Compared to the outside, in the damp cave, it is really unlikeable, not to mention these natives who don't know anything, even Wu Xiaoqing, when he tries to sleep in it at night, he still feels uncomfortable. Wu Xiaoqing, who has always had good sleep quality, began to have insomnia at night.

Forget about the cold and damp, wrap yourself in a little more clothes - they brought piles of cloth from the earth this time, and they can deal with it. But the droplets of water that drip from the stone wall or stalactites above your head at any time are quite disgusting.

Xu Yan said that the Americans tortured prisoners in prison by using this method -- covering people with glasses and then dripping water on their heads. In the end, the prisoner can be driven crazy by this droplet.

Although the water droplets in the cave are not going crazy, they are sure that everyone will be restless. Although everyone avoided the places where water would fall, just like the leaky house that Wu Xiaoqing lived in when he was a child, the water drops hit the floor one by one, which is still very unpleasant.

But there is no way to seal the water droplets, according to the search and rescue team, many water droplets are seeping down from the cracks in the rocks, a major feature of karst terrain, is that the rocks are seriously corroded, whether it is above their heads or under their feet, there may be large and small holes everywhere in the middle, and when it rains, the water will fill these holes, and then slowly drip down in normal times. If it is really blocked, it may be that the water will change the dripping location, but it is not as good as the current fixed dripping location.

After giving up falling asleep again, Wu Xiaoqing climbed out of his sleeping bag, put on his glasses, and with the help of the reminder of his glasses, he walked out of the cave.

The cave where Wu Xiaoqing is sleeping now is quite good, it was specially selected for the nobles to live in. The terrain in the cave is relatively gentle, and the exit is large, so even at night, you can feel some light outside. If you walk from the inside out, you can get out in a minute or two.

It turned out that the search and rescue team arranged to get up in the second half of the night to patrol the night, but since Wu Xiao was awake, he simply moved forward. Wu Xiaoqing found his horse at the door, patted it, and the horse turned its head slightly. Wu Xiaoqing untied the reins of it, turned over and got on the horse, and then set off.

The nearest cave to them was less than a kilometer away, a little down the hillside. The soldiers guarding at the gate were playing dice and gambling, and after seeing Wu Xiaoqing, they all subconsciously made way for him.

"How's it going inside?"

"A lot of people are crying......," the soldier said, and then he pulled out a large stack of plastic bowls from his hand - Lord Divine Messenger, they threw out to bribe us, but we didn't release a single one.

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the thick stack of plastic bowls and the hole that was fenced off, and suddenly realized that perhaps in the eyes of the people in the cave, his appearance as a "divine envoy" may have become a villain that they feared.

"Open the door."

"There are thousands of people inside, and it's hard for us to keep you safe." Guarding the entrance of this cave was only a small team of more than twenty people. In the dark caverns, they had no way to keep themselves safe.

"I can protect myself!" Wu Xiaoqing took out his pistol and ordered again, "Open the door." ”

Even with a gun, Wu Xiaoqing still felt scared after entering the cave. The entrance to the cave is narrow, and although there are some cold lights hanging in the cave, most of the place is still dark. Most of the caves were filled with men, and there was a snoring sound everywhere, and if you sniffed closely, you could smell the pungent smell of urine and urine inside. Although according to the regulations, toilets are dug inside - there are a lot of culverts in the cave, and there is enough underground space to drain some household garbage. Obviously, it was uneasy for the people in the cave to go deeper underground to defecate - everyone still believed that there were demons living underneath.

Most of them fell asleep, and some stayed awake. After seeing Wu Xiaoqing come in, these people woke up the sleeping people around them.

"It's an oracle."

"What is he doing here?"

"I don't know...... Isn't it time to start the sacrifice......

The eyes of the people around him began to become unfriendly, and behind Wu Xiaoqing, the passage that he walked in had been blocked. In Wu Xiaoqing's field of vision, there were only dense red outlines left around him, and almost all of these silhouettes were facing him. Many of them had their hands clenched into fists, and many even had small plastic forks for eating instant noodles in their hands, as if they were ready to rely on this thing to resist the demons.

The search and rescue team's scan was completed, and Wu Xiaoqing retreated from the crowd again. As he walked to the door and closed the fence gate, he could feel himself breathe a sigh of relief—and so did the red outlines inside.

The statistics are not particularly good, the density of people in this cave is a little too high, the oxygen content is low, and some of it needs to be diverted. Because of dampness and dense habitation, many people develop signs of skin diseases.

