Everyone followed Zhou Xingrong to the warehouse next to the library, and the warehouse keeper began to distribute protective clothing to them, which was made of black synthetic material, and after changing, they put on a helmet to completely isolate their bodies from the outside world.

Zhang Chi estimated that this set of armor was prepared to deal with the Soul Eater, although the protective suit was not heavy, but he felt a little depressed after wearing it all neatly, Zhang Chi took off the helmet, and his face did not need protection.

Cao Mingmin led several professors over, and they were all wearing protective clothing.

"Hello students, there was some unexpected situation just now, the academy decided to suspend this training camp immediately, we will evacuate all of us immediately, there are a total of twenty-six students, divided into four groups. I, Professor Liang, Professor Meng, and Teacher Zhou each have a group. ”

Before they arrived, they had divided the groups into groups of six, and there were two groups of seven people.

Zhang Chi, Bai Xiaomi, Zhen Xiubo and other six people were assigned to Professor Liang's group. In addition to being the team leader, Zhang Chi also had to help Lao Liang carry the stretcher, and Xue Hongyang was still unconscious.

Zhang Chi raised a question, Luo Shiqi has not been found yet, is it just thrown him in Hell Valley?

Cao Mingmin told him not to worry, there are still seven staff members in Hell Valley itself, they will continue to search, and when the train arrives, a search team sent by the academy will arrive, and the task of finding Luo Shiqi will be entrusted to them.

Cao Mingmin is calm on the surface, but in fact, she is also very nervous inside, there has been a big incident after she became the head of the department, and this training camp has just started and she has encountered trouble, if this matter is not handled properly, she can only take the blame and resign.

Zhang Chi and Professor Liang carried the stretcher, and the group retreated in an orderly manner in the direction of the railway station.

When they were about to arrive at the mining station, the ground suddenly shook several times in a row, and everyone thought that the train from the martial arts crossing had arrived, and the vibration was caused by the wheels passing through the seams of the rails, but judging from the time, it should not be so fast.

The train from Wudaokou was running at high speed in the dark underground tunnel, and Dean Qu Yangming personally came with the car, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified, the Hell Valley base was the first B-level base open to students, and for the sake of caution, he had already taken sufficient safety measures, and had been running safely for nearly a month before. But something still went wrong, it's really better to be a human being than a heavenly one.

The train clearly began to slow down.

Qu Yangming's two thick eyebrows were twisted together, and he heard the screeching sound of wheels rubbing against the rails.

The emergency brakes lock the wheels and screech across the rails, sparks rubbing between the wheels and the rails.

The rescue team members came to Qu Yangming's carriage: "Dean Qu, there is a roadblock ahead!"

Qu Yangming nodded, and after the train stopped, he got off the train and saw that the tracks two hundred meters away from the head of the train were covered with large rockfalls, and the rescue team had already taken the lead in getting off the train and began to clean up the rockfalls on the tracks.

Qu Yangming took a step forward, but his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly shouted: "Come back! All come back!" As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, the rails twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, a creaking sound sounded, and the screws that fastened the sleepers arched from the ground one by one, and the tunnel in front of them fell like rain, and the seven rescue team members were about to be hit by falling rocks.

Qu Yangming's arms were opened, and the qualitative and intangible potential rapidly expanded forward, and the rockfall at the top of the tunnel was held up by this invisible potential before it landed.

The frightened rescue team members watched the magical scene around them in amazement, and the huge falling rocks seemed to float in the air.

"What are you doing stupidly? Retreat!"

The rescue team members who had just woken up from a dream hurriedly fled in the direction of the train, they had just left the dangerous area, Qu Yangming's arms shook, and the falling rocks that had just pressed the pause button fell to the ground, and the tunnel had been filled in an instant.

Qu Yangming's face turned blue and muttered, "It's late!"

An Chongguang was awakened by the ringing of the phone and answered the phone.

A hurried voice said: "Director An, there has just been an abnormal fluctuation in Zhongzhou Market, it should be an earthquake, and the depth of the epicenter is twenty kilometers. ”

"What?" An Chongguang sat up.

