Chapter 1674 Repairing the Bridge
But the stone bridge was in tatters, some parts of the bridge deck had collapsed, and some of the most severely collapsed areas were smoked black by the flames.
Li Bai could tell at a glance that the bridge had been blasted, and the technique was very professional. It should have been done by the dead soldiers.
There are bundles of large wooden boards on the ground nearby. The wooden boards are long and short. The long ones are 4 or 5 meters long. They look very strong.
From the strong woman's mouth, Li Bai learned the specific content of the three of them's mission. They needed to use these planks to repair the holes in the bridge deck.
It is said that it is repaired, but in fact it is just to temporarily put up the wooden planks to ensure that the Blood Queen's fire team can cross the bridge.
This task does not seem to be difficult, but it is a little more troublesome and requires physical effort. However, Li Bai knew that it would not be as simple as it seemed, and something would definitely go wrong along the way.
“Hurry!”
The strong woman seemed to be in a hurry, and looked in the direction of the village from time to time, as if indicating that the Shehuo team was coming soon.
A few more familiar women came forward, lifted up a large wooden board and handed it over. Wu Qiang, who was nearest, subconsciously reached out to take it.
"Wait!"
Li Bai took a few steps quickly to interrupt Wu Qiang, and then smiled apologetically at the women who stared at her with doubtful eyes, "Sorry, he is a clumsy man, I will do it."
Li Bai did not take the board immediately, but observed it carefully and said at the same time The words distracted the women's attention, "Haha, the wooden planks used to build the bridge cannot be vague. Once they are not strong, the empress will definitely be unhappy."
After some observation, Li Bai did not notice that question, and tapped it with his finger again, and there was a muffled sound of "beep beep", which sounded very solid.
While looking at the wooden board, Li Bai was also quietly observing the reactions of these women. The women were becoming increasingly impatient, which was completely in line with Li Bai's impression of them, and these people were all familiar faces.
"Can it be faster?" The strong woman in the lead lowered her face.
"Okay, let's start."
Li Bai summoned Lu Zhangyuan and Wu Qiang with a smile. The three of them lifted the plank and walked towards the bridge. Under Li Bai's command, they lifted the plank It was laid firmly on the bridge where a huge gap was opened by the explosion.
Once again, the next thing is familiar. After finding no problems, the three of them speeded up, and soon the damage closest to the shore was repaired.
Li Bai stood on the bridge and looked around, but didn't find anything strange until she lowered her head and looked under the bridge.
It was dark under the bridge. It was night, so it was normal for it to be dark under the bridge, but Li Bai just felt something was wrong, as if she had overlooked something.
The next second, Li Bai suddenly realized that there was water under the bridge, but she looked down with a torch, but the water below did not reflect her shadow.
It was pure black under the bridge, without even a trace of fire, as if it were a black hole that could swallow everything in, including light.
Li Bai realized that the biggest crisis in this bridge repair mission might come from underwater.
Time passed by and Wu Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He had done bangbang before and had good physical strength. He was also the main force in this transportation task.
Now the bridge is half paved, but the problem is that there are only a few planks left.
"Excuse me, where are the remaining boards?" Li Bai found the strong woman who led him.
But the strong woman seemed to have a bad impression of Li Bai because of what happened before. She glanced at her with some dissatisfaction and said angrily: "What's the matter, I owe you, do I deserve to be manipulated by you?"
< br>"If you want the plank, go get it yourself. I remind you, if it delays the queen from crossing the river, you will all die!"
"Where is the plank? Let's get it ourselves." Li Bai Don't bother with her either.
"Ha, that's about the same attitude." The strong woman turned around and said, "Come with me. The journey is not far. I finally got some usable wooden boards. It's cheaper for you thieving men."
Following the strong woman into the mist, Li Bai was always alert to possible changes, and even asked Lu Zhangyuan and Wu Qiang to hold her sleeves. The three of them were like conjoined twins.
After all, Li Bai had seen this kind of environment a lot, and she was worried that if she didn't pay attention, her teammates in the fog would be replaced.
And these villagers may not have good intentions.
The journey was not far, and they arrived soon. What Li Bai did not expect was that there were dozens of villagers waiting here. These people were either lying down or squatting on the ground, looking very tired.
And within this area, there are dozens or hundreds of wooden boards of different sizes stuck vertically, extending into the depths of the mist at a glance.
"Head of the Hao family, you are finally here. We have moved all the wooden boards we can find. We really can't walk anymore." A villager who was squatting on the ground reluctantly stood up. My legs seem to be weak from fatigue.
The strong woman's face darkened, "What are you yelling about? The village chief is pressing for this matter, not to mention that he is doing things for the sake of the empress. He is picky and picky."
But after hearing the empress After two words, these people stuffed all their complaints back into their stomachs. Empress Zhusheng seemed to be a god-like thing in their minds, and they could only admire and respect her.
After taking care of these people, the strong woman sat down on the ground and waved her hands to Li Bai and the others, "Okay, you can do your own business and take whichever piece you like. I'll take a break first." .”
Looking at these erected wooden boards, Li Bai and the others instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, as if these were not wooden boards but tombstones.
Li Bai raised his head and glanced at the tired or dissatisfied faces around him. These faces all looked familiar to her, which quietly gave her some sense of security.
But the next second, Li Bai's pupils trembled suddenly, and she suddenly realized a very critical question, why did every face look familiar to her, not to mention her memory, she was I have only seen a few people in Heishui Village, but there are at least dozens of people here!
With this doubt, Li Bai looked at the faces again, and then a strange scene happened. She clearly felt that these faces looked familiar, but they were different from the faces of the villagers in Heishui Village in her memory. None of it matched. It was an indescribable and strange feeling, as if something was constantly affecting her.
But at least Li Bai knew that there was something wrong with these guys. They were probably all ghosts.
"What are you waiting for?" The strong woman in the lead glared.
“This is coming.”
Li Bai slowly walked towards the nearest plank in a perfunctory manner. Since the purpose of these guys is to let them pull out the plank to repair the bridge, then the problem should be on these boards.
After careful observation, there is nothing wrong with this wooden board except that it is a bit older.
Li Bai did not act rashly and continued to check the next piece. There were no problems with three boards in a row until the fourth one.
This wooden board looked darker than the previous three, and it felt very thick. Li Bai touched it with his hand. It was relatively cool when he first touched it, which made people feel very comfortable. However, it didn't take long for the coolness to change. Biting cold. (End of this chapter)
