In the dark underground river, there was silence.

The black water flowed silently under their feet, and the silver steel frames shone in the cavern, like cobwebs formed by steel, slowly choking their throats, and fear would engulf everyone in it.

It's almost suffocating.

After being stunned for a long time, everyone swallowed with difficulty.

'Goodong'

Is this coming back again?

Impossible!

I didn't go back!

How could it be possible to come back again?

Everyone wiped their eyes and looked again.

Still.

'Tick'

'Tick'

The humid air was filled with icy water vapor, and crystal droplets of dew fell down, each time far away in the empty underground river.

The darkness seemed to roll in all around us.

Looking at the strange scene in front of me, I remembered what the person in the team had said

Everyone present shuddered!

What's going on?

Looking at the strange scene in front of them, everyone took a few steps back in horror, and with a cool air, they went straight to the Tianling cover from the soles of their feet!

I heard that there is a big hole under this place, and it has been excavated with pottery and bronze objects

This place, this Gollum underneath, can't it be a mass grave?

Cold sweat gradually began to flow down the foreheads of many engineering team members.

A cold and cold atmosphere gradually spread through the cave.

The icy water of the river flowed slowly

'Rustle'

In the silent space, the sound of footsteps rubbing against each other sounded.

The flickering searchlights seemed to dim a little, and the people standing in place slowly retreated, then glanced at each other, and without saying a word, turned around and ran!

Compared to the last time they left, this time they were not slow!

They tried their best to run along the river for their lives, hunched over, and ran out of the 800-meter race in the uneven and dangerous underground river!

'Whew! Call! ’

Everyone fled for their lives in terror, but a strange feeling always hung over them, and the dark rivers seemed to be spreading.

However, to everyone's confusion, they had just run for a long time, and after passing a corner, they actually returned to the place where the steel frame had been erected earlier!!

"It's . What's going on! ”

An emergency brake!

The bright searchlights illuminated the cave, and the dazzling light reflected on the white steel frame, and all the engineers saw this scene, and all their eyes widened and they almost wanted to suffocate!

What's going on in this underground canal?

Who buried the ruins here?

They've buried something!

'Knock, knock, knock, knock'

Fear and weakness hit together, standing in place, everyone only felt trembling, as if all their strength had been drained, and some people even began to swing their legs and feet!

What's going on?

Is this underground river haunted?

After a while, the panicked crowd turned around again and ran!

But this time, when he was escaping, there was still a person who kept a trace of sanity, he marked the places he passed, marked the rocks with an army green highlighter, and even made a special observation, absolutely nothing wrong, not even a fork in the road, just followed the river all the way!

However!

This time the result is still the same!

They're back where they were!

The darkness around the place covered the place, the dazzling searchlights seemed to be unable to illuminate the surroundings, the raging dark river flowed slowly, fear and unknown swallowed everyone, someone fell to the ground with a snap, and the damp and cold walls around them seemed to be squeezing towards them at this moment.

Looking at the familiar passage for the third time, by this time, everyone was completely frightened!

Their faces are pale and ugly!

Is it really not clean here?!

"I knew archaeology wasn't safe, I knew there wasn't anything good down there."

"What kind of archaeology, it's a grave digger."

"This antique is not normal, absolutely not normal."

A figure with weak legs, has been completely frightened by this scene, on weekdays this is a person who likes to burn incense and worship Buddha, at this time has been completely frightened.

The faces of the crowd were ugly.

"Say no more! Come on! ”

A figure stepped forward and dragged the worker who was paralyzed on the ground, and led him to turn around and flee again!

However, just when they ran for dozens of minutes, but still didn't see the end, thinking that this time they would continue to turn back inexplicably like the previous two times.

A dazzling golden light suddenly shone on them!

“？？？？？”

They subconsciously raised their heads, and then, the bright sunlight fell, which directly made everyone adapt to the dark eyes, and the pain was extremely stinging in an instant, and tears trickled down!

Hurriedly closed his eyes and squatted down, many engineers looked confused!

？？？？

What the hell is this?

Out, out?!

One second it was a dark underground river, full of darkness and gloom, but the next second it was sunny?!

After a moment of acclimatization, they slowly opened their eyes.

Looking at everything familiar around them, looking at the steel accumulation points and tools in the distance, everyone was stunned on the spot!

？？？

What happened?

Why did it come out again?

This huge contrast directly made everyone dumbfounded!

And it doesn't look like it's near the entrance of the cave, right?

Why. Will it be here?!

The heart is pounding.

The sun is shining.

The golden sunlight poured down, but it didn't bring any warmth.

A group of ten people was panting, almost in disbelief.

After a long time, someone reached out and pinched his thigh.

The sharp pain made him look around clearly.

"It's not a dream."

"We. . Did you just get lost in an underground canal? His face turned pale, and he said with some uncertainty.

The other nine also nodded, their faces a little pale.

What's the situation?

Did they just encounter a ghost hitting the wall down there?

How did this thing end up here, and there really were ghosts in the world?

And how did they get out?

And what is buried under this Qilian Mountain? Who did all this?

Questions, doubts, suddenly rose from the hearts of everyone, they recalled in horror the many things that had happened before, and after telling each other to make sure that it was not an illusion, the materialist realistic worldview that had been cultivated for decades suddenly wavered, and for a while, everyone froze in place.

