Chapter 214: Searching for Traces

In fact, the current sinkhole has completely changed, there are green wine leaves growing everywhere around, and there are tall trees and vines on the cliff in the distance, the branches and leaves of the trees cover the sky and the sun, and the branches of the vines have also hung down from the heights, covering the stone cliff wall protruding from the sinkhole; From a distance, it looks like a series of green waterfalls.

Chen Ming also built a courtyard house more than 200 meters away from the refining equipment, and the layout of the whole courtyard is a miniature version of the courtyard on the mid-mountain platform; At first, Yunyi just asked Chen Ming to build a temporary residence here, but he didn't expect that he would copy the courtyard house on the platform in the middle of the mountain.

This made Yun Yi very happy, living here is the same as living on the mid-level platform, even the furnishings of the bedroom and study are exactly the same.

The auxiliary device was slowly absorbing the energy released by the energy crystal, and Yun Yi let the two machine people stare there, and returned to this miniature version of the courtyard with Chen Ming.

Back in the courtyard, Yun Yi sat in a rocking chair and drank tea, but Chen Ming began to gather Yun Yi's dinner.

Yunyi was drinking tea while playing the boredom of waiting, and time passed in a hurry; When Chen Ming was busy with dinner, he went out halfway, and when he came back, he had a fat hare and two big bamboo rats.

Seeing this thing, Yun Yi was stunned for a while, and he was puzzled.

"I didn't see Chen Ming out of the sinkhole! And where did the hares and bamboo rats in his hands come from? I've never seen any of these things in a sinkhole before! ”

"Chen Ming, where did the hare and bamboo rat come from?" Yun Yi asked suspiciously.

"Hehehe! Boss! This is caught over there! Chen Ming said and pointed to the west of the sinkhole.

"How can there be such a thing here?"

Seeing that Chen Ming was caught in a sinkhole. The doubts in Yun Yi's heart became even heavier.

"Before the tunnel in and out of the sinkhole, this should be a completely enclosed space. With such a high cliff all around, where did these hares and bamboo rats come from? ”

Thinking of this, Yun Yi couldn't help but look up at the high cliffs around him; Suddenly, a bad premonition flashed in his mind, and he suddenly got up and asked eagerly: "Chen Ming, let me ask you, have you sent someone to carefully investigate the surroundings of this sinkhole?" ”

Yunyi's stern tone frightened Chen Ming at once, and Chen Ming was stunned on the spot. Only then did he hurriedly say: "The entire sinkhole, when I first came in, I had already checked it all in a carpet way, and there was no problem!" ”

Chen Ming's answer was very affirmative, he said that there would be no fakes after checking it, and when he heard Chen Ming say this, Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then did you bring these hares and bamboo rats in to raise?" ”

As he spoke, Yun Yi pointed to the hare and bamboo rat that Zi Chen Ming was holding in his hand.

Seeing Yunyi pointing to the thing in his hand. Chen Ming shook his head and said, "No, we didn't bring it in to raise it, we just caught it here." ”

"What?" Yun Yicai's worries were raised again, and he pointed to the towering cliffs around him and asked, "Look around, can this thing come in from such a high place?" ”

Yun Yi's words reminded Chen Ming at once, look at the cliffs around him, and then look at the hare and bamboo rat in his hand. At this moment, Chen Ming realized that something was wrong.

If there are birds in the sinkhole on the cliffs on all sides, then it is reasonable, but now it is a beast, then this problem is strict; Since it is not raised by these people themselves, it means that there is a passage to the outside world. If it's an ordinary place, it's not a big deal. But here is a hidden secret that kills people, and a bad one may cause a big mess.

"Hurry up and hurry up the manpower, we will personally lead the team to check again!" Yun Yi immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Chen Ming threw away the things in his hand and took out the control board he carried with him to operate.

In less than three minutes, more than 20 people working in the sinkhole arrived, and even the three people who were operating the refining equipment stopped the refining equipment, and when they saw that the people arrived, Yunyi didn't speak, and took the lead and walked to the west of the sinkhole.

