Knight pressed the red up button, and the elevator door slowly closed.Charlie shrank in the corner, not daring to get close to the horrible corpse, praying that the elevator would rise to the ground quickly and take them out of this place.
The elevator shook violently like a feverish patient, but the LCD screen showed that it was going to the second basement floor.
Charlie swallowed his saliva, his throat was still dry: "How did it get down?"
"It should be because of the restart of the power supply," Knight stood at the door, and said flatly, "The elevator will continue to operate before the power failure, and then resume normal work."
Charlie nodded nervously.After a while, the elevator stopped and the door opened with a ding.The pupils of the two constricted almost at the same time, and they held their breath.
The straight corridor outside the door was brightly lit, but the two of them seemed to have fallen into hell, stiff and unable to move.The second basement floor seems to be a lair of evil spirits. On the ground, on the walls, and even on the ceiling, there are creatures that look like ghosts and are covered in black and black. Their bodies are filled with black smoke, and they still drag their slender tails behind them.
These ghosts with deformed heads were just wandering around lazily. When the elevator opened, they all looked at the two uninvited guests, and their shattered pupils shone with a flowing luster under the fluorescent lamp.
A few dangling tails began to trot towards the elevator, and Knight desperately pressed the up button. The moment a certain evil spirit was about to rush in, the elevator door finally closed.
The elevator began to rise slowly, and Charlie couldn't speak a word as if there was an egg stuck in his throat.Knight also lost his voice until the elevator stopped again.
The gate of hell opened slowly, and screams came from outside the door. In the hall in front of them, they were separated from the exit directly opposite by thick black smoke.The evil spirits were like dogs grabbing territory and prey, attacking and biting each other, but when the two appeared behind the door, they stopped moving and all turned their heads to look over.
Charlie slid on the ground, staring desperately at the iron gate 20 meters away. The ice and snow outside became a dream that he longed for but could not get.
Knight pressed the button and returned to the basement level.The two left the elevator and stood in the hall silently.
"Can't we get out?" Charlie said weakly.He really didn't want to admit it was true.
Knight looked tense, and checked the bullets of the Gauss rifle: "Now we can only try to find the escape route to find the way we came."
"But," Charlie shuddered, "but the monster is still up there."
"Although the monster is powerful, there is only one." Knight tightened his cheeks, "Let's fight."
As she spoke, she pushed open the door without hesitation, and before she could take a step, a black shadow knocked her down heavily.
Charlie's eyes trembled slightly, and all the doors in the corridor outside the door opened, releasing ghost beasts filled with black smoke one after another, exactly the same as what he saw in the elevator just now.
"Shut the door!" Nate yelled at the teeth that had come off her head with the barrel of the gun.
Charlie ran over with stiff limbs and closed the door forcefully.
The ghost beast is so powerful that Knight can hardly resist it.She bent her right leg and kicked it away fiercely, and put the rifle on the ghost beast's abdomen with one hand. After three gunshots, the hideous and terrifying creature jumped up reluctantly.
Knight dodged to dodge, the butt of the gun smashed towards the back of the ghost beast, his ankle was rolled by the long pointed tail, and the whole person was dragged to the ground.
"Nate!" Charlie screamed, trying to rush to help, but his legs seemed to be amputated, and he couldn't feel them at all.
Knight let the ghost beast pull her in front of her. Seeing that the mouth was about to bite her leg, she sat up and put the muzzle of the gun on her forehead, blowing off half of its head with a bang.
Charlie suddenly wanted to cry, and then realized that his face was wet.
The black smoke ghost still refused to die, but he couldn't get up either. He was shaking on the ground, scratching like hooks.Knight stood up staggeringly, turned the rifle upside down, and hit the ghost beast with the butt of the gun until it was bloody and unable to move.
Charlie always felt that Knight was a bit scary, and this bloody and violent scene was indeed scary, but he felt that Knight's hysteria was more humane at this moment.
Nat took out the cigarette with his blood-stained hand and lit it, took a deep breath and then spit it out, then walked to the energy room that he hadn't been to before.
Charlie rubbed his eyes and hurriedly followed: "Why... are there such things in the base? What are they, are they really ghosts?"
Knight's tone was calm: "This is the truth that there are no living people in the base."
She unscrewed the iron gate on the door of the energy room, and pulled the heavy alloy door open.There was a stench in the room, and there were dried blood everywhere. Two corpses fell in front of the console, guns still in their hands.
Charlie felt a little nauseous: "Did nearly a thousand people in the base be bitten to death by those ghosts? But what about the corpses, were they eaten as food?"
"People in the base, haven't you already met?" Knight's voice was calm, as if a cigarette was enough to calm all emotions.
Charlie froze for a moment, remembering the observation records in the medical room, he couldn't help shaking: "You mean...they all became..."
His voice became lower and lower, and it was hard to imagine that the smoker on the ground who refused to die obediently, covered in charred black flesh, and had a tail, was once a living human being.
"But, how could this be?" Charlie murmured.
Knight kicked away the corpses blocking the way: "The first person was injured somewhere, infected with a certain virus, and then his body began to change, biting people when he was crazy, and continuing to spread the virus. Finally, every Everyone has been infected and turned into something that is neither human nor ghost."
Charlie wanted to cry but had no tears: "If we can't get out, will we also become that kind of thing? I don't want to die, and I don't want to become a ghost..."
Knight did not answer, standing by the wall and watching the warning signs on the wall.Charlie walked up to her and touched her calf: "What's written on it?"
"There are bombs buried in the ground, and the number should be just enough to blow up the entire base. This room is used to activate the self-destruct device." Knight poked a cigarette butt on it and extinguished it.
"You want to die with them?" Charlie trembled.Knight has the courage, he firmly believes, but deep in his heart is full of fear.But right now they have only a dead end, the difference is nothing more than being torn apart by evil spirits, being bitten to death by monsters, or waiting to be starved to death in this energy room.
"Maybe Tintin and the others will find us?" Charlie said without hope.The distance between them was too far, and no one would have thought that at the bottom of the ice valley, there was a base covered by thick glaciers.
Knight didn't seem to hear his question, and said to himself: "This energy room may be an explosion-proof cabin, and the outer layer of the wall should be equipped with a riot vent. I don't know the number and power of the underground bombs. Maybe you can stay inside. If you escape the catastrophe, you may turn into ashes along with the base."
Charlie opened his mouth and said in confusion, "Me? What about you?"
Knight answered irrelevantly, pointing to a black button on the console: "After pressing it, the self-destruct device will enter a countdown, and you have 10 minutes to pray that you will not be killed."
Charlie became more and more terrified, and he threw himself on Knight's lap: "Where are you going?"
Knight said: "This method is very risky. I will go outside to see if there is a way to the upper level."
