Wu Lin was silent for a while, then picked up the flashlight again, flashed the light forward, and muttered to himself: "The direction should be right." ”

I swept forward, too, and as the beams passed over the edges of the holes, the bricks and dirt piled up outside the caves blocked the light like mounds, casting large shadows in the holes.

Wu Lin and I moved the flashlight together, two miserable white beams of light swayed in the darkness like a pendulum, and the damp mud bricks on the ground were occasionally swept by the light spots, immediately reflecting a greasy luster. Only those huge holes could not be illuminated by the light at all, like dark shadows, stuck to the ground.

The sight in front of me made me and Wu Lin frown, I don't know how Wu Lin felt at the time, but in my opinion, those black holes seemed to have an irresistible absorption, and once I got close to them, I would be sucked into them immediately.

After shaking the flashlight back and forth a few times, Wu Lin finally let the beam shine on the straight front, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and said to me: "You have to continue to walk in a straight line, looking at the appearance, we can only always wear this hole." ”

I scratched my temples with some irritation: "Can't you get around them." ”

Wu Lin shone a flashlight on the ground on both sides of the cave group, and smacked his lips: "In this space, there is a very fixed channel, and if we deviate slightly, we will be completely lost." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a bright silver nameplate from his pocket.

I looked at the iron sign in his hand, and there was a deliberate hint of doubt on my face.

Wu Lin didn't explain much, and the next moment he shook his arm vigorously and threw the OEM out.

He deliberately let the flashlight beam shine on the fast-moving iron plate, and at first I could still see the metallic luster emitted from it, but after the iron plate flew out of the area full of holes, the luster disappeared.

A few seconds passed, and I didn't hear the sound of the iron sign landing.

I frowned and stared at Wu Lin: "What's going on?" ”

Wu Lin smiled a little helplessly: "I only know that once the iron plate deviates from the course, it will disappear out of thin air, but I don't know why it disappeared." Really, in this place, a lot of times I know what's going to happen in the next moment, but I can't tell you why it's happening. ”

I looked in the direction where the iron plate flew out, and I still couldn't come back to my senses.

Wu Lin patted me on the shoulder from behind: "Okay, don't be foolish, hurry up and get down to business, let's go out when we're done, you invite me to drink." ”

I gave him a blank look: "Why did I invite you?" ”

"Who doesn't know that your family is rich." Wu Lin responded happily as he straightened the lights and took a step towards the cave group.

I said, "The matter of you shooting Su Yunbin is not over yet, go and turn yourself in first after you go out." He quickly followed.

As soon as we took a step, the two of us didn't have the heart to talk nonsense.

The humidity itself is very heavy here, and the ground was only wet before, but it was not slippery, and it was not difficult to walk, but now there are a lot of broken bricks and wet and soft mud on the ground, which makes the road extremely difficult to walk, especially those slippery and sticky mud, and it is easy to lose the center of gravity when you step on it.

Wu Lin and I almost let the light shine under our feet, and we were extra careful with every step, and from time to time there would be wind blowing out of those bottomless holes, although the wind was not strong, but the wind was as cold as ice picks, sweeping on the neck, which could make people's hearts chill.

After walking for about half a while, Wu Lin and I seemed to have discussed it, and at the same time stopped, raised our hand and let the beam shine forward.

Twenty meters ahead, a complete road surface had appeared, and we were almost out of the area where the caves were located.

Click-click-la-clad –

As soon as I saw what was ahead, there was a long series of rapid crumbling sounds in the hole near my feet.

My first reaction was: Something is going to come out!

As soon as the sound appeared, I immediately hit the hole at my left foot, and I saw that the gravel and dirt that had been piled up on the edge of the hole were collapsing little by little, sliding into the bottomless hole.

At this time, the crushing sound is the sound of bricks and soil rubbing against the cave wall when they roll down.

I breathed a long sigh of relief as I watched the broken bricks and mud fall rapidly in the beams of light and finally disappear into the darkness at the bottom of the cave.

At this time, Wu Lin waved his hand vigorously at me on the side, as if to signal me not to move.

A few seconds ago, his back was straight, but now his knees were slightly bent and his upper body was leaning forward.

In the past, when I followed the special training of the second master, I often posed in such a posture when pulling heavy objects, and the second master said that this posture can reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine and stabilize the center of gravity.

At the same time, he kept raising his hand in this direction, repeatedly signaling me not to move.

Because Wu Lin was facing away from me at the time, I couldn't see his expression, but I could generally feel that he seemed to be very nervous now.

Click-la-la-la-

There was an even more rapid crushing sound from the hole at my feet, and as soon as Wu Lin heard the movement, he immediately squatted on the ground.