Just when these ten people were stunned and completely overwhelmed, the next team that worked in their place came in the distance.

"Huh? Old skin? You're coming out now? It's pretty fast. ”

The worker named Lao Pi, who was also the leader of the third squad in the underground river before, was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the familiar figure walking in the distance.

"Boss?"

After a short period of confusion, he hurriedly asked: "Lao Kui! How long did we stay down there? ”

"Huh?" The leader of the fourth squad was stunned, this is a man who looks to be in his fifties, not tall, dark, but his body is covered with strong muscles, and he has a towel on his shoulder, and he looks like a veteran who has worked on the construction site all year round.

"I'll take a look." He dropped the cigarette in his hand and looked down at his watch: "More than an hour and a half?" Hey, you guys came out pretty fast this time, I was going to wait for you outside first, but I didn't expect it to come out so quickly. ”

“？？？？”

More than an hour and a half?

Hearing this, the ten members of the third squad in the river channel suddenly became more and more blind!

What's going on?

You must know that the distance they had before, half an hour to go, half an hour, and if you add the working stand, it will take at least two hours or so!

It's more than an hour and a half, and even if they are doing their normal work, it may not be over!

And I obviously felt that I had been running in the cave for a long time, and I ran three times just by looping!

How could it be only an hour and a half?

Everyone glanced at each other, saw the fear in each other's eyes, and hurriedly told many workers about their experiences!

Hearing their words, Lao Kui and the other fourth squad were also stunned.

“？？？？”

"Ghost hitting the wall?"

"Lost?"

"What are you doing, this is a river, how can there be any way to get lost and fight the wall with ghosts?"

Lao Kui was a little dumbfounded, and finally smiled and said, "It's because you're too tired, right?" In this world, how can there be any ghosts hitting the wall? That's just a lie. ”

"Really!"

"Don't go down! It's weird! ”

Everyone in the third team anxiously persuaded them, but Lao Kui and the others didn't believe it at all, waved their hands, and walked down with their team.

"You!"

With an anxious face and a slight hesitation, the captain of the third squad stomped his feet, followed directly, and turned back and instructed his nine team members: "Xiao Fang, Xiao Tian, you take someone back quickly and report this matter, something must be wrong here, Brother Long, you and Guangcai will go down with me, I'm afraid that something will happen to Lao Kui!" ”

"Good!"

In the face of the order, although the nine team members were frightened, they quickly began to act.

The captain of the third squad took Brother Long and Guangcai to chase down, trying his best to stop Lao Kui and the others.

Even to prove this, the three of them went deep into the underground river with the fourth team again, wanting them to see the traces they had left behind.

However, to the confusion of the three of them, it was unbelievable that when they arrived at the location, they found that the marks they had left before were gone!

"Marker?" Lao Kui opened his mouth with a smile.

"It's . What's going on? ”

"Why is the marker gone?"

Looking at the empty rocks, the three of them were directly forced!

What's going on?

I remember being here!

There are also many traces deliberately drawn!

Seeing this scene, Lao Kui sighed, and walked over and patted the shoulder of the captain of the third squad with some helplessness: "Lao Pi, I know it's not easy for you, and you still have two children to raise, but don't fight so hard, if you break your body, it's not good, you two are the same, go back and rest a little more and come back." ”

After speaking, the man picked up the equipment on his shoulders and took everyone away.

Looking at the blank rocks, several members of the third team fell into confusion and self-doubt, completely unaware of what was going on!

But in fact, it's not just these engineering team members who support the passage in the underground canal!

When they went back and told the other people about these things, no one believed them at all!

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"It must be tired."

"What's so weird in this world? I didn't see it when I was mining. ”

Even the higher-ups of the engineering team didn't believe everything at all, and just smiled and gave the third team a few days off to give them a break.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the third team was really angry.

However, no matter what they said, no one believed everything at all.

Not only did no one believe it, but in the following period, no one would ever encounter the same situation as them again!

Even after they finished resting and re-entered, they didn't encounter anything like this!

Even Lao Pi and others in the third squad were a little suspicious at this time!

"Is everything you have encountered before really true?"

But if it's fake, it's too real, right?

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

As the excavation gradually deepened, on this day, other workers who participated in the Qilian Mountain project on the other side encountered an even more strange thing

'Babbling.'

As everyone dug deeper, I don't know when, some sounds gradually began to appear in the forest.

At first, there were not many sounds, like a breeze blowing, and in the roar of machinery in the sky, it did not attract anyone's attention at all.

Even the surrounding birds, beasts, fish, and insects could not hear these sounds.

But as time went on, as many engineers continued to excavate, these voices gradually began to become apparent.

First and foremost are the many animals that live near the mountains.

Although the trees in this mountain range have been cut down and the machinery rumbles, there are still many animals living there.

Their spirits were never extinguished, and in the midst of this chaotic noise, they all raised their heads with obvious horror in their eyes.

For the next few days, they withdrew from the area without a sound, with their tails between their legs and flapping their wings.

Even the flies and mosquitoes that were originally circling around have evacuated here one by one.

Huge machines roared, and dense engineering personnel walked on the construction site.

They didn't notice these details and were still working in full swing.

But with the roar of the machine and the deepening of the archaeological excavation, these sounds have become more and more numerous.

Finally one day.

"Where did this sound come from? It's like someone is whispering......"
