Since this area has not been touched by humans for a long time, weeds, dead trees and huge trees have made our path extremely difficult, but fortunately, the trees here are a little different from the previous primeval forests, most of them are not very dense coniferous forests, and the sunlight from the sky can also penetrate them, which allows us to better identify the direction to the sinkhole.

What we didn't expect was that although the process of reaching the edge of the sinkhole was more time-consuming, it was surprisingly smooth, and we didn't even encounter many birds along the way, which also reflected the horror of this sinkhole from the side.

A few of us lay at the mouth of the sinkhole to carefully observe the situation in the pit, because it was noon at the moment, there was no fog in the cave, the sun was just above our heads to shine into the sinkhole, we could also clearly see the situation on the ring corridor, but because the bottom of the pit was too deep, we still could not see the situation inside through the naked eye.

Ai Qin used a portable infrared detection instrument to measure the depth of the air corridor from us, which was not too high, and the instrument showed that it was one hundred and four meters.

We then used our binoculars to carefully observe the surrounding cliffs to see if there were any creatures attached to them, so as to prevent us from being attacked by a "child" similar to the Grand Canyon when we went down to the pit.

I said to Ai Qin, "Test the radio and see if there is any magnetic interference!" ”

Last time in the primeval forest we suffered a loss without a radio, plus the wireless headset was all dropped in the snake cave before, this time a few of us learned to be obedient, one person brought two, in case accidentally dropped one, there is one in our backpack can be used in case of emergency.

We use wireless headsets a lot in daily training, but in actual combat, Lao Wu doesn't like this thing very much, and his decision also affects us, because almost all of our tasks are carried out in a space, and they will not be separated too much, so over time we will dilute this convenient thing.

Ai Qin listened to my words, and hurriedly took out eight headsets to conduct interference tests, and the results were normal.

The four of us took two each, each wore one, and tested the calls between each other.

After doing this, we fixed the climbing rope in turn and prepared to go down the pit. At this time, the clouds in the sky suddenly obscured the sun, and suddenly the entire sinkhole became dark, and from our position, the sinkhole at this time was like a bottomless black hole, ready to suck a few of us into it at any time.

We cheered each other down, threw the rope under the pit, jumped to the pit platform one after another, and when we officially entered the sinkhole, we found that the surrounding cliffs were so smooth, as if they had been polished, although they left traces of rain and wind, but they could not hide the magic of the formation of such geology at that time.

As soon as my feet touched the pit, I suddenly remembered a question that had been ignored by all of us: where did the expedition get to the bottom of the pit, and why did we not find any clues on it?

When we got to the corridor, I asked, "Who of you knows where those ten people got in, why haven't any of us asked that?" ”

Quanzi immediately said, "Let's just say, when we asked about the situation just now, I felt as if I was asking something!" ”

Ah Fang smiled, "You are an afterthought, and when you just consulted the guide, I didn't see you ask a few questions?" ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Fang, don't pinch the two of you at this time, if you don't know where they are coming down, it will be very troublesome after all!"

Ai Qin said, "Why don't I call and ask at this time?" ”

I hurriedly grabbed her, "Forget it, in this deep mountain and old forest, plus in the pit, how can there be a signal?" ”

Ai Qin still stubbornly took out the satellite phone, looking like he didn't believe me, "How do you know if you don't try?" ”

Seeing that there was no signal, he then pretended not to say anything, used the satellite phone as a mirror, sorted out his clothes, and quietly put it back in his pocket.

I ignored Ai Qin's little Jiujiu, and continued, "Let's look around in this corridor, this corridor is so big, they should leave some clues, and then we follow their clues to find it, so as not to take some wrong paths!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Jeonko asked, "Then are we going to act in teams of two, or four people together?" As soon as he asked, everyone looked at me.

At this time, I really felt the impact of the fifth child's absence on us. Although in the past, when Lao Wu was here, many decisions were made after democratic votes, but his decision-making ability is still obvious to all.

He didn't show up today, and a small thing like this grouping became a big thing between the four of us.

