Evans and the others stared at us like a play, and when he heard Ai Qingying's curse, he chuckled again, and said sarcastically: "Save your life first, and then kill others?" Overestimate one's strength or oneself! ”

Evans must have been very satisfied in educating us, and he went on to teach: "This is an escalator? There is no imagination at all. Let me tell you, the whole cave we are in is an elevator...... The car, the escalator you call is just a track! I mean that, you know? "Evans saw that we had grown our mouths, and I wasn't sure if I was able to express our Chinese clearly.

I was stunned by what he said, it is unimaginable that there is an escalator-type object in the hidden cave of this barren mountain and old forest, if it is like what he said, the whole cave is a part of an elevator, it is even more terrifying, obviously it cannot be electrically driven here, it should be similar to an ancient mechanism or something like that, but such a technical process and engineering difficulty are large-scale projects in the current civilized society, how can there be such a thing in this inaccessible mountain forest? Why does Evans know so much about this?

These questions swirled in my mind, as uncomfortable as a hundred claws scratching my heart, and I couldn't help but take two steps towards Evans, muffling my voice in an effort to create a bravado momentum, but in the end it was only a timid question: "What is this place?" ”

Du Xin also came over at this time, standing beside me to support me, and his tone remained calm as usual: "Mr. Evans, I don't know why you arrested our companion. She pointed to Liu Yuecheng, who was tied up sturdily on the side, and then said: "But I don't see any harm or help to us, if so, please tell us in detail, and we can be prepared so as not to become a burden to you." In addition, our wounded need to be treated. ”

Evans got up from the stone, took out a thick cigar from his pocket and sniffed it under his nose, then put the cigar back in his pocket, looked at Du Xin and me for a while, and then looked at the others and said, "A few minutes, let me popularize some common sense to you rookies - do you know about the 'Skytrain Incident' back then?" ”

On the mountain road last night, Ai Qingying mentioned this incident, this incident was widely reported, and the momentum was very loud, almost everyone knew about it, we heard Evans mention this matter, we couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at him with suspicion, can this unsolved case from seventeen years ago be related to us now? Seventeen years! It occurred to me that Evans had mentioned that he had been preparing for this for seventeen years!

Seeing us nodding, Evans no longer explained what happened, but threw out a very explosive news: "The cause of that incident may be here!" ”

Such a few words, but like a bomb thrown into the water, stirred up turbulent waves in everyone's hearts, this kind of discovery, like digging up the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and discovering the captive living dragon, people are surprised and shocked, I can't believe it.

"It's in the suburbs of the provincial capital, and it's in Anshun, it's a lot of distance!" Cao Ye was very skeptical, as if he felt that this foreigner was too imaginative, how many years of unsolved mysteries were discovered by this foreign devil?

"The shipwreck of your flying ship in Poyang Lake, can't it also appear in Black Cat Ridge?" Evans sneered, mocking Cao Ye's so-called reason, which surprised us again, he really knew everything about us.

"Isn't that Skytrain a flying saucer and an alien? Is this an alien base? "Black Mole" interjected excitedly, for him, there is no possibility, only stimulation is not stimulating, and now he is helping Liang San to stop the bleeding with one hand, while shouting.

"Don't talk about aliens for everything, there is no strange thing now, it is really related to aliens, and the Roswell incident is even more so, it is all a lie." Evans is very dismissive of the speculation of "black mole": "Even if there are aliens, the probability of intersecting with people is almost zero." ”

"Why?" "Black Mole" is really studious, and his interest in this kind of whimsical thing is ridiculously great, even stronger than Ai Qingying.

"According to the length of human civilization and the scale of the universe, the possibility of contact between different life forms is much lower than the chance of two people on two sides of the earth, each hiking for a lifetime. The so-called unidentified contacts and UFOs are basically all fake. Cao Ye explained.