I also followed his example and quickly crouched down, holding the lamp in one hand and supporting the ground with the other.

After a few breaths, the sound of falling bricks could be heard in the surrounding holes, and the sound became more and more rapid and louder.

For a moment, I suddenly felt the ground shake, and Wu Lin immediately shouted: "Lie down!" ”

I didn't dare to delay, and crawled to the ground as fast as I could, and at the same time, the ground began to sway rapidly at an extremely high frequency.

My whole chest and abdomen were pressed against the ground, and the sharp bricks were digging into my flesh like crazy with the frequency of the ground shaking, but I could only lie on the ground, but if I didn't stick to the ground enough, I could fall into a nearby hole at any moment.

As time went by, the amplitude became louder and louder, and I felt like some of the broken bricks had torn through my clothes and skin and burrowed into my abdominal muscles.

This process lasted for half an hour, after which the amplitude began to weaken at a very rapid rate, and even the frequency of the oscillation suddenly became very low.

Wu Lin's shout suddenly came from the front: "Hurry up!" ”

When I looked up, I saw that he was already on one elbow and was crawling quickly forward.

The pain in my abdomen was so strong that I couldn't stop shaking, but at that time, I was worried that if Wu Lin was too far away from me, he would suddenly disappear like an iron medal flying out, so I gritted my teeth and struggled to keep up with his speed.

The amplitude continued to decrease, and after climbing seven or eight meters, the swaying sensation on the ground disappeared completely, but Wu Lin still had no intention of standing up.

I gritted my teeth and crawled, slowly shortening the distance between me and Wu Lin.

When he was about to catch up with him, the ground shook violently without warning.

Just now, in order to speed up, I used my elbows and knees to support the ground at the same time, at this time the ground shook violently, I couldn't stabilize myself at all, my body was crooked, and I fell to the ground with a "clang", and then the ground shook again, I slid out more than a meter directly, and fell into a hole in the ground upside down.

Thanks to my quick reflexes, I split my legs and spread my arms the moment I fell into the hole, pressing my elbows tightly against the slippery wall of the hole, while jamming my thighs into the half-meter-wide hole.

The ground was still shaking violently, and my elbows rubbed against the cave wall repeatedly, and soon a layer of skin was worn off, and a faint smell of blood diffused in the cave.

This earthquake lasted longer than the last one, but the last time it was felt slowly and intensified over a long period of time, and this time the earthquake did appear suddenly and caught me off guard.

It came suddenly, and disappeared without warning.

It felt like a speeding car suddenly stopped in place, and the huge inertia was enough to make the occupants of the car crash through the glass and fly out.

I didn't fly out, but the internal organs that had just adapted to the shock suddenly turned into a static state, and I still felt a strong discomfort.

I wanted to throw up, but I couldn't have anything in my stomach, so I could only retch into the darkness below, when I felt someone grab my belt, and then my abdomen tightened, and the whole person quickly "floated" out of the hole as if weightless.

After Wu Lin pulled me out of the cave, he quickly shouted, "Run!" ”

With that, he threw his legs and lunged towards the edge of the cave, and this time he didn't crawl on the ground, but ran upright.

As soon as I saw him roaring, I knew that time was pressing, so I didn't think about the pain on my body, and I ran wildly.

From beginning to end, Wu Lin and I didn't dare to turn off the flashlight for a moment, even when most of my body fell into the hole, the flashlight was held in my hands.

As we ran, the flashlight beam shook rapidly with the frequency of our gasps, and seeing that Wu Lin's front heel had crossed the last hole, the ground trembled again.

This time I trembled very quickly, I expected that I could not stabilize my center of gravity, and my right foot had just landed, so I simply used one leg to exert force and jumped forward with all my might.

At that time, Wu Lin also lost his center of gravity, he tilted his head backwards, and I jumped towards him.

In that situation, Wu Lin and I couldn't avoid it, and with a muffled "bang", my knee hit his back hard.

He was light, and I had a lot of strength, so it was no surprise that his body slammed into the air, and then flew out, and I continued to fly forward two or three feet before I fell to the ground with the back of my head down.

Wu Lin landed two seconds before me, and he got up immediately after he landed, and as soon as the back of my head came into close contact with the ground, he grabbed my ankle and struggled to drag me out three or four meters.

After that, Wu Lin lay on the ground and looked up at the place we had just walked through.

I rubbed the back of my head, which had become numb, and looked over to the caves.

In the place where we are, we can still feel a very high frequency of tremors, but this kind of tremor is just a simple tremor, unlike the caves, where the ground is not shaking, but constantly shaking from side to side.
