Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hidden Evil Worm
Lin Sheng knew that he was at a loss, and after Shen Qingming gave him a step, he went down. Shen Qingming sighed and said, looking at Lin Sheng's thief, he was actually a reckless man in his heart, on the contrary, this Xue Xiaojiu was a bit of a brain.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere in the team has eased down, and now everyone knows that they have ghosts in each other's hearts, so there is no need for undercurrent private temptation.
As he walked, Shen Qingming saw that Qin Lan's face was getting more and more wrong, so he asked him, "What's wrong Qin Lan?"
Qin Lan frowned and said, "The current situation is not quite the same as what was arranged before. ”
Shen Qingming said: "Although we all have our own plans, but now the purpose is the same, we all want to enter the interior of Luming Village as soon as possible, is there any secret to hide from us at this time?"
Qin Lanhe revealed: "Secret..... It's not a secret, it was originally planned that someone should be stationed here, ready to pick us up, but now it's empty, where did the response staff go?"
Shen Qingming said: "Although this tunnel is complicated, but to put it bluntly, there is only one passage, since the answering personnel are not here, we didn't see anyone when we came to the front, so most of them ran to the back, right?"
Qin Lan shook his head and said, "The Qin family has always been highly disciplined, and there are few people who neglect their duties. What's more, the stakes are high, and no one will be so bold. ”
Lin Sheng said: "Not here, not in front, not in the back. Could it be that this person disappeared out of thin air?"
"Not necessarily out of thin air, but disappearing is a certainty. Xue Xiaojiu added.
"Could it be a murder in a closed room, oh no, the secret room is missing?" Discussing this kind of question, Xiling suddenly became excited.
Xue Xiaojiu looked like an idiot and cut lightly.
At this time, as the tunnel continues to extend, the load pressure on the power system increases, and now the power system is finally unable to support and begins to gradually decline. The lights on the top of the tunnel flickered and then dimmed.
Originally, it was expected that the tunnel would fall into darkness, but the power system has not completely collapsed as expected, and the lighting system has maintained a minimum of lighting needs. The tunnel was so dim that I could barely see the outlines around it.
Everyone turned on the headlamp lighting of the miner's helmet, Qin Lan turned on the radio to ask outside what was going on, and asked someone outside to quickly solve the problem of the power system, and all that replied to him was a rustling sound. It seems to have gone too far and is out of reach.
"TMD, it's really worse. Qin Lan slammed the radio to the ground viciously and scolded, "Now I can only turn back." ”
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet, what do you see on the ground?" Yang Xu pointed to a place in the light of his headlamp.
Shen Qingming stepped forward and swept away the light ash accumulated on the ground, and found that there were faint reddish-brown traces on the cement floor.
"It's blood. Shen Qingming is very familiar with this.
His gaze followed the trail of blood, which was hard to find, but always trailing, and finally rested behind an iron door.
Shen Qingming looked at the iron door and was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this person was not taken away by the things inside the iron door.
Xiling approached the iron gate, Shen Qingming subconsciously went to stop her, but was pushed away by Xiling with a smile. Xiling said: "What are you afraid of, I can't run, just go and investigate that door, just in terms of the ability to trace and find traces, it seems that only I can be regarded as an expert here." ”
Shen Qingming knew that she was right, and told her, "Be careful." ”
Xiling took out her white gloves and gently lifted the iron chain that wrapped around the door, and before she could make her next move, the chain split in two from the middle and fell to the ground.
She picked up the chain, looked at it for a while, and said: "This chain was cut by some kind of sharp tool, from the analysis of the chain break, the person who cut the chain is about one meter eight tall, right-handed, and has great strength, this person is very anxious when he splits the chain, so that there are many bifurcated scars on the chain break, if this person uses a knife and a sword, it will cause great damage to the sword, indicating that this person has not learned armed fighting skills." Do you have such people there?"
Qin Lan said helplessly: "How do I know, I am not the person in charge of this construction site. ”
"Then we can only assume that this person is our guide. Shen Qingming said, "So this person, for some reason, was forced to hide in the shaft?"
"Do we still have to go into the shaft to find someone?" Lin Sheng asked.
"Why don't you go back here?" Yang Xu interjected, "I don't know what the situation is before, our guide ran into the shaft again in this situation, and now the power system of the tunnel is paralyzed, returning now is the safest choice." ”
Lin Sheng nodded, and even Xue Xiaojiu agreed. Even Qin Lan didn't say anything against it.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, one of the two people who came with Lin Sheng, the man named Wang Ping, suddenly said, "We can't go." ”
"What?" Shen Qingming looked at this person suspiciously.
"In the dark, there is danger. Wang Ping said word by word.
Shen Qingming stared at the darkness behind him, trying to find some dangerous place from it.
Shen Qingming said: "There is no danger, right...... Are you afraid of the dark?"
"Wait, there's something in the dark, listen carefully. Xue Xiaojiu made a silent gesture to silence him.
Shen Qingming shut up and listened carefully, there was a sparse sound in the darkness, as if someone was sweeping the ground with a small brush. He was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood what was happening.
"Yes..... There's bugs!" he said, "The power system is out of order, and the ventilation system is broken." Didn't Qin Lan say that someone else had dug out a kind of insect in the tunnel and wiped out a group of people, and then closed the tunnel and trapped those insects. Now with the damage to the ventilation system, it is likely that that bug has invaded other tunnels through the ventilation ducts. ”
"Hey, you're a clever kid. Yang Xu praised.
"Praise people first put it in the back, it would be bad if the smart head was gnawed off by insects. Qin Lan's expression was solemn, "Hurry up, get out of here, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xue Xiaojiu said: "How do you run? Isn't there a vent in front? Even if you run to the front, you won't be besieged by insects?"
"It seems that we are going to repeat the mistake of receiving people....." Shen Qingming dragged open the iron door, and the inside of the iron door was as dark as the outside, "Maybe we can see the missing guide in a while." ”
Qin Lan said: "This joke can't make people laugh at all. ”
Shen Qingming said embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." ”
"I don't want to have a next time at all...."Lin Sheng secretly said to Xue Xiaojiu, "Stay away from this person, whoever is with him will definitely be unlucky." ”
