Wilderness is not stiff
Chapter 30 Labyrinth
"Ha, you are only in the first grade, you must be very good!" In the dark and narrow corridor, the exquisite lamp in Shuangbai's hand was raised, illuminating the equally dirty young man in front of him. Shuangbai is about the same height, and he is thin. He wears a baggy and wrinkled windbreaker, with soft pockets hanging all over his body. His eyebrows are faint, and his gray hair is messy. With a pursed mouth, a pair of shining star eyes stared at Shuangbai.
Shuangbai choked for no reason, and the roots of his ears turned red inadvertently, that...Yaocheng is indeed quite powerful...As for himself...he hesitated, spoke vaguely, and stammered: "Yeah, it's not exactly like that... Hahahaha..." He scratched his head shyly as he said, "It seems that I accidentally offended my mentor, so I was sent here to be punished..."
"Ah——" Bei Qi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he suddenly lowered his head and let out a burst of laughter...
"Well, you're enough!" About 5 minutes later, Shuang Bai sullenly poked the young man who was still laughing and laughing. Interesting, if our academy, even if they made a mistake, the teacher would not dare to throw the first-year students into such a dangerous place casually..."
... Our college tutors don't dare to be nice, this has nothing to do with which city or college, it's entirely the fault of my tutor's weirdness, of course Shuang Bai rationally didn't throw the topic out, lest the other party ask Mo Shi when the time comes, It's worship, surprise, and fuss... In Shuang Bai's view, Master Mo is not very powerful at all, just a poor old man who is a little smarter, a little colder, emotionally hurt, psychopathic, abstinent, and difficult to get along with. It is estimated that people who are familiar with him will have a common understanding, but no one is stupid enough to tell the truth.
"So what's the matter with this maze, you said it can be assembled by itself?" The boy raised the lamp again, and slowly illuminated the dark narrow wall in front of him.
Bei Qi nodded heavily, his short gray hair, his light beard and hair looked a little pale in the dim light, but his whole body was condensed with an unusual spirit: "As you can see, three days ago , we were sucked into the ruins by the underwater vortex, I woke up directly in the maze, I thought it was trivial at first, with my IQ, I can walk sideways in the maze casually, and if I can’t get out, I can blast out—” He said He weighed the dark things in his hands.
"This is?" Shuang Bai looked curiously at the shiny black object in his hand that was thicker than an adult's arm.
"Cannon barrel." The young man unconsciously drew a cruel and beautiful smile, and casually threw the heavy metal cannon barrel to him.
After Shuangbai finished reading, he put it back together, pressed five fingers on the clasp on the wall of the metal cylinder, squinted his eyes and raised them to the side of his face, aiming at the depths of the darkness, suddenly clasped all five fingers together, and Shuangbai felt a loud noise in his ears. Tremors, black shadows passed by, huge shells rubbed into the dark night, and with a loud bang, in the room that was briefly lit up in the bottomless darkness ahead, there were countless cobweb-like faint blue intermittent lights that spread for a moment. , fell silent again.
"Damn it..." Bei Qi angrily untied the cannon barrel and threw it to Shuang Bai. The young man took it with both hands, and the metal cannon barrel, which was cold and slippery before, was slightly hot now. There are five narrow slits in the place where Xiang Beiqi was clasped with one hand just now. Carefully insert your five fingers into the slits so that they just fit between the slits. With a little force, you can feel the smooth gears protruding from the bottom of the slits turning. After a while, as long as all five fingers are pressed together, a heavy cannon may be blasted out at any time——
"It looks pretty cool," Beiqi raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get it?" "It was brought out by the seniors from the ruins, you think it's pretty cool too," he smiled wryly again: "At the beginning I I thought so, but it ended up costing five gold coins! I even asked my seniors hard, signed a deed of selling myself, and only then did I get enough money, and after I bought it, I found out that I was so pissed off, it was useless at all!" He said He hatefully kicked away the gravel on the side of the road.
"It's useless at all?" Shuang Bai repeated incredulously, recalling the heavy cannon fired by Beiqi earlier, it obviously sounded very powerful, how could it be useless at all, and the blue light that flashed in the darkness just now was What, lightning?But everything is hard to say. After all, it is an object handed down from ancient ruins. It is really rare to see people use it. Besides, it is far away from the place where the iron cannon was hit. It is impossible to see anything in the dark. It is unknown what the situation is.
