withering day

Shui Hanjiang nodded, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed heavily into the gap between the green bricks with a sharp sword. There was no resistance at all, the dagger pierced in, and the whole brick became loose.Withdrawing the dagger, Shui Hanjiang's slender fingers clamped between the cracks in the green brick, and slowly pulled the green brick out.

Sure enough, there is a hidden compartment behind the blue brick, but the dark compartment is empty, with a red button, and nothing else.

"What! What the hell is this?" Shen Mingxi yelled with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't know what this button is for, do you want to press it and try?"

"It's not a trap, is it?"

"I guess it should be the door of the Chamber of Secrets..."

Everyone began to make wild guesses, and Han Mo and Shui Hanjiang didn't dare to press the button easily. If the button activated some bad device, they would be out of luck.

Suddenly, Shen Mingxi screamed: "Big man! What are you doing?"

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and just in time to see the burly Yan Wei pressing the red button with his hand.There was only a "click" sound, nothing happened, everyone stared at Yan Wei, but Yan Wei was a little puzzled, and said: "I saw a bug just now, and I was about to kill it..."

Everyone was speechless, but luckily nothing happened, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time wondered if this button was used for pranks.Just when everyone's hanging hearts were put down, a piercing sound of metal friction suddenly sounded, and a door suddenly opened on the ground that was originally a whole piece of metal, leading to a deeper underground layer. I can't see anything at all.

After looking at each other, they looked at Yan Wei again, who just scratched his head and laughed.

"Go down and have a look!" Han Mo said, he felt that there should be no danger down there.

Han Mo walked in front, Shui Hanjiang followed behind him, and everyone else followed into the underground passage. Everyone in the audience had a lamp, and when entering the passage, the space below was illuminated instantly. Bright.

Below is a small room of less than [-] square meters. Like the laboratory above, it is empty, except that in the center of this room is a glass container more than two meters long, which looks a bit like a coffin, and also a bit like a science fiction movie. Frequent biocompartments.

Seeing that there was no danger, Han Mo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and went down the stairs to the ground. The ground in the small room was different from that in the laboratory. It was made of earth, so it was very soft to step on; the surrounding walls were also It's all dirt, very rough, and not beautiful at all, but where the light doesn't shine, there are countless shining spots of light in the dirt, just like the dirt outside.

Approaching the glass container, Han Mo found that there was a puddle of green liquid in it, which was also empty and contained nothing, and this liquid, which had been stored for an unknown number of years, had no unpleasant smell at all, on the contrary it was a kind of green grass The breath is mixed with a variety of floral fragrances, which is extremely weird.

"Why do I feel that this is very similar to the biological cabin in the movie, or the dormant cabin." Xiang Xin said thoughtfully.

Han Mo shook his head. He didn't know about this, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell what was strange, but that feeling lingered in his heart and couldn't go away.

At this time, Shen Mingxi started yelling again: "Come on, come on, there is something on the wall here, but... who of you can decipher Yan Wenming's writing?" When Han Mo heard the sound, he saw Shen Mingxi There are many strange words on the wall, which are very similar to the murals in the palace outside, but for them, none of them can understand.

Han Mo put the lamp in his hand close to the wall, and saw the murals on it clearly. Compared with the ones seen in the palace before, the murals here are much better preserved, but the number is very small, there are only three in total.A painting of many people worshiping the central palace seems to be describing the scene of the heyday of civilization; a painting of a collapsed palace and corpses all over the ground, with blood all over the ground, seems to be telling the story of civilization turning to perish. Sadness; the last painting shows a few people sitting around a transparent container with their heads bowed, chanting scriptures and praying, and the transparent container on the way is exactly the same as the glass container in the secret room, except that there was a baby lying in the container at that time.

Except for these three pictures, the rest are incomprehensible ancient characters. None of the people present studied ancient Chinese, so naturally they couldn't decipher what was written on it.

