Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Lake Yamanaka

He stood by the lake, with the red land under his feet, and looked forward with the flashlight. In front of him was the sparkling lake. In the lake, there was a vast expanse of blue waves, and he could see schools of fish swimming several meters deep.Yuan Sen was overwhelmed with shock. He thought it was a dream several times, and pinched his arms several times before he dared to confirm that this big lake was indeed real. Yuan Sen thought it was his hallucination, turned his head to look at Wang Hui, Wang Hui nodded at her, that look, contrary to the dementia look just now, seemed inscrutable.

Wang Hui whispered in his ear: "You should relax first, don't be so nervous. I'm not 100% sure to break this situation. We need to do a few experiments first. Will you cooperate with me?" Yuan Sen was full of doubts, and it was not easy to ask more questions in this situation, so he nodded in agreement.Wang Hui seemed unable to do what she wanted when she spoke, and she was completely different when she got angry with her. She said softly: "Be patient, this is not an easy situation. I know you have a lot of questions about me, but I don't have any now. There is a way to tell you, after we go out, I will tell you exactly what happened to me."

Yuan Sen nodded, but was very suspicious in his heart.Even Aikailamu and Kangbasa are stuck here, how can she, a young girl, break out of this trap? Wang Hui asked Yuan Sen to take out the compass and walk forward according to the direction of the compass. What he saw and heard in the middle were all hallucinations, so he ignored them and just walked forward. Yuan Sen agreed. In fact, he thought of this method as soon as he realized that walking around was just going around in circles.Ordinarily, most people can think of this method. Although this woman is crazy, she suddenly returned to normal. Although it is strange, there may not be any great means.

With Wang Hui on his back, he walked straight forward in the direction pointed by the compass.Along the way, Wang Hui didn't speak any more, she just leaned her head on his shoulder, wondering if she fell asleep. The first time Yuan Sen ran so far, he had exhausted a lot of physical strength. This time, he had to listen to the strange sound of "squeak--" that pierced his heart, and Yuan Sen obviously felt that his speed had slowed down. . He walked for about twenty minutes, and the surrounding fog became thinner and thinner, and the visibility of the flashlight was close to twenty meters.Yuan Sen looked around while walking, trying to find something, when suddenly a black shadow flashed in the light of the flashlight.Yuan Sen hurried to catch up and shouted, "Who is it?"

Wang Hui whispered in his ear: "Don't chase, you continue to walk in the direction of the compass." Yuan Sen didn't pay much attention to Wang Hui. In this vast underground, seeing a living thing is a very strange thing, so how could he just let it go.As soon as he turned around, he got into the darkness, but after the black shadow flashed past, Yuan Sen shook his flashlight near the shadow, but he didn't see the thing again. Yuan Sen walked over, the place was very empty, there was nothing to hide people within tens of meters around, where did that black shadow go? Wang Hui saw that Yuan Sen deviated from her designated direction, and kept whispering in his ear angrily: "Didn't you promise me? Do as I say, how can you not count on what you say?"

Yuan Sen was angry and funny, and said: "Miss, the compass is in my hand. As long as I hold it, I will not lose my way wherever I go. But can you bump into this underground creature from time to time? If Catch that thing, maybe we can unravel the mystery we are in." Wang Hui was out of breath: "You must listen to me, otherwise—otherwise—you will die here." How could Yuan Sen care so much, he looked for the direction where the black shadow might go, and Wang Hui yelled anxiously at first, but Yuan Sen was unmoved, and in a hurry, Wang Hui slapped him like crazy, Order him to go back quickly and stop chasing him.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Hui couldn't even speak well, let alone hit someone. Slapping on Yuan Sen's body was like scratching an itch. Yuan Sen didn't care at all, and only thought her illness was having another attack. Yuan Sen took random photos with the flashlight, and quickly put the black shadow in the shadow formed by the flashlight's aperture. Although the shadow flashed by again, Yuan Sen could see clearly this time that it was a person, and he began to get excited . The man was so fast that Yuan Sen could barely catch his shadow, and even lost track of him many times.After chasing all the way like this, the shadow climbed onto something, and walked staggeringly on top of that thing.

