A week later, news came from the south bank of the Heilongjiang River that as the drill bit continued to go deeper, Anne and they found a huge cave thirty meters underground.

He Zihong and Yang Tuo used a probe to sample air from the cave and determined that the composition was close to the ground, and human access was unhindered.

When Wei Xingshan learned of the news, he immediately informed Lin Shuo.

So on September 1, 2004, Lin Shuo took all the members of the trip to the edge of the pit on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River.

This circular pothole, the latest masterpiece of Chinese oil workers, is less than 20 meters from Heilongjiang, with a diameter of five meters and a depth of 30 meters.

Because of the strange creatures involved, most of the Chinese people have been evacuated after the hole was drilled, leaving only a border guard force of 20 officers and soldiers responsible for guarding the safety of the cave entrance.

Lin Shuo and his party went down to the bottom of the pit one by one along the rope ladder erected on the wall of the cave.

An underground crack in the shape of a date pit appeared in front of their eyes.

This crack is about four meters wide and more than one meter high, and people can enter it half-squatting.

Yang Tuo had measured the temperature in the crack with a probe before, and it was about minus 5 degrees Celsius, and if you go deeper, it may be even colder.

When everyone arrived at the bottom of the cave, the first thing they did was to add clothes.

The military coats, hats, and masks provided by the Chinese side were placed on the edge of the cracks, and everyone first opened the boxes to pick up the goods and put on all that they could wear.

"I have measured this cave with ultrasound, dozens of kilometers, very deep. Yang Tuo said while wearing a military coat, "It's a pity that the direction of this cave is from the Russian side." Otherwise, near Mohe, there is another tourist attraction that can be developed. ”

"Hey, isn't that blind? Maozi doesn't have many people in the Far East. Wei Xingshan put antifreeze filler in his steel helmet and complained.

Lin Shuo was standing in front of the crack, twitching his nose.

A puff of cold air from the cave was inhaled into his nose, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Mr. Lin, the activity of olfactory cells is affected by temperature. He Zihong said, "The temperature here is very low, your sense of smell should not be as sensitive as before, right?"

Lin Shuo nodded.

"It's better to wear a mask. "Although the mask will filter some of the odor factors, it can at least keep warm and maintain the activity of olfactory cells." ”

Lin Shuo let out a "hmm" when he heard this, bent down and took out a mask from the equipment box and put it on his face.

However, he also added an extra mask all over his body.

"Lao Lin, you should wear more clothes, don't freeze when you turn around. Wei Xingshan said, picked up a military coat in the box and draped it on Lin Shuo's body, "Come, stretch out your arms!"

Lin Shuo turned his head and glanced at Wei Xingshan, with some helplessness in his eyes.

He doesn't wear this kind of thick coat in order to keep his body flexible, and if there is any accident inside, he can take care of it in time.

And, he knew it wouldn't be that cold inside all the time.

But he couldn't resist Wei Xingshan's enthusiasm, so Lin Shuo had no choice but to stretch out his arm and put on the sleeves of his coat.

"That's right. Listen to people's advice and eat well. Wei Xingshan said, "Lao Lin, let me tell you, if you enter it for a while, if there are people, we will deal with it with a few shots, if there is really anything strange, it depends on you." If you look back and freeze like a grandson, and you can't pull the bow in a trembling way, then our gang will be all finished. ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you can wear more. Liu Qing also stepped forward, with a little smile on his face, and wrapped a wool scarf around Lin Shuo's neck and circled it a few times.

Anne also walked to the front of Lin Shuo at this time, this Nizi glanced up at Lin Shuo, blinked, with a smile on her face, and reached out to tie the button for Lin Shuo: "Yes, don't freeze." ”

Lin Shuo didn't know how the tacit understanding of this group of people came about, everyone worked together, and soon wrapped themselves into a zongzi.

In Lin Shuo's eyes, although this kind of behavior is concerned, it is more of a trick on him.

But everyone has been getting along for a while, and people's hearts are flesh and blood, and now their faces can't be pulled down.

No way, let it be at the mercy of others.

At this time, Lin Shuo heard movement overhead, and when he looked up, he saw that Chaiye was being sent down from above the cave.

The giant recurve bow was too heavy for the rope ladder to bear, so the crane had to be hoisted down from above, and one end hit the bottom of the cave.

Wei Xingshan took two steps ahead and helped the chasing master.

Anne was about to stop seeing this, she had touched Chaye before, and the feeling of palpitations was like being choked by someone's throat, which was very uncomfortable.

However, she soon found that Wei Xingshan actually looked as usual.

The giant man leaned on the chasing master with his whole body, and he held it, reached up and shook off the hook, and said in his mouth: "Come, Lao Lin, put the chasing master on his back again." ”

Lin Shuo looked at Wei Xingshan, but his feet didn't move.

"Hey, Lao Lin, you are not righteous!" Wei Xingshan was in a hurry, the weight of chasing the master was there, and now he was standing like this, Wei Xingshan could hold on for a while, but he couldn't hold on for long.