"It's useless at all!" Bei Qi shook his head heavily, "Did you know that in ancient times, there was no beast tide at first, and wild beasts would not just go crazy and rush into cities to attack humans?"
Shuang Bai thought of the murals he had seen, nodded, but heard Bei Qi continue: "This cannon barrel is a product of that era, and it was more than enough to deal with the beasts at that time—" He frowned unconsciously: "However, the ferocious beasts that are everywhere in the wilderness now are the beasts of that era who have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to mutate, evolve and multiply. Compared with their ancestors, they have undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only are they resistant to extreme cold, extreme heat, Anti-radiation - these thermal weapons are useless against wild beasts outside now, unless you want to annoy them! Now probably only human abilities and special cold weapons made of alloys can kill them, but all of them are still rough and thick , It will take a long time to just cut it, let me tell you, if humans can evolve into this way, there is no need to worry about the beast tide..."
"Anti-radiation?" Shuang Bai was stunned, vaguely remembered the word, and shouted unconsciously.
"You don't understand this, it's an ancient term..."
"Wait, nukes, right?" He hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, it's nuclear weapons. In the late ancient times, human beings couldn't resist the tide of beasts, so they finally launched nuclear weapons. They didn't kill the crazy beasts, but instead drove the complete end of civilization..."
The two sighed for a while, and then brought up the maze again. All in all, the cannon barrel bought by Beiqi hardware coins not only tickled wild wild beasts, but also couldn't penetrate the maze. According to Beiqi's explanation, he just now As soon as the cannon was fired, the cobweb-like blue light that lit up in the darkness was actually the electric defense net that comes with the maze. As long as there are these defense nets, the artillery can't blast this broken maze. "Actually, it's quite good to demolish houses occasionally..." Bei Qi muttered while looking at the rubble under his feet.
"Otherwise, how long will it take for the two of us to find the right way out?" Shuang Bai asked cautiously.
"Yeah," Bei Qi nodded in agreement, and rubbed his chin: "According to my intelligence, even if this maze can move freely in the dark, let me think about it, um, think about it, it won't take a year In less than a year, as long as there is enough food, I will definitely be able to escape within this year!" He nodded confidently, then paused, "As long as the insect swarm inside is not disturbed——"
"Insect swarm?" Shuang Bai was still thinking about how the two of them should spend the whole year, gnawing on each other's flesh, and then hearing the swarm, he became even more stupid. "Well! Just before chasing the explorers out of the misty lake, the swarms of insects flying all over the wilderness," Bei Qi nodded again: "In the past few days, I found several rooms with huge insect nests in the depths of the maze. I was fully equipped and escaped wittily, let me tell you, there are a lot of white dead bones inside, it is simply beyond your imagination, hey, where are you going, don't run around, it's very dangerous here!"
Frost White went all the way to the end of the corridor and stopped in the corner. He lowered his head, raised the cannon barrel over his shoulder, squinted his eyes, put his five fingers into the slit, and stuck to the smooth iron cannon wall, quietly aiming at the depths of the darkness. , the five fingers suddenly clasped, there was a bang in the ear, and the humming lingering sound echoed, only to hear the rumble in the distant depths, countless scattered blue lightning flashed away in the darkness like a spider web, and finally returned to the place. It was silent.
"Oh, it's useless to say what I said, and don't make a fuss, just in case the swarms of insects come—" Bei Qi's words faded away, and the two of them only felt the faint sound of the swarms' wings fluttering in the dull air nearby. From small to large, Shuang Bai tried his best to stare at the end of the darkness, as if seeing countless dense black spots flying towards the two of them——
"You crow's mouth..." He swallowed, and suddenly crossed the North Banner, and ran with all his might.
Two hours later, the two of them were already out of breath. They stopped back to back, Shuang Bai took a breath, and when he heard the buzzing sound echoing behind him again, he widened his eyes and looked hesitantly. To the pale young man behind him: "How long will they chase?"
"I, how do I know, I haven't been chased! Probably...until it gnaws us into bones?" Bei Qi replied panting with sweat on his face, seeing the swarm of insects slowly approaching at the end of the darkness , he pulled up Shuangbai again, "Run quickly—" the pace suddenly slowed down, "Also, don't run too fast, you can't see the way ahead, if you accidentally crash into the worm nest room, we will be finished... ..."
