Halfway down, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a shock in his waist. He reached out and found that it was Bai Ling calling him on the intercom.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have not communicated with Bai Ling for a while, so he quickly signaled Coke to stop, while he was half hanging on the ladder with a walkie-talkie to listen carefully to what Bai Ling was saying.
"Reply...listen...answer..."
"...How is the situation? Is there any danger?"
Listening to the intermittent signal, Lin Cheng frowned and looked up, only to realize that he and Coke had traveled nearly a hundred meters. Although the distance was not that far, for some reason the signal
But it has become so bad.
Worried that he might no longer be able to receive the signal if he went further down, Lin Cheng pressed the call button and said, "Bai Ling, Bai Ling, can you hear me?"
Half a second later, Bai Ling's response came quickly from the intercom, "...Here, received! How is the situation over there now? Is there...?"
Although the signal over there was very poor, Lin Cheng still understood what the other party meant, so he quickly replied: "There is no danger here for the time being. You should set off to enter the cave immediately. After passing through the cave, you will be on the cliff above.
Wait for us, we will go back to meet you immediately after investigating the situation below, do you understand me?"
"Understood!"
Bai Ling seemed to realize that the signals on both sides were not stable at this time, so the response this time was extremely brief. After he understood the answer, he hung up directly. It seemed that he had already started organizing Vincent and the others to go into the cave.
Considering that it took him and Coke almost two hours to get through the cave, Lin Cheng estimated that the group of people would need at least twice as much time to get through, so he was not in a hurry and said hello to Coke.
One person and one dog continued to climb down the hanging ladder.
Ten minutes later, with a soft "bang" sound, Lin Cheng jumped down from the hanging ladder and landed steadily in the basin.
Looking up and looking around, Lin Cheng found that the trees in this forest looked a little weird. From the trunk to the branches to the leaves, they were all dark, as if the entire forest had been splashed with black paint.
The ground was covered with thick black fallen leaves. Lin Cheng picked up one and looked at it. He found that except for the strange color, the smell and feel of these black fallen leaves were not much different from ordinary leaves. He felt a little relieved.
I feel a little relieved, because this at least proves that the trees in this black forest are no different from the trees outside except for their color.
However, just in case, Lin Cheng cut off a black tree and carefully inspected the internal structure of these trees. After discovering that the inside of the trees were exactly the same as ordinary trees, he was completely relieved and slowly walked deeper into the forest with Coca-Cola.
Explore.
"rustle……"
In the thick deciduous forest, the footsteps of Lin Cheng and Ke Ke were a little abrupt. Although they tried their best to control it, they were unable to truly silence the sound in this deathly black forest.
Slowly exploring forward for a few hundred meters, Lin Cheng found that as they went deeper, the trees in front became denser. Before, the distance between the trees at the entrance of the forest was still two or three meters, but now they are
It became less than one meter, and he was worried that if he continued walking like this, he would be in an embarrassing situation with nowhere to go.
Fortunately, as they continued to move forward, this worry soon disappeared. The trees in front did not continue to gather after becoming about half a meter apart, but followed this seemingly very orderly pattern.
The growth pattern is neatly arranged, and it does not look like a naturally formed forest at all, but rather like an artificial planting.
Being in such a ghostly place, Lin Cheng did not dare to make random guesses about any phenomenon he saw. Anyway, no matter where this forest came from, he would continue to explore. After all, he has not found anything until now.
See the rune stone door in Mia's mouth.
Not only that, Lin Cheng and Cola walked in this dark forest for nearly half an hour, but they did not find any trace of human activity. He did not think that no one had ever been here. After all, sinkholes in the apocalypse were causing trouble all over the world.
The movement was so great that anyone who was not blind would not have been able to miss such a conspicuous underground basin and the black forest growing in it.
Lin Cheng had actually discovered a problem a long time ago, that is, as they went deeper and deeper into the sinkhole, the traces of human activities inside became less and less. After here, the traces of human activities had completely disappeared, and there was no trace of them.
We don’t know whether it was removed by the scientists themselves or by some thoughtful people.
Lin Cheng personally is more inclined to believe the latter, because according to Vincent's description, the scientists who have come here for scientific research are all like madmen. Their minds are full of research and research, and how can they have the mind to clean up those things?
Useless traces, only those with alien intentions will intentionally clean up these traces. The purpose is most likely to prevent latecomers from discovering anything.
Those who were beaten to death probably never imagined that today, nearly two years after the end of the world, a strange man like Lin Cheng would return here with a group of people. Even though no useful clues were found, he finally succeeded with his rich experience.
We have arrived at the black forest in this underground basin and are still exploring forward.
"Wow"
Lin Cheng, who had been walking through the dark forest for nearly an hour, opened the bushes blocking his eyes and raised his head out of habit. He was about to continue exploring the path forward, but his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the scene behind the bushes.
!
Looking around, on a very open grassland behind the bushes, nearly a hundred native gnawers were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. The sound of their breathing one after another sounded like a demon to Lin Cheng's ears.
The sound filled his ears, making him dare not take a breath.
Coke, who had always been extremely stubborn, also closed his mouth extremely tightly at this time. His strength had reached the level of him and Lin Cheng. At such a close distance, it was easy to feel the energy emanating from these native gnawers.
That extremely powerful strength, and the shocking momentum created by the gathering of a hundred gnashers, even Lin Cheng could not feel it so clearly on the ice dragon back then!
As a result, the two brothers, who had always killed predators like mowing grass, were like two antelopes seeing a dinosaur. After looking at each other, they silently released their hands from the bushes and tiptoed back.
