Restricted Doomsday Syndrome Chapter 1429: Quiet and weird

The underground river spreads to the darkness ahead, the air humidity is extremely high, and the source waterfall emits a huge echo, which makes people feel dizzy and bored. ↖, I took Dr. Ruan Li quickly to a drier place, but the rock and soil here was also softened by water, and half a footprint would be left when stepping on it. The chain determination quickly observed that someone had been here. , And leave a trace. Doctor Ruan Li shivered and his face was extremely ugly, as if he was about to die, which made me feel that I must start the fire as soon as possible.

I opened the suitcase by her side. The waterproofness of the suitcase is excellent. We have soaked in the water for so long, and there is no trace of wetness in the suitcase. Dr. Ruan Li tried to untie the infiltrated clothes with a trembling hand, but tried several times without success. The situation was so bleak that it was unbearable to witness. I had already taken out the blanket, and quickly stepped forward to help her unbutton it, took off the *** together, and then wrapped her in the blanket.

The humidity here is still heavy, and the water mist can be seen undulating under the light with the naked eye. There are aquatic plants and some small shrubs growing in the underground river, but no dry natural burns can be found. I cut a large handful of turf and wood, and poured out all the safe burning things in the suitcase. Then I picked up a few big rocks and piled them into a firepit, smashed several lighters, and took oil to ignite them. . After a busy time, the bonfire finally rose, the smoke was quite big, and the smell was very unpleasant, but finally there was a little warmth.

There is also a little wind in the underground river, but it is difficult to tell where the air flow started, and it is difficult to feel the skin. It can only be judged by the inclination of the smoke. I placed Dr. Ruan Li upwind, piled the damp grass and trees by the bonfire, and spread the damp clothes on the rocks.

The heat of the bonfire is transferred in the air, and the mist is mixed with smoke to become more dense. Dr. Ruan Li's trembling gradually ceased, and his face gradually became bloody. I melted the chocolate with a quilt, wrapped it in my clothes and handed it to her, so that I can deal with my own affairs. I don't know exactly what to do next, but I basically walked along the underground river, crossed the border between the peninsula and the mainland, and found another exit. but. The direction of the underground river may extend in all directions. Where is safe and dangerous, and how to confirm your position relative to the ground requires more information.

In short, reaching this underground river was a crucial victory, but it was far from reassuring. Dr. Ruan Li may know something about the underground river, but something more specific. Still on her friend "Gus". If we can't find "Gus", we have to try our luck.

Furthermore, the lady in red that I encountered before arriving at this underground river, and the series of weird situations that only I can see, all imply that the 51st District is not ignorant of this route. Maybe it has some profound intentions. I won’t mention it for the time being, but. Our actions are by no means secret.

I did not share these concerns to Dr. Ruan Li. After all, even if it is said, there is no better solution. Even if this road is dangerous, it may fall short at the end, but other routes are not better.

"You take a break, A Chuan." Dr. Ruan Li's voice finally calmed down.

I responded. She changed into dry clothes, took the melted chocolate by the campfire, and sat beside her quietly drinking.

"If Gus is there, we can bring more things down." Dr. Ruan Li said: "According to the original plan, we should ride on an air bed. Rafting along this river can save time. Many, but now, we can only walk for a while and then see if there is a chance to be a raft."

"Gus has been here, has he explored forward?" I asked: "How did he know that this underground river leads to the interior?"

"It's just taking samples to measure, and then calculating through data and experience. Before graduating from university, he studied geology, and then changed his career." Dr. Ruan Li smiled, seeming to remember the things he met back then. , Maybe for Dr. Ruan Li, this Gus is indeed a good friend, but now I can’t keep trust in this missing person. No, it should be said that except for Dr. Nguyen Li, I am wary of anyone on the peninsula. Even if Gus is really a good friend sincerely, if he is just an ordinary person, there are countless ways to make him do things against his will. However, it is of course impossible for me to express this kind of suspicion and caution in front of Dr. Ruan Li.

"We don't have a map of the underground river. If we encounter a fork, we don't know where to go." I just asked a new question calmly.

"Look at luck. It is at least safer here than on the ground." Dr. Ruan Li also showed a distressed expression, but soon let go. She said, "My luck has always been good."

Her statement is very familiar to a mystery expert like me. Isn’t it just those of us who pay attention to intuition and luck? Mysterious events are inherently impossible to predict what will happen, and it is impossible to make plans for possible problems in advance. In fact, if this underground river is also involved in the "mystery", then any scientific exploration of the information obtained, ten of them have been invalidated.

My answer to whether this underground river is involved in "mystery" is actually very clear. There must be some kind of "mystery" here, and it is man-made "mystery". Otherwise, the lady in red would not appear here. But to ask me what she really wants to do, and why many weird phenomena did not show offensiveness before, I cannot answer.

In this case, besides looking at luck and adaptability, what else can be done?

If I can, I hope I can meet other mystery experts here. If I can talk, there is always a way I can think of, and I can come up with some intelligence no matter what. The girl in the red dress is like a ghost. I think she is avoiding Dr. Ruan Li and me. Compared with the power that she may have, the level of temptation is not even comparable to the previous attacks she carried out. I would rather think that it was a show.

If the other party gets serious and confronts us with the idea of ​​killing everything, the pressure I have to bear will be at least ten times higher.

I thought quietly and threw the slightly dry branches into the bonfire. Ten minutes later, I drank the last hot chocolate in one breath. Doctor Ruan Li stood up, took off his blanket, picked up the dry inner and outer clothes and changed. I know that she no longer wants to stay where she is.

