Apocalyptic Dark Age

Gao Feng was not as calm and indifferent as he appeared on the outside. It was the calmness on the outside that made the people around him feel at ease and not let down by being in a desperate situation. However, this could not solve the problem at the moment. If there was no specific solution, the people around him would The remaining soldiers of the third regiment, like Gu Cun, who would turn their backs on him, were beginning to be unable to hold back.

Following Feng Yeqiang under the illumination of fluorescent sticks, walking in the rugged passages of the troubled times, I have been thinking about ways to escape the difficulties. The passages are cut off and there is a lack of food and water. These are the current big problems, even more than Gao Feng's worries about the ground. Unfortunately, They were trapped underground. Even if they were anxious, they had no choice but to take one step at a time. However, compared to the solemnity of the peak, the Garos were much more relaxed. They jumped easily among the sharp-edged rocks without any worries. Injured by a slip.

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Gao Feng couldn't help but ask Xianjun Jialuo, who didn't know his name next to him. Although they all came down together, it was a bit difficult for Gao Feng to remember all their names. Fortunately, he didn't need to call them accurately. Name them.

"worry about what?"

The Garos of the Maple Leaf family are all about the same age, in their late twenties and early thirties. Maple Leaf Hill is the youngest among them, and the leader is not too young, but his speech is not as calm as he should be at his age.

"Without food, water, and a way out, wouldn't you just die here?"

Gao Feng told the truth. These things can't be deceived. As long as your head has not been caught by the door, you will know the outcome. Hearing this, the other Jialuo burst into laughter. It seemed that Gao Feng had told a big joke.

"Uncle, what's there to worry about? It's true that we didn't eat or drink. We are definitely not the first ones to die. Otherwise, why would we keep those guys? If there's nothing to eat, we'll eat their flesh. If there's nothing to drink, we'll drink them. of blood….”

Another Jia Luo with a ferocious face was interjecting. When Gao Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked up and found that except for him, all the Jia Luo looked normal. With the lighting sticks, it made him look... Their eyes were like those of wolves, shining with green luster, which made people panic.

Gao Feng didn't speak anymore. Some of his words didn't make sense at all. The law of the jungle is a valuable experience learned by the Maple Leaf family with countless lives in the Blackstone Mountains for decades. For them, as long as they are not their own tribe, anyone can be used as food. It doesn't matter. Condemned conscience, some are just naked desire for survival.

When they arrived at the gap, Gao Feng found that things were worse than they thought. The gap in the rock wall extended from the soles of the feet to the top of the tunnel. It was cut off by a whole rock wall. The thinnest part was not much thicker than a hair. , the widest one can just accommodate the palm of your hand extending in vertically, and in most places, you can only extend your fingers at most.

A circular cave was dug in the middle of the gap. It was the rock that Xian Junjia Luo wanted to open with brute force. The depth was about twenty meters. There was no need to climb in. Gao Feng scanned it with his senses and knew what was inside. According to the details, although the gaps in the rock wall can be used for ventilation, they cannot be used as passages. Even if it is a hundred meters away, the widest part of the gap is not as big as a fist. Rats can get in, but nothing else can.

Withdrawing his senses, Gao Feng shook his head at the others. Everyone knew that this road was impassable, but they didn't pay too much attention. Feng Yeqiang whispered:

"How about we drive those people forward to dig holes, kill the disobedient ones and feed the obedient ones. We can always dig a few kilometers before they are all dead. Maybe..."

Feng Yeqiang's method made others nod. Gao Feng wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but in the end he did not say it. The Maple Leaf family is no better than others. Even if Maple Leaf Kuang takes over and allows Gao Feng to temporarily take over the position of clan leader, he is still just an outsider. What's more, the most unstable person here is Jialuo. At the moment of life and death, even father and son will turn against each other, not to mention that Gao Feng is only their uncle in name.

