Chapter 533 Seeing the light of day again
The dark and narrow ancient Qiang ruins, the air inside is appallingly turbid...
In the words of Lao Bai - if you fart, don't let it go for three hours.
This is not an exaggeration at all. The former house was buried underground and we dug it out from the top. Its structure is like an ancient well. Besides being useless, it is also useless inside. It is damp and moldy. Eight people, big and small, are nesting here. In this narrow and cramped space, everyone eats, drinks, and eats, so you can imagine the smell inside.
It’s been half a month...
We have been stuck here for half a month!!
After escaping from the barren mountain leader, we didn't dare to stop at all. We were mixed in with the running of wolves, followed all the way, and unknowingly turned back to this ruins. The dozens of miles of mountain roads we were on the road before Adjusting as I walked, I walked for two or three days, but now it's less than a day.
When we arrived here, we were exhausted. Everyone looked pale, like vampires. Wu Ye was in the worst physical condition. He kept coughing while running. He vomited after coughing, and choked after vomiting. Bloody, it was Brother Yao who carried him out in the end.
We are human beings, not big animals. We knew that we could no longer run away, so we simply hid here...
Wu Ye noticed that the acid mist could kill animals, but would not dry up the trees...
So, before the acid rain and acid fog swept here, we peeled the bark of the trees, picked the branches, pounded the rotten leaves and mixed them together. Finally, like the people in the south sealing their daughter's red cellar, they went to the top of the ruins. Damn it, a bunch of people have become turtles in an urn...
In the extremely hypoxic environment, I felt like I was going to suffocate to death several times.
Everyone was like a fish dying of thirst, lying on the ground with its belly open and closed, trying its best to absorb every trace of oxygen in the air into its body.
The only reason we can endure it till now is because of the creepy patter outside that makes our hair stand on end...
Acid rain eventually spread here.
If you go out, your skin and flesh will rot away in an instant!
At the beginning, there were screams one after another.
Soon, there were only sporadic whines left.
After only two or three days, there was dead silence outside.
But we still dare not go out because there is a simple common sense - after the rain, the mountains will be foggy!
This kind of patience lasted for half a month, and it was a miracle that no one was suffocated to death.
"No, I really can't stand it anymore!"
On this day, Fu Huicheng got up weakly and roared in a hoarse voice: "When will this continue?"
This also represents the voice of the vast majority of people.
"There will always be a leader..."
Wu Ye was nestled in the corner, looking as miserable as a beggar. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is not the first time this has happened. So many animals have survived, so why can't we survive?"
This is not the first time such an argument has been made.
When he first got here, Wu Ye said that the Heizhugou restricted area would not become a dead land.
After looking at the angry scene of the "Golden Mountain", the first thing he thought of was - mine!!
The so-called jade is most likely a kind of ore, a very, very rare mineral, which was buried underground and eventually burst out along with the peculiar geological structure.
Acid mist is exactly the companion of this mineral deposit, and is not some evil trick.
This is somewhat similar to the gas explosions that often occur in coal mines!
The Great Ice Age of the Quaternary Period caused major changes in the earth's appearance. It was because of this drastic change that this mineral disappeared from the outside world. Only Heizhugou still has some traces of it.
Wu Ye guessed that the "golden mountain" should be very similar to a volcano.
It was not a mountain of earth at all. The entire interior was filled with jade, like a jade pillar that supported the sky, and was then buried by the sand. Because the temperature at the bottom was relatively high, the moisture in the soil was evaporated, so it looked like
It is like sand, and the soil on top is moistened by rising water vapor. As for the jade on the top, it is completely formed by the condensation of jade that spewed out in the past. The place where Brother Yaozi and I dug is probably
It was a location similar to a volcano crater, only it was empty. It was opened at once and all the acid mist inside was released!
It is this structure that is the reason why the mountain does not collapse!!
In Wu Ye's view, this catastrophe was not caused by me and Brother Yaozi at all. Just like the outbreak of World War I, could it be that because Archduke Ferdinand was shot dead in Sarajevo, thirty or forty people around the world
A country just "crackled" into a fight? In the final analysis, it was just an excuse to use the topic, and it was just a comprehensive explosion of many conflicts that had been accumulated for a long time, and Brother Yaozi and I became the killers!
When we were digging, the soil was rising and falling, like a heart beating, which showed that the power accumulated below was already very terrifying. Even if we didn't dig, it wouldn't be long before the acid mist and jade in the ground would still spurt out.
Even more powerful than it is now!
Qian Guangqi, who assigned Wei Donghuai here to look for golden stones, may have been aware of this problem a long time ago, and...80% of them guessed the huge value of this golden stone from some source!!
To put it bluntly, it is just a mine blowout, and it is impossible to cause ecological destruction in an area, so... the crisis will pass sooner or later!
The scene we imagine of acid fog wandering back and forth in the mountains and forests like ghosts after an acid rain will not happen!
This argument is very imaginative and convincing, at least at the beginning.
It was precisely based on this hope that we struggled for more than ten days half-dead.
But now this argument can no longer keep us waiting. If we wait any longer, we will die of suffocation here.
"Brother Kite, put the grappling hook for me. We really can't hold on any longer. We have to do this as a last resort!"
I stood up with some difficulty with my hands on my knees. My limbs were as soft as noodles. I could only hold on to the wall to steady myself. I kept breathing heavily, but my lungs still felt like they were being pinched. I felt indescribably uncomfortable. .
Looking around, a hint of helplessness appeared on my face, and I said lightly: "I've been hiding here for half a month without seeing the light. I don't know what's going on outside. I always have to take a look, right?"
Wu Ye opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing, leaving only a deep sigh.
Everyone knows that this is not a matter of buying melon seeds at a street stall. You can taste two of them first and if they succeed, if they fail, acid mist and acid rain will seep in. It is best for everyone to find a more comfortable place to feel comfortable before being dissolved alive. Solve it alone!
Brother Yaozi responded. In the past, he could swing the grappling hook casually and grab whatever he pointed at, but now he had to try it more than a dozen times in a row before he was able to catch it.
I didn't get any better. I climbed up along the rope and fell back and forth four or five times. When I climbed high, I was afraid of falling to death. The desire to survive took over, and I borrowed a bit of evil energy from my body. Climb all the way to the top.
The resin, bark, and crushed leaves were mixed together to make a paste that was used to seal the openings on the clothes. Now they have dried up, become hard, like caramel, and very brittle. I have been using them for days on end. The official blade hit it several times, and a large piece broke into pieces with a "click" sound.
When a ray of sunshine poured onto my face, I didn't know whether it was because I had been in darkness for a long time or because my mood was too volatile. I just felt that my eyes were sore and tears came out from the corners of my eyes, but my heart was calm.
"It's done!!"
Lao Bai's loud voice sounded from below, like a thunder on the ground: "Hahaha, damn, it has cleared up outside a long time ago..."
I smashed all the sealed areas with a few clean strokes, and crawled out in one piece.
The sun was shining brightly, but... there was still a smell of sulfur and putrefaction in the air.
Many rotting animal carcasses were scattered in the jungle.
Even so, I was still breathing heavily, feeling that the world was so bad.
Not long after, Lao Bai and the others struggled to climb up. They were all covered in stench, and the smell was probably no better than those of dead animals.
"what to do?"
After cheering, Brother Yaozi asked this question.
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared and they were all looking at me.
"Let's go back and have a look..."
