Chapter 6: The Cave

Zhang Zhiqiang quickly ran to the river, looking at the ground, his face gloomy.

The others also walked over, and also looked at the ground, where the two wolf corpses that had been placed there by Old John had disappeared.

"What about people? What about people? ”

Yu Haitao looked around and ran around quickly.

"It looks like he left on his own, otherwise the two bodies should still be here." Lin Qiuyun said.

"Damn, this old boy ......" Yu Haitao spat out, "I thought that after using him to kill, I could get a little time." I didn't expect him to be clever, so he ran away. ”

The newcomer tourists looked at each other, and they were all stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Yu Haitao to have the idea of killing people a long time ago, and it seemed that Lin Qiuyun and Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to have acquiesced to his idea.

The newcomers are all new to the civilized world, and they are not used to hearing this kind of thing about killing an innocent person. It's just that everyone wisely didn't express their opinions, and they were a little more vigilant in their hearts.

"What now?" Lin Qiuyun looked at Zhang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Zhiqiang's gaze was a little cold, and there was a feeling that people couldn't look at it directly.

After a while, Zhang Zhiqiang said: "Run, run!" It's just an aborigine, and it's not worth much time to kill. It's important that we finish the task first, but luckily the journey is already known. ”

Everyone remembered what Old John said before how to walk in 10 minutes and how to walk in 20 minutes, and they all felt a little lucky, but fortunately, Old John told the direction that the use value was gone.

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhiqiang turned around and wanted to leave, but then turned his head again, glanced at Wu Fangfang, and said coldly: "If anyone falls behind or makes any more moths, get out of the team immediately!" ”

Wu Fangfang's face turned pale, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing Zhang Zhiqiang walking forward, everyone followed silently.

Fortunately, the next part of the road did not encounter any waves, according to the road pointed out by old John, they walked along the river for about 10 minutes, and several intersecting paths appeared in front of them, which seemed to have been left behind by people who had walked too much.

Then the crowd walked to the road facing the sun, and about twenty minutes later, several dilapidated wooden houses appeared in front of everyone.

"Huh?"

Seeing these wooden houses, everyone was stunned for a moment. Where are the openings?

These wooden houses are made of sturdy cedar wood, but no matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand the erosion of time.

In many parts of the hut the wooden strips are broken, and many places that have come into contact with the dirt have rotted.

The wooden houses look as if they are hundreds of years old.

"Let's take a look at them separately, everyone be careful!"

Zhang Zhiqiang gave an order, and then cautiously walked towards a wooden house.

Yu Haitao and Lin Qiuyun also walked to a wooden house respectively. Chen Mu hesitated for a moment and walked towards the last remaining wooden house.

Zhao Zhengang followed Zhang Zhiqiang over, and the other newcomers hesitated, but after all, they didn't move, and stayed where they were.

After Chen Mu walked into the wooden house, he took a closer look around.

There are very few displays in the wooden houses, and they are all as dilapidated as wooden houses. The walls are adorned with the heads of several wild beasts, including the heads of a deer, a wolf, and even the head of a black bear.

Chen Mu walked to a chair whose paint color had almost faded, reached out and wiped it on the chair, twisting his fingers.

"Here...... Here's the discovery! ”

A cry of surprise came from not far away, and after Chen Mu glanced at the wooden house for another week, he then turned around and walked out.

After walking outside the wooden house, he saw Yu Haitao standing at the door of the wooden house he was exploring, pointing inside and shouting loudly.

The next moment, Zhang Zhiqiang and Lin Qiuyun both walked out of the wooden house and walked over.

Chen Mu followed the newcomer and slowly walked into the wooden house.

The volume of this wooden house was much larger than the one Chen Mu had seen, but it was more empty inside, with only a few rusty iron shelves, and on the ground on the side, there were some black-brown stones and a few tattered shovels.

And the most striking thing is a black hole in the middle of the wooden house with a diameter of almost two meters, like a big mouth waiting to devour something.

Chen Mu and the others circled around the black hole, looked down and looked down, it was dark inside, and there was no bottom.

Zhang Zhiqiang picked up a stone from the side and gently released his hand towards the black hole.

In the blink of an eye, the stone fell into the black hole and disappeared.

"Click", there was an echoing sound in the hole.

Chen Mu glanced at the time on his watch.

Also looking at the time was Lin Qiuyun, after she heard the voice, she raised her head and said: "More than two seconds, less than three seconds, it should be thirty or forty meters deep." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded, then took out a long rope and a candle from his watch, fixed the candle and tied it to the rope, and then lit the candle and slowly put it into the black hole.

A touch of light swayed deeper and deeper, and Chen Mu looked down, the black hole was far away, the cave wall was smooth, and there was some moss.

After a while, you can already see the bottom of the cave, where there are only a few stones.

The candle bottomed out, still burning, and the flame took on an oblique shape, flickering continuously.

