Volume IV Third Floor. Village Chapter 145: The Closed Cave
"Presentation ······"
Surrounded by the villagers, Gu Qingzhi, who had nowhere to escape, threw away the machete in his hand without a little resistance, and his companions followed him and threw the weapon in his hand to the ground.
Chen Qing was very satisfied with Gu Qingzhi's knowledge of current affairs, he raised his eyebrows proudly, and instructed the respectful villagers around him: "Take them down the mountain, lock them up, and wait for the village chief to wake up tomorrow before deciding on the way of punishment." ”
Tang Ling didn't know anything about the fact that Gu Qingzhi and the others, who had been separated, had been caught by the villagers, and she was now busy regaining her energy to explore this cave.
"Don't you feel scared? Looking at your high spirits, it looks like you're looking forward to entering this cave. Liu Ruyan, who was beside her, felt a little curious when she saw Tang Ling's focused appearance, and then deliberately made a gloomy appearance to intimidate her, "It's hard that the two of us won't be able to get out again after we go in!" ”
Tang Ling was a little speechless at Liu Ruyan's obvious behavior of coaxing a child, she didn't want to pay attention to Liu Ruyan's jokes at all, and stretched out her hand towards Liu Ruyan, staring at the flashlight she was holding in her hand: "Give me the flashlight, you have a mobile phone to illuminate, and the two of us will take a tool to light up." ”
"Yo, you've been very careful, and you know what lighting tools I have." Liu Ruyan didn't say much, and directly threw the flashlight in his hand to Tang Ling, then turned on He Chuan's mobile phone and pressed the light of the flashlight in the mobile phone system to illuminate.
It was pitch black, and there was a strange sound in the woods from time to time, it was too gloomy, Tang Ling didn't want to stay in place for a long time at all, but it seemed that it was much more difficult than she imagined to enter the cave so bravely. Tang Ling held a flashlight, looking at the cave in front of her like a giant beast with a bloody mouth waiting for her to throw herself into the net, the free hand kept rubbing the handle of the knife Gu Qingzhi gave her, Tang Ling closed her eyes and took a deep breath, one after another, her mood always rose again when she thought she would go down after exhaling, Tang Ling didn't know how long she had been in such a weird deep breathing pattern, anyway, after she had lost count of how many times she had taken a deep breath, Tang Ling dared to open her eyes firmly, swallowed the saliva secreted from her mouth, and blinked her eyes several times in a row, before she walked back towards the cave that had not yet been explored.
Liu Ruyan beside her felt a little funny about Tang Ling's series of actions, while the person in front of her was focusing on adjusting her emotions and state, Liu Ruyan didn't know how many rolls her eyes, her arm holding the stick seemed to be falling apart, shaking at will, and her head was also shaking, the person who was still smiling at Tang Ling just now gradually felt bored, Liu Ruyan yawned, deflated her mouth, scratched the new acne on her face with her nails for a while, and buttoned the debris on her scalp that was not washed off for a while. Then he glanced at the residue left between his fingernails, and then bounced into the air.
Finally after Tang Ling mustered up his morale and walked to the cave, Liu Ruyan raised his hands and stretched a comfortable waist, and then followed Tang Ling into the cave with brisk steps.
"Didi, Click!"
A few minutes ago, Tang Ling simply thought that although there were a few strong boys in their current team, they would not have any big accidents if they just entered this cave and simply wandered around, or no matter how bad they were, they just groped in the cave closest to the entrance of the cave.
People always like to take risks with a fluke mentality, let alone on the premise of experience.
So when Tang Ling watched the slowly closing doors that suddenly appeared at both ends of the cave entrance, she clearly knew that no matter how fast she ran now, or even if she could put on her wings and fly at this moment, she would not be able to successfully leave the cave a second before the gate closed.
Standing in the darkness, Tang Ling watched the ridiculously scarce light source in her hand shine on the closed door, she actually wanted to let out a sigh of admiration for Liu Ruyan at such a helpless moment: this really made her joking prophecy come true, and the two of them couldn't get out after they came in!
Alas······
Tang Ling covered her face, she couldn't tell whether it was a condemnation of her naïve thoughts or a sigh for her reckless stupidity, but for the first time she had an urge to slap herself urgently, after all, it was her inexplicably conceited heroic mind that caused the current situation, and she suddenly regretted why she didn't pursue Gu Qingzhi and them who ran into the woods just now, but chose to enter the cave again with curiosity and adventure?
But now it doesn't matter if you blame or regret it, you can't change anything, you can only be forced to accept the consequences of your choice. Tang Ling exhaled deeply, and suddenly felt a little funny, she didn't expect that the brave and adventurous spirit she had just built up with various psychological constructions would collapse so quickly, and the look of herself just now that she had to throw away life and death was really too funny to think about now.
