The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C63
If I get it right, my brain will explode. In a moment of desperation, he didn’t tilt his head and instead grabbed the damned thing’s wrist. That force seemed to be a thousand pounds heavy, and I was simply unable to stop it. But it was still a cushion. I took advantage of the momentum to squat, and half of my body turned to the side, barely dodging the attack.
Why did this black man seem to have intelligence? Could it be that the corpse puppet in the water looked like this?
When the attack missed, a leg came at him. This time, he wasn’t able to dodge. His lower leg bone was kicked, which left him in dull pain.
Why are these legs so hard? It was as if a stone had been thrown at him. How could he continue fighting? I aimed at the opportunity and jumped to the other side of the crevice. The black figure stood there dumbly, as if it had lost its target.
When he reached the fissure, the smell became pungent. It was like the usual sulphur smell that came from a warm spring, mixed with the smell of acetic acid. The black had crawled back to the ground and was slowly backing up and back into the stone forest. I could see it all, like a scorpion crawling backwards and backwards to the left.
My mind jolted. The other two were still inside! Moreover, the strength of those two are not as strong as me, so how can I deal with them when they come into contact with this thing?
That wasn’t even the main point. The main point was, where did the two of them go? After such a long time, the snail could climb out.
I didn’t rush in to look for it. Instead, I jumped to the gap that I had made earlier and started crawling towards it. It looks like I’m going to jump back out. Anyway, he had to leave it here first. At first, I seemed to be in high spirits, but now, after being tossed around by me, I feel that if he really had intelligence, he would probably spit out blood due to my anger.
It worked. While it was crawling back, I wanted to see where the other two little red dots on my watch were, but the suit was opaque.
I was so bored that I took off my sleeve and jumped back. The two little red dots on it didn’t flicker, but they weren’t far from mine.
I glanced at the darkness on the ground and scanned the stone forest.
What happened? Wei Yuting and the rest were still inside, but they didn’t move an inch. They were probably in trouble.
Anxious, I thought of the cold feeling I felt when I was dragged back. Looking at the thing before me, I steeled my heart and prepared to bring it over.
This black thing won’t attack me behind the crack. There were two possibilities: one would not be able to pass through the crack, and the other would prevent him from finding my trail. Either would be beneficial. If the ball that kicked me was made of the same material as the ball, then it was hard and not hard. If I pulled this over to the other side of the crack, I would be able to find them both.
The man with the black matches stood up. I lifted one of my feet, and the black man pounced! I immediately jumped over, but the black man unexpectedly fell limply into the crevice. When I looked carefully, my head was stretched towards the crack. I couldn’t retract it in time and became ‘soft’. I was unable to move from the position where it was hanging on the crack.
I chuckled and jumped back to kick him. “Go over there!”
I used a lot of strength for this kick. With a sharp screech, the part that entered the crack was immediately hung up with a ‘pa’ sound. It slowly melted into a puddle of water in my sight.
That looks like a monkey, but also like a chicken, but not like a chicken. I didn’t look into it. I climbed down to see where they were. I clearly heard what was going on before, so I should have arrived long ago.
A figure lay unconscious not far away, and I reached sideways for it, then pulled it out bit by bit. Fortunately, both he and I had decent diving gear, and although the diaphragm was slightly damaged, at least it wasn’t damaged.
It might have been me who woke them up, so why would they open their eyes after a while? Immediately, their expressions changed greatly as they said, “Yuting! Yu Ting is still inside! ”
I think so, too, and comfort him. I’ll go in and let him see if he’s all right. What do you mean by shaking my head? I went back in and dragged Wei Yuting over. It was fortunate that she didn’t feel anything when she thought about it.
What do you mean by relieved. It was only when he said it that I understood. They also felt the cold sensation on their ankles, but they didn’t give me a hard kick like I did, and chose to continue crawling towards me. Unexpectedly, the feeling became heavier and heavier, almost locking his feet in place. He couldn’t move his feet at all. At this moment, he became anxious and wanted to tell me to be more careful. However, his back suddenly felt heavy, and he actually fell asleep in a daze. I forced myself to focus on seeing me come in again, then fell asleep again after saying, “Why did you come in again?”
I clicked my tongue. Wei Yuting was probably in the same situation. This couple can be considered to be a poor couple. At least a single dog of mine came out on its own, and I dragged both of them out alive.
For safety’s sake, why did I carry Wei Yuting to the other side of the crevice? Beside me, there were three bags. He heaved a long sigh of relief and waited for Wei Yuting to wake up before setting off.
After two to three minutes, Wei Yuting slowly woke up. But her backpack came to me. According to her, her chest and back were all painful, but the back was stuffy and the front was burning in pain. It’s my pot, too.
The road in front of us isn’t a straight line anymore but a huge corner. My body grinds against the surrounding walls to explore the road. Every so often, there would be a black tunnel leading to who knows where.
Naturally, we took the main road, but unexpectedly, a “wall” suddenly appeared in front of us.
Said it was a wall. It was more like a cut screen, with space on top and left and right, about half the width of my arm. But we can’t make it.
I turned around and asked for their opinion, and I finally came to an agreement —
Blast it.