"Everyone needs to be given an antibiotic when they eat...... It can be put in the water they drink. ”

This reminded Wu Xiaoqing of the chicken farm in the village, when the chicken was prevented from getting sick, the boss of the chicken raised did this.

"You can release people appropriately during the day, but according to the number plate, take turns to release the wind, and go to see the women's camp, where the situation may be better."

Not really.

Women's camps are cleaner than men's, but the problem is just as serious – because the weak tend to have a greater fear of danger than the strong. In many women's camps, there were even many elderly people who, when they saw Wu Xiaoqing, offered to let themselves take responsibility as a sacrifice - no matter what the search and rescue team explained, they could never believe that it was for their good that the divine envoy locked everyone in the cave.

The last cave to be spot-checked was located in the outermost area, and the people living in it were also the people most affected by the camp incident. When Wu Xiaoqing was about to ask the soldiers outside to open the door, the officer in charge replied to him: "Lord Divine Messenger, they locked the door from the inside!" ”

Through his glasses, Wu Xiaoqing easily found that the "prisoners" in this cave had arranged many strong men at the gate - they had obviously regarded the Elis soldiers outside as enemies. Inside the cave, more than a dozen people are holding hammers and chisels that they got from nowhere, trying to carve out a passage through the cave.

Because the soldiers and the "prisoners" were completely isolated at this time, many of the disciplines that had been formed since the march, including eating and drinking, and distributing supplies, were no longer there, and the original normal management order between soldiers and ordinary people was disrupted, and now it became a confrontation between the jailers and the prisoners. The guards apparently did not know what the prisoners were going to do inside, and the search and rescue team sternly reprimanded their officers: "Why didn't you report it? How long has it been since the people inside have eaten? ”

"Two days...... But they all said they weren't hungry. "It seems that the officer has no idea what is going on. The order he received was only that no one should run out, and in that sense alone, he was dutiful. Large quantities of food had been brought into each cave for the prisoners to use for themselves, and since the prisoners said they were not hungry, he did not bother to send someone to help them get food.

The search and rescue team immediately contacted Wang Youquan, who was beside the king, and half an hour later, Wang Youquan arrived with hundreds of people.

"In the name of King Elis, the people inside listened, immediately opened the door, walked out one by one, and if they resisted, they would correct the law on the spot!"

"their Elise!" The people inside shot back, and then someone heckled, "Fuck the oracle!" ”

"We want to be free!"

"Free!"

"We're going home!"

"Go home!"

Freedom and Hometown ...... These reasons cannot be said to be legitimate, but unfortunately Wu Xiaoqing has no way to agree to it. He is now beginning to understand and sympathize with these people, if from another angle, a group of aliens come to the earth and trick all the earthlings into the mountains and locked up in caves like this, will he believe that these aliens are there to save mankind?

But I don't believe it, it doesn't matter at all at this time, and the whole rescue plan has reached this point, and it is impossible to make any changes because of these few people shouting a few voices.

The fragile wooden fence was easily torn apart, and the prisoners inside took the opportunity to stretch out their spears made of wood from it in an attempt to resist. Wang Youquan asked everyone to retreat, and then he opened the schoolbag he was carrying, and after opening it, he took out all the things in the schoolbag one by one.

Yes*, it was originally intended to be used in siege warfare, or when disrupting the opponent's formation in field battles, but unexpectedly, it was finally used on their own heads.

A dozen * threw it in one go, and the people inside immediately coughed and ran out of the cave. After getting out of the range of *, everyone can only lie on the ground and gasp, and there is no ability to resist at all.

When the mist cleared, everyone was tied with nylon rope in their right hands and pressed into it again. Wu Xiaoqing went in to check the situation in the cave, and he noticed that in order to resist a possible attack, the prisoners had also set traps inside, and prepared a lot of small stones, ready to be used to smash them. In the cave, some of the cold lights left for them to use for lighting have been smashed to shreds, as well as the improvised generator that was used to charge the batteries, all of which were smashed - only one lamp, which was used to dig tunnels.

The results of the interrogation of these people showed that they smashed these things because they thought they were demonic artifacts - they could emit light but no heat, which was simply a ghost fire that burned with the soul of a man! As for the generator, it needs to be shaken every day, and then the lights continue to be lit, and everyone has good reason to suspect that this thing works by sucking people's souls!

Although it has only been two days, they have already dug three or four meters away from the tunnel, on the one hand, because the rock formations here are very corroded by water and are easy to excavate, on the other hand, it can also be seen that these people are highly motivated to work - the desire to escape is very strong.
