Chapter 3: The Ghost Wall
"That's good, I didn't see the power distribution room, and there was a fork in the road first." Chen Zaihai sighed, picked up the military kettle and took a sip of it. "Pick one of the three?"
"You guys wait here, I'll go ahead and see what's going on." I said.
I, who had been walking in front, asked the engineer on the side for the miner's lamp, and then cautiously walked towards the three forks in the road. The light spot of the miner's lamp is a little swaying, am I a little too nervous? There was nothing but rocks in front of me, so what was I afraid of?
It's hard to describe, and the closer you get to the three openings of the black hole, the more pronounced it becomes. If you have to describe it, it is closer to a kind of pressure, for example, if you are at the top of a cliff, you will definitely not jump, but whenever you approach the edge of the cliff, you will naturally be afraid, which is an instinctive reaction from life.
Although it is a fork in the road, it is a tunnel for trains to travel, and each fork is still very large. I shuddered and looked at the fork in the middle.
What creeps me out is that the inside of this tunnel is made entirely of volcanic rock, and the cables that flow into it are all densely inserted into the volcanic rock. This is also the case with the remaining two, what is going on here? What's the point of sending electricity to the inside of the wall?
Just as I was about to turn back, I suddenly felt a red light flash in the afterglow. It scared the hell out of me, what the is that? There wasn't any such thing at all, did you?
I reflexively rolled backwards, and immediately tried to pull out my gun. As soon as I touch it, I feel that my back is empty, not damn it! Just now, I thought it was troublesome to bring a gun, so I gave it to Chen Zaihai! If I lose my life because of this laziness, I'll lose a lot of money.
Helpless, I had to take advantage of the situation to look at the place where the red light appeared just now, the red light seemed to be still there, motionless, and there was no sign of attacking, the enemy did not move, I did not move, and I had to flirt with him with wide eyes.
"Lao Su, what are you doing here? Do push-ups? Chen Zaihai's voice came from behind him, it turned out that I had been standing still, Chen Zaihai and they all came over because they were a little strange.
"Be quiet! Don't you see that thing in front of you? I immediately turned around and covered his mouth and gave Talia a look to tell her to be quiet too.
"What's that? I noticed it just now in the back, and when you just came out of those forks in the road, it suddenly appeared. Talia asked quietly.
"I don't know, I didn't even notice this thing before." I replied in a whisper.
Strangely, while we were chatting, the thing didn't move at all. Nothing but the constant red light that made it presence.
This thing seems to be deliberately trying to be more patient with us, and in the darkness each of us faces are very pale, and none of us dares to act rashly, for fear of alarming that thing and causing trouble for ourselves.
Each of us deliberately slowed down our breathing rate, and the surroundings were so quiet that we could hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
It's a very embarrassing situation, we don't dare to move this thing if it doesn't move, so we play with it and play one, two, three, wooden people. Everyone, including the engineers, loaded their guns, and I got my own guns back from Chen Zaihai. The tense atmosphere lasted for dozens of minutes, and everyone stared at the red light as if they were facing a great enemy, and I didn't even dare to blink an eye.
The problem is that maintaining this state of affairs is a huge drain on mental and concentration, and if we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to support it for the first time. The red light seemed to be completely unaffected, it had moved even a centimeter.
"I said, Lao Su, don't you think the red light looks familiar?" Chen Zaihai seemed to be really unable to help it, "I always feel that this thing doesn't look like a living thing." ”
"I also feel this after Chen Zaihai said this, we have indeed seen this thing before." Talia said.
Strangely enough, as soon as the two of them said this, I began to feel that the thing in front of me became more and more familiar, before we had extinguished a miner's lamp in order not to be discovered by the thing, and the thing had been hiding in the shadow of the light, and it was impossible to see the entity clearly.
"Why don't I go over and have a look?" Chen Zaihai proposed.
"Are you sure? What if it's a living creature? I worried.
"Well, chiefs, may I say something?" At this time, an engineer behind him asked in a low voice.
Looking back, I really have a little impression of this person, he has solved many engineering problems for us several times before, and he seems to have a more presence in this group of engineers. We glanced at each other a few times, and realized that he continued.
The engineer breathed a sigh of relief, then put down the 54 and said, "The leaders have indeed seen this thing, and in my opinion, this thing is the same as the red emergency light we had on that black tower before." ”
I suddenly felt that time had stopped in another sense at that moment, and I was so embarrassed to go home! How can I be scared twice in one day by the same thing! At this time, Chen Zaihai and Taria's expressions must have been very interesting.
"Old Su, this kid is right. This thing is the emergency light we saw this morning. I don't know when Chen Zaihai ran out again.
"What a false alarm, it turned out to be a lamp." Talia sat down on the ground in prostration, "What a shame, we're really causing trouble for the little engineer brother." ”
"No, no, the chief is serious! I just found out. The engineer immediately said in a panic.
