Zhou Ji didn't speak, he only thought that Wang Yao was using the means of tricking the child to be a hero, so that Qiao Liang would cooperate obediently. At the same time, Qiao Liang, who was squatting on the ground, snorted, obviously feeling that the other party regarded him as an idiot, and his face immediately showed a look of disdain. But what Wang Yao said next greatly surprised the two people:

"Since you have dug this hole, I hope you can help us expand this hole several times."

When Zhou Ji heard this, he jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and Qiao Liang on the side also widened his eyes, and the two of them screamed and babbled nonsense together:

"What?!"

"Ah......?"

"What are you talking about, you're going to make this hole bigger, you're crazy!"

"There's a big hole down there... What to do if the ground shatters! ”

"Isn't it enough to have such a damn hole?! This can barely be blocked, and if you make it bigger, someone will really fall! ”

"No, no, I'm afraid..."

“......”

“......”

Wang Yao just frowned and endured the quarrel between the two, and only after a few minutes did Zhou Ji and Qiao Liang vent their emotions that he said coldly: "Have you all said enough?" Is it my turn to speak now? ”

Zhou Ji and the others had already made almost all the complaints they should have made at this time, and gradually calmed down. So they nodded, indicating that they could listen to Wang Yao's explanation quietly.

Wang Yao's expression softened a little, and he said, "I know you think it's a very irrational behavior for me to want to open this hole wider. I also know that you are afraid that widening this hole will cause a lot of trouble, such as people accidentally falling into it, or the earth's crust being shaken and shattering like ice on the water of a lake in winter, leading to the devastating destruction of the city. However, "

Wang Yao said this, taking a deep breath: "But if we can expand this hole a little, only the size of a manhole cover, we can transport more large instruments over, and there are robots that measure the depth and analyze the structure of the underlying space, maybe we can find out the cause of the huge cavity under K City." ”

"But, but, what's the point of knowing what's going on next?" Qiao Liang interrupted Wang Yao's words in a panic, and said eagerly: "You have time to do this kind of experiment, why don't you quickly find a way to evacuate all the citizens of K City to leave!" Still doing these dangerous things, my God, I don't want to bury you! I really don't understand, why don't you run away when you find out about this terrible thing..."

Qiao Liang was still muttering to himself, but Zhou Ji, who was standing next to him, was stunned. He is not stupid, nor is he as flustered as Qiao Liang, although he thought at first that Wang Yao's idea of expanding the abyss hole was almost ridiculous, and he also explained a strange remark that was not boundary, not only was it useless to save the lives and property of the citizens of K City, but also a bit like a mad scientist who was obsessed with research regardless of his life, which made people wonder if he was not mentally abnormal. And when a normal person learns that there is danger, he will definitely think about self-protection like Qiao Liang, and Zhou Ji also thinks so, so he tried his best to oppose Wang Yao's statement at the beginning.

It wasn't until Zhou Ji was puzzled and turned his head to meet Wang Yao's deep gaze unexpectedly that a terrible thought flashed through his mind at that moment, making him suddenly understand why Wang Yao made such a crazy request at this time. But it was this thought that made his legs weak, and he hurriedly held on to the wall around him so as not to fall.

He got it! He finally got it! Wang Yao, it was when he thought of that possibility that he didn't mention the matter of saving the lives of the citizens of K City, but told Qiao Liang to save mankind!

Wang Yao, he was actually suspicious of this insect-eaten hollow underground, so big, so unfathomable, so where is the end of its surroundings? Is it really the edge of K-City? No, it's likely that it's not just limited to this area of K, but covers a much larger area, and according to current measurements, it is very likely that the cave extends to the administration of the nearby provincial capital! Then, it's not just the people of K City who need to be saved!

Therefore, they must first measure the edge and depth of the cave before they can decide on the direction in which to arrange the evacuation of the citizens, otherwise blindly announcing the evacuation will not only fail to get people to a safe place, but may also cause more riots and deaths before the ground collapses! No matter where they flee to that place, there is no point in them, because they can't give people the scope to set foot on the ground with peace of mind, and they will flee far and fly high, leave this land, and those who can't escape will give up on themselves and destroy humanity, this kind of consequences that are more terrible than plague nuclear weapons, not only the loss of countless lives, but also the destruction of the country, this magnificent land that has been thousands of years old will completely become a hell on earth full of evil spirits without waiting for the underground cavity to collapse!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ji only felt that his body was hot and his throat was tight, and his whole person suddenly turned into a piece of plasticine, and he was about to collapse on the ground. He looked at Wang Yao with a pale face, only to see that the other party frowned slightly, nodded slightly, but slowly shook his head. It can be seen that Wang Yao also understands that Zhou Ji has already understood all his concerns at this time!

And the fear in Zhou Ji's heart had reached the limit of what he could bear, he gasped and hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Wang Yao to a remote corner that Qiao Liang couldn't see or hear, and said in a low voice:

"I... I see! But do you have any good ideas? I've already seen it, and the hole is too big, and if you measure it down, you might see some..."

Zhou Ji suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he said this, he almost told him about seeing the dead person Li Tang in the dark underground just now. You must know that his fear of this cave may be even greater than Qiao Liang's. Because in his heart, under that cave, there is a very likely hell.

But he didn't plan to say it before looking through the screenshots taken by the measuring instrument to find Li Tang's shadow, what if he was insane for a moment and mixed the things in his sleep with reality? He didn't want Wang Yao to think that he couldn't withstand the terrifying blow and was already crazy. So he changed his words and said:

“... I really don't think I'll be able to find out anything by widening the hole and adding detection instruments! ”

Wang Yao calmly listened to his words, stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Ji's slightly trembling shoulder and said:

"Zhou Ji, to be honest, I don't think that by expanding the hole, I can really measure any useful data."

Zhou Ji was a little inexplicable: "Then why are you..."

"Until we have a certainty of an outcome, no matter how small the hope, we have to try." Wang Yao said in a deep voice, "However, as long as the excavation work is enough for me to watch that little ghost, you should not participate." ”

Zhou Ji was stunned, "What did you say?" Then he was a little annoyed and said, "Wang Yao, do you look down on people too much?" I'm not mentally fragile enough to dig this cave! ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Wang Yao shook his head, "I mean, I was already planning to expand the cave before you came, and I know more than you do, so I must stay here to excavate the cave entrance." ”

"You mean, let me stay in the hotel by myself?" Zhou Ji was still full of anger.

"No, of course you're not going to be out of the ordinary." Wang Yao maintained a calm and steady tone, and said in a low voice: "I hope you will help me check Qiao Liang." ”