"We haven't reached the last step yet. Don't get into trouble. They have also been betrayed by their own people. If the road is opened and we reach the territory of the underground people, we still need them to cover us..."

Gao Feng persuaded a few words from the side, and he couldn't control whether he could listen to it. Feng Yeqiang and the others naturally nodded in agreement, followed Gao Feng and continued to explore the area where the repatriation collapsed. The further they went, the more stones on the ground piled up. As the number of people increased, many places were buried by the collapsed soil and even the roads could not be seen. Even if they were all Hanjun Jialuo, they still had to dig holes like mice.

"I really don't know how they survived in this ghost place and stayed there for hundreds of years..."

Some people couldn't stand the smell of earth in the cave and complained. Before Gao Feng could say anything, Feng Yeqiang spoke.

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be running to the ground. It's a pity that they can't see clearly that they still want to be the king and hegemony, and they won't be stuck underground..."

These words were like a bright light, suddenly lighting up things that Gao Feng had not been able to see clearly. All the problems that he had not understood before were clearly revealed, such as the engine of Cloud City, the dispute over materials for the floating airship, the rise of Liberty City, and so on. There is the underground trade of the underground Jasmine Consortium, all of which are tied together to form a vein like tree roots, clearly presented in my mind.

Everything is a conspiracy of the underground people. The goal of the conspiracy is that the underground people return to the surface, the black magic virus spreads, and the underground people's genes degenerate. The underground is no longer suitable for human survival. However, because of three ground wars, it is impossible for the underground people to challenge alone. The entire Garo World has learned from the past and must be cautious. Engines are the bait thrown by the underground people. Cloud City and Xihuang are thousands of miles apart, but a large number of engines are sold almost at the same time. This shows that the underground people have been thinking about it for more than a day or two.

Gao Feng also understands why he has become the target of the underground people. The underground people have long been eyeing Xihuang. This is not the hinterland of the Jialuo world. There is no need to compete with the top families for resources. In the eyes of the top families, Xihuang is just the past. It is a desolate place where sinners are exiled. Except for the Xuanye family, which has a certain understanding of the wilderness, I believe that other families do not know the true situation of this land, and they may not care even if it is occupied by underground people.

In this way, the large number of engines provided by the underground people became bribes. This bribe was not explicit. The family and the underground people reached a tacit deal, and all they lost was a barren land without any resources. It's nothing to the Jia Luo world, and as for the natives of the wilderness itself, it's even less of a problem. They're either barbarians or the remnants of the Xuan Ye family, and they're not worth mentioning at all.

I finally figured it out. The target of the underground people was not the peak, nor the high-level people in the Western Wilderness, but the wild land. This barren land that the big families looked down on but the underground people flocked to was the root of everything. , even if the peak does not return, it will not be long before the underground people take action against Xihuang.

Since the invasion of the Wild People, the Underground People have begun to appear in the wilderness. At that time, the Desert People counterattacked the Fortress of Despair, which was also planned by the Underground People. Whether it was Shi Peng, Moyuan or Yan Twenty-Jiu, they were all sent to the surface by the Underground People. Contact person, this is what Gao Feng knows, and there are more things he doesn’t know. No one can guess how many underground people there are in the wilderness who hide their identities. Today, they finally showed their fangs and bit into the wilderness fiercely. come over.

Whether it is an underground ambush or a bloody operation, they are just the means and tools used by the underground people to obtain the wilderness. People do not care about the loss, they only care about whether they can obtain the wilderness. Naturally, they do not care whether the peak is dead or alive. Maybe even the peak After digging the tunnel, there will be countless tanks and missiles ahead waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Gao Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stared blankly at the large and small gravels blocking the exit in front of him in the light of the fluorescent stick. He didn't know whether to dig through the passage in front or to find a way out from behind. On one side was the hostile underground. City, on one side is a possible return to the wilderness.