"Black Mole" was disappointed, but I was not ready to let him pull the topic further and further, so I quickly stopped him, and then asked Evans eagerly: "What happened to the air train incident back then, and you came here for it this time?" ”

Evans didn't answer me, just said lightly, "I just want to tell you that surprise should be the norm here, there's a long way to go, and you need to be prepared - I need you." ”

We were shocked by the information leaked by Evans in just a few words, and the stunned and speechless look made him enjoy it very much, so he even took the initiative to point at Liang San and said: "Small injury, it's better if the knife is not pulled out, and the blood flow is less." ”

Du Xin replied first, and said angrily: "I'm a doctor, I know if the injury is serious!" She pointed to the scar-faced man who was gritting his teeth and medicating his wounds, and said loudly, "Your people are people, aren't we?" ”

Evans's last sentence said that we are needed, and I can't guess what kind of need method is, but at least I can get some conditions, so I stepped forward and said to him tentatively: "I don't know what you want to do, but since you said that you need our help, it must not be good for you to have someone killed or injured, even if you move things, you have less strength, and besides, when people are insecure, sometimes they will be desperate." ”

With that, I looked at Evans sweatingly, waiting for the results. He was half a head taller than me, staring down at me, staring at my involuntary eyes, he suddenly smiled and said to the scar-faced man, "Coyote, give them a medical kit." ”

The scar-faced man over there was originally nicknamed "Coyote", and he was slightly stunned, but without any hesitation, he took out a medical bag from his backpack and threw it to Du Xin, just snorting heavily.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Evans, "Thank you." He dusted his shoulders with his hands, as if he hadn't heard, and said, "This is coming." ”

As if to verify his words, after a few minutes, there was a muffled click, and we felt the ground under our feet shake slightly, and then we looked at the ramp that kept spitting out from the narrow gap, and it was no longer moving, if the whole ramp was the track, did it mean that the cave we were in had descended to the bottom?

Evans straightened his clothes at this time and ordered: "When it comes, start moving, and remember, no one is allowed to use fire, and all hot objects!" He looked at us who were huddled together to bandage Liang San, and emphatically emphasized: "You are using a flare gun here, this is a fatal mistake, if you want to live, remember my request!" Do not use fire. Let's go! ”

Maybe it was because he thought that our combat effectiveness was low and he couldn't cope with sudden accidents, or maybe he was worried that we would escape in the dark, Evans ordered his men to surround the eight of us in the middle in a semi-fan shape, and he and the scar-faced man personally escorted Liu Yuecheng to follow at the end, I suddenly thought of the way those fluorescent crabs escorted the group of snakes forward just now, the situation was very similar to now, and I couldn't help but laugh a little, but we people don't have the fangs of poisonous snakes, so we can't resist.

For convenience, we were also assigned two flashlights for lighting, and for a while, nearly ten field flashlights shot out in all directions, pointing to the darkness all around, looking at it from a distance, it must be like a bean lamp on a dark and rainy night, very small, and may be extinguished in the endless darkness at any time.

The ground here is very flat, but covered with a thick layer of fine black and white grains, much like sand; It is also quite soft to step on, and if you exert a little force, you will often sink an inch or two, and your feet feel like the beach by the sea, and it is very physically demanding to walk. Especially Liang San, a strong man with a bit of Zhang Fei or Li Kui's temperament, was only wearing a pair of disposable slippers given to him by Cao Ye, and he weighed a lot, and every time he lifted his feet, he brought a pile of sand, sprinkled with it, which was very laborious, he angrily stabbed the only big flower pants on his body a few times, tore off two strips of fine cloth from the hem of his trousers, wrapped them around his feet, and then raised his feet and shook them at us with a smile.

Over and over again, I wondered what we would encounter on our way. Is it a vicious trap or a bizarre creature? When I was thinking wildly, my nose smelled a smell, and I said in my heart that Liang San's feet were too smelly, and I could smell it two or three meters away? But I immediately realized that this was not the smell of feet, but a faint bitter smell of herbs and trees, which came and went, sour, astringent and bitter at first, but then I could smell the slightest fragrance, like the smell of squeezed plant juice.

The scent is intermittent, then indifferent, sometimes violent, sometimes long, sometimes short. Smelling and smelling, there is a little sadness in my heart, as if walking on the boundless grassland, from time to time I encounter small patches of ponds, which are the remnants of the lake after shrinking, the saline-alkali ground of the white flowers in the middle reflects the bright light, the wind blows, the grass is low, there are no cattle and sheep, only the black animal bones are scattered, and the occasional crow that flies up from illness, the sad and desolate mood from the little to the huge, slowly condensed into despair filled with heaven and earth, tears like a thief with a burden want to go out of the window, Escape from this oppressive and miserable world.

"Brother." Cao Ye called me next to him, this time he unexpectedly adopted a very affectionate title, and his voice was very low: "Why did you participate in this expedition?" "I immediately had a look in my mind, and I almost blurted it out, but the strong sense of shame made everything heavy, and I just opened my mouth and didn't make a sound.