"There's oxygen, there's wind, it's not a dead hole."

Chen Mu's heart immediately made a judgment.

"There's oxygen in the cave, so it should be fine. It looks like we're going to enter the cave, and this is the entrance. ”

Zhang Zhiqiang had a smile on his face, it was a lucky thing to be able to successfully find the dark hole so quickly, which saved them a lot of time. Of course, this should be thanks to the guidance of the old John, who is no longer nowhere to be found.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and being able to find the entrance to the cave was considered by everyone to be the first step to success.

However, Chen Mu was keenly aware that Wu Fangfang looked at the swarthy cave, and her face suddenly turned a little pale. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took two steps back, raised her head and glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak.

Zhang Zhiqiang didn't notice Wu Fangfang's abnormality, and said to everyone: "Everyone prepare for half an hour, take a rest, and we will enter the cave in half an hour." ”

A few newcomers cheered, they had been walking for hours, already tired and hungry. Immediately, everyone sat down around the cave, took out the food they had exchanged for a small amount of time from the senior tourists, and began to eat.

Along the way, everyone got to know each other a lot, and they could talk to each other. At this time, several newcomers began to talk, discussing their previous work backgrounds and their views on this mission. Everyone talked and laughed, and those who didn't know thought that these people were having a picnic when they saw it.

Chen Mu took out the bread from his watch and ate it silently.

The bread was something he had spent a little time getting from Lin Qiuyun, it was very dry, a little hard, and it didn't taste very good. However, he chewed it repeatedly as if it were delicious, and finally swallowed it very carefully.

After eating, Chen Mu leaned on an iron shelf, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sleeping.

Zhang Zhiqiang and Lin Qiuyun were also like Chen Mu, closing their eyes and concentrating, only occasionally opening their eyes to look around. And Yu Haitao smiled at the corner of his mouth, listening to the discussion of several newcomers, and next to him, Lin Feng diligently handed over the water.

Half an hour passed quickly, perhaps with some nervousness and excitement, and several newcomers kept chatting. Originally, they were still discussing some things about the island and the mission, but in the end, it was all about what happened before they came here, how they used to work. The two women, Sun Yuelan and Wu Fangfang, even discussed Prada's bags and clothing.

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiqiang first.

Zhang Zhiqiang's eyelids blinked slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as the newcomers talked about his previous jobs and luxuries, as if he was sneering. Obviously, he wasn't really asleep.

A few seconds later than Chen Mu opened her eyes, it was Lin Qiuyun, she first looked around cautiously, and after not finding anything abnormal, she took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and moved her limbs.

With Lin Qiuyun's movements, Zhang Zhiqiang also opened his eyes and stood up.

The newcomers immediately stopped, and everyone stood up.

Zhang Zhiqiang slowly glanced at everyone, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see people through, and the newcomers he saw lowered their heads and did not look at him.

Chen Mu's indifferent gaze met Zhang Zhiqiang, which made Zhang Zhiqiang stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised by Chen Mu's indifference.

However, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at the cave.

"It's almost time, let's get ready to go down."

After speaking, Zhang Zhiqiang tied the rope that had sent the candle into the cave to the iron frame in the wooden house, pulled it hard, and after feeling that the strength was okay, he looked at Yu Haitao and Lin Qiuyun.

Yu Haitao and the others also took out a rope from the watch and tied it to the iron shelf.

Three ropes hung down to the bottom of the cave, and there was a snapping sound of the ropes hitting the ground.

"You, go down first!"

Zhang Zhiqiang's eyes swept over everyone, and he suddenly called names.

Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhiqiang to suddenly call his name. It may be that he looked at Zhang Zhiqiang indifferently just now, but it attracted Zhang Zhiqiang's attention.

Chen Mu didn't refuse, he just nodded, and without asking why, he walked to the entrance of the cave and pulled up a rope.

Lin Qiuyun handed over a flashlight, and Chen Mu took it and put it into the watch space.

Then, Chen Mu wrapped the rope around his waist twice, slowly released the rope in his hand, and slowly descended towards the bottom of the cave.

After Chen Mu arrived at the bottom of the cave, he took out his flashlight and flashed it twice, indicating that he had landed safely.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Zhang Zhiqiang's voice came from above: "The three of them go down together." ”

Then, someone slowly descended from above.

Chen Mu used a flashlight to shine around, a deep hole stretched on one side, and the flashlight could not be illuminated.

The deep cave is very wide, almost a circle of more than two meters in diameter. Judging from the situation in the cave, the traces of man-made excavation here are very obvious, and there are even some wooden pillars erected in the cave, but these pillars have shown signs of decay.

Some dust fell on his head, causing Chen Mu to take two steps towards the deep hole on the side, and he took a breath. The air here is dry, but there is a rotten smell.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly there was an exclamation from above.

Syllable! A man fell from above.
