Chapter 43: Traces of Destruction

Ah Fang sensed that something was wrong with us in front of her, and shouted loudly, "What's wrong with you two? Something's going on! ”

I was just about to call them back, but Quanzi grabbed me and said painfully, "Don't tell them for the time being, I can still persevere, if you tell them my actual situation at this juncture, it will only add to their worries, and once you can't devote yourself to it, it will affect the final task result." ”

Of course I know what happens if I tell them both. Ah Fang and Quanzi have been fighting side by side for so long, and the friendship between them can no longer be described as comradeship, although Ai Qin and Quanzi have few opportunities to act alone, but we have already gotten along day and night, not relatives but even relatives.

Now at such a moment and such a dangerous place, Quanzi's combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened due to his injuries, if there are any more ups and downs in the mentality of the two of them, our operation this time can also end here.

I replied loudly, "Oh, it's fine! We'll find something in the back, take a look! After speaking, he whispered to Quanzi, "Can you still hold on to one of them?" If you can, go back to camp yourself! ”

Quanzi himself knows very well that his current physical condition will not play any role with us, but after returning to the camp alone, we have no worries, Quanzi gritted his teeth and nodded.

"You must pay attention to yourself, now inside the sinkhole, a few of us are the meat on the board!" I quipped.

"If you want to eat me, you have to ask me if I can promise them with the gun in my hand!" ”

"Beware of anesthetized rats, this thing hurts invisibly!" I confessed.

"How can you fall twice in the same place?" Jeonko replied with a smile.

I put on my headset and deliberately said loudly, "Quanzi, you take this thing back to the camp, you have injuries on your body, and I don't know when the anesthesia will disappear." Wait a minute, in case of any danger, we may not be able to take care of you, you take this thing back and analyze it first, and report to us after the analysis. ”

When Ah Fang heard this, he immediately echoed, "Yes, yes!" Dezi has a point, we almost forgot that you were injured! ”

Ai Qin also said, "That's right, Brother Quanzi! You go back first! ”

Quanzi shook hands with me, and this handshake contained not only the regret of not being able to fight side by side with me, but also the trust and entrustment for me in the future! In the words of a poet, "Silence is better than sound at this time!" ”

Looking at the back of the whole child limping back, I suddenly felt extremely lost and sad. Although this is not a life-and-death parting, it is the biggest crisis that our team has encountered since its formation, and two brothers cannot participate in a mission.

After Jeonko's back disappeared into the darkness, I suddenly felt unprecedented pressure, but now was not the time to sigh and sigh, I hurriedly turned around and caught up with Ai Qin and Ah Fang in front.

Ah Fang asked as she walked, "How is Quanzi?" ”

I replied, "I'm worried that the anesthetized rat won't be able to help, so I let him go back to the camp with his things first, first, to let him rest well, and second, if there is any danger in the front, he can also have a support for us in the rear!" ”

Ah Fang and Ai Qin didn't have too many doubts, in their opinion, the safety of the whole child was the most important thing at the moment.

The three of us continued to walk forward, and just after walking more than ten meters, Ai Qin, who was walking in the front, shouted, "Come and see, there is a cave dug by hand in front!" ”

We followed the wolf eyes on Ai Qin's hand and looked over, only to see that there was a stone cave with a diameter of about one meter on the cliff wall not far ahead. The cave is upright on both sides, and above it is an oval portico that looks like a hollow stone door.

The stone cave is covered with stone debris, we got closer, and found that the traces of iron tongs inside and outside the stone cave are very obvious, and at first glance it is the traces of manual excavation. We took the wolf's eye and probed around, except for this cave, the surrounding cliffs were all jet-black stone walls, and under the cliffs were a few piles of black broken rocks, which looked like they were naturally formed.

The three of us slowly approached the interior of the cave, and the closer we got to the cave, the clearer the signs of human activity became, and I even found that there were some jagged marks of the armory shovel clearly left on the rock next to the cave, and there were some drill holes at one end.

Ah Fang stepped forward and touched the stone dust on the ground with his hand, and said to us, "What a fresh trace, this was caused not long ago." ”

Ai Qin also leaned into the cave and looked left and right, "There are still some small stones scattered on the ground, it seems that those scientists have collected rock specimens here." ”

Under the light of the wolf's eyes, I carefully observed this cave, which was only more than one meter high and more than one meter wide, probably to facilitate the collection of specimens in the cave, and the entrance of this cave was artificially widened. I took the wolf's eye and shone it into the depths of the cave, but to my great disappointment, the beam of light soon bottomed out, the depth of the cave was only more than two meters, and there was nothing in it except the bare stone walls, but the stone walls inside were already covered with mold, and it seemed that these people had only been banging at the door of the cave for a while.