Shake!

More and more violent vibrations!

The faces of all the teachers changed, they didn't have time to enter the minecart, the dust kept falling from the top of the tunnel overhead, Cao Mingmin realized that the situation was developing to the worse side, she quickly made a decision: "Go back now, go back now!"

No sooner had they left the mine station than the tunnel behind them collapsed, and with a loud boom, a wave of smoke and dust came in, everyone knew what it meant, the exit was blocked, and they were already trapped in the valley of hell.

Xue Hongyang, who had been unconscious, also woke up at this time and let out a panicked scream.

Seeing the heavily armed teachers and students around him, he howled in pain: "Luo Shiqi! Luo Shiqi attacked me, he is a soul eater!"

No one paid attention to this matter anymore, because in the face of this sudden earthquake, the news had become less important, and stones kept falling overhead, and two girls who did not rush to dodge were hit by falling rocks, and although they were wearing armor and helmets, they were still smashed and fainted.

Cao Mingmin ordered each group to take charge of their own affairs, and they must return to the camp in Hell Valley as soon as possible, the special structure of the camp's caves is relatively strong, and it is necessary to arrive there before the earthquake arrives to save their lives to the greatest extent.

No sooner had they returned to base than a powerful earthquake had already arrived.

Everyone stumbled into the cave, the smaller the cave is relatively stronger, the less likely it is to collapse, the earthquake caused a large number of rockfalls, so try to go up as much as possible to avoid being sealed in the cave by falling rocks.

Everyone was gathered in the girls' dormitory on the seventh floor, and Zhang Chi, Bai Xiaomi, and Zhen Xiubo were crowded in their dormitory. They were like sitting on a bumpy boat, first swaying from side to side, then up and down, and then back and forth.

Zhen Xiubo couldn't stand it anymore, took off his helmet, and threw it out.

The strong earthquake made her body lose balance and rushed towards Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi was worried that she would be injured, so he could only stretch out his arms to hug her, Bai Mi fell to the ground, and his hands quickly hugged his left thigh.

The ground seemed to be tilted, and the three of them slid towards the bottom of the cave screaming in unison, their bodies hitting the hard stone wall, and then being pushed outward by a powerful force, Zhang Chi's back slammed into the door panel, Zhen Xiubo slipped out of his arms, screaming and hugging Zhang Chi's right leg, the two girls hugged their thighs It was not easy.

Shaking from the bottom up, the bodies of the three of them shook up from the ground, and Zhen Xiubo, who was not wearing a helmet, hit her head on the hard vault, and she screamed loudly in pain.

Landing again, I felt that the ground was tilting backwards again, Zhang Daxian's pants could no longer withstand the pull of the two female classmates, and with a snort, the pants were stripped off by them, revealing the briefs inside. Zhang Daxian is so depressed! The earthquake is not a car earthquake, what are you doing with my pants?

Fortunately, it was pitch black in the cave, and no one could see his current embarrassment.

Don't look at Bai Xiaomi and Zhen Xiubo, one is usually indispensable, the other is very aggressive, but in this situation, they still expose their timid side, each of them holds a thigh firmly, and they also find that the texture is a little wrong, it is good to have a thigh hug at this time, how can you be picky.

The tremor lasted about five minutes, but it felt like a long century for them. After calming down a little, Bai Xiaomi turned on the emergency light on his helmet, saw the hairy big thick leg close at hand, and looked up to see that there was an emergency tent on the top of his head.

Bai Xiaomi hurriedly let go as if she had been bitten by a snake, Zhen Xiubo was shocked, her hands were tightly hugging her flabby thighs, not to mention, her face was still attached to it, and her fluffy feeling was good.

Zhang Chi reminded her: "Let go, have you touched enough?"

Zhen Xiubo screamed exaggeratedly and quickly let go of his hand.

Zhang Daxian sighed secretly, the quality of this protective clothing is too special, so that the two girls can easily pick it up. The thing got up from the ground and lifted up his pants, and the waistband of his pants was broken, and it was hard enough to think about it, and it was a little scary to think about it, thanks to the fact that they were not in the wrong place.