"Uncle, the fourth one went in to explore the bottom. Unexpectedly, he was almost buried inside. If he wants to get through, he has to take his time. Fortunately, these people will not die of hunger in three or two days, so it should be able to have some effect... ”

Feng Yeqiang saw Gao Feng silently looking at the pile of rubble in front of him, and then explained a few words. Unexpectedly, Gao Feng still didn't say a word, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, making the Garos even more confused, but they also If you are not used to using your brain, you just follow Gao Feng. Just like that, the Nine Garos are like followers, following closely behind Gao Feng. Whenever they see soldiers blocking the way along the way, they will either beat or kick them, and they will fall to this group. Renzhong laid the foundation for his tyranny, making the remaining defeated generals more afraid of Gao Feng and others.

When Gu Cun saw Gao Feng again, he couldn't help but look expectantly. However, no one was willing to wait for death if there was a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly, Gao Feng also ignored him and just sat not far away, frowning and thinking. Smoking one cigarette after another.

After Gao Feng finished smoking the last cigarette in the cigarette box, he also figured out the clues. Not to mention that the collapsed tunnel behind was the explosion point. The explosives detonated were at least ten times more than before. No one knew how many there were. The earth and stone are blocked behind, and it may not be possible to dig through it in a lifetime. Even if it is not blocked, Xihuang probably has gathered the main force of the underground people. Even if he becomes Xianjun Jialuo, he may not be able to survive the bombardment of thousands of shells. , On the contrary, there is a chance to keep moving forward, not to mention that the underground is connected in all directions. He can go directly to the Ghost Mist Stream without entering the underground city.

After thinking about it, Gao Feng's anxious mind became much more at ease. He forced himself not to think about the miserable scene after the invasion of Xihuang, and turned his attention to Gu Cun...

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-three brothers who are still alive. Most of them have minor injuries. Twelve have minor fractures and cannot be used as laborers. In addition, we lack tools. Many of them don't even have tactical gloves and can only use their bare hands. The biggest difficulty in moving stones is the lack of food and water. If it continues like this tomorrow, not more than half of the people will be able to work. By tomorrow night, everyone will be too weak to move..."

Gu Cun was able to barely stand by Gao Feng for the time being. The medical kit that Feng Ye forcibly brought back saved Gu Cun from the pain and torture. In addition, after a long conversation with Gao Feng, he understood his dire situation, although he was still thinking about Gao Feng's ultimate fate. Agreement, but for now we can still ensure that we work together to open a way forward.

The ragged soldiers of the third regiment lined up one by one in a long line, passing the small and large gravels in their hands. Many people's palms were scratched by sharp edges, and the flowing blood formed a bloody line under their feet. On the contrary, Jia Luo He had no intention of taking action, so he just stood aside and watched, which made many people look at him with side eyes, but they dared not speak in anger.

"It's a bit difficult at this speed..."

Gao Feng shook his head helplessly. After more than two hours of transportation, the excavation speed was less than ten meters. If you calculate it this way, ten hours of continuous transportation can clear a distance of less than two hundred meters at most. This is something Jialuo can do at any time. The premise is to smash the boulders blocking the road, and it is impossible for this group of defeated soldiers who have no food or water to work continuously for ten hours. To be precise, if they work continuously for half an hour, they need to rest for ten minutes to recover their strength.

"It would be great if there was water. They have all been trained to starve. They can survive three days without eating, but if there is no water..."

Gu Cun touched the kettle on his waist with an ugly expression. This kettle was given to him by Gao Feng. Even as the leader, he had no intention of sharing the kettle with his subordinates. At this time, a drop of water might be a glimmer of hope.

"I'll solve the water problem. I don't even need to worry about food. I just need progress. The sooner we get through it, the better..."

Speaking of water and food, Gao Feng's brows flew up. This was the only good news at the moment. Maybe others couldn't get water, but it was no problem for him. Just now, he discovered that the underground was not completely devoid of physical resources.
