Chapter 028: Exploring the Tunnel

Looking at the dark tunnel at the bottom of the coffin, I began to slander Zhang Yihan again in my heart.

This likes to call me every time something happens, why can't she go down herself?

Hurry down, I'm here to protect you! What Zhang Yihan said is a good one, I will go down to the tunnel, you protect me on this, you can figure it out.

But I only dared to think about these words in my heart, and I didn't dare to say them to my face.

I am a newcomer, although Zhang Yihan has no position in our brigade, it is an unwritten rule in the system for recruits to listen to veterans, so she can be regarded as half of my leader. Coupled with Zhao Mingzhu beside me at this time, how dare I contradict Zhang Yihan.

Just when I was hesitating, Zhao Mingzhu spoke: Xiao Zhang, you and Xiaolin go down together to take a look, in case there is any danger inside, it is good to take care of it.

Roaring Hearing Zhao Mingzhu say that, my heart blossomed.

I looked at Zhang Yihan with a smug face, secretly refreshed.

Let's go, what are you doing in a daze? Zhang Yihan glanced at me, as if I had hurt her, and didn't give me a good face at all.

Of course I don't bother with her, in fact I'm used to it.

Immediately afterward, I climbed into the coffin with a flashlight in my mouth.

Underneath the coffin is a rectangular tunnel dug along the coffin, and after jumping into the tunnel, it is found that there are deep black holes at both ends of the tunnel. One end leads to the direction of the mountain, and the other end leads to the direction of the swamp outside. I took a flashlight and found that the two tunnels turned around about twenty meters away.

What's going on here, take a closer look at the cave to see if there are any ghosts, if there are ghosts, I won't come down. I knew that she was deliberately scaring me, so I glanced at her and looked at Zhao Mingzhu who was standing next to her: Team Zhao, there are dark tunnels at both ends, and they have turned around about twenty meters, and there is nothing to find at the moment.

Well, be careful. Zhao Mingzhu nodded: Let's take a tentative walk first and see if we can find any clues in the tunnel.

Clues: When I heard Zhao Mingzhu say that, I lowered my head and began to look for it on the ground. Sure enough, I soon found two footprints, one deep and one shallow, and there was a small dirt pit poked by a cane next to the footprints.

This tunnel has obviously been many years old, and because there is mud on both sides and on the ground, it is not reinforced with masonry, so the dirt on both sides is scattered on the ground, and the soil on the ground is very soft, and the footprints are very clear.

Team Zhao, I saw the footprints of that lame old man again? I said with some joy.

This old man is mysterious, no one else dares to enter Lotus Village, but he comes and goes alone in Lotus Village without a trace, it is estimated that the ghosts in the mouths of those villagers under the mountain of Lotus Village are actually him playing ghosts.

The most important thing is that he was also involved in the death of Li Dapeng's mother. Li Dapeng's mother will die here suddenly, so we have never figured out why, to figure this out, the only way to find out is to catch this old man.

Where the footprints are, I'll see. At this moment, Zhang Yihan also came down from above.

I pointed to a few clear footprints on the ground and said, "Here, the footprints are in the direction of the mountain."

What are you doing in a daze, chasing Zhang Yihan with a wave of his big hand, he held the flashlight and took the lead in drilling inside.

Wait a minute, you bring your knives with you, just in case something happens. Zhao Mingzhu stopped us, and then handed each of us a mountain opening knife.

The mountain knife is a necessary artifact for field missions, and one of us prepared one when we went up the mountain yesterday.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yihan and I took a mountain knife and set off.

Zhang Yihan walked in front, and I walked behind. The tunnel is only half a person high, and we have to bend down to move forward. It is also relatively narrow, and can only accommodate one person to pass guò alone.

After a few steps, we reached the corner we had seen earlier. After turning this corner, we walked not far and another corner appeared, and just like that, we turned around the tunnel for about ten minutes, and suddenly two forks in front of us appeared.

These two forks appear in front of us in a Y-shape.

The two of us looked at the entrance of the tunnel for a while, and were surprised to find that the old man's footprints had suddenly disappeared there. It was as if he had disappeared from the world after walking here.

Because not only do there be no footprints at the entrance of the two tunnels, but the caves are also covered with a lot of cobwebs, it seems that no one has walked on these two forks for many years.

