404 No City Found

The boundless black, as if only you are left in the world, the surroundings are quiet and silent, all senses are dulled, and the vision slows down and slows down.

The voice next to Kang Tu's ear dropped little by little, and during the whole process of falling, he actually didn't think about anything in his head.I can't think of anything at this time.

It's been so long, how deep is this, why is it not over yet?

With a sound of "clang", he landed on the ground with his back on the ground, and suddenly felt as if his internal organs had exploded, but then bounced up again, bounced up and down several times, and finally stopped.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Kang Tu opened his mouth wide, gasping for breath, tears streaming down his face unconsciously, still tightly holding the snake's head in his hand.

Then, he saw that Zhao Zheng also fell down, his body was covered with snakes, and he was still pulling down in mid-air.When he fell hard, the air cushion under him shook to the ground, and the aftermath caused Kang Tu to bounce up again.

He clearly heard Zhao Zheng grunting in pain and swearing.

It's strange that he can be cranky too.Kang Tu was still lying motionless on the ground, such thoughts flashed through his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's just that he can't control his body for a while, and he just wants to lie like this, whatever he likes.

The air cushion under his feet was up and down, Zhao Zheng walked over to him, clutching his chest, and looked down at him: "How is it?"

Kang Tu didn't speak, like a doll that had completely lost all functions.

Zhao Zheng even laughed, and knelt down to help him remove the snake wrapped around his arm, but he couldn't pull it away. Kang Tu held it tightly, and he almost lifted Kang Tu up without removing it.

When I saw the snake again, it was completely motionless.

Zhao Zheng let go: "You're a pretty strong kid."

There was some movement above, the sound of something piercing the air, Zhao Zheng lay down immediately without saying a word, only to see Li Xin slammed down heavily, causing them to bounce up and down several times.

Li Xin snorted and was stunned by the pain for a moment, then turned over and jumped up, picked up the long knife thrown aside by Zhao Zheng, and dealt with the snake wrapped around him.

Zhao Zheng patted Kang Tu's face and said, "I've returned to my soul, I've returned to my soul."

Li Xin came over, looked down, and suddenly punched Kang Tu in the chest.

Zhao Zheng froze for a moment, then looked up at him.

Li Xin explained: "He was scared."

No one could see that he was frightened. Zhao Zheng had nothing to say. He fell so hard just now, and was punched hard again. What if he was beaten to death?

Kang Tu took a sharp breath, and then started coughing frantically.His face flushed instantly, and his limbs and five senses finally began to wake up slowly.

At this time, Li Xin also realized that he was reckless just now, and said in a low voice: "During the battle, soldiers are often scared out of their wits, and if they don't come up in one breath, we just beat them."

Kang Tu's face finally turned red, and he struggled to sit up: "Thank you, Brother Li."

Zhao Zheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Can you still hear us talking?"

Kang Tu was a little embarrassed: "I can hear it, and I can always come."

He still couldn't use his head, and heard Zhao Zheng say to him: "Throw away the snake? Are you feeling emotional?"

Kang Tu: "..."

Only then did he realize that the snake was dead. He actually crushed the snake to death. He didn't feel any excitement. He felt disgusted and threw it away.

Zhao Zheng patted him: "You did a good job."

They were also alive after the catastrophe, and Kang Tu's intelligence slowly came back, asking: "Where are we?"

"Underground." Zhao Zheng explained from the very beginning.

Kang Tu: "...No, I mean where did we fall?"

"It's not clear," Zhao Zheng said, "but there should be something here."

He looked around, but he could only see darkness. He looked back at Kang Tu and said, "Maybe the road above can't reach the end at all, and this is where we are going."

Kang Tu looked at him silently for a while, not knowing how he came to such a conclusion.Based on his understanding of Zhao Zheng, in a sense, the "possible" in Zhao Zheng's mouth can generally be equivalent to "it's true, don't doubt it."

Zhao Zheng looked up. The iron chain was too thin and the environment was too dark. They could no longer see where it fell.

"In fact, I had such an idea from the beginning," he said while pointing upward, "This task is too difficult."

Kang Tu recalled Ah Jiu's emotions just now, and said, "Indeed, we have been in danger from the very beginning."

"That's not what I mean." Zhao Zheng patted the dirt behind him and stood up, stretching out his hand to pull him up. "We don't know what happened on Fuhuo Road, and we can't easily determine it. Only this road is our road." We can’t get through what we can really see. Even if there are no snakes, we can’t get through.”

Since he knew he couldn't make it from the beginning, why did he try?Kang Tu didn't know what he meant for a moment, so he could only look at him and continue talking.

"But what's the point? What's the point of creating such a huge project, but making it impossible for us to pass it?" Zhao Zheng asked him with a smile.

"Perhaps... people like General Li Xin can pass." Kang Tu tentatively said.

"I can't make it through." Li Xin said flatly.

The reason why he took risks with Zhao Zheng was because he had made the determination to die.

Zhao Zheng said very relaxedly: "So I wanted to try it. Maybe there would be some traps on the way, but before the traps came, a bunch of snakes came. I was sure at the time that they didn't want us to go there at all."

He carries a natural air of self-confidence.Maybe he himself is aware of it, so he always suppresses it deliberately, but nature is difficult to remove, and it always shows up inadvertently, just like this time.

In fact, this kind of temperament is very charming, so that even in such a situation, he has no sense of pride and greasiness. He is like a confident man, saying what should be done.

"Snakes are not poisonous, they are not giant pythons, and they can't kill people even if they are entangled. The purpose is not to kill us. It just wants to bring us down."

Kang Tu still couldn't believe it: "If you guessed wrong, you would have fallen to your death here now."

This is not a question of courage, it is not a matter of life.