The corridors outside are filled with ghosts and beasts that cannot be killed. What is the difference between going out and sending them to death.Charlie hugged Knight's leg tightly: "No, you will die, don't leave me alone."
Knight grabbed Charlie and put him on the console, and said calmly, "I can't get out."
She hooked the collar and tugged it down. The blood on her neck stained Charlie's eyes red.
"You were..." Charlie's tears fell down, and he was choked up and unable to speak.
Knight smiled nonchalantly: "In a few hours, I should start to have a fever and rot. I'm going to die anyway. I'd rather die quickly."
Charlie lost his words and just shook his head desperately.
"Listen, I'm going to find an escape route now. If I'm lucky enough to survive and find a way, I'll come back and take you up; if I encounter that monster, I'll hold it back and let you escape." Knight pinched Charlie face, forcing him to listen to his plan, "If I don't come back after half an hour, you can press that button and take a gamble."
Charlie's eyes were so blurred that he couldn't see clearly, he just shook his head.
"Some people say that life is a gamble, and that's true for you and me now." Knight raised the corners of his lips, and touched Charlie's head tenderly.He put away his smile and walked out with a gun.
"I hope you are luckier than me." She said without looking back.
Charlie sobbed until the iron door opened and closed again, and the sound of the iron gate turning came from outside, and he finally couldn't help crying loudly.Will things change in half an hour?Will a miracle happen?But Knight had been bitten, and even if they could get out, she would not survive.
Courage comes when there is fear—Charlie kept thinking about that quote, and there was nothing but despair in his heart.
If Knight doesn't come back after half an hour, does he really have the courage to press the black button and start his gamble——
"Are you... crazy?" Lin Xiao looked at Su Teng in disbelief, "I've never seen such a crazy person."
Su Teng's tone was calm: "Now you have seen it."
Lin Xiao frowned with two eyebrows, speechless.In the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the fate of the eight of them fell on the ice bridge and started their destined journey.
He had to admit that Su Teng's move was perfect.Before entering the tunnel, there were six of them, and they were absolutely superior in numbers.But it is different now, because of the ominous mural, everyone is doing their own thing, and everyone wants to be the last one alive.But Su Teng is different from Du Leding, no matter what the situation, the two of them will never attack each other.
Once something happened, these mercenaries would kill each other, and he couldn't control the situation at all, and the two of them could easily defeat each of them by joining forces.
This bastard... Lin Xiao gritted his teeth secretly.
There is no way out under your feet, so you have to move forward.Everyone wished they could see all directions and listen to all directions. Every nerve and every muscle in the whole body was tense, and they dared not relax for a moment.
At first there was no movement in the tunnel, almost eerily quiet.Before long, everyone heard some kind of noise.
thump—
thump—
A group of people stopped and listened with bated breath. The sound was very rhythmic, not rushing or slowing down.The source of the sound was very close, as if it was right next to you, but it was not concentrated, it seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was evenly distributed in the air.It's not loud, and even muffled, as if covered under a cloth.
Su Teng paid attention to the time: "Every interval is the same, almost once a second."
Du Leding joked, "Is it the sound of piling?"
Lin Xiao: "...a bit like the sound of a heartbeat."
Hearing what he said, the others also felt the extremely rhythmic thud, which coincided with the beating in their own chest.They looked left and right, trying to find the source of this disturbing sound, but the even sound of heartbeat seemed to be right next to their ears, and it seemed to be far away in the depths of the tunnel, and they couldn't determine the direction no matter what.
Du Leding walked to the edge of the ice wall, put his ear on it and listened carefully: "It seems to come from the ice."
Several people leaned over to listen, and someone said, "Is there a living person frozen in here?"
"Since it's frozen, how could it be a living person." This conjecture is too wild.
Another person said: "Could it be... the heartbeat of this tunnel?"
The others showed mocking smiles. How could there be a heartbeat in the tunnel? This idea is even more unreliable than that person's before.
"Go on," Du Leding and Su Teng were close together, wary of what might happen at any time, "just be careful."
Du Le Ding felt faintly uneasy, the slow and powerful beat seemed to match his heartbeat perfectly, as if the sound came from his chest cavity.
Did the beating sound affect his heartbeat?Does anyone else feel this way?Or is everything just his illusion?
He subconsciously held Su Teng's hand, and when Su Teng held him back forcefully, he felt a little relieved.
They walked deep into the tunnel with a gentle and powerful heartbeat, and a few minutes later, a wall of ice appeared in front of them.
Lin Xiao was stunned: "Is this the end?"
What about the agency?What about the tomb passage?What about the tomb? !
"There may be a way behind the ice wall." The mercenaries raised their guns one after another, trying to break the ice wall.
"Wait a minute." Du Le Ding felt that it would not be wise to smash the ice wall directly, in case it was a trap.
He and Su Teng inspected the ice wall, and there was a slender silhouette vaguely under the thick ice layer, winding like a river.
"Stay far away." Du Leding confirmed that there was nothing suspicious on the ice, took out his ice ax, and chiseled on it bit by bit.
The others quickly moved away, paying attention to Du Leding's movements while being wary of the people around him.
Su Teng stood beside Du Leding and watched: "What if there is a mechanism inside."
He was afraid that once the river-like curve was exposed to the air, it would trigger the mechanism implied in the mural.
"Don't worry, I won't chisel to the end." Du Le Ding removed a layer of ice on the surface, and gradually thinned the ice layer carefully along the outline.
The outline became clearer and clearer, and Su Teng quickly recognized it: "This is the fish god."
Du Leding brushed off the white flakes on the ice with his hands: "It seems that it is really... This structure is a bit like an ice lamp."
The outline of the fish god is hollow, like a spiral channel in the ice.It stands upright on its coiled tail, its head raised high, and a pair of double pupils staring forward.
Lin Xiao: "What is the meaning of the shape of the fish god?"
"Since it's an ice lamp," Du Leding grabbed a flashlight and adjusted the beam to illuminate the ice surface from top to bottom, "then there should be a light."
The designer of the tomb likes to use light to design mechanisms, and he intuitively feels that the hollow fish god shape should be the key to opening this ice wall.There is a hole at the bottom of the ice wall, which is connected to the fish god's tail. He stuffed the flashlight through the hole, and the light shone along the curved passage as expected.
The ice wall shook violently and sank rumblingly.The people behind did not dare to get close, nervously waiting for the situation behind the wall.
Ten seconds later, the ice wall completely sank into the ice layer on the ground, exposing the artificially dug tunnel.Everyone was so excited that they forgot the mural of "Live Alone" and couldn't wait to walk inside.
Du Leding took a step forward, Su Teng suddenly grabbed his hand and shouted, "Close your eyes!"
