Chapter 526 Conch Gate
Through friends, this man found Clark’s mountaineering club and joined their group chat, saying there was a money-making job and asked them if they could take it.
Clark and the others have been here before, but have actually conquered the "Peak of Lost" and have also seen Angel Falls, thinking that this is a relatively safe route, and it is not difficult to take on this task.
Theoretically, their actions were indeed simple, because they thought that the other party had discovered ancient ruins like the Mayan pyramids, and as long as they overcome the natural environment, they could explore the secrets.
Like the archaeological team and the explorer of the previous generations, although they had fantasized about the hidden gold, silver and jewelry in the ruins, they were not sure after all. Perhaps it was just a ruin, and the research value was higher.
So they came with a traveling mentality, but they promised their employers not to tell others and act in the name of climbing a mountain.
Of course, they made a reservation in advance. If the treasure is found in the ruins, the employer will get half of it and they will share the remaining half equally.
The travel expenses are paid by the employer. If there is no treasure in the ruins in the end, they can also get a fixed reward. Many people will not refuse such a good thing.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. They found that someone was also coveting the remains. Fortunately, Clark took the lead to remove the machine parts on the door. She gave it to Louis and asked him to take it away quickly, so that the red-haired beauty could not open the door.
"Why?" Feng Yin asked when he heard this.
"Because she read the words on the door, it was a warning that opening the door would release a disaster, which was said to be a very terrible disease," Louis explained.
"Yes, Kara is worried that this is true. The ruins may be the place where the ancients store the bodies of infected people, and the place where all infected people are locked up." Jose added.
"Don't the red-haired beauty believe it?" I asked.
"No, no, she seems to be here to find this thing, so she must have no idea." Jose continued.
"Isn't it okay to open the door? What she wants is a virus, not a complete ruined building." Feng Yin said subconsciously, with a little bit of banditry in his tone. Then he realized something was wrong and quickly said seriously: "The bad guys do this."
Louis and Jose didn't notice anything wrong with her expression just now, and nodded together and said nodded.
"So, in order to prevent her from forcibly destroying the remains, we have to go back and stop her," said Louis.
Their mountaineering team is just for money, and the red-haired beauty is probably much more dangerous. Who is serious about digging for viruses? It is impossible to do good things if you dig it out?
Besides, their attitude and style do not look like members of the World Health Organization or CDC.
Louis said they would not allow red-haired beauties to do bad things. Since the ruins may be the place where the corpses are placed, there should be no treasure. After stopping the red-haired beauties, they would not open the door.
Feng Yin believed in him and was willing to help him. He even secretly gestured to me, asking me to take this opportunity to send a signal to my superiors.
I told her to be at ease, to come out for the first time to perform a mission, and to save her life first.
Feng Yin nodded and agreed to say that she knew and it was hard to explain that she would not let me go back.
If I take my subordinate who was on the mission for the first time, I will lose her life, and my newly established team will probably be cancelled immediately.
Jose didn't know that we were secretly communicating and urged me to find a place to hide and wait for them to come back to pick me up.
As soon as they walked away, I immediately started running and ran towards the direction of the road. Before, I followed Fengyin and adjusted my steps at her speed. Now I am left, I can finally run at full speed and exert my true strength.
Jiuwa and the others said that my strength increased dramatically, that's right. The three forces were subtly in my body, and they only added buffs to me, without any negative impact.
I was like a flash of lightning, my dynamic vision was completely up to par with it, my musculoskeletons were not discomfort, protested, the core was functioning normally, and there was no sign of overload.
When I ran to a place with a signal, I sent a message to my superiors and attached coordinates to report on our new discoveries.
In addition to the incident of a team looking for historical sites, I also reported it. The above reply said that people would be arranged to transport the corpses immediately. If the location is safe, just leave a positioning transmitter.
As for the historical sites, I will do whatever I want. Just be careful not to be infected and not let the virus leak out.
This is easy to deal with. If you solve the problem of red-haired beauties, the virus will not be released.
I turned back to the cave, buried the locator with dead leaves at the edge of the cave, and then went to the direction of the ancient monument to find someone.