I looked at their three pairs of hot eyes and felt a little scared, and said in a panic, "No, don't look at me?" What are you looking at me for? ”

Quanzi cheekily said, "You brought it up, of course you decided!" ”

Fong said, "Well, yes! Approve! ”

Aichen also said, "Yes! ”

Not quite right! I suddenly realized that finding someone is not the main task at the moment, and it is the right thing to quickly decide on the acting captain of a few of us, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, the family cannot be without an owner for a while, and a small team of four of us cannot be without a captain for a minute.

I lifted my backpack, sat cross-legged on the ground, beckoned a few of them to sit down as well, and said in a very serious tone, "Guys, comrades-in-arms, we must first solve a very important internal problem within the organization. ”

Quanzi replied, "I know what you're going to say, just say how to solve it, right?" ”

I said earnestly, "The position of the captain of the fifth brother is won by him by virtue of his own ability and experience, although several of us are very good, but we have not reached his height." But at present, he is not entangled by sleepy bugs, and he can't participate in this operation with honor, but everyone knows that any action group must have someone to give orders, right? Now, let's discuss it temporarily, and decide to come up with an acting captain to temporarily lead this operation, and as soon as the action is over, the acting captain will automatically disappear, what do you think? ”

The three of them pretended to listen to me very patiently, and then applauded one after another.

"Hey, hey, don't applaud, you all have your opinions!" I was a little anxious.

They couldn't hide the evil smile on their faces, and when Ah Fang saw me finish speaking, he immediately said, "This thing is easy to do!" Just like what Quanzi said just now, whoever came up with the idea should replace it with whoever else will do it. ”

Ai Qin also laughed and clapped her hands with Ah Fang, "Sister Ah Fang, good idea!" ”

Quanzi nodded hypocritically and said, "Yes, it's decided!" ”

Wrong wrong! How did I find out that I seemed to be being played by the three of them, and the three of them had already calculated and were waiting for me here, right?

Quanzi and Ah Fang are okay to say, but the most annoying thing is that the kind-hearted Ai Qin actually followed them together. But after thinking about it, this matter can't be dragged out like this all the time, and dragging it will only cause more inconvenience to everyone's actions in the future.

Since everyone thinks so highly of me, I can't be too pretentious, thinking of this, I blurted out, "In that case, let's raise your watch and decide it, and agree with me to be the acting captain!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone no longer smiled and raised their right hands very seriously. Seeing what people wanted, I also took the opportunity to make a temporary captain's speech, I said: "Thank you for your support, but I can talk about ugly things ahead, in case there is anything sorry for everyone, don't worry with me!" ”

Quanzi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, give a ladder and you'll really go up to the house to uncover the tiles, right?" ”

I didn't get angry and immediately ordered, "That's it, Quanzi and Ah Fang are in a group, I am in a group with Ai Qin, let's have a circle, and whoever finds out about the situation will send a signal flare." ”

"Oh!" After Quanzi finished speaking, he and Ah Fang prepared to start the action. This grouping is similar to before, not because I have selfishness, but compared to the four of us: Quanzi's specialty is shooting, and his adaptability is not as strong as Ah Fang; Although I am not the best in all aspects, I can still cope with it in all aspects, and I am sure to take care of Ai Qin, a rookie.

We divided into two groups and began to look for clues that might have been left by the expedition along the protruding aerial corridor on the cliff face. At this time, I was thinking that if the fifth child came, this kind of unjust thing would not have happened.

I put Aichen in the back and walked slowly down the not very wide walkway, where the midday sun broke free from the clouds just enough to shine in this position, and it was quiet in the sinkhole, where most of the wildlife should be taking a nap.

Ai Qin and I walked on this aerial path one after the other, witnessing the poet's language with practical actions, "Suspended scenery, floating heart." ”

We're 'strolling' here, and the sound of "pop" gunshots suddenly came from the direction of the pit platform opposite, and my heart trembled, isn't this damn Quanzi provoked some goblin again?

After a few messy gunshots, the sinkhole returned to its previous calm, but this calm only lasted for a few seconds, I was just about to ask Quanzi what happened, before I opened my mouth, I heard a "squeak" cry from under our feet, and then a black cloud flew out of the sinkhole, I stared and took a closer look, alas! Thousands of bats fluttered towards the outside of the sinkhole, and it seemed that our Mr. Quanzi and Miss Ah Fang had done a great job this time, and their few gunshots woke up the army of bats sleeping deep at the bottom of the pit.
