"They're so fast!" I sighed.

The original plan was to wait for all four of us to arrive and then select the site to dig the ground. But I didn't expect that Brother Mingshan and I had just come down, and they had already dug such a big hole.

"Be careful!" Brother Mingshan stood in front of me, his expression becoming vigilant for a moment.

"Brother Mingshan, what's wrong?"

I was a little puzzled, since they came down first, there was nothing wrong with digging early.

"This pit doesn't look like it's been dug freshly. ”

"Huh?"

We cautiously approached the pit and bent down to take a look. I saw that it was pitch black inside, like a black hole, devouring the quicksand outside the pit.

Moreover, the surrounding rocks are almost polished by the sand grains and are very smooth, and it really does not look like they have been dug up freshly.

"Mingliang!

Brother Mingshan squatted on the edge of the pit and shouted twice. But after a long time, no response came.

The two of us looked at each other, and we felt bad in our hearts.

Aren't the two of them in this pit?

I looked around, and there was not a single figure in the barren desert except for the slightly rising smoke and dust.

If they are not in that pit, where can they be?

"Brother Mingshan, I look at this deep pit, and it is also on the extension line of that tunnel. They...... Will it go down first?. ”

"No, although Mingliang is playful, he is still very cautious in doing things. Not to mention Qing Yan, he would definitely not be so reckless. ”

"Then how did they disappear......? They accidentally fell?"

Brother Mingshan stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of quicksand. Countless grains of sand slipped from the fingers of his hands, fell to the ground, and once again merged into the current, pouring into the deep pit.

"Joan, what you said, it's possible. ”

Both of us had to take two steps back, just in case we slipped and fell into the pit.

Suddenly, the vast desert fell into a terrifying silence. Neither of us took the initiative to speak, but just looked at the raging quicksand and froze for a while.

At this moment, there was a strange noise in the pit. We immediately pricked up our ears in alarm, turned our heads to the mouth of the pit, and listened carefully.

After an unintelligible murmur, two shouts were heard, breaking the silence. Our nervous hearts were suddenly relieved of half of the pressure.

"Brother, brother!" was Mingliang's voice.

"Mingliang, is that you?" said Brother Mingshan as he lay at the mouth of the pit and shouted in the loudest voice.

Perhaps the pit was too deep, and the sound came and went, and it was extremely slow. After a long while, Mingliang's voice came again.

"Brother, it's me!you!" Mingliang's voice disappeared again.

Brother Mingshan clenched his fists, and his eyes looked at the pitch-black pit with great concern. After waiting for a while, there was still no sound coming from inside, so he shouted again.

"Mingliang!What's wrong?!"

But when he shouted like this, Mingliang's voice just came again. The voices of the two people suddenly collided together, stirred up, and nothing could be heard clearly.

"Joan, what did he say?" Brother Mingshan turned around and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't hear it either. I shook my head helplessly and spread my hands.

Brother Mingshan let out a long sigh, and had to shout at the mouth of the pit again.

"Mingliang! What are you talking about, I can't hear you clearly!"

This sound went on, and a long time passed, and there was neither a response nor a Ren inside

What a noise. It's as if Mingliang has never been in it, so quiet that we inevitably have some bad imaginations.

"Brother Mingshan, will they ......?"

"No!" he replied resolutely. "I saw that the walls of the pit were smooth and there was quicksand as a buffer, and they would be fine. ”

"Then let's go down quickly. ”

Brother Mingshan knelt on the edge of the pit, his brows gradually furrowed, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He subconsciously touched his waist, where there should have been a tablet. But at this time, there was only a clean belt there.

In order to prevent detection by lazy detection devices, we don't have any intelligent mechanical equipment on us, except for this anti-detection stealth device.

According to the previous style of their Armament Department, before they acted, they had to use various machinery to probe, calculate, and analyze in advance. Once the results are in place and a route with the lowest risk factor has been identified, you can prepare for action.

However, we now only have a small paper book that records the route and direction of this operation, and we have no intelligent equipment.

Even when digging a hole, we only prepared a small ray device, which is not a smart machine.

"Joan, it seems that there is only one way for us now. He said earnestly.

"You want to ...... Slide down?"

He lifted his brow and looked at me in amazement, probably unexpectedly, but I guessed his thoughts at once.

I saw him slowly stand up, patted the dust on his body, and half-squatted down with his feet next to the edge of the pit. He turned around, beckoned to me, and motioned for me to stand beside him.

It seems that he is inviting me to jump down with him.

"Why? Fooled me once, and you want to fool me a second time. I said in a dismissive tone.