It took three days to go back and forth. When I returned to the forest where Louis was rescued, no one was waiting for me, nor did Feng Yin leave a secret code, which means that no one had returned to this in the past three days.
Feng Yin agreed to stay, just to get me time to report the news. If she came back and had to leave, she would definitely leave a mark on the nearby trees.
Obviously, they didn't come back after leaving. There was almost no one passing by in this place. I was not going to wait, so I walked in the direction they said.
On the way, I found the mark left by Feng Yin. She thought about it carefully. I looked for it according to the mark left by her. After walking for an afternoon, I found the monument they mentioned.
That thing is like a conch, standing in the middle of the forest, and the surface of the conch is full of vegetation, so it is a green conch.
The bad thing is that the door at the bottom is already open, and some vines are blocking like door curtains, so if you just pass by, you will basically not find an open door there.
There are vines...the plants are still there, and it seems they have not opened the door by blasting.
I looked around the door and found a particularly sloppy mark, which should be Feng Yin was rushing to stay.
The red-haired beauty has a hostage with weapons. Under her coercion, if Louis and his friends fail to rescue, they can only follow one way.
I found some traces in the open space in front of the door. The ground was covered with wet mud and crumbled leaves. I saw some traces and blood, but there were no shells. The blood was splashing, not dripping, not flowing.
I picked up the blood-stained leaves and smelled them. It was not the smell of my tribe's blood, it was human blood.
I searched around the grass nearby but found no body. Judging from the traces, the injured or deceased were not dragged so far.
If Chen Qinghan were there, he would have been able to see the trajectory from these traces and infer the scene at that time. Unfortunately, there is no internet now, so I cannot ask him for help.
Another positioning device was buried next to the gate, and I touched the black and walked into the conch door.
"Oh yell... Is anyone?" The world behind the door was too quiet, without any sound, even in thought.
Walking in through the conch door is a downward spiral staircase. Every few sections you walk, you can see a square hole in the wall, which is a window.
There is no need to open windows in the soil for a building buried underground. I couldn't help but think that this place should have been on a high place, like the ice cream cone raised by the Statue of Liberty.
The window was built with stones, which confirms what Clark said, because the corpses infected with the virus were stored in a concentrated manner, the doors and windows of this place naturally had to be sealed.
I haven't encountered a virus that can infect me, so I don't have much psychological pressure to walk in such a place, I just want to rescue Fengyin and the people from the mountaineering team.
Walking down about three floors, standing at the entrance of the stairs, a corridor appeared in front of me.
"Fengyin?" I shouted softly, and the sound spreads, as lush as a ghost.
There are no corpses in the corridor, which means that the area where the corpses are stored has not yet reached. I can't tell whether to go left or right.
The corridor is two meters wide, with no road ahead, only two roads on the left and right, and there is no sight at a glance.
The trails and blood outside the conch door were very fresh, and they would not be able to come in for more than two hours. I was going to go left first and then right, so I walked towards the corridor on the left.
The underground was not ventilated. It was probably because they opened the door and it was windy for two days, so they waited until today to come in.
There are no other small animals here, and I don’t know if it is because of the virus. In short, this place gives me the feeling of being very "deathy".
The corridor is surrounded by bare stone walls, without any extra decoration or color.
The roots of the plant on the surface did not extend down, and there was nothing else except dust, and there was not even a spider web.
When Louis explained their purpose to us, he said that he had military experience and hoped that he would not brag and could hold on for a while and not rush to get a lunch box.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly looked back and looked behind me. For a moment, I felt something was behind me.
But when I looked back, I didn't see anything. Humans were prone to similar hallucinations in the dark environment. I didn't. I turned around and continued to walk slowly forward, waiting for the thing to approach again.
After walking a few steps, the feeling came again. This time I didn't look back, holding the handle of the hook stick in my hand. When the feeling was so strong that the alarm bell in my mind was howling, my body did not turn, I raised my hand and inserted it diagonally into the back of my head with the hook stick.