Shuangbai shook off the other party's hand that was holding him, thinking about it, and asked in a low voice: "Can you stop them for a while?"
"Do you have an idea?" Bei Qi's eyes lit up, "Why didn't you say it sooner?" He clapped his big hand hard on his shoulder: "It made me run so long for nothing..."
"I don't know if it will work, I thought of it just now." Shuang Bai perseveringly threw away the opponent's hand and continued to be a monster.
Bei Qi nodded, and immediately straightened his body: "I'll go over there to block it. If you can't do it, call someone quickly."
Shuang Bai Zheng nodded, and asked again: "How powerful is your cannon barrel?"
"Oh, you don't mean to think——I said it was useless..." Seeing the black swarm of insects approaching slowly, and the continuous sound of flapping wings was so close at hand, Bei Qi patted him on the shoulder again anxiously: " I'll give you 10 minutes at most, if it doesn't work, we'll leave..." He said, avoiding Jiujiu behind him and running towards the swarm.
The slightly slender young man leaned on the way the swarm came, and he showed his back in front of him without hesitation. At this time, if Shuangbai wanted to escape, he could use the other party as a bait to delay the swarm. He had a chance to escape, but he glanced at the young man standing on the edge of the darkness, squatted down, and just as Bei Qi raised his hands, two bright sparks rose from the darkness and spun towards the swarm of insects. The group danced in a dazzling halo, and the road was blocked for a while. Shuang Bai looked at the idle young man at the intersection, and then at his bulging pockets. Finally he felt relieved and patted his side Chirp.
As Bei Qi said, the artillery should be able to blast through the maze, but the power of the artillery was blocked only by the existence of the electric defense network in the wall.What can effectively disrupt the grid?Water, or electricity!Shuangbai thought about it, weighed his glasses, and signaled to Jiujiu to try to gather the largest thundercloud it could gather. While he blasted out the cannon, he lowered the thunder column into the depths of the darkness to interfere with the formation of the defense net. The only problem was The only thing left is whether the artillery is powerful enough.
He gestured with Jiujiu in detail, trying it for the first time, before he could blast the shells on the wall, Jiujiu had already lowered the thunder column, and a huge and graceful tree of blue light suddenly appeared in the darkness, with countless broken or long branches growing from the upper and lower ends. Short or short shiny branches stretched thickly and faintly. This magnificent scene did not last long, and disappeared instantly when the shell exploded. Seeing this, Jiujiu gave a pitiful chirp and rubbed against Shuangbai's legs. , Shuangbai smiled and rubbed the gray hair on Jiujiu's head, shook its ears, smiled lightly, and then came again, and glanced at the North Flag over there, that guy was still very energetic!
In the next round, one man and one beast had the right timing. The moment the shell exploded, before the defensive net was lit up, the thunder cloud immediately struck down countless thunder and lightning, and the shining long snake hunted and devoured the maze in the dark. The lightning flashed on the wall just now, Frost White only felt something crackling in the darkness, and the thunder and lightning from Jiujiu suddenly increased the blue light, the young man seized the opportunity to shoot two more shots, the movement of these two shots was much stronger than the previous two shots It can be called earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods. Half of the maze trembled. After the cannon was fired, there was a continuous and continuous noise. In the darkness, a large piece of the maze wall seemed to collapse. With the cannon barrel retracted, Beiqi has already approached——
"Run!" He roared, chasing up with the ever-growing swarm of bugs behind him, the two ran side by side, Shuang Bai swore, and suddenly realized that when the shaking walls around him were constantly reassembling, he had never run in his life It passed so quickly, the world seemed to be at a standstill, and a dilapidated hole slowly lit up at the end of the endless darkness. The two of them used all their strength to jump out when the hole was getting smaller and smaller!
Shuangbai choked for no reason, and the roots of his ears turned red inadvertently, that...Yaocheng is indeed quite powerful...As for himself...he hesitated, spoke vaguely, and stammered: "Yeah, it's not exactly like that... Hahahaha..." He scratched his head shyly as he said, "It seems that I accidentally offended my mentor, so I was sent here to be punished..."
