musicians of old

The four sergeants felt heavy sleepiness coming in waves.

They had to admit that during the initial period of entering the abnormal zone, their mental state was more tense than the most intense war they had ever experienced. After such relaxation, human physiological laws are almost unbreakable. Perhaps, We can still keep walking for a while, but it is really difficult to survive until tomorrow's dawn.

Also, deviating from expectations is.
Originally, Fan Ning and Tukweil, the two wise men, should be in good spirits, and Durk and Jacob, the two high-ranking wise men, should be able to stay at least one more night.

But now even they feel tired.

Another detail that is not eye-catching but goes against the norm. Some of the spiritual or "mental power" advantages shown in the normal world after studying "Candle" seem to be greatly reduced in this abnormal area with colorful scenery. A lot of the information that had been circulated before was simply inaccurate. It was originally thought that the first round would last 4-5 days.

"I'm afraid I'll have to use the 'Sneaky Water' tonight." In the first moving car, Bishop Tukweil said.

"This is a plan that has been made a long time ago." Pastor Jacob nodded from behind, "It's just that the time deviated from expectations. I originally thought that if the few of us used this thing, it would be one day late."

Sleep used to be the top of the iconic taboos here, the dividing line between "maybe it's still too late to turn back" and "never get out again". Now, the method developed by the "helminthologist" of the Special Patrol Office is indeed It provides a great help for in-depth investigation, but it is definitely not something that can be abused at will.

This elixir formula, which the church obtained from the Special Patrol Office at a great cost and uses "sneaky water" as the main ingredient, does not have the ideal principle of action of an "anthelmintic" or a "purifying agent"
It is said that after taking it, the human body temporarily becomes "less suitable for worms to live on."

It doesn't sound like a good thing at first glance, and I don't know how many possible side effects or accidents there are.

Moreover, if you take it multiple times, the dosage will become larger and larger, but the time to take effect will become shorter and shorter.

Judging from the data provided by the Special Patrol Office, people who take it for the first time can generally take effect for more than 30 hours, which allows people to enjoy normal sleep for two consecutive nights. However, after that, they may have to sleep for half an hour. You have to ask someone to wake you up, otherwise you won’t know what you will become when you wake up on your own.
Team members who have not risen high enough and have a lower spiritual level will undoubtedly become the first to become "useless" team members.

They had already realized this, and their mission was to do their best, maintain their vehicles, and lead the other priests as deeply as possible.

Then, there is another question.

"Later, should we just find a place where we can barely park our car to rest? Or" Tukweil asked slowly as he stared at the last ray of the setting sun disappearing.

Just now, the brightness of the sky experienced a steep decline. The golden color on the treetops and bushes was instantly taken away, leaving only a faint shadow of dove gray.

Behind him, the flowers and fungi that were blooming in strange colors just a moment ago were almost impossible to see clearly.

"Just drive on this bad road for another two hours."

Fan Ning glanced at his watch and made a decision.

"If by 08:30 in the evening, we still can't find a large stronghold site worthy of staying, or if we completely lose track of the road under our feet, we will choose a place to stop and rest."

Fortunately, today's temperature has dropped by a notch compared to the "painful land" outside. The number of mosquitoes in the forest at night is now at a tolerable level after some slight treatment.

Moreover, judging from the distribution of traces of activities along the way, combined with the analysis of previously collected construction information from various countries, Fan Ning felt that it was still possible to find a large-scale stronghold.

"What do you think?" Tucville asked. "I can sleep until after nine o'clock." "It doesn't matter if it's closer to ten o'clock." "Follow the team's arrangements."

Several soldiers yawned one after another, and some were wiping the tears secreted from the corners of their eyes, but they all said they could walk for a few more hours, while the "tired" of the knowledgeable people took longer to fall asleep, and they could still hold on until the second half of the night. no problem.

So the convoy continued to bump forward in the night.

Facts have proved that Fan Ning's judgment was accurate. After driving for more than an hour, the team approached a mountain col with a gentle slope.

Looking diagonally downward from a distance, there is a group of faint black outlines of buildings.

The rooms are scattered at random, and they are basically bungalows. Only one main camp seems to have been built with two floors.

There are sentry towers standing in the corners, which are very high and almost offset the height difference of the mountain col.

Further outside, it is surrounded by forests on three sides, and there is also a narrow swamp and reed field connected to the external lake.

Due to years of natural growth, the terrain of this mountain col is actually no longer suitable for vehicles to pass down. However, Fan Ning used invisible power to "eliminate the roots" along the way, and Priest Durk used "golden air walls" to cushion the wheels to assist, and no one was able to Without much effort, the three cars were parked in a relatively flat, overgrown open space in front of the yard.

When several bright beams of military flashlights were projected forward, several people in the crowd, including Fan Ning, let out a surprised "Eh" sound.

The flashlight illuminated the old steel wire mesh. It should be steel wire mesh. After all, its shape in front of everyone was "a block".

But there are very few parts that really belong to the "steel wire". What everyone can see is the imaginative spores, pollen and other secretions of various colors growing on it. They have sufficient thickness and three-dimensionality, plus from time to time they come from the inside. The branches and petals that stick out stubbornly form a long scroll of gorgeous and colorful paintings.

Even, through some partial compositions and colors, Fan Ning is inexplicably reminded of some well-known avant-garde works, or partially abstracted symbols from the works of certain classical masters.

He couldn't help but stay in front of him for several minutes.

Several soldiers used tools to complete the preliminary cleaning, and then cut off a door-sized mixture of wire and plants with steel pliers and twisted it off.

Through this dark gap, the flashlight finally illuminated the large and small houses in the camp.

The light illuminated a lot of cracks on the top, but they were not "breaking". In addition, they were all flat or two-story, so initially it seemed that their sturdiness was guaranteed, but their exterior walls were still cracked. A variety of colorful and vibrant flowers and mosses.

"To be honest, I feel like there's something unusual here, but it's not to the level of 'weird'." Colonel Alpha released the safety of the Schmais 18 submachine gun in his hand and looked ahead with vigilance.

"Isn't this comment applicable everywhere else?" Priest Jacob smiled.

The sound of loading was also heard in Brigadier General Boles' hand: "Go in and take a look. These camps are built by the authorities of various countries to military standards. We rest indoors with several supports, and the level of peace of mind is definitely higher than that in open mountain forests. Moreover, the priests may be able to gather some useful information.”

The eight people counted the necessary items they carried, and holding weapons, they ducked in through the gap in the barbed wire fence.
