Chapter 1927 Dark Forest
The whole team attacks!
The Victory Condor set off again, using the shortest time to increase to the maximum speed, and then headed towards the destination at full speed.
With the speed of two kilometers per second, it took only two or three minutes to reach the destination: a vast mountain.
I saw mountains and ridges stretching all the way to the seaside, and then there was a long and narrow flat land, which allowed humans to build a prosperous city and became a unique touch in the green mountains and plains. landscape.
call! ! !
The sharp roar echoed among the high mountains and ridges.
The ultra-fast speed caused the sonic boom set off by the Victory Condor to be deafening even on the ground.
Fly from south to north, from east to west, then turn around and continue flying.
Over and over again!
After three or four laps in a row, Yumimura finally couldn't help but asked: "Captain, if this continues, it will get dark."
Through the cockpit, you can clearly see the sky to the west. The bright red sun is slowly setting towards the ground line, and the afterglow is falling, dyeing the white clouds into red clouds. From a distance, it looks like a sea of fire beside the clouds, dividing the earth and the sky.
"The rescue team carries a signal gun. If it hears the sound, it may fire a signal flare." Gosuke Kibi said in a deep voice. He had been in the rescue team and knew the configuration of the rescue team. Among them, the signal Guns are essential, and more than one.
At this time, the height and speed of the Victory Condor are being controlled by Gosuke Kibi so that no matter where the flare is launched, it will be discovered before the duration of the flare ends.
In addition, the Victory Condor is also specially equipped with a high-power communication radio station, which repeatedly sends electromagnetic waves that are enough to penetrate the mountain, and can also receive extremely weak signals, even if they are rubbed with crude materials. transmitters can be monitored.
But I turned around and found nothing.
No signal flares were launched into the sky, and no signal was found.
“How is this possible?”
Mian Nakajima’s face was full of disbelief. He kept tapping the keyboard and adjusting the instrument he had built by himself, but no matter how he turned it, the bottom There is no signal.
But this is impossible, because there are many villages scattered in the mountains below. These villages are not isolated from the world. They have long since built roads, installed wires, and even connected to the Internet.
Although there are only a few elderly people left in many of these villages, so computers may not be available in every household, but it is not uncommon for everyone to have a mobile phone.
But now there is no signal coming out from these villages, which means that no one is using the mobile phone, and even the mobile phone is turned off, because some software will run in the background even if it is not used, thereby stealing consume traffic.
But in these villages, hundreds of thousands of people have turned off their mobile phones. Even without using their brains, they can think of this as impossible with their duodenum.
After eliminating the impossible, what remains is the correct answer no matter how incredible it is.
There is probably something supernatural happening in the mountains below.
Because apart from supernatural phenomena, I really can’t think of any other situation that could cause so many people to go without return, and not even send an emergency signal.
"Something must have happened."
Gosuke Kibi's face was very serious, and the team members also realized the seriousness of the matter. They all opened their eyes wide and looked through the hatch. , looking down.
But being so high from the ground, all you can see are mountains, trees, and strange-shaped villages.
"Koda, land the Alpha to the village closest to the place where the rescue team sent the final signal. Let's go down and have a look. The others are on standby in the air." After thinking carefully, Kibi Gosuke made a decision The decision was made. Since nothing could be seen in the air, let’s get down to the ground and take a look.
"Understood!"
The team members responded in unison.
Then, the Victory Condor began to separate, the Beta and the Gamma were cruising in the air, and the Alpha began to slow down and lower its altitude, slowly heading towards a village below between two mountains. .
Nakajima Tsutomu tried to find information about this village, but there was only a few sentences of introduction. It was obviously a three-no village with no characteristics, no celebrities and no development. Like many mountain villages, it was destined to be developed rapidly. The era was eliminated and gradually buried by history.
Under Toshiyuki Koda's superb skills, the delta-winged Alpha landed safely in the open space outside the village. The strong airflow blown out by the nozzle kicked up a large amount of dust, setting off a dust wall. It took a long time to settle down.
"Bah! Bah!"
As soon as Tsutomu Nakajima came out, he ate a mouthful of dirt and choked and coughed several times.
“What a huge amount of soil.”