Seeing Yun Yi's stern face, Chen Ming hurriedly led someone to follow.

The hares and bamboo rats he had caught earlier had appeared in the western part of the sinkhole, and more than twenty people were scattered and searched carefully.

The farther west, the more traces there were on the ground, footprints, droppings, and gnawed plant leaves and rhizomes; Yun Yi looked up into the distance, where there were still smooth cliffs, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Dozens of people searched forward in a semi-arc formation, during which there were also many traces of hares and bamboo rats, and continued to search forward, the more traces of beasts on the ground, but this way of searching, except for the traces of small animals, there were no other traces of slightly larger animals; This moment made Yun Yi wonder.

"If there was a passage to the outside world, it wouldn't just leave traces of small animals like hares, right? Could it be that these small animals were brought back from birds and raised in captivity? But there are no big birds around! Yun Yi shook his head and quickly threw out the nonsense in his mind.

Looking for it along the traces on the ground, it saw that there was a towering cliff more than ten meters away, and I didn't see anything unusual, and when I arrived here, Yunyi no longer looked at the ground, and went straight to the cliff in the distance.

Chen Ming also led people to follow quickly, and arrived at the bottom of the cliff, Yun Yi and Chen Ming each led a team of people, and continued to search for the north and south sides along the bottom of the cliff at two ends; If you can't find the source of these hares and bamboo rats, I believe Yunyi won't be able to sleep well.

Yun Yi confessed to the people behind him, he couldn't let go of a trace, and searched carefully, and the scope was not limited to the ground, but also included the cliffs at high places, as well as places hidden by vines; I thought that when I and Chen Ming explored the river valley before, it was the cracks that appeared behind the vines in and out of the valley where the wine leaves grass were planted; Therefore, this time, I mainly focused on the back of the vines that fell from the cliff face.

Just when Yunyi was immersed in searching, Chen Ming, who was searching to the north, suddenly shouted: "Boss! Got it! Found a place! ”

Hearing Chen Ming's shout, Yun Yi hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Chen Ming constantly waving to him, then he turned around and said to the few people behind him: "You continue to search, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

After arranging, Yun Yi ran in the direction of Chen Ming.

Coming closer, the place in front of him made Yun Yi stunned for a while, this is the bottom of the cliff, there is a place where the depression is inward, the area of the depression is not large, it is estimated to be about a meter wide, and the outside is completely covered by the vines hanging down from the cliff.

The ground near this sunken cliff face was full of dense footprints of small animals, and there was a lot of feces around, and the smell of the wind hit the nose when it blew.

At this time, the vines covering the depression have been torn off by Chen Ming, and there is a hole of thirty or forty centimeters near the ground, lying on the ground and looking in, this hole has shrunk a lot about a meter or so, and it seems that it can only allow small animals such as hares to drill in and out, and further there is a pitch black, nothing can be seen, it seems that the distance of this small hole should not be short.

If you look around this little hole, it's really hard to find if you don't search carefully.

After seeing this small hole, Yun Yi's previous anxiety was slightly put down, and he got up and asked, "Chen Ming, have you sent someone over there to have a look?" As he spoke, Yun Yi pointed to the hole where the hare had entered and exited.

"No, boss!" Chen Ming lowered his head and said.

Looking at Chen Ming's appearance, Yun Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "In this way, send two people over to see the situation; The others continued to search around the cliff to see if there was still such a situation. ”

"Boss, let them search here, I'll go over and check the situation myself!" Chen Ming raised his head and said.

Yun Yi thought for a moment and then responded: "Okay! Be sure to check it out this time! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chen Ming responded, and took a machine to climb along the cliff wall quickly.

A few minutes later, Chen Ming and a machine disappeared as far as the eye could see, and then Yun Yi asked the rest of the people to continue to search again, but he walked back, back to the small courtyard, looking at the hare and bamboo rat that Chen Ming threw on the ground, Yun Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, it seems that this cheap dinner can't be enjoyed, and he has to do it himself.
