!"
"Hey! Hey! Kobik!" Shete shouted several times, but only fierce gunshots and explosions came from the communicator. He was so angry that he almost dropped the communicator.
Manus breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shet! Calm down!"
"This bastard!" Shete turned off the communicator dejectedly and said, "What should we do next?"
Manus said: "You can't take the fork on the left! Find someone to try the right!"
As soon as his words came out, all the soldiers trembled. Manus's eyes flashed with anger. He glanced at the soldiers, pointed at the shortest one and said, "You! Go to the right!"
The other soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but the little soldier sat down on the ground with a frightened plop.
Manus smiled, waved, and said: "Don't be so afraid, I won't abandon you. This time you walk on a rope! You will come back when the rope ends! Also, walk backwards and keep looking.
us!"
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. A companion handed him a rope and tied it around his waist.
The little soldier prayed and slowly backed away. He stared at Manus and the others closely, not daring to blink at all.
One meter, two meters, three meters... dozens of meters later, the little soldier finally couldn't help but blink his eyes. Then, he suddenly discovered that all his companions were gone, and the rope around his waist extended to the end of his sight.
"I can't see you! I want to go back!" the little soldier yelled while holding on to the rope and running back.
And in this scene, in the eyes of Manus and his group, it was the soldier who was desperately running away, the rope was also reduced, and it was about to end.
"Hold that fool!" Manus shouted.
The soldier holding the rope grasped the rope hard, but he could not resist the strong force at all. The rope rubbed violently with his palm, and it continued to decrease, and finally entered the fork in the road completely.
But at this moment, the same scene as before happened. The soldier suddenly turned into a fork in the road and was no longer visible. Even the radio had no response. Everyone watched helplessly as the yellow rope turned into a fork in the road and disappeared.
A trace of fear crept into everyone's hearts. Manus swallowed hard and said: "It seems that we can't take the two forked roads. We can only take the middle road..."
Ruwa said tremblingly: "Is this road safe?"
Everyone was silent, yes... Is the middle road safe? Should I find someone to try?
…
At this time, Xia Yu and Qisha had already entered the central passage. Seeing the flat walls, both of them looked surprised.
Xia Yu squatted down, touched the cold ground, and said, "Metal."
Qisha touched the wall, "It's also made of metal!"
She pointed to the top and said with a smile: "Do you think the top is made of metal?"
"You'll know after you try it." Xia Yu smiled, took out a dagger and threw it upwards with all his strength.
With a scoff, the dagger suddenly penetrated into the ceiling...
