Everyone was stunned, how could we have jumped from Cave 29 to Cave 14 at once, we had made a clear marking? Hell not?

Captain Li was quite calm and analyzed:

"Let's go back and try again, I see that these caves are like spider webs, intertwined, and seem to be a naturally formed labyrinth system, at this time, we must not panic, maybe we have been walking in the same environment for a long time, and we have hallucinations. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

We retreated from No. 29 to Cave No. 30 and re-walked it as Captain Lee suggested, but the mark did not change at all, and it was still No. 14.

The fat man Huang had an impatient temperament, and couldn't help but say: "It doesn't matter what kind of maze he is, he will always go out if he walks around!" ”

Yang Xue immediately retorted to him: "This is similar to buying a lottery ticket and winning the probability, you all know the three-digit lockbox, the kind of password lock is the simplest, but it has as many as 720 combinations, if the same number is also counted, then as many as 1000!" According to Boss Huang's method, although we can also go out, if we don't repeat the circle, it's just that the food we bring may not last that long, and besides, you have been poisoned by snakes......"

Boss Chen said: "We might as well walk outside along this '14' cave and see what the situation is." ”

Things are too weird, we were a little confused for a while, we couldn't figure out which link went wrong, just according to Boss Chen, along the 14th cave to go out, walked for more than an hour, there were two branch intersections, we checked one of them, and found that the cave wall was written on a "13", we were so excited to see it, and no matter how we suddenly walked from the 29th to the 14th, we followed the 13th, almost not suspecting that the front branch would appear on the 12th.

Cave No. 13 is relatively long, we walked for nearly two hours before we reached the end, went up to take a look, only to see a set of numbers written on the cave wall: 25!

It's incredible, can't we fall for evil? Obviously entered from Cave 13, and there were no forks along the way, how did you get to the end and jump to the 25th? What's going on here, it's completely inconsistent with the laws of physics? Could it be that you have encountered a real ghost hitting the wall?

I remembered the situation of getting lost in the miasma forest before, but at that time I was completely wrong with my perception because of the low visibility, and in the cave it was different, first of all, there was no fog in the cave that blocked the view, or the darkness that did not allow light; Besides, we all have flashlights, and if the feeling deceives us, will the numbers on the wall of the cave still deceive us?

At this time, we had been walking in these caves for more than ten hours in a row, and even if it was steel and iron bones, we were so tired that we were sleepy, and one by one we were listless, and sat down crookedly against the cave wall. There was no way, so Captain Li beckoned everyone to rest in place, saying that we should gather all the food on our bodies and distribute it, now we are trapped here I don't know how long it will take to get out, once we run out of food, it is impossible for us to get out alive. There is no problem with the water, there are dripping water in many places in this cave, we can replenish it.

We took out all the food and put it in a pile, which seemed to be enough for one person to eat for many days, but there were more than ten of us in total, and Captain Li and I briefly divided it, and found that according to the minimum ration, it would not last for three days.

I said why did you only bring such a little food, then Captain Li also looked aggrieved, saying that according to the original plan, our exploration of the cave was only within a week, where did I think that there would be all kinds of accidents along the way, delayed. I didn't think about restricting the food of the team members before, they were stuck in a dark environment for a long time, the concept of time was very vague, they ate when they were hungry, sometimes they had to eat four or five meals a day, and they were not aware of it at all. I thought, it doesn't matter if the food is gone, there are a lot of fish in this underground river, and we brought some fishing gear to catch and eat. Where did you expect to find yourself in the situation you are in?

I said that it doesn't matter if the food is finished, people can live for 10 days when there is water, but we are now in a deep depression, and we are afraid that once the food is cut off, there will be panic, and no one can stop it at that time, and I don't know what will happen, besides, panic is equivalent to losing our minds, and once we lose our rational judgment, it is even more impossible to get out.

In the end, we decided to rest in place for 6 hours to recharge our energy and continue looking for an exit. During the break, Captain Li called Yang Xue and me aside and said that you are experts in caving and have rich experience, let's think of a way together to see if there is any way to get out of this maze.

Yang Xue said:

"It's too complicated, this cave system has many branches, I've never encountered this before, and there is no good solution for a while......

When I saw that she looked depressed, an idea suddenly flashed to me, and I said:

"Yes, we can do this, let a person with strong physical strength tie a rope and walk around the branch in the hole, this method is stupid, but it works, the most important thing is to rely on luck."

Yang Xue immediately retorted to me: "Mr. Long, your method is extremely stupid, just like a fool moving a mountain, but we don't have much time left, I'm afraid we can't even move a corner of the mountain." ”

I glared at her, blamed her for interjecting, and said, "So what can you do?" If you can't think of a way to do it yourself, then try my way, and there's nothing to lose! ”

Captain Li nodded yes and said that he might as well give it a try for the time being.

Yang Xue said again: "It's okay to try, it's just that it's a bit dangerous to go alone, and if you encounter any situation, you don't have to take care of it, so it's better to go with two people." ”

After saying that, she immediately gave me a look, and I understood it, so I said to Captain Li:

"That's it, I and this Miss Yang are not sleepy at the moment, what we lack most now is time, we must race against time, so let me tie a rope with Miss Yang and go out to explore, in case the blind cat meets a dead mouse, maybe it."

Then Captain Li suddenly glanced at us, and said that since you volunteered, then I can't say anything, but you should be more careful when you go, and if you don't have enough physical strength, go back quickly. So we agreed on a code, and if we found a way out, we would pull the rope three times in a row, and if we wanted to go back, we would pull five times.

After we agreed, Yang Xue and I tied a rope and walked out along Cave 25, and when we reached the end, we found No. 24, and then went forward, and it became No. 18 again.

I said, "Tigress, do you see if we are like headless flies and aimless, is there any special way to increase the probability?" ”

Yang Xue glared at me, blaming me for calling her nickname indiscriminately, a little angry:

"You are not allowed to call me a tigress again, do you hear?"

I nodded hurriedly, saying that I knew I was wrong, and she continued: "I have also thought about this matter carefully just now, and I think that we should find the root cause, and it is unlikely that such a blind collision will succeed. Think about it, could it be that the numbers are deceiving us? ”

I was stunned and said, "How can numbers deceive us?" Could it be that none of them survived? A 6 somersaulted on the wall of the cave and became a 9? ”

Yang Xue said: "When is it, are you still in the mood to joke, how can numbers live?" Numbers are written by people, and they are what they are written, and they will never change, unless they ......"

I hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" Is there really a ghost doing something out of it? ”

Yang Xue frowned, seemed a little confused, and said:

"I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, don't forget, besides us, there is another person in this cave......"
