Phoenix squatted by the river and looked at the purple gravel covering the bottom of the river. He didn't know why he felt that this kind of gravel was a little unusual.
The purple gravel shines faintly in the night. A single grain of gravel may not be obvious, but when the entire river shines, it is really spectacular.
It's really beautiful.
I don't know when everyone in the camp came out and stood on the purple river bank, staring at the brilliant purple water, and they all admired from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially the girls, who were not immune to this kind of thing, had already run to the river with joy and joy, reaching out to pick up the gravel that shone with purple light.
At this moment, Phoenix suddenly shouted, interrupting everyone's enjoyment, "Don't touch that river water."
Phoenix's voice was very abrupt and stern, which frightened everyone all of a sudden. The hands of the girl team members who were about to scoop up the river water stopped in mid-air, and then took it back in dismay.
"Miss, the water in this river is so clear, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" These female team members were all those who followed Phoenix in Hidden Dragon Mountain, so they were very familiar with her, so they said, "We just think it's fun and want to praise her.
Get up and take a look."
Phoenix's expression was very solemn. She shook her head and said, "No, these purple gravels are weird. No one is allowed to touch them until we clear things up." After that, she ordered people to return to the camp and headed towards her residence.
Go.
"What's the problem here? Why are there those blood-red stalagmites and this kind of gravel that can shine?" Sitting in his tent, Phoenix thought about everything that happened, "And why are those people outside
If we don’t chase them in, are they afraid of something?”
Thinking of this, Fenghuang's heart tightened, and she felt that there must be something fishy here. She planned to send someone to re-enter the fog at dawn tomorrow to check the situation at the mouth of the valley to see if those people really didn't come in.
If no one from the outside chases us in, it means that we may have entered a very dangerous place.
Just as she was immersed in thought, someone's footsteps were heard outside the tent, followed by someone in a low voice, "Captain, I have something urgent to report."
Phoenix hurriedly got out of the tent and saw that the person coming was the leader of four members of the Huya Special Warfare Brigade, named Zuo Jia.
Seeing Phoenix come out of the tent, Zuo Jia, who was standing three meters away from the tent, hurriedly gave her a military salute and said, "Captain, I have an urgent report."
"Let's go for a walk outside together and listen to your important situation." Fenghuang waved his hand, and then he and Zuo Jia left the camp and came to the river.
At this time, it was already past midnight, and there was no one on the riverside. Only the water of the small river flowed, making everything around him quieter.
The river is neither wide nor deep, and the water is extremely clear. The purple gravel at the bottom of the river shines, reflecting the devastation of the river. From a distance, it looks like the Milky Way in the sky has fallen to the ground.
Standing by the river, Fenghuang looked at Zuo Jia and asked, "Zuo Jia, tell me, what did you find?"
Zuo Jia nodded, and then said, "Captain, are you aware that the communication equipment has failed?"
Phoenix nodded, took out his micro communicator, and pointed at the blank display screen on it, "I know, I tried with the base several times, but there is no signal at all."
"It's not just these, look, Captain." Zuo Jia took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Phoenix. Then he took out several pieces of electronic equipment from his backpack and handed them to Phoenix.
Fenghuang took it over and took a look, and immediately discovered the problem. She frowned. She looked at the equipment for a long time, and then returned them to Zuo Jia, "So it seems that all the electronic equipment has failed?"
"Yes, even the compass has lost its effect. It seems that there is strong interference around it." At this time, the compass on the watch on Zuo Jia's wrist was spinning crazily, as if it was a top without stopping.
time.
Fenghuang stopped talking. She realized that the matter was getting more and more serious.
Without being able to contact the base, they could not wait for reinforcements. They were trapped in this valley with limited dry food and not much drinking water.
This valley is very strange. Although there is vegetation and it is very lush, there is not a single small animal, not even the birds in the sky come close. There is not a single fish in the river, and there are barely a few aquatic plants.
There was something weird about all this, which made Phoenix shudder the more he thought about it.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Zuo Jia looked at Fenghuang, waiting for her to make up her mind.
After thinking for a long time, Phoenix slowly said, "Let's go through this tonight. When it gets bright tomorrow, we will return to the mouth of the valley to see the situation there. If there is a signal there, we will immediately notify the base and ask them to send someone.
support."
Zuo Jia nodded and said, "That's all we can do."
The two people turned around and walked towards the camp, but before they had taken a few steps, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them, startling them both.
"who?"
Zuo Jia reached out and pulled out his pistol, then pointed the gun directly at the black figure and shouted in a stern voice. At the same time, Phoenix also pulled out his shell gun.
The black shadow did not answer, but stopped. Only then did the two men realize that it was a warrior from the team, looking directly at the two of them, and the look in his eyes made both of them a little creepy.
"Xie Mengguang, if you're not sleeping in the camp, what are you doing out here?" Zuo Jia shouted sternly. His other hand had quietly reached his waist and held the handle of the engineer's shovel.
Xie Mengguang still had that straight look in his eyes. He grinned, but his facial expression was very stiff, and his smile looked weird, "Drink water, drink water."
Both of them felt their hearts skip a beat. They noticed something was wrong with Xie Mengguang. Apart from his expression, there seemed to be a faint purple light shining in his eyes, but it was relatively weak and couldn't be noticed without careful observation.
"Something happened!" The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
At this time, Xie Mengguang slowly turned around and staggered towards the river with a stiff body. His movements were very stiff, like a puppet, and as he walked, there was a rustling sound in his joints.
It's like it's filled with gravel.
"Drink water, I want to drink water, drink water!" Xie Mengguang groaned in a low voice and walked towards the river step by step.
Fenghuang winked at Zuo Jia. Zuo Jia understood and rushed behind Xie Mengguang. With his right hands together, he struck Xie Mengguang hard on the back of the neck with a knife.
Normally, this strike would have knocked Xie Mengguang out for several hours before he woke up, but this time it failed. Zuo Jia felt as if he had been struck on a stone. There was a bang, and a burning sensation came from the edge of his palm.
of severe pain.
"What's going on?" Zuo Jia was shocked and took a step back. Phoenix behind him was also stunned.
After being attacked, Xie Mengguang's body suddenly stopped, and then he twisted around suddenly, staring straight at Zuo Jia with a pair of shining purple eyes, and then opened his mouth and smiled sinisterly with white teeth, "Drink water.
, drink water.”
With a shout, Xie Mengguang opened his arms and rushed towards Zuo Jia!
