Chapter 186: Labyrinth
"Aren't you alright?" Mole Two, the technician known as George, was carrying electronic warfare equipment, anxiously looking left and right, while behind him, the remaining few team members were sweating.
"Right now, the cement here is very thin, the ground is full of dirt, it's easy to dig, it's not loud, give us two more minutes." The voices of the team members can be heard from the pit, and dirt is constantly being carried out of the hole.
"Don't be careless! Captain, he's still buying time for us, don't attract attention......" George bit his lip, in the distance, although he couldn't see the specific situation, but after the previous shock bomb exploded, there was no new explosion, which already proved that the captain and they had reached a situation where they couldn't throw grenades.
"I can already feel it, you carry the equipment table away, in case it falls together, it will be troublesome!" Three grizzled agents pulled ropes out of the pit and tossed the drill-shaped digging equipment aside.
"Good, fasten the safety rope and get ready to go!" George tied one rope to his waist and the other to a nearby street tree, he didn't bother to think about what was discovered, and there was no way they could escape, the only thing they could do was to finish the task before they faced the end.
Seven team members, including George, slowly descended the rope to the bottom of the cave, picked up the sapper shovel and dug it.
"It's hard! Hard! Suddenly, a member of the team suddenly felt a moment of digging, and then immediately called.
"Be quiet!" George gave him a blank look, and folded the sapper shovel into a cone, I have to say, this sapper shovel is easy to use!
The sapper shovel pressed against the ground, and another soldier picked up the guy in his hand and smashed it hard, and several people hung in the air with a thud with the sound of falling rubble.
"Flashlight!" George was hit by the electronic warfare equipment in his hand, and he only felt a sharp pain in his waist and elbows, but he still endured and dragged the box that was usually not heavy when he carried it.
The bright hand shot out from the hands of the team members hanging next to him, and on the ground below the debt, it looked like there was still a height of more than two meters.
"Michelle, you go down first, and the rope is for Lakmi and Staven to hold." George nodded to the soldier with the flashlight, and the soldier immediately grabbed the rope around his waist, lifted the rest to his companion, and gently untied the knot himself, slowly sliding down.
Although two meters of height may not seem like much to you, you can't be too careful at this time.
Michelle fell to the ground, and the person pulling his rope immediately handed the rope to the people next to him, and then slid down according to Michelle's movements until George was the only one left.
"You guys pick up the boxes." George borrowed the ropes of the six people in front of him, tied a knot, and slowly hung the box down, and then he fell down by the ropes around him.
The seven of them landed safely, and suddenly there was a sense of absurdity, because the scene in front of them was not at all like the style of the high-tech laboratory they imagined, but more like ...... A real land road.
"Is this an earthen wall?" George picked up the sapper shovel and knocked twice on the wall beside him, only to find that there was no slag left, which was much stronger than the "roof" above his head that they had dug all the way down, but in any case, it was difficult to hide that the wall in front of him was completely compacted.
"Could it be that the other party used some high-tech materials and then disguised them as dirt? Or is this high-tech material the same color as this earth? George stroked the walls, and apart from the hardness, the feel, texture, and smell were indistinguishable from the earth.
However, although all this stimulated George's curiosity, he also understood that this was not the time to study, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered:
"Forget it, Michelle, you and Staven take the lead, after the Clammy break, the others are ready to cover at any time!"
Although the road is six or seven meters wide, the dim light and the height of less than three meters still give a very oppressive feeling.
"George! It's a fork in the road! Michelle suddenly said softly, and the faces of several people suddenly changed.
"Fork in the road?" George took the flashlight and looked left and right, but found no signs.
"Lawrence, is there a signal here?" George turned his head to look at the team member in the middle.
"Yes, GPS and mobile phones work normally." Lawrence looked at his watch and nodded.
"Well, keep an eye on the readings, we're probably already in the other side's defenses." George pulled out a spray gun and sprayed a signature on the wall of the fork before leading his team towards another fork in the road.
"No, we're going in a different direction!" After walking for less than two minutes, Lawrence suddenly screamed, and George's face immediately became ugly, "Is this a labyrinth that makes people go around in circles?" Is the so-called underground space really just a front? ”
"No, let's turn back!" Lawrence made a quick decision, and the group immediately turned around, but after walking for a full ten minutes, they did not see the fork in the road they had passed again.
"Captain, GPS is jumping!" Lawrence's face showed a slightly frightened expression, and the depression in the hearts of several people became even more profound.
An hour, two hours, a day, two days, a month, two months.
George and his six team members seemed to have a complete sense of time, although the electronic devices on their bodies were still running, but the numbers were jumping irregularly, sometimes it was only a second, the numbers skipped a minute, and sometimes they were walking for a long time, but the numbers were motionless.
They are like souls deprived of time, neither hungry nor thirsty, but just wandering in this strange labyrinth that has no end or no end.
"George, are we supposed to be dead, are we?" Michelle's words had already been spoken, but the faces of several people suddenly showed expressions of "sudden realization".
"That's right, we're dead, so it's just our souls floating here? So we won't be hungry, we won't be thirsty, the flashlight won't run out, and the numbers on the watch will jump around? And the reason why we can't get out of this maze is actually because we don't know what the target looks like, so we were already dead when we fell before? ”
As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately took over all the thoughts that could be seen, and at this moment, a sense of confusion suddenly began to appear, and as they became more and more convinced of the fact of their own death, various perceptions seemed to be leaving them.
The pain was gone, followed by touch, and then they noticed that the sense of taste and smell seemed to be gone when they didn't know it, and then they could no longer hear each other, until at last, their eyes were hazy, and everything was plunged into darkness......
