Chapter 7: Underground River
"It's incredible, it's incredible. Under the Kunlun Glacier, nature actually has such miraculous craftsmanship!"
Professor Chen and his party were walking in the underground cave. There were countless mica here, emitting a sparkling light, illuminating the entire cave. Naiwa, who was accompanying him, was kneeling down in front of a stone wall to worship these mica. And other members of the archaeological team,
Inspection after inspection, record after record, Shirley Yang took her camera to take pictures of this rare spectacle. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan gathered together, muttering, looking at Shirley Yang from time to time, not knowing what was going on.
What are you talking about.
"Where's Brother Zhang?" After observing Shirley Yang for a while, Wang Kaixuan always felt that this financial backer from a capitalist country was a bit out of tune with them, and while Hu Bayi was guessing the other party's intention to come under this big glacier, he suddenly
Finding that Zhang Lin, who was accompanying him, was not here, he asked about Hu Bayi.
"Didn't you see him?" Hu Bayi heard this and quickly looked around, with a confused look on his face: "Didn't he break up with you?"
"No!" Wang Kaixuan glared at Hu Bayi and confirmed again: "He is not with me, isn't he leading the way with you?"
"Mr. Hu, what's wrong?" Shirley Yang, who was taking pictures on the side, saw that Hu Bayi and the others looked strange, so she quietly came over and asked Hu Bayi, who was the team leader.
When Hu Ba saw that it was the benefactor who was asking, he couldn't hide it, so he said: "Zhang Lin is missing!"
When Shirley Yang heard this, she frowned and asked, "Missed? When did it happen?"
Hu Badi said: "I don't know. Fatty thought he and I were leading the way, and I thought he and Fatty were behind. But we just counted the number of people and found that he was missing."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Miss Yang, this place is mysterious. Brother Zhang is so powerful that he disappeared without a sound. Look at us..."
Seeing Fatty Wang retreating, Shirley Yang glanced at the other party, played with the photos she took and said, "Look around first, don't make any noise, so as not to cause panic."
"Okay!" Hu Bayi nodded when he saw this, and immediately divided the work and said: "I'm going to find Brother Zhang, and I'll also trouble Miss Yang and Fatty to watch these people here, but don't find Zhang Lin, it will be embarrassing here again!"
Shirley Yang responded: "Okay! You have to be careful. If something goes wrong, come back immediately."
Hu Ba nodded and said: "Understood, I'll go to the front to take a look first, and you try to gather them together. If there is an emergency, as soon as I send a message, you will run back!"
Shirley Yang and Fatty nodded. Fatty told Hu Bayi to be careful. Hu Bayi smiled and walked forward, wanting to see if Zhang Lin was moving forward first.
Shirley Yang and Fatty walked up to Professor Chen who was observing the mica layer with a magnifying glass with Hao Aiguo, discussing how the mica layer here was formed.
Looking at the two of them, Shirley Yang said: "Professor Chen, I'm afraid we have to leave here!"
"Leave?" Professor Chen said: "Xiao Yang, we haven't finished recording this yet. You also know that it is not easy for us to come to this kind of place..."
"Someone is missing!" Shirley Yang looked at Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo and said, "Don't make any noise and ask all your students to come over. Lao Hu has gone to see the situation. If something is wrong, we have to withdraw."
When Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo heard that someone was missing, they knew something was going on and quickly asked, "Who is missing?"
Shirley Yang said: "Zhang Lin!" She looked around the mica layer and said: "Lao Hu is looking for it. If we don't find it, we have to go back and apply for assistance before we can come down again. Now let everyone prepare, we need to retreat at any time.
."
Professor Chen nodded repeatedly and told Hao Aiguo: "Aiguo, let everyone come back. Don't make any noise and try not to cause panic."
After hearing this, Hao Aiguo went to call others to gather. Wang Kaixuan took the AK-47 from Naiwa that the army was supporting for their operation. While loading it, he said: "Miss Yang, Naiwa, you guys are watching here.
I'll go back and check the road, ready to retreat at any time."
Naiwa said: "Don't worry! Fat brother, I will take good care of everyone until the company commander comes back!"
Several people split up and acted separately. Fatty Wang took a gun and was about to go back the way he came. At this time, a person walked out from the corner. Who was Zhang Lin who disappeared?
Zhang Lin suddenly appeared, and several people were stunned. Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Zhang Lin said: "I heard that you are going to withdraw? What happened?"
Shirley Yang stood in front of Zhang Lin, looked into Zhang Lin's eyes and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me where you were just now?"
"Me?" Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Lin knew that his absence might have made them think this place was dangerous and prepare to retreat.
Seeing that he was the one worrying everyone, he explained: "I didn't follow you in just now. Instead, I walked around the large glacier outside to see if there were any other holes. I also had some backup options."
"Backup?" Shirley Yang frowned and said, "What backup do you have?"
Zhang Lin smiled and saw everyone looking at him in confusion, and said slightly: "You will know when we go back soon!"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction Hu Bayi was heading and said, "Have you finished the inspection here? Is it time to move on?"
Shirley Yang said: "Next time you act alone, let everyone know first, you can easily scare people."
"OK!" Zhang Lin said with a smile: "When the boss says it, I will obey it!"
"Okay! As long as people are back, let's go!"