The cave is now empty, and the traces left by the group of scientists at the entrance of the cave indicate that there should be some valuable clues in this cave, but the scene in front of us has given us three slaps in the face, and we can't help but be a little disappointed.

Quanzi was injured, which had some impact on the mood of the three of us, plus the fifth child was not there, this situation had never happened before, to put it irresponsibly, now the real idea of the three of us in our hearts is to quickly find the group of missing explorers, whether dead or alive, and then take the living people and Quanzi to quickly evacuate.

I had this thought in my heart, but at the moment, as the captain, I was still responsible for the next mission, and I cheered up the two of them, "This cave doesn't mean much, but it also proves that we are looking in the right direction." The inside of this sinkhole is so big, even if those ten people are buried in the ground, we have to turn over and find them out! ”

Ah Fang is worthy of being a veteran player, and immediately understood what I meant, and said, "Yes, at least now we have found some clues that prove that the plan we are tracking is still not wrong, and we should have no problem finding it in this direction!" ”

Aichen said, "You two don't have to comfort me, I'm fine!" You think, which of our tasks was simply completed, without twists and turns, and it could not reflect our own value! ”

Ah Fang and I didn't expect Ai Qin to say this, her words were a shot in the arm compared to the words we just said, we swept away the gloom in our hearts, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Just walked about ten meters forward, only to see a cave exactly the same as before appeared in our field of vision again, this time the three of us were very calm, without the slightest excitement before. We leaned unhurriedly towards the cave, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the previous one, except for some new fragments of rock scattered on the ground.

Ah Fang said depressedly, "This is too strange? What the hell was that group of people doing when they came in, and judging from these traces, how did it not look like they were engaged in geological exploration? ”

In fact, I had long expected that the purpose of this group of explorers coming in was not just a geological expedition, but I had been suffering from no evidence, and now when I heard Ah Fang say this, I couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, did you find any clues?" ”

Ah Fang pointed to the traces on the rock and said, "You see, the rock here is the same as the rock of the cave we used to be, there is no need to repeat the collection, if it is a simple geological analysis, the borehole will not only be so deep." I now feel as if the group of people are covering up their true purpose in the name of geological expeditions, looking at these marks on the rocks, it feels like they are erasing and destroying something, something that I can't see! ”

When Ai Qin and I heard this, we immediately felt extremely ridiculous, this is not a national nuclear weapons research institution, and it is impossible to hide any treasures, what traces are there to hide!

I joked, "Ah Fang beauty, as soon as you analyze this situation, it is serious, do you mean that those people are full of food and have nothing to do to destroy any traces here, is there any need to do this?" This is an inaccessible place in the first place, and no one comes, so what difference does it make if you destroy it or not! ”

Ah Fang didn't mind my words, she pointed to the shallow scratches left by the sapper shovel in one of them and said, "Look, is there something hidden under this shovel mark?" ”

Hearing Ah Fang say this, I immediately felt that these shovel marks appeared on these stone walls were indeed a bit redundant, and it was impossible for that group of scientists to eat and do nothing to shovel on the cliff wall for no reason.

I turned off the wolf's eyes, took out the fluorescent lamp and shone it on the rock, and suddenly a huge surprise appeared in front of me, under the messy shovel marks, a few incomplete Chinese characters were faintly revealed, but they were all incomplete, I couldn't see anything and couldn't understand the meaning of the expression!

Fortunately, Ah Fang has a pair of discerning eyes and a keen mind, otherwise we would have completely ignored this stubble.

"In this way, this group of people is indeed prepared!" I said with a long sigh.

"Hmph, I suspect that there must be someone among these people who knows the structure and secrets of this cave, otherwise they wouldn't have come in so easily, and they have prepared so many professional destruction tools!" Ah Fang said.

"Since they know everything about this sinkhole, and they must have their own arrangements, isn't it superfluous for the organization to arrange for a few of us to come in and rescue them?" Aichen said.

"You're going to go back and ask the people who gave us the task!" Ah Fang said.

"Alright, don't be suspicious! It's all our guessing, and if we look down, I don't believe they'll wipe all the traces out! I said huffingly.