"Ahhhh--" A shrill scream exploded in my ears.
With a swing of the hook stick, he threw the pierced thing to the ground, and it turned out to be an albino fox.
The fox's left eye and brain were pierced through the hook and stick. He beat him in pain for a few times, and then he was completely silent.
If you say that this fox is not big, it is only the size of a Chihuahua. If you get bitten by it, I am fine, I am afraid it will be a problem, but I must not let it get close to me, because it is not an ordinary fox, it is a fox that has undergone surgery and has been plastic surgery.
It can also be said that it has been artificially modified, with an antenna inserted on its forehead!
It could not be the horns it grew on itself, because there are patterns on it and it is made of bronze. There is a gem the size of a soybean at the tip of the antenna, which looks strange. Although I don’t know what it is for, it’s right to be more careful.
The corridor is dark and the surrounding environment is gray. Even if it is small in size, its pure white fur has nowhere to hide in such a place. Why did I not find it when I looked back just now? I guess it was the antenna above its head that was causing trouble.
The fox died tragically, and suddenly something was added in the corridor. When I looked up again, I found that the corridor was full of people.
And they were full of dead people, with rags wrapped around them, like mummies in old horror games. I raised my hand to burn the closest to me, and it didn't feel right, so when they rushed up to try to dismember me, I didn't hide.
"Illusion." I sneered at it. The illusion cannot hurt people, but can only hurt the "god". To put it bluntly, it is to scare people and scare people to death.
I raised my hand to pull off the fox antenna on the ground, then cremated the fox corpse, put the antenna into the evidence bag, and put it into my backpack.
The illusion disappeared the moment the antenna was pulled out. I continued to move forward, thinking that it was indeed a modified fox, and it could release the illusion even after death.
It is said that foxes are the most confusing, and perhaps some people are inspired to create more powerful hallucinations by transforming them.
But I don’t know how many years the door has been closed, how long does the fox live? I haven’t noticed it, either there are foxes here, or the person who studies this thing has only started experimenting in the past decade.
I walked to the end of the corridor and saw a corner. It might still be the corridor when I turned around, but before I could turn around, a man suddenly rushed out and his fist hit me hard in the face.
I raised my arm to cover my face, took the punch with my forearm, grabbed the man's wrist with the other hand, twisted it outward, Kawa-
The person who came was twisted by me, but he didn't say a word and waved his other fist. The fist was blowing at me without reservation with strong wind. I did the same thing and broke his hands.
He couldn't use his fist, so he hit me with his arm, as if he didn't know the pain. I noticed something was wrong. I looked at the man's face and found a big hole in his neck, which was obviously a throat slit.
Such a large hole no longer bleeds and has not been bandaged, so the person in front of him should be a dead person.
But he acted flexibly, punched strongly, and his steps were not stiff, and he didn't look like he was dead.
When I looked at his outfit, I knew that he was the subordinate of a red-haired beauty. He probably had one of the blood stains outside the conch door.
I broke his limbs, and he fell to the ground, still not giving up, trying hard to remember to continue attacking me.
I stepped on his upper body and confirmed that his vital signs were indeed a dead person.
So I didn't think much about it. I have seen many dead people who can move with karma fire. After the small episode, I felt that I might have gone the right way, so I continued to move forward.
After turning four turns, I returned to the origin again, which means that the corridor is in a back shape, and there are no other forks, only one entrance and exit of the conch staircase.
But I didn't see Feng Yin and the others. There were two possibilities. One was that the passage was too short. They walked around and found nothing. Like me, so they stepped out and were escorted away by the red-haired beauty.
Second, there are hidden secret doors or forks in the corridor of Huizi, but I didn't find it.
I decided to walk around again and then carefully check every corner. I really couldn't find the fork, so I had to leave first and ask someone who understands to come and help.
At the first turn, a dead person jumped out and beat me up. This time I changed someone, but I was also from the team of red-haired beauties.
There was a bullet hole in the man's head, which was in the middle of his forehead, and shot at close range, but the diameter of the gun was small, so his face was still complete.
Chapter completed!