We have waterproof powder in our bags, so we don’t have to pour it all out. What do you mean by pulling a fuse to the ground, “Boom!”
Luckily, we dodged far away, otherwise those stones would have directly flown into our faces. I only used two knuckles in a bag of explosives to have this kind of power, it was really shocking.
The roar woke us all up a little. There’s still not enough. This wall isn’t completely broken, but it’s big enough for us to pass through. I don’t dare to use too many of them, just in case we blow up the wall above us, we won’t need to look for any stone tablets, we can just wait for Shui Yan to come in and put on his hat and leave.
“Young man, you sure have a good grasp of the situation.” “Of course.” I chuckled.
He had already seen the road through the gap in the gate, so it was no different from this place. He had no idea what this thing was used for.
But then he thought, if he didn’t bring the explosive, or if he didn’t control the quantity well, this place might collapse. At that time, without the diving equipment, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape even if he held his breath for a few minutes, and could only bury himself at the bottom of the sea.
Moreover, the construction period of this place was very early. At that time, only black gunpowder was left in the East Han Dynasty, and its power was hard to control.
My heart shuddered, but I didn’t go far before I came to another wall. I took the flashlight and shone it carefully. There was not much difference between it and the previous one. Just as he was about to make his move, Wei Yuting suddenly called out to stop him, “Wait a moment!” “Huh?” Why did I look at her with doubt?
Wei Yuting walked up and knocked on the brick. Suddenly, she crossed her leg and kicked — — “Boom!”
The kick knocked over half of the wall, causing the dust and bricks to fall with a crackling sound. Why did I stare at him with my mouth wide open? I gave a shudder.
Wei Yuting turned around, probably seeing my flinching look. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, “What are you doing?” Your power… I won’t dare to offend you anymore. ” I said.
This girl’s strength is a bit too terrifying, right? The place where we detonated the explosives, she was able to break it open with one kick. The quality of the explosives provided must not be low.
Wei Yuting did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This wall is made of air.” Of the heart? ”
A chill rose in my heart. If this wall is half empty and I use the same dosage, then surely… Definitely …!
The consequences would be tragic!
Wei Yuting sighed, “That’s very sinister. It was all thanks to my grandfather telling me about this. He had nothing better to do, so he cut a wall in our own backyard and sealed up some of his old coins and boxes and jars and stuffed them into the wall. “I didn’t know this before. My dad bought a safe to lock up antiques and smashed the side of the wall with his foot. He took the box out from behind the marked brick and I just watched.”
Me: “…”
What do you mean: “…”
This technical old man’s behavior was a little scary.
Some of the walls I came across were hollow, some were solid, some were of different widths, and by the time I was numb, I’d kick them up, and if they couldn’t be kicked, I’d put explosives on them, in doses calculated by thickness.
There were a total of eight doors. My legs were about to cramp up. My eyes suddenly lit up, but there was nothing I could see clearly.
The flashlight and I moved forward. In front of us was a bronze mirror, but the surface of the mirror was uneven, causing my body to lengthen like a demon.
Wei Yuting was already screaming as she hid behind him. The moment I saw my body, my calf also twitched.
The moment we move, the demons within quiver and change. What was this? I coughed and asked, “How do I get there?”
This kind of relic was different from the green bricks in front of it. With such a large mirror, the research value was indescribable, it couldn’t possibly explode.
Besides, the mirror completely separated us from the road behind, and we had no idea what was behind it.
As I stepped forward to take a closer look, I saw that there were countless small mirrors falling on top of the mirror. I tried to push it, but it wouldn’t budge. As we drew near, the eyes of the monster that looked like me were about to pop out from their sockets.
I found nothing and had to turn back regretfully. Wei Yuting was also thinking about what was going on. She did not dare to look at the mirror, so she pulled on his sleeves and quickly hung herself on his chest. She did not have any constructive suggestions at all.
I was so conflicted that I could only scan the mirror over and over again. When I touched a spot on the mirror, I felt a sharp pain. Luckily, I wasn’t injured by the diving suit. I was just touching the top of the ring when I poked it, because the thorn was more than a circle thinner than the pattern on the bottom, and it was stuck in the middle of the ring. I didn’t notice it at all.
It didn’t look like much, but I sensed something and immediately squatted down to examine the spike.
Spikes were rarely seen in a mirror used for dressing up. Even such a large mirror.
The craftsmanship was very meticulous and the thorn was not the size of an ordinary small thorn. It should have been unintentional or else it would have been shaved off long ago.
I tried to step back, but the spike wouldn’t budge. It wasn’t a soft wooden spike.
I was delighted. There must be something strange going on, there might be something on this path.
He didn’t know if the craftsmen who built these places were a group of people, but he had used this thorny method on the Pingji Mountain before.
I tried pressing the spike down. It felt elastic, and after all, it was hard to move a finger.
After greeting him, I ran back to pick up the rocks. Just as I bent down, my back suddenly tightened and my diving suit tightened again.
I was stunned and immediately rolled onto the ground. I heard a ji sound.
It was the black animal from earlier.
I immediately picked up the brick and leaned it against the wall. I slipped, and the sharp black hair pricked my leg. I looked down and actually saw a pair of red eyes glaring fiercely at me.
