After walking not far on the concrete floor of the tunnel, Shen Qingming felt completely out of touch with the outside world. The air, the wind, and the light outside were all gone, and everyone's breath was heavy with the smell of rust.

After going deeper, everyone fell silent, and no one spoke. Shen Qingming's gaze roamed left and right, observing the situation inside the tunnel. The tunnel is surrounded by solid concrete walls, with a ventilation hole every few dozen steps to maintain air circulation, and wires as thick as a small arm are tied on all sides to supply power to all kinds of electrical appliances in the tunnel, and if these wires are disconnected, the entire huge tunnel system will be scrapped.

He also noticed that there were a number of iron gates around the tunnel, all of which were blocked by chains, and it was impossible to guess what they were doing for a while.

Qin Lan glanced at Shen Qingming and said, "This tunnel is not only for the purpose of penetrating the ground to the bottom of Luming Village, but also for the mission of opening shafts around the area and assessing the surrounding environment. These doors are the entrances to the shaft, but don't be too curious, these doors are locked, these are abandoned shafts. ”

Listening to his words, Shen Qingming estimated by himself, the big pit is about ten meters long, the starting point of this tunnel is ten meters below the sea level, not to mention that he feels that this tunnel is extending downward, his location is about thirty meters underground, and a shaft is being drilled thirty meters underground, is this to dig oil?

Qin Lan looked at him and said, "You don't believe me." ”

"That's too straightforward, isn't it? Xue Xiaojiu said on the side.

"It's a little bit. Shen Qingming said.

"Tsk, no wonder. Qin Lan said self-deprecatingly, "In your eyes, I'm just a bad person, it would be much more convenient if Young Master Qin was willing to give me command, but now we are companions, not a relationship between upper and lower commands, you can relax a little." ”

Shen Qingmingxin said that this person has a lot of, and he is a good object of speech, and he can knock out a little information from his mouth.

After making a plan, he walked into Qin Lan, and was just about to speak when Qin Lan stopped him, Qin Lan said, "You don't have to come over and laugh at me, it's better to save some saliva and keep you to show your words." ”

This sentence shows that Qin Lan is still wary of herself, and she has investigated her background.

In this case, it is not suitable for Shen Qingming to pretend to be a little white rabbit again. He changed his tone and said, "I'm not interested in your family affairs, I only care about what our work is and how it should be done." ”

Qin Lan said casually: "Walking out of this tunnel and entering Luming Village, didn't your boss tell you?"

"It won't be that simple, if you just want to enter Luming Village, why dig five tunnels? If I'm not mistaken, the other people who came with us are also moving forward in other tunnels now, right?" Shen Qingming said toughly, "Since you think we are partners, then tell us the real purpose." ”

Here Shen Qingming used the technique of speech, since he had already investigated himself, then he would make an expected judgment about his character. His tough negotiation here would disrupt Qin Lan's previous expected judgment on himself.

Qin Lan obviously didn't expect Shen Qingming to be so tough, and said in a soft tone: "There are indeed some things that I haven't told you, but they are all small sections that have nothing to do with the overall situation, don't care." The Shadow Moon Spiritual Disaster has led to changes in the landform around Luming Village, and its impact has penetrated deep into the earth. Now this is not the ordinary solid land you usually see, but many lands are like bubbles in the water, one by one hollow and trapped in the earth. - For example, if you've all shaken a soda, it will make the soda bubble. Now the Shadow Moon Spiritual Plague is equivalent to you shaking the soda, the soda is this land, and the bubbles inside are the new land structure formed by the catastrophe, we call it the Dead Land. ”

Shen Qingming's heart said that the Shadow Moon Spirit Disaster was actually so terrifying? I didn't feel it at all at that time.

"These tunnels are avoiding the complex dead places in the wrong, and the construction of these tunnels is to avoid those dead places. Qin Lan said, "How?

Shen Qingming looked at his eyes, the ability of the warlock could allow him to easily tell whether a person was lying or telling the truth, Qin Lan was telling the truth.

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" Shen Qingming asked again.

Hiding harmless truths, which in itself is puzzling. If you want to get something useful out of the truth, you have to chase it like a wild dog chasing a bone.

Qin Lan said: "This is what the young master of the Qin court meant, until ....."

Speaking of this, Qin Lan suddenly shut up.

Shen Qingming asked, "Until what?"

"I don't tell you until you ask, and if you have any complaints, I'll complain to our young master when I go out. Qin Lan said.

Lie. Shen Qingming began to think about why he was lying here.

Shen Qingming changed the direction of attack: "Let's talk about the place of death? I'm still quite curious." ”

Qin Lan said: "Dead land, on the surface, it looks like the bubble of the earth's hollow, but in fact, there are many unexpected things hidden in the hollow bubble. The energy of the Shadow Moon erupted to concretize many strange things, and those embodied things were sealed in the dead ground. ”

"Strange things?" Shen Qingming asked, "What's strange?"

"We've dug up a bubble so far, and we've been damaging to the contents to this day. There is a strange kind of bug living in it, eating human flesh and bones, and those bugs burst out and directly devour everyone present, and no one is spared. Qin Lan said this, her expression suddenly became serious, "Do you understand, no one is spared." We sealed the tunnel just to be safe, but there were still bugs scurrying through the ventilation ducts to the other tunnels. For today's action, we have temporarily closed the ventilation system here to prevent us from being disturbed. ”

Bugs? He remembered the dead worker at once. Which tunnel did the worker come from?

Qin Lan warned them: "We have to pass through here as soon as possible, otherwise we will suffocate in the tunnel." ”

Xiling's frightened little face turned pale, Xue Xiaojiu also had a bloodless face, and both of them were frightened by Qin Lan's description.

The man who had been standing behind Lin Sheng said disdainfully: "If you are so cowardly, what kind of tunnel will you go down with us." ”

Lin Sheng said: "Rude!"

The man seemed to be very disobedient and turned his head in disdain.

"Oh, yes, it seems that we have just started on the road, and we have a lot of conflicts. Lin Sheng said.

Shen Qingming echoed: "Just like last time?"

"It seems that the Qin family's squad is indeed very strange in allocating candidates, right?" Shen Qingming sighed meaningfully, "The Qin family, the Lin family, the Xue family, and four outsiders, it seems that this expedition will not be boring." ”

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Don't think about the same as last time." ”

Qin Lan said: "Absolutely not." ”
