Chapter 35: The Sinkhole
Instructor Tang woke up slowly, and when he saw Zhou Xiaofei, he immediately looked excited, and his lips squirmed: "Ya...... Happy...... Sky...... ...... pit" and fainted again.
Zhou Xiaofei took out his mobile phone and handed it to Platoon Commander Jiang, signaling him to call and report. Platoon Commander Jiang took his mobile phone and looked at it, "There is no signal." ”
Platoon Commander Jiang took out a green-shell mobile phone from his backpack and raised it towards Zhou Xiaofei: "Military satellite phone." ”
Platoon Commander Jiang turned on the phone and made a phone call, and reported on the phone for a long time. Then he handed the mobile phone to Zhou Xiaofei and said, "There is a chief looking for you." ”
Zhou Xiaofei took the phone, and a majestic voice came from the phone: "Comrade Zhou Xiaofei, I am Yu Zhaoxian, director of the Ninth Division of National Security, the first and ninth teams of the C-level were ordered to go to the Yale Tiankeng to carry out their tasks, and all of them disappeared four days ago. Liu Yun and Coco Li went to check yesterday and have also disappeared. I want you to go looking for them, would you?"
"I do!"
"Good. However, because the Paradise Mine belongs to the junction of the three countries, you can only go there as an individual, and everything you do in the Paradise Mine has nothing to do with the country, it is your personal behavior. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaofei knew that even if something happened to him, the state would not recognize his actions and identity.
There was silence on the phone, and the voice rang again, and the voice was high-pitched: "Comrade Zhou Xiaofei, I wish you a successful completion of your mission and your return, and the country will not forget you! I will send someone to indicate the location to you." ”
Then an emotion came: "Lao Lin has given birth to a good son! Ask Platoon Commander Jiang to answer the phone. ”
Platoon Commander Jiang took the phone and talked for a while.
Zhou Xiaofei couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Director Yu's emotion. Director Yu is hinting that he has a good relationship with the Lin family, at least he will not cheat him. The green stone may be the target.
Platoon Commander Jiang said to Zhou Xiaofei: "Comrade Zhou Xiaofei, I will take you to the Yale Tiankeng immediately." ”
Zhou Xiaofei waved his hand and said, "You just need to indicate the direction, and I'll go by myself." Instructor Tang will be taken care of by you. ”
He wants to speed up, so naturally it is faster to go alone.
"Don't worry, our people will be coming soon. After speaking, he began to indicate the direction for Zhou Xiaofei, and Zhou Xiaofei also called Xiaolong over to listen together.
The Asian Paradise Mine is about 30 miles away in a straight line in the southwest of Wangxiang Village, where there are sinkholes, dozens of large and small sinkholes, and the largest and deepest in the middle is the Asian Paradise Sinkhole. It is the junction of China, Myanmar and China, and is inaccessible due to its location in the primeval forest.
Zhou Xiaofei asked Xiaolong to fly over first to find the Asian Paradise Pit, and he then rushed there.
The little dragon whistled, spread its wings, and flew southwest.
Zhou Xiaofei unfolded his footwork, his body was like electricity, and he rushed out of the distance. There was a strange beauty in the forest at dusk, and an afterimage flashed several times in the light of dusk and disappeared.
Platoon Commander Jiang, Xiao Wang, and Da Ming looked at Zhou Xiaofei's extraordinary travel speed in a daze, and muttered, "What a god!"
The straight-line distance and the actual distance may be several times or more than ten times worse. Zhou Xiaofei tried his best to maintain his spiritual power, and if his spiritual power was depleted, it would take a long time for his body to recover naturally. Therefore, Zhou Xiaofei would rather take more detours than easily consume spiritual power.
If it was thirty miles on flat land, Zhou Xiaofei would only take thirty minutes, and now it took Zhou Xiaofei a full night to reach the edge of the largest sinkhole and join Xiaolong.
Xiaolong was already impatient to wait, and said to Zhou Xiaofei: "Quickly take out the delicious food and treat me." ”
Zhou Xiaofei took out some fruits and high-calorie canned food to eat with Xiaolong. Then I meditated and rested for another hour.
