Xu Yaxian's face changed after I reprimanded her, but she couldn't say anything. She could only say: "You... I think, why don't we go back first and wait until we report the situation here to the superiors?"
Let’s see what the superior department’s reaction is before we make any plans?”
Xu Yaxian finally made a suggestion.
Although this girl's idea is a bit too optimistic, there is really no better way at the moment, so Xu Yaxian's proposal was unanimously approved by the four of us.
Just when we returned the same way and walked about ten meters, Xu Yaxian, who was walking on the far side, suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Xu Yaxian, are you okay?" I hurried over and helped Xu Yaxian up from the ground.
"It's okay, I seem to have tripped over something." Xu Yaxian rubbed her knees and shined the flashlight over, "Look, that's right there."
Looking along the beam of light, Xu Ya stumbled
Xian's culprit was a blue brick that protruded halfway from the wall of the corridor.
At the same time, a sound like a heavy object falling to the ground came from below the corridor.
The few of us looked at each other, and an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in our hearts, "Could it be... that the switch was turned on by mistake?"
The next developments seem to be confirming our thoughts.
After a short moment of silence, there was another "click" sound from the bottom of the corridor, as if some mechanism had been triggered by the falling heavy object.
Before we could react, the ground under our feet suddenly began to shake slightly, and the roof of the corridor above our heads also began to shake, and from time to time, clouds of sand and gravel fell from the top.
"No, run to the Robber's Cave, we have to leave quickly." I shouted, grabbed Xu Yaxian and Caiyun, and ran away.
The vibration suddenly became violent. Before, there were fragments of sand and gravel. In just a moment, whole pieces of green bricks fell from the top like dumplings.
"Run!" I shouted, regardless of the several blows I received on my body, while Ren Yonghai and I were pulling the two girls, Xu Yaxian and Caiyun, who were pale and out of breath, to fight with each other.
He ran to the thief's cave for his life.
There was a "boom", just when we were about to rush to the bottom of the Robber's Cave, the shaking of the corridor reached a peak, and we could hardly even stand. As a huge sound sounded, the mountain where the Robber's Cave was located began to shake.
Before my eyes, it suddenly collapsed.
"Ahem!"
The remaining corridor was filled with a choking dust. I got up from the ground in disgrace and shouted loudly: "Officer Ren, Xu Yaxian, Caiyun, are you all okay?"
"Cough, it's okay, cough."
"I'm fine too, cough cough."
The three people responded and became equally frustrated.
When the dust in the remaining corridor fell to the ground, we saw our surroundings clearly and fell into despair.
Only a short section of five or six meters long remains, and the front and rear are blocked by the collapsed mountain. The Robbery Cave has completely disappeared, and our only way out is gone.
Xu Yaxian stared blankly at the entrance of the burglar's cave, which was pressed into a gap by the mountain. Her legs gave out and she knelt down on the ground, crying: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Why did you accidentally kick the mechanism? This time, this time it's all my fault."
It’s over, we are all going to die here.”
I had no choice but to go up and pat her shoulder, trying to comfort her: "Okay, don't cry, no one will blame you. We don't have no chance at all. You forgot, Officer Ren's men watched us come in."
Yes, if we make such a big noise now, they will definitely find someone to save us."
Hearing what I said, Xu Yaxian looked up at me, her face turned into a little cat from crying, and sobbed: "Really, really, we, we can still go out."
I nodded affirmatively.
Although she knows that my words are just to comfort her, after experiencing the initial shock, Xu Yaxian's mood has finally stabilized. She wiped her tears and stopped crying.
At this time, Ren Yonghai suddenly called me and said: "Lin Kun, come here and have a look. Do you think this is anything like the brick that tripped Xu Yaxian before?"
I looked up and saw Ren Yonghai waving to me from the corner of the corridor on the other side, and Caiyun was also beside him.
"Let's go over and have a look." I pulled up Xu Yaxian and the two of us walked over together.
On the wall in the corner of the corridor, a small piece of blue brick also protruded from the wall, suddenly appearing in front of us.
