Chapter 265: Sleepy
"What should Cui Can do?" Mark looked at the dark cave in front of him, and then looked back at the figure behind him, there was no one, his heart beat for no reason, and his body trembled.
They have been in this cave for two days, and at the beginning, everyone was still together, but as they went deeper, all kinds of strange things always happened, and people disappeared from his sight with screams, and now there was only Cui Can by his side. This is still because Cui Can has been tied to each other's waists with ropes, always paying attention to his own safety, otherwise, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not become one of those who disappear. Of course, this disappearance is relative, not really disappearance. It's a little weird here, but so far, he's not in any danger, and so are those people.
Cui Can, who was in front, didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and looked at the road ahead with all his might. Although it looks like a simple cave, it is not difficult to breathe. But the road here is not easy. Not only are there many forks in the road, but there are also some small mechanisms. Of course, these mechanisms were not a problem for her. One is because her five senses are keen, and the other is because the book spirit reminds her from time to time, so there is no danger along the way.
He patted Mark's arm soothingly, "Let's go, there will always be an end here." It's always right for us to be careful. "Fortunately, she has a spiritual space, otherwise the food alone will be enough for her to have a headache.
Mark followed closely behind Cui Can, and at this time, Cui Can was his only hope. Although he has been engaged in archaeology, he has often encountered all kinds of dangerous things. But this is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing. Coupled with the disappearance of everyone one after another, Mark's heart is also under a lot of pressure.
"Goo!" Cui Can, who was in front, suddenly heard Mark's stomach growling in the back, although there was only the brightness of the flashlight in his hand. But it didn't affect her to know that Mark's face was red. He hadn't eaten for seven or eight hours. It's not that Cui Can is mean, it's just that the backpack on his body is so big, and the things that can be held in it are also limited.
I took a good picture of this place with a flashlight and found that it was quite safe. Cui Can glanced at Mark comfortingly, "Professor, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go to the front and have a look." Maybe there will be a reward? ”
"No need Cui Can, I don't want to stay here alone." Mark's hand tightly grasped Cui Can's backpack belt, and his eyes showed hesitation and fear.
The reason why Cui Can wanted to leave alone was to get him something. Otherwise, in front of him, how can you take it from the space? In addition, I have to solve my own personal problems, so I can't be with him all the time, right?
"Professor, it's safe for me to watch here. I'll make the rope longer. It's not going to get apart. I'll go and I'll come back. Cui Can's face showed a shy expression, which made Mark suddenly feel that his old face also turned red.
Loosened Cui Can's backpack belt, bowed his head and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Don't open the rope, or we'll be separated. ”
"Well, you sit down here and rest for a while, I'll be back soon." Cui Can spoke. Slowly let go of the rope around his waist. This rope is tens of meters long, in order to shorten the distance with the professor. So both of them had a lot of rope wrapped around their waists. At this moment, Mark watched Cui Can put the rope, and he also began to put it. I put it at a certain distance, and I tied the rest of it tightly around my waist.
Cui Can slowly walked forward while putting it down, and the light of the flashlight disappeared little by little in Mark's sight. Until he disappeared completely, Mark solved his personal problems on the spot, but he did not dare to have a large range of activities.
Cui Can took a closer look at the cave as he advanced. This cave should be a combination of man-made and natural formations, just like the cave they are walking in at the moment, at first glance, it is man-made. And some branches are naturally formed, so who is spending so much energy here? The discovery of this cave was underneath the site of their archaeology, so when it was first discovered, everyone was excited, at least this discovery let them know that they had not done useless work.
But how can there be such a big cave in the rainforest? Isn't the land supposed to be soft and wet? Why is this not the case at all? Also, it feels like the head is gone, but the breathing is not affected, and there is obviously an air outlet, so where is this air outlet?
Cui Can pondered the current situation as he walked. It wasn't until she felt the end of the rope around her waist that she stopped. After solving the physiological problem, a box of chocolates was taken out of the space. Walk back the same way, the distance is safe, and there are no pitfalls. Who exactly dug such a cave? What is the use of such a long time?
"Professor?" Returning to his original position, Cui Can was surprised to find that Mark was gone, and his rope was still there. Cui Can stretched the rope, and the other end was obviously still tied to something, which should still be on the professor's waist. Cui Can slowly groped along the rope and found that the other end of the rope seemed to be shaking.
"Mark?" Cui Can tried to shout a few times, and finally heard Mark's voice after walking a few dozen meters. His voice came from a smaller side hole, and was accompanied by Mark's response, and the sound of water.
Hydroacoustics? Cui Can was very confident in his hearing, and immediately quickened his pace, and soon saw the situation in front of him in the light of the flashlight. A section of the rope was missing somewhere in front of it, and Mark's response came from there, as did the sound of water.
Cui Can leaned over and found that Mark was hanging from a deep pit with a rope, and was looking up at Cui Can at this time. "What's going on?"
"Hey, pull me up and talk about it." It's very uncomfortable for Mark to be hung here, that is, there is more flesh on his body, and he can feel better at this time.
Cui Can looked at the cave while pulling people up. It was clearly a natural formation, and the sound of the water indicated that there was an alternative outlet to the pit below.
"Whew, it's finally up." After Mark was pulled up by Cui Can, he collapsed on the ground.
Cui Can glanced at him, and then looked at the surroundings. I can't figure out why Mark is here. "How did you get here?"
