Chapter 176: The Realm of Death
"Holy! It's a gold mine! Long Yun suddenly shouted, the sound was a little loud, and the sound waves kept hitting back and forth in the empty tunnel, and the echoes were bursting, making people feel a little creepy.
When the sailors heard that it was a gold mine, they also approached in amazement.
Although he is a straightforward guy, his straightforwardness does not diminish his curiosity in the slightest.
His fingers were as hard as steel, and it was easy to tear a stone off the wall and study it under a tactical flashlight.
"It's a gold mine." After studying it for a while, he put the stone in the palm of his hand and weighed it, which was heavier than ordinary stones.
"It's not surprising that South Africa is a big gold producer, and the world's largest gold mine is the South African Rand Gold Mine, which has been more than 130 years old and has produced 3 gold. 50,000 tons, and now there are reserves 1. 80,000 tons, still accounting for 52% of the world's total gold reserves. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the gold here's pretty pure! Didn't expect there to be such a huge bonanza under the Cape Town docks? Long Yun smiled: "Dig it back, and we will be rich." ”
"This is not the underground of Cape Town's port, we were swept into another place and a trap was set for us." Gege sighed and said, "Let's go, the gold here can't save us." ”
Long Yun listened to Gege's tone, as if he had been here, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, do you know where this is?" Just tell me, what the hell is this place, I'm confused right now, we just entered an office building, how did we get to such a hellish place. ”
Gege didn't seem to be in the mood to ignore Long Yun, walked towards the depths of the tunnel, walked more than ten meters away, stood in the dark and whispered, "You're right, this is a ghost place." ”
Long Yun and the sailor glanced at each other, and at this point, the two big men really had no choice but to follow this iceberg girl.
As for where to go? The devil knows!
The three of them trudged through a dark tunnel, one foot deep and one shallow. It was pitch black on the front and back, but fortunately, everyone's equipment was very complete, and the equipment transformed by the equipment department of the Tianmu Company was quite reliable, and the effect was also very good, just the equipment such as night vision devices and tactical flashlights had enough power, enough for them to maintain a week's use period.
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up, and the tunnel seemed to come to an end, and a vast plain appeared in front of everyone.
But it was still dark, much better than in the tunnels, but it was still dark, and it looked like London, which had been heavily polluted at the beginning of the 18th century, when the Industrial Revolution had begun, with a thick cloud of gray in the sky, which seemed to be very low above the ground.
As far as the eye can see, there seems to be a vast forest, but this forest looks very strange. In front of the forest, a large rushing river stands in front of it, and the most striking thing is that there is a large golden suspension bridge with two round towers at the head of the bridge, which looks very old in style.
Long Yun raised his left hand and connected the night vision goggles on his head to the PAD on his arm, scanning the forest and the suspension bridge in several different ways.
This thing is the high-tech equipment of the Sky Curtain Company, although the depth and effect of scanning are not as large as the slightly larger scanner in Hayabusa's hand, but it also has functions such as thermal imaging, low-light imaging, infrared imaging, and life detection.
To his disappointment, however, the forest seemed dead silent, with no sign of any living creatures surviving, and the same was true on the bridge, with nothing to be excited about.
"I've been walking for so long, and I haven't seen a single living thing! It's so depressing! Long Yun turned off the night vision goggles in frustration and pushed them back onto the top of the helmet. He now has the feeling of throwing his fist hard but smashing it on the cotton, originally thought that he would encounter a fierce battle when he entered the CMC company office building, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to touch an enemy, and he was tossed to death by the strange building.
"You won't see the ...... of the living," Gege clasped his hands and looked at the forest in front of him, "I said you two big men, we are facing a difficult choice now......
"What hard choice?" Long Yun and the sailor asked in unison, everyone felt that there was something in Gege's words, and they seemed to see some clues.
"This is Heim's underworld, not the ...... of the world"
"What do you say? Not the world? Long Yun was a little confused when he heard it, "Underworld? Hell? ”
"It's almost like hell, Heim's underworld is the mythical underworld recorded in "Old Edda", which is the so-called hell, a place of eternal night, which can only be reached by the dead, so it is also called the country of death." Gege pointed to the forest in the distance and said, "If I guess correctly, that river is the Geor, the bridge on the river is the gilded crystal suspension bridge connecting to the underworld, and the forest on the other side is the famous 'Iron Forest'. ”
"You mean, we're hanging now?" Long Yun's eyes were so shocked that they were about to fall to the ground, "Why didn't I see an enemy, I missed a shot, and was thrown into hell?" ”
"It's a trap where someone cast a huge alchemy formation in the CMC building, using the power of the runes of the gods to open the door to Heim's underworld. I think the twenty or so guys that Lena saw entering the building on satellite surveillance must have been wizards from the Atlantis Restoration Society, and at least one of them was a priest. ”
Gege's gaze fell on Long Yun, sweeping around, as if he wanted to see through him.
"What are you looking at me for? I didn't make it! Long Yun sat on the ground and replied angrily, there are no words to describe his depression, in his eyes, he is a lively and good person, but he fell into hell for some reason......
"Can we go back to the elevator, fix it, and get back into the building?"
"It's useless, the moment we walk into the building, we have already stepped into hell with one foot, and when we enter the elevator, it is equivalent to getting a one-way ticket to hell, and there is never a return here." Gege shook his head and said helplessly: "In the Heim Underworld, there is only one person who has a return ticket in his hand......"
"Who? How much? When Long Yun heard that there was a way to go back, he happily bounced up from the ground, "Let's go and find the maid, if you are willing to sell, if you refuse to sell, you will rob the maid!" ”
"Rob?" Gege suddenly giggled, laughing wildly.
Long Yun looked at the sailor with a black line, but the latter's face also seemed to be very ugly.
"One laughs, the other is stupid, what's so funny!?" Long Yun looked at Gege, who was still laughing breathlessly, and the sailor who looked like a clay sculpture, "What's wrong?" Anyway, it's all about looking for a chance to go out, isn't it? We have guns, cannons and explosives in our hands, so I can't grab a ticket! ”
"Actually, that return ticket......" the sailor finally said, "in Hela's hands?" ”
"Hela? Hear this name is female? Long Yun smacked his lips, "Whether it's a woman or not, although I don't be rough with women, but when the situation is forced to do so, I will still overlord the bow." ”
Listening to Long Yun's bold words, Gege laughed so much that he almost knelt on the ground, pounding the ground with his hands.
"Holy! Are you crazy? Long Yun felt that this girl was hopeless, and only knew how to laugh, probably because she was collapsed by the bad situation here.
"Big guy! What's wrong with her? ”
She ...... She just thought it was funny. The sailor shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help but laugh himself, "You don't know who Hela is?" In all the Norse texts, she is the one known as the 'Grim Reaper', who rules over the entire Heim underworld. ”
"Death?" Long Yun couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, this head was really too big, and he couldn't help but remind people of the sneaky and cold guy in the movie who was dressed in a black robe and stood behind a big scythe behind the dying man.
"Death is death, according to our Chinese saying, our life is not over, we are not dead, she has no right to leave us here. Otherwise, I'll learn from the Great Sage and burn the life and death book here! ”