Although everyone heard his voice, there was no time to react.The moment he spoke, a scorching white light emanated from the corridor, shining like a sharp blade. Du Leding felt as if he was forced to look directly at the sun, and a white light burst out in front of his eyes.
He squatted down covering his eyes, only to hear screams from around him.The strong imprint of the white light entered the brain through the optic nerve, even with the eyes closed, there was still a bright light in front of him.
Physiological tears welled up, he supported the ice surface with one hand, and flailed with the other to find Su Teng.
"Ding Ding." Su Teng grabbed his hand.
Du Leding opened his eyes, and suddenly fell into a panic: "I can't see."
There are white flowers in front of my eyes, and the corridor has turned into a hazy white belt, swaying and flowing into the distance.He held Su Teng tightly and said, "How are you? Are your eyes okay?"
"I can't see for the time being." Su Teng was affected by the white light earlier than them, and entered a state of violent blindness before them.
Cursing came from behind, apparently Lin Xiao and the others were the same.
"Don't shout," Du Le Ding drenched in cold sweat, and stopped the confusion behind him, "Keep calm and close your eyes."
"You may not be able to go out with your eyes open, and now you have to close your eyes?!"
Du Leding gritted his teeth and said, "Now you can't see with your eyes open, and the hole is so bright, maybe you won't be blind with your eyes closed."
Several people touched the ice wall one after another, not daring to go any further, maybe they could recover their eyesight after a while.
Du Leding stood next to Su Teng, secretly scolding himself for being too careless.But who would have thought that such a thing would happen.Now they have become a bunch of blind people, and things are even more difficult.
In the suffocating silence, someone suddenly said: "The 'heartbeat' seems to be speeding up."
When everyone heard it, the heartbeat almost every second seemed to shorten the interval, and the rapid drumbeat beat on their nervous and fragile nerves.
"There are other voices." Lin Xiao whispered.
Duledin strained his ears, and heard faint scraping sounds coming from the direction they came from. It was very weak at first, but became clear after a few seconds, as if they were approaching them from far to near. .
He pulled Su Teng to stand up: "Is there something coming?"
With a whoosh, everyone stood up. Du Leding heard the sound of fiddling with guns, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't shoot indiscriminately, a group of people are blind, and it will be bad if you hurt your own people."
Perhaps this is what the content of the mural implies. They can't see anything at the moment and can only rely on other senses. However, under such circumstances, it is easy to make wrong judgments and kill each other.
The murals imply that only one person will survive in the end, but in Duledin's view, this probability is too small.They might all die, or many of them survived. How could it be possible that no matter how many people came in, there would be only one alive...
The scratching sound was getting closer, and at the same time there was another strange sound, which sounded like a chewing sound.
"Fuck..." someone cursed in a low voice.
Everyone backed up unanimously. Although they were afraid of the space behind the ice wall, they didn't dare to stay where they were. The frightening voice made them unable to keep calm. There was always a feeling that they would be thrown down by something in the next second. a feeling of.
They squeezed each other and walked a few steps, but the sound of "heartbeat" slowed down again, and after stopping, the sound of "heartbeat" accelerated again, as if the tunnel couldn't see them staying, urging them to move forward impatiently.
They hesitated, disturbed by the urging voice. The scraping sound was getting closer and closer, and gradually they could distinguish the sound of footsteps.
Su Teng whispered to Du Leding: "Stopping here is not the solution, it is better to pass through the corridor quickly."
Du Le Ding thought the same way, he looked into the white corridor, his eyes hurt.Su Teng walked very steadily and breathed very calmly, no different from usual.
Could it be that Su Teng was pretending not to see, but was not actually affected?
But his eyes are different from ordinary people, and it stands to reason that his vision is more severely damaged than theirs, but his reaction must have been too calm.
Only one person survived... Could it be that someone was not affected by the white light just now?
No, Su Teng wouldn't lie to him... Or did he deliberately hide it because he was afraid of being heard by others?
Du Leding fell into the quagmire of doubt and couldn't extricate himself. In the chaos of his heart, he heard the sound of blood surging in his body again, and impatience, excitement and some kind of evil desire floated in his heart.He couldn't help but close his fingers, and pressed his nails on the ice wall hard, as if doing so would release some pressure.
The ice wall creaked, and he clearly felt that his nails had dug deep into the ice layer, leaving scratches on it.
Those aren't my nails—Duoledin thought horribly.
The long and narrow corridor gathers and amplifies various sounds, and together with the influence of the psychological hints of the murals, one malicious thought after another is born.Even he was inexplicably suspicious of Su Teng, Lin Xiao and the others' thoughts can be imagined, everyone is probably suspicious of each other and wary of each other.
"Who is it! Who the hell shot me!" Someone yelled.
"Ah!" a scream.
Gunshots, dark brown light trails, flickering white shadows, the corridor was like the chaos at the beginning of the world, the chaotic sounds and shapeless images made people lose control, Duleding felt a pain in his chest, and his sanity was gone , he didn't know what he was doing, there was a voice roaring in his heart——
Blood, warm blood.
The confusion lasted for an unknown amount of time, maybe 10 minutes, maybe only 1 minute.The clouds in Du Leding's mind gradually dissipated, the white light in front of his eyes suddenly sank, and his vision recovered somewhat.
A strong wind blew against his face, making him more awake.They didn't know when they had already walked outside, the strong wind was blowing irregularly, forming cyclones on the ground.There is a dark sky above the head, and there is endless falling snow on the left and right.
He blinked hard and saw Lin Xiao running on a frozen lake.
"Su Teng?!" Du Le Ding had let go of Su Teng's hand in the previous chaos, but when he thought of the content in the mural, he couldn't help feeling cold.But he is still alive, and Lin Xiao is also alive, so does that mean that the others are not dead?
"I'm here." Su Teng's steady voice came from behind him.
Du Leding turned around in surprise, and his heart sank suddenly when he saw Su Teng: "Your eyes..."
There were two bloodstains on Su Teng's face, and the source was the double pupils.He reached out and touched Du Leding's arm: "It's okay, but I can't see it yet."
How could it be okay? Isn't this situation the same as before his grandfather went blind?Du Leding's heart clenched, and the pain was severe. He wanted to help Su Teng wipe off the blood on his face, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his hand was covered with blood.
"What did I do?" Du Leding stretched out his hands in front of his eyes, his voice trembling.He looked around, and the five mercenaries were gone.
"Don't think about anything," Su Teng hugged Du Leding and said firmly, "You didn't do anything."
Du Le Ding really wanted to believe in Su Teng, but his trembling fingertips seemed to be screaming - you killed them all, you killed them all!
"Where's Lin Xiao, did you see him?" Su Teng forced Du Leding to divert his attention.
