This is not the first time Russell has entered a mine, but it is the first time he has gone so deep underground.
Along the way, he followed Hooknose closely. The latter was the leader of the team and his life was the most valuable. It was safer to follow him.
As the 19-man team continued to go deeper, the wires and lights above their heads had reached their end. The mine tunnel was pitch dark, and they could only rely on the mining lamps on their helmets for illumination.
Russell remembered that the miner leader Leon warned that the mine tunnel without wires was very dangerous. Once lost here, it would be difficult to get out alive, even for experienced old miners.
Because when people are in total darkness, their sense of direction will be lost. You may think you are walking in a straight line, but you are actually spinning in circles.
"Captain, we didn't bring a guide..." Russell discovered a terrible situation. There wasn't even an old miner in the team. This was too bold.
"There's no need to worry about it. I won't make fun of my own life. You have to believe in your companions. They are not ordinary people." The hook-nosed man was one step behind and pointed at a soldier leading the way: "Because you are not an official member yet.
Without signing a confidentiality agreement, I can only tell you so much. His code name is 'Map', and we will never get lost with him here."
The code name is related to the ability. Russell thought for a while and guessed the ability of the 'map'. Without adding 'cannon' after the two words 'map', it can be speculated that the opponent lacks attack power. Even so, it is a very practical auxiliary ability and is an important part of the team execution
An indispensable member for special tasks.
Then what should my code name be...
Variety of monsters?
Thousand-faced man?
After continuing to walk for five minutes, about five minutes, Russell silently counted about three hundred times in his mind, and the team arrived at the mission destination.
This is the end of a mine tunnel. There are obvious traces of man-made excavation. 50 meters back is another mine tunnel extending out. 'Map' did not choose that one, but stopped before the dead end and hit the hook nose.
A gesture that completes the task.
This is the mine tunnel where Leon discovered the gold mine. It was later confirmed that he had no farts... It can't be said that farts contain methane, which happens to be the most indispensable thing in the mine.
A soldier of medium height walked out of the team. He put his ear against the wall of the mine and raised his hand to listen. Russell didn't need to explain with his hooked nose that the ability of the man in front of him was also supportive.
"He is the 'radar', the ear of the team, probably the person with the best hearing in the world..." The hooked nose was wearing a respirator, and his voice was very dull.
Five minutes later, the 'radar' shrugged, solid walls, no hidden mechanisms, this was indeed a dead end.
The search work reached a deadlock, and Hook Nose found out depressingly that the truth was not as simple as he thought. He firmly believed that his reasoning was correct. There must be some unknown secrets in this mine tunnel, so he asked everyone to search separately. In order to prevent triggering the entrance and exit
, you must ensure that there is a teammate in sight.
Russell followed Hooknose and looked around with the help of the mining lamp on his helmet, and finally his sight stopped at a rock crack at the top of the mine tunnel.
Judging from the traces, this crack was produced during the excavation of the mine tunnel!
Hooked Nose followed the light and saw the gap in the rock wall. He didn't see any movement, and the team members quickly gathered over. They set up a 'radar' and asked him to listen to see if there was a hollow on the other side of the rock wall. The result was still nothing.
No.
Russell looked at the crack with a solemn expression, and his sixth sense told him that the truth about the spider was here, but they didn't find the correct way to open the door.
In the team, another soldier came out. He took out a dagger and cut his palm, then put it against the crack.
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, a strange scene appeared. Red blood spread on the wall, splitting into threads like a living thing, and then swam out into complex lines.
Finally, a blood-red six-pointed star array emerged, a faint light spread out, and the blood was evaporated. Only the corner cut off by the crack remained fresh in color.
"He is a 'dessert'. His blood can activate many supernatural powers and is an irresistible delicacy for many monsters..."
The hook-nosed tone was a little harsh. Judging from his experience with supernatural phenomena, this was a sealed place buried deep underground. The damaged six-pointed star meant that the seal was out of effect or was in the process of failing.