Seeing this, I suddenly remembered the first time I saw the old man halfway up the mountain. At that time, after I chased after him, I could only see his footprints within a few meters of the surrounding circumference, and I couldn't see anything further away. Later, when I remembered this, I thought that I hadn't seen it clearly, but then I saw the old man disappear out of thin air, and I suddenly felt a little weak.

Senior sister, you shouldn't need to look at these two forks of the road, they will be abandoned for many years at a glance. I kind of want to go back. It's pitch black, and I always feel as if a pair of eyes are watching us in the dark.

Look at your cowardice, I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of? Zhang Yihan glanced at me, turned around and walked towards the fork in the road on the right: act separately, shout loudly when you encounter a ghost, and my sister will rush over to save you. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of ghosts, my grandmother said that you can kiss him when you see a ghost

This girl was obviously scaring me and fooling me, so I said angrily: Your grandmother didn't say that she saw a ghost and told you to take off your clothes immediately?

Get lost! Zhang Yihan raised his knife at me and made a gesture to cut. I ducked back, and she didn't chase me anymore, but slashed the webs and roots with her knife and walked deeper into the fork in the road.

Seeing that she had already walked into the fork on the right, I reminded her: Senior sister, if there is another fork in the road, don't go in casually, for fear of getting lost. I'm worried that she's going to be messy for a while, and if I get lost, I'll have to look for her.

Zhang Yihan didn't speak, and quickly turned around, and when I saw this, I quickly got into the tunnel on the left. At this time, although I was already a little weak-hearted, I didn't want a woman to look down on me.

I slashed the roots and cobwebs in the middle of the tunnel with my knife as I slowly moved forward, and I didn't get far before I came across the first corner.

Strange to say, as soon as I turned the corner, the cobwebs and roots were gone, and the tunnels were as clean as the ones we had walked before. The difference is that this tunnel seems to be very long, and I can't get enough light on it with a flashlight.

You must know that I am holding a police flashlight specially ordered by our police system, and the irradiation distance is at least 500 meters. Although the sense of distance will be different in this kind of dark and closed place, I feel that this straight tunnel is at least two or three hundred meters.

I knew I would waste a lot of time if I walked through here, so I turned around and turned around.

Ahem, ahem, ahem, just as I turned around, I suddenly heard a cough behind me.

I was so frightened that my nerves tensed instantly, and I quickly turned around and shone a flashlight on the straight tunnel. It's just a pity that I didn't see anything.

Who? I dared to scream, but there was no response.

I turned to look behind me again to see if I had misheard, but there was nothing behind me.

But just as I turned around, I heard the cough behind me again.

This time I heard it clearly, and the cough was definitely coming from the other end of the straight tunnel.

As soon as I thought about it, I thought that this voice must be that of the old man, so I hurriedly bent my waist and ran forward. But I had just run less than ten meters when I suddenly heard a terrible scream from behind me: Ah

I have been with Zhang Yihan for so long, of course I can hear that it is Zhang Yihan's voice.

Senior sister, I yelled and quickly turned around and ran back. Soon I came to the fork in the road where I broke up with Zhang Yihan before. I rushed in without hesitation, but when I turned the first corner, I was dumbfounded.

Because I saw that her side was the same as what I had just encountered, and there was a straight passage here, and there was no end in sight.

But I didn't have time to think about it at this time, so I hurriedly rushed inside while shouting: Senior sister, senior sister Zhang Yihan

It's a pity that I never heard Zhang Yihan's reply again. I was anxious for her safety, and continued to run forward with my waist bent.

As I ran, a hand suddenly reached out from my right side and grabbed my right hand.

I exclaimed, and a flashlight slammed into my right. However, as soon as I smashed my flashlight, someone blocked it with my hand.

With the help of the flashlight just now, I found out that the person who arrested me was Zhang Yihan.

You're trying to crush me! Zhang Yihan shouted angrily.

You're insane, what's the name of the mess? I yelled at Zhang Yihan. As soon as I saw that she was okay, I knew it was her prank again. This time I was really angry, I was nervous to death for her, but she was entertaining me again.

However, I didn't expect that I would really blame her this time. I saw her glaring at me and said coldly: You see for yourself

Zhang Yihan turned sideways after speaking, and I realized that there was also a long passage behind her, and not far from the passage, there was a person with blurred flesh and blood half-lying.

He was ragged and covered in blood, even with a lot of blood on his mouth.

This person is none other than the missing Ge Lao.