Yuan Sen ran over to take a look, only to find that in front of him was a very wide cliff, on which was a single-plank bridge made of a thigh-thick dead tree.In just a short while, the man had already walked across the single-plank bridge, which should be more than ten meters long.Yuan Sen shined a flashlight on the opposite bank, and the man was waving at him. He suddenly felt strange, but the opposite bank was too far away, and there was another stone monument erected beside it, and the flashlight was blocked by the stone monument. Looking at the movement and figure of the man waving, it looks like he is most similar to Akailam.Yuan Sen was tormented by the strange "squeak" sound along the way, and his brain reaction speed was not as good as before. He looked and looked, but the man only waved to him enthusiastically and led him over without saying a word. Say.

Yuan Sen suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and shouted to the other side: "Who the hell are you?" The man remained silent, waving his hands desperately, as if very anxious.Yuan Sen picked up the walkie-talkie and called Ai Kailam, but there was no response at all. He knew something was wrong, so he backed away. As soon as he stepped back, the man on the other side became more anxious and waved his hands harder. Yuan Sen felt very strange. Judging by the appearance of this person, it was probably Ai Kailam who was right.He went to explore the road well, and said on the intercom that he had found a big lake, and now he appeared here mysteriously. What is he doing?If you really want to find out all this, you can do it by climbing over the single-plank bridge.Although this single-plank bridge is dangerous, Yuan Sen is not afraid to climb it.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Wang Hui whispering in his ear: "You also saw that there is something wrong with that person. You throw something on the ground. After we get out of this bureau, come back and see what it is." place." Wang Hui's tone was quite serious, and Yuan Sen remembered that it seemed reasonable for her to warn him not to follow, so he followed what she said, threw the lighter on the ground, and then slowly backed away. Wang Hui told him to continue walking in the direction of the compass and keep walking, and turn a blind eye to any strange things encountered on the road, otherwise they would die here if they could not break the situation.

After the episode just now, Yuan Sen didn't dare to underestimate Wang Hui, so he walked for another twenty minutes according to what she said.Suddenly Wang Hui said: "Look, we are walking back again." Yuan Sen took a picture of the front with a flashlight, and sure enough, he saw that the big rock they rested on was still standing tens of meters away, and its position hadn't changed at all.When Yuan Sen saw the big rock, his heart sank. It seemed that Wang Hui's method had also failed. He really couldn't figure out what the situation was.If it is not possible, do they have to climb down the red soil slope and return along the original road? Yuan Sen was extremely depressed, and the "squeak——" sound still rang out in his ears, and that strange sound seemed to be beating on his heart, which really made people feel extremely uncomfortable. When Yuan Sen was at a loss, Wang Hui said: "I understand, you throw away all the things related to magnetism on your body, compass, walkie-talkie and other things, and think about it carefully." Yuan Sen was stunned for a moment, but Wang Hui urged him without giving him a chance to question, "Hurry up and do as I say, quickly." In this case, he had no more time to think, so he had to do it one by one, cleaned up all the things that should be thrown on his body, and carried Wang Hui on his back.Under Wang Hui's guidance, he closed his eyes and walked forward. Walking in the dark always feels unreliable.Especially in this situation in the underground space, I can't see the way, so I can only hand myself over to a woman who is sometimes crazy and sometimes mysterious, which seems even more unreliable. Under Wang Hui's guidance, Yuan Sen walked forward cautiously. Under Wang Hui's instructions like controlling an instrument, Yuan Sen walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped when Wang Hui said "Come out". As soon as he opened his eyes, the turbulent "squeak——" sound in his ears suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became terribly quiet. His ears couldn't adapt to this rapid change for a while, and fell into a short buzzing, except for the hallucinatory buzzing. Humming, nothing can be heard. After a long time, Yuan Sen regained his hearing. He put Wang Hui on the ground and took a look around with a flashlight. He was surprised to find a row of tents not far away. There were as many as fourteen tents. It was only when Wang Hui saw those tents that Yuan Sen helped Wang Hui walk over there.He saw the number mark of the 755th Division on the tent from a distance, and when he walked over, he saw a burning fire at the door of the tent. A large kettle was hung on the fire. With