Bai Millet turned off the lights, and the whole cave fell into darkness again, and the air was full of the smell of dust.

Zhen Xiubo covered her nose and kept coughing, she thought of an extremely terrible reality, even if they were lucky enough to escape this earthquake, but how could they escape, they had seen the tunnel collapse with their own eyes at the mining station just now, and now they were twenty kilometers underground, how could they escape? Who would come to save them?

Bai Xiaomi restarted the light, Zhang Chi tidied up his clothes, took off the helmet and handed it to Zhen Xiubo, he really didn't need this thing, it was cumbersome to wear. Find your own bag and carry it well, which contains his transformation combination shield, transformation combination knife, and most importantly, double mille-feuille cloth shoes.

Lifting his foot and kicking open the door of the deformed room, there was a coughing sound outside, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the grizzled Professor Liang and Professor Meng had already appeared on the platform, and the earthquake just now caused many places to collapse, and a large number of rockfalls had filled all the ground below the third floor.

They began to count the number of people, except for Luo Shiqi, who disappeared before, there was no loss of personnel, twenty-six classmates, five teachers, seven staff members of Hell Valley were all there, and twelve people were slightly injured, but they were all flesh wounds, and there was no major problem.

After the situation stabilized a little, Professor Liang and Professor Meng went to investigate the condition of the road, and soon they returned disappointed, the tunnel leading to the mine station collapsed and blocked, and it was impossible to return the way they came.

The canteen and water source are on the first floor, and now they are completely buried without rocks, and they will soon face the problem of lack of water and food.

Some timid girls had begun to cry, and several professors got together to discuss countermeasures, they couldn't mess around, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they had to persevere.

Cao Mingmin asked Zhou Xingrong to lead two staff members to find water and food, hoping to find some from the cave.

Xue Hongyang stood on the platform in a daze, and he was newly promoted to a deposed soul.

Professor Liang and Xue Hongyang have a good relationship, and can understand Xue Hongyang's mood at this time, but the first thing to do now is not to comfort him, he sighed and said, "Teacher Xue, let's get out of here first." ”

Cao Mingmin found the administrator of the library and archives and asked him if he had any detailed drawings of Hell Valley, and the administrator had just taken over the work here, so he was not familiar with the materials of Hell Valley, but he only knew the storage area, and he had not had time to sort it out.

The library and archives are located on the sixth floor, and Cao Mingmin decided to send some people to the archives to help find materials, and find as many architectural drawings as possible of Jigokudani, which is also the most feasible plan at present.

Zhang Chi's group was sent to help, and the library and archives occupied a total of three caves, because of the earthquake, the room was in shambles, and the books and archives were scattered all over the ground, and the archivist took them to the place where the Jigokudani archives were stored in the past.

Zhang Chi reminded the students that the key is to find the information of the supporting facilities structure diagram, in the past, Hell Valley was one of the seven major mines for mining Reiki, of course, there is more than one exit, emergency exit, power supply, ventilation and drainage.

The fate of all is at stake, and no one dares to slack off, looking for useful maps from messy sources.

Zhen Xiubo found a map, Zhang Chi took a closer look, this map is very detailed, but it is a new version, it is a map after the mine was converted into a recuperation center. There are four emergency exits on the map, but all of them are on the ground floor.

Bai Xiaomi made a discovery at this time, she found a structural map of the past mine, and laid the drawings on the ground, because the mine has been rebuilt several times after being abandoned, so the internal structure has changed a lot, comparing the two maps, and found that several emergency exits in the past are all impossible, but an emergency exit was found on the fifth floor of the old map, Zhang Chi called the administrator and pointed it out to him.

The administrator shook his head and said: "This exit is long gone, fifteen years ago, there was a permeable collapse accident in the Hell Valley mine, and the three major mining areas were closed, this emergency exit is a one-way passage to the sixth mining area, not to mention that it has been closed, even if it is still through, it is only from the sixth mining area to the central mining area, and the sixth mining area has no way out." ”

Several other female classmates also found some maps, but they were not of much reference value, Zhang Chi picked up these two maps to find Cao Mingmin, and reported the information to her.

