withering day

Chapter 19

At this time, the lights in the laboratory flickered, and the light suddenly dimmed a lot, which shocked everyone.

"No, the power supply system here is disturbed. Maybe all the lights here will go out in the near future. It's really bad luck. Why does such a thing happen?" a scientific researcher complained.

Everyone's heart sank.Shui Hanjiang thought for a while, and then asked the leader, "How many guns do you have?"

"Not much. It was just for simple self-defense. I was the only one who carried one. There were not many bullets. There were about ten rounds. A few rounds were used just now, and now there are seven or eight rounds left."

"We can't wait to die here..."

"You mean, rush out?" Han Mo froze for a moment.

"Well, we have to go back to the elevator before the power cuts off, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to go out when the power goes out here." Shui Hanjiang said unhurriedly.What he said is indeed good. Although the attacks of those monsters can be avoided in the laboratory, there is not much food on them. Once the power supply system breaks down, the elevator will stop working. When the time comes, the staff above will have to fix it. how long.

"Okay, get ready and return immediately." The middle-aged man also agreed with Shui Hanjiang's approach.

The scientific researchers who had just run all the way began to rest and recover their strength. Shen Mingxi opened the door of the underground secret room and said, "Since time is running out, hurry up and help someone decipher the text below to see what is written on it. Are there any of us?" clues needed."

"The secret room?" The middle-aged man was surprised.

Han Mo also reacted, and immediately asked: "We accidentally discovered that there is a secret room under this laboratory, and there are some relatively well-preserved murals and texts in it, but we can't understand them, who among you can understand Yan?" Civilized ancient text, please help me translate it."

Among the more than ten scientific researchers, only one who looked relatively young raised his hand and said, "I can probably understand some of it, but I can't fully understand it..."

"Okay, it's you, time is running out, my life is at stake, come with me quickly." Shen Mingxi pulled the researcher past him and went into the underground secret room.The other people were also extremely curious, but due to physical reasons, especially if they had to run away desperately later, they stayed where they were to recover their strength.

Time passed little by little, and there was no movement outside the laboratory. It seemed that the monster had completely left.Shui Hanjiang carefully opened the door with a small gap, and looked at the situation outside. It was very quiet in the ruins. Except for some traces and footprints on the ground outside the laboratory, everything else returned to calm.

Han Mo also came over, looked outside carefully, and seriously felt the atmosphere outside. The feeling of being stared at disappeared, and there seemed to be no danger.

"I don't feel anything wrong, I should have really left..." Seeing Shui Hanjiang's gaze, Han Mo said softly.

Not long after, Shen Mingxi and the young researcher came up from the underground secret room. Shen Mingxi was cursing, and the researcher also looked helpless. Everyone looked at them, wondering what they had discovered.

"This guy can't understand..." Shen Mingxi sighed.

"It's not that I don't understand!" the researcher retorted, "It's just that I can't fully understand it. It probably means that a disaster strikes one day at the peak of civilization and the world is destroyed. In the middle, when the disaster is over, the last Son of God will wake up and rebuild civilization."

"Isn't this the same as Xiao Mo's deduction?" Shen Mingxi shouted.

"It seems that there are still no clues... Don't worry about this much, the most important thing is to survive now. There should be no danger outside, but I don't know where those monsters are going. Get ready, everyone, and we will rush to the elevator as fast as possible. "Han Mo said to the crowd while arranging his backpack.

There was a constant coughing sound, Xiang Xin patted Jiang Xiaoxue's back, and said worriedly: "I don't know if Xiaoxue can hold on like this..."

"I, I'm fine..." Jiang Xiaoxue became weaker again.

"Let me carry you!" Han Mo walked over, squatted down in front of Jiang Xiaoxue, and motioned her to lie on his back.

Shui Hanjiang wanted to stop him and replace him, but was rejected by Han Mo, because Shui Hanjiang's physique can be said to be the best among everyone except Yan Wei, and his thinking and adaptability are higher than Yan Wei's , once any accident happens, it can be said that it is all up to him.