"Haha, I won't lie to you this time, I will never lie to you. ”

"If you still run away this time, I will never let you go. ”

Both of us were half-crouched on the edge of the pit, our hands clinging to our thighs. Brother Mingshan lowered his head, looked at the pitch-black pit, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's hope we don't die or get hurt. ”

"Phew, don't talk about those bad things. ”

"Haha, then I won't talk about it! Come on, prepare! Three!"

I leaned my upper body forward, lifted my heels slightly, and made a position ready to jump. My body is like a taut spring, and as soon as he says a word, I will bounce up immediately.

Although my body is ready to go, I still have reservations in my heart, whether he will lie to me again.

- Will you push me down when you don't shout one?

Thinking of this, I put my heels down anyway. This time, I had to see him jump before I could jump.

"Two!" shouted Brother Mingshan.

I jerked my head back, and saw him with his hands on his thighs, his eyes fixed on the pit. His body was just as poised and his mood was just as worried

"One! Jump!"

I saw that his feet quickly kicked up, and his upper body suddenly bounced up.

I was shocked, is he really going to jump?

His body did bounce upwards, but his feet were just a feint and didn't leave the ground.

I looked at him dumbfounded, cursed in my heart, and almost cheated by him again.

“...... It's embarrassing...... Hahaha......" He smiled awkwardly, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

"Brother Mingshan, your tricks are too clever. I squinted at him in disgust and almost rolled his eyes.

"Haha, it looks like I still have to practice. ”

With that, he jumped up and plunged into the pit

。 In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing him jump like this, my heart was even more surprised that this big brother Mingshan really likes to be unexpected!

Suddenly there was no one around, and in the barren desert, loneliness immediately eroded my body and mind.

"Qiu Qiong, you have to jump now. I told myself.

I bent my knees slightly, then swung my hands forward, and the whole body bounced up with inertia and jumped into the deep pit.

Soon, my eyes went black. At first, I thought it was my own eye problem.

But when I looked down and saw the faint light emitted by the device on my body, I realized that this was the darkness of the abyss, the darkness that consumed everything.

The speed of the fall became faster and faster, and the strong centrifugal sensation gradually withdrew from my thoughts, and my whole body was occupied by a numbness.

I can't count how long it has been gone. The rustling sound in my ears seemed to last for a long time, and it seemed to happen only for a moment.

Suddenly, a beam of light hit me in the face. I opened my eyes in a trance, only to see Brother Mingshan, Mingliang and Mo Qingyan all surrounding me, they all stared at me with wide eyes and looked at me in amazement.

And when I looked around, I realized that I had come to the very bottom of the pit. It was darker than before, except for the light of the flashlight flickering.

I instinctively tried to lift my legs, but then I realized that the lower half of my body was stuck in the sand. Each grain of sand is light, but when piled up, it becomes extremely heavy.

I had to put my hands on the sand and try to push myself out. But after all, this sand is loose sand, and I only exerted a slight force, and my hands actually buried more than half of it.

The three of them looked at me in such an embarrassed way, and they all covered their mouths and snickered.

"Get me out of here!"

"Okay!" said Akira.

"No problem!" Brother Mingshan nodded and said.

The two brothers each held me by one arm, and with very little effort, pulled me out of the sand.

My entire thigh was covered in sand, and with every step I took, I could kick up a puff of dust. So, I had to follow them forward while patting the sand on my body.

"Where is this? Why does it look like a tunnel?"

I took a flashlight and looked left and right and found that the environment here really looks like a tunnel. But the workmanship of this tunnel is very simple, some places are narrow enough to barely pass a person, and some places are so short that you have to lie down and climb over.

"I just wanted to say this!" Ming Liang grabbed the words, "According to what Brother Ali said, isn't that tunnel only half dug up?"

"yes, that's what he said. I replied.

"But we're on the other half of the tunnel right now!"

"What do you mean?"

"In other words, I don't know who dug up the other half of the tunnel. It's just that...... Dig a little casually. ”

Several of us looked at each other, quickly took out the small notebook, and repeatedly confirmed the location of the deep pit. After such a comparison, we were all stunned.

The tunnel under this deep pit is really on the extension line to the tunnel to the west of the town.

"Could it be that the other half of the tunnel has already been dug up?" asked Mo Qingyan suspiciously.

"Not really. Ming Liang shook his head, and then the flashlight shone forward, "You see, the tunnels over there are perfect. ”

We looked in the direction of the light, and we saw that on the other side of the dividing line, the height was the same from beginning to end, and the surrounding rock walls were smoothed and not a single edge.

Not only that, but it looks old and dusty. On our side, there is not only not a trace of dust under the soles of our feet, but also a trace of water.