"Oops, I'm stuck."
Liu Ruyan on the side stated this sentence in a very false and frightened tone, which provoked Tang Ling next to her to glare at her speechlessly, the afterglow of the flashlight shone on Liu Ruyan's face, Tang Ling looked at her obviously trapped in the cave but suddenly her eyebrows danced, and suddenly felt weird, a not very good idea gradually formed in her heart, and almost Tang Ling asked directly.
You couldn't have closed this cave on purpose, did you?
But Tang Ling endured this, not to mention that the two of them began to suspect each other at the beginning of the distress, which was definitely not conducive to the next escape of the two of them, and Liu Ruyan was a normal girl many years older than Tang Ling, if she was really the culprit who closed the door, Tang Ling and an ordinary child would not dare to guarantee that she still had such good luck to kill the second adult.
"Looks like we're going to have to go inside now!" Liu Ruyan noticed Tang Ling's gaze that kept looking at her, she smiled a little playfully at Tang Ling, and then walked towards the cave by herself.
"Wait, we're going to ······ together"
"Hey, there's a switch here!"
Before Tang Ling could catch up with Liu Ruyan, she heard a surprised voice from Liu Ruyan not far in front, Tang Ling seemed to realize what Liu Ruyan would do next, and before she could shout to stop Liu Ruyan's actions, she heard a "click", and then a burst of strong light hit, Tang Ling, who was stimulated by the light source, hurriedly blocked her eyes with her hand, and closed her eyes uncomfortably, after a while, after finally getting used to the bright light, Tang Ling tried to slowly open her eyes and see the scene in front of her.
The inside of this cave is really very large, the cave walls on both sides seem to be several meters away from the position where Tang Ling is standing, the ground she is stepping on is dry hard soil that has not been taken care of, but the cave walls on both sides seem to have been specially repaired with cement, smooth and neat walls, incandescent lamps are installed on the top of the cave in two rows, particularly dazzling, here is like the kind of large tunnel built on the highway of the city, with the light, the end that can be seen is not another hole, but a closed door, now separated by some distance, Tang Ling couldn't see what it looked like clearly.
Tang Ling turned around, and what closed the entrance to the cave was a silver metal door, and there was a strange dial installed on the wall on one side of the door, Tang Ling didn't investigate what was on it, because Liu Ruyan was already far away from her, and she had to hurry up to catch up.
"Can you learn what teamwork is?" Tang Ling, who was following Liu Ruyan a little helplessly, gasped, looking at the girl in front of her who was looking around and looking at everything, she suddenly thought a little unevenly about why this girl was not pulled away by Gu Qingzhi's others, but was also left at the door of the cave.
"For example?" Liu Ruyan was in a good mood at this time, she had already begun to hum songs unconsciously, and Tang Ling, who heard Liu Ruyan's brisk singing, was even more irritable at this time.
"For example, you have to act with your teammates, and don't do whatever you want in such an unknown and dangerous place!"
Tang Ling complained almost with venting, she really couldn't figure it out, in her opinion, she should be more of a child, she is more like a cautious adult than Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan is like a child with a broken mind, everything is novel, so naïve that she can't pay attention to the environment she is in, she just satisfies her curiosity.
"I didn't do anything bad, you see, thanks to the switch I just flicked, now we don't have to waste flashlights to find our way." Liu Ruyan didn't listen to Tang Ling's words at all, looking at Tang Ling's old-fashioned reprimand beside her, Liu Ruyan laughed "poof", and then raised her hands as if she had surrendered under Tang Ling's increasingly dangerous eyes, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you next, I'll do whatever you say, okay?" ”
Then, Liu Ruyan obediently slowed down and walked behind Tang Ling, as if to confirm the sincerity of her words, Liu Ruyan put away the smile on her face, and pretended to be serious to make Tang Ling sigh weakly, Tang Ling began to doubt more and more whether she really wanted to act with Liu Ruyan, the other party's attitude of not caring about herself really tested her patience, she faintly began to be afraid, in the end, she may not have died because of those unknown dangers in this cave, It's because of the "good teammate" behind him who seems to be a tourist.
The little farce is over, and the focus is on business. Tang Ling, who had already reached the end of the cave, looked at the closed door in front of her and observed it a little. The same metal door as the one at the entrance, and the wall next to it also has a similar strange dial, with the same nine-digit keypad as the telephone dial key, which should be entered in the correct number for the metal door to open. Tang Ling was about to get closer to observe if there was any other information on this door, but as her body just moved forward a short distance, the metal door suddenly heard a "tick" sound, and then immediately after, Tang Ling watched in shock as the metal door opened little by little.