"If the food we bring is frugal, it can last for a week." Dr. Ruan Li said as he filled the water bottle with water from the underground river, "Gus has tested it, and the water here is still drinking. Within the standard. However, no one can predict how the water quality will change as you move forward."

I helped to repack the luggage. Two-thirds of the luggage that was originally full of two boxes has now been completely burned. I wondered what use this empty box would do after disposing of the remaining third. In fact, if there is a temporary data hedge in this underground river, you can use the fourth-level magic veins to transform the structure to make ships. My expected opponent is the lady in red. But in the previous few collisions, the temporary data hedging generated by her mystery could not reach the level of use.

Dr. Ruan Li changed into tight-fitting sportswear for easy mobility, and tied his hair into a ponytail with a rope. He looked a lot younger than the previous researcher in the white lab coat. Picking up the lighter suitcase in one hand and the flashlight in the other, he greeted me and walked along the river. I quickly put the searchlight on my forehead. Lift the suitcase to catch up.

The creatures that live in the underground river are not only me and Dr. Ruan Li. Plants and fungi are not scarce. And some weird creatures are constantly appearing in the field of vision. They are mostly quiet, alert, and mostly reptiles. Some of these creatures know at a glance that they are variants of certain animals on the ground, but some have not been seen at all. Dr. Ruan Li seemed to be surprised by this, and from time to time he exclaimed natural wonder.

These animals and plants all show strong light aversion, when the beam of searchlight passes by. You will always see the outlines of large and small bees spread out, and the leaves of many plants will curl up. We walk here as if outsiders broke into a closed village, being watched and tempted. Also frightened. Dr. Ruan Li looked very relaxed on the surface, but his eyes and movements were a bit startled.

This unfamiliar environment is enough for ordinary people to feel the unknown and unpredictable threats that are difficult to experience in normal times. However, it seems that it is such an environment that Dr. Ruan Li has no time to think about superfluous things. She classified all the abnormalities she had seen before as abnormalities of her own mental state, and this abnormality of mental state was the result of the erosion of White Claudia. I think she may feel that she will die soon, and she will soon become a "lunatic" like other patients. I want to comfort her and unravel her, but as an expert in researching Claudia White, the consolation I give as a patient will not have much weight.

That’s it, we walked one foot deep and one shallow foot one after the other. I can use quick swipes to speed up the process, but there is an instinct that prevents me from doing that. It’s hard for me to make this intuition clear. It seems to have suddenly appeared in my mind, an unprovoked thought. There may not be any evidence to prove its correctness. It may even disappear for a moment, but it does remain in my mind. Traces of existence.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the source waterfall of the underground river has been completely left behind by us, even if we look back, we can't see it again. The sound of the waterfall hitting the water surface can no longer overcome the trickling sound of the underground river. Dr. Ruan Li may really not feel the abnormality, but in my chain judgment, the human figures in this underground river continue to flow upstream. They are like corpses abandoned in the water, quietly making the heart hairy.

The underground river is like a huge transportation pipe belt that transports these human figures from downstream. I have tried to reach into the water to salvage them, but they are like phantoms passing through the palm of my finger. Except for running water, there is no touch.

As expected, the first fork road soon appeared in front of us. The river was divided into two, but it was not that difficult to choose, because the depth and width of the two rivers are different, and the water quality is also One place is muddy, one place is clean. Dr. Ruan Li led me to a wider river course, but before turning over, I took a look at the depths of the shallower river course. The darkness can deceive my naked eyes, but it cannot interfere with the chain determination-in the depths of this river course. Everywhere, the human figures are like garbage piled up, making people feel that the river is blocked there.

What is the origin of these human figures? My doubts are deeper. I don't know why. Although they look like corpses, I think they will come back to life at any time.

No, it should be said that even if it comes back to life, it is not a rare thing.

We searched all the way along the river. Although there was no danger, the scenery gradually became monotonous. Even if we spoke, we felt that the topic began to dry up. Mental fatigue is more obvious than mental fatigue. I feel a little abnormal, because I am not an ordinary person, and the mental state of the mysterious expert is much tougher than ordinary people. However, my own specificity has not made me perform better than Dr. Ruan Li. It seems that there is some kind of "mystery", and I forcefully **** my energy in a targeted way.

On this day, we only had a total of three hours of rest. However, when Dr. Ruan Li stepped into a new side road again, she screamed: "Why, how is it possible!" She took a few steps forward. , I went to a lithosphere and looked at the traces on it carefully. I also noticed that it was clearly portrayed by humans.

"What is this?" I asked. The trace is like some kind of symbol, but only half is left.

"The mark left by Gus~IndoMTL.com~Doctor Ruan Li seems to be shocked by this. But I don’t understand why she was shocked. Gus is missing. Maybe this mark proves that he came to this place by himself. Although we were a little embarrassed when we came in, Gus, who has already been here once, can of course be easier.

"Something happened, right here." Dr. Ruan Li's expression became serious, and he said in a conclusive tone.

"I don't understand." I don't quite understand why Dr. Ruan Li was so surprised and so determined.

"I agreed with Gus that if you didn’t see us, you would never enter this underground river." Dr. Ruan Li turned his head and stared at me and said, "Compared to any sudden possibility, I I believe he will abide by this agreement."

"Maybe he can't control himself." I said.

"Breaching the agreement will lead to death." Dr. Ruan Li suddenly said in a strange tone, "For whatever reason, once he enters the underground river without meeting us, he will definitely die."

Her remarks are almost like a curse, but talking about curses is totally inconsistent with the style of a scientism warrior she usually shows. (To be continued...)
