Chapter 230 Bronze Gate

Although Boss Wu asked me to go to bed first, I felt that I was not sleepy at all.

Especially when we think that Haibei is trapped in the cave, it is even more difficult to calm down.

Boss Wu didn't look at me and sat in front of the tent eating canned soybeans.

I sighed, threw away the already dim fluorescent stick in my hand, then put my backpack on the ground and took out a portable mining lamp from it.

I have never been willing to use this mine lamp before, because the battery has been running out for a long time.

However, since it has been temporarily settled down now, I don't want to get dark anymore.

I screwed the spiral switch on the mine lamp, and I only adjusted the mine lamp to the weakest brightness.

Boss Wu ate the can and felt the light behind him. He looked back at me and said, "Don't light the lamp, I won't eat it in my nose."

I smiled helplessly, put the hand lamp on the ground, then walked to Boss Wu, sat down, picked up a box of canned soybeans next to me, and ate it.

Boss Wu put down the spoon in his hand and paused for a moment. Then he looked at me sideways, but did not say anything, but sighed at the troubled times in the dark in front of him.

I don't know why he sighed, so I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Boss Wu said indifferently, "Nothing, just suddenly lost my appetite."

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Am I bothering you? I'll go to the tent to eat."

I just got up, but I was pressed on my shoulder by Boss Wu.

Then he smiled and said, "No, it's just that I looked sad and seemed to have something wrong with you, but you refused to say anything. I feel uncomfortable."

Before I could speak, he said, "Actually, I don't care much about other people's business, especially after many things. Sometimes I don't want to talk all day long, but I don't know why, when I see you, I think of myself in the past."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Really?"

Boss Wu put down the canned soybeans in his hand, sighed again, and said, "Although the boy who was surnamed Xie entrusted you to bring you here, the purpose of this action is different, and I have never thought of asking you. However, since we are also grasshoppers tied to a rope now, I think I should have the obligation to listen to you.

Wu looked at Boss Wu and found that he did not look at me, but stared at the darkness in front of him, as if there was gold in the darkness, which tightly attracted his attention.

After a moment of silence, I summarized my inner entanglement.

said that I was irritable because I was trapped here, but it was better to say that it was because my friends around me died one by one, which made me depressed.

The deaths of Daxiong, Liang Qian and Long Jia were all to help me find the secrets of the Yaku people, but I was trapped here, making things unable to progress, which made me feel a strong sense of guilt.

Not only that, although I told myself not to be sad because of their death, I still couldn't be relieved. As long as I rested and thought of Daxiong lying hard on the ground, Liang Qian being bitten by thousands of crabs, and Longjia being blown to pieces by electric current, my heart was extremely heavy and almost breathless. The breath is coming.

And the thing that bothers me now is whether they are dead or something, and why they lived one by one when they were in Durban Village.

I'm afraid that they will really die like this, but I don't want them to live in some form that I don't know. This is where I'm most entangled.

After finding the crux of the problem, I sighed and said, "Boss Wu, I can tell you about me, but can you tell me how you got here? I remember, aren't we investigating the hole in Lop Nur? But have you found that this is an island?

Boss Wu nodded and said, "Indeed, I also found that this is indeed an island. If I guess correctly, when you saw the huge tree under the ground, you followed the cable bridge and entered the huge tree, didn't you?

I nodded and said, "Yes, we did go inside the giant tree."

Boss Wu said in a low voice, "That's right, my people and your two friends, that is, the woman surnamed Liang, and the fat man surnamed Wang. Instead of entering the giant tree, we continued to go underground along the stone steps on the cliff next to the giant tree. We experienced many dangers and broke a lot of people. Finally, we saw the bronze door near the root of the tree.

I didn't expect that there was a door at the root of the giant tree, so I asked, "Bronze door? What kind of bronze door is it?

Boss Wu's voice became lower and said, "You don't have to worry about this. In short, it is a bronze door that can only appear in the depths of the earth or in the belly of mountains. I have seen two such doors before, so I can only tell you that there is more than one bronze door, and this is only one of them."

I felt that Boss Wu was a little taboo about the details of the bronze door, so I didn't ask any more, but asked, "Then did you enter the bronze door?"

Boss Wu shook his head and said, "No, it's not that easy to enter the bronze door."

"Then how did you get here?" I continued to ask.

Boss Wu smiled helplessly and said, "Since the door could not be opened, we naturally climbed up, but after a lot of hardships, when we returned to the ground, we found that the desert had disappeared, but came to this island."

Boss Wu paused and said, "Of course, I said we, not including your two friends. They stayed by the giant tree and said they wanted to wait for you to come out. At that time, I separated from them."

I think Boss Wu is lying or omitting a lot. When he was at the bronze door, a lot of things should have happened. I don't believe that Boss Wu worked hard to find the bronze door and will return to the ground because he couldn't open it. He must have racked his brains to open the bronze door, but because he encountered some kind of If you don't return, you choose to retreat.

And, if I guess correctly, if you want to return to the ground, you can only take the elevator we took, but when we met the elevator, it was entangled by various plants and obviously had not been moved.

There is only one possibility here, that is, Boss Wu and others came out later than us.

However, Boss Wu also said that they separated from Liang Qian and others before going to the ground, but when we left, we saw Liang Qian alone, which showed that we were the last to go out.

There are many strange things, but I can't question Boss Wu one by one, because it's not good to dismantle his platform now.