After just a while, the man's face turned red.

Lin Shuo took a few steps forward and gently pushed Wei Xingshan away.

Then he took the bowstring in one hand and flicked it lightly, and the giant recurve bow was slung cross-body on his back.

After carrying his back to chase after him, Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan again: "Old Wei, you are not bad." ”

"Huh?" Wei Xingshan didn't understand.

"Chasing Ye can afford you. After Lin Shuo finished speaking, he walked into the crack.

Inside, it was pitch black.

This darkness and the darkness of the night are two different senses, without a light source, the human eye cannot see anything no matter how long it adapts.

Soon, the light source came, and Wei Xingshan and they turned on their headlights.

After Wang Yong died, including the captain Wei Xingshan and the deputy captain Liu Qing, there were still fourteen mercenaries left. These people are now fully armed, with guns in their hands and steel helmets on their heads, and headlamps strapped to them.

Fourteen headlamps shone down, and the tip of the iceberg of this underground cave was revealed to everyone.

The crowd first noticed that their breath was bringing out the white mist.

Suddenly entering an absolutely dark area, the adrenaline rush made them not feel the cold for a moment.

At this time, as soon as they were reminded by the white fog, everyone shivered and began to observe the surroundings.

Surprisingly, the walls of this underground cave do not have that strange rocky feeling, and they are much smoother than expected.

At present, this hole is less than five meters wide, about three meters high, the length is not known, at least the headlamp shines through, this light is like throwing a stone into the sea, there is no difference, the front is still dark.

"This is sedimentary rock, also called aqueous rock. This type of stone is generally found on the surface of the earth, and there are very few underground. Yang Tuo looked at the cave wall, then looked at the dark place in front of the cave, and said slowly, "This cave, I suspect that it used to be an underground dark river, but later due to geological movements, the water ran out, and the river remained. ”

"Hmm. He Zihong nodded and approved Yang Tuo's interpretation.

The old man was a biologist, but biology and geology were close disciplines. The study of biological fossils should be based on geology.

"The oxygen level here is ok. Yang Tuo looked at the oxygen meter in his hand again, "It's close to the surface level, but I suggest that you don't stay in place for too long, after all, the air here is not circulating." ”

"Let's go. He Zihong waved his hand.

......

Solovyovsk is a city in the Russian Far East, located one hundred and twenty kilometers from Jalinda.

When it is said to be a city, it is about the same size as a town on the coast of China, not even a county seat.

However, compared to Jalinda, which is nominally a small city but is actually a fishing village, the various supporting facilities here are more than one grade better.

Liu Shunfu, the envoy of the Dragon King, was treated in the hospital here.

He lay in his hospital bed for a week, and on the eighth day, the blonde nurse walked into the room to find that he was gone.

The whole hospital searched up and down for a long time, and determined that he was diagnosed with severe internal bleeding seven days ago, and the difficulty of the operation was too difficult, and conservative treatment was recommended, and then the critical illness notice was issued, and the old man who was waiting for death in bed ran away.

......

Liu Shunfu was riding a donkey on the mountain road at the moment, his face was still a little pale, but his spirit was much better than before.

"You stupid donkey, why did you come?" Liu Shunfu muttered in his mouth, and slapped the donkey's head heavily with his hand, "Lao Tzu has been waiting for you in bed for seven days, if it weren't for the fact that my body and bones really can't walk far, I would have run away a long time ago." ”

"Those hairy people are chattering, and I don't know what they are talking about. If you come a few days late, they may sell you to the end of the bill, and they may not be enough to pay for your medical bills. ”

"But it stands to reason that this should be paid by the public, right?"

"Forget it, no matter what, I ran out anyway. ”

"You go faster, carry me to Liaojiazhai, there is still a dragon king festival to be held there, it is already a lot of late. ”

"I said donkey, what do you think of Widow He in Liaojiazhai?"

"Speaking of which, our old Liu family has been passed down to my generation, and they are all about to be extinct. My Lao Liu is in his fifties this year, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law. Hey!"

"I know that Widow He has a lame leg, but she is a good person, and she is quite handsome. When did you go to the stockade, didn't she fill a trough of bean feed and feed you to your heart's content? You can't have no conscience!"

"I know she's interesting to me, that trough of bean feed, into your mouth, but to keep, that's my heart. ”

"I did look down on her before. What is the background of our old Liu family, no matter how down-and-out we are now, we can't be so picky, right?"

"Besides, she is still a widow, and it is terrible for me to do this kind of business now. ”

"But after all, I always have to leave a queen for our old Liu family, right?"

"This time, I don't know if I can keep the Black Water Dragon City for that fool, and even if I do, I don't know if the fool will come back. ”

"But my Liu family has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and I can't do nothing. ”

"Donkey, donkey, after I'm gone, you can follow her. ”

"If she gives birth to a son and a half daughter for me, you have to take care of the child, you know?"

"I can't teach him anything myself, shepherds have passed on to my generation, forget it. ”

"In this world now, there is no way for us to live. ”

"Good peace, child. ”
