Chapter 447: Going deep into the ground [seeking a monthly ticket
The vertical iron staircase goes downwards and goes deep into the ground.
Relying on the flickering light from a head-mounted flashlight in Gu Jun's backpack, he could vaguely see the dark and narrow surroundings.
There are only two hours left in the countdown.
Gu Jun, Yu Chi, Kezia Mason, and the calico cat have been going down the stairs for nearly two hours. They have been calculating the depth, which is already more than a thousand meters underground. Their bodies are already exhausted, but their hands are
The iron staircase I was holding on to seemed to have no end.
The oxygen should become thinner as you go underground, but they didn't notice this change. They don't know if it's because of the dimension or the abnormal power here.
Another situation is that the previous step on the ground that could shorten a long distance did not happen here.
In this environment, people can easily produce the Ganzfeld effect.
For a few moments, Gu Jun seemed to see a hallucination flashing through, or maybe it was not a hallucination, but the phantom of another world, and the locust team flew towards the city...
And Yu Chi has been paying attention to something for a long time. The faint light reflects the carvings on the concrete wall, and many fine lines look like they form strange locusts. Ceremonies often require environmental decoration, and these may be among them.
part.
"Meow?" At this time, the calico cat suddenly meowed suspiciously, sounding a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jun asked. It became more difficult to communicate with the cat down here.
But the meow made the three of them stop for the moment.
The next moment, the entire iron staircase began to shake, and the shaking quickly became violent. Yu Chi exclaimed: "Hold on!" The three of them grasped the iron ladder tightly with both hands and leaned on it, while the variegated cat swayed
While holding Gu Jun's neck with both paws, he hooked the iron ladder with his tail.
There seems to be an endless abyss below. If you fall into it, you may be shattered into pieces.
"Well..." Kezia Mason gritted her teeth with difficulty.
Gu Jun understood that if she really didn't have that kind of witch power now, the current situation would be very difficult for her.
Unlike them, she had the strength of an adult man and had no military training. Instead, she was a rich girl from the 17th century. Perhaps the most tiring thing she ever did was dance at a social dinner, and she also spent time in jail.
But he still did not relax his vigilance against her, and the witch's power was still missing.
Is it possessed by Kezia Mason? She doesn't even know it, but she will be controlled by her future self at any time.
After a minute, not only did the shaking show no sign of stopping, it became more and more intense. Even the walls and the ground were shaking, as if something was about to rush up from below.
"Meow, meow!" the colorful cat cried out hurriedly again, and things have changed.
Although there are still two hours left in the countdown, this is just a deadline of unknown origin, and no one can guarantee that nothing will happen before the deadline.
"Keep going!" Gu Jun shouted, "We must continue, this shaking will not stop."
Because Kezia Mason was the first to go down, they could not move unless she went down. However, she went down several steps with difficulty, almost losing her grip and falling down at almost every step. At this time, Gu Jun missed Xue
Damn, with Captain Xue's size, it would be no problem to carry Mason down there, but he can only carry one cat.
"My arms are shaking..." Kezia Mason's voice is also shaking, "I can't hold on anymore..."
"Miss Mason, use your courage and hold on for a while." Gu Jun said immediately, "I can already see the ground, it's not far away!"
This is just his lie, just like a doctor telling a patient to hold on a little longer, it will be over soon, it will be over soon.
When he looked down, he could only see a pitch black that no light could penetrate.
He didn't know how much strength these words gave Kezia Mason to persevere, but the girl was still able to walk steadily without falling. This made him wonder whether this weakness was her disguise.
You know, even he himself is about to suffer a lot.
"Gu Captain, we still have to take a break..." Yu Chi gasped, "The stairs from last time."
Yu Chi didn't tell the whole story, but Gu Jun understood that it was he who told Yu Chi about the stairs in the library of Nacht City.
Is this a trap? Let them be exhausted first. Then there is something guarding down there...
Is this their creation, or is it the original nature of things...
"But we are hanging here and there is no way to rest." Gu Jun said helplessly, "If we stop for a long time, we will lose strength, so we should work hard in one go."
"That's right." Yu Chi agreed, but became even more anxious.
As expected, the shaking did not stop, so they could only continue like this, with each level being more difficult than the previous one.
After more than half an hour, Gu Jun did see the hazy underground this time. It was a flat passage, and no one could be seen.
"Hold on a little longer and we'll be there!"
This time, Kezia Mason responded hoarsely: "Sir... you have said this for the tenth time..."
But when she, Yu Chi and the variegated cat looked down, they could see the difference, so they mustered up new energy and continued going down.
Bang, bang, not long after, the three of them fell to the ground at the entrance of the corridor one after another. They all collapsed on the ground for a while, and it was difficult to move their fingers.
"Meow..." The calico cat also landed firmly, stood firm, and raised its tail. However, she looked at the three people on the ground with envy. That was the state she should have been in.
There may not be many followers of the Locust God left. All the people are concentrated at the altar. They didn't expect anyone to come in. There is no defense here. There are eight identical intersections on all sides of this passage, all covered by weird-shaped electric lights on the wall.
When illuminated, the three-meter-wide road surface is smooth and stretches in, like a maze.
The shaking continued, and the three of them waited for a while before they could stand up again.
The two grown men didn't know how the girl was actually doing. They only knew that they were about to fall apart.
"Which way should we go?" Yu Chi scratched his head and looked around, "Which intersection leads to the altar? Or is this the altar?"
"Are we really powerful enough to destroy this place?" Gu Jun frowned and said, no one could answer him.
This is not a small place, it seems to be an underground city.
Moreover, the evil believers in Angel City not only have abnormal powers, they also have thermal weapons, including all kinds of guns and cannons.
However, they are unarmed and exhausted. The journey they have made all the way to this point is more like leading to their own destiny than changing anything.
"Meow." The variegated cat pointed to an intersection with its paw, then pointed to the alphabet, and said: "I feel it is over there, and I seem to hear some sounds. Let me open the way. I am small and light-footed.
, it’s not easy to be discovered, and it still has nine lives.”
