After a brief explanation, Jiang Feng entered a sluggish state, "Since this happened in the abyss, why is it in the underground tower..."

"There are many possibilities."

While talking, Jiang You continued to observe the night watchmen.

"The Earth Tower may be connected to the abyss and other planes. The Earth Tower itself is a transit station through which we can enter various forbidden areas for trials."

"Or maybe the Ground Tower is really a tower, transforming these scenes into so-called forbidden areas in a way that is difficult for us to understand."

Jiang Feng listened to his explanation quietly and was slightly absent-minded.

She was just in her third year of college, and all she had learned was book knowledge. When she encountered this for the first time, she was at a loss.

"So, we're going to try to find that notebook?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang You shook his head, "The notes are special to the Night Patrol Division. Through the notes, everyone learned about the A108 team and the existence of the inner layer."

"But for what happened to this vanguard, the notes were just recorded by a night watchman."

"The ringing ancient bell, the strange mountains, and the blue balls in the abyss may all be important clues."

Jiang You's face was solemn, "What I can't figure out the most right now is how on earth this forbidden place did all this."

"This group of night watchmen, no matter the details of their moves, their expressions, or their language, are as vivid as real people."

"Is this currently known to happen in forbidden areas?" he asked.

"No." Jiang Feng affirmed, "At least there are no such highly intelligent creatures in the forbidden areas of A-level and below. S-level... I don't know."

"We won't get involved in the S-class forbidden area." At this point, Jiang You cursed secretly.

"Hey, do you two want to eat compressed cookies?"

A night watchman approaches.

"Come on, let's share it." Jiang You thought slightly.

"Is one piece enough to eat? Judging from your performance just now, you should be at the third level. Come on, one piece for each of you."

The night watchman threw vacuum-packed biscuits from his pocket.

"Eat."

After weighing it, the weight and feel are the same as normal biscuits.

Jiang You narrowed his eyes slightly and tore open the package.

After taking a small bite, the taste turned out to be quite normal.

Weird, so weird.

"Assistant Jiang." Seeing that he really ate it, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel anxious and poked him.

"Girl, you don't think we put anything in the cookies, do you?" the bearded night watchman joked.

"No, I just wanted to ask him if he had enough to eat." Jiang Feng's explanation was somewhat pale.

"Don't worry, we are all night watchmen and we won't harm you." The night watchman uncle didn't mind. He smiled heartily and looked at Jiang You, "Little brother, who is he?" ωωw..net

"Sea of ​​clouds."

"Oh? Yunhai? Yunhai is a great place." The uncle gave a thumbs up, "I went there on a mission a few years ago. The foot-washing city in Yunhai is pretty good."

Right, I'm pretty knowledgeable in this area...ahem.

"Where are you, uncle? Who are you?" Jiang You coughed lightly and asked.

"I'm a lonely person." He poured water one after another, and at the end, wiped the corner of his mouth, "This mission is over, I will find a gathering place to settle down, and then I will have a baby. The money I saved in the first half of my life will be enough to squander."

Jiang You was silent.

"It's you, I heard this girl say, are you a teaching assistant? A university teaching assistant?"

"That's right." Jiang You nodded.

"Then why did you run into the abyss so smoothly?" The uncle looked strange.

"I encountered an accident and ended up here out of nowhere."

"It's really unlucky, but to a certain extent, it's lucky. After all, you met us. Let's go out together then."

The uncle patted Jiang You on the shoulder and handed over the water bottle in his hand, "Want a sip? Concentrated nutrient solution can heal injuries and restore physical strength."

"Thank you." After a slight hesitation, Jiang You took the kettle and took a sip.

The strong fragrance entered the mouth, and then went straight to Tianling Gai. The pungent smell almost made Jiang You cry.

"Cough cough cough."

He coughed a few times and quickly put down the kettle.

"Hahahahaha, take it easy, this thing is newly developed by the research institute, ordinary fourth-level people can't drink it like that."

"We still have a long way to go. You'd better conserve your energy and not fall behind. It will take several days to walk to the nearest exit."

"no problem."

Jiang You nodded on his face and sighed in his heart.

Brother, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go to the exit.

He looked back and saw that the alien species still had no intention of leaving.

The notes described that the night watchmen were chased into the mountains, intending to wait for the alien species to recede before retreating.

During the waiting period, the notes passed by, and when I started writing again, the ancient clock rang and entered the inner layer.

So the real situation is most likely: the alien species were not removed until the bell rang, and the night watchmen were trapped here.

"Count casualties!"

The leader's voice sounded.

The bearded uncle was shaken, his expression grimaced, and he gathered with the other night watchmen.

"Team 1, 6 people were slightly injured, 3 people were seriously injured, and 7 people died."

"Team 2, 12 people slightly injured, seriously injured..."

For a moment, the only sounds left in the entire mountain range were their reports.

After a while, the casualty statistics were completed.

All casualties along the way are counted together.

150 people entered the abyss, and the death toll reached 64!

"A moment of silence."

The leader spoke softly.

Everyone stood there, closed their eyes, and mourned silently.

Jiang You and Jiang Feng also stood up.

Three silent minutes passed slowly by.

The leader issued the order again: "Plant the flag!"

A group of night watchmen immediately scattered, took out the folded flag, looked for the location, and then planted it.

After doing all this, it was finally time for everyone to take a break.

The bearded uncle had a look of melancholy and loneliness on his face, and he sat cross-legged.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Jiang You sat down next to him.

"Dead people, we are the pioneer exploration team, dead people are normal."

The bitterness on his face when he said this could not be faked, "The evacuation is a long way away, and we don't know how many people will die. Maybe I will be included in the list of martyrs."

Buried in the abyss, even the corpse cannot be taken back.

It is indeed extremely cruel.

"Does the Abyss Exploration Team have to die so many people every time?"

"How is that possible?" The uncle shook his head. "In the past, explorations were within a fixed range. Each time, we would expand the known boundaries and then return to Da Zhou."

"There were too many surprises this time. Besides, we are the vanguard, an exploration team named vanguard."

A little pride appeared on his face, "This is the only 'pioneer' to explore the unknown in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Awesome." Jiang You praised.

"I have to record it."

The bearded man smiled.

Then, with Jiang You's eyes widening, he took out a...book.

Damn it.

We bumped into all these dozens of people.