"He ran to a frozen lake." Du Le Ding clenched his fists, trying his best to restrain his trembling.The icy lake has a large area, and there is an icicle standing in the middle, with something horizontal on the top, and Lin Xiao's goal is there.
Su Teng took Du Leding's hand: "Let's go and have a look."
Du Leding took Su Teng to chase Lin Xiao.Su Teng's eyes are too sensitive to light, and his visual damage must be much more severe than that of ordinary people, and he won't be able to recover for a while.I just don't know how long it will be between the first bleeding and when I can't see it at all.
Years, months, or days?
"Don't come here!" Lin Xiao stood under the icicle, pointing the bow and arrow in his hand at Du Leding.His face was covered in blood, and only half of his face was left in his left ear.
Du Le Ding looked up, and on the icicle lay a crystal clear natural crystal coffin, the shape was uncarved and the outline was irregular.There was a slight flicker in the raised sight, and there seemed to be meteors passing by in the dark sky.
Du Le Ding's heart moved, and he looked down, and there was a faint purple light flowing under the frozen "ice surface".
"This is not outside." Du Leding murmured.
Lin Xiao didn't hear clearly: "Both of you, neither of you is allowed to approach. Back off!"
Du Le Ding came back to his senses: "Listen to me, this place is not right, our feet are not a frozen lake..."
With a sound of "咻", Lin Xiao suddenly shot an arrow, and Du Leding felt a pain in his shoulder, and couldn't help taking a step back.
"What's the matter, are you injured?" Su Teng touched Du Leding in a panic.
"It's okay." Du Leding pressed Su Teng's hand, turned to Lin Xiao and said, "If we don't go there, don't move the coffin either."
"I don't believe a word you said." Lin Xiao said coldly.
Du Leding's heart sank, seeing Lin Xiao's attitude, he must have done something heinous in the tunnel before.But he had to stop Lin Xiao. What they were standing on was not frozen ice, but a whole piece of natural huge crystal, which was wrapped with some kind of substance, whether it was liquid or gas. He suspected that as long as someone approached the icicle or the crystal coffin, it will trigger an extremely dangerous mechanism.
"Go up and open the coffin." Lin Xiao pointed to Su Teng.
Du Leding said urgently: "He can't see, how can you tell him to open it?"
Lin Xiao shot a few arrows, all of which stuck on the "ice surface", and said desperately: "I don't care, you direct his direction. Otherwise, I will detonate the arrows, and if I die, everyone will die together."
Lin Xiao's eyes were red, and his emotions seemed to be stimulated.Du Leding didn't want to provoke him, but wanted to say something more, Su Teng stopped him, equipped with a mecha and flew into the air: "Tell me the direction."
He flew forward, getting closer and closer to the crystal coffin, Lin Xiao yelled to stop, telling him that he could touch it as long as he stretched out his hand.
Du Leding pulled out the arrow on his shoulder and threw it aside: "What if there is a mechanism in the coffin?"
"No matter who dies, I can only say that fate is what it should be," Lin Xiao said with a stiff gaze, "If there is a mechanism to destroy the world, it is better to die happily than to be torn apart by you."
Du Le Ding couldn't help trembling, did he really... tear people into pieces?He couldn't remember at all.
"The coffin lid is not sealed." Su Teng's voice came from above.
He carefully opened the coffin lid, flew down from the air, and put the coffin lid on the ground: "The coffin and the icicle are connected, I can't take it off."
Lin Xiao didn't care about this: "Don't be kidding, you are equipped with a mecha, the connecting surface between the icicle and the coffin is only so big."
"Wait a minute," Duledin said, pointing to the coffin lid on the ground, "There is a turntable on it."
There is a copper turntable placed in the center of the inner side of the coffin lid. Du Leding raised his hand to signal Lin Xiao to press the bow, walked over cautiously, squatted down in front of the coffin lid, turned the copper turntable slightly, and popped fingers one by one from the edge of the coffin lid. Long thin iron rod.
"What is this for?" Lin Xiao woke up Du Leding from his stupor.
Du Le Ding said in a trance: "This is... a device for unlocking the lock."
Lin Xiao walked to the coffin lid involuntarily, and said in surprise, "But the turntable is inside the coffin lid..."
He suddenly understood why Du Leding was so shocked.Even if the body was encoffined with the intention of a second burial, the unlocking device should be outside.And this copper turntable seems to be specially reserved for the corpse in the coffin.
"This must be Song Xiangqi's coffin," Lin Xiao said out of breath, "He may really have mastered the method of bringing the dead back to life, so he specially made such a coffin that can be opened from the inside as an experiment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Teng strangled his neck when Xunsheng approached him.Lin Xiao was shocked, but his reaction was also quite quick. When Du Le Ding rushed over, he grabbed a short arrow from his waist pocket, inserted it hard into the joint of the mecha joint, and released the electromagnetic force at the same time.
Su Teng's arm was a little loose, and he slipped away like a loach, trying to press the controller to detonate a few arrows standing on the "ice surface".Du Leding threw a punch, blood spattered three feet in front of his eyes, and the controller flew far away.
Lin Xiao kicked Du Leding over, and ran towards the controller like crazy. Du Leding chased him, pressed him to the ground, and strangled him tightly by the neck.
There was a crackling sound behind him, and Du Leding felt a chill in his heart. He didn't want to knock Lin Xiao unconscious first, but when he looked back, the icicle actually cracked.The crystal coffin swayed back and forth like a seesaw, without giving anyone a chance to breathe, it slid down with a bang, and was about to hit the "ice surface".
Duledin's breathing stopped, and he couldn't imagine the consequences of the cracking of the strange crystal under his feet, but he intuitively felt that the consequences would be very bad.
With a "boom", Du Leding's heart stopped beating, and the next second, he suddenly pumped his blood again and jumped up desperately.At the critical moment, Su Teng caught the crystal coffin.
Du Leding's knees softened, and he almost knelt down to Boss Su.He ran over overjoyed, wanting to give Su Teng a shocking hug.
There was a muffled sound in the distance, like a landslide, thunder, or a powerful explosion.The wind and snow stopped suddenly, just like Du Leding's footsteps suddenly stopped.After a second of dead silence, the ground seemed to have been severely injured, moaning and trembling quietly, a crack burst open on the "ice surface" with a "click", and bursts of purple-black smoke floated out like strands of hair.
Du Leding smelled the smell of death and saw Su Teng throw away the coffin and run towards him. The next moment, a purple-black wall of fire blocked his sight.The huge crystal fell apart, cracked and disintegrated, and in an instant, the purple fire with a strange and ominous color erupted from the ground, piercing the sky like a dragon, and raining fire like meteors.
