Chapter 242: Cave in the Ground
We quietly approached the stone, but there was still no movement behind it at this time, Zhang Ye gave the two of us a look, and in an instant, the figure flickered, and the whole person rushed behind the stone, but then let out a low cry of surprise-
"Huh? How come there is nothing? ”
Hearing his words, Ansari and I immediately rushed forward, only to find that the stone was empty, and there was not even a single figure.
A few of us looked at each other, and we didn't know what was going on, but we saw it clearly just now, and a black shadow disappeared in a flash here, what was going on, it couldn't be that we were dazzled together, right?
But Ansari looked under the stone and whispered, "There's a hole here." ”
We hurriedly walked over, and saw that there was really a hole about half a meter wide under the stone, and the inside was so black that if you didn't look carefully in the dark, you wouldn't notice it at all.
"Did that guy get in just now?" I was surprised, but this speed is too fast, such a small hole, even if I were allowed to get into it, I'm afraid it would take some effort and time, but we just rushed over, and it was only a few seconds
"Maybe it's some kind of animal in the desert." I explained, "Rattlesnakes, for example? ”
Zhang Ye glanced at me: "Does your rattlesnake need such a big hole?" ”
When I thought about it, this hole of more than half a meter could not be a snake hole
We were all puzzled for a moment, wondering what other animals in the desert lived in such caves and could make such strange noises.
At this moment, the person next to the fire suddenly stood up, and only one person said, "Where is Lao Liang?" ”
Everyone immediately ran over, and I looked at Lao Pan and said, "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”
Lao Pan's face was a little wrong, and said: "Just now we were talking, a black shadow was standing behind Lao Liang, I didn't pay attention at the time, I thought it was one of you, and when I looked at it after a while, Lao Liang was actually gone, and there was no place for him." ”
Immediately afterwards, Lu Haikong also came over, gathered everyone together, counted it, and sure enough, Lao Liang was missing, and then my heart moved, and said: "The black shadow that entered the cave just now, could it be Lao Liang?" ”
Lao Pan seemed more anxious, because that Lao Liang was one of his buddies, he was already observing the hole with Zhang Ye, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Lao Liang has no reason, what are you doing in this hole, it's impossible, unless"
He suddenly paused, looked at us and said, "Who were you standing behind Lao Liang just now?" ”
Several of us shook our heads, Lao Pan's face sank, and he shouted: "It's not good, he should have let that black shadow drag it away, it's probably right down here." ”
When he said this, I immediately understood, this is very likely, it is precisely because someone forcibly dragged it from below, so it disappeared so quickly.
But what is that black shadow, how could it be under the noses of more than a dozen people, silently dragging a big living person away?
That old Liang, why didn't he even say a word, and the person disappeared?
We all looked into the deep cave, but we all looked at each other, such a narrow hole, if there was really something powerful underneath, I am afraid that we would go down and die one by one.
Lu Haikong said almost without thinking: "Come on a few people, dig this hole immediately, and the others surround it to prevent anything from escaping, and then divide three people to guard around." ”
He gave an order in an instant, and I couldn't help but secretly applaud, if these things make me think, I'm afraid it will take a few minutes to discuss before they can be arranged, but Lu Haikong made a decision in an instant, and this judgment and decisiveness are a few points more powerful than Lao Pan.
Now everyone is led by Lu Haikong, naturally no one does not listen to his words, and these people are also trained for a long time, and immediately three people began to dig the hole, three people scattered in all directions, but they were only a few meters away from each other, and the others were around the hole, ready to take cover at any time, and block what might escape inside.
The entrance of the cave is soft sand, a moment of effort to dig more than two meters wide, at this time there began to be a special smell inside, the smell is very pungent, and there is a bit of fishy smell, with a flashlight to see, it is still a black one, can only see a tunnel straight to the depths, but nothing can be seen.
Zhang Ye stepped forward to check it, gestured again, and said: "This tunnel should lead to the belly of the mountain, the entrance of the cave is sand, but there are stones underneath, and the wind blows out, indicating that there is an exit, Pan Ye, you can go down." ”
Lao Pan nodded, and asked Lu Haikong again: "My opinion is that there are five people going down, and the others are guarding it, what do you think?" ”
Lu Haikong thought about it this time, and then said: "Okay, go down five people first, the others wait on it, keep in touch with the walkie-talkie at any time, and if there is no movement after forty minutes, all the others will go down to answer." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the guide Tug again, Tuge's face was already ugly, his eyes were uncertain, Lu Haikong smiled at him, and said: "Don't be afraid, you and Li Dong stay on it, if no one comes out after dawn, you will return immediately, this mission fails, and there is no need to send someone to find us, understand?" ”
Li Dong hesitated: "Master Lu, do you, do you really want to take the whole team in order to find one person?" ”
Lu Haikong's face sank: "What are you talking about, everyone in the team is our brother, any one less is a great loss to us, at this time, if you don't save others now, when you are in danger, who will save you?" ”
Lu Haikong's words made Li Dong speechless, and Lu Haikong said again: "Besides, this place is not far from Wolf Juxu Mountain, this hill is also connected to there, we have just arrived here now, there is no clue, go down from this cave, maybe there will be another harvest, okay, time is urgent, the first group, who will go down first?" ”
We looked at each other, and soon determined the candidates, since the missing Lao Liang was Lao Pan's men, so the first group was led by Zhang Ye, plus Ansali, and there was also a guy from Lao Pan's side, and two people under Lu Haikong, a total of five people, and began to go down to the cave.
I looked at this lineup and was relieved, this is basically our stronger here, and Zhang Ye took the lead at the moment, and several people entered the cave one after another, and after a while, they finally disappeared in front of us one after another.
I was still nervous at first, but after a few people went in, after about ten minutes, there was still nothing unusual, but the flashlight was getting farther and farther away from us, and after a while, I couldn't see anything.
However, we still did not relax our vigilance, Lu Haikong said: "Everyone pay attention, this place is full of stones, it is difficult to ensure that there is no such passage under other stones, now everyone should not disperse, converge, Li Dong, you go and drive the car over." ”
Li Dong answered, and drove the off-road vehicle over, and we got into the car one after another, not far from the entrance of the cave, staring around, the gun loaded, the knife out of the sheath, vigilant for the situation that may arise at any time.
In this way, time passed little by little, but there was no sound in the cave, Lu Haikong held the walkie-talkie in his hand, but he did not speak, but after about ten minutes, there was no signal from below.
I couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It's been a long time since they've been down, do you want to ask?" ”
Lu Haikong shook his head slightly: "Wait a minute, if they are quietly approaching something at this time, the sudden sound will expose them." ”
I understood what he meant, and just a few minutes later, a hurried voice suddenly came over the intercom.
"I ask for support, I ask for support, immediately, quickly, all of this"
This voice sounded a little unfamiliar, but it came to an abrupt end here, and Lu Haikong shouted: "Situ, Situ, continue to report your location, what did you encounter?" ”
But on the other end of the walkie-talkie, there was no sound, and at the same time, we heard a strange bell sound from the walkie-talkie.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