water vapor. Yuan Sen was overjoyed, the fire was still burning, and their large army should still be there, so he shouted into the tent, "Is anyone there?" After calling twice and no one answered, he opened the curtain of a nearby tent. Inside were two large military backpacks, which were placed in the corner of the tent. There were some washing utensils in the middle, and there was half a basin of water in the basin. But no one. Yuan Sen was puzzled, and said to Wang Hui, "What's going on? Could it be that this is where the tragedy happened to you?" Wang Hui shook her head: "No, I was separated from them in the bureau. These tents should have been set up by them after they escaped from the bureau. There are fourteen tents here, calculated according to the method of assigning tents to teams, in the bureau The loss of very few people was beyond my expectations." Yuan Senqi said: "Everything here is very natural, even the water is burning, there is no trace of a sudden change, but where are your teammates?" Wang Hui's pale face was full of doubts. She checked one by one, and confirmed the identities of her teammates from the things in the tent. From Captain Ma to Lieutenant Li, they became famous one by one. After seeing the last tent, she thought for a while and said, "There are two people missing, me and another second lieutenant." "So, both of you disappeared in that bureau?" Yuan Sen said. Wang Hui nodded: "The things I encountered in the bureau are unimaginable. I can't tell you now. I can only tell you after I find my captain and confirm one thing with him. " "Confirm one thing?" Yuan Sen repeated Wang Hui's words. Wang Hui nodded and said nothing more.With Yuan Sen's support, she entered a tent in the middle, which was covered with blankets, and there was a large military backpack on the blankets.The zipper of the backpack was half open, and there was no trace of chaos, but it was really incomprehensible for such a large number of people to disappear in such a strange way. Yuan Sen helped Wang Hui sit on the blanket, and watched her dig out the contents of the backpack one by one. He didn't know what she was looking for, and it was inconvenient to interrupt, so he retreated to look at the boiling water on the fire. He made some instant food with the water in the kettle, ate some by himself, and took the rest into the tent, and saw Wang Hui staring at the pile of things on the blanket in a daze. Yuan Sen handed the food to Wang Hui, and asked tentatively, "Did you find anything?" Wang Hui took the lunch box containing instant food and put it beside her, but she was not in the mood to eat it.He just frowned and shook his head: "This backpack is mine, and it contains survey equipment and other things. Before my accident, our captain was sympathetic to lesbians and forced me to carry this bag, so this bag has been It's in his hand. I checked it carefully just now, and nothing is missing in the bag, but only a notebook is missing." "notebook?" Wang Hui nodded: "This notebook is also my work notes, and it records the data on the strength of the geomagnetic field that we monitored along the way." Yuan Sen was taken aback, and said, "You mean, there is a geomagnetic field in this underground space?" Wang Hui bit her lip, pondered for a while, and said: "Strictly speaking, the earth itself is a huge geomagnetic field. But the magnetic field in the underground space we live in is very strong, and in some places, it can even form a huge geomagnetic field. magnetic storm." Yuan Sen was dumbfounded: "Magnetic storm?" Wang Hui said: "Looking at the current situation, they retreated very hastily. Basically, they left behind some necessary things for survival, but they wanted to take away a geomagnetic field monitoring note. Could it be that the danger they encountered had something to do with the geomagnetic field?" related?" Yuan Sen disagreed: "Doesn't it look good here? Everything is very normal, more normal than normal." Wang Hui frowned and said, "I don't understand now, what happened to them. By the way, after you went down to the underground space, did you use the walkie-talkie to contact our team?" Yuan Sen felt that Wang Hui's question was quite strange, and said: "My walkie-talkie received a signal from your third communication unit, and your radio station said that it had found the trace of Professor Yang Jian. When confirming our location coordinates, the signal suddenly After that, you will no longer be able to contact your radio station. When your radio station calls us, you will not be present, right?" Wang Hui's frown became tighter and tighter, and Yuan Sen also saw that something was wrong with her, and said, "What's the problem?" Wang Huidao: "Do you remember when you received the call?" Of course Yuan Sen remembered that when his walkie-talkie received the signal, the receiving time kept jumping before his eyes, so he reported the time at that time. After hearing this, Wang Hui said, "Yes, when they got in touch with you, I was already separated from the team in the bureau. They should have sent the radio here. I encountered