Chapter 30: The Collapsed Tower
With that, the girl was the first to rush over.
I was also in a hurry, worried that something would happen to them in Dadong, so I hurriedly ran in the direction of Jiaxiu Building.
It was dark and the road was slippery, and I couldn't see the situation in the garden clearly, so I could only find my way in the darkness by the light of the burning rod and the little sense of direction that still had it.
Bypassing the bamboo forest and rockery, and passing through a corridor, it didn't take long to see the huge ruins of Jiaxiu Building.
As soon as I got closer, the thick smoke and dust came to my face, I covered my mouth and nose, and when I shone with the light, I saw horizontal logs and stone pillars lying horizontally and vertically, green bricks and tiles scattered all over the ground, and collapsed walls on top of each other. A magnificent high-rise building is now only left with broken walls, and from a distance, it looks like a huge mountain of garbage from those construction sites, which is shocking.
I followed the girl, step by step, to the top of this mountain-like ruin. Because we were worried that some places in the ruins were empty, and that stepping on them rashly would cause a secondary collapse, and it was dusty and our vision was extremely poor, we took every step very carefully.
"Brother Dadong-!"
As soon as she climbed up the ruins, the girl couldn't help it and shouted loudly. But I shouted more than a dozen times in a row, but I never heard any response.
I'm worried, and I said that Dadong wouldn't be buried alive, right? But think about it and think it shouldn't be, not to mention how Dadong's skills can be improvised, first of all-the wall of this Jiaxiu Building is like paper paste, and the gaps between the bricks are very large, if they are really pressed underneath, they won't be able to hear a little sound, right? But why is there no response?
I looked up and saw that the white birds of the Xuanyuan people had been hovering in the night overhead, chirping, refusing to leave, such a scene made the ominous premonition in my heart even stronger.
After groping forward on the ruins for a while, I suddenly heard the girl shout, "Come here!" There's a situation here! ”
The group immediately ran over from all directions, stood beside the girl, and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that in the middle of the ruins, there was a huge circular hole, and countless ruins and gravel were still falling into the hole at the edge of the hole. In the darkness, this deep hole did not show any light, like a terrifying deep well, exuding a ghostly scent, and an indescribable stench wafted from the cave.
"This ...... Isn't that ......" I pointed to the entrance of the cave, speechless.
I know that this is where we will have so much trouble fleeing. Countless tricks and tricky traps are gathered here - Jing Lianhong's underground cave!
The building collapsed, and it was so exposed, and I could even see the spiral staircase that was said to spew strong acid to kill people.
"Isn't it possible, they're still down there?" I looked at the crowd and suddenly it seemed like a possibility.
"Brother Dadong-!" The girl shouted at the top of her voice, "Did you hear? If you hear it, give us a signal! ”
I was standing next to me, almost deafened by the girl's high voice, and after she finished shouting, I felt as if there was still a voice ringing in my ears. I shook my head, and the shrill sound slowly cleared out of my head.
"How?" I looked around and asked the girl.
The girl stared at the hole and frowned in disappointment after a moment. "What's going on? Could it be that I'm not loud enough for them to hear? ”
"It shouldn't be!" I exclaimed, "Where in this garden can I not hear your ghostly scream?" If you keep it louder, I'm going to have a piercing eardrum! ”
The girl glanced at me fiercely, ignored me, looked down at the deep hole again, and at this look, she suddenly screamed, and my legs weakened, and I almost fell to the ground.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The girl shouted happily, "They have responded, look! ”
The girl pointed with her hand, and I hurriedly looked over, and saw that there were indeed two flickering circles of light in the hole.
The aperture was strange, with a hint of green, a little hazy. It's so dark in this cave that I can't really see it, and I'm not sure if it's the big one. I just felt like the aperture was slowly moving upwards.
"They're coming!" As she spoke, the girl took out two ropes from her backpack and prepared to answer them.
I don't know where she got her confidence, but looking at these two huge apertures, I always felt uncomfortable.
Although the aperture appears and disappears, it hardly sways. If it is a flashlight held by a person, the light should sway and fluctuate with the person's movements, but the state of these two apertures is inevitably too stable.
"How wide is this hole?" I asked casually.
"At least, there are forty or fifty meters." The girl replied.
When she said this, I became even more confused, and took her by the arm and dragged her back to the entrance of the cave.
"Wouldn't it be strange if you came and looked at the two apertures, and the proportions of the hole," I said. …… In this comparison, this light source is more than ten meters wide, and Dadong will resist a large flashlight more than ten meters wide to climb up? ”
"Oops, you're stupid!" The girl scolded, "Light scatters." ”
"Scattering? Wrong wrong! I hurriedly shook my head, "If you scatter it, it's also a flashlight, it shouldn't be like this!" The light of the flashlight is very clear, will this be the way it shines into your eyes? Think about it again. ”
The girl was stunned by what I said, and she hesitated. She poked her head into the hole again, and by this time, the aperture had climbed very high, but it was too dark in the cave to see anything but these two apertures.
The incendiary rod is extinguished.
I didn't dare to do anything rashly, so I froze in place, and countless speculations crossed my mind for a while. I was trying to imagine what the hell this could be, when suddenly a loud yell, "Run!" ”
The girl and I were stunned, and before we could react to what was going on, we saw Xiao Rong step forward and grab the two of us.
"Wait a minute!" Before I ran out, I held Xiao Rong down with my backhand, "What do you say first?" Do you want to die? ”
I know Xiao Rong must have seen something, but now that we have run away, what should they do with Dadong?
Xiao Rong's face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost - he had never been like this before, "It's the 'bell'!" If you don't run, it's too late! ”
"What?" As soon as I heard this, my brain suddenly "buzzed", I thought of the ghostly corner of the cave bottom, the "sleeping thing" that Dadong said, and the deafening snoring sound in the cave...... I just felt so nervous that my whole body was like a bow string full of strings.
My mouthpiece tightened, and I was trying to say anything more, when the girl next to me screamed, "Mom! …… It's coming up! ”
I shuddered, tilted my head and unconsciously glanced down in the light of the girl's flashlight. I could finally see what was going on in the cave, and I gasped, my scalp tingled, and my heart fell into my pants.
It was a scene I will never forget for the rest of my life!
I saw a huge face crawling out of the hole......
