I was stunned for a moment and asked the conductor, "How long does it take to cross this mountain?" ”

"More than two hours. When it's dark, you can't see the road, this road goes around the mountain, and the car can't go fast. The fat woman explained slightly.

I'm like a fire in my heart now, let alone two hours, I can't wait for two minutes. I immediately said to the fat woman, "Is there a hotel on the road ahead?" I'm going to make a phone call, urgent. ”

The fat woman thought for a moment and said, "There is one, not far away." But don't delay too long, we'll be waiting for you in a car. ”

I said, "Don't wait, I'll just stay, you just drop me." ”

The fat woman immediately said, "How can this work, what is this if we dump the customer or what." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she was thinking. "That's my reason, and I don't have to refund the car money."

Hearing this, the fat woman was relieved. Not long after, a dim light appeared on the side of the road, and the driver parked the car under the light, and I saw that it was a small two-story bamboo and wood building, and a lamp hung outside the building, shining on a mottled signboard: Hotel. It's really simple and straightforward.

The driver pressed the car horn for a while, and when the fat man and I got out of the car, the door of the bamboo building opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out, obviously dressed in Yao costumes, indigo as the main tone of the diagonal cardigan, embroidered with various colors of horizontal twill, and the headdress looked like a piece of floral cloth.

I walked over and first asked her if she had a phone, and only after getting a reply that she had a phone number did I tell her that we were going to stay. The bus didn't stop for long, and the fat man and I roared on the road.

There were not many guests in the hotel, so I rushed to the phone in a hurry, and the fat man was lying on the counter of the wooden shop to check in. I have the number of Jack's call on my phone, and I dial it to see if it's a busy tone, press it to replay it, or it's a busy signal. Looks like Jack is also constantly calling me. After a long time, the phone finally got through.

"Who's in? Is it Xiao Ting? "I couldn't wait to ask this question that was my biggest concern.

"No, of course not. She was with me. Jack explained.

I felt a stone fall to the ground in my heart. These ten or twenty minutes are too difficult, and I feel like I'm in collapse when I hear this.

"Who's that going in? That student of Xiao Guolin? When I asked this, my tone was much more relaxed and my thinking was less confused. It's called care, it's chaos.

"Where are you now? Why did it drop just now? There's nothing wrong with you, is there? "Looks like Jack is feeling something is wrong.

I had to tell the truth. "There's something wrong with our side, too." Then, I gave a little bit of a general idea about the situation on our side. "Song Gang and I are now heading to Yunnan, where we plan to cross the border into Myanmar and Vietnam via Laos or Thailand. We found a contact person for Xiao Guolin, who may be in Myanmar. It is possible that Xiao Guolin has infiltrated Vietnam from the Sino-Vietnamese border, and with this information, Song Gang and I plan to go to Vietnam to find out the exact news. It's not going to be short, what's going on over there? ”

I don't dare to talk deeply about the situation on our side, there are too many loopholes, and if I talk too much, I will definitely show my feet, so I immediately turned the topic to his side. Of course, I won't go over to meet them right away, and bring out Xiao Guolin's contact, a non-existent figure, just to find an excuse for the future expenses of half a million dollars.

"We're in such a mess here, several teams are gathered here, at least two teams are going through the blockade. I'm in the process of reaching out to them to see if I can get some information from them. “

I don't think I have enough brains, maybe it's the sequelae of a concussion, and I can't react to Jack's words for a while. "What do you mean by that? What are the teams of people, are they official searchers? Xiao Guolin: That student wasn't with you? Didn't he take part in the search operation? He must know these people. "I threw a barrage of questions at Jack.

Jack first burst a sentence of Henan-flavored national scolding, and then said: "No, Xiao Guolin's students also came with us, he doesn't know these people, I do." They have been staring at this for a long time, but they didn't expect them to move so fast, what a bunch of insatiable wolves. ”

I rubbed my swollen head and cautiously asked, "Who are they?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. "Like us, some independent archaeological organizations."

"Oh." I pretended to understand and said, "Then they have the same purpose as yours, right?" ”

"Yes, it shouldn't be any different."

"And what is our purpose?" I threw this crucial question.

"Can't say it on the phone." Jack replied crisply. "I'm not going to hide this from you, but I have to tell it to your face. I hope you understand. ”

"Does Xiao Ting know about this?" I asked.

"No, I'll just let you know, and you have to promise not to tell the fat man about it." There was obvious hostility towards the fat man in Jack's tone.

Frankly, I didn't intend to hide this from the fat man, no matter how secretive it was. If you hurt the fat man because you concealed important information, you will have nowhere to regret it when the time comes. I even had the idea of solving the problem here and sneaking into Wutongliang to get real information from the other teams. I'd rather trust fat people than Jack.

"What information did Xiao Guolin's students provide? How can he be with you? I immediately changed the subject.

"There is an important message. Xiao Guolin and his team of more than 30 people entered the underground together, only the six people who followed Xiao Guolin disappeared at the same time, and the others were attacked by unknown creatures and exited the underground passage. The problem now is that the entrance to the underground passage has disappeared, and the search he participated in was looking for the entrance to the passage. ”

"Where did it disappear? The entrance to the underground is still there, where does this entrance lead? I asked anxiously.

Jack and I have different understandings of this issue. I've experienced the weirdness of this passage firsthand, and although there are many things I can't understand, I've been able to accept it. As long as I know where this entrance leads, I can tell the approximate location of this place underground, after all, I have been trapped in the underground passage for days, and I can almost feel the situation in the passage.

"Herein lies the problem." Jack's words were full of helplessness. "The day after the personnel attacked by the unknown creature withdrew from the underground passage, the entrance to the underground disappeared. According to Xiao Guolin's students, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of this passage, and in order to prevent unknown creatures from coming out to hurt people, a fence was built at the entrance, a separation ditch was dug, and soldiers were on guard 24 hours a day. The base camp of the working group was built around this entrance. In front of everyone's eyes, the entrance to the shaft, which was five meters in diameter, disappeared, as if by magic, and turned into a flat land. ”

"Where is this entrance?" Although I listened creepily, I insisted on asking my questions.

"He said it was near a Yadan landform group."

"Is it the location of the first archaeology?"

"I don't know, he doesn't know. Coordinates were not provided. ”
