Chapter 3: The Underworld (Collect)

It was a young man with glasses, with a mid-parted head, and a suit that spoke.

He paused as he spoke, gasping for air.

Beside him, the middle-aged woman with short hair carrying a plastic bag and the obese man with a briefcase stopped.

They can't run anymore.

The fat man was pale, sweaty, and so tired that he sat down on the ground.

Hearing this sound, the people who were running around in panic stopped one after another.

The fast runners in front of them were also busy walking back, and the crowd was gathered together again.

Although they fled out of fear just now, the human instinct to drive away the good and avoid the bad made them all habitually flee in the same direction.

There was no desperate running around, which kept everyone from running away.

Xiao Han sat down on the spot, his physical strength was good, although he was panting, he was better than being young.

It's not like the fat middle-aged man with a briefcase who looks like he's about to die.

"What now? If all this is fake, it is too fake. ”

The obese middle-aged man said with a sad face while falling to the ground gasping for breath.

They had almost believed the little old man when he said it was all "ghost against the wall".

But the next moment, the little old man was devoured alive by the python in front of them.

The real bloody scene doesn't look like a "ghost hitting the wall" no matter how you look at it.

The legendary "ghost hitting the wall" will just trap everyone and make them circle around the same place, but they can't get out.

But it is unlikely that a python will swallow a living person.

"It's all true...... It's all true, we were literally taken to another world by that damn elevator. ”

The schoolgirl with the schoolbag on her back muttered a word in her mouth.

"It's just that it's horrible here...... It's completely different from what I imagined, I want to go home, I want to go home. ”

There was a cry in her voice, and she was so scared that she was about to cry.

"Calm down, everybody." The young man with glasses was quite calm.

Perhaps it was his composure that infected everyone.

Many people looked at him, expecting him to say something good.

Xiao Han sat and rested, while looking at his mobile phone, there was still no information, and he couldn't make any calls.

"I don't think we can come here for no reason, since we can come, we can naturally leave, and the important thing now is not to panic."

The young man groaned and said, "I think the elevator is out of order and we are missing, or it won't be long before someone finds out and calls the police, and I think the police should be looking for us with all their might now." ”

"Everyone is calm, maybe soon the police will come and find us."

The young man's words suddenly ignited hope in the hearts of several people.

"Yes, my wife can't contact me, she must be very anxious, she will definitely call the police, maybe the police will find us soon."

In the crowd, the fat middle-aged man with a briefcase and a fat face screamed.

Xiao Han saw that this young man had appeased everyone with a few words, and he was a little admired in his heart.

Although he thought in his heart that the police probably couldn't find them.

The schoolgirl with the schoolbag said with a crying voice: "Don't be delusional, we were taken to another world by the elevator, how can the police find us?" ”

This sentence immediately caused another wave of panic.

The young man's brows furrowed, but he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation to appease the crowd for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Han, who was sitting on the ground, stood up and looked at the female student, he understood that the most important thing now was to appease everyone's emotions.

The schoolgirl's words caused panic among the crowd and were bad for everyone, and what they needed now was unity.

opened his mouth and said: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we didn't cross over, don't believe what is written in those novels, this is reality after all, not fiction." ”

After a pause, he raised his head and continued: "I estimate that the biggest possibility is that there is a huge underground space under the ground of our riverside community, and this underground space has become an ecosystem of its own, forming an underground world that we can see in front of us. ”

"It's just that this underground world has not been discovered all along, and the stratum below Building B where we are should have been loosened long ago, and after our elevator failed, we fell from a high altitude, and the huge impact force just crashed into this already extremely weak stratum, allowing us to fall into this underground world."

"In this way, with a little investigation, the police will soon be able to discover this world that is hidden underground, and it will not be difficult to find us."

"The underworld? Then how can there be a sky, there will be that cloud? The schoolgirl pointed to the sky, still not convinced.

Xiao Han said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, this is a special scientific phenomenon, when the space is large enough to form a complete ecosystem and biological chain at a certain level, the water vapor in the air will rise and form clouds above. ”

"Because it's underground, we can't see the sun, and because it's so far away that it's beyond the limits of our vision, we look like a dark red sky above. Actually, those dark red should be a kind of soil, and what we think of as the sky is actually the earth. ”

Xiao Han looked at everyone and talked eloquently.

The young man pushed his glasses and looked at Xiao Han, revealing a look of admiration.

It's really thanks to Xiao Han that he was able to come up with this relatively reasonable explanation at this moment.

Everyone was convinced by his explanation, including the high school girl.

Although there are many inexplicable truths, the ostrich psychology makes people reluctant to think deeply about the irrationality, but prefer to believe it.

Because this explanation can make everyone feel a little less afraid and feel that there is still hope.

"This brother is right, so what we need to do now is to be calm and united, not panic and be blind." The young man spoke.

Xiao Han looked at the young man.

In fact, Xiao Han himself did not believe in the explanation of this so-called underground world.

Relatively speaking, he believed that the explanation that they had come to another world was more plausible.

Although how incredible or incomprehensible this possibility is.

But this is the only more plausible explanation.

The so-called theory of breaking through the stratum and entering the underground world was just made up by Xiao Han temporarily.

He needed to calm the crowd.

Only by arousing the desire of all people to survive and unite together can they hope to find a way to live here.

The scene of the turquoise python swallowing the short old man alive shocked Xiao Han.

He understands that the strange world in front of him is not safe.

The young man had similar thoughts to him.

He was also trying his best to appease everyone, so he showed a confident and calm look.