"Alright, alright, don't be modest. When it comes to engineering experience, we are far worse than you. Not finding it means that we are not observant enough. Chen Zaihai walked back and put his arm around the shoulders of the engineer and smiled, "Kid, I see that you have good qualifications, so you can mess with me in the future." After this mission, you will be given a first-class merit, and it is no problem to change the squad leader. ”
As soon as the engineer heard that he could be promoted, he immediately became energetic. Think about it, which soldier's dream is not to make a meritorious career and then return to his hometown, the temptation of first-class merit is unimaginable for summer soldiers.
In particular, the second-line arms of the engineering corps, deep mountains and old forests, desert rivers, and construction sites, their work places are nothing more than these. Compared with the front-line combat units that are now fighting in the south, they really have very few opportunities to make meritorious contributions.
"Although it's a little strange to ask now, what's your name, little brother? It would be rude to have helped us so many times that I didn't even know the name. Talia pulled out the engineer in Chen Zaihai's arms, and she saw that the child was about to be strangled to death by Chen Zaihai.
"That, that, my name is Nie Chuanhui. The Fourth Engineering Corps of Inner Mongolia is a second-class soldier of the third regiment, the fourth company, and the second squad. "I feel like this kid is a little flattered.
"Xiao Nie, right? Thank you so much before, if it weren't for your cleverness, we don't know how much time we would have wasted here. Talia said softly.
"Well, Chief, you're really serious. This is just my job, and I can't do anything without other comrades. It was clear that Nie Chuanhui had no previous experience with women, and the communication with Talia had made him even more nervous.
"Child, I can definitely understand you, the first time I came into contact with this tall Soviet beauty, I was inferior to you." I patted Nie Chuanhui on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
After that, we carefully inspected the area around the fork hole, and in addition to the accident at the beginning, there were several other lights scattered around the area.
According to Nie, there may be a stable power system with low maintenance requirements. Decades later, the system is still working, suggesting that it may have used a similar emergency power system to a cell tower.
Now it's time to get it started again. It could have been the collapse of the tunnel entrance just now, or it could have been something else.
Looking at the red emergency lights scattered around me, I still care about the three tunnels that are all volcanic rock. At first glance, they gave me a very strange feeling, which could even escalate to evil. Although there was no clear evidence, I instinctively wanted to stay away from them.
Chen Zaihai and the others are very unimpressed, it's just three tunnels, can they still eat people? Talia also thinks I'm too nervous, so it's better to take a break. Nie Chuanhui didn't say anything, but I think he just didn't dare to say it
Without any evidence, I had to give up, listen to their words and obediently find a place to eat dry food. With the faint red glow of the emergency light above my head, I looked down at my watch. At eight o'clock in the evening, before I knew it, it was already night
Chen Zaihai and Nie Chuanhui took two engineers to find the power distribution room, after all, the main tunnel is very large, and there is still a possibility of leakage.
"I'm talking about Talia." When I was bored, I had to talk to someone on the side.
"Huh? What's wrong? "The voice sounds a little lazy, as if it's mixed with a little coquettish? Is Talia asleep?
When she turned her head, her head was already like pounding garlic. The long blonde hair slightly soaked in sweat had a few strands naturally attached to her delicate cheeks, and her long eyelashes and big blue eyes, she was really a rare beauty.
At this time, Talia was sitting next to me, leaning against the wall behind her and gently stretching her slender limbs, and even the slender legs were slightly scraped, because of this movement, her chest suddenly opened a lot.
Ah, it's a bit bad, this scene is a little too sexy. I immediately turned my head, if it wasn't for the bad light, I would definitely see her underwear just now!
"Nothing! I'm just a little curious, and we've known each other for a long time. I feel like you know China very well, don't you? Not only is the Chinese fluent in Chinese, but even some swearing words can be said simply, which always feels so powerful. "I tried to change the subject, and it would be a problem to let her know that I had almost looked at her chest.
"Ah, you mean that?" She herself didn't seem to notice this at all, and she was still comfortably leaning on her eyes to recuperate.
After all, she is still a woman, and after such a high-intensity physical exertion, fatigue must have accumulated a lot, so let her take a good rest here.
"Talia, Old Sue, we're back. I walked around completely, and there was nothing but railroad tracks and stones. Chen Zaihai's voice came from not far away.
I immediately rushed over to ask him to be quiet, it was almost early. At this time, there is still a lot of danger in continuing to move forward, so it's better to spend the night here today, Chen Zaihai also agreed.
After saying this, I walked back alone and found a place to lie down. Not to mention Talia, even I am almost at the limit, Chen Zaihai seems to be eating dry food with the engineers, and I don't care so much.
As soon as you relax, it's easy to get sleepy, so I quickly fell asleep
"Chief! Heads! Wake up! Something went wrong! "The next day, I was woken up by Nie Chuanhui's panicked screams.
"What's the matter, don't panic about what's going on? Take your time. "I finally got up, so I had to find a way to appease him first.
"Someone, someone was given by the wall, eaten!"
Well, this sentence has already made me completely sober, and this matter is really not small
