1184 Underground Floating City
The underground world has dangers and mystery that people on the ground will never know. Every time the establishment of a new dungeon means that countless pioneers use their corpses to build the foundation for the establishment of dungeons. However, so far, there are less than 60 dungeons in the vast underground world, divided into four major military regions, scattered underground with a radius of millions of square kilometers. The reason is that the solid space underground is limited, and the space that can have resources and water sources is even more sparse, making it more difficult for humans to survive underground.
Due to the limitation of living space, many people may not be able to live a worry-free life in the city. Fierce competition and heavy work pressure have led to many people becoming losers, losing their jobs and housing, wandering into relief households, and accepting free nutritional pills from the dungeon to survive.
Nutrition pills are the lowest food in dungeons and do not have so-called nutrients. Long-term consumption will weaken the human body and easily cause sudden death. Many people are unwilling to be poisoned by nutrition pills and have to leave the dungeon and go to the outside world to survive. In some small underground caves, small towns and settlements that are not protected by the military are spontaneously formed.
When the scattered settlements in the underground world spread out, some people became explorers, discovered various minerals and made money, while others became bandits, making a living by robbing. They were also parasites in the underground passages, collecting protection fees from caravans to get rich, hoping to return to the dungeon one day and become rich people envied by others.
The underground world is more cruel than the ground. Firefighting and killing happens every moment. In many forgotten corners, there are victims' bones covered with dust waiting to be forgotten. Only when you meet visitors occasionally will you tell the miserable people about their past misery.
The foggy fluorescent lamp appeared in the vast darkness, as if it was about to be swallowed by the darkness. The group of people were walking in the darkness under the protection of the light, thinking about moving forward in the unknown distance, and heard a crisp sound. Gao Feng lowered his head and saw a piece of white thigh bone in the dust being trampled by himself. He lifted up the airflow brought by his right foot to blow away the dust covering the leg bones, but saw layers of white bones entangled in complexity.
Maple Yeqiang, who saw Gao Feng stopping, waved his head behind him. A Maple Ye Jialu took the initiative to step forward, gestured with strange gestures in his hands and made a loud shout. As his angry voice spread in the silent space, the stacks of dust receded like a tide, revealing dozens of white bones. Looking around, the area within a radius of 100 meters was full of white bones, and a hundred meters away was a place where fluorescent lamps could not shine. It seemed that there was no end to the white bones. Wherever darkness was there, the corpses of the predecessors were hidden.
The fluorescent lights flashed brightly and darkly beside everyone. The nine Galas were waiting together to squat on the ground to check the bones Gao Feng. After a while, Gao Feng stood up and looked behind him. A man who was nearly thirty years old and slightly tiny eyes quickly walked up and said to Gao Feng:
"Mr. Gao, there was a settlement of 200 people fifteen years ago. It was once one of the supply points of the underground passage No. 51. Later, the passage collapsed and the place was forgotten. I didn't expect it to become like this..."
The man looked very sorry, and Maple Yeqiang was suspicious of the guide introduced by Cheng Junlang. Seeing that Gao Feng had no intention of continuing to ask, he wanted to drive him to the back and continue to eat dust. Gao Feng asked at this time:
"Path No. 51 collapsed? You haven't told me before..."
Gao Feng's questioning made the man nervous. In Maple Ye Qiang's malicious eyes, he stammered:
"This has nothing to do with our destination, and the passage does not collapse completely. It just cannot pass through large trucks, and personnel can still pass through. I can guarantee that they will be able to bypass the ghost fog and mist...."
Ghost mist is the destination of Gaofeng. It has been more than three months since Gaofeng entered the underground. A lot of things have happened in these three months. After Gaofeng's planning, he finally took the dungeon completely in his hands and became his nest in the underground world, providing materials and guarantees for his next action. When he left the dungeon and embarked on his journey again, the dungeon had completed the election of the new council. With Cheng Junlang, the former mayor, as the heir, Fan Meiren, as the heir, hundreds of underground urban residents who hated the thugs entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to maintain order. The dungeon had completely stabilized, leaving only some final work and training of the city defense force. Gaofeng no longer needed to take charge personally.
When he was in the dungeon, Gao Feng kept in touch with the dungeon military through Cheng Junlang and learned about the outside information through Cheng Junlang's channels. When he knew that the war invaded the wilderness had not stopped, his uneasy heart could no longer hold back. He couldn't wait to return to the ground and return to his team, and fight the underground people openly.