"These words should describe the scenes in these three pictures," Han Mo guessed, "The first picture should be about the scene when the Yan civilization developed to its peak. The people who were worshiped in the palace were their beliefs." God; the second picture should describe the tragic situation when the disaster came, and the ruins we saw in the ruins may be the result of that disaster; the third picture... If it is true as Xiang Xin said, this container is As for the hibernation cabin, then Yan Wenming should use it to preserve the last incense, but where did the children in it go?"

"The Yan civilization has been cautious for tens of thousands of years, and even the dormant cabin can't keep that child alive for so long!" Gu Changxi analyzed.

"But there's nothing inside. Even if the child dies inside, there should be some bones left." Shen Mingxi shook his head.

"Things are really getting more and more confusing. Let's wait for Wang Ziwen and the others to come back. They should be able to decipher these words, and then maybe they will know what's going on." After there was nothing else, everyone withdrew and returned to the laboratory.

So far, it has been nearly an hour since Wang Ziwen left, but there is still no news, and everyone can't help but worry.In the huge dark space, only the ruins have light, and the rest of the place is dark, and nothing can be seen, which always gives people a feeling of depression.

This place is obviously underground, and logically it should be a place where the air circulation is extremely difficult, but everyone can still feel a gust of cold wind blowing, and goose bumps on their bodies.Han Mo didn't speak, just approached Shuihanjiang, bumped into him lightly intentionally or unintentionally, that feeling suddenly reappeared, throbbing like a hunter in the dark staring at his prey.

"Ahem, ahem..." Jiang Xiaoxue's cough suddenly became severe.

Han Mo ran over quickly, and was startled when he saw it. Jiang Xiaoxue's face was abnormally pale and bloodless, and her body was trembling while hugging herself. He could hold her body tightly, trying to warm her up.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, just now Xiaoxue has become like this..." Xiang Xin said nervously.

Han Mo grabbed Jiang Xiaoxue's hand, and found that the black thread that originally only appeared on the fingertips had spread to the second joint of the finger, and even the nails were already black, which looked really scary.Seeing this scene, Han Mo's face became gloomy. He had already predicted that the speed of withering would accelerate.

"How is it? Can you still hold on? No, we will send you up to rest."

Slowly relieved, Jiang Xiaoxue looked at her palm, gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, I can do it, I can hold on! I don't want to just admit defeat, I want to save myself!" Not only Han Mo, but everyone else They were all shocked, and Jiang Xiaoxue's belief seemed stronger than anyone else's.

"Okay, don't hold on, if you feel really bad, just tell us, it's okay, don't forget, we are a team!"

"That's right, Xiaoxue, don't hold on. Only by taking care of your body can you fight against fate!" The others said one after another.

In the absence of Wang Ziwen and Jiang Xiaoxue's physical problems, no one dared to go far, so they could only talk about the situation around the laboratory. Suddenly, a few lights flickered in the darkness in the distance. I am quite excited to tell everyone that it should be Wang Ziwen and the others who are approaching.

"boom"

A gunshot made everyone nervous. What happened to Wang Ziwen and the others?Why did you suddenly shoot?Have you encountered any danger?Different thoughts but the same thought arose in everyone at the same time.Shen Mingxi climbed to the roof of the laboratory, looked at the lights in the distance, and found that those lights were scattered and running in different directions, and some even got farther and farther away from the ruins, disappearing into the darkness.

"What's going on?" Everyone began to panic.

"Everyone, don't panic. We're still safe here. If it doesn't work, we'll hide in the lab. Now we'll wait and see." Shui Hanjiang said calmly.

After the gunshot, there was no other movement. Shen Mingxi was on the roof of the laboratory, paying close attention to the distant lights. Except for some scattered lights, the other lights accelerated towards the ruins. near.After more than ten minutes, he saw a group of people finally arrived within the light range of the ruins. All of them were out of breath and continued to run towards the laboratory without stopping.