"I don't think there is such a possibility." Zhao Zheng paused for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Who do you think is an undercover agent?"

Kang Tu shook his head blankly.

"Let's talk as we go." Zhao Zheng took out two light sticks from his bag, tapped them lightly, and threw one to him. "Take off your clothes and put them on, it will be very cold."

Li Xin carried his big sword, like a silent soldier, followed behind them.

The space below was huge, and the air cushion covered the entire floor. They walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow for nearly half an hour before they came out.

During this period, Zhao Zheng asked straight to the point: "Aren't you an undercover agent?"

One sentence almost frightened Kang Tu to death, and he spoke so fast that he almost bit his tongue: "No, no, really no."

"I guess so," Zhao Zheng smiled, "Make sure."

Kang Tu asked: "Are you? You don't have to say it's inconvenient."

Zhao Zheng patted him on the head. He was not very stable standing on the air cushion, so he patted him somersault and fell forward. As for being so desperate."

Kang Tu didn't have any psychological burden anymore, and said bluntly: "If it was you, you would have to search for clues desperately, and destroy them if you find them. So I didn't want to follow just now, for fear that if you were that, it would delay your action. "

After all, he was incomparable with Li Xin, and Li Xin was on Zhao Zheng's side no matter what.

But Zhao Zheng asked back: "Then have you ever thought about it? There is another way, which is to let everyone not look for it, and no one will get the clue."

Having said this, Kang Tu probably understood what Zhao Zheng meant.

Who can influence everyone's decision here, only Liu Miao.No one can but him.

Zhao Zheng first started with the closest one and what happened at the end: "Everyone doesn't want to cross this road, do you remember who said it was absolutely impossible to cross this road?"

Kang Tu swallowed, "Liu Miao."

"It's him," Zhao Zheng nodded affirmatively, "He has rich experience, and he is like a general leading troops in the team. If he says it's impossible, the morale of the soldiers will definitely drop."

Kang Tu recalled that it seemed that it was indeed from the time when he said one after another, "I can't get through it at all", "Even if I get through it, I can't find anything", and gradually he really didn't want to take this risk.

Zhao Zheng continued: "Haven't you ever wondered why he suddenly left with us?"

"He said it was because there was no key here."

"It's right not to have a key," Zhao Zheng smiled meaningfully, "If there is no key and the road is dangerous, what will happen?"

Kang Tu suddenly realized, and clapped his hands: "Clue!"

"It's easiest to deceive people by telling the truth and lies," Zhao Zheng said in a calm tone. "He knows that Yan Lingfei and I must have studied the Book of Changes and some gossip, so when we analyze the location of the key, what we say is the same. It’s true, but it’s hidden in the clues.”

They have all learned the gossip of the Book of Changes, that is to say, they all know some of the auspicious signs in the ancient tombs.But no one said it, and Kang Tu never noticed it.

Looking at his expression, Zhao Zheng probably knew what he was thinking, and explained: "When you don't know the situation, ignorance is a very good protective color. As for Liu Miao, the reason why he showed his edge is because everyone knows his ability. Clearly, there is no way to hide it, and on the other hand, he needs to stand under the eyes of everyone to protect himself."

Kang Tu suddenly thought of something and said, "He has a map in his hand."

"Yes," Zhao Zheng said, "he knows what's down this road."

"Then why didn't you stop us?"

Zhao Zheng smiled happily: "What are you thinking in your head, didn't he stop you?"

Blocked, every word he said was blocked.Liu Miao couldn't make it too obvious, he was already desperately hinting not to go there.

"And I guess he doesn't know what's on the other side. I said that I was ordered by the emperor and I won't fall. Maybe he really believed it. He thought that after we passed, we found nothing and came back."

"We always knew that the undercover had a map in his hand, but I guess this map is not as comprehensive as we imagined. Most of it just marked the location of the trap. Like the other side of this iron chain, this kind of place that can't be reached at all may not be marked at all, so He's also clueless."

Kang Tu looked at him and said, "But now that we've fallen, he knows we can get the clue."

"I won't be very scared, it's just a clue, and I can't put him to death."

Thinking about it with such preconceived impressions, Kang Tu also slowly realized that it seemed that Liu Miao did have many doubts.When he first came in, he reminded that there was an oil lamp, and then the trap was triggered as soon as the words fell. If someone else did it, it would really need a strong coincidence.How can he just walk to a place where there are organs when he speaks.

It's even more terrifying when crossing Fuhuo Road. If Liu Miao knew what the trap was from the beginning, and then deliberately said the wrong thing to trigger it, it would be too easy, and it would be a sub-question.

Zhao Zheng was in a good mood, and said to him, "The first reason I suspected him was because of the three hours we were delayed on Fuhuo Road."

"This trap is very weak. The hallucinogenic drug that is triggered slowly can only take effect when the last group of us pass through, but the people in front can still find the mission point. This trap is useless at all."

Kang Tu said: "At that time, he decided how many people would leave at one time. He could definitely say to leave a little less at a time, and leave more people in the end."

"No," Zhao Zheng shook his head, put the clothes tied on his hands that he took off on his shoulders, and said casually, "This is also meaningless. As long as someone passes by, there is a chance to find the mission point. There is no difference between a person and a group of people." .”

"He has accurately calculated how many people pass at one time, and it happened to trigger the trap at the last time. His purpose is not to stop us, but to stop himself."

Kang Tu said "Fuck me" in his heart, and suddenly understood everything: "Without him, no one can find the mission point!"

"That's why I said he might not have all the maps." Zhao Zhengchong gave him a thumbs up to show his cleverness, "The roads coming in are all smooth, which may make him feel that the road ahead will be difficult, and everyone will get lost without his guidance. So He has to have a reasonable reason to keep himself in Fuhuo Road."