Professor Chen greeted everyone and continued to move forward. Wang Kaixuan held Zhang Lin and walked at the end. Seeing that everyone was a little far away from them, he approached Zhang Lin and asked with a smile: "Brother, what good thing did you touch?"
"When Zhang Lin heard this, he pulled out the Colt from behind and waved it in front of Fatty Wang: "This!"
"Good guy!" Fatty Wang took the Colt and padded it in his hands: "But it's fine for self-defense. If you want to fight, you have to fight with this guy in my hands, Fatty."
After saying that, he threw Colt back, looked at Zhang Lin and said: "You guys have been there for a long time and found this thing?"
Zhang Lin said angrily: "It would be great to have something like this in the barren mountains! Let's go!"
Wang Kaixuan clapped his head, arranged his equipment, and followed Zhang Lin who left quickly. On the way, they met Hu Bayi, who went back to look for Zhang Lin but failed.
When Hu Bayi saw Shirley Yang actually leading people inside, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Miss Yang, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me to go back?"
Before Shirley Yang could reply, Professor Chen joined Hu Ba, who was looking anxious: "Comrade Xiao Hu, don't worry, Comrade Xiao Zhang is back, so we decided to move forward!"
As he spoke, he used a flashlight to shine on Hu Bayi's path: "What's going on ahead?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi glanced at Shirley Yang who was looking at him and confirmed: "Zhang Lin is back?"
Shirley Yang nodded and said, "He was looking at the terrain at the big glacier behind, and he just came in."
After taking over Professor Chen's words, he asked: "You went to the front, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "There is an underground river in front of us. You can take a rest on the river beach somewhere."
When everyone heard that there was an underground river, they all became excited.
The underground river in Kunlun Mountain is of great significance for investigation, so when I heard that there was an underground river ahead, I quickly accelerated forward.
Hu Bayi stood beside the team. When Zhang Lin walked to his side, he suddenly pulled him. After the team was a little farther away from the three of them, Hu Bayi asked: "Brother Zhang, where have you been these days?"
?”
"Report to Commander Hu!" Wang Kaixuan whispered into Hu Bayi's ear: "This kid is out to make extra money! Damn, he's more monkey-like than Fatty!"
Hu Bayi listened to Wang Kaixuan's words and looked at Zhang Linda with some embarrassment: "Brother Zhang, we are following the archaeological team this time and we must not take anything. In their eyes, the three of us are in the same group..."
"Don't worry!" Zhang Lin looked at the fat man and smiled: "I'm not a fat man, I can't control my own hands! I'm just checking the retreat terrain from behind and leaving some backup options."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he said, "Who do you think can't control their own hands?"
When Hu Bayi saw this, he said: "Okay, fat man, please stop saying a few words."
"no……"
Fatty Wang was about to speak, but Hu Bayi interrupted Fatty Wang and asked Zhang Lin with a smile: "What backup plan did Brother Zhang leave?"
"You will find out when we go back soon!" The three of them had already reached the entrance of the cave. Zhang Lin shined his flashlight on the underground river below: "Who knows what is there under this big glacier? Don't leave any backup plan in case something happens.
, where are we people going to run to? I’m afraid it’s all explained here.”
Hu Bayi frowned when he heard this, and Wang Kaixuan asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, what backup plan have you left?"
"you guess?"
"Hey, if you don't say it, don't say it. It's just a mystery!" Fatty Wang said and walked down.
Seeing Hu Bayi and Zhang Lin together, Shirley Yang came over and said, "Everyone has almost rested. We will cross the river after they finish rubbing the ancient cave inscriptions."
Shirley Yang turned on her flashlight to illuminate the cave on the other side of the underground river and said, "Where should the thing we are looking for be?"
"Miss Yang!" Hu Bayi took a sip of water and asked with a smile: "Can you tell us what you are looking for?"
As he spoke, he motioned to Zhang Linda: "Tell us, maybe we will meet, and I might as well bring you over. This will save time."
Zhang Lin knew that Shirley Yang was looking for the notes left by the previous expedition team, which recorded how to find the ancient city of Jingjue. At this time, seeing Hu Bayi asking, he also agreed: "Old Hu is right, Boss Yang, this place is so
Damn, it's really up to you. You can't find it alone.
If it’s nothing important, tell us its shape and characteristics, and we’ll help take a look.”
Shirley Yang stared at the two of them and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Yang. I am the one you hired to take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. Your safety is the second priority, so you can trust me!"
Shirley Yang took a photo of Zhang Lin with a flashlight and said, "Really? What about No. 1?"
"Of course it's me!" Zhang Lin raised his hand to block the bright light of the flashlight and said: "After all, I am safe only then I can guarantee your safety, boss, don't you think so?"
Shirley Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, if you can't protect yourself, how can you protect me?" She said, "I'm looking for a notebook, you can help me keep an eye on it."
"Notebook? OK!" Zhang Lin said that he would pay attention after hearing this, and Hu Bayi also nodded.
Seeing this, Shirley Yang said: "Get ready, we have to cross the river."
Shirley Yang left, Zhang Lin and Hu Bayi sat together, looking at the underground river five to six meters wide below. Zhang Lin touched Hu Bayi who was staring at Shirley Yang and suggested: "Brother Hu, what do you mean?
Shall we build a bridge?"
Hu Bayi heard this and asked: "We only have rope, how can we build it?"
