Plague Doctor

Twenty-four hours a day, a team of hunters walked and stopped on this spinning stone staircase, took turns sleeping, and then proceeded, slowly approaching the ground position of 5,000 metres.

There are still a lot of military compression cookies, but clean water was consumed 11 hours ago, and people started drinking the water that the medical staff washed their hands before surgery. If these water belts had any irresistible germs, I'm afraid they were already stained.

Lin Mo has been carried away by the team members with stretchers on a rotating basis; Shinning is on his own, but still cannot carry a gun or take other weapons.

The more they climb up, the narrower the surrounding space becomes, leaving less than a metre between the final staircase and the ring stone wall, as if they were caught in the belly of a beast.

And more and more, the whole staircase is shaking, and everyone can even hear the chirping sound of a wooden staircase vibration.

It's not like they're hallucinating, because the dark red lines on the stone stairs and stone walls are getting smaller and smaller, but there are more cracks like spider silk. Obviously, the more vitality there is, the more it seems to collapse at any moment.

Even death will perish in the strange ancient times. Gu Jun remembers the words of the Arab lunatics, who are dying, disappearing and extinguishing.

By the time it was hundreds of meters from the ground, the atmosphere of the team had been very low, because everyone's strength and spirit had been damaged to a certain degree, the scalp was tight, the bones were sore all over the body, the mouth was dry due to lack of water, and the lips had a layer of dry skin chips.

And at the foot of this goddamn spinning staircase, it's not over yet.

This physiological state breeds unrest, even stronger will, and is constantly eroded by it.

The Hunter Squad is a mobile contingent of the Eastern State Branch, but it is the first time that such an abnormal space has been experienced, making it difficult.

The higher you go, the smaller you get.

At this time, there was another chilly situation. Xue Bao looked at it with a night-vision telescope. There was a roof above it, blocking the way to go, but...

“Ah-jun, look.” Xue Ba took a look and gave the binoculars to Gu Jun next door first.

Gu Jun took over the telescope and looked at it. At the end of the spinning stone staircase was a small platform. There was no way up. Less than a meter above the platform was the top surface. It was also a stone wall. However, in the middle of the top surface, that is, directly above the platform, there was a clearly different object like a thick stone plate.

The bottom of that tablet is full of strange lines, it looks artificially engraved, which is the shape of all kinds of flowers...

Gu Jun suddenly remembered Sal City, Peiani's hometown of "Flower Town”. The tablet should have the view of Sal City on it.

It's just that the more he looks at it, the more his mind floats, the more tired his head is feeling the illusion... is there any illusion here that can trigger it?

But after a little while, that feeling didn't form either, only aggravated the confusion of the mind.

There is no alien text, no lock, or other device on the bottom of the slab, but there are very small stone seams on all sides of the edge that connect it to the top surface, which seems to be the design that can lift it off the ground and into the staircase; from here, it may be pushed up as well.

“Team Xue, I didn't find anything special.” Gu Jun returned the binoculars to Xue Ba, "but I felt that was the exit. ”

Sheba nodded and let the rest of the team see it.

Soon, everyone understood what was going on. If we were to get out, we'd have to break the barrier. Can we blow it up with a C-4 or a mini-missile?

“Can't blow it up.” Lin Mo objected as soon as he heard, he was feeling much better now, and there were no symptoms of residual parasites, "the tablet was too close to the stairs! Even if the controls are more accurate, the shock waves will affect the stairs, and the gravel will crush down, and if this staircase collapses like that, we will fall thousands of meters. ”

“I don't think so either.” Gu Jun also shook his head this time because he could feel the fragility of the surrounding stones, worse than the ruined dead trees.

“Check it out first.” Sheba arrived one step below the end platform with a commando team and was already within reach of that tablet.

Here, it is true that the shaking sensation is stronger, and the cracks in the stone are even bigger, but the outside light is still interrupted...

They first penetrated the platform space with a barrel of guns, pushed up the stone plate above the top, did not move, then put the stone plate to the left top, to the right top, all tried, the motion to the left top was particularly large, it seems that only to the left can top.

“Let's push it with our hands.” Sheba said that this situation can be pushed harder by hand.

Now the team has almost nothing but guns, ammunition, water and food, medical tools, etc., and pushing them with their hands is the most primitive and practical.

The commando team left two men on alert, Sheba and five others facing to the left of the platform, raised their hands and pressed on the bottom of the tablet, "Three, two, one, push! ”

They pushed hard at the same time. The faces of the five big men were all suffocating and blushing. "Ah...”

The right-hand side of the slab was raised some, and the outside light immediately came down from the raised gap, however, they persisted for more than 20 seconds and had to loosen up helplessly. The slab suddenly fell back into place and made a terrible "bang”, and the fractures in the surrounding stone walls were even bigger...

Several big men gasped, but Xue Ba was excited to encourage people: “There is light on it! This is the exit!” Even when you have plenty of energy, you can't push it, let alone get tired.

Once pushed, Sheba understood that pushing them purely wasting their strength, and now their strength at every point is invaluable, water is gone, strength will only continue to decline over time.

Xue Ba asked everyone to stop and ask Gu Jun to come up and take a closer look.

But Gu Jun can't do anything but have a feeling of anxiety.

Xue Ba had to let everyone up. "We just pushed away a little bit, there was light! With enough power, you can turn the tablet up to the left! Together, let's try it once, to make it strong, to succeed once and for all. ”

The crowd had no problem. At the moment, they all bent over and sat on the platform. Xue Ba's head was going to hit the tablet.

To gather the greatest strength, even the missing leg of Lim Mo sat in.

'Cause maybe it's just his little power that makes them fail, and they probably won't have the strength a second time.

Everyone sat in a crowded position, all facing to the left, with their hands raised and pressed against the bottom of the tablet, ready to push together...

But all of a sudden, Gu Jun had a creepy thought. The 16 different fingerprints on the banyan tree, 16 people.

Those fingerprints are weird in shape and seem to be struggling... pressing this uneven pattern on the tablet is what made their fingerprints weird...

It seemed that he would be here, either alone or in a team, no matter what.

This idea not only appeared in Gu Jun's heart, but also in Uncle Egg, Lin Mo, Yang Henan and others, eyebrows wrinkled.

“Forget it!” Sheba had long noticed, because he had this horrible idea, yelling: “Whether you're thinking or not, it's just an enemy trick. Once we're not dead down here, the enemy uses this to seduce us. Don't even think about it. Get ready to push! ”

Don't leave time for people to think, because panic emotions can make your body soft and powerful.

“Three, two, one!” Sheba screams, his muscles blow up, "push! ”

Fiercely, all sixteen of the squadrons burst into the greatest force they could, either biting their teeth or growling, pushing the tablet with their hands!

This made their faces a little twisted, a pair of eyes widened, and the gauze on Shinning's unhealed right orbit was red with blood, and the gray light came out again. Those arms that pushed the tablet were already shaking...

Of course, Gu Jun pushed, but the visions that had appeared before suddenly became strong.

Some blurry shadows are no longer dead and crazily gushing in front of him.