Koda Toshiyuki also frowned. When he looked up, he realized that the fields were barren. There were no wheat seedlings in the terraced fields within his field of vision. , there wasn’t even a single weed, just cracked soil. No wonder there was so much dust blown up.
“Don’t people here farm?”
This surprised Koda Toshiyuki. You must know that it is very difficult to cultivate terraced fields. It is much more laborious than cultivating flat land. Moreover, a field is considered abandoned, but now there is no cultivated field within sight. Terraces, this is a bit weird.
"Also. Why is there no one?"
Nakajima scanned the area but couldn't find a single figure. It was already setting sun and there was not enough light. Coupled with the obstruction of the mountains, the darkness is getting darker, making the surroundings dark almost night. The houses of different heights in the nearby village can no longer be seen clearly, and they can only vaguely distinguish their outlines.
When we were in the air, there was still a vast sea of light, but now we were in darkness. The field of view was not bad, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, which made people feel uneasy.
The Alpha landing made such a loud noise that the entire village could have seen and heard it, but no one came out to see it. Such a counter-intuitive situation, coupled with the darkness of the night, was too weird.
Kibi Gosuke scanned the surroundings, then took out the WIT and confirmed that he could contact the Beta and Gamma before saying: "Let's go to the village and have a look."
"Understood!"
Nakajima Tsutomu and Kariya Yukihei hurriedly followed. The three of them entered the village in a triangular formation, one in front and two in back.
This is a typical mountain village with uneven terrain and scattered buildings. It has the 8D characteristic that your roof is not as high as my floor.
But in such a magical village, the three of them walked along and saw all the houses with closed doors and windows, no light inside, collapsed walls, and deserted courtyards. They had been uninhabited for a long time. .
One building is like this, two buildings are like this, three, four, and more than ten buildings in a row are all like this, which inevitably makes people have distracting thoughts.
It was quiet everywhere, with only the footsteps of the three of them, not even the chirping of insects or birds, and the sky was getting dark very fast. In just a short while, I needed to turn on the flashlight to see the road. .
"Team Captain, isn't it too dark here?" Tsutomu Nakajima was stumbling as he spoke, his face even more pale, his eyes uneasily scanning the boundless darkness around him, the light of the flashlight , it was invisible a few steps away. It was like there was a big mouth that swallowed up all the light that came in, and they were walking in now.
“Something is wrong here.” Kariya Yukihei also felt something strange. It was getting dark too fast and the sky was too dark. Not only could the moon not be seen, but there were not even any stars.
And
"We can't contact the Gamma and Beta." At some point, Kibi Gosuke took out the Brest pistol and held it in his hand.
“What?” Nakajima Tsutomu and Kariya Yukihei were shocked and called quickly, but the helmet-mounted communicator didn’t even make a rustling sound. When they took out the WIT, it still showed no signal.
This.
How is this possible?
For such a large village, no matter how uneven the terrain is, the base station on the Alpha is definitely enough to cover it. How could there be no signal?
“Go back!”
Having already determined that there was indeed a problem in this village, Kibi Gosuke immediately stopped and chose to turn around and go back.
After hearing this, Nakajima Tsutomu and Kariya Yukihei quickly turned around and walked back at a speed several times faster than before. It could be said that they were jogging all the way back.
But as we walked, something became more and more strange. The road under our feet and the houses on both sides were different from when we came.
The road becomes narrower and narrower, and there are fewer and fewer houses.
The stone road when we came gradually turned into a dirt road, and the houses on both sides slowly turned into trees.
And these trees are bare, without a single leaf, and withered branches, all pointing to the sky, like the arms of a desperate person stretching towards the sky when he is dying. .
A gust of wind blew past the branches, making a whimpering sound, as if hundreds of thousands of people were crying together.
It gives me goosebumps all over.
"Team Captain" Tsutomu Nakajima was about to cry, his hands were shaking like chaff, and he was so trembling that he couldn't hold the Brest pistol.
Not only Tsutomu Nakajima, but even Gosuke Kibi, who is determined and determined, is feeling numb at the moment.
This village is too weird. There is obviously no fork in the road, so how can we go back and end up in the forest?
