Chapter 216 The Disappeared Soldiers

Both eyes flickered, staring at the corridor without blinking, the black paint was like a swallowing black hole, and the cold breath impacted people's hearts, making people daunted.

Even Wu Ming had countless thoughts in a short period of time, the most direct thought was to immediately order to return along the original road, maybe there may be a way back...

But he also knows that there is probably no way to go back. In this special marginal space, the original path can only be the way he came from, and he can't be the way to go back. just out.

I secretly calm down, as I said, in this space, all dependence is gone, and I can only rely on myself. The only thing I can do now is to go on!
Although the 500-meter corridor is not very narrow, only two people can pass side by side. When all the soldiers arrived, Wu Ming beckoned.

"Come on, let's count the number of people."

Dian Wei clasped his fists in agreement and asked the soldiers of each department to count their troops and horses, and soon there was news.

"What did you say?!"

The sudden voice made Wu Ming turn around suddenly, seeing Dian Wei frowning there, he walked up without hesitation.

"Come on, what happened?"

Dian Wei hurriedly turned his head and said respectfully: "There are eight troops in our army, a total of 4000 soldiers. Just now, we have counted and found that the seven troops are all complete, and only the last one is missing 30 people."

30 people? ?

Wu Ming frowned involuntarily. Compared with 30 people, 4000 people didn't look like a lot, but there was only one way to get there. It's not normal for even one person to be missing, let alone 30 people.

Just as he was about to speak, seven people came up at this time, Wu Ming knew that Dian Wei had arrangements, so he shut his mouth.

Dian Wei stared at the seven people and said: "You are all soldiers and horses in the rear of the palace, do you notice anything unusual?"

The seven people looked at each other and said slowly: "Commander Dian, the seven of us are not the last soldiers at the back of the palace, but when we gathered the soldiers and horses just now, we suddenly found that there was no one in front of us, and we were all backed up along the way. The former army, when crossing the corridor, can be sure that the thirty brothers are still there."

Dian Wei said solemnly: "You mean... these missing brothers disappeared after crossing the tunnel?"

The man said uncertainly: "It should be. After all, we are back to back, and we can confirm that there is nothing wrong with them when they passed through the corridor. It is very likely that they disappeared after reaching the hall."

Dian Wei wanted to say something else, but Wu Ming suddenly said: "Since there is no abnormality, is there any minor change? Or is there... an abnormal thing happened?"

Those seven people lowered their heads and thought for a while, then raised their heads and said, "No!"

But Wu Ming suddenly realized something was wrong, the last pawn seemed to hesitate a bit, and the tone of his answer was also uncertain.

Wu Ming pointed at him and said, "It's about the lives of the soldiers. Now we can't let go of any details. Even if it's something you're not sure about, tell us. Don't let go of any possibility."

The man gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate can't be sure, but just now when I was close to the exit of the tunnel, there was a very faint sound of wind in my ears, it was very small and short, like a hallucination, and then my subordinates walked in disorder. I just stepped on a stone, and my body fell forward, and the brother who turned his back to me made me see a side face..."

"Breeze? Profile?" Wu Ming pressed his brows together and said, "Be more specific, I need details."

The man calmed down and said: "General, that gust of wind is very strange, it blows from the top of the head, and it doesn't have the piercing feeling of ordinary mountain wind, but it is warm. As for the side face of that brother... I don't know it's from a torch. The reason is that he himself suffers from a disease, and I found that the brother's face was covered with bloodstains, which looked a bit like bulging veins."

Wu Ming thought for a few minutes, then walked towards the corridor without looking back, raised a torch, and threw it over his head.

The torch passed across the top of the tunnel, and Wu Ming got an overview of the situation above, and the soldiers behind him also saw it, and they all stayed where they were.

"My lord... is a mural!!"

That's right, the top of the corridor is covered with murals. At a glance, it actually depicts countless swallows, each curled up, with different damages to their wings, as if they were fluttering and trying to fly, but Their broken bodies are no longer enough to allow them to fly.

"A swallow that cannot fly?"

Wu Ming murmured, and then said: "Come on, find some ropes to connect them, at least 500 meters long, and send 25 soldiers to tie them up every [-] meters. Use a torch as a sign. If there is any abnormality, shake the torch." Pass each other and we'll be the first to pull the rope."

Dian Wei immediately went to inform the whole army that all the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion were strong men, and he quickly selected more than 20 dead soldiers.

Wu Ming didn't say anything, just shook hands one by one. Although these dead men didn't understand what shaking hands meant, they felt the strength of the palms, and they understood the meaning inside. This is more effective than saying a thousand or ten thousand sentences .

Soon, the dead men were all tied with ropes, and they all looked at Wu Ming with relaxed expressions, as if there was no danger in this expedition.

Wu Ming took a deep breath, and said flatly: "Go, check the entrance and the situation above your head, if you encounter danger, shake the torch."

Nodding silently, thousands of soldiers saw them off. Only 5 minutes passed from the first soldier on the road to the last one setting off.

The entire hall was exceptionally silent, you could hear a needle drop, and the sound of each other's breathing intertwined.

I don't know how much time has passed, Dian Wei said: "My lord, the rope is still going forward, and it will soon bottom out."

Wu Ming frowned. Although he said he would use 500 meters of rope, Dian Wei took another 200 meters of rope just to be on the safe side, which is equivalent to 700 meters of rope. Is this the end?

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Don't let them go any further, take back the rope immediately."

After receiving the order, the soldiers holding the ropes suddenly tightened up and recovered the ropes at an extremely fast speed.

"Clang..."

With a subtle sound, a cluster of torches fell to the ground in the corridor.

Wu Ming's face changed completely. Before he set off, he had agreed that the torch was the only signal, and he could not abandon it when anything happened. But now that the torch has fallen to the ground, there is only one possibility, that something happened to the soldiers in the corridor.

Wu Ming turned around, grabbed the rope tightly, and pulled it back quickly. His arms were nearly [-] strong, and he retracted tens of meters of rope in just three seconds.

If it is normal, there should be a soldier tied to this place, but the rope has reached this place, and there is nothing else except a knot.
