Just when the two of them felt more and more depressed because the entrance of the cave was getting narrower and narrower, Ye Haoxuan in front felt that his eyes were empty and a larger space appeared. He couldn't help but feel relaxed and subconsciously swam upward.
But he didn't swim for long before he encountered the stone wall above. It turned out that this place was not the exit, but the entrance of the cave became wider.
The two of them could walk side by side, but this place was getting darker and darker in the depths of the cave. The searchlights above their heads could only illuminate a small area. To prevent accidents, the two of them paddled forward side by side.
At this moment, a black shadow floated towards the two of them. Under the light, the black shadow could be clearly seen. It was a human skeleton. Maybe it was because it had been too long, so the skeleton had completely
Rotting, his body was exposed with white bones, especially his empty eyes, which gave people a sense of fear.
Fortunately, Ye Haoxuan and Asada Mako are both people who have seen the world. Needless to say, Ye Haoxuan is a ruthless guy, and this thing can't scare him at all. And Asada Mako is a specially trained agent, plus her
She is a doctor and often works with corpses, so she doesn't feel anything about this skeleton.
It's just that a skeleton appeared here, which made her feel a little strange.
The two of them ignored the skeleton. When they passed by him, they just circled him slightly, and then continued to paddle forward.
But not too far forward, another skeleton appeared. This skeleton was almost identical to the previous one.
I think of the boss of the Hot Spring Villa saying that an expedition team went to explore the underground river and never came out again. This matter was filed in the police station at the time, so there was no hidden secret.
The two skeletons may be those explorers who unfortunately died.
However, there is nothing dangerous in this cave entrance. Why they died here is beyond the two of them. They bypassed the skeleton and continued to swim forward.
They swam forward for about dozens of meters before reaching the entrance of the cave. The two of them struggled to swim upstream. At this moment, a strange fluorescent light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. This fluorescent light was like a storm.
, the figures of the two people floated involuntarily toward the fluorescent light...
But before the two of them could react, the fluorescent light disappeared, and their eyes returned to the gloomy appearance under the water. At this moment, the tops of their heads lit up, and they finally emerged from the water.
The underground river became wider here, and the two of them swam to the shore and climbed up. They both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the two of them have good water skills, they always feel less down-to-earth in the underground river.
After adjusting his breath for a while on the ground, Ye Haoxuan looked around and saw a light shining above his head. The two of them seemed to be in a huge volcano. There was a huge hole above their head, but the hole was extremely high.
It makes people feel like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
Moreover, the surrounding steep mountain walls are covered with slippery moss, so it is almost impossible to climb from this place to the entrance of the cave.
"Where are we now?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"Let me look at the terrain map." Asada Mako said as she took out the terrain scanner. This thing has been waterproofed. When turned on, it will automatically emit an electromagnetic wave and record the surrounding terrain.
, and then drew a map, which was very easy to use. What the two of them were afraid of was that there were too many forks in the underground river and they might not be able to find a way out, so they took such a thing with them, and it is actually used now.
With a soft beeping sound, the scanner had scanned the surrounding road conditions, and the terrain within a radius of 500 meters was clearly displayed.
"This... this is different from the terrain we scanned before." Asada Mako was surprised. She had already scanned the underground river when the two went into the water. The underground river just now was definitely not as long as 500 meters.
It's just that the two of them walked a lot of winding roads inside, so it seemed to take a little longer.
But the terrain scanned here now is completely different from the previous terrain. This is somewhat unreasonable. Even if the two people have moved forward, the terrain scanner is very accurate. It can accurately locate the location where the two people were before, but now the scanning
The meter is beeping, which is the sign that something is wrong.
In other words, the two of them could no longer determine how far they were from when they dived before.
"If one group hears it, please answer, if one group hears it, please answer..." Asada Mako took out a walkie-talkie and shouted a few times. She shook her head helplessly at Ye Haoxuan because there was no response from the other party.
"There is no signal on the mobile phone." Ye Haoxuan took out his mobile phone from the waterproof bag and found that there was a big cross on it. His mobile phone was modified by the military assassins and used military channel signals. It cannot be used even in desolate places.
There may be no signal at all.
