Chapter 336(1/2)
The ancient city completely disappeared from our sight, replaced by an endless desert. Ou Chen and Wuyou never appeared again. When we were resting on the edge of the collapsed and flattened area, I deliberately observed whether the sand had changed, but not.
When the ancient city collapsed, groups of birds rushed into the sky, and there was a huge crowd, but no two-headed wolf was seen, which made me even more suspicious that something was useless.
Huang Zaijiang and Mr. Tang were frustrated on the cart, and a layer of sweat oozed out of Huang Zaijiang's forehead.
But at least his life was saved. Dr. Du observed the surrounding environment and said that although the ancient city was gone, the core transformation and impact on animals and plants did not disappear.
Now she is sure that the root cause of the material changes in this area is the core. This influence and transformation are different from the black handprints of the evil spirits. They are similar to radiation and will not disappear with the disappearance of the core.
But if they will stop transforming without the continuous radiation from the core, it will take a long time to see whether they will be transformed.
At least we are still full of dangers when walking in it. After the team rested for a while, Chen Qinghan called everyone to get up and continue walking.
It is not safe to stay in an open area that is unblocked for too long, whether it is day or night.
The entrance to the underground transportation line was buried in sand, so we couldn't take the train, so we could only hike back.
Chen Qinghan discovered six rut marks, which should have been left by the Bishi team. They could drive in directly, and the strength of both sides immediately appeared.
It just happened to prove that I was not lying. I was the only one at that time and I would definitely not be able to beat the other party.
Not to mention that I am the only one, even if the elderly, weak and disabled people in front of me will be in vain.
After returning, not only Chen Qinghan reported, Dr. Du and others also had to report. They could prove to me that giving up the core is a helpless move.
As for whether Chen Qinghan will hand over the crystal, it will be up to him to consider it. In short, the core and light group cannot be taken away by Bishi. Their crazy women hold too many things in their hands that can cause trouble. Don’t do something big one day and end up not being able to stop it.
After the death of the Big Heads, the illusions they created had disappeared, the hallucinations that Mike was worried about did not appear, there was no hallucination crisis, and all we need to face was the natural environment.
The clouds in the sky dissipated, and the scorching sun burned the vast desert. We found a rock to hide from the harsh sun.
The communication signal has been restored, but we only have two walkie-talkies left, and Mike's satellite phone is lost in the underground drainage channel.
Chen Qinghan's satellite watch is still usable, but the main crisis has passed. We are back and we are not losing our way, so we don't need satellite positioning.
Brother Gu asked Miss Tang what the master was. Miss Tang said that before they found the light group, the master left the team. He said he would go and lead the beast that had been following them all the time.
Miss Tang and others hid in a building, and later others were photographed with black handprints one after another. Miss Tang secretly hid in the drainage ditch and was trapped inside, but instead found her father.
They were all in the drainage ditch. Isn’t there a place where the evil spirit territory?
What Chen Qinghan and the others fell was the drainage ditch passage, and then the evil spirit filled the entrance of the passage, making me unable to go down, which means that the drainage ditch was not safe.
Brother Gu had seen manhole cover swallowing people, so he had the same questions as me and asked them.
Ms. Tang said that the passage below was well connected and there was a very safe place. Mr. Tang, whom she found there, was also hiding there these days.
Brother Gu asked again, how did Mr. Tang find that safe house? When he asked, it seemed that it was purely out of curiosity.
But I, who knows that he has another identity, always feels that he is talking about it.
Mr. Tang was not injured, but he had been trapped underground for so long, unable to see the sun, lacked food, and was malnourished, and he was like a wilted plant. Fortunately, his mental state was quite normal and he had not lost the ability to communicate with people.
But when it comes to his experience, it is a "long story". He can't tell us what he can do. It involves a confidentiality agreement.
He only said that someone had instructed him where he was safe. He found a underground space as the man said, and the place he said was the museum mentioned by Chen Qinghan.
No need to ask, the person who told him the location must be Ou Chen. After I came out, I remembered that he still had something to us, that old letter.
Both Wuyou and Ou Chen knew where the "safe house" in the center of the city was, but Mr. Tang encountered Wuyou, and the possibility of getting news from her was slightly lower. The two-headed wolf's nest was not so easy to get.
Brother Gu asked what the man looked like. Mr. Tang’s description was exactly in line with Ou Chen. He said that Ou Chen had also asked him to destroy the core, but Mr. Tang was powerless and it was not easy for him to persist in living to this day.
As for his colleagues, most of them died in an accident, and the survivors also died one by one in the following days.
Why is only Mr. Tang hiding in the museum and saving his life?
He said that there were seven people hiding with him, some of whom could not help but wait for death, and some of them attacked each other because of a knife killing a cookie.
Mr. Tang had a long-lasting idea at that time, and he hugged in the corner without eating or drinking to wait for death.
It was Ou Chen who brought him food. When he woke up, he was the only living person left in the museum.
After hearing Ou Chen's words, he thought of his daughter, and gritted his teeth and persevered.
The food found by Ou Chen is definitely not a delicious dish. Mr. Tang has a pale face and thin skin and thin hair.
We have seen his photos before we came. The photos were taken before he disappeared. At that time, he was a spiritual master. His head was dyed or natural black hair, which was particularly thick.
