Xiao Lei and Dr. Chen collapsed in the alleyway, and I don't know how long it took. The oxygen content in the well is getting lower and lower, and the two people keep talking, just don't want to faint due to lack of oxygen, and try to persevere.

In the end, Xiao Lei was younger, slowly regained some strength, endured the pain all over his body, got up, touched Dr. Chen's side, and tried to help him up. Dr. Chen seemed to have collapsed, only his consciousness was still clear, Xiao Lei held Dr. Chen with one hand, pulled out a spare flashlight from his backpack with the other, and walked back along the alley with one foot deep and one shallow.

Dr. Chen still remembered the distribution of some lanes, pointed out the path to Xiao Lei, and talked about what happened from last night to today.

After Dai and Dr. Chen made the scene of their own self-immolation, they secretly entered the tunnel next to the test shaft with two miners who were hiding in Dai's house, but to their surprise, they thought that the eight miners who went in front of them should have dug through the mine sealed in the Ming Dynasty, but when they went in, they found that the project had not started at all, and the excavation tools were scattered all over the place, and the bonfire that had been lit had not been extinguished, but the people did not know where they went.

Mine Chief Dai hurriedly blocked the tunnel that came in, and led people to start searching for the missing miners. They walked all the way to the center of the maze, in the alley where they had excavated the coal and jade water urchins, and finally found that the eight miners were standing in front of a huge coal and jade stone wall, like a few sculptures, motionless, and I don't know how long they had been standing.

This coal jade wall is more than two meters high and three meters wide, occupying the entire end of the roadway. The miners not only cleaned the soil on the stone wall, but also seemed to spend a lot of time carefully wiping the stone wall, and the whole stone wall appeared extremely smooth and translucent, and the back of the stone wall seemed to be burning with a raging fire, so that the entire stone wall transmitted a soft golden yellow light. The liquid in the water urchs in the stone walls no longer seemed to be stationary, swaying with the dancing flames, casting illusory light and shadow in the shallow lanes.

Mine Chief Dai only felt that everything in front of him was strange and heart-beating, and he was about to step forward to pull the miners who were stunned against the stone wall, but his wrist was grabbed by Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen whispered to Mr. Dai that the eight miners had lost their eyes, their pupils had disappeared, their limbs were stiff, and the blood vessels in their necks had burst, and they looked like they had been infected by the virus for a long time, and they were at risk of spontaneous combustion at any time, and they could not be saved.

But Dr. Chen only grabbed Dai, while the other two miners, shouting the names of the others, ran over and reached for their companions.

And what greeted the two miners was a solid hug, but this hug was full of the breath of death, and it was too powerful, and the two miners were still full of joy for a second, and when they turned their faces, they looked desperate. They struggled to get rid of the swarthy arm around their waists, but it was clearly in vain, and the struggle made the arm tighten even tighter, so that Chief Dai could clearly hear the sound of the joint breaking, but he couldn't tell whose sound it was coming from.

But immediately, Dai realized that this speculation was meaningless, and the two miners had been strangled to a pale face, their eyes bulging outward, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, and no sound came out of their throats. Correspondingly, the miner who hugged the man, his face was also flushed, as if the blood in his whole body was squeezed to seep out of the skin, Rao was still expressionless, which made Dai Mine's back cold and his legs began to weaken.

At this time, it was Dr. Chen who remained awake, and he grabbed Dai Mine's arm and ran a few steps. The zombie-like miners, their muscles and joints seemed to be frozen, moving mechanically and slowly, and soon, Dr. Chen and Dai had already pulled a dozen steps away from them.

When they looked back again, the entire pit was covered in a strong white light, and the four entangled miners, in the cyan flames, became completely transparent, and light came out of every pore, even if there was a wrap of clothes on the outside, the light could still penetrate through the cracks in the fabric. A few seconds later, large puffs of green smoke rose into the air and gathered on the roof of the cave. But for some reason, the green smoke made a strange sharp whistle, as if it was alive, circled over the burning bodies of the miners, and then quickly passed over the heads of the miners, and disappeared into the dark tunnels.

At this time, the other miners, who were not affected by the flames in the slightest, turned around again and continued to stare at the ever-changing flames in the coal spirit jade wall, as if it were the most beautiful fairyland in the world.

