Chapter 93 The Slate Above
For twenty-four hours a day, the witch hunter team stopped and stopped on this vortex staircase, took turns to sleep and rest, and then advanced, slowly approaching the ground position above 5,000 meters.
There are still many military compressed biscuits, but the clean water was consumed 11 hours ago. Everyone began to drink the water that medical staff had washed their hands before the surgery. If the water contained any irresistible germs, they might have been infected.
Lin Mo was always carried by the team members on stretchers; Lou Xiaoning walked by himself, but he still could not hold a gun or take other weapons.
The higher they climbed, the narrower the space around them, and in the end, there was only less than one meter left between the stairs and the circular stone wall, and they seemed to be sandwiched in the belly of the beast.
And it felt like the whole staircase was shaking, and everyone could even hear the clattering sound similar to the vibration of the wooden staircase.
This is not like their illusion, because the stone stairs and stone walls are getting fewer and fewer dark red fine lines, but there are some spider-like cracks. It is obvious that the vitality on it is getting worse and worse, and it seems that it will collapse at any time.
In the strange eternal period, even death can be annihilated. Gu Jun remembered the words of the Arab madman, and these stones are dying, vanishing, and annihilated.
When it was hundreds of meters above the ground, the atmosphere of the team was already very depressed, because everyone's physical strength and spirit were exhausted to a certain extent. The scalp was tight, the bones all over the body were soft and numb, and the mouth was irritated due to lack of water, and the lips were full of chapped dander.
And the damn circumcision staircase under your feet has not yet reached its end.
This physiological state breeds a sense of turmoil, and even the strongest will, it is constantly eroded by it.
It is true that the Witch Hunter Squad is a mobile task force of the Dongzhou Branch, but it is the first time that it has experienced such an abnormal space and such a dilemma that is so devouring to one's mind.
The higher you go up, the less you are.
At this time, there was another cold situation. Xue Ba saw it with a night vision telescope. There was a top above, blocking the way, but...
"Ajun, look." Xue Ba looked at it for a while, then gave the telescope to Gu Jun next to him.
Gu Jun took the telescope and looked at it. The gyro stone staircase led to a stone platform, and there was no way to go up. However, the top was less than one meter above the platform, and it was also a stone connected to the surrounding area. However, there was a piece of obviously different thing just above the platform, like a thick stone slab or a top door.
The bottom of the stone slab was full of strange patterns, which looked artificially carved, in the shape of various flowers...
Gu Jun suddenly remembered Shar City, the hometown of Peyani, the "hometown of flowers", which should have the scenery of Shar City on the stone slab.
But the more he looked, the more he became a little more moved, and there was a sense of illusion in his tired head... Can there be illusions here trigger it?
But after a while, the feeling failed to take shape, but it only aggravated the messy mind.
There are no different texts, no locks, or other devices on the slab, but there are extremely tiny cracks on the edges of it, which seem to be able to be pushed open.
"Captain Xue, I didn't find anything special." Gu Jun returned the telescope to Xue Ba, "But I feel that there is an exit there."
Xue Ba nodded and asked the other team members to see too.
Soon, everyone understood what was going on. If you want to go out, you have to break the blockage. Can you blow it up with a C-4 or a micro missile?
"Can't explode." Lin Mo opposed when he heard this. He was much more energetic now and there were no symptoms of parasite residues. "The stone slab is too close to the stairs! Even if the control is accurate, the shock wave will affect the stairs and the gravel will be pressed down. If this stone staircase collapses like that, we will fall for several thousand meters."
"I don't think I can't explode." This time Gu Jun shook his head, because he could feel the fragility of the surrounding stones, which was worse than the broken dead trees.
"Go up and take a look first." Xue Ba led the assault team to reach several steps below the platform at the end, only half a hand away from the stone slab.
Sure enough, the shaking feeling became stronger, and the cracks on the stone were even bigger, but it still interrupted the light outside...
They first pushed the stone slab hard with their guns, and there was no movement. Then they pushed the left and the right, and it seemed that the movement was particularly strong to push the left.
"Let's try pushing it with your hands." Xue Ba said. In this case, it can make things better with your hands.
Now the team has almost nothing but guns, ammunition, water and food, medical tools, etc. It is the most primitive and practical to push with hand.
In addition to the two people guarding the assault team, Xue Ba and five others were staging, raised their hands and pressed the bottom of the stone slab, "Three, two, one, push!"
They pushed hard to the left, and the five big men's faces turned red and blue veins suddenly appeared, "Ah..."
However, the stone slab was just pushed up, and the light from outside immediately surged down. However, after they persisted for more than twenty seconds, they had to let go weakly. The stone slab fell back to its original position and made a terrible "bang", and the cracks in the surrounding stones became even bigger...
"There is light on it! This is the exit!" Xue Ba encouraged the team members in an excited tone, but he didn't say a word that even when he was full of energy, he couldn't push it, let alone now when he was tired.
After only pushing this time, Xue Ba understood that just a few of them were just a waste of effort to push, but now every bit of their physical strength is very precious, the water is gone, and the physical strength will only continue to decline with the passage of time.
Xue Ba asked everyone to stop first and asked Gu Jun to come up and take a closer look.
But except for a vague feeling of uneasiness in Gu Jun, he still couldn't do anything.
Xue Ba had no choice but to let everyone come up, and said with a square face: "We have pushed a little away just now, there is light! As long as we have enough strength, we can push off this stone slab! Let's try it together and use all our strength, and this time it will be done."
At that moment, they all bent over and sat on the platform, and Xue Ba's head was about to hit the stone slab.
In order to gather the greatest strength, even Lin Mo, who had one leg, sat in.
Because maybe it was because he was less than this little power, and they might not have the strength for the second time.
Everyone squeezed their positions, raised their hands and pressed them on the bottom of the stone slab, and prepared to push them to the left together...
But suddenly, Gu Jun had an idea that he was shocked, and the sixteen different handprints on the big banyan tree were sixteen people.
Those handprints are strange in shape, as if they are struggling... Isn't the uneven pattern of this stone slab causing their handprints to have a strange change...
It seems that no matter what, he will come here, either alone or in a group of people.
This idea was not only shocked in Gu Jun's heart, but also in Uncle Dan, Lin Mo, Yang Henan and others, and their brows frowned.
"Don't worry about that!" Xue Ba had been paying attention to it for a long time, because he had this horrible idea, and shouted: "No matter whether you are thinking or not, it is just an enemy's trick. Once we are not dead below and come here, the enemy will use this to confuse us. Don't think too much, prepare to push!"
Don’t leave time for everyone to think about it, because panic will cause your body to become weak and will not be able to be strong.
"Three, two, one!" Xue Ba shouted, his muscles exploded, "Push!"
With a sudden turn, all sixteen people in the team burst out with the greatest power they could burst out, either gritting their teeth or roaring, pushing the stone slab with both hands!
This made their faces a little distorted, their eyes widened, and the gauze on Lou Xiaoning's right socket, which had not yet healed, was oozed red by blood, and the gray light outside was sprinkled down again. The arms that pushed the stone slab were already shaking...
Of course, Gu Jun was pushing with all his strength, but the illusion that had faintly emerged before suddenly became strong.