It was pitch dark all around, not even a bit of light could be seen, but there was a sound, but it was like thousands of strange and enchanting cries, it was better not to have it. The scalp of those who listened was numb and the heart was panicked. , the firm view of science is beginning to break, and it is true that it is a little unbearable.
Kibi Gosuke knew that he could not leave anymore. If he continued like this, even if there was nothing, this environment alone would be enough to make people collapse.
So he immediately said: "Koda, fire the flare!"
"Understood!"
Toshiyuki Koda, whose face was also turning pale, took several times as long as usual to take out the flare gun. , and quickly pulled the trigger towards the sky.
Phew!
A signal flare, dragging a long tail of light, flew into the sky, drawing a very conspicuous red curve.
"Flare!"
Gosuke Kibi gave another order, asking Koda Toshiyuki to quickly change the flare and shoot it into the sky, much faster than before. In the dark world, there is so much need for light. , and if there are flares, it will be easier for Liang and the others to discover this place.
Another meteor flew up from the ground, and then.
There was no more.
Under the gaze of the three people, the flare flew into the darkness and disappeared. It did not emit a dazzling light as expected.
"Dumb bomb? No way!" Toshiyuki Koda quickly touched his belt and wanted to fire the second flare, but before his hand could touch it, his foot stepped on a hard piece first, startling him and making him completely shocked. He was about to jump up, so he quickly stepped back and aimed his gun at the same time.
The movement of lowering his head caused the flashlight on the helmet to shine through, revealing the hard things.
It's actually a railroad track.
Intersect perpendicularly with the road beneath your feet.
Extending to the left and right, and quickly disappearing into the night.
But there is no electric bell or blocking railing, only a rusty warning sign, silently telling its history.
"Railway line? Is there a railroad in this village?"
Koda Toshiyuki breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time doubts arose in his heart.
“Uh, I don’t know!” Nakajima Tsutomu thought about it carefully and finally shook his head. In such a small mountain village that no one cares about, not much information has been collected at all. Everything depends on asking the locals, but The problem was that along the way, they didn't see a single dog or cat, let alone people.
“Where are you from?”
Suddenly an old voice sounded, startling the three of them. Zhongmai almost collapsed to the ground. The flare gun in Koda Toshiyuki's hand was shaken to the ground. Only Kibi Gosuke suddenly twisted his waist and took it with him. The Brest pistols turned together and pointed in the direction of the sound.
Under the illumination of a powerful flashlight, I saw a white-haired old man, standing hunched over, with a smooth and round cane in his hand. At this time, he was raising his hand to cover Xibi On Gosuke's helmet He said dissatisfiedly with the bright light of the flashlight: "Don't shine it into my eyes. I can't see anymore. If you shine it into my eyes, I'll have to live in your house."
"I'm sorry!"
Xibi Gosuke quickly removed the flashlight, lowered the Bryster pistol in his hand, but did not put it back into the holster, and asked: "Old man, we are lost, where are we?"
"I know. If you don't get lost, who wouldn't be able to sleep in the middle of the night and run around here?" The old man turned around with his cane and walked slowly, saying: "Come with me, wait until tomorrow morning to go down the mountain, the mountain road is not easy to walk at night. ”
The three of them looked at each other, and then Kibi Gosuke followed, while Koda Toshiyuki fell behind and raised his gun from time to time to scan behind.
Tsuki Nakajima, who was caught in the middle, took a few steps and lowered his voice and said: "Captain, it is not a good thing for an old man to appear at this time."
He is now full of thoughts The legend of the strange god, science and materialism were all thrown aside, and all I could do was cry out and ask the gods and Buddhas in the sky for blessings.
"I know, just act according to the opportunity."
Xibi Gosuke replied calmly. Of course he knew that in this deep mountain forest, an old man holding an oil lamp suddenly appeared. , it’s too weird and legendary, but it’s better than them wandering around in the dark. Even if it’s a monster, it can block a few lasers.
A group of four people just walked along the railway. After a while, they saw a house beside the railway. There was a platform next to the house. But the most exciting thing was that there was a bright light bulb at the door of the house, which meant that there was electricity. , modern scientific electricity.
