Endless route

Chapter 304 75. Coming to an end

Zheng Yun returned to the secret realm from the Heavenly Palace and took a look at W-07. The little Taoist squatted deep underground in the museum holding his mobile phone and waiting, but Jidao still didn't reply.

W-06's fairy gate is located in an inaccessible deep mountain forest, which is much more remote than the original town of La Maine. If the progress of the track is fast enough, then he should be in the mountainous area now.

When Zheng Yun went to La Maine Town before, there was basically no signal all the way, so the probability of Ji Dao having a signal was also very low.

So now we can't completely count on Ji Dao. The Jingjing Pavilion has to rely on itself to find the records about ghost dreams.

Afterwards, Zheng Yun returned to Sunken Lake.

The rainforest on the west bank of the collapsed lake is lush, and the moonlight cannot penetrate the rainforest and shine into the lake. There are pitch-black shadows everywhere, and the fairy gate is located among the roots of rotten trees.

Taking the ghost general one step out of the fairy gate, Zheng Yun looked around. There were many kayaks floating on the lake. The flashlight was shining straight to the north. Li Wu, Hu Ruihua and others were still fishing for the coffin.

Down.

Zheng Yun raised his hand and waved.

He quietly entered the water with a few ghost generals.

They were already wearing diving suits and had not taken them off from beginning to end. Now they could dive directly into the lake as soon as they went out.

The temperature of the lake is still gentle, and the environment is much the same as before. With the help of the moonlight, you can vaguely see that the rainforest at the bottom of the lake is gradually being swallowed up and covered by swamp silt.

As time goes by, the entire collapse lake will definitely be filled with silt, and by that time, it will be difficult for all explorers to enter, making exploration more difficult.

Fortunately, this time is very long.

Judging from the current flow rate of the silt, it will take at least several days for it to fill the entire lake.

Several figures swam to the bottom of the lake.

They had entered here several times and were familiar with the surrounding environment. It only took a short time to arrive near the rainforest at the bottom of the lake and entered the tunnel through the crack.

Zheng Yun had left a few Yin soldiers and ghost generals to open coffins nearby. When they came down again, they saw that almost all the wooden coffins near the entire corridor had been opened by them.

The quality of Yin soldiers needs to be improved.

They did not pack up all the wooden coffins neatly like the young members of the archaeological team. Instead, they saw the opened wooden coffins piled up in a mess.

Well-preserved wooden coffins can float in the water, but once they are opened, those wooden coffins turn into a pile of rotten wooden boards, and all the bones inside are lost.

Zheng Yun stared at the skeletons.

Nia said that the source of ghost dreams in the ancient battlefield was the ancients, and teams from both the East and the West were searching for this source in various ruins.

And these corpses are ancient people.

Although they have long since died and have rotted to the point of being unsightly, they are indeed serious ancients, and each of them is a soldier of the ancient city of Nanze hundreds of years ago.

Could they be the source?

Observing the corpse carefully, the skin and flesh were black and withered, attached to the bones and flesh, and there were many oily sludge spots similar to mold on the skin. It was skinny and boneless, but the whole body was relatively intact.

Go ahead.

The situation of the other corpse was different. The wooden coffin was suspected to have been broken long ago, and the flesh and skin had long since rotted away, leaving only the bones.

The quality of these corpses varies, some are very well preserved, and some are so rotten that there is almost nothing left.

Perhaps in these wooden coffins, there will be several corpses that are extremely well preserved. The whole body is full of flesh and blood, the skin is elastic, and they are lifelike as if they are not yet dead.

If such a corpse exists, is it possible that he is the source of ghost dreams? Scientifically speaking, brain activity signals disappear quickly after death.

But what if he wasn't dead at all?

Or there may be some special circumstances.

Is it possible that the source of ghost dreams that the East and West teams are looking for is deep in this burial pit? Because there are so many wooden coffins here that no one dares to guarantee it.

When the quantity is large enough.

No matter how low the probability is, it can happen.

The shipwrecked expedition entered the burial pit, perhaps with similar ideas in mind, and they did make progress.

But similarly, it is also frighteningly difficult to accurately find the target among thousands of wooden coffins.

keep going.

Zheng Yun led the ghost general deep into the corridor.

Not long after, a few people followed the old road and arrived at the burial pit again. The ancient brick walls were blown beyond recognition by explosives, and a large number of rotten wooden coffins were densely floating in the turbid lake water.