A person in his fifties looks only in his forties and has a gentle temperament, and he is obviously a cultural person.
I am afraid that the only ones who can live and become brighter in the dark underground world are me and Poison Mushroom.
Although Mr. Tang didn't have much information to disclose, he confirmed that when they came to participate in a plan, the ancient city was indeed underground and had not yet floated up.
Mike was concerned about who initiated the plan. He told Mr. Tang that he didn't have to say the specific name, just tell him that it was organized by Kangaroo Country.
Mr. Tang nodded, that is to say, Kangaroo Kingdom had known the existence of the ancient city, and even the Cowboy Hat and Ou Chen might have sent them to take the lead, so the Cowboy Hat didn't care about Mike's threats.
The matter was messed up, and they sent people in to settle the matter one after another, but a lot of people were sent in, and finally the light ball was taken away by Bishi.
Mike's anger was written on his face, but he couldn't bear it, but what if he knew it was his own thing?
I believe that few people will not send people to investigate when they know that there is a mysterious power hidden in their country. No one wants to find new energy and mysterious power.
It’s just that the bamboo basket is empty, which is the most annoying.
There is nothing I can do about this. I got the crystal at the risk of losing my life. I will not give it to outsiders, but only to insiders.
Mr. Tang said that he did not know at first that the plan was Kangaroo Country, and he didn't know where the destination was when he boarded the plane.
After resting and replenishing food, the team members were in a better condition and had the strength to speak, sitting around the rock cave to chat.
Dr. Du checked the stones in the cave and found no mutated corpses. We used to avoid several camping sites on the ground because we were riding a small train underground.
I couldn't avoid it when I returned, but fortunately the first camping site was safer.
Wang Le woke up from a coma, and the black handprints had disappeared, and the memories he had when he was controlled also disappeared.
So he didn't remember lying to touch the crystal stone, nor did he remember the existence of the crystal stone.
I said lightly and said that he called me in the light group and deceived me into the light group.
Wang Le felt very guilty and felt that he almost killed me. He hoped that I would beat him up and vent my anger.
I waved my hand quickly. If I beat him up, it would not be venting my anger, but I would have paid my life. I was not dead and I didn't need him to pay my life.
Seeing that I refused to beat him, Wang Le said that he owed me a favor and he would pay it back if he had the chance in the future.
Frontline fieldwork like them have experienced too many experiences in helping each other and killing each other. I think he is not so polite to Huang Zaijiang. Perhaps it is because it is our first time working together that we are resentful about this kind of thing.
He took the initiative to say that he owed me a favor, so I naturally "accepted it". He knew that I had a breakfast shop and might be a regular customer in the future.
Brother Gu whispered to me that he also owe me a favor and met patient No. 37 in the power supply room. If he hadn't been me, he would have been unable to survive.
When I heard this, I found it interesting. Later, he saw the body of patient No. 37. Judging from his expression and attitude at that time, he did not know that he had killed patient No. 37 himself.
In other words, he did not have the memory of "being possessed" by patient No. 37, or in other words, he did not fight with the other party and killed him.
I stared at Brother Gu for a few seconds. He seemed to be furious by me. Chen Qinghan kicked me gently, and I hissed, turned my head and glared at him.
"You scared me." Chen Qinghan said with a serious face.
"What are you scaring? I'm not a laser eye. Cyclops. You can see a hole in his head if you look at it!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I... have any problems?" Brother Gu touched his face.
"Well... the problem is big." I frowned, with a bad expression.
"Ah?" Brother Gu immediately became nervous and wanted to look for a mirror, but unfortunately there was nothing at hand that could be used as a mirror.
"It's useless to take a look. You can't see it, and the master won't show his appearance." I grinned, and Brother Gu saw that I was teasing him and didn't look for a mirror anymore.
"Oh, don't make fun of me." Brother Gu smiled helplessly.
"No, I dare not take favors. That woman was not something I suppressed, but you, I can only be regarded as an eyewitness."
It really surprised me that he suddenly appeared here. I thought he ran away, regardless of life or death, he was on the way out of the city.
Unexpectedly, he came to the city center, and I stared at him alertly because he might also be disguised by evil spirits.
Seeing that I was not moving, Brother Gu suddenly turned around and lifted his clothes to expose his back, which scared me. He thought it was not good. In broad daylight, although there was no sun, he should not look at it.
Well...but Brother Gu has practiced his back muscles well, and he may be a training student.
"Come here quickly, there are no handprints, I'm not possessed!" He raised his voice a little.
Oh... It turns out that he wanted me to see that there were no handprints on his back, and if there were handprints, it would be like being possessed?!
I walked over quickly, and he signaled me to hide in the shadow of the building. I squatted down and hid my body. Looking at the empty streets, I didn't know who he was guarding against. Can he see the evil spirits in the building?
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"No one can get out without destroying the core." Brother Gu looked at me, as if he believed that I knew the existence of the ‘core’.
"Who are you talking about the core?" I wondered, didn't he say that Miss Tang and the non-human team excluded them, how could he tell him the ultimate goal?
"I didn't tell the truth before. I had a boss. She hired me to join Miss Tang's team and asked me to find opportunities to grab the core."
"Hey, you are still an undercover agent. Who is your boss? Is it easy to name it?"
"inconvenient."
"Then have you seen my teammates? They flipped over in front of me... less than three seconds apart."
