Chapter Seventy-Four: The Voice
When Kara woke up, the inky black sky had returned to the grayish white that had become her daily routine for the past few days. The light around the www.biquge.info was dim, and the breeze stopped at this time. Rubbing her eyes, she wanted to take a few deep breaths, but suddenly found that the morning air was not very fresh, so she dispelled this idea.
"Have I slept for a long time?" Carla glanced at Kasia, who was sitting next to her, quietly looking at the end of the skyline, and followed his gaze, where there were tumbling clouds and nothing. But in her vision, Kasia was fascinated, and her eyes were full of reflections of the landscape.
"No, it's just for a moment. Kasia withdrew her gaze and glanced at the time, "It's only a little past six o'clock, don't you see that the sun hasn't come out yet?" ”
Kara gave an "um" and nodded in agreement. She picked up a mouthful of untouched grape juice and began to drink it slowly.
"You go and rest, there is still action at night, and this is not a place to rest. Carla stood up, her curves stretching out in the cool morning air.
Kasia nodded wordlessly, gave Kara the remaining half-filled bottle of grape juice, and then returned to his small room to rest amid the whispering of the wooden floor.
"Thank you. ”
"It's too early to say those three words, save them for later. Kasia replied with a smile on her face as she walked over. He was not idle for the next three hours of the evening, and in that short time, at the speed of his thoughts, he could go many, many distances.
Back in her room, Kasia collapsed on the bed and closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't wake up at noon, and Kara didn't mean to wake him up, and they were preparing their own things, or resting, or maintaining and familiarizing themselves with new weapons and equipment.
Around 5 p.m., the amount of light began to slowly decrease. At about six o'clock, there was no excessive dusk, and the night suddenly came much earlier. In the dilapidated house not far from the roadside of the barren meadow, there was no light that should have been lit.
Entering the underground sewer network again, Kasia adapted quickly, and the four lights lit up in the dark and narrow waterway, approaching the entrance of Flos, there were gradually more people, and everyone looked hurried, but for the time being, they were all fine.
The walls on both sides of the waterway were riddled with bullet holes, and the exchange of fire was fierce. White bones and brass-colored bullet casings were simply piled up on the sides of the underground waterways, and rats nested in them. Because of their presence, underground waterways can remain as clean as ever. They are the number one contributor when it comes to clearing the battlefield.
The entrance is brightly lit, the passage has been enlarged several times, and there are many more simple lifting devices for rope ladders and hoisting equipment. There are not a few people here now, and most of the people who go down are well prepared, enough to cope with the ten days.
The first time I went down, the darkness that seemed to breathe like life made Cassia uncomfortable, like the tides of the sea, regular but difficult to catch.
There is no lack of light at the end of the rope ladder, and the small open space that was originally the fire fortress of Floss is the people of all parties on guard, and the reserve personnel of their various forces can be regarded as the role of managing logistics.
Their shadows were bathed in the white light of high-pressure mercury lamps, and their eyes were cold as they looked at the people who were still occasionally slowly descending from the rope ladder. Accustomed to it, they didn't say anything to Cassia and his party. Every day, people who have heard the news come down to the mine to look for "urban legends", but there are always more people coming in and fewer people going back in the underground mines. The pursuit of power and money is not a game that can be escaped at any time.
When all the equipment and supplies were delivered, each of them carried a large bag and the necessary lamps, and in a few steps, they were in the sight of the men, like the smoke of incense sticks melted into the air, and their figures disappeared into the dark sea like the tide.
Krichens led the way, and at regular distances there were marks left by Gustin. This was already a mark a few days ago, and now Gustin doesn't know where he is.
They hastened their way, and in three days they came to the place where they had turned back for the first time, which was a rather large battlefield. There were still countless blood-stained bullet casings lying on the ground, as well as corpses that had not yet had time to be eaten by the rats. It was here that the first large team was ambushed by several arms smuggling merchants united by the Sunolt School, killing and wounding most of them, and the joint team was immediately disbanded here.
"After three days of traveling, let's take a rest. Crichens' face was a little emotional, and they walked past the place where the battle was fought and rested in a hidden place ahead.
A few people put down their heavy equipment, and the light was only a small light that was faintly bright. Its light can be completely dimmed by darkness just a few meters away. Ordinary people's eyesight will definitely not be able to catch this subtle light, and even the surgeon, after opening the cross pupil, can only be seen at a considerable distance. And at that distance, they could already spot each other.
Cassia stretched her tired muscles with her backpack and looked at her mechanical watch in the faint light, which showed that it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. But apart from black, the only thing that exists is the wind that circulates in the mine.
Everyone was resting with their eyes closed, and the perception of the whole body was released around the body. It's really not a good place to sleep, because the black is so intense, as if every breath can suck the darkness around your body into your lungs, an eerie feeling.
Half an hour later, they picked up their gear again, followed the mark left by Gustin, and continued on their way. They had a faint feeling in their hearts that Gustin had discovered Norida's traces, otherwise what could be so important that he would not turn back and move on without supplies? In Kasia's impression, Gustin was not a reckless person.
Two days later, when the sound of gunfire and the flames of the explosion in the darkness were completely silent, Kara and Krichens finally breathed a sigh of relief. A rhythmic light lit up in the darkness not far ahead, which was the basic cipher language that had been learned at the military school.
"The other side is already safe, and the enemy is completely destroyed. Crichens read the meaning of the flickering light, his mood relaxed slightly, and he was about to stand up, when he found the sound of a steady, heavy heartbeat of a man not far from him, in the silent darkness. He was all in a cold sweat, his muscles became stiff at this moment, and his body was completely petrified at this moment. He didn't dare to move even the slightest more, because he felt that he was being pointed at the head with a gun, and that feeling was magnified countless times in the darkness!
"Krichens, you're going to have to work harder. Slowly relax your muscles, lay your body flat, and return to the position you were prostrate in the way you just started. "A familiar voice you've heard before!