The raging flames, the raging flames, everything in the world was engulfed by the purple fire, glaciers, ice valleys, ice fields, coffins, dark ghosts, and white monsters all disappeared.
The elevator shook violently like a feverish patient, but the LCD screen showed that it was going to the second basement floor.
Charlie swallowed his saliva, his throat was still dry: "How did it get down?"
"It should be because of the restart of the power supply," Knight stood at the door, and said flatly, "The elevator will continue to operate before the power failure, and then resume normal work."
Charlie nodded nervously.After a while, the elevator stopped and the door opened with a ding.The pupils of the two constricted almost at the same time, and they held their breath.
The straight corridor outside the door was brightly lit, but the two of them seemed to have fallen into hell, stiff and unable to move.The second basement floor seems to be a lair of evil spirits. On the ground, on the walls, and even on the ceiling, there are creatures that look like ghosts and are covered in black and black. Their bodies are filled with black smoke, and they still drag their slender tails behind them.
These ghosts with deformed heads were just wandering around lazily. When the elevator opened, they all looked at the two uninvited guests, and their shattered pupils shone with a flowing luster under the fluorescent lamp.
A few dangling tails began to trot towards the elevator, and Knight desperately pressed the up button. The moment a certain evil spirit was about to rush in, the elevator door finally closed.
The elevator began to rise slowly, and Charlie couldn't speak a word as if there was an egg stuck in his throat.Knight also lost his voice until the elevator stopped again.
The gate of hell opened slowly, and screams came from outside the door. In the hall in front of them, they were separated from the exit directly opposite by thick black smoke.The evil spirits were like dogs grabbing territory and prey, attacking and biting each other, but when the two appeared behind the door, they stopped moving and all turned their heads to look over.
Charlie slid on the ground, staring desperately at the iron gate 20 meters away. The ice and snow outside became a dream that he longed for but could not get.
Knight pressed the button and returned to the basement level.The two left the elevator and stood in the hall silently.
"Can't we get out?" Charlie said weakly.He really didn't want to admit it was true.
Knight looked tense, and checked the bullets of the Gauss rifle: "Now we can only try to find the escape route to find the way we came."
"But," Charlie shuddered, "but the monster is still up there."
"Although the monster is powerful, there is only one." Knight tightened his cheeks, "Let's fight."
As she spoke, she pushed open the door without hesitation, and before she could take a step, a black shadow knocked her down heavily.
Charlie's eyes trembled slightly, and all the doors in the corridor outside the door opened, releasing ghost beasts filled with black smoke one after another, exactly the same as what he saw in the elevator just now.
"Shut the door!" Nate yelled at the teeth that had come off her head with the barrel of the gun.
Charlie ran over with stiff limbs and closed the door forcefully.
The ghost beast is so powerful that Knight can hardly resist it.She bent her right leg and kicked it away fiercely, and put the rifle on the ghost beast's abdomen with one hand. After three gunshots, the hideous and terrifying creature jumped up reluctantly.
Knight dodged to dodge, the butt of the gun smashed towards the back of the ghost beast, his ankle was rolled by the long pointed tail, and the whole person was dragged to the ground.
"Nate!" Charlie screamed, trying to rush to help, but his legs seemed to be amputated, and he couldn't feel them at all.
Knight let the ghost beast pull her in front of her. Seeing that the mouth was about to bite her leg, she sat up and put the muzzle of the gun on her forehead, blowing off half of its head with a bang.
Charlie suddenly wanted to cry, and then realized that his face was wet.
The black smoke ghost still refused to die, but he couldn't get up either. He was shaking on the ground, scratching like hooks.Knight stood up staggeringly, turned the rifle upside down, and hit the ghost beast with the butt of the gun until it was bloody and unable to move.
Charlie always felt that Knight was a bit scary, and this bloody and violent scene was indeed scary, but he felt that Knight's hysteria was more humane at this moment.
Nat took out the cigarette with his blood-stained hand and lit it, took a deep breath and then spit it out, then walked to the energy room that he hadn't been to before.
Charlie rubbed his eyes and hurriedly followed: "Why... are there such things in the base? What are they, are they really ghosts?"
Knight's tone was calm: "This is the truth that there are no living people in the base."
She unscrewed the iron gate on the door of the energy room, and pulled the heavy alloy door open.There was a stench in the room, and there were dried blood everywhere. Two corpses fell in front of the console, guns still in their hands.
Charlie felt a little nauseous: "Did nearly a thousand people in the base be bitten to death by those ghosts? But what about the corpses, were they eaten as food?"
"People in the base, haven't you already met?" Knight's voice was calm, as if a cigarette was enough to calm all emotions.
Charlie froze for a moment, remembering the observation records in the medical room, he couldn't help shaking: "You mean...they all became..."
His voice became lower and lower, and it was hard to imagine that the smoker on the ground who refused to die obediently, covered in charred black flesh, and had a tail, was once a living human being.
"But, how could this be?" Charlie murmured.
Knight kicked away the corpses blocking the way: "The first person was injured somewhere, infected with a certain virus, and then his body began to change, biting people when he was crazy, and continuing to spread the virus. Finally, every Everyone has been infected and turned into something that is neither human nor ghost."
Charlie wanted to cry but had no tears: "If we can't get out, will we also become that kind of thing? I don't want to die, and I don't want to become a ghost..."
Knight did not answer, standing by the wall and watching the warning signs on the wall.Charlie walked up to her and touched her calf: "What's written on it?"
"There are bombs buried in the ground, and the number should be just enough to blow up the entire base. This room is used to activate the self-destruct device." Knight poked a cigarette butt on it and extinguished it.
"You want to die with them?" Charlie trembled.Knight has the courage, he firmly believes, but deep in his heart is full of fear.But right now they have only a dead end, the difference is nothing more than being torn apart by evil spirits, being bitten to death by monsters, or waiting to be starved to death in this energy room.
"Maybe Tintin and the others will find us?" Charlie said without hope.The distance between them was too far, and no one would have thought that at the bottom of the ice valley, there was a base covered by thick glaciers.
Knight didn't seem to hear his question, and said to himself: "This energy room may be an explosion-proof cabin, and the outer layer of the wall should be equipped with a riot vent. I don't know the number and power of the underground bombs. Maybe you can stay inside. If you escape the catastrophe, you may turn into ashes along with the base."
Charlie opened his mouth and said in confusion, "Me? What about you?"
Knight answered irrelevantly, pointing to a black button on the console: "After pressing it, the self-destruct device will enter a countdown, and you have 10 minutes to pray that you will not be killed."
Charlie became more and more terrified, and he threw himself on Knight's lap: "Where are you going?"
Knight said: "This method is very risky. I will go outside to see if there is a way to the upper level."
