Falling into the Abyss

"In this case, it's a bit like a curse written at the entrance of the ancient monarch's tomb." Ethan looked at the translated words floating on the wall, and muttered, "For example, who disturbed Tutankhamun's tomb. Pharaoh’s sleep, death wings will descend on him. But I have never heard of such a strange curse."

There is no curse of death, but only the beginning of a nightmare.

But I don't know why it is more strange and dangerous than the death curse.

The Alpha soldier who was hurriedly helping the sergeant disinfect his burned arm whispered fuck, "So this is a mausoleum? What kind of holy race is that?"

Ethan shrugged. "Maybe it's the kind of bug outside, or the bigger bug we've seen."

Schneider scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. You can't help pushing the door!"

Except for the injured sergeant, the remaining five people pushed the stone door together, but the door did not move as expected. The six people panted in the dim light, and then unanimously, they extended their sights not far away to the deeper underground stairs.

"We can also blow the door open with a bomb."

"But what if those bugs are still outside? And the bomb is so powerful that it blows us up too?"

"But if you go down there are no bugs. Didn't the four eyes over there still say that the holy race might be a bug?"

The six people argued for a long time, and finally Schneider decided to try to blow up the door with a bomb.

Because they instinctively felt that there was a cold and evil smell in the surging darkness under the stairs. No one knows what kind of ancient secrets are buried under the land of this alien planet. The countless ancient inscriptions carved on the rock wall, whether it is a curse or a prophecy, make people shudder.

They set the bomb time, and then everyone rushed down the steps to hide in the depths of the cave. With a bang, the earth moved and the mountains shook, and countless dust roared like a storm to engulf them. Ethan was lying next to Samuel, only to hear the loud rumbling noise in his ears, a stone fell and hit his fingers with severe pain, and other people's exclamations could also be heard vaguely.

Immediately, his forehead was concentrated by a falling rock, and he fell into a brief faint. When he woke up, it was pitch black all around, so dark that for a moment he began to question his existence. Ethan's eyes widened and he couldn't see anything. He didn't know where he was, and a heavy smell of earth was spreading between his mouth and nose. The cough sounded from an uncertain location.

Ethan touched his glasses and put them on his face in vain, but still couldn't see anything. He touched to the side and was caught by another powerful arm. Samus drew him in front of him, groping wildly with his big hand on his face, "Ethan?"

"It's me, it's me, what happened?" Ethan found that his voice was changed by the dust, and there was an itching in his throat, and he coughed embarrassedly. There was a smell of blood in the soil, which made him nauseous, but also a little sweet.

Samus said uncertainly, "Maybe the cave has collapsed..." He seemed to remember something suddenly, and his hand holding Ethan suddenly tightened. He shouted, "Schneider? Schneider???"

It took a long time before there was a hoarse voice not far in front of them, "I am here."

Samuel was obviously relieved. I am afraid that even he himself didn't realize how panic his voice just sounded.

Soon Schneider's voice rang again, "What about the others? All answered!"

"I'm here!" Although the sergeant's voice was weak, he was clearly alive.

"My legs are suppressed!" Another non-human Stan's voice was with enduring pain, and a trace of unnoticeable panic trembling, "I can't move!"

Samuel fumbled with the original machine gun in his hand, trying to illuminate it with the light from the gun. But Schneider found his weapon one step ahead of him, and a beam of light finally tore the dark curtain, and everyone could not help but stretch out his hand to cover the too bright stimulation.

They were still lying on the stairs. The big rock on the top of the cave fell down and scattered around. There was a huge rock just a few steps away from Ethan. If it hit him, it would definitely not Way to survive.

Ethan faintly felt scared, his legs were a little weak. He struggled and stumbled after Samuel, looking for the light to find Schneider's side, and the latter was quickly putting the laser gun aside, trying to remove the huge stone slab on Stan's legs. Obviously, the stone slab was also dropped from the top of the tunnel, and some seal-carved horned characters were vaguely distinguishable.

Ethan looked down and looked carefully, and saw the red blood stains under the boulder. He lowered his body further, and saw that the flesh of the leg that was pressed by the leg had broken, and the bones were scattered and pierced out of it.

These legs are dead, I am afraid I can no longer walk in this life.

Obviously Schneider should also know this truth, but he was still calling Samuel to try his best to lift the stone with him. The sergeant on the other side froze on the other side, fixedly looking at something on the ground. Ethan approached to take a look, only to find a lifeless arm protruding from under a stone slab.

It was the soldier who silently followed the sergeant...

So now there are only five of them left, and Stan’s legs...

Ethan fumbled towards the direction of the cave entrance, but after being tripped several times, all he could touch was a pile of rocks.

The bomb not only failed to help them escape, but also blocked the way out even more deadly.

