He raised his head and glanced at the cliff above. Although the fog had faded a lot after passing through the narrow black rock passage, Lin Cheng still couldn't see clearly what was happening above because the light was too dark.
It didn't matter if he couldn't see clearly. He took out the walkie-talkie and called. As Bai Ling's voice came from the walkie-talkie, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "How are you, are you here?"
"They will be out soon, but Vincent and the others are in very bad condition right now. We may have to rest for a while before we can continue our journey."
As the distance between the two of them got closer and closer, the intercom signal was no longer as intermittent as before. When Bai Ling said that he would be coming out soon, Lin Cheng nodded, hung up and waved to Coke.
The ladder quickly climbed up the cliff.
A few minutes later, Lin Cheng returned to the cliff and took a breath. Before Bai Ling and the others came out, he squinted his eyes and scanned the black leaf forest below. Perhaps it was because he had just encountered two groups of native gnawers.
Because of this, no matter how he looked at it now, he felt that this forest was filled with evil spirits, like a sinister hell.
"Why……"
Sighing softly, Lin Cheng sat down against the rock wall, put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, lowered his head and started smoking one after another.
Judging from the intelligence he had just collected, this dark night forest should be the nest of the Gnawers. He wanted to know how those scientists safely passed through this forest and reached the other side. However, due to time constraints, they continued to
After encountering the obstruction of two groups of gnashers, they could only temporarily return to the original route and wait for Bai Ling and his companions to arrive.
"Tap tap tap..."
While he was thinking, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps in the cave behind him. Hearing the footsteps, he quickly interrupted his thoughts and stood up. When he turned around, he saw Bai Ling holding a pale face.
Vincent appeared at the entrance of the cave, followed by Mia and Daisy who were sweating profusely.
"You guys sit down and take a rest first."
After several people walked out of the cave, Bai Ling was not in a hurry to talk to Lin Cheng. Instead, he helped Vincent and Mia Daisy to a flat ground and sat down. After explaining to them, Bai Ling turned his eyes.
Move to Lin Cheng.
The three people who were driven forward by Bai Ling like donkeys along the way were relieved after hearing her words. One by one, they collapsed on the ground and could no longer stand up. The sound of gasping one after another sounded like they were going to die at any time.
It seemed like he was dead, and he didn't even have the energy to say hello to Lin Cheng.
"This passage is really difficult to walk. If I hadn't kept urging them, they probably wouldn't be able to walk halfway through."
Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Bai Ling, who had successfully completed the task, sat down and took two sips of the water bottle from Lin Cheng's hand before saying.
Nodding, Lin Cheng threw away the burned cigarette butt in his hand and said, "It's normal. Coke and I were very tired when we walked over."
"How about it? You and Coke should have gone down just now. Did you find anything?"
Bai Ling was actually quite tired, but this level of fatigue was nothing to an ability user of her level, so after drinking the water in the bottle, she started asking Lin Cheng about her gains.
"Yes, yes..."
Seeing Bai Ling taking the initiative to ask, Lin Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, raised his chin towards the dark forest under the cliff and said, "But it's a pity. According to the situation I just discovered, our group wants to pass through
It’s almost impossible in this forest down there!”
"How to say?"
Hearing this, Bai Ling raised his eyebrows and asked.
"In the forest sleeps gnawers, lots and lots of gnawers!"
Frowning, Lin Cheng said in a deep voice: "The strength of these gnawers is above the fifth level at worst, and there are a lot of them. According to what I just discovered, the smallest batch is about a hundred, more than 100.
A small one can almost exceed a thousand! Maybe there is a relatively safe route in the forest, but I haven’t found it yet, and it’s impossible for just the few of us to find this route in such a vast forest.
It’s too possible…”
"how so?"
After listening to Lin Cheng's statement, Bai Ling's eyebrows also wrinkled. In fact, she was already very shocked when she walked out of the cave and saw the vast black forest below. Now when she heard what Lin Cheng said,
As smart as she was, she quickly figured out everything. This forest was obviously the home of those native gnashers in the sinkholes of the apocalypse!
"Who knows..."
Curling his lips helplessly, Lin Cheng casually lit another cigarette and said while smoking: "So I want to ask you, a great strategist, if you have any solution to this situation?"
Hearing this, Bai Ling frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't gone to see it myself yet, so I can't draw a conclusion yet."
Hearing Bai Ling's answer, Lin Cheng nodded without surprise, "It's okay, I'll go down with you now. Anyway, it will take at least a long time for those three people to recover, so leave Coke here to protect them.
, let’s go down first and thoroughly investigate the situation.”
"That's fine."
Bai Ling originally planned to go down and take a look, but now he immediately nodded in agreement after hearing what Lin Cheng said. He turned around and explained to Vincent and the other three who were lying on the ground with their bodies stretched out. Then, without waiting for their reply, Bai Ling waited for Lin Cheng to finish explaining.
After drinking coke, he followed him down the hanging ladder to the black forest below.
The two people, who cooperated extremely well, only took five minutes to reach the bottom of the valley. They looked up at the black forest in front of them, which was like the entrance to the hell. The two looked at each other in silence, and then walked towards the forest.
go.
Lin Cheng first took Bai Ling to the bush where he first met the gnawers and took a look. Fortunately, these monsters had been sleeping for some reason. Even Lin Cheng's second visit did not disturb them.
Lin Cheng wanted more and more to see if he could pass directly between them.
In the end, it was Bai Ling who suppressed his suicidal thoughts in time. Although the gnawers were in a deep sleep, their snoring was obviously telling them that these monsters could be awakened at any time.
According to Lin Cheng's wishes, the group of people walked quietly through them. Even if they succeeded once or twice, as long as they failed once, what awaited them was the unsolvable situation of being surrounded and suppressed!
If it were someone else who tried to stop Lin Cheng, he would probably not listen to this, but Bai Ling was different. This woman had a keen sense of smell for creatures like gnawers that humans could not match. She said that these monsters were very easy to wake up, so
This means that these monsters are most likely just in a light sleep, and approaching them rashly can easily make the entire team passive.