"I don't have mine either... This is impossible..." There is also a big exclamation mark on Asada Mako's mobile phone. Her mobile phone is from the special department. It has extremely complete functions and a very strong signal, no matter how bad the conditions are.
, it is impossible for there to be no signal.
"Let's walk forward first. The water in front of us doesn't seem too deep." Ye Haoxuan pointed forward.
Mako Asada and Ye Haoxuan walked forward together. The water here was only about a foot deep, and there was a trace of white gas on the thin stream. The water here was warm to the touch. Apparently the water from the hot spring resort outside came from here. The two of them
The place where I just surfaced looked a bit like a deep pool.
The water in front of them is getting shallower and shallower. It was still several feet at first, but now it only reaches the heel. Moreover, the shape of the stone in the water is very strange. Not only is it strange, but it also shines with light from time to time. The two of them have no intention of looking at the stone now.
, just want to find out where the Destroyer is.
But some water had just entered their genetic scanner. Although it was waterproof, no one could guarantee that it would be foolproof, so the two of them had no choice but to move forward blindly.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up. They had already walked out of the cave. An extremely wide river bed appeared in front of them. Ye Haoxuan looked up at the sky. What surprised him was that the sky was red, as if it had just rained.
It's like fire burning clouds.
"Where are we now?" Ye Haoxuan looked around. The trees around were taller. He couldn't name the trees for a while. It was winter now. Most of the trees in the Japanese country could not withstand this severe cold, so they could
It's a bit strange to see these green trees in this place.
"I can't tell. We just arrived here from Dongfu Hot Spring. The distance is at most one thousand meters, but now the terrain has completely changed. The scanned terrain is not the terrain near the hot spring villa." Asada Mako looked at the scanner in his hand
, said somewhat speechlessly.
"This is no longer a hot spring villa?" Ye Haoxuan was surprised, as if he had remembered something.
"Yes... I feel... as if we suddenly appeared in another place." Asada Mako said.
"There are corpses." Ye Haoxuan pointed forward and saw five or six corpses lying flat where he pointed. In other words, these corpses should be called skeletons, because the muscles on their bodies had long been completely rotten, and even
The clothes were rotten and looked like they had been here for some time.
"There are six people in total, plus the two people in the water before, the total is eight... Three years ago, an expedition team entered this underground river, and they never went back." Asada Mako sighed.
Ye Haoxuan walked to the vicinity of the corpses. He leaned down and inspected each corpse. Because it was too long ago, it was difficult for him to judge how these people died. Just like the two people under the water just now, there were not many there at all.
of danger.
Moreover, these people have already emerged from the water, but why did they die here? Moreover, everyone was huddled together with fatigue, and it seemed that they died in great pain.
"Ichiro Hirata." Asada Mako took down a pendant from a corpse and saw a name engraved on it.
"Is he from the expedition team?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, they are from the expedition team. According to the information filed at the police station, Ichiro Hirata and his party of eight entered here to explore, and then all disappeared, which became an unsolved case. At that time, someone also suggested going into the water to have a look, but they were afraid of danger, so
Let's just leave it alone, it turned out that these people really died here." Asada Mako said.
"They died a little strangely." Ye Haoxuan frowned and looked at the corpses, and he fell into deep thought.
"They did not die from injuries, because the bones on their bodies were all intact." Asada Mako looked at several people, but did not find anything suspicious about them.
"No, the bones are not intact." Ye Haoxuan picked up a small stone and knocked it on the spine of one of them...
These people have been dead for a long time. It stands to reason that their bones will become very fragile after being weathered in this place, and they will definitely be broken with a knock. However, there was no clicking sound when Ye Haoxuan knocked.
The man's spine was flat and melted like two thin pieces of crispy skin.
"The inside of his bones were eaten by something. These things should be some kind of insect-like things that can penetrate into their bone marrow and eat away the core of their bones, leaving only the surface layer.
." Ye Haoxuan said in a deep voice.
"What is that?" Asada Mako said.
"I don't know, I don't think those things are like things on earth." Ye Haoxuan shook his head.
"The top priority is to find the Destroyer first. These people will be dealt with later." Asada Mako took out a portable genetic scanner from her backpack. She pressed the button, and the scanner began to detect the surroundings.
Fortunately, this thing worked better after being turned on and became normal.
