Chapter 93
The people at the entrance were stunned when they heard the scream before they turned around to look inside.
“Are there any mutant monsters or beasts in the cave?” they thought.
Even if there was, the firewood that was burning with fire was now blocking the entrance of the cave, the Nocturna Herons were outside of the cave, and now, there might even be threats in the cave. They truly had nowhere to escape.
Wayne immediately said, “Sim, you protect Mr. Eastwood and Sienna. Yoseph, look after Ms. Fox and Mr. Fox. Louis and I will move deeper inside.”
At this time, the danger outside was obvious, but the Nocturna Herons were afraid of fire, so the fire at the entrance was enough to block them, but the unknown danger inside the cave was the most dangerous thing.
“Okay, be careful.” Simon pulled out a military dagger to protect Oliver and Sienna.
They had never met any danger like Enchanting Hollow before when they were in the army or elsewhere, but now, they decided not to think too much since this scenario had already exceeded what they had experienced before. The most important thing now was to protect themselves since no one knew what would happen later.
Gabriel went into the cave alone, and no one knew what he met inside or how he was now.
Wayne then took a head-probe mine lamp cap, held his handgun, and went inside. Louis followed him. The two of them watched the terrain in front very carefully.
Gabriel let out that first scream and didn’t make any more sounds after that. The cave was dark and quiet.
After taking a few steps, Louis took out night vision goggles from his backpack and handed them to Wayne. “Wayne, put this
on.”
Those were the latest high-tech night vision goggles bought by Gunther from private channels for Louis and the six bodyguards, but four of the bodyguards died, so there were a few extra sets of equipment. Besides, Wayne and Simon far outperformed them in both combat arts and shooting techniques. So giving Wayne a set of equipment would be good for
everyone.
Wayne put the night vision goggles on and was shocked.
The user could see colors through the night vision goggles. At present, most vision shown through the night vision goggles on the market was in black and white. It was not like there weren’t any night vision goggles that could see color, but they were still being developed and were quite expensive. Not even the special brigade with the best configuration had such an advanced configuration at present.
In addition, the night vision goggles had thermal detectors. The night vision goggles they used before only projected black and white images, and only the outline of the image could be seen. For example, humans would have the outlines of a human, and animals would have an outline of an animal under night vision.
However, these night vision goggles provided color restoration, meaning that the images seen were exactly the same as that seen by the naked eye during the day. It restored the color and also the complete picture of all objects.
The expression on his face was clear. Wayne thought, “Where did Louis get something so good?”
After the night vision goggles were put on, the lights weren’t as useful anymore.
Louis also put on night vision goggles, and they both observed their surroundings.
The deeper the hole was, the wider it became. After walking a few dozen feet, the height and diameter of the cave had expanded by more than 33 feet, and it seemed like it would only increase as they headed deeper into the cave.
Louis coughed, and echoes could be heard from the cave.
Wayne knew that the more echoes they heard, the deeper the cave was, especially when the echoes were loud and clear.
Before seeing Gabriel, Wayne walked and whispered, “Professor Lewis! Professor Lewis!”
There were no replies, but Wayne’s night vision goggles suddenly saw a half-foot-long reptile flashing by, but the thermal detector didn’t show-it,
He wondered, “Even something this high-tech can’t detect it?”
However, Wayne immediately understood that the thermal detector was detecting something that had body heat. Those kinds of cave-dwelling reptiles’ bodies were very cold and were below a certain degree of temperature, so the thermal detector could not detect them.
For example, fish underwater and hibernating snakes couldn’t be detected.
Wayne looked back at Louis, and the thermal detector immediately showed that it was indeed the case with temperature. Seeing Wayne looking back at him, Louis asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
Wayne made a cautious gesture to Louis and whispered, “Be careful. The temperature of the creatures in this cave is estimated to be very low, so the thermal detector cannot detect it. You can see them with the night vision goggles, but we may be confused if they don’t move in the darkness, so be extremely careful.”
Louis nodded and felt nervous all of a sudden.
He wasn’t afraid of any enemies, opponents, or dangers, but it was a different situation if it was unknown.
Wayne paid special attention to the cave walls on both sides and overhead. The color of the things in the cave was generally similar to that of stones, which had an invisible effect like a chameleon.
After walking to a depth of around 100 yards, the cave was already big enough for a car to drive through. There were many strange stalagmites hanging on the wall and on top of the cave, some still dripping with water.
Through the display of night vision goggles, these stalagmites were as white as a jade stone and looked particularly beautiful.
Within 30 feet, another arrow-like stalagmite appeared on top and on the ground, a huge bunch of them. There were at least thousands of stalagmites.
However, most of them didn’t connect with each other from top to bottom, and they were a few dozen inches or more than three feet away from connecting.
There were five or six fully connected ones.
Louis couldn’t help but praise, “It’s so beautiful!”
The scenery made Louis forget about the danger he was in at that moment. After entering around 600 feet into the cave, they couldn’t hear the sound from outside anymore, and there was only silence.
Wayne walked slowly. The scenery was really beautiful, but he was still much more vigilant than Louis.
After all, he was a professionally trained scout who had handed over countless battles against overseas agents and survived that bloody situation, so Louis, who was trained in the safe zone, could never be on par with Wayne in terms of combat arts.
Passing by the stalagmite forest, Wayne suddenly stopped.
He suddenly had a strange sense of danger and didn’t know what was going on.
Through the night vision goggles, he carefully observed everything and didn’t let off any details.
However, he still didn’t see anything weird, and the sense of danger was getting stronger.
Seeing that Wayne slowed down, Louis couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Wayne, what did you find?”
Wayne answered without looking back, “Be careful. I don’t feel right.”
Hearing Wayne’s words, Louis was also instantly alerted and carefully scanned the surroundings.
Wayne walked as slow as a sloth, holding a gun and a dagger in each hand.
He didn’t see anything moving. There were no anomalies through the night vision goggles, and nothing was detected through the thermal detector. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
They slowly turned into a corner, and Wayne suddenly saw a person lying on the ground in front of him. He then immediately stopped to take a better look.
It was Gabriel, but he lay motionless. Wayne didn’t know whether he fainted or died. Nothing else could be seen next to Gabriel.
Wayne pondered, but suddenly, a slender stalagmite flew toward his face like an arrow.