Zhou Xingrong, who went to look for drinking water and food, also came back, and they only found a dozen bottles of mineral water and distributed them to everyone, that is, the two of them were divided into one bottle, and nothing was found in terms of food. The teachers and students had all their luggage, and fortunately they all brought some snacks, but these snacks were not enough for them to support the day.

The tunnel to the train station collapsed in a large area, and it was impossible to go back the way it came.

Cao Mingmin picked up Zhang Chi's map to ask for the opinions of several professors, and Xue Hongyang, who had been gloomy in the distance, also walked over, looked at the map for a while, and said: "Fifteen years ago, I know that there were 372 people who did not have time to escape from the sixth mining area, and all of them were trapped inside. ”

Cao Mingmin said: "There is no other road, we have lost contact with the outside world, if we wait for them to rescue, I don't know when to wait, even if it is a dead end, we must try." ”

Professor Leung agreed.

After exchanging opinions, several people decided to temporarily set up an expedition team to explore the way first, even if they could not find a way out, they hoped to find water and food, and only by solving the problem of survival could they support some more time and wait for the rescue team to arrive.

They decided to be led by Professor Liang, Professor Meng and Zhou Xingrong joined, and Zhang Chi took the initiative to join the expedition.

Xue Hongyang took the initiative to ask: "I'll go too, I went to the sixth mining area when I was an apprentice, and I still have some impressions of the terrain inside." ”

Cao Mingmin still had some concerns about his physical condition, Xue Hongyang said that he had no problem, although the spiritual pressure and spiritual energy were cleared, but he was a second-grade martial artist, and his physical strength and force value were not affected, even if he encountered danger, he could protect himself.

The six-member expedition team made a little preparation, and then entered the fifth floor, Cao Mingmin said goodbye to them one by one, and when he came to Zhang Chi, he said softly: "Be careful." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Director Cao, don't worry, we will definitely find a way out." ”

A group of six people came to the fifth floor, and the place where the safety exit was marked was in the restroom on the fifth floor, and the earthquake just now formed a herringbone crack in the back wall of the restroom, which was large enough for an adult to pass sideways.

Professor Liang observed the crack by the light of the overhead lamp, and wondered in his heart, how could this matter be so coincidental, he was already ready to blow up the sealed passage, but he didn't expect that the earthquake would re-expose the hidden passage.

Xue Hongyang said: "It's strange, it's actually cracked." ”

Professor Meng said: "It's better to crack up, so we don't have to use explosives." ”

Professor Liang entered the crack sideways, walked not far away, a fault appeared in front of him, condensed spiritual power, blue light fluctuations in his palm, a blue-white ball of light rose from his palm, Professor Liang's right hand waved gently, the ball of light floated forward, and the place where it went suddenly became brighter, the ball of light slowly settled to the bottom of the fault, using the illumination of the ball of light, you can see that the bottom of the fault is about twenty meters away from where they are, and the bottom is full of rocks, must reach the spiritual realm of the second grade of the aura is compelling.

His eyes moved with the ball of light, and Xue Hongyang pointed to the rocky ditch and said, "It seems to be the entrance there." ”

Professor Meng said, "I'll take a look!" He leaped into the air, and his body had already flown into the air.

Zhang Chixin said that Lao Meng is awesome, more than 20 meters high, equivalent to an eight-story building, just jump down like this, ordinary people have to break bones if they don't fall to death.

Professor Meng's body slowly descended, as if a pair of invisible hands dragged him, using his own spiritual energy to hedge against gravity, the superpower called it the slow descent technique, and the spiritual path cultivation must reach the third realm of negative qi and spirit before he could use the slow descent technique.

It was the first time for Zhang Chi to see these professors using spiritual energy outside the virtual system, if it wasn't for the time of life and death, these professors would not have revealed their true skills, although these superpowers could not be compared with the immortals, but their abilities were far beyond ordinary people.