"Huh? The ......" Obviously, Mark didn't know how to answer this question. But thinking that only himself and Cui Can were left at this time. He wasn't supposed to hide anything, so after a pause, he said, "I seem to hear the sound of someone falling into the water, so I followed the sound and found it." It's just that when I got here, the voice disappeared again, and I didn't have a flashlight. So I accidentally fell down. Fortunately, the rope is tied around the waist, otherwise you won't see me when you come back. ”
Come to think of it, that's true. Cui Can had to admit that this rope saved Mark. "You can rest here and have something to eat." As he spoke, Cui Can took out a strip of chocolate from his backpack. It was handed to Mark, who was already sitting up.
looked at the chocolate in Cui Can's hand. Mark swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hungry, but he also knew that this was not the time to eat as he pleased. "Have you eaten?"
Cui Can had just eaten a boxed lunch in his space on the way, so he wasn't hungry. "After eating, you can eat, and if you have the strength, you can continue walking."
Cui Can put the chocolate in Mark's hand, and took a flashlight to carefully inspect the not high cave. It was much wetter than the cave they had just been, and water droplets could be seen on the cliff face. I guess it's because of the water. The cave is not very big, and when you get to that pit, you will end there. And this deep pit is obviously naturally formed. If you listen closely, although the sound of the water is not loud, you can also hear the sound of flowing, so there must be an exit here. It seems that this may be the key to their exit.
Seeing that Mark finished eating the chocolate in his hand, Cui Can tightly wound the rope around his waist again and looked at Mark. "I'll go down and see, you're up there, and if you can find a way down there, I'll call you again."
"Cui Can, is it okay?" Mark also wants to go out, although he is not young, but he will still be afraid of death, not to mention that he still has a lot of things to do, how can he leave his life here? So he was very much in favor of Cui Can's proposal, but he was a little worried when he thought that he was the only one left here.
"No problem, if there is no way out, I will come back soon." Cui Can nodded affirmatively again and took out another piece of chocolate from his backpack. "It's not going to be long, if you're scared or hungry, eat this. Don't worry, we'll be fine. Even the others will be fine, just separate from us, so don't worry. ”
Looking at Cui Can's immature little face for himself, Mark felt very reassured. In the past, he only admired Cui Can, but this archaeological operation gave him a deeper understanding of Cui Can. These realizations made him firmly believe in any decision made by Cui Can, so at this time, he didn't have any doubts, took the chocolate and put it in the pocket of his clothes. Then, like Cui Can, wrap the rope around your waist tightly.
Cui Can looked at him quite calmly, and handed him his flashlight. "You take this, I'll shake the rope underneath in a while, and you'll pull me up."
"Hmm." Mark took the flashlight and nodded.
Cui Can glanced around again, "There is no place to tie a rope here, so it can only be wrapped around your waist, if I come back in a while, you don't have the strength, just go back, so I can also come up." ”
Cui Can said a word, Mark nodded, at this moment it was as if the identities of the two people had fallen off, and Cui Can had become the elder. Cui Can also found his ink, quickly put an end to these meaningless words, left his backpack to Mark, and jumped into the deep pit in front of him. Then Mark heard a voice of "Ordinary!" Cui Can must have jumped into the water, right?
Chen Jiu has been working for a few days, but he always feels that he lacks motivation in his heart. Cui Can hadn't contacted him for more than a month, and although he was very confident in Cui Can's ability, he was still very worried that there had been no news for so long. At this time, it was inconvenient to work, if he didn't work in the government department, would he be able to go to Cui Can? You can even work with Cui Can. Thinking about it this way, he regretted that he didn't choose the right time to go to work.
"Section Chief Chen, it's already off work, do you want to go have a drink with us?" A female colleague walked up to Chen Jiu's desk, looked at Chen Jiu's handsome face with obsessive eyes, and the words that came out of her mouth were also a warm invitation.
It's a pity that Chen Jiu didn't want to be so close to them, and shook his head lightly. "No, I wish you all a good time."
The female colleague was obviously disappointed, but the reserved nature was still there, and she still remembered each other's identities. "Then let's go together next time we have a chance, let's go first."
Chen Jiu watched his colleagues in the office leave one after another, he also packed up his things, and stood up with his briefcase.
Because of the care of Old Man Chen, coupled with Chen Jiu's education and ability, he sat in the position of section chief as soon as he went to work. Although this is already airborne in the eyes of others, this position is really small for him. In order to meet his grandfather's request, he could only stay here. Fortunately, these colleagues didn't know his identity, otherwise he would really have a headache with these interpersonal relationships.
In order to match his identity at this time, he even drove the most ordinary car. The clothes he usually wears to work are some popular brands, although it is only a little more than a week, but he has gradually adapted to this kind of life. I hope that Cui Can will come back and recognize himself like this. Thinking about it like this, Chen Jiu's mood was a little excited, and he seemed to be looking forward to Cui Can seeing such an ordinary self.
Thinking of Cui Can, his troubles also rose in his heart. Their wedding has been scheduled for the summer of the following year, and preparations have begun at both families, but as a bride, she has lost news. I don't know if she will have time to prepare her own wedding dress and supplies when she comes back?
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't bump into you, did I?" Just when Chen Jiu was wandering outside the world, suddenly a fragrant body bumped into his body. Even if he was alert and dodged away, the other party still got the opportunity to talk to him.
Frowning, looking at the woman in front of him who was not a stranger to him, his good mood disappeared.
The woman raised her head delicately, and pretended to be surprised to grow her mouth. "Mr. Chen? How did you end up here? I didn't bump into you just now, did I? ”
Chen Jiu's brows furrowed, and he glanced at the female star coldly, then bypassed her and walked towards his car. This is the unit's underground parking lot, supposedly this woman shouldn't be here, how did she get in? Also appeared in the on-site parking lot? (To be continued......)