The corridors outside are filled with ghosts and beasts that cannot be killed. What is the difference between going out and sending them to death.Charlie hugged Knight's leg tightly: "No, you will die, don't leave me alone."
Knight grabbed Charlie and put him on the console, and said calmly, "I can't get out."
She hooked the collar and tugged it down. The blood on her neck stained Charlie's eyes red.
"You were..." Charlie's tears fell down, and he was choked up and unable to speak.
Knight smiled nonchalantly: "In a few hours, I should start to have a fever and rot. I'm going to die anyway. I'd rather die quickly."
Charlie lost his words and just shook his head desperately.
"Listen, I'm going to find an escape route now. If I'm lucky enough to survive and find a way, I'll come back and take you up; if I encounter that monster, I'll hold it back and let you escape." Knight pinched Charlie face, forcing him to listen to his plan, "If I don't come back after half an hour, you can press that button and take a gamble."
Charlie's eyes were so blurred that he couldn't see clearly, he just shook his head.
"Some people say that life is a gamble, and that's true for you and me now." Knight raised the corners of his lips, and touched Charlie's head tenderly.He put away his smile and walked out with a gun.
"I hope you are luckier than me." She said without looking back.
Charlie sobbed until the iron door opened and closed again, and the sound of the iron gate turning came from outside, and he finally couldn't help crying loudly.Will things change in half an hour?Will a miracle happen?But Knight had been bitten, and even if they could get out, she would not survive.
Courage comes when there is fear—Charlie kept thinking about that quote, and there was nothing but despair in his heart.
If Knight doesn't come back after half an hour, does he really have the courage to press the black button and start his gamble——
"Are you... crazy?" Lin Xiao looked at Su Teng in disbelief, "I've never seen such a crazy person."
Su Teng's tone was calm: "Now you have seen it."
Lin Xiao frowned with two eyebrows, speechless.In the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the fate of the eight of them fell on the ice bridge and started their destined journey.
He had to admit that Su Teng's move was perfect.Before entering the tunnel, there were six of them, and they were absolutely superior in numbers.But it is different now, because of the ominous mural, everyone is doing their own thing, and everyone wants to be the last one alive.But Su Teng is different from Du Leding, no matter what the situation, the two of them will never attack each other.
Once something happened, these mercenaries would kill each other, and he couldn't control the situation at all, and the two of them could easily defeat each of them by joining forces.
This bastard... Lin Xiao gritted his teeth secretly.
There is no way out under your feet, so you have to move forward.Everyone wished they could see all directions and listen to all directions. Every nerve and every muscle in the whole body was tense, and they dared not relax for a moment.
At first there was no movement in the tunnel, almost eerily quiet.Before long, everyone heard some kind of noise.
thump—
thump—
A group of people stopped and listened with bated breath. The sound was very rhythmic, not rushing or slowing down.The source of the sound was very close, as if it was right next to you, but it was not concentrated, it seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was evenly distributed in the air.It's not loud, and even muffled, as if covered under a cloth.
Su Teng paid attention to the time: "Every interval is the same, almost once a second."
Du Leding joked, "Is it the sound of piling?"
Lin Xiao: "...a bit like the sound of a heartbeat."
Hearing what he said, the others also felt the extremely rhythmic thud, which coincided with the beating in their own chest.They looked left and right, trying to find the source of this disturbing sound, but the even sound of heartbeat seemed to be right next to their ears, and it seemed to be far away in the depths of the tunnel, and they couldn't determine the direction no matter what.
Du Leding walked to the edge of the ice wall, put his ear on it and listened carefully: "It seems to come from the ice."
Several people leaned over to listen, and someone said, "Is there a living person frozen in here?"
"Since it's frozen, how could it be a living person." This conjecture is too wild.
Another person said: "Could it be... the heartbeat of this tunnel?"
The others showed mocking smiles. How could there be a heartbeat in the tunnel? This idea is even more unreliable than that person's before.
"Go on," Du Leding and Su Teng were close together, wary of what might happen at any time, "just be careful."
Du Le Ding felt faintly uneasy, the slow and powerful beat seemed to match his heartbeat perfectly, as if the sound came from his chest cavity.
Did the beating sound affect his heartbeat?Does anyone else feel this way?Or is everything just his illusion?
He subconsciously held Su Teng's hand, and when Su Teng held him back forcefully, he felt a little relieved.
They walked deep into the tunnel with a gentle and powerful heartbeat, and a few minutes later, a wall of ice appeared in front of them.
Lin Xiao was stunned: "Is this the end?"
What about the agency?What about the tomb passage?What about the tomb? !
"There may be a way behind the ice wall." The mercenaries raised their guns one after another, trying to break the ice wall.
"Wait a minute." Du Le Ding felt that it would not be wise to smash the ice wall directly, in case it was a trap.
He and Su Teng inspected the ice wall, and there was a slender silhouette vaguely under the thick ice layer, winding like a river.
"Stay far away." Du Leding confirmed that there was nothing suspicious on the ice, took out his ice ax, and chiseled on it bit by bit.
The others quickly moved away, paying attention to Du Leding's movements while being wary of the people around him.
Su Teng stood beside Du Leding and watched: "What if there is a mechanism inside."
He was afraid that once the river-like curve was exposed to the air, it would trigger the mechanism implied in the mural.
"Don't worry, I won't chisel to the end." Du Le Ding removed a layer of ice on the surface, and gradually thinned the ice layer carefully along the outline.
The outline became clearer and clearer, and Su Teng quickly recognized it: "This is the fish god."
Du Leding brushed off the white flakes on the ice with his hands: "It seems that it is really... This structure is a bit like an ice lamp."
The outline of the fish god is hollow, like a spiral channel in the ice.It stands upright on its coiled tail, its head raised high, and a pair of double pupils staring forward.
Lin Xiao: "What is the meaning of the shape of the fish god?"
"Since it's an ice lamp," Du Leding grabbed a flashlight and adjusted the beam to illuminate the ice surface from top to bottom, "then there should be a light."
The designer of the tomb likes to use light to design mechanisms, and he intuitively feels that the hollow fish god shape should be the key to opening this ice wall.There is a hole at the bottom of the ice wall, which is connected to the fish god's tail. He stuffed the flashlight through the hole, and the light shone along the curved passage as expected.
The ice wall shook violently and sank rumblingly.The people behind did not dare to get close, nervously waiting for the situation behind the wall.
Ten seconds later, the ice wall completely sank into the ice layer on the ground, exposing the artificially dug tunnel.Everyone was so excited that they forgot the mural of "Live Alone" and couldn't wait to walk inside.
Du Leding took a step forward, Su Teng suddenly grabbed his hand and shouted, "Close your eyes!"