Exactly the same as before.

But the feeling this time was different from last time. Zheng Yun felt worried when he thought that they might have to search for the target in so many wooden coffins.

Fortunately, they have opened many coffins.

Basically all the wooden coffins floating to the outside world were opened by Li Wu and others, and those that were not opened would be opened immediately.

With Li Wu's professionalism, even if he didn't know about the source of ghost dreams, as long as he found extremely well-preserved corpses in the wooden coffin, he would definitely pay attention.

But he never reported it.

It means they found nothing unusual.

The only wooden coffins that need to be investigated are those in the burial pit.

Still a headache.

The only way to examine all the wooden coffins is to open them one by one. Without opening, there is no way to know the conditions inside the coffins, or whether there are any abnormalities in the corpses inside the coffins.

But the matter of prying the coffin was inherently ominous.

If it was for the purpose of saving people, it would be considered a cause. But if it was just to find anomalies, it would be unreasonable to pry open all the thousands of wooden coffins on the ground.

The ancestors were lying peacefully in the coffin, but suddenly a group of young men pried the coffin open with crowbars and flashlights, and stared at the bones with flashlights.

This is against the rules.

No one does it this way.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun didn't look any further. There were faint screams coming from the depths of the burial pit. He jumped into the pit with his ghost generals and headed towards the source of those screams.

After a short time, Zheng Yun and others passed through the wooden coffins and entered the interlayer of the burial pit again. They quickly dispersed around and used flashlights to scan the environment deep in the burial pit.

There were only two screams left.

Zheng Yun remembered that the last time they arrived here, there were four or five screams in his ears. When they found one of them and took him away, the screams all stopped.

At this moment, the screams started again, but a few were missing. I don't know where those people went, and I couldn't even tell whether they were dead or alive. They might have died suddenly during this period.

try to find.

Zheng Yun didn't think much about raising his hand and giving the order.

Several ghost generals immediately dispersed to look for people. The ghost general found the surviving explorer last time. Their hearing was excellent and they should be able to locate the direction of the screams.

This time Li Wu was not present.

Zheng Yun can also let go.

He was suspended in the lake, looking down at the groups of wooden coffins at his feet, watching as several ghost figures entered the group of wooden coffins along the gaps and dispersed in several directions in all directions.

Zheng Yun was also on guard.

Two ghost generals have entered ghost dreams. The surviving explorers, Song Wanhuzi and others can see the ghost generals in ghost dreams, which can confirm that this inference is correct.

That ghost general is actually in danger.

Nia just said that all hallucinations in ghost dreams are based on what the dreamer is most afraid of.

All ghost dreams are tailor-made.

And ghost generals must also have something they are afraid of. This is an inevitable and reasonable situation, so they are also likely to have accidents in their dreams and be affected by ghost dreams.

Their only advantage is that the ghost generals, as Yin soldiers, will be controlled by Guixi. Even if they show symptoms, Zheng Yun can quickly detect them and order their transfer back.

There should be no problem in terms of safety.

The worst case scenario is to open the Immortal Gate and transfer them away.

But as the Ghost Division of Haiwei Town, what they were afraid of must be extraordinary. Song Wan had said before that they saw a huge thing on the lake.

Compared to the ancient battlefield that Nia said and the strange creatures they had never seen before, perhaps the ghost general's ghostly dream was more terrifying, far scarier than an ancient battlefield.

Because the ghost generals had been to so many places, Zheng Yun didn't even know how many dangerous places they had been to.

Although Gui Jiang will always have facial paralysis.

He has always been silent and silent.

In most dangerous places, ghost generals behave very calmly and powerfully. To borrow a phrase from Hu Zi and the others, ghost generals feel as if they are back home in dangerous places.

With ease.

Easy and freehand.

But precisely because they have facial paralysis, their only expression is a weird smile, and they never speak, so no one can judge their true inner thoughts.

There is also a possibility.

Although the probability is extremely low and almost impossible to happen, if the ghost general is actually calm on the surface, he will be frightened by the sudden strangeness in his heart.

This is also human nature.

It can happen as long as it's a living thing.

The ghost general's ghost dreams may be filled with the most bizarre and frightening scenes and horrifying images from all the dangerous places they have experienced since ancient times.

That's scary.

The frightening level of many dangerous places with ghosts and ghosts should not be much worse than that of ancient battlefields, or even more so.

