New seedlings? Sun Yan muttered in his mouth, and took advantage of the light of the flashlight to take a good look at the girl again, the girl was wearing a shabby small square-necked plaid cloth shirt, the cloth clothes may not have been washed for a long time, and dirt and dust obscured the original color of the clothes. The lower body was wearing a pair of black cloth pants with particularly thick material, the pants were very long, and the trouser legs were torn and pulled upward.

Xinmiao wore two twisted braids, which came out from behind her ears and were placed on her shoulders. Her face was actually dirt, which had been accumulated after not washing her face for a long time, but even so, Sun Yan could still see that Xin Miao's facial features were very delicate, and her eyes were watery, black and white.

"How did you end up in this tunnel?" After looking at it for a while, Sun Yan opened his mouth and asked, he was still curious about how a teenager could run into this underground tunnel, could it be that he came in with the expedition team? But look at her dress and don't look like it, now it's rare to see a girl of her age wearing this kind of clothes, the last time I went to that "Getaya" village, I saw a lot of women and children would wear it like this, so now I can only speculate that she is a child from the villages around Lop Nur, maybe she followed the elders into Lop Nur and got lost, strayed into this tunnel, and couldn't get out.

Xinmiao was also looking at Sun Yan carefully when Sun Yan looked at her, and when she heard Sun Yan's question, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

"You don't know?" Sun Yan felt incredible, how could he not even know how he got into this tunnel?

Seeing Sun Yan's confused face, Xinmiao added: "I forgot." ”

"Think again." Sun Yan frowned instantly, but Xinmiao just pursed her lips and shook her head, looking embarrassed, it was likely that she didn't want to think about it and couldn't think about it.

Seeing this, Sun Yan shook his head helplessly, thinking that she was likely to have amnesia, so he no longer embarrassed him, and then changed the question: "By the way, have you seen these monsters before?" Sun Yan said and swept the flashlight to the side of the iron gate, and those monsters were still gathered by the iron gate at this time. But they weren't as agitated as they had just been, and they all tilted their heads, as if listening to the movement outside the iron gate.

Xinmiao nodded, but then shook her head again, Sun Yan didn't understand what she meant by nodding and shaking her head for a while, just wanted to ask her, only to hear Xinmiao open her mouth and say, "In the past, I talked to them. ”

Sun Yan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, his mouth couldn't close, a pair of eyes stared at Xinmiao, he didn't know what to say for a while, Xinmiao saw him dumbfounded, and his face couldn't help but show a smug look.

After a long time, Sun Yan took a breath and calmed down his mood. He remembered Xinmiao's panicked expression when he saw those monsters and Xinmiao's incredible answers just now, and he felt that Xinmiao's spirit might have some problems, or she was deliberately lying, otherwise, Sun Yan really couldn't associate such a hideous and terrifying monster with her.

Thinking like this, Sun Yan stood up, walked a few steps to the pit in front, and after sweeping the flashlight a few times, he came back again, and Xinmiao hurriedly stood up when he saw this.

Sun Yan asked her, "Do you know how to get out of this tunnel?" Where is the exit? ”

Shinmiao shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”

Sun Yan had long expected her to say this, and was helpless for a while, but he couldn't help but say to her again: "My companion and I got lost, and they went down to this cave one after another, although this hole has undergone some strange changes before, but I feel that they must still be here, I have to find them." ”

Xinmiao nodded lightly when she heard this, but her mouth was still muttering: "But I really don't know"

"Okay, forget it if you don't know, I won't embarrass you." Sun Yan sighed and said.

"But I've seen two people before." Xinmiao said again.

"Huh?" Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stared at Xin Miao suspiciously, and said, "Have you seen two people?" What kind of people? ”

"One is older, one is younger, and the younger one is a big brother like you." Xinmiao said.

As soon as he heard her say this, Sun Yan suddenly became excited, one is a grade old, and the other is young, isn't this Hu Tengjiu and Qi Dongrui?!

"Oh, that's a coincidence!" Sun Yan clenched his fists excitedly, and hurriedly bent over to Xinmiao and said, "Xinmiao, do you know where they are?" Take me to them. ”

"Yes, good!" Shinmiao didn't shake her head or say she didn't know this time, she nodded happily, and then turned around and walked forward.

Sun Yan was very excited for a while, and he didn't think much about it, so he followed Xinmiao forward one after the other.

Sun Yan's steps were very big, and he couldn't wait to fly to the place where Xinmiao was going to take him in one breath, so that he frequently walked in front of Xinmiao, and Xinmiao could only trot up in order to keep up with him.