The fastest way to return to the ground now is to pass the combat channel of the Northern Military Region. If Gao Feng was only one, he would not mind trying it, but there were nine Galas around him. He would definitely be exposed to the underground army with a well-organized system. If he didn't, Gao Feng would not be able to play any role when he returned to the ground. After a long time of struggling, Gao Feng decided to use Fan Meiren's method to bypass the ghost mist and go through the passage where the Goddess of Dawn penetrated the wilderness into the wilderness.
The anxiety in his heart and his worries about the wilderness situation made Gao Feng's temper very bad, but he would not vent his anger at ordinary people. Moreover, this guide was their eyes and maps underground. Gao Feng frowned and swept the bones on the ground, warning in a deep voice:
"The people here were all shot by guns, and each person was only shot by one. The one who attacked was definitely not a bandit, but an elite army. You really didn't lead the wrong way?"
Gao Feng's words were very clear, so why couldn't the guide hear it? Only then did the guide see clearly that each skull had an eye-catching sight in the bones on the ground. In the middle of the corpse, in addition to some clothes fragments, there were also some crudely made inferior rifles. Obviously, the attacker had no intention of taking away the weapons. If it were ordinary bandits, these weapons would never fall.
"I..., I don't know, maybe this settlement has no caravans and is transformed into a robber..."
The guide stammered and said his guess. Gao Feng shook his head and ordered to continue moving forward. As they moved forward, the corpses and broken ruins were thrown behind him and gradually walked into a narrow passage. This passage was like a twisted twist, and there was no straight line of more than a hundred meters. The traces of collapse in many places were very obvious. Occasionally, some abandoned vehicles could be seen showing a corner of the scattered boulders. At this time, Gao Feng trusted the guide more. Many places that collapsed tunnels were no longer pedestrians. The strange peaks were steep and needed to climb to pass. The rocks were full of cracks. Maybe they would collapse again at any time. There was no value for repair. If it were an ordinary person, there would not even be the courage to pass.
Gao Feng, Gala, including the guide, there were eleven people, like ants climbing carefully in huge cracks, sometimes up and down, and at the most dangerous time, they needed to slide down the steep slope at an 80-degree angle. Where they passed, human bones were sometimes visible. Fortunately, Gao Feng and others were all strong-body Gala. Otherwise, even if there was a guide, they would not be able to pass through this dangerous area safely, because even the guide did not expect that if they had not come for ten years, this place would become more dangerous. If he knew, he would not have thought of taking Gao Feng over here.
The more dangerous the area, the safer it was for Gao Feng. When he passed the settlement full of corpses, he felt something was wrong. But when he entered this abandoned passage, his uneasy feeling disappeared, allowing them to reach the other end of the passage without any danger.
Walking through the rugged and steep underground passage, Gao Feng and others came to a giant cave. The rock walls were covered with sedimentary rocks accumulated over the years, like huge Ganoderma lucidum blooming on the rock wall. In the cracks of the rock wall, unknown ferns grew, emitting dim light, making the underground caves within a radius of tens of thousands of meters vaguely visible. A road like a jade belt passed through the rugged ground. Even if everyone did not know the process of building this road, they also guessed the hardships of construction. The underground cave was not flat, and 60% of the area was endless abyss, with only straight peaks isolated between the dark abyss.
The suspension bridges that built the corridor road are isolated between the peaks of the abyss. At first glance, long or short suspension bridges are scattered in the middle of the cave. There are more than ten suspension bridges. These suspension bridges are fixed by one hundred and eight suspension cables with a thickness of thighs, which makes people amazed at the miracle that underground people have accomplished. At least a few Galas stared out their eyes, and they didn't even know that saliva flowed to their chins.
These miraculous suspension bridges were abandoned due to the collapse of the passage. Many bridges had collapsed gaps in the middle, like corpses waiting for decay, which made people sigh. The peaks passed through these suspension bridges and stayed in the middle of the underground cave. There was the largest mountain in the cave. The bases of four suspension bridges were erected, connecting the passages in four directions. On the open space of nearly a thousand square meters, dozens of buildings of various sizes were erected. I don’t know if there were any survival inside.
"We have arrived. This is the miracle place behind the ghost mist. The floating city in the sky was once the largest commercial center of the ghost mist. Unfortunately, it has been forgotten over the years..."