some things in the bureau, which caused my mental illness. Crash, I don’t remember anything that happened in the middle. Listening to what you said now, I roughly calculate that it has been at least five to six hours since I lost my memory.” Yuan Sendao: "I received the radio signal from your third communication team for about five hours. That is to say, the third team must have been here five hours ago. within hours." Wang Huidao: "What surprised me the most was how they found Professor Yang Jian's clues during these five hours. We went down to the underground space, although we came for this goal, but didn't find anything. How could they Found it so quickly?" Yuan Sendao: "Listening to what you said, I guess that's the case. They accidentally discovered the trace of Professor Yang Jian. Since the situation was too sudden, it was important to track down the clues. They had no time to deal with the aftermath, so they abandoned these things, and the whole team chased after them. .” Wang Hui shook her head and said: "It's not right to say that. According to the team's usual procedures, even if there is an emergency, they will go out to track it immediately, but they will definitely stay behind to deal with the aftermath. Because in this huge underground space, lost so much More equipment means that it is difficult for us to go out." They discussed for a long time, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of the third communication unit.Wang Hui, who has worked in the third communication unit for three years, can confidently describe the characteristics of their team and the personality characteristics of each officer and soldier in their unit, but she is still at a loss when faced with this strange situation. Unable to analyze the reason here, Yuan Sen planned to re-enter the bureau to find the missing Ai Kailam and Kangbasa.As soon as he expressed this idea, he was immediately rejected by Wang Hui.She told Yuan Sen that a large part of the reason for being able to get out of the game this time was luck.If they go in again, they will have no chance to come out again, and they will most likely die inside. Yuan Sen said speechlessly: "Then what should we do? Is it just to let them die in the bureau?" Wang Huidao: "They are in the bureau, and they can't die for a while. I need to find our team leader and confirm one thing with him, otherwise, even if we go in, there is a 90% chance of death, so the most urgent thing is to find The third communication unit." "Then what exactly is the Bureau?" Yuan Sen said, he was in a state of confusion in the Bureau, he was in a state of chaos, full of weirdness, but nothing could make sense, everything was so bizarre that there was no edge . After saying these words, the tiredness on Wang Hui's face became more obvious. She lay lightly on the blanket and looked at the top of the tent. After a while, she said: "The game should be a battle set up by Qie Liren." .According to my understanding, the ingenuity of this game used the geomagnetic field. I only saw this when I escaped twice in the game.” Yuan Sen was taken aback, and said: "Besides, the beauty civilization ended more than a thousand years ago. In the Tang Dynasty, General Gao Xianzhi, the Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi, led his army into the Flame Mountain and wiped them out. More than a thousand How can it be unreasonable for people a few years ago to be able to use such advanced technology as the geomagnetic field?" Wang Hui shook her head and said softly: "I don't know about this. The mystery of the geomagnetic field was used in the game. It is my judgment based on experience. My mind is very messy. If I can sort out all the clues, I may find other people. s things." Yuan Sen heard that she wanted to chase away the guests, so he didn't say any more, told her to have a good rest, and then retreated from the tent. He randomly found one in a row of tents and got in. There were blankets and sleeping bags inside. Yuan Sen lay down on the blankets and recalled the experience of entering the underground space. He felt that it was not only Professor Yang Jian, but also a beautiful woman. Civilization, even this Wang Hui, is mysterious and unpredictable, full of mysteries hidden in him, but there are no clues to solve it. After thinking wildly for a while, the exhaustion caused by long-term exertion surged. Yuan Sen lay on the comfortable blanket and gradually fell into a sound sleep.He fell into a dark sleep, and he didn't know how long it took before he woke up in a daze. The underground space is always in constant darkness. Yuan Sen got up from the blanket, feeling that he had slept for a long time.He lifted the curtain of the tent and saw that the fire outside was still burning, but it was much smaller.He remembered that when he first started to sleep, there were still many dead trees piled up on the fire, but now they were almost burnt, it seemed that he had really slept long enough. Yuan Sen got up, walked to the door of Wang Hui's tent, and patted the curtain, kind of urging her to get up.Looking back now, he