This section of the tunnel is no different from the one behind the iron gate, and the tunnel is full of traces left by the previous mining, the only difference is that the front of this section of the tunnel seems to lead to another road.

Sure enough, the two walked forward about a hundred meters or so, and the front of the tunnel suddenly opened up, and a crossroads appeared, which was an irregular oval cave, with a passage in each of the four directions, southeast, northwest, and north, and I don't know where it leads.

Without stopping in this place, Xinmiao walked directly to the passage that was facing them, Sun Yan was in a hurry at this time, so he only swept around with a flashlight, and he didn't see anything special, so he immediately followed Xinmiao to the passage in front.

Entering from the entrance of the passage found that this is also an abandoned tunnel, but this tunnel is crooked, the road surface is also broken, and it is very difficult to walk, and in this tunnel, from time to time there will be other mines from other places to pass, forming some intersections. However, Xinmiao seems to be very familiar with this complex underground mine network that extends in all directions, and every time she will choose a passage mouth without hesitation, Sun Yan will be a little worried when she follows her, and sometimes she will mutter a sentence or two, however, Xinmiao is deaf most of the time, Sun Yan has no choice, and thinks that she will be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how many forks I crossed, when Sun Yan's excitement had completely cooled down. Xinmiao took him to a huge space, and as soon as he entered, Sun Yan felt a cool breeze, and immediately swept away the boredom on his body.

In order to see this place clearly, Sun Yan took out a flare from his backpack and fired a shot into the air in the distance, the flare flew into the air, and the flickering white light after the explosion instantly illuminated the entire area.

Sun Yan didn't have the heart to care about her at this time, and quickly looked around, under the white light, Sun Yan saw a huge, abandoned underground mine wreckage, at the edge of the mine, laying countless mining tracks, next to the tracks scattered many transport minecarts, some minecarts were lying on the ground, and some minecarts were still carrying the mined ore. In addition to this, there are many wooden platforms at the edge of the mine.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yan's mind went blank, and he just froze in place with his mouth half-open for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until the flare went out. Unable to contain his excitement, he hurriedly pulled out another flare and fired it into the distance, this time he began to look at the huge space in which the mine was located, a huge natural cavern, about the size of a football field.

The place where he stood was fifteen meters from the ground below, which meant that the mouth of the passage was dug into the rock wall in mid-air, but the bulge at his feet was a stone staircase built against the rock wall, and the stone staircase led to the ground. There are also dozens of passages like this on the surrounding cave walls, which seem to have been passed through other tunnels.

The flare went out again, and Sun Yan recovered from the shock, but he was extremely excited, and opened his mouth and shouted directly: "Where are the two people you are talking about?" ”

He asked Xin Miao who was standing next to him this sentence, but no one answered him after asking, half a ring, Sun Yan felt puzzled, turned his head to look, and found that Xin Miao was not next to him.

Sun Yan sighed in his heart, thinking that he was going down, but if this girl wanted to go down, she would have to pass in front of him, because he was standing right here at the mouth of the stone steps, so if she wanted to go down, Sun Yan couldn't have not known, or did this girl go back along the pit behind her?

However, Sun Yan still subconsciously swept down the stone steps with a flashlight, and this time, he saw Xinmiao's girl squatting on a railroad track below, slowly getting up. Seeing this scene, Sun Yan was full of excitement, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, damn! This girl actually jumped directly from this fifteen-meter height, and she was unscathed!

"You're looking for death!" Sun Yan screamed in a hurry and hurriedly ran down the stone steps, but when he ran down in a hurry, Xinmiao was gone!

Sun Yan was so anxious that he turned around in a circle, and after looking for a flashlight for a long time, he didn't even have a shadow. In desperation he shouted a few times, so loudly that it was impossible for the girl not to be heard if she was still around the pit, unless she intended to avoid him. But after shouting a few times in a row, the other party didn't even let out a fart.

Sun Yan was so angry that he stomped his foot a few times. In desperation, he came to the edge of the pit, which was a huge vertical pit with a diameter of about a hundred meters and a bottomless depth. On the vertical walls of the mine, there are many metal brackets and elevators, most of which are dilapidated, but those metal shelves are mostly intact, the light from the flashlights shines through, and occasionally a few things resembling the silhouette of a human can be seen hanging from the shelves.

Standing on the edge of this pit, Sun Yan felt that the air around him was cold, and this kind of coldness was not very uncomfortable, on the contrary, it made people feel very comfortable, even relaxed, and made people feel tired, Sun Yan unconsciously closed his eyes, and at the moment when he closed his eyes, someone behind him suddenly pushed him hard, he was not careful, and actually fell from the edge of the pit!