Although everyone heard his voice, there was no time to react.The moment he spoke, a scorching white light emanated from the corridor, shining like a sharp blade. Du Leding felt as if he was forced to look directly at the sun, and a white light burst out in front of his eyes.
He squatted down covering his eyes, only to hear screams from around him.The strong imprint of the white light entered the brain through the optic nerve, even with the eyes closed, there was still a bright light in front of him.
Physiological tears welled up, he supported the ice surface with one hand, and flailed with the other to find Su Teng.
"Ding Ding." Su Teng grabbed his hand.
Du Leding opened his eyes, and suddenly fell into a panic: "I can't see."
There are white flowers in front of my eyes, and the corridor has turned into a hazy white belt, swaying and flowing into the distance.He held Su Teng tightly and said, "How are you? Are your eyes okay?"
"I can't see for the time being." Su Teng was affected by the white light earlier than them, and entered a state of violent blindness before them.
Cursing came from behind, apparently Lin Xiao and the others were the same.
"Don't shout," Du Le Ding drenched in cold sweat, and stopped the confusion behind him, "Keep calm and close your eyes."
"You may not be able to go out with your eyes open, and now you have to close your eyes?!"
Du Leding gritted his teeth and said, "Now you can't see with your eyes open, and the hole is so bright, maybe you won't be blind with your eyes closed."
Several people touched the ice wall one after another, not daring to go any further, maybe they could recover their eyesight after a while.
Du Leding stood next to Su Teng, secretly scolding himself for being too careless.But who would have thought that such a thing would happen.Now they have become a bunch of blind people, and things are even more difficult.
In the suffocating silence, someone suddenly said: "The 'heartbeat' seems to be speeding up."
When everyone heard it, the heartbeat almost every second seemed to shorten the interval, and the rapid drumbeat beat on their nervous and fragile nerves.
"There are other voices." Lin Xiao whispered.
Duledin strained his ears, and heard faint scraping sounds coming from the direction they came from. It was very weak at first, but became clear after a few seconds, as if they were approaching them from far to near. .
He pulled Su Teng to stand up: "Is there something coming?"
With a whoosh, everyone stood up. Du Leding heard the sound of fiddling with guns, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't shoot indiscriminately, a group of people are blind, and it will be bad if you hurt your own people."
Perhaps this is what the content of the mural implies. They can't see anything at the moment and can only rely on other senses. However, under such circumstances, it is easy to make wrong judgments and kill each other.
The murals imply that only one person will survive in the end, but in Duledin's view, this probability is too small.They might all die, or many of them survived. How could it be possible that no matter how many people came in, there would be only one alive...
The scratching sound was getting closer, and at the same time there was another strange sound, which sounded like a chewing sound.
"Fuck..." someone cursed in a low voice.
Everyone backed up unanimously. Although they were afraid of the space behind the ice wall, they didn't dare to stay where they were. The frightening voice made them unable to keep calm. There was always a feeling that they would be thrown down by something in the next second. a feeling of.
They squeezed each other and walked a few steps, but the sound of "heartbeat" slowed down again, and after stopping, the sound of "heartbeat" accelerated again, as if the tunnel couldn't see them staying, urging them to move forward impatiently.
They hesitated, disturbed by the urging voice. The scraping sound was getting closer and closer, and gradually they could distinguish the sound of footsteps.
Su Teng whispered to Du Leding: "Stopping here is not the solution, it is better to pass through the corridor quickly."
Du Le Ding thought the same way, he looked into the white corridor, his eyes hurt.Su Teng walked very steadily and breathed very calmly, no different from usual.
Could it be that Su Teng was pretending not to see, but was not actually affected?
But his eyes are different from ordinary people, and it stands to reason that his vision is more severely damaged than theirs, but his reaction must have been too calm.
Only one person survived... Could it be that someone was not affected by the white light just now?
No, Su Teng wouldn't lie to him... Or did he deliberately hide it because he was afraid of being heard by others?
Du Leding fell into the quagmire of doubt and couldn't extricate himself. In the chaos of his heart, he heard the sound of blood surging in his body again, and impatience, excitement and some kind of evil desire floated in his heart.He couldn't help but close his fingers, and pressed his nails on the ice wall hard, as if doing so would release some pressure.
The ice wall creaked, and he clearly felt that his nails had dug deep into the ice layer, leaving scratches on it.
Those aren't my nails—Duoledin thought horribly.
The long and narrow corridor gathers and amplifies various sounds, and together with the influence of the psychological hints of the murals, one malicious thought after another is born.Even he was inexplicably suspicious of Su Teng, Lin Xiao and the others' thoughts can be imagined, everyone is probably suspicious of each other and wary of each other.
"Who is it! Who the hell shot me!" Someone yelled.
"Ah!" a scream.
Gunshots, dark brown light trails, flickering white shadows, the corridor was like the chaos at the beginning of the world, the chaotic sounds and shapeless images made people lose control, Duleding felt a pain in his chest, and his sanity was gone , he didn't know what he was doing, there was a voice roaring in his heart——
Blood, warm blood.
The confusion lasted for an unknown amount of time, maybe 10 minutes, maybe only 1 minute.The clouds in Du Leding's mind gradually dissipated, the white light in front of his eyes suddenly sank, and his vision recovered somewhat.
A strong wind blew against his face, making him more awake.They didn't know when they had already walked outside, the strong wind was blowing irregularly, forming cyclones on the ground.There is a dark sky above the head, and there is endless falling snow on the left and right.
He blinked hard and saw Lin Xiao running on a frozen lake.
"Su Teng?!" Du Le Ding had let go of Su Teng's hand in the previous chaos, but when he thought of the content in the mural, he couldn't help feeling cold.But he is still alive, and Lin Xiao is also alive, so does that mean that the others are not dead?
"I'm here." Su Teng's steady voice came from behind him.
Du Leding turned around in surprise, and his heart sank suddenly when he saw Su Teng: "Your eyes..."
There were two bloodstains on Su Teng's face, and the source was the double pupils.He reached out and touched Du Leding's arm: "It's okay, but I can't see it yet."
How could it be okay? Isn't this situation the same as before his grandfather went blind?Du Leding's heart clenched, and the pain was severe. He wanted to help Su Teng wipe off the blood on his face, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his hand was covered with blood.
"What did I do?" Du Leding stretched out his hands in front of his eyes, his voice trembling.He looked around, and the five mercenaries were gone.
"Don't think about anything," Su Teng hugged Du Leding and said firmly, "You didn't do anything."
Du Le Ding really wanted to believe in Su Teng, but his trembling fingertips seemed to be screaming - you killed them all, you killed them all!
"Where's Lin Xiao, did you see him?" Su Teng forced Du Leding to divert his attention.
