Apocalyptic Dark Age

Shi Peng had also sent people to explore the underground before, but there was no time to expand it. There was only an emergency light every few hundred meters. This light was like fireflies at night. The symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning. If you were not careful, you might fall. After finally walking through the narrow ghost gate, we arrived at an even weirder landscape.

This is an underground space that is several kilometers long. The widest is less than 500 meters, and the narrowest is more than ten meters. The ground level is not large, but there are countless cracks. The width of the ground between many cracks is less than a foot. Some of them are less than a foot wide. There are more small cracks in the ground above the gap, and I'm afraid it will collapse if you walk on it.

People who have explored before have also marked danger symbols here. Every gap is a route, but not all routes are safe. To be precise, most routes are not safe. Some of the razor-edged roads have gaps, and many of them are not safe. You need to walk half of the route first and then go around it. Although it is only two or three kilometers, it is like a maze.

Seeing this, Gao Feng was a little confused. There was no problem with a small number of people passing through, but he had two thousand soldiers, what if?

There are long and winding paths like razor blades. Many of the paths are divided into two or three at the front. Some originally very narrow passages are joined by other paths during the extension process, and finally form a avenue, just like The roots of the two big trees are entangled with each other, and the empty space between the roots is a bottomless cliff. Once they fall, they will die without a burial.

“Let the brothers tie themselves together with ropes….”

Unable to advance or retreat, Gao Feng gritted his teeth and made a decision. One person might fall, but ten people wouldn't fall, right?

Of course, Gao Feng didn't need a rope. He walked in front first, carrying two heavy backpacks. Gao Feng was equivalent to the size of two people. As long as he could walk over, the people behind him could.

The narrow gravel passage made countless slight crackling sounds at the foot of the peak. Grains of sand fell off from both sides of the narrow and steep roadbed at the foot. The peak walked forward step by step. Twenty meters behind him, there was an endless line of people. Follow closely.

Twenty meters is the safe distance reserved for peaks. Even if something happens, it will not affect the rest.

Walking cautiously on the long and narrow roadbed, Gao Feng was always paying attention to the changes around him. The eagle eye spent a lot of time. The high-precision night vision device smuggled out from the army allowed Gao Feng to see clearly even the smallest cracks. Many seemingly solid structures The road surface is actually full of cracks, and you can only advance three steps and two steps back during the peak, and make constant detours.

In the midst of high tension, Gao Feng walked nearly half the distance. Looking back, he saw that the long queue was like a twisted snake, stretching to the end. There was no telling how many people still had not set foot on the narrow road. Because of the detours, they could never walk in a straight line, so they looked like weird patterns drawn by black lines.

At this moment, Gao Feng was slightly reassured. At least the roadbed was stronger than he thought. He turned around and continued walking forward. Who knew that with just this turn, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, and he rushed forward.

"broken……."

He screamed in his heart, but he jumped forward quickly, jumping a distance of three to five meters each time. But what he didn't expect was that this jump was even worse. He was carrying two backpacks and the weight of the jump caused the roadbed in front to collapse. It exploded like an explosion, and then the entire roadbed began to collapse, as if a big snake was rolling, shattering the long roadbed. The collapsed roadbed behind the peak was like a ferocious monster chasing after it, and the soldiers behind him screamed in shock, and the collapse The roadbed is a hundred meters away.

Fengfeng finally found a roadbed that would not collapse, but he saw a huge underground cave with a radius of 100 meters behind him. The collapsed roadbed just now also caused the surrounding cracks to collapse. Under the interaction, the entire ground had lost 80% place to stay.

In other words, Gao Feng was isolated from the two thousand soldiers behind him. Although there were some cracks around the cave, the widest cracks were less than the size of a palm. It would be even more unbearable for soldiers with heavy equipment to step on them, which made Gao Feng suddenly worried. .

