Chapter 275: The Riddler

Zhao Ying hurriedly probed Jiang Shan's forehead, "Ah Shan, how are you, Ah Shan?"

Jiang Shan has no ability to communicate at all, and can only repeat the word "headache".

Zhao Ying can't hide her loss, when will Ah Shan return to normal? 「」

Wei Yuan said, "I suggest that we better synchronize everyone's statements."

At present, there are still four mercenaries and a doctor left on Bai Jin's side, as well as his own two security guards, a total of eight people.

"If you don't believe what my people say, you might as well ask your own teammates." Wei Yuan knew that Bai Jin didn't treat the four of them as his own, and being suspicious was Bai Jin's characteristic.

A very simple question.

See if Bai Jin dares to ask.

Bai Jin looked at the doctor who had been silent, "How long do you think we've been down?"

The doctor pushed his glasses, "I, I don't remember the time." The doctor seemed a little nervous, sweating all over his face.

Bai Jin looked at the other mercenary, and his tone was already very bad: "You come on."

The mercenary paused for a second: "Ten, ten minutes." Unfortunately, the tone is not very sure.

Bai Jin really wanted to grit his teeth a little, and he asked another one again, "What about you?" How long do you think we've been down?"

The mercenary seemed a little reluctant to speak, he was silent for a long time, and then slowly said in Bai Jin's aggressive gaze, "I think, more than ten minutes...... It should be at least twenty minutes."

There is still a big difference between ten minutes and twenty minutes, and it is impossible not to feel the difference.

Bai Jin turned his eyes and looked around, the doctor lowered his head and wiped his sweat with a hand towel, but unfortunately it seemed to wipe more and more, Bai Jin's eyes refocused on the mercenary farthest away from him, seemed to smile, and finally asked again: "Tell me, how long have we been down?"

There was an awkward silence in the air, and then the mercenary said, "I don't remember...... No, I remember it was five minutes...... However, I felt as if a long time had passed......

One is subjective recall, and the other is intuitive feeling.

Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes.

No matter how big the difference is, it can't be so outrageous.

Among them, there is Bai Jin himself, he didn't say it, but his senses are also in the range of ten minutes and ten minutes.

He didn't doubt his feelings, at least not before.

Now that it is very clear, Wei Yuan said, "Now your own team members are also inconsistent, do you still think it's just a weak psychological endurance?"

Psychological stress can lead to gibberish and mental breakdowns, but it is clear that everyone's state is more like "forgetfulness" now.

No one can tell how long they have been in the cave.

Jiang Shan said again, "Headache."

"Old Wei, my neck is stiff......" Zhang Zheng suddenly spoke, "Tell me what happened?" Why suddenly everyone started riddler.

Why, when everyone goes down the hole together, the perception of how long they have been in the hole is completely different.

Could it be that there is some kind of time flow problem again? Wei Yuan twisted his eyebrows.

But no, everyone is in the same space, acting together and not separated, and a problem with the flow of time will not just make everyone's memory wrong, which can basically be ruled out.

The most important thing is the word "don't look back".

Don't look back.

What happens when you look back?

Wei Yuan wanted to try it himself, but the risk was a bit uncontrollable.

But when he thought of something, Wei Yuan suddenly said faintly, "When you were walking, did you turn around?" He looked at Bai Jin's group.

It's goosebumps.

The doctor's eyes suddenly looked straight into him, "No."

But now he is obviously in a half-turned posture. Twisted in Wei Yuan's direction.

There was a chill rushing to the stomach, how could this doctor seem to be the first person to have a problem among everyone.

What kind of way did this Bai Jin use to bring people underground?

"Turned back, didn't look back." The doctor tugged at his clothes and craned his neck, "I'm going up, please, let me go up."

The man was already scared crazy.

Bai Jin stood there indifferently, none of the people he brought down could leave alone, either going up together or burying them in the ground together.

"Take out the map." He commanded those beside him.

Naturally, there were no maps in the tunnels, and they brought construction drawings, overall construction sketches for the excavation of this underground waterway.

The drawings were taken out, and Bai Jin swept them with a lamp to find the location where they came down to the hole, and he scratched a mark on it with his fingernails. "From here, we go in this direction (to the northeast), and here, we have to at least go to this position before we encounter a fork in the road."

The construction sketch shows that below the opening, there is a vertical passage, and the passage stretches for about 200 meters before there is a dividing road. There are two forks in the first pass, and according to the plan they will take the left one, because the left passage is the one they will focus on digging.

It's just that they all think that they should still be on the main road, and they haven't entered the fork in the road yet.

"Do you feel the wind?" I don't know who said it.

If it's underneath the opening, then the wind is bound to come from the big opening. But from the doctor's constant wiping of sweat, everyone else realized that they hadn't felt the wind for a long time.

"Headache."

Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Is it possible that all the reactions we have now are due to lack of oxygen?"

Lack of oxygen leads to an unclear mind, and headaches. On top of that, hallucinations.

However, if it is hypoxia, it has to show how deep they have gone. Because if you are not far from the entrance of the cave, there will be no lack of oxygen.

"Headache."

Zhang Zheng opened his kettle at this time and wanted to feed it to Jiang Shan: "Do you want to drink water?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shan blinked his eyes and opened his mouth directly. Zhang Zheng didn't hold his hand steady for a while, and looked at Zhao Ying in shock: "Can she understand us?"

Zhao Ying wanted to speak and stopped: "She has always reacted to eating and drinking."

Zhang Zheng fed Jiang Shan water: "Doesn't that still show that she has a reaction to the outside world?"

If Jiang Shan can hear them, it means that there is no hope. "Goodness? Miracles are good?"

Jiang Shan drank half a pot of water, and then stopped drinking it when he fed it, still pillowed on Zhao Ying's shoulder, and this time he didn't give any eyes no matter how Zhang Zheng called.

Zhang Zheng: that disappointment and loss.

Zhao Ying put her hand around Jiang Shan's shoulder, feeling the body temperature of each other, no matter what, they are still together, better than countless results. I don't know when Zhao Ying has gradually become numb to death.

Bai Jin stared at the construction drawings, and the entire construction drawings were one after another, a maze-like fork. After two forks in the road, there were countless branches around the fork in the road, and the doctor knelt on his knees, sweat on his face running down his neck, "I won't see a doctor, I can leave all the medicine and equipment to you, let me go."
