Backtracking [Infinite Stream]

Chapter 40 Returning to reality

Su stabilized his body. Fortunately, he had been trained. He adjusted his posture so that Chen Hui could lean firmly on his shoulder.

Feeling that the muscles were already very solid, Chen Hui subconsciously touched Su's arm a few times, and Su's arm became tense.

"Su."

"Huh?" Su was still obsessed with the captain touching his arm just now, a little distracted.

"It's okay, I just called you."

Su sat with Chen Hui for another ten minutes, and then Chen Hui got up and pulled Su up, "Okay, go back to sleep, we have to prepare tomorrow morning."

The two returned to the edge of the tent side by side, "Captain, good night."

"Good night."

Su watched Chen Hui enter the tent, he didn't know how he was feeling right now, after checking around again, Su returned to his tent to rest.

The tent is well-equipped, and what is missing can be delivered by someone. The treatment is good, but the price is also high. Su sighed, looking at the top of the tent, and began to feel sleepy.

In the early morning of the next day, almost all the team members got up, and they still needed to confirm the division of labor plan, so as to be more effective in what they need to do next.

This thing can never go wrong.

Chen Hui led the team back to the entrance of the third node cave under the leadership of the local guide.

After the team entered, as long as they didn't come out, the person in charge would always lead people to patrol the area and check their vital signs at any time.

Chen Hui took a flashlight and took a picture inside the cave. Except for some reptiles, there were no other strange things.

"Are you ready?"

The team members replied in unison: "Ready."

"Okay, let's go."

It was still Chen Hui and Su who took the lead, and the remaining four team members marched side by side in two groups, and no one team member could be left alone.

The sound of ticking ticking came from not far away, and the sound was very obvious in the silent cave. A cockroach jumped from the middle of the group, and on the other side, dozens of millipedes stayed quietly on the wall.

No one would want to touch these creatures. Chen Hui led the team deeper and deeper, but the black crystal did not respond, so he could only continue walking.

The terrain in the cave is very strange, and the team has to change formation from time to time to pass through the suddenly narrow opening. Moss and plants can be seen everywhere, and there are also nests of unknown animals.

The team moved forward quietly, except for the sounds that had to be made during the march, they did not make any conversation.

Without Chen Hui's order, they would not make any sound, even in such a special environment.

As they went deeper, the cave began to change into another appearance, the height began to increase, and the cave also became wider. During the period, they walked through a shallow pool of sewage, which smelled really bad, and everyone's expressions It's all ugly.

But they still have to go over, and they don't know what's in the water, so everyone can only move as fast as possible.

The more they walked, the more stuffy they were, and with the humid heat, everyone's foreheads were sweating. They finally reached a fork in the road, and there were two roads.

But according to the team that had entered the cave before, they did not find a fork in the cave.

It seems that only they can really enter the game area, or in other words, only black crystal carriers can enter the game.

Chen Hui chose the path on the left at random, originally thinking that if he chose the wrong way, or if the black crystal didn't respond, then they would go back.

However, as soon as they entered the road on the left, both the black crystal and the transparent crystal began to react violently.

However, there are walls on both sides, and the height is about four or five meters. Could it be that they still have to go to the top of the cave to see it?

"Everyone rest in place and check whether there are organs or abnormalities on both sides."

Chen Hui asked the team to stop and adjust on the spot, but no one dared to relax their vigilance. If they accidentally found the cultivation cabin and didn't know it, they would waste the 10 minutes before entering the game, and they would not be able to save Duan Yun upstairs.

The strange thing is that after entering the cave on the left, it seems that all the sounds from the outside world are blocked, and the sound of insects that has been echoing in the ear has disappeared. This phenomenon is very strange, and it also proves the specialness of this cave entrance. .

Chen Hui fixed the searchlight on the wall so that he could observe the entire entrance of the cave. He followed the entrance of the cave and probed deeper, but found nothing wrong.

He turned his head and found that Su had been standing still in one place. He raised his head and kept looking in one direction.

Chen Hui took down the searchlight and shone it in the direction Su was looking at. Su was looking at the top of the entrance of the cave, which was not far from the place they just stepped in.

"Captain, the height of this hole was less than 1.8 meters when I first came in, but after walking about five meters, its height suddenly became five or six meters, and, look there."

Su grabbed Chen Hui's hand and asked him to shine the light on the upper corner of the wall

"Captain, doesn't that look like a gap there?"

Chen Hui looked in the direction Su pointed, and there was a faint gap between the dark blue rock wall and the walls on both sides.

"You mean, there might be a node entrance behind this stone wall above us?"

Chen Hui observed carefully again, and other team members also gathered here. Finally, they found that the stone wallpaper above was indeed very suspicious.