If a ghost passes ghost dreams to the survivors here, it may kill other people. Even if they are not frightened to death, it is likely to cause them to die suddenly due to the influence of the ghost dreams.

So be fast.

Both the ghost generals and the surviving explorers will bear risks in this place. The longer they stay here, the higher the probability of something going wrong.

Zheng Yun sent out all the ghost generals for this reason. They had to find everyone quickly.

Time passes slowly.

Zheng Yun stared closely at the two captured ghost generals, watching them burrow into the depths of the wooden coffins, looming among the vertical and horizontal wooden coffins, making it difficult to continue tracking.

In fact, there is a possibility.

Ghosts will be able to directly find the source of ghost dreams.

They have a unique advantage in ghost dreams. If they get to the bottom of the cave in one go, they might actually be able to find some clues.

But this risk is something Zheng Yun is unwilling to take. Whenever a ghost general is damaged, he will feel distressed for a long time.

Wow.

Suddenly there was a strange noise.

Zheng Yun quickly turned his head to look at his right hand and his feet. The flashlight quickly located a gap in the wooden coffins. About six or seven meters below, the ghost general was prying the wooden coffins.

The screams that had been coming from the wooden coffin stopped immediately the moment the ghost general took action.

Found another one.

There must be someone in that wooden coffin.

Zheng Yun dived to the surface of the wooden coffins and watched with his own eyes as the ghost general pried open the wooden coffins and grabbed a person from inside.

He is indeed an explorer.

This person was wearing a black diving suit, but the diving goggles were red. He also wore a life-saving vest with a striking color, and the backpack behind him was also fluorescent-colored.

Different from the previous surviving explorer.

Judging from his attire, it seems that he is not an ordinary explorer, but is under the protection of the expedition team.

Zheng Yun has also experienced this situation. When they escorted Professor Zhang before, they also put the same eye-catching equipment and fluorescent life jackets on Professor Zhang's equipment.

This is a big fish found.

It should be impossible for a rescue expedition team to bring such a person into the burial pit. Their mission is to rescue, not to continue investigation and exploration. There is no reason to bring a tow bottle down.

Therefore, this person is most likely a researcher of the expedition team, so he has information related to ghost dreams in his hands, and can use it to obtain new results of the expedition team.

Bring it up.

Zheng Yun immediately ordered.

The man's hiding place was not very deep, just four or five levels below the surface of the wooden coffins. It didn't take long for the ghost general to find him and bring him back quickly.

One minute later.

The ghost general grabbed the man and returned to Zheng Yun, handed the man to Zheng Yun, and then went to grab the mask.

Zheng Yun observed him carefully.

He curled up into a ball, closed his eyes tightly, hugged his knees with his hands, and his body was shaking constantly. He seemed to have dreamed of a very scary monster and was very frightened.

Kaka.

Two or three masks were placed on his head at the same time. After his body was touched, the man shivered in fear.

Zheng Yun walked around to him and observed carefully. Through his diving goggles, he could clearly see that this man was a middle-aged man and he was wearing a pair of glasses inside his diving goggles.

The dress really looks like a researcher.

Wake up, I'm here to save you. After he put on the mask, Zheng Yun shook his body and spoke.

ah?

The researcher's body trembled and he opened his eyes, but after just one glance at Zheng Yun, his body trembled again, as if he had encountered something even more terrifying.

I won't hurt you.

Zheng Yun quickly spoke to comfort him.

I know...I know who you are. The clothes you wear are of a very high level. You are a high-ranking official in the Triton. No, the pattern on your clothes means you are the Sensi, the supervisor of the Triton!

Why are you here?

Even a character like you appears in the ancient city of Nanze. Is this ghost dream about to end? Will all of us die in the ending?

The researcher muttered in confusion.

What do you mean? Zheng Yun asked with a frown.

You still ask me what I mean. The Immortal Supervisor of Haiwei in the Ming Dynasty will only come to the world at the most dangerous moment. Now that you are here, it means that this catastrophe that has affected the entire ancient city of Nanze will soon be completely over. !”

But we are not people in the dream, we are people outside. Once this dream ends, the aborigines in the dream can evacuate, but where can we evacuate?

Once this dream ends, we will die in it, and your arrival is the beginning of the countdown!

The researcher said in a hoarse voice.

...

Zheng Yun thought about it for a moment.

This person should think of himself as the ancient Immortal Supervisor. It seems that he is also a senior expert on Ming history...