It turned out that when I was comforting Xu Yaxian, Ren Yonghai was not idle, but was groping around in the corridor. He found this blue brick under a pile of rubble.
Of course, this blue brick is not the previous one, but its existence means that there may be more than one mechanism in this corridor.
But there is another possibility, it may be the switch of a secret passage.
"This damn corridor can't be all traps and there are no secret passages, right?" Ren Yonghai spat, "Otherwise there are no entrances on both sides. Who would be harmed by these traps?"
"What Captain Ren said makes sense." Xu Yaxian's eyes lit up and she said happily.
At this moment, they both seemed to see hope of getting out.
What Ren Yonghai said does make sense, but it is not necessarily correct, because this is an underground tomb, and all the designs are to deal with possible intruders. It does not have to consider how to let people out, but only considers if someone comes out.
Come in, how to kill these people.
"But so what if it's an agency? Could the situation be worse than it is now?" Thinking of this, I didn't pour cold water on Ren Yonghai and Xu Yaxian.
The small claustrophobic space gave people an unbearable sense of suffocation, so when I saw it, I didn't object, and almost without any hesitation, Ren Yonghai referred to Xu Yaxian's previous method of accidentally touching the mechanism, and kicked the raised blue brick.
superior.
The corridor fell into a brief silence.
Just as the two of us were waiting hopefully for a section of the wall to move and reveal the entrance to a secret passage, we suddenly saw a slight tremor on the ground beneath our feet.
The two people's faces suddenly turned pale. Damn it, could it be so unlucky, or was it a trap?
Facts have proved that reality is cruel.
A gap suddenly appeared at the connection between the floor and the wall, and a strong musty smell of air suddenly emerged from the gap.
Then, as the four of us stared dumbfounded, the gap gradually widened, and the entire ground was slowly shrinking under the wall behind us.
After a while, we could only cling to the wall behind us, looking at the bottomless gap in front of us, praying that the ground under our feet would at least leave us a place to stand, and not shrink completely into the wall.
This gap is like the ferocious mouth of an extremely huge dark beast, grinning ferociously and waiting to swallow the four of us.
The prayers didn't work. When the ground completely retracted into the wall, the four of us screamed in horror and fell into this unfathomable dark abyss together.
At this moment, I even had an illusion in my heart, wondering if it would just keep falling, keep falling, and finally fall into the center of the earth? I didn't have time to be afraid for a while.
"ah!"
To our surprise again, after only falling about five or six meters, the four of us came out of a large net bag hanging in mid-air.
Xu Yaxian's high-decibel screams stopped the moment they were uploaded to the Internet.
Inertia made us roll down the big net to the center of the big net, and the four of us collided into a ball.
"boom!"
"Ouch!"
After rubbing the sore parts of each other, we took out our flashlights and checked the environment we were in at the moment.
This is a huge pit with a diameter of about 20 to 30 meters wide. I don’t know how deep it is underground. The light of a flashlight cannot shine to the bottom. The big net that blocked us was hung in the air, which temporarily saved our lives.
The four of us looked at each other with lingering fears. Without this big net, the consequences can be imagined.
"What the hell is this place?" Ren Yonghai asked.
"It should be, it should be a trap created by using the special underground terrain." Xu Yaxian sighed, and even she was numb after experiencing the continuous impact.
The only advantage here is that at least the space is much more open than before, and it is not as oppressive as in the corridor before.
"Have you ever wondered why this big net appeared in this trap?" I touched the big net under me and said.
Traps are used to kill people. Isn't it unnecessary to hang a big net to catch people who fall?
Ren Yonghai and Xu Yaxian also realized this problem and fell into thinking for a while.
"Brother Lin Kun, below." Caiyun, who had been silent until now, suddenly pulled my sleeve and pointed to the bottom of the big net.
Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw about two meters deep under the big net, separated by a pit dozens of meters wide, and on the walls on both sides, there was a dark passage opening.
Just now we were only looking at the situation below, and didn't notice that there was Xuanxu on the wall of the pit.
The unexpected entrance to the passage suddenly made us a little excited. We all climbed up from the Internet to see if there was any way to safely climb over the large network.
