Chapter 41: The Desperate Situation of the Three
Cha Muque shook his head and said: "I don't know, I only know that the location we are in is a huge underground ore vein, this ore vein was a huge project thirty years ago, when it was forced to stop work for various reasons, and all the intersections that could enter the ore vein were also blocked, and the 'ears and eyes' you mentioned may be one of the entrances to this ore vein."
Sun Yan nodded: "I also guessed this before, but if the 'Ears and Eyes' are only one of the entrances to this vein, how can it be hidden from time to time, and the sound of this flood impact is too strange, is it also related to this giant underground vein?" ”
Sun Yan asked all the doubts in his heart, and always felt that he had the impression that the 'supernatural power' of Cha Muqi should know everything, but after asking, Cha Muque only pondered for a while, and seemed to not know how to answer, and then shook his head.
Seeing his reaction, Sun Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and immediately frowned, and said, "Since all the entrances to the ore veins have been sealed, how did you get in?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Reheroki, and saw that the group was still expressionless, as if he wasn't listening to the conversation between the two of them at all.
"Although the entrance and exit of this underground vein were sealed back then, the treatment was not perfect, most of the tunnels in the mine were not filled, and there were several abandoned alleys that were even connected to the outside world. As for the specific process, it is a long story. Cha Muqi replied.
As soon as he heard that Cha Muque had found the entrance and came in by himself, Sun Yan was suddenly a little excited in his heart, he didn't know how deep he was now underground, but it was not a thousand meters, at least five hundred meters, and he definitely couldn't go back to the original place and climb back along the rope.
So he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked: "Then where is the entrance where you came in at that time, according to the current situation, I can't go back the way I came, if we find someone else later, we can go out through the pit where you came in." ”
Zha Muque was silent when he heard this, his expression stiffened, as if there was something hidden, Sun Yan wondered, and asked again, "What?" Can't remember the original route? ”
"It's not." Chamuque shook his head and said, "We can't get out of here now. ”
"Why?!" Sun Yan's eyes widened for a moment.
"Did you feel anything unusual about yourself when you climbed down from above?" Cha Muqi asked.
"Strange?" Sun Yan snorted, he didn't know what the strange thing Cha Muqi was referring to, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason, so he said, "There is nothing strange about it, it's just that the underground of this Lop Nur should also be very dry, why after I got down this pit, I not only felt fresh and moist but also very comfortable." ”
"This is because of the influence of the underground ore source here, the veins here are crystal veins, and a lot of moisture is released during the excavation process, so this pit is much wetter than other places." Cha Muqi explained.
Sun Yan's brain jumped, and he immediately remembered the strange three-layer spar he saw in the previous tunnel, which must have been dug out of this pit, he had never seen that kind of stone, although he didn't know how much this spar could be worth, but this ore source would be so peculiar, it really surprised him a lot.
Seeing that Sun Yan was stunned for a while, Cha Muque said to him: "This pit is about eight meters above the ground and is wrapped in a layer of poisonous mist two meters thick, and this layer of poisonous fog is also discharged from the mineral source here, and the concentration is very high. If you take two sips at close range, you will vomit blood and die of lung failure. ”
"Sore?!" Sun Yan was shocked, remembering that his body had been sore and weak when he went down, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't know anything about that layer of fog, if it weren't for the metal frame he stepped on at that time that was "unlucky" and fell from mid-air, it is likely that he would vomit blood now because of the slow passage through the poisonous fog!
This is a great calamity, and if you don't die, you will have a blessing! Sun Yan couldn't help but feel palpitations when he thought about the scene at that time, and at this time he was even more fortunate to touch his neck, although he fell, and the speed through the poisonous fog was very fast, but it was inevitable that he would suck a little, and now I don't know if it was a psychological effect, I always felt that my throat was salty, and there was a crisp/itchy feeling.
"The poisonous gas is discharged from the mineral source, although it will rise to the air to form a layer of fog with a higher concentration, but it takes a long time to form, and it takes decades for the two-meter-thick poisonous fog to form, which means that the amount of toxic gas discharged by the mineral source in a period of time is very small, so staying at the bottom of this mine for a while will not kill immediately. It's just"
Zha Muque suddenly paused when he said this, and when he paused, Sun Yan's whole heart was raised, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Just what?" ”
Zha Muque walked straight to the entrance of the mine, beckoned, and motioned for Sun Yan to come over, Sun Yan walked next to him, and Zha Muque asked him to turn off the flashlight, and at the same time motioned him to look out. Sun Yan didn't know what he was doing, and when he looked out inexplicably, he saw a group of strange black shadows moving in the darkness in the center of the mine.