Guo Zhi waved his fist, as if he had gathered a lot of strength, "Captain, let me hit the wall."

Chen Hui gave each teammate their own space to play. He and Su retreated a little behind, watching Guo Zhi smashing rocks, Nie Xiaozhou blasting with a laser gun, and Du Xinsheng directly threw a small bomb, shaking this section of the cave. for a moment.

Yu Sui had nowhere to play, so he had no choice but to back away. A large cloud of dust and gravel choked everyone up and covered their noses. When the top finally calmed down, everyone looked up.

Sure enough, behind this stone wall was the entrance to another road.

After the stone wall was cleared, Chen Hui saw that the thickness of the ground on this road was about ten centimeters. "Everyone, be careful when going up, it may collapse, and Guo Zhi, you should be more careful."

"Okay, captain, you guys go up first, and I'll go up last."

Because Guo Zhi is the heaviest, they are afraid that this road will be crushed, so everyone decided to go up first. Even if it is really crushed, other teammates can still pull Guo Zhi up.

Su moved his hands and feet, stepped on a raised part of the side stone wall and climbed to the top. He lifted himself up with his arms. He gestured OK, and then picked up the flashlight and took the lead to explore the rear.

Then came Chen Hui. He flipped up, and the team members flipped up one by one. Su briefly checked the back, "Captain, there is a hole in the back, it should be there."

"Okay, let's pick up Guo Zhi, then rest for 5 minutes, adjust the state, and complete everything in one go after entering."

Guo Zhi also rolled up, but fortunately, the place was still solid, and there was no dramatic scene like a collapse. Everyone hurriedly walked back and left this dangerous place.

In the end, they came to a dark hole. Maybe the countdown would start the moment they entered. In order for the operation to go smoothly, everyone rested in place.

Their boots are covered with foul-smelling sewage, and it becomes even more disgusting after it dries. Everyone can only ignore this as much as possible. Anyway, after entering the game, the whole body equipment will be replaced with new ones.

After everyone had a good rest, everyone started to prepare. Guo Zhi took out an iron rod and prepared to smash the cultivation cabin later, and so did the rest.

Chen Hui put the black crystal and transparent crystal in the most convenient pocket on his chest, and he must be quick later.

Su twisted his neck and wrist, and now he was the first one to go up, using the flashlight to see the trend of the hole, it was extending downward, so it would be easier to go down and save a little time.

This time they did not come one by one, but all went down together, and the entrance of the cave could only accommodate one person, so everyone lined up to enter one by one.

Su No. [-], Chen Hui No. [-], and the rest of the team members followed behind them one by one. They moved forward slowly, and some of them were already sweating nervously. This was their chance to save Duan Yunlou.

Success or failure depends on one action. Whether this guess can be established is related to the fate of their team.

"It's the end, captain. I'll jump down in one minute. I'll observe the environment inside first."

The countdown should start the moment they officially enter the node cave, so it is okay for them to be stuck at the exit to observe the environment inside.

Su took a flashlight and looked down. He could see that there were some gravel and some weeds on the ground below. "The height below is about two meters. Be careful when jumping off."

Chen Hui suddenly turned his head in doubt. He seemed to hear a sound, but it disappeared soon.

"Captain, I'm ready to jump."

"Three, two, one!"

Su jumped forward. Originally, the height of two meters was nothing to them, but the bad thing was that there were too many gravels and some dirt pits below, and Su felt bad the moment he stepped on the ground.

He stepped on a raised rock and sprained his ankle, but Su endured the pain by putting his hands on the ground and using his feet to clear the debris from below.

Chen Hui didn't know what happened below. After confirming that Su had landed, he also jumped down, stepped on the ground steadily, and then the two ran towards the cultivation cabin.

Chen Hui didn't know if she was overthinking, why she felt that Su's posture was a bit strange.

The rest of the team members jumped down one after another, and everyone was rushing to the cultivation cabin. Su quickly placed the strong flashlight on the wall, and Su took out black crystals and transparent crystals to test back and forth in the dozens of cultivation cabin containers.

The rest of the team members waited anxiously behind Chen Hui. The time passed by, but the third crystal still did not appear.

Chen Hui stood calmly in front of one of the containers and pasted the crystals on it. This one didn't respond, and neither did that one. Chen Hui's hands were already trembling slightly.

At this time, in another cultivation cabin, a faint light slowly glowed from its bottom, but it was not obvious.

However, it was still seen by other team members.

"Captain! Over there!"

As soon as the sound came out, Guo Zhi took the iron rod and smashed it up, and the warm liquid flowed out. Yu Sui reached into the container with one hand, grabbed the edge with the other hand, and poked down hard with the other hand.

He cooperated with his teammates and finally got the crystal!