Just when Shen Mingxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge black shadow chased into the range of the light. That black shadow seemed to be twice the size of those people. The black hair all over his body was dancing loosely as he ran, and his scarlet His eyes were gloomy, waiting for the fleeing person in front, sharp teeth were exposed in his wolf-like pointed mouth, and sticky saliva was swaying in the wind.

"Monster...monster!" Shen Mingxi shouted towards the bottom.

"What?" Han Mo and the others were startled, and Shui Hanjiang was the quickest to react and let everyone enter the laboratory to hide.

"How far are they?" Han Mo asked.

"About a few hundred meters." Shen Mingxi replied nervously.

"Come down too, go in first!"

Shen Mingxi jumped down from the roof, and when he was flying in the air, he happened to see that among the group of people in the distance, the last person who was running was caught up by the black monster, knocked him to the ground, and opened his mouth towards that person's head. The neck shook, and the sharp teeth easily tore open the man's neck. There was a scream, and blood gushed out for a while, and the man twitched a few times and stopped moving.

Perhaps because of being frightened, when Shen Mingxi landed, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.

"Dead, dead..."

"Come in!" Han Mo quickly helped him up and let him enter the laboratory.

Just when he and Shui Hanjiang were about to enter the laboratory to hide, the group of scientific researchers finally ran over, and shouted at Han Mo and the others while running: "Run! There are monsters!"

"We can't run against them, come in and hide!" Han Mo beckoned them to hide in.

The leader also thought about it, how could their group of people outrun the monster with amazing physical strength and speed, now it is the most correct to find a place to hide, so they all rushed into the laboratory without hesitation.In the direction where those people were fleeing, Han Mo saw a black monster chasing up, with blood still dripping from his mouth, he felt trembling all over his body, Shui Hanjiang pulled him past him and hid in the laboratory, and put the iron in the laboratory The door was closed heavily.

Everyone in the laboratory heard the rumbling outside getting closer and closer, and finally the iron door was smashed and roared. Fortunately, the iron door was half a finger thick, no matter how hard the monster smashed the door, it couldn't be opened. In the end, as long as they gave up, left.

"It should be safe here?" Shen Mingxi swallowed.

The scientific researchers who escaped all the way sat on the ground panting. They didn't like sports very much and tried their best to escape, and now their faces were paler than Jiang Xiaoxue's.A middle-aged man in the lead was in better condition. He took a sip of water and said, "It should be no problem. The walls of this laboratory are half a meter thick, and they are all made of high-strength reinforced concrete. Those monsters can't break through..."

"Those? How many are there?" Han Mo and Shui Hanjiang looked at each other. This is not good news.

"I don't know, we saw three of them, they have been chasing us, and the remaining two should be chasing other people..."

Shen Mingxi almost jumped out and grabbed his collar, but was stopped by Han Mo, who said angrily, "Didn't you say that no signs of life were found? Where did those monsters come from?"

The faces of those scientific researchers were also not good-looking: "We don't know either, we have never encountered them before, who would have known that they would pop out suddenly..."

Everyone's expressions were very heavy. They had expected that this operation would not be so simple, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"What should we do now?" Han Mo was also very nervous, after all, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

"Is there a way to contact the ground?" Shui Hanjiang asked.

Those scientific researchers all shook their heads and said, "No way, I don't know what happened today. The electromagnetic interference underground is very serious, and the signal can't be transmitted at all. I was stuck in the elevator for more than half an hour before."

"Where's Wang Ziwen?" Gu Changxi asked suddenly.

"That's right, isn't Ziwen with you? Why didn't you see him?"

Han Mo and the others' complexions darkened, with a bad feeling, he replied: "We waited for you here before but never got it, and then Wang Ziwen said to look for you, didn't you meet?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No, we have been in the elevator waiting for the staff above to repair it. After the elevator restarted, we waited for another group of people to come down, but we didn't see Ziwen coming back...maybe..." said At this point, he dared not say any more.