Everyone opened the door of the laboratory completely, and the ruins outside were very calm. Due to a problem with the power supply system, all the lights in the ruins were much weaker, and the lights in some places were even turned off.They didn't dare to stay longer, a group of people surrounded Han Mo and Jiang Xiaoxue, then rushed out of the ruins as fast as possible, and ran towards the elevator.

After leaving the ruins, the darkness engulfed everyone immediately. The lamps in their hands had sufficient power, but the range of illumination was not very large, and they could only illuminate the surrounding area two or three meters away. The danger they could not have foreseen.Han Mo walked among the crowd with Jiang Xiaoxue on his back, paying attention to the surrounding environment from time to time, and if there was any change, he would immediately inform everyone.

The journey seemed a bit too smooth, knowing that the lights of the ruins disappeared, no one encountered that black monster, and Han Mo didn't feel the danger approaching.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, Han Mo finally felt something strange, a chill came down his back, and even Jiang Xiaoxue noticed it.

"Be careful, everyone, there might be something staring at us!" Han Mo reminded in a low voice.

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't seem to believe it. Only Shui Hanjiang paid close attention to the movement around him. He had already taken the gun from the middle-aged man. He only had seven bullets. It can be said that he was very nervous. It cannot be wasted at will.

"There is blood on the ground!" Jiang Xiaoxue's voice was weak, but everyone still heard it.

Looking down, there was indeed a puddle of inexplicable liquid on the ground, and the sweet smell that emanated proved that it was a puddle of blood.Around the blackened bloodstains, there were still some fragments of cloth strips. These fragments were tattered, as if they had been bitten by something.Going forward, a white bone appeared in front of everyone, with unfinished flesh and blood on it.

As powerful as Shui Hanjiang felt a little nauseated, he turned his eyes away and walked around the bone.

Those scientific researchers looked pale, suppressed their tears and stopped looking at it. What is certain is that this is their companion, who has been buried in this hellish space.Encountering this scene, everyone's nerves are extremely tense, because it turns out that danger is around them, in the invisible darkness.

Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, everyone moved forward for more than ten minutes, but they did not see the elevator. According to the previous distance, they should be able to see the lights around the elevator here, but now not only the elevator is missing See, the lights are even more gone.

"Are you sure you didn't go the wrong way?" Shen Mingxi asked.

"It's not wrong. I've been here hundreds of times, and I can find the direction with my eyes closed." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"But why can't I find the elevator now?"

"Maybe... I hope it's not that the power supply system has collapsed. If so, I'm afraid it will be too late to return to the ruins." The middle-aged man's face was very ugly, and he had already prepared for the worst.

"Look, ahead, I see lights!" Lu Liangqian cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked forward, and sure enough, there was a light flickering far in front of them, and everyone suddenly became motivated, looking at the direction of the light and moving forward at a high speed.

The further he walked, the more Han Mo felt that something was wrong. He looked up at the flickering lights in front of him, and then at the dark underground space behind him. A chill rose from the soles of his feet and went straight into his brain. Time made his scalp numb, and his whole body seemed to be covered with ants biting.

Suddenly, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "No! We went wrong!"

Everyone also stopped and looked at him, not understanding what he was talking about. The lights were right ahead and they were about to reach the elevator leading to the ground. Why did they suddenly say they were going the wrong way?The middle-aged man said: "Impossible, it is impossible for me to not know the way, and there is the light of the elevator in front, so it is impossible to go wrong!"

"Look at your feet," Han Mo's voice became more and more serious, "I still remember when we first came in, all the way to the ruins, the soil and rocks on the ground were black, but there were always some strange shining spots inside. Now look at it..." Everyone lowered their heads involuntarily when they heard the words, the soil and gravel under their feet were not black, but white like marble, and there was no shimmering light inside, all of which had a rough texture .

"But there is a light ahead..." Everyone was caught in a tangle.

