Plague Doctor
Chapter 85: Black Wind
This boulder steppe is not dilapidated or wet, it seems to be very old but clean and not even dusty.
This is exactly what makes a team of hunters feel weird, and this shouldn't be the case with dusty underground stairways.
Too clean, too quiet.
The first few team members walked 90 steps and parked on the 100th step of this entrance. Xue Ba made a report wondering if they could send it out: “Command center, we reached the 100th step, or nothing. ”
One hundred steps, no change! The angles and proportions of all the stone steps are consistent, as if there were still no gaps in the heavenly stone walls.
If the light at the entrance had not disappeared, if sixteen people had testified together, and if someone had counted the steps specifically, it would have left people in a trance to think they were stepping in place.
“It's really incredible...” said Lin Mo, lying on the stretcher. He is the leader of scientific research in the team. Even those who do not understand geology and architecture understand that building such tunnels is difficult to achieve even with modern machinery.
What is this tunnel and the high wall, exactly?
Several highlight flashlights illuminate the surrounding area but do not shine through the darkness below.
Is this an endless tunnel?
Everyone was silent at this time. Xue Ba acutely perceived this rising repression. After the report, he said: "Uncle Egg, tell me a story. Is there anything? ”
Sheba knows what “this is nothing but tunnels, don't be afraid” is nonsense, but the paragraph can alleviate the dull atmosphere.
“Yes!” Uncle Egg naturally would like to make a vague appearance with the angry round face. The remaining hairs on the top of his head are all like erections. "Let me tell you about the time I met my girlfriend, the real thing...”
Soon people laughed lightly, but Gu Jun was not listening. He kept walking in the middle of the team with the stretcher in front of him. His mind gradually became attracted to the dark red fine lines on the surrounding boulder surface, and more and more he felt blood flowing in it.
Vitality, he feels a strong life force.
Is it the illusion that you're moving? Gu Jun asked Zhang Fire Guy behind the stretcher to stop together and look around him. The feeling was clearly getting heavy...
All of a sudden, it seemed like something was brushing his face, and every tiny pore was creeping.
“Wind...” Gu Junlan, “Wind... Wind!” He hurried a little louder, "Captain Xue, the wind is blowing. ”
The wind? Everyone looked at it in shock, but didn't feel it. Even Lin Mo, Uncle Egg and Zhang Fire Guy next to Gu Jun said they didn't notice.
Teammates with small air detectors over there also shook their heads and the data remained unchanged, still confusing and stable. The further underground, the lower the oxygen should be.
But Xue Ba dared not take it lightly, frowning on her face. What does this inspiration for Gu Jun mean?
Uncle Egg has another consideration as a team doctor. Is Gu Jun hallucinating? The S-value status of each person cannot be seen from the outside...
“It's breathing...” Gu Jun is still mocking his feelings, "it's this tunnel breathing, we woke it up. ”
“Hmm?“ “Exhale?” Everyone looked at each other. After two days of getting along, everyone had already made a lot of jokes about each other. “Kid, aren't you a good doctor?" said Shinnington downstairs. ”
“No, there really is wind...” Gu Jun's heart rate suddenly accelerated, just because he clearly felt the breath and even heartbeat of the surrounding stones.
And he felt the wind, and he said, “Let's get out of the way, it's windy! ”
“Listen to Joon!” Though confused, Sheba shouted immediately, "Grabbing each other's hands, sitting against the wall! Arjun, the fireman, you put the stretcher on the back, grab the stretcher, and the people on both sides grab it. ”
All members of the team immediately took action and hid with Gu Jun to the left hand side of the staircase. They sat down and formed a wall against the wall. Only Gu Jun and Zhang Fire Guy, two young and powerful guys, grabbed the stretcher with their hands and blocked it in front.
After more than a decade of silence, their hearts are tightening and their breathing becomes heavy as an unknown nightmare unfolds.
All of a sudden, the pores of every team member can feel it, the wind... the wind blows from deep into the tunnel.
Almost at the same time, the raging wind burst into a whistle, suddenly completely submerged them, huge wind blow the team's things to 708, and almost lift them up. Hulong's wind seemed to be mixed with some mysterious whispers, just sweeping past their ears, crying, howling, spells...
“Hang in there!” Xue Bao shouted violently, yelling all over his muscles. “Don't let go, don't listen to that sound! ”
Apart from Lim Mo, who was tied to a stretcher, everyone had already made every effort to sit back and not pay attention to that weird and crazy noise.
But they saw that the storm had colors, dark colors...
Wind is the flow of air, the human eye should not see color, those black are not air, they are a large number of other substances mixed in the wind.
A shock rises in their minds, which is direct skin contact, and they suck those substances directly into their bodies.
“Forget it, hang on!” Sheba shouted again, but his voice seemed so faint in the wind, like a mist that would dissipate at any moment.
Meanwhile, Gu Jun's head began to ache, as if there were countless unnameable images pouring into his mind...
Weird, frenzied, scary... this feeling only happened that day at the bottom of the Longkan Sea, when he witnessed that half-human high peak rock...
“Ah..." Gu Jun couldn't help but make a painful scream. The headache was like an explosion. Then he looked at the surrounding walls. Those dark red lines were clearly flowing, even changing, forming various lines and patterns, like the mysterious carvings on the spike.
It's a power, a power of life...
He saw in the wind, countless shadows.
Gu Jun's abnormality did not attract much attention from others, because at this moment, he was not the only one shouting, Lu Xianning sounded like a troubled animal. Xue Ba was still shouting for support, they made strength and will.
However, the wind did not end in a while, and half an hour later, it was still whistling, and an hour later, it was still growling.
By that time, even the biggest and most physically powerful Xue Ba had been nearly destroyed by the wind, and the dull voice had stopped screaming. And Uncle Egg, Zhang Fire Guy and other people just hold on to one breath. Once this breath leaves, you can only let the wind take it away...
Gray emotions crept into the hearts and minds of people who were so small in front of extraordinary forces.
Suddenly, Xue Ba saw, Uncle Egg saw, Lu Xianning also saw... Gu Jun loosened his hands on the stretcher and stood rocking.
Everyone saw with surprise and confusion that Gu Jun had not fallen even though he was shaking...
In the wind, he walked in the middle of his steps, staring deep into the tunnel and sending out a strange language.