was really exhausted to the limit at that time, and he fell asleep so drowsily in such a place with no one on guard.If there were something like yin pigs lurking in the darkness, I'm afraid he and Wang Hui would both become delicacies in the mouths of those yin pigs. He took several shots, but there was no sound in the tent.Yuan Sen was puzzled, and took a few more shots, this time with much stronger force, but there was still no movement inside the tent. Yuan Sen knew there was a problem, so he opened the curtain to take a photo, and found that the tent was empty. The big backpack inside was restored to the way it was when they first entered the tent, and the blanket was smoothed out, except that there was no Wang Hui. traces. Yuan Sen was secretly surprised. Although Wang Hui looked weird, in this underground space, she had already lost her teammate, and there was no one else beside her. What's more, they belonged to the same team. She was a weak woman, how could she not tell her? And don't? He thought about it left and right and felt that something was wrong. Looking at the situation in the tent, Wang Hui seemed to be sneaking away.But looking at the tent she lived in when she disappeared, it is very similar to the situation of the third communication unit that disappeared a few hours ago. The situation is so wrong. Yuan Sen came out and searched around the tent, but did not find any suspicious traces. Wang Hui, a sick woman, just disappeared from the world, just like her teammates. Yuan Sen thought about it carefully, there was something wrong with this place, he couldn't stay any longer, but he couldn't just leave.So many people disappeared for no reason, no matter what, there must be an explanation, otherwise, even if he escaped safely by himself and returned to the ground, how would he explain to Dr. Tian and the others? After thinking about it, he felt that the problem might still lie in that bureau.Although they had already escaped from the bureau and were far away from nearly ten thousand yin pigs making a terrible "squeak——" sound, his current position was right next to the bureau.So many people disappeared in such a strange manner all of a sudden, there is no way not to think that the problem lies in that bureau. Thinking of this section, Yuan Sen couldn't care less. He packed his equipment and saw some new military flashlights in the tent, so he replaced them all, and put the extras in his backpack.After all, in this darkness where you can't see your fingers, lighting tools are the most important thing to survive and go out. As soon as Yuan Sen entered the game, the strange sound of "Zhi Zhi—" stuck to his ears, just like a swarm of bees following behind.Although Yuan Sen was mentally prepared, he still felt a strong sense of nausea at first, and couldn't help but vomit. He made up his mind and stuffed two pieces of cloth into his ears. Although it didn't have any effect on blocking the sound, he still felt a little better in his heart. Yuan Sen followed the direction he came in and walked straight forward.He didn't intend to find Wang Hui and the other members of the third communication team in the bureau, but Kang Basa and Ai Kailamu were still in the bureau, so find them first, and then adjust accordingly. Since it is the first time to get out of this bureau, maybe The second time is fine too. He just walked for a while, and the further he walked, the thicker the fog in the bureau, and gradually, the visibility ahead was less than three meters.With his first experience, he knew that it is easy to have hallucinations in the bureau, and it will lead people to a dead end, just like the wild ghosts in folklore. calm. Yuan Sen walked in the fog for another 20 minutes, and saw a huge silhouette in front of him, which was the big rock when he set off from the red soil slope.He went from one end of the board to the other.The moment he stood in front of the boulder, he felt in a daze that the person who set the scene was hidden in the darkness.He kept changing the tricks in his hands, watching the people caught in the game, being played by him to the point of mental breakdown and despair to death. It is a miracle that Wang Huineng escaped this situation twice. The more Yuan Sen thought about it, the more confused he became. The repressed sense of despair in his heart was urged by the chaotic screams in his ears.Yuan Sen murmured in his heart that it was not good. At that time, he was afraid that Kangbasa had such an idea, which made his life and death unknown, and where he was.If he allowed his emotions to swell like this, he would probably soon fall into a state of madness, and eventually die tragically. Yuan Sen straightened his thoughts, tried to calm himself down, picked up the walkie-talkie and compass that had been thrown by the stone, and put them into his backpack.Wang Hui repeatedly emphasized that the bureau is a strange geomagnetic field, which is influenced by magnetism, forming many unexplainable phenomena. The use of electromagnetic equipment in the bureau is the most vulnerable to negative effects, but Yuan Sen