"The one in front should be the lamp left by the companion who was separated from you... As for the elevator, maybe we have missed it a long time ago, and the power supply system has stopped working long ago!" Shui Hanjiang said amazingly, but no one dared to deny it , although none of them want to believe it.

They are trapped in the underground space at a depth of [-] meters, and they are also with those unknown monsters!

"Let's go over and have a look." Shui Hanjiang said calmly.

Everyone has no choice but to sit still and wait to die. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, it is still worth fighting for.They continued to walk forward, the closer they got to the light, the more hopeless they felt, and when they were nearly a hundred meters away, they were finally disappointed. Just as Shui Hanjiang guessed, it was just the same light as in their hands Throwing it on the ground was not the light of the elevator.

Slowly approaching, there is a strong smell of blood in the air, and there is also a stench. The scene can be imagined. The girls avoid it one after another and dare not look at it. flesh and blood and a broken bone.The blood hadn't dried up yet, and the edge of the pool, which was bright red under the light of the lamp, was already turning black.

There is no head on the skeleton. It should have been taken away by a man-eating monster. Next to the skeleton and flesh and blood, there is a torn backpack. The tools and instruments inside are also dilapidated. A blood-soaked nameplate reads a The vague name may not be clear to Han Mo and the others, but it is very familiar to those scientific researchers.

They just clenched their fists, but there was nothing they could do.The crowd didn't stay here much, they walked around the pool of flesh and blood, hoping to find some place to hide.

As the road went farther and farther, the ground under their feet changed again, the white soil and rocks turned green, and there was a vague stench, Han Mo frowned even deeper, thinking that they could not be Go to the monster's lair by yourself.The sense of crisis is still there, but there is no real danger, nor does the dark monster appear.

"Zizz..." A strange sound came, and the middle-aged man was a little ecstatic, and took out the communicator that he thought was invalid.

After a long burst of electric current, the other end of the communicator became quiet. The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, and then said to the communicator: "Call the headquarters, call the headquarters, please answer if you receive it!" But no one responded, The other end of the communicator was still very quiet.

"Is it not connected?" The middle-aged man looked at the communicator the size of a mobile phone. The signal light on it was green, indicating that it had been connected.

"Call the headquarters! Call the headquarters! This is Luo Zhan, the captain of the third team, please answer!"

Still no one responded, and the researchers looked at each other in blank dismay. Since the communicator was connected, why did no one answer?

Just when everyone was disappointed, there was finally a breath from the communicator, and everyone was ecstatic, especially the middle-aged man Luo Zhan, who said again: "Call the headquarters! Call the headquarters! Please answer if you receive it!" The question of people's doubts appeared again. The sound that came out of the communication was still just the sound of breathing, and no one spoke.

"What's going on, what are these people doing? Life and death are at stake..." Luo Zhan was a little angry.

"Luo, Captain Luo..." Finally, a man's voice came from the communicator, but the voice sounded weak and flustered.

"What happened? Why didn't you answer?" Luo Zhan yelled.

"You, you, little, little, be careful..." Finally, there was a scream, the communication was cut off, and the only thing left was a series of electric sounds.

Luo Zhan's back was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't know whether it was a prank or something unknown had really happened. In short, he felt a chill down his back now, and his whole body shook a few times involuntarily.After that, the communicator seemed to be completely broken, the signal light did not light up again, and the sound of the current could not even be heard.

"What should we do now?" Everyone was even more frightened.

Shui Hanjiang and Han Mo could barely maintain their composure, Shui Hanjiang sighed, and said: "There is no way, we can only continue to move forward, or go back, but no one can return to the ruins by going back. I don’t know, and I don’t even know where to go forward.”

"Go forward! I always feel that the front is safer than the back!" Han Mo said.

The others didn't speak, and they didn't know what to do. In the end, they had no choice but to agree with Han Mo's statement and move on.In fact, Han Mo didn't say this to comfort them. He really felt that since he set foot on this green land, the danger in the dark suddenly weakened a lot, and there might be hope for moving forward.