He vaguely felt that all this was not accidental. There is a kind of power in the dark, forcing them to the depths of darkness. He involuntarily stretched out his hand to touch the back of his neck, where at the moment it was just a piece of rough and jagged skin with scars, nothing unusual. He breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Samuel and said, "No more delay, we have to leave here."

"Then come and help!" Schneider roared irritably.

Ethan's expression was very indifferent. He looked at Stan, who was so pale with pain on the ground, "Even if you remove the slate, he can't walk." The implicit meaning in Ethan's words is very clear, and Samuel is somewhat depressed. Suddenly raised his head to look at him.

The Ethan in Samuel's memory would not say such cold words in such an indifferent tone.

In fact, the moment the words were uttered, even Ethan himself felt surprised. Why did he say what he was thinking about?

Yes, he has no sympathy for Stan, after all, he is not familiar with him, and that person is one of the very devout believers in Chen Zeng's belief in the great evil god, and he is a little disgusted. But with his usual character, he would not say such cruel words.

Schneider's eyes widened even more, "The big deal, I am carrying him!"

Ethan was faintly ashamed, and he stooped to help without saying a word. The three of them even used the energy to suckle, and finally lifted the slate slightly, while the sergeant dragged Stan out. Stan saw the appearance of his stumped leg, and there was a stunned look on his face.

Looking at the appearance of that leg, it is obviously impossible to be cured again, unless a new pair of legs is created using cloning technology. But who would spend so much money to make a pair of cloned legs for an inhuman?

Many of their equipment was buried, and the situation was worse than before the bombs were used. They tried their best to search but only found a marching bag with some compressed food and water in it. But five people are still too nervous. The only gun that can illuminate is the one in Schneider's hand. I don't know when it will run out of energy and completely lose the light source.

In this invisible underground, if there is no light, it is basically a dead end.

Schneider put Stan on his back and let Samus walk in front with the gun lighting. Ethan followed closely behind. They continued to sink down the stairs until their feet finally landed on solid ground again.

In front of them were two heavy and huge pointed arched stone gates, tens of meters high, standing tall in front of them like giants, the top of the gate disappearing into the darkness of the heights. And those two doors were actually open. Behind the doors, the vast space formed a dome a few hundred feet high above the head, and the stone pillars standing on top of each other were arranged in two rows, full of religious solemnity. However, these stone pillars carry asymmetrical sharp corners that have not been seen in other buildings. A sense of distortion and confusion is added to the solemn solemnity. Standing between the two rows of giant pillars, looking towards the end of the perspective, there will be something The pillars are all leaning down and bending, and there is an inexplicable feeling that I will be sucked into the distance.

They slowed down and stepped into the huge hall that was too wide and wide. There are no windows here, but there are indeed some unidentified substances that emit fluorescence on the dome, perhaps plants, that light up the entire underground hall. All around is empty, but the walls are densely packed with many vague reliefs and characters. Their footsteps echoed between the huge pillars, and every echo hit everyone's hearts.

When was such a large project built? Why doesn't the Earth Alliance know at all?

Ethan noticed that there were also lettering on the pillars, densely packed from top to bottom. He leaned closer and found that it was not the language of the Horned Man.

It was a language he had never seen before, twisted and winding, like a worm. They are dense and dense, covering the vision, facing this empty hall for centuries.

He touched his finger, and in a flash, many messy images and images that did not belong to his memory suddenly invaded his mind.

He saw that countless huge insects swarmed out from the core of the dying planet. They squirmed quickly, leaving his huge underground palace that runs through the entire planet, and crawling to the dark red, expanding huge sun. under. In the hot sun, their plump bodies swelled and burst, dark green blood exuded a foul smell, plants and trees wherever they went quickly blackened and withered, and those strange pink animals that Ethan had never seen before were touching them. At the moment of the blood, he quickly turned gray, and then he was motionless.

Immediately afterwards, from the bodies of the bursting fleshy insects, a lot of dark green translucent eggs spewed out. As soon as the eggs were blown by a strange wind, they all flew up like weightless, drifting towards the dying old star. On the barren land crisscrossed with lava, countless eggs emitting glowing green light floated up like the evaporating souls of the entire planet.

Those seeds left the dying home planet and drifted towards the dark and cold universe. They fell into the chaotic river of time and space, through some rare wormholes, came to the Milky Way from the distant universe, and finally landed on a dark blue planet that was most suitable for them at night.

They hate sunlight, but there is almost no sunlight here. Here they conquered the local horns with their own wisdom and were regarded as messengers of the gods. Then they dived into the ground and began to recreate their underground palaces, mating with each other and laying eggs in the huge cavities in those abysses. They are here waiting, until the gods they believe in come.

Ethan's hand suddenly left the stone pillar, and his trance consciousness was instantly pulled back to reality. Samus was holding his wrist half forcibly, looking at him with concern.

He blinked blankly.

"What's the matter with you?" Samus asked with a frown. "What language did you use just now? It sounds weird."