Zhou Xiaofei said to Xiaolong: "You go to the front to investigate, let's go down?"
Zhou Xiaofei rose into the air and fell to the bottom of the pit.
Zhou Xiaofei observed the situation at the bottom of the sinkhole while he was in the air. In the sinkhole, there is a large primeval forest, full of greenery, and the trees are so tall that you can't see the edge at a glance.
Zhou Xiaofei didn't know where to go when he fell to the bottom of the pit, if he blindly ran around, he couldn't find Liu Yun and the others at all.
Zhou Xiaofei found a random place to sit down and let Xiaolong fly around to check. Zhou Xiaofei sat for an hour, and Xiaolong came back.
Xiaolong found the fresh fruit somewhere, and said while gnawing: "Xiaofei, you treat me as a long-term worker, I'm too tired, I want to rest." ”
Zhou Xiaofei ignored his nagging and asked, "Found a clue?"
"It's boring. The little dragon leaned against a low tree with his head in his paws and said lazily.
Zhou Xiaofei stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
Xiaolong flew up and lay on Zhou Xiaofei's shoulder and said, "There are two rivers further west, and there should be people downstream along the rivers." ”
Zhou Xiaofei followed Xiaolong's guidance and saw a river, the river was thirty or forty meters wide, the current was not very fast, and the river was flowing to the east. Xiaolong said that there was another such river on the west side of the river.
After walking along the river for two hours, there were human voices in front of me. Zhou Xiaofei swept his consciousness and found that there were six men and two women in this team, a total of eight people, all of whom were Caucasian. With a hot weapon in his hand, he hurried forward. The eight people are scattered in a diamond shape, protecting each other, and the experience is very sophisticated.
Zhou Xiaofei didn't want to alarm them, so he quietly followed. The eight marched fast and were clearly well trained.
After walking along the river for an hour, the water suddenly became turbulent, and a rumbling sound could be faintly heard ahead.
The eight of them walked for a while, stopped to discuss, continued to walk, and disappeared after a while.
Originally, this place was a karst cave entrance, because the riverbed has a drop of more than ten meters, the water flow is pouring down like a waterfall, because of the quiet water around the sound is particularly huge and far away.
Zhou Xiaofei also followed, the cave was very deep, extending down the underground river.
Originally, the sinkhole was very dark, and the cave was even darker, and the eight people in front had already taken out tactical flashlights to illuminate it.
The cave is rocky and the visibility is not high, so the travel speed is very slow. After Zhou Xiaofei practiced qi, his vision was extremely far, and he had a panoramic view of the surrounding environment. It's just that this speed of travel makes him very anxious, but there is nothing he can do for the time being.
After traveling like this for more than an hour, Zhou Xiaofei couldn't help but move in his heart and found a stone to hide.
The eight people in front of them could travel far in the dark because of the beam irradiated by the flashlight. In front of the eight people came the sound of grunting voices, as if warnings and negotiations. Since Zhou Xiaofei doesn't know foreign languages, he doesn't know what it means. Swept away, it turned out to be a ninja of the Japanese Kingdom negotiating with a tall figure among the eight people.
They exchanged meetings, the big white man waved his hand back, and the eight of them followed the Japanese ninja to the depths, and Zhou Xiaofei hurriedly followed.
A few minutes later, Zhou Xiaofei saw that there was a fire burning on the bank of the river, and there were about ten black-clothed ninjas and one white-clothed ninja sitting around.
The underground river passing through here has flattened, and here is a sandy beach with a large area.
The ninja in white walked out and exchanged with the tall white man, shook hands with each other, as if reaching some kind of agreement, and then they each gathered in a heap, the tall white man gestured, and a man and a woman walked out of their respective positions and entered the guard position.
Zhou Xiaofei patted the little dragon and commanded in a low voice, and the little dragon flew deep into the depths, silently.
Zhou Xiaofei also took the opportunity to rest and ate some dry food and water.
