"Inside there, apart from the dead tree we walked out from, is a piece of black and rotten wasteland."
Xue Ba recalled those dry and dead silences. Even though he had long been accustomed to seeing abnormal forces, he still felt shocked. "The dead tree is the center point. We walk in any direction around us and walk a straight line of 1037 meters to reach the high point."
There are walls. There are high stone walls on all sides, and we are enclosed inside."
"How high is the wall?" Gu Jun couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Xue Ba said this with emotion. "We used the drone we brought in to fly up to have a look. The maximum flight altitude was more than 1,500 meters, but we still couldn't fly out. Any higher and the drone would lose control.
It fell down and the images taken were blurry."
A high circular stone wall with a length of more than 1,500 meters and a diameter of 2,074 meters. How majestic it must be...
Gu Jun frowned silently, could it be a human creation?
"That wall gives us no way out." Xue Ba continued to explain.
The Demon Hunter team spent half a month exploring the wasteland. The superiors never dared to let them make radical attempts, such as using explosives to blast the high wall, for fear of damaging it.
The stability of this different space caused the Banyan Tree Cave passage to collapse.
But after the team finished exploring, they found nothing, so the superiors gave them a few days off to participate in recreational activities and adjust their mood.
Until there was a new breakthrough yesterday, a different script was found in the Laishang company's den, and Gu Jun confirmed that it was a kind of script.
The team once saw a line of suspected writing on a high wall. At that time, the emergency team paid attention to it, but they couldn't take photos and images, and the spirit of everyone in the team would also be affected. After they came out, they could only recall one thing.
An indescribable vague impression, unable to write that line of prose.
There have been linguists who went in with the team before, not just one, but they all had no clue.
"But as soon as I saw the words written by Laisheng Company on the tree, I remembered that it was this kind of writing! Uncle Dan and the others were also sure. But we still couldn't write out the different lines." Xue Ba
After that, he patted Gu Jun on the shoulder and said, "So this mission is to take you in and see what it means."
Gu Jun understood the situation, and some thoughts immediately came to his mind. Could that different space be the world of different civilizations?
The experiment of the Afterlife...connected the two worlds?
He suddenly had many questions to ask, "Captain Xue, is this the case only here? What about the other banyan trees at the source of the disease?"
"This is the only one, but we suspect that Laisheng Company controls other channels." Xue Ba's square face looked a little solemn, "The operations department didn't arrest anyone in that den yesterday. They already saw a few figures.
I don’t even know where I went in the end.”
"Has the Tianji Bureau encountered situations in different spaces before?" Gu Jun asked again.
"Similar things have happened before. This... must be the first time. This matter is actually under the direct command of the headquarters now."
"Captain Xue, where did those aliens with the ribs on the chest come from?" Gu Jun looked very serious, because this question is very important, "I think they are related to Laisheng Company, which is a definite feeling."
"Oh?"
Gu Jun said quickly: "No, I'm sure it's related! This is one thing. And I suspect that they came from another world through this banyan tree hole." The afterlife should not be able to control that kind of destruction.
They are aliens from the old world, but they have the ability to bring disaster here...
"Okay, I'll go report this situation." Xue Ba naturally understood the seriousness of this possibility and was about to leave.
Gu Jun looked at the huge withered tree, and suddenly had another terrible thought, 16 handprints, 16 people.
If the demon hunter team includes him, isn't it 16 people?
"Captain Xue, wait!" Gu Jun hurriedly stopped Xue Ba, "Have our fingerprints been compared?" His fingerprints had been entered into the database of the Bureau of Secrets during the medical examination.
"Haha, you've thought it through enough." Xue Ba laughed heartily, "I've checked it all, it's okay. Otherwise, we can still be sent in? But there is no guarantee whether we can come out alive every time we go in.
You should seize the time to write a suicide note and prepare it."
Watching Xue Ba walk away, Gu Jun shook his head mockingly, thinking that Yiwen's ability would give him a guarantee of safety, but he didn't expect that it would push him into danger.
At the moment, he went to Uncle Egg for paper and pen, and wrote a short suicide note, mainly to thank Professor Gu, Brother Qiang, Zhu Dao and others for their care, and to express condolences to Cai Zixuan, Wang Ruoxiang and others. If he died, let everyone
After being sad, keep trying.
Then, he pretended to be stimulated by the banyan tree and suffered from a splitting headache and delirium. After shouting and screaming, he gasped to the crowd who gathered nervously: "I suddenly remembered a lot of different texts..." and then said to himself
The five hundred different texts I know so far have all been written to the organization.
One moment and another, in the early morning he hid his secrets for self-protection, and now it was for... those people mentioned in the suicide note.
Gu Jun didn't know if his little thoughts had been discovered by anyone. Anyway, no one said anything about him.
It's just that Xue Ba and the others looked at his newly written variant text, but they still couldn't recall whether there was any trace of the variant text on the high wall in it.
"Your information has attracted the attention of the headquarters." Xue Ba told Gu Jun, "The situation is urgent and we must complete this task quickly."
The demon hunter has previously completed the measurement of the air composition in the alien space. Except that the oxygen content is very low, only 13%-15%, there is no poisonous gas harmful to the human body. However, everyone still has to wear special protective clothing, and the skin is absolutely
Do not have any direct contact with the banyan tree.
Each person also carries a backpack of different items, and the total weight is a precisely measured number.
Because Banyan Tree Cave has a "capacity" limit for foreign matter such as living things and dead objects, things are counted when they are placed inside. Like a cup, it cannot be filled with water when it is full, so it cannot be transported.
Either bring these or those.
"Here's this MP5 for you, hang it on your body."
Before setting off, Xue Ba took a mini submachine gun from the equipment truck and threw it to Gu Jun, "Shooting is very simple. Pull the safety here, load the gun, aim and shoot. This gun is full of bullets. Don't open the safety or take it if you have nothing to do."
If you point the gun at one of our own, and I see you, I will think your S value is too low, and I will kill you first."
"Understood..." Gu Jun could tell that Xue Ba wasn't joking. If he was insane and used Wei Chi against his own people...
The gun was heavy in his hand. This was the first time he had touched a real gun, at least in his known memory.
More than three hours had passed since they arrived at Gurong Village. Finally, under the watch of the people in the command center, the fully equipped demon hunter team and Gu Jun walked towards the big banyan tree.
The smell of the rotting banyan tree was isolated outside by the protective clothing. Gu Jun breathed in the oxygen supplied by the oxygen tank and watched Captain Xue, who was walking at the front of the team, squeeze into the banyan tree hole and disappear into the darkness, and then the next person
Team member, next team member...
"Ajun, follow me." Then Uncle Egg was about to go in, and the words came and went from the radio, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Egg will protect you if anything happens."
"Okay." After Gu Jun watched Uncle Egg disappear in the hole of the big tree, he took steps towards the rotten gray and black hole.