Russell also saw that this was a seal. He had never been exposed to powers such as magic, but he lived in the era of the information explosion and had read a lot of film and television works, novels, and animations on related themes.
The question is, who broke the seal?
The first thing Russell thought of was the miner Leon. The spider appeared just after he claimed to have discovered the gold mine. It is not that Leon was the mastermind behind it, but there was an 80% possibility that this guy broke the seal while digging here.
corner of.
The garbage seal is not strong at all!
Russell silently complained that the moon is not always round like foreign countries. If this were in China... well, there would be many evil spirits and old demons running out of the seal.
What was the idea of the big boss who sealed the demon back then? It would be better to just kill him. He must leave a tail to deceive future generations.
Once something involves occultism, it will become very unreasonable. Hooknose began to think about retreating and letting professionals handle it. His team was able to defeat mutant creatures, but they were blind when dealing with ghosts.
However, just when Hawk Nose ordered to return the same way, the ground suddenly rumbled and shook. Not only the ground, but also the entire mine tunnel trembled.
The gravel fell, and everyone leaned against the mine wall and did not dare to move, praying that the mine would not collapse.
Russell held on to the wall. Although he had no sense of direction and couldn't find east, west, north, or south, he still felt that the mine tunnel he was in was moving. It was like a corner of a turntable spinning to another place.
squeak squeak ————
The vibration stopped, and the end of the previously empty mine tunnel was covered by a bright golden light.
It's a gold mine!
The breathing of several soldiers became serious, and greed caused them to take steps involuntarily. The hooked nose snorted coldly, and the soldiers froze and retreated to their original positions.
Next to the gold mine, a straight and dead road appeared. It was also dug out, but instead of a person, it was a giant spider.
A faint source of light appeared from the end of the road. The hooked nose glanced at the 'map', which nodded and led the way. A teammate beside him pulled out a dogleg knife and looked like a combatant.
The road was not long and was dug upwards in the form of a slope. The team reached the exit in less than thirty seconds.
It suddenly dawned on me that this was a huge cave-like space with all kinds of strange stalagmites connected up and down to form strange stone pillars. The walls emitted a single fluorescent light, illuminating the square-like cave, which was more than thirty meters high.
.
Everyone did not miss the beautiful scenery. They were immediately attracted by the bones all over the ground.
Human skeletons, due to their age, are dark in color and stacked in layers, making it impossible to count. The bones on the bottom layer have fused with the ground, and the bones stacked on top have become very fragile, and each skull is
The empty eye holes in the upper part of the body make one’s scalp numb.
"What happened here back then?"
The hook-nosed face was very handsome. The history of American imperialism can only be traced back about 200 years, and the time spent piling up corpses definitely exceeds this number.
"Look for any clues nearby, and let's leave here as soon as possible." Hook Nose felt an inexplicable boredom, which made him a little uneasy, but after coming here, there must be something to gain.
The team members scattered in twos and twos, stepping on the bones and making crackling sounds. After a while, an incredible exclamation came from the center.
"Boss, you'd better come and take a look at this..."
The hook-nosed man strode over, Russell followed behind, and many team members also leaned over. After seeing clearly, they all looked at each other.
From the pile of corrupted bones, a white arm was exposed, with slender fingers stretching straight up to the sky, as if it was trying to hold something.
Ying Gou swallowed his saliva. He didn't know how many years it had existed here, but it was long enough to corrupt everything. What happened to this fresh arm...
Is there any other way to get in?
Facing the questioning looks of the team members, Hook Nose made a difficult decision: "Dig it out..."
The team members used their hands and feet to remove the skeleton, revealing the true appearance of the owner of this arm.
The corpse of a white female, with her lower body buried in a pile of bones, her upper body uncovered, her facial features neat, her appearance pure, and her body very attractive. She was in her mid-twenties, but could not be more than thirty years old.
In the place where the bones were piled up, there was a beautiful female corpse buried, which made Russell feel horrified. Compared to the rotten bones, this female corpse gave him a more terrifying feeling, as if...
May come back alive at any time...
