Chapter 35: The Throat of the Giant Sinkhole

Since I joined the search team, I have found that being hospitalized is simply the happiest thing in our lives for people like us. Every day, there are beautiful nurses next to me to ask for warmth, and at the beginning, the beautiful nurse also personally fed me water and porridge, and I almost couldn't find the north for this time.

The other day, the sharp pain in my tongue every time I had a painkiller pill reminded me of that damn ugly monkey who really cost me half my life. Because I am a person who has no other problems, I am born with a poor mouth, and I don't eat, drink, or worry for three days, but if I don't speak for a day, it will suffocate me to death.

In those days, my mouth was so swollen that I was still in severe pain every day and hummed and talked to the nurses, and then the attending physician couldn't stand it anymore, so he transferred the nurses and nurses around me, and even threatened my nurse to say a word to me, and he would be fined 500 yuan, this trick really worked, everyone avoided me, and my mouth was finally quiet for a few days.

By the time they came to see me, I was able to talk and eat something light.

Quanzi put the fruit basket next to my bed, glanced at my surroundings, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, no wonder I can't miss it!" ”

I replied unashamedly: "It must be good, it must not be thought!" ”

Ah Fang also smiled and said: "Don't think that you don't need to write a mission report if you hide in the hospital, Commander Chen said that Dezi's report must be made up when you go back!" ”

I exclaimed, "No, so cruel! ”

Ai Qin didn't say anything next to her, just quietly peeled an apple for me, and I glanced at Ah Fang and found that her face was full of evil expressions.

Ai Qin peeled the apple and handed me the fruit, and said in a very unhappy tone, "You can continue to enjoy it here, I will finish your report for you!" ”

I took the apple and ate it and said vaguely, "Really, ouch, thank you so much for my good Aiqin!"

Quan Zi smiled evilly, "Don't you know, during the time you were hospitalized, Ai Qina didn't want to think about tea, he wrote a report to you day and night, and he was in a hurry to see you!" ”

I glanced at Quanzi's unnatural expression and laughed in my heart, "You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, right?" ”

Ah Fang said, "Yo yo yo! Why do I feel that the smell of disinfectant water in this hospital has suddenly become so sour! ”

Ai Qin's face turned red when she saw that we were joking with her, and she retorted anxiously, "Sister Afang, you are not allowed to talk nonsense with them." ”

Ah Fang also stopped with interest, and talked nonsense to each other for a while, and then the topic changed to the situation of the fifth child.

It turned out that after the fifth child was taken back to the hospital directly under the headquarters that night, he was directly arranged to the outside hospital.

Later, Quan Zi inquired that Lao Wu was seconded by someone from the laboratory, saying that he wanted to study him, but for more information about him, Quanzi couldn't inquire too much at their level, and we couldn't help what happened to Lao Wu.

Quanzi snatched half an apple from my hand and said while eating, "It seems that the problem of the fifth child was indeed from sleeping in that hole that night?" ”

My mind was filled with doubts, and it seemed like it was all an illusion. Did Lao Wu really fall asleep naturally as soon as he entered the cave as he said, is it possible that he was hypnotized by something, or was it something that interfered with his normal physiological response?

I said to them, "Why don't we take a moment to visit the fifth child and ask what happened that night?" ”

Ai Qin replied, "We've all been there, three words: don't let you see!" ”

I shook my head, "That's not right! What's the matter with how he can still cross in just one night? ”

Quanzi said, "You don't have to worry about him, I guess he's about the same as you now, eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating, nothing else!" ”

I asked, "Bullshit, there's nothing wrong with that, let me ask you, there's a mission coming soon, are we going for four or five?" ”

Quanzi joked, "Of course there are five of us, the five of us are a happy family, doesn't he just like to sleep, it's a big deal to bring him a marching bed!" ”

Ah Fang said, "Okay, you two don't be poor!" When is this coming, let's hurry up and think about any other way to help the fifth child! ”

I glanced at the slogan outside the hospital: "Healthy Mind, Free Life." I couldn't help but say a sentence to everyone, "Do you want to ask a psychiatrist to see if there is something wrong with his psychology!" ”

After listening to it, Quanzi listened, "Sure enough, you don't have any good suggestions, you mean that the fifth person who was not afraid of the ground that day was scared out of heart attack by something, how could it be?" ”

Ah Fang retorted to Quan Zi, "Well, what Dezi said is not without such a possibility. Quanzi, don't talk nonsense, heart disease and psychological problems are two different things, so I'm going to call and give feedback on this suggestion. ”

As soon as Ah Fang turned around and walked out of the ward, the nurse outside came in and handed Quanzi a phone, he took out the phone and looked at the caller ID, and his relaxed nerves immediately became serious. As soon as I looked at him, I didn't have to think much about it, and I knew that there must be a task down.