Mine Chief Dai and Dr. Chen retreated to the edge of the roadway and discussed in a low voice. Mine Chief Dai still did not give up, thinking that the miners were confused by the flames in the stone wall, and there must be a way to rescue them. Dr. Chen has been persuading the mine manager that even if the miners are taken out of the mine, within a few days, they will burn themselves to death, and it is better to dig the tunnel that came in and go out and turn it into a family ridge to see if there is a chance to escape.

The two were discussing when suddenly they saw the miners in front of the stone wall, and began to move, mechanical and slow, but straight towards the stone wall. When both Mr. Dai and Dr. Chen thought the miners were going to crash into the rock wall, an incredible scene happened.

The stone wall in front of the miners seemed to begin to melt, forming a hole filled with gelatinous material more than one person high, and when the miners in front entered, it was obvious that there was still a lot of resistance, and the movement became very slow, but soon, the surface of the stone wall was flooded with ripples like water waves, and the miners were like a stone, instantly falling into the water waves, turning into an ethereal phantom, followed by the next miner, and the dark shadow scattered in the ripples.

The whole process didn't take long, just a few minutes, and if it weren't for the fact that the stone wall was empty soon, Dai and Dr. Chen would only think that all this was an illusion after extreme hypoxia. But who can believe everything in front of them if they don't see it in person?

Mine Chief Dai took a few steps forward and stopped four or five meters away from the stone wall, and could vaguely see the backs of several miners in the stone wall who were shrinking and blurring. Dr. Chen's heart tightened, and he saw that the eyes of Mine Chief Dai looking at the stone wall began to become ethereal and ethereal, almost no different from the miners in front of the stone wall just now.

Dr. Chen hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Dai Mine's arm, and dragged him out. Mine Chief Dai did not struggle, and followed Dr. Chen out of the mine and into the tunnel.

"Old Chen, we have been digging coal essence jade for so many years, and only today have we discovered that there are so many secrets hidden in these stones? It is the greatest regret to be close at hand but know nothing, what do you see in the flames behind the stone wall?" Dai muttered in a low voice as he walked behind Dr. Chen.

Doctor Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Lao Dai, I didn't see anything, I just felt that the flames were like beasts that could devour people, constantly hitting the stone wall, don't think so much, let's go out first." ”

"Old Chen, I saw a strange world in the flames, there are mountains, rivers, forests, and pavilions, but everything is floating in the air, but it is very real, how do I feel like we are going to a secluded place?"

"Lao Dai, don't think about it, the oxygen content is too low here, our brain is starved of oxygen, and there will be hallucinations, so we can't delay, let's go out quickly." Dr. Chan tried his best to speed up his pace, but his chest felt like a boulder, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.

"Lao Chen, have you thought about it, what can we do even if we go out? The brothers have all entered the stone wall, no matter where we hide, we can't forget this incident, we will not be able to sleep peacefully because of the flames in the stone wall, maybe we also have the virus on our bodies, but we don't know it. ”

"Lao Chen, we went out of the tunnel next to the test shaft, and we may not be able to avoid those public security, they should have found out by now that we faked the scene of spontaneous combustion, and are tracking it down, if you are caught, you will say that you were coerced into the cave by me, and I threatened you to do it, so push it on me alone." I feel ashamed of you in my heart, I shouldn't have mixed you in, if you give me out, I will feel at ease. After you're okay, remember to take out the money we transferred out and distribute it to the families of our brothers, so we didn't work in vain. ”

Dr. Chen listened to Mine Chief Dai's chatter, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could it be like his last words? Judging the two of them from the capable and deep Mine Chief Dai that he was familiar with, his heart tightened, and an ominous premonition flashed in his mind, and he quickly turned his head away.

But he hadn't seen the person who had already seen the head of the mine, and there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes were black, and he collapsed in the alley, knowing nothing.

Dr. Chan didn't know how long it took for him to wake up, but he got up and shone his flashlight around, but there was no one again. Dr. Chen shouted the name of Mine Chief Dai several times, and there was only a deathly silence except for empty echoes.

Dr. Chen stood up and walked to the coal and jade wall in the pit again, which had already become pitch black, but as he approached, the flames inside jumped up again, and the whole stone wall cast a pale yellow light, which was confusing. Dr. Chen did not dare to approach, but he seemed to see the mountains, rivers and buildings mentioned by Dai Mine Chief from the flames, like a freehand ink landscape painting, slowly unfolding.