always feels that in the vast underground space, If you want to find a lost companion, it is obviously better to use a compass and a walkie-talkie than to find them blindly. This time he didn't walk in the direction he came from, but walked along the direction of the red soil slope, so that he could always see the slope line, so that he could keep walking in a straight line and would not come back again. He walked along the slope for more than an hour before reaching the place where the slope line disappeared. The lower part of the slope in front had completely merged with the slope and became a whole. Along the way, the situation in the game is almost the same as that on the downhill slope, except for the weird "squeak" sound that is always lingering in my ears, everything is normal.Yuan Sen believed that he did not make a mistake this time, but when he walked in this direction, he found that the size of the bureau was frighteningly large. He went all the way until the red slope line disappeared, but he did not get out of this bizarre bureau. And along the way, there was no trace of Kang Basa and Ai Kailamu. They were in the bureau, just like the third communication team and Wang Hui, they evaporated strangely without leaving any traces. After Yuan Sen walked through the red soil slope, he felt uneasy in his heart. He kept recalling the appearances of Ai Kailam, Kang Basa and Wang Hui in his mind, and felt that all this was too bizarre, so bizarre that it was unreal.So many living people disappeared out of thin air almost in an instant, without any warning.This bizarre sense of insecurity made him feel a kind of fear from his bones, and that kind of fear went straight to the bottom of his heart and could not be eliminated. After Hongtupo disappeared, Yuan Sen seemed to feel that the "squeak" that had been chattering in his ears was quieter, only slightly smaller, and it might be that the fear in his heart replaced the tormenting irritability.He walked straight forward in the direction he observed, and after walking for about an hour, he could feel the wind blowing from the west. The wind was warm and contained moisture, which was completely different from the wind down the red soil slope.The wind below is abnormally dry, and it is hot and painful when it blows on people's faces, like callused hands caressing carelessly on the body, but this wind is also like a pair of human hands, but it is gentle. Yuan Sen was secretly surprised, such a humid wind should only be found on the sea, how could there be under the Flame Mountain?He was full of doubts, thinking of what Ekailam said on the intercom the last time, he found an endless big lake, could it be that the big lake is real? Ai Kailamu's original words were that there was a large lake more than 400 meters away from where he started, so Yuan Sen and Kang Basa had to hurry there.However, Yuan Sen discovered the humid warm wind more than tens of kilometers away from the starting point, and the distance from Akailamu was two extremes. How should this be explained? Yuan Sen was full of doubts, so he quickened his pace and walked for about half an hour. The humid warm wind blew more and more intensely along the way. Like getting up in the water. He stood by the lake, with the red land under his feet, and looked forward with the flashlight. In front of him was the sparkling lake. In the lake, there was a vast expanse of blue waves, and he could see schools of fish swimming several meters deep.Yuan Sen was overwhelmed with shock. He thought it was a dream several times, and pinched his arms several times before he dared to confirm that this big lake was indeed real. This great lake is vast and boundless. He walked along the lake for more than a hundred meters, but he still couldn't see the end of the other side.When the light beam of the flashlight swayed on the water, a group of fish could be seen swimming past, some even jumped out of the water, and made a "pop" sound when they fell into the water. At the end of the beam of light from the flashlight, you can see patches of shadows pressing down in darkness. I don't know what it is, giving people a strong sense of depression. Yuan Sen ran all the way by the lake and screamed all the way: "Ai Kailamu, where are you? I found the Great Lake—I found the Great Lake." Facing this huge underground lake that is almost impossible to exist, Yuan Sen's inner excitement cannot be described in words.He found it unbelievable, and even more mysterious.There was something wrong with the last time Akailam called him, otherwise he would not have disappeared so mysteriously.What Akailam said on the walkie-talkie was even more bizarre. Yuan Sen walked a long way in the game until he returned to the starting point. At one time, he felt that what Akailam said to him was not himself at all. As I said, there is a big lake hidden in the underground space, which is even more fictional. Now, he actually found the big lake, in a place that was many times farther than what Akailam said, he really found the big lake. The great lake was found, so where did Akailamu go?