Quanzi went out to answer the phone, and after a few minutes, he pushed the door in with Ah Fang, and said to Ai Qin and me in Nanxichuan dialect, "Let's go, brothers and sisters, the mission is coming!" ”

My mouth can barely drink some gruel now, and I was pulled up from the bed by Quanzi, and the kid was ashamed to say, "Minor injuries can't get out of the line of fire, serious injuries don't fall behind!" How long are you going to stay in bed? "Looking at Quanzi's strength, I really want to kick him to death, this guy who doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks.

When I returned to the conference room of the base, I learned that the place where the accident happened was in Sinan City in the southwest, where there was a famous Taoist immortal mountain, and there was the world's largest stone mountain Buddha. What's even more strange is that the specific location of this accident turned out to be in a super sinkhole in Sinan Mountain.

According to the information, the main object of our mission is a geological expedition team organized by the relevant departments, and the expedition team has a total of 10 people: including three geologists, two assistants, two photographers, a reporter and two local guides, who have not been heard from since they lost contact with the relevant departments a week ago.

Although it is not the same primeval forest as last time, the special topography and mountain structure around the sinkhole still limit many of our high-tech equipment, such as large-scale detectors and thermal energy search equipment, to be carried.

Coupled with the special encounter of Lao Wu this time, this mission can only be operated by the four of us in a single group, and like the treacherous Grand Canyon, Ai Qin has to follow us to fight on the spot again this time.

We first took the special plane organized to Sinan City, and then took the arranged helicopter directly to the accident site, on the plane, the two local guides we talked about the general situation, but for us, it was almost worthless.

After an hour's flight, we arrived at the top of a vast forest, only to see a black cave appear in the middle of the forest, looking down from the air, a huge sinkhole in the middle of the lush green forest appeared in our field of vision like a black giant well, as if a black whirlpool pit suddenly appeared in the blue sea.

We motioned for the pilot to get closer, and the pilot said that the air flow around the cave was very chaotic, and he didn't dare to get too close! We had to keep him circling for a week.

At this time, an even more strange scene appeared, about a hundred meters below the mouth of this huge sinkhole, the middle of the stone wall was raised to form a circular platform, and a circular air corridor was formed along the barrel-shaped cliff wall, which was already overgrown with trees, as if it had become a hanging sky garden corridor.

We circled around this sinkhole, which was about 400 meters in diameter and surrounded on all sides by rocky cliffs, and the magical sight inside made all four of us hardly believe our eyes, and the sky corridor further down formed a bottomless crater, and we could not see the bottom of the cave with binoculars on the plane.

After a few more laps, we opted to slide down on a flat ground on the south side of the sinkhole, where the terrain and trees are much better than in the other three directions. After the four of us reached the ground one after another, the planes in the air no longer dared to stop any longer, and flew northward like a desperate escape.

On the way here, the pilot and guide told us that this sinkhole was called "the throat of the earth" by the people around it, which means the throat of the earth. Because the sinkhole is bottomless, many people say that it leads to the center of the earth, because of its depth and huge opening, combined with the fear of some ancient legends, make the surrounding mountain people stay away from it.

In recent years, only some groups of brave herb pickers have collected medicine around here, but none of them have ever been near the sinkhole. And some of the old mountain people who live in the surrounding mountains say that this sinkhole is a "yin pit", which is connected to the netherworld of the Hades Palace, and once people get close, their souls will be sucked away and their spirits will disappear. Of course, these words can only be a joke for a few of us, but we are complete materialists.

We sorted out their equipment and materials, a few took advantage of the noon daylight to start to the direction of the sinkhole, because no one has been patronized here for a long time, the mountains have long been a world of weeds and thorns, we cut the road while moving forward, because the old five did not come this time, there is no unified scheduling, the four of us feel very awkward to carry out the task, there is no commander and a few of us can only do our own things.
