Chapter 64: Footsteps in the Cave

Before leaving, we checked the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was bright, but as soon as we walked into the cave more than ten meters, the whole space suddenly darkened.

The flashlight in our hands is a wolf-eye flashlight specially provided by the military, and the brightness is much stronger than that of ordinary flashlights, but these beams hit the black stone wall, but there is not much reflection, and it is still dark all around, and the atmosphere is very gloomy.

This cave is very long, the flashlight can not shine at the end, I walked to the edge of a stone wall to observe, found that this cave is about two meters high, the cave wall is rocky, dry to the touch, occasionally touch some vines of different thicknesses, most of them are hard, very handy, I don't know what kind of plant it is, I can't name it at all.

Walking in such a deep hole, everyone felt a lot of psychological pressure, even Captain Wang, who took the lead, his face was dark and inexplicably dignified.

Captain Wang turned back from time to time and asked the horse guide how to go?

After about two minutes of going on like this, according to my estimates, I had advanced at least two hundred meters, but there was no end in the hole, but there was a fork in the road.

When we came to the edge of the fork in the road, we stopped walking, and Captain Wang motioned for everyone to stop, and then looked back at me, a little bit of a word.

I reached out and asked him if he had anything to say.

Although this Captain Wang was a little arrogant and did not think much of my identity, he was a steady man after all, and did not express his contempt for me, but asked my opinion very seriously, and felt that it was appropriate to take which way to go.

Seriously, I couldn't answer either, so I had to be silent, walk to the front of the line, and then close my eyes and feel carefully.

Under the capture of Qichang, both roads were the same pitch black, and even the wind speed and air humidity were the same, so I turned around and said, "I can't tell, I guess it's the same which way to go." ”

The king looked at me, nodded, and said then go to the right, he is used to choosing the right.

I did not object, took out the folding saber, carved an arrow mark on the stone wall, and then followed the king team to continue down, about half a minute later, there was another fork in the road in front of me, still the same as the previous one, the left and right roads, almost identical, no difference could be found.

At the suggestion of Captain Wang, we continued to choose to the right, and walked for about 20 minutes, at least seven or eight forks in the road.

I whispered, "I'm afraid I can't go any further, the southwest area belongs to the Kashgar landform, the rock structure is relatively complex, such a cave is tantamount to a natural labyrinth, the more we go inside, the deeper we fall, and we may not be able to get out at that time." ”

Under the searchlight, Captain Wang's dark face looked a little tangled, he had already taken off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of very bright eyes, looking around like a falcon, for a long time, he retracted his gaze and said, "No matter how complicated the cave is, there should always be an end, we have already sat on the markers along the road, and the problem should not be big." ”

Still shaking my head, I pointed to the passage behind me and said, "Do you think we're already going around in circles when we cross the third fork?"

Seeing that he didn't believe me, I quickly walked to a corner, leaned over and picked up the cigarette butt on the ground, handed it to him, and asked him if he liked to smoke Red River.

Seeing the cigarette butt, Captain Wang's expression was a little uncalm, he was shocked, and said that this cigarette butt was indeed his, have we been standing still?

Then, the king ordered everyone to look and see if they could find the mark carved into the stone wall. The group dispersed, carefully searching along the stone wall, and after a while, everyone gathered together again, and everyone's face was a little pale, indicating that they had not found the arrow mark they had made before.

The most frightened person is the horse guide, his mouth twitched vigorously, trembling and making a fuss, and he said, look, they all told you not to go into this hole, but you just don't listen, now something happens, we may be trapped in it.

Captain Wang may not have a good temper, so he immediately grimaced, glared at him and said, "Don't you talk nonsense, do you know what you call disturbing the army?"

At this time, an old policeman who followed us in suddenly said, "I see, there are no marks on this stone wall, there can only be two situations, either something follows us and secretly erases the marks on the stone wall, or it picks up the cigarette butts thrown by the king team on the ground and deliberately puts the cigarette butts in front of it to confuse us!"

His analysis made sense, and Captain Wang and I nodded our heads. Then Captain Wang said, "Old Liao, what do you think should be done?"

The old policeman surnamed Liao was silent for a moment, then looked at us, "The environment in the cave is too complicated, my opinion is to withdraw first, and when we get to the outside of the cave, we will consider attacking with fire." ”

Lao Liao is worthy of being an old policeman, and his analysis of the problem is very organized, and I agree with his opinion, but Captain Wang is reluctant, and tightens the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, "Just go back like this, will it be too much?"

I know that this Captain Wang has a better face, and I should want to say that it is too embarrassing to go back like this, like a deserter. It was only in consideration of everyone's emotions that I held back and didn't say anything so ugly.

Just as everyone was arguing about this, I vaguely heard a very light footstep sound from a passage in front of me, and when the muscles on my back tensed, I shouted "Who is it"!

Captain Wang was startled by my movements, quickly grabbed my wrist, and said sharply, "What kind of nerves are you having, this gun is not insured, beware of misfire and injuring your own people!"

I looked helpless, this Captain Wang's words and deeds have repeatedly exposed his distrust of my ability, why am I holding a gun myself, can I not know if I am insured or not?

He clearly underestimated me, fearing that my psychological quality was not up to par, and he would come with a police gun.

In normal times, I really wanted to quarrel with him, but at this time I had to say, "Don't worry, I have a score in my heart, I won't shoot indiscriminately, just now I heard a sound of footsteps, just in front." ”

He didn't believe it, and listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, and asked me if I was hallucinating, why couldn't he hear it?

I was very confident in my ear power, after the transformation of the God Devouring Gu, my senses were already much more developed than ordinary people, and when I saw that he didn't believe it, I got up and said, "Go ahead and have a look!"

After saying that, I didn't care if he agreed or not, and walked forward with a flashlight.

Captain Wang whispered in the back, "How can you make your own claims?" Having said that, he still led his subordinates to follow, and I tiptoed to the front, feeling that I was getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, and as soon as my heart moved, I jumped the flashlight to the brightest, and then raised it high, and poked into the front of the sound source.

As soon as the light shone, a black shadow jumped across the sky and ran forward.

"Sure enough...... Chase!"

Captain Wang saw it clearly, and immediately shouted and rushed forward with his gun, while the others followed closely and tried to catch up.

After chasing for more than ten meters, the black shadow was gone, but the space suddenly opened up, I took a flashlight to shine, and found that there was a huge karst cave in front of me, the size of half a football field, interspersed with irregular rocks, and there were water droplets on my head, splashing down tick-tock, causing many repercussions.

At this time, a sharp-eyed little soldier suddenly pointed to the front and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh my God, look, what's ahead?"