"He ran to a frozen lake." Du Le Ding clenched his fists, trying his best to restrain his trembling.The icy lake has a large area, and there is an icicle standing in the middle, with something horizontal on the top, and Lin Xiao's goal is there.
Su Teng took Du Leding's hand: "Let's go and have a look."
Du Leding took Su Teng to chase Lin Xiao.Su Teng's eyes are too sensitive to light, and his visual damage must be much more severe than that of ordinary people, and he won't be able to recover for a while.I just don't know how long it will be between the first bleeding and when I can't see it at all.
Years, months, or days?
"Don't come here!" Lin Xiao stood under the icicle, pointing the bow and arrow in his hand at Du Leding.His face was covered in blood, and only half of his face was left in his left ear.
Du Le Ding looked up, and on the icicle lay a crystal clear natural crystal coffin, the shape was uncarved and the outline was irregular.There was a slight flicker in the raised sight, and there seemed to be meteors passing by in the dark sky.
Du Le Ding's heart moved, and he looked down, and there was a faint purple light flowing under the frozen "ice surface".
"This is not outside." Du Leding murmured.
Lin Xiao didn't hear clearly: "Both of you, neither of you is allowed to approach. Back off!"
Du Le Ding came back to his senses: "Listen to me, this place is not right, our feet are not a frozen lake..."
With a sound of "咻", Lin Xiao suddenly shot an arrow, and Du Leding felt a pain in his shoulder, and couldn't help taking a step back.
"What's the matter, are you injured?" Su Teng touched Du Leding in a panic.
"It's okay." Du Leding pressed Su Teng's hand, turned to Lin Xiao and said, "If we don't go there, don't move the coffin either."
"I don't believe a word you said." Lin Xiao said coldly.
Du Leding's heart sank, seeing Lin Xiao's attitude, he must have done something heinous in the tunnel before.But he had to stop Lin Xiao. What they were standing on was not frozen ice, but a whole piece of natural huge crystal, which was wrapped with some kind of substance, whether it was liquid or gas. He suspected that as long as someone approached the icicle or the crystal coffin, it will trigger an extremely dangerous mechanism.
"Go up and open the coffin." Lin Xiao pointed to Su Teng.
Du Leding said urgently: "He can't see, how can you tell him to open it?"
Lin Xiao shot a few arrows, all of which stuck on the "ice surface", and said desperately: "I don't care, you direct his direction. Otherwise, I will detonate the arrows, and if I die, everyone will die together."
Lin Xiao's eyes were red, and his emotions seemed to be stimulated.Du Leding didn't want to provoke him, but wanted to say something more, Su Teng stopped him, equipped with a mecha and flew into the air: "Tell me the direction."
He flew forward, getting closer and closer to the crystal coffin, Lin Xiao yelled to stop, telling him that he could touch it as long as he stretched out his hand.
Du Leding pulled out the arrow on his shoulder and threw it aside: "What if there is a mechanism in the coffin?"
"No matter who dies, I can only say that fate is what it should be," Lin Xiao said with a stiff gaze, "If there is a mechanism to destroy the world, it is better to die happily than to be torn apart by you."
Du Le Ding couldn't help trembling, did he really... tear people into pieces?He couldn't remember at all.
"The coffin lid is not sealed." Su Teng's voice came from above.
He carefully opened the coffin lid, flew down from the air, and put the coffin lid on the ground: "The coffin and the icicle are connected, I can't take it off."
Lin Xiao didn't care about this: "Don't be kidding, you are equipped with a mecha, the connecting surface between the icicle and the coffin is only so big."
"Wait a minute," Duledin said, pointing to the coffin lid on the ground, "There is a turntable on it."
There is a copper turntable placed in the center of the inner side of the coffin lid. Du Leding raised his hand to signal Lin Xiao to press the bow, walked over cautiously, squatted down in front of the coffin lid, turned the copper turntable slightly, and popped fingers one by one from the edge of the coffin lid. Long thin iron rod.
"What is this for?" Lin Xiao woke up Du Leding from his stupor.
Du Le Ding said in a trance: "This is... a device for unlocking the lock."
Lin Xiao walked to the coffin lid involuntarily, and said in surprise, "But the turntable is inside the coffin lid..."
He suddenly understood why Du Leding was so shocked.Even if the body was encoffined with the intention of a second burial, the unlocking device should be outside.And this copper turntable seems to be specially reserved for the corpse in the coffin.
"This must be Song Xiangqi's coffin," Lin Xiao said out of breath, "He may really have mastered the method of bringing the dead back to life, so he specially made such a coffin that can be opened from the inside as an experiment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Teng strangled his neck when Xunsheng approached him.Lin Xiao was shocked, but his reaction was also quite quick. When Du Le Ding rushed over, he grabbed a short arrow from his waist pocket, inserted it hard into the joint of the mecha joint, and released the electromagnetic force at the same time.
Su Teng's arm was a little loose, and he slipped away like a loach, trying to press the controller to detonate a few arrows standing on the "ice surface".Du Leding threw a punch, blood spattered three feet in front of his eyes, and the controller flew far away.
Lin Xiao kicked Du Leding over, and ran towards the controller like crazy. Du Leding chased him, pressed him to the ground, and strangled him tightly by the neck.
There was a crackling sound behind him, and Du Leding felt a chill in his heart. He didn't want to knock Lin Xiao unconscious first, but when he looked back, the icicle actually cracked.The crystal coffin swayed back and forth like a seesaw, without giving anyone a chance to breathe, it slid down with a bang, and was about to hit the "ice surface".
Duledin's breathing stopped, and he couldn't imagine the consequences of the cracking of the strange crystal under his feet, but he intuitively felt that the consequences would be very bad.
With a "boom", Du Leding's heart stopped beating, and the next second, he suddenly pumped his blood again and jumped up desperately.At the critical moment, Su Teng caught the crystal coffin.
Du Leding's knees softened, and he almost knelt down to Boss Su.He ran over overjoyed, wanting to give Su Teng a shocking hug.
There was a muffled sound in the distance, like a landslide, thunder, or a powerful explosion.The wind and snow stopped suddenly, just like Du Leding's footsteps suddenly stopped.After a second of dead silence, the ground seemed to have been severely injured, moaning and trembling quietly, a crack burst open on the "ice surface" with a "click", and bursts of purple-black smoke floated out like strands of hair.
Du Leding smelled the smell of death and saw Su Teng throw away the coffin and run towards him. The next moment, a purple-black wall of fire blocked his sight.The huge crystal fell apart, cracked and disintegrated, and in an instant, the purple fire with a strange and ominous color erupted from the ground, piercing the sky like a dragon, and raining fire like meteors.
The raging flames, the raging flames, everything in the world was engulfed by the purple fire, glaciers, ice valleys, ice fields, coffins, dark ghosts, and white monsters all disappeared.
