Chapter Nineteen The Devil's Call
Chapter 19 The Devil's Call
I said "um" and felt something was wrong. After listening, the more I listened, the more I felt it was like. This was definitely not speaking, it was not a laugh, but it was very similar.
The other people also realized that Aning stopped calling, and we looked at each other, all a little surprised.
The team doctor said: "What's going on? Why are they... laughing? Are you so happy to hear our voice?"
Taxi asked back, "Do you laugh like this when you are happy?"
Aning also looked puzzled. She stopped calling, but continued to debug the walkie-talkie, hoping to make the sound inside clearer.
The debugging was useless, but the sound rang a little more. We posted it on again and listened to it more clearly. It was really like a sneer. It sounded so resentful, it was not made by a normal person at all, but like a madman in a madman in a madhouse. But after listening carefully, I felt that after the laughter, there were some other sounds, which were very slight. The two sounds were mixed together, and it sounded quite strange in this terrifying devil city.
I felt very uncomfortable when I heard this malicious sneer. Even Taxi, who had a stinky face all the way, was scared now, with a pale face and swallowed: "What's going on? This smile is so fucking ugly."
Aning made a gesture to tell him not to speak, put the intercom on his ear, listened for a while, and then said, "It seems that this is not a human voice!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" the team doctor shouted, "Is it a ghost if it's not a human?"
"You listen carefully." Aning let us get closer, "The frequency of the sound is very fast, and the tone is almost flat, and it has been ringing for five minutes. Do you try to laugh like this for five minutes to tell me?"
When I heard this, I felt something was right and asked, "What's the sound?"
"This frequency should be mechanical sound. For example, the watch is attached to the walkie-talkie, but the frequency is not fixed. It is also possible that someone is constantly using his nails to grab the walkie-talkie's intercom. "Aning demonstrated, "Add the sound of static electricity, it became like this."
"Catch the walkie-talkie with your fingernails. Why do they do this?" said the team doctor. "Why don't you scream? This way we may hear it without the walkie-talkie."
As soon as he said that, the faces of Tashi and Aning changed, and I suddenly realized something: "They may be in a situation where they cannot scream or speak, and they can only contact us in this way."
"Fresh sand pit! They are trapped in the quick sand pit!" Zhaxi shouted, "It may be so heavy that it is only left. In that case, fart will sink!"
"Damn it!" We became nervous immediately, stood up and looked at the darkness around us. Where was our heart?
Aning remained quite calm at this time. She clapped her hands and told us not to panic: "Calm down. They can send signals that they are temporarily safe now. We can receive signals that their intercom must be nearby and we should be able to arrive soon."
"But it's nearby. It's very big nearby. How to find it?"
Aning asked us to follow and start walking around with the walkie-talkie to determine the direction of the signal.
I saw it right, but I didn't expect that I was a knowledgeable person. In this kind of terrain, if you can receive radio signals, there must be a gap-shaped terrain with radio wave diffraction around it. Moreover, the degree of radio fading is closely related to the distance, so by intercom, we can judge whether we are getting close to each other.
We immediately followed and walked around and found that the signal deep in the canyon was the loudest. Obviously, the source of the signal was in the canyon. Aning greeted us and we quickly ran inside, while the flashlight had already shook it away. Zhaxi shouted: "Be careful at your feet. Don't look for it!"
We couldn't care about so much, so we ran and looked for it. Soon the canyon ended, and in front of us, a huge half-moon mound appeared to block the way, which was fifty meters high, as if a huge sail was very steep and it seemed that it could not be climbed through.
People who know the intercom can tell the situation at a glance. With such a terrain, the radio signal is the weakest, which is the same as the signal difference in mountains and valleys. However, when we look at the intercom, the sound is now very clear and has not weakened at all. That is to say, the thing that sends the signal is definitely in the area about 110 meters long and wide of this half-moon-shaped muddy city.
"It's here?" We all sweated coldly and felt something was wrong, because with a flashlight, the place was clear at a glance, and there was not even a ghost.
"Have you sunk?" A bad thought appeared in my mind.
Aning shook his head, because the sound in the walkie-talkie was still ringing, so he called out and asked us to look for it separately.
We scattered and carefully searched for traces on the ground. Soon Tashi shouted. After discovering, we rushed over and found very messy footprints on the ground. It was not ours.
"They are here." Tzashi said, "This half-moon mound is like a safe haven. They must have been forced in by the strong wind to hide. There is almost no wind here, so the footprints will remain."
We immediately followed the footprints and looked forward. The footprints on the sandy ground were very clear. It can be seen that there were three people. We followed the footprints for more than ten meters away and arrived at the base of the mound. The footprints ended abruptly. There were no footprints that turned around, and there were no quicksand pits.
"Damn, have you walked into the mound?" Taxi said stutteringly.
"No!" Aning showed an incredible expression. She looked up at the mound, which was pitch black and could not see anything. "They climbed up."
This is strange. We were all stunned. We looked up and saw that the backlight mound was pitch black, like a huge black black curtain. Our flashlight was scattered, because it was too high, and the small flashlight photoelectric could not illuminate the entire picture.
What did they go up to do? Is there something on this mound?
Aning asked us to back down at this time, then took out the signal gun and shot him in the sky.
The scorching signal flare flew into the air, illuminating the entire area like daylight after the explosion. At that moment, all the scenes hidden in the shadows around them appeared.
We all turned our eyes around, and we were a little uncomfortable with the bright eyes. Before we could see clearly, we heard Aning scream: "Oh my God!"
We hurriedly narrowed our eyes and looked up and turned our eyes toward the air. Under the flashing light of the signal flare, we saw that on the hillside of the huge half-moon mound, there was a huge object embedded in the hillside, half buried in the mound, and half suddenly scattered in the air.
During the dozens of seconds of the signal flare burning, we were all stunned. Everyone looked at the huge thing and their minds were blank. It was not until the signal flare went out that we realized, and then all the flashlights shone in that direction.