Although Gao Feng had a way to go back, it would be difficult to deal with the more than two thousand soldiers stuck in the gap. Once another accident occurred, at least 30% of the population of the two brigades would be lost. Just when he was bored, suddenly, behind him A man shouted:

"Don't move, don't move. The bottom is already brittle. If you move, everyone will fall..."

This shout reminded Gao Feng of Wu Dao's loud cry a few days ago. There is no doubt that the person who shouted was Wu Dao who was mixed up in the team.

Spreading his wings, with Wu Dao's surprised eyes, Gao Feng flew around the team and saw at a glance that the roadbed under everyone's feet also had more cracks due to the previous large-scale landslide. Where the cracks did not open, large pieces were falling off. Small and large gravels.

Now we have reached the most embarrassing situation, not far from a desperate situation. Gao Feng is so depressed that he wants to curse. These problems appeared before he officially entered the Eastern Wilderness, which made him suddenly feel restless.

"Great Elder, Great Elder, why did it stop in front..."

The communicator on Don's shoulder came to ask the pole. As the deputy commander, the pole was also in the expedition sequence. The two of them were one at a time, and the communicator was only equipped by the squadron leader and above. It could short-circuit within five kilometers. distance communication.

"It is forbidden for the team to make any noise. No one is allowed to speak without orders. Let the people behind take a break. If something minor happens..."

Gao Feng took a deep breath to calm down. The problem now was not that he couldn't get through, but the impetuousness of nearly a thousand people stuck in the middle, which could lead to huge casualties. People's panic was the biggest disaster.

"Great Elder, do you want someone to withdraw first, and we can do the sum total?"

Zhuang Zi also knew that it was not good and couldn't help but suggest it, but Gao Feng knew that this was the time when morale was at its strongest. Once he withdrew, more problems might arise, and the battle plan was also arranged. If an accident occurred, it would lead to a big disaster in Tianzhao. There are also problems in the army.

"No, it will be solved soon, give me half an hour..." Gao Feng said, looking up at the oppressive rock wall above his head.

Climbing ropes are essential equipment for peak teams, and there are many pitons used with climbing ropes. Originally used as a necessary tool for climbing over cliffs, they are just perfect for use here.

The team following Gao Feng remained silent and did not whisper to each other. They did not want to cause trouble to Gao Feng, but their calves were trembling. Even though they were all elite warriors who drank blood from their swords, they were afraid of falling into the abyss and dying without their bodies intact.

Fortunately, Gao Feng did not sit idle. He flapped his wings and found the lowest cave roof, and dug out small holes with the teeth of the magma beast.

When an aerial rope several hundred meters long was pulled to the opposite side by Fengfeng, a new passage was officially established. However, Fengfeng was still uneasy. There were also cracks in the steep roadbed on the opposite side. If it was drawn from the opposite side, the roadbed would not be allowed to move again. Collapse.

Gao Feng thought of many ways, but finally decided to use the clumsiest method.

The solution was to lose the ability to fly in the cave, melt all the metal, and embed it in the cracks of the rock roadbed under his feet. It was not enough to dissolve the metal he carried, but he also collected more than two hundred shields, more than five hundred daggers, and many Other metal tools carried by the soldiers reinforced the roadbed on both sides, thus preventing a new round of collapse.

When the first warrior came over on a pulley from the opposite side, the road was finally opened. In this way, the team was back on the road, but the road in front was still difficult to walk. Shields were relayed from behind to the front, and again at the peak His hands turned into liquid, covering the cracks in the roadbed beneath his feet.

In the end, after Gao Feng led more than 2,000 people to an underground space where they could temporarily rest, not a single one of the more than 1,500 shields in the team was left, and only less than ten of the more than 2,000 daggers were left. As for the iron pot, Buckets and other utensils for heating hot water have disappeared.

The army at the peak can use the nutritional pills they carry as food, but in the wild, drinking water still needs to be boiled before drinking. This leaves the army with no hot water to drink.

It was impossible for Gao Feng to go back to retrieve the metal. The team of two thousand people was as crowded as an ocean in the small underground space.