At first, he thought he was dazzled, and he turned on the flashlight with a "snap", but as soon as the flashlight was turned on and the light passed, those black shadows disappeared immediately. Sun Yan wondered, and immediately realized why Zha Muque asked him to turn off the flashlight.
He hurriedly turned off the flashlight again, and those strange black shadows immediately reappeared, Sun Yan observed carefully this time, although in the darkness he couldn't completely see what those black shadows were, but he could see a clear outline.
These black shadows are thin and long, and at first glance they seem to be a group of people, because they have heads, feet, and bodies, but on closer inspection, they are not so, and the heads of these black shadows are all flattened, almost connected to the neck, like a slightly raised flat strip. And their shoulders hung down very badly, like people hanging in mid-air, moving slowly in a very distorted movement, the strange feeling was indescribable, although Sun Yan encountered a lot of strange things along the way, but at this time he still shivered coldly.
Hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Damn, what is this?!" ”
Cha Muqi shook his head and said, "I don't know, these things have been there since we came to the bottom of this mine, but the light can't shine on them, and you can't see them when you walk out of this mine." ”
Sun Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he said in surprise: "How is it possible?" ”
"If you don't believe it, go out and try it."
"Huh?" Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, and when Cha Muque saw that he hesitated, he said, "Just stand at the mouth of the mine." ”
Since Cha Muque said so, Sun Yan couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to straighten up and walk out, this time he didn't turn on the flashlight, but as soon as he went out, the black shadows in the darkness disappeared immediately, and suddenly Sun Yan felt that the whole world seemed to be clean, and he could only see pieces of waste rocks and dents in the ground.
Sun Yan was in a cold sweat, and walked back to the mine quickly, and as soon as he entered the mine and looked out, those strange shadows immediately appeared. Sun Yan turned his body into the mine, didn't dare to look back again, calmed down for a while, and then opened his mouth to ask, "What's the danger of these things?" ”
"I don't know, I can only see their images in this mine at the moment, I don't know what danger these things are, and I haven't deliberately approached them, my intuition tells me that they are not good." Cha Mu Que said.
Sun Yan sighed depressedly and said, "You mean that we can neither climb up nor walk around the bottom of the mine at will, so how did you two get here?" As he spoke, Sun Yan glanced up at the mines, then was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did you come in from these mines?" ”
Cha Muques nodded.
"Then why don't you walk out of here again?" Sun Yan said in surprise.
"We are trapped, these mines can only come in and not go out, and this is not a simple ghost hitting the wall, it is affected by the entire mine source." Cha Mu Que said.
Sun Yan knows that in some specific places, for various reasons, people or animals will not be able to walk out of a place, just like there is a wall in front of you blocking your way, this phenomenon is real in reality, but it cannot be explained by science.
Checking what Muque meant, Sun Yan certainly understood, if it was a ghost hitting the wall, it meant that no matter how they went into the mine, they would eventually come back here. But most of this phenomenon will appear in ancient tombs, how can there also be in the mines, could it be that the two of them are all ghosted?
Although Sun Yan didn't doubt what Zha Muque said, he still wanted to confirm it himself, after all, many things are heard as false and seeing as believing, not to mention things that sound particularly illusory to ordinary people, such as ghosts hitting the wall.
Seeing Sun Yan standing there and shaking his head, Cha Muque said to him, "You can check it yourself, it won't take too long." Give me the flashlight, though. ”
"Why?" Sun Yan looked at Zha Muque in wonder, and said in his heart that there was no light to let him go in the dark, but seeing that Zha Muque insisted, Sun Yan had no choice but to give him the flashlight and walked straight to the depths of the mine.
The mine road here is no different from the other mines that Sun Yan has walked before, but not much distance after walking in, Sun Yan found that the vision in the mine is very good, although it is dark from the outside, but from the inside and outside, he can see that this mine is more than 30 meters away, and there is a bright white light at a distance of more than 30 meters.
Seeing this light, Sun Yan couldn't help but be very puzzled, he quickly quickened his pace and approached the white light, sure enough, when he walked in, Sun Yan saw Cha Muqi and Hot Black Wood, and that white light was emitted by the flashlight he handed over to Cha Muque just now!
