Chapter 27 Emergencies

In the lights and lights, Luo An had the illusion of being spinning - the cliff was pulling and tearing, the ground was waving like waves, and the ancient ruins of amazing size actually turned like a Rubik's Cube on his head.

With the earthquake, large-scale landslides began to appear in the remains. The magnificent and ancient boulder structure disintegrated and poured into the creepy roar, smashing towards the personnel passages and facilities below.

In order to conduct this scientific expedition, the official has laid a large number of engineering cabins at the bottom of the deep pit of the ruins, which are used as research rooms, warehouses, dormitories and conference rooms. Since there are many bottomless gullies and cliffs at the bottom of the deep pit, the cabins are connected by solid sealed pipes and stairs. In this way, even if dangerous gases are exposed or radiation from radiation in the ruins, sealed facilities and channels can ensure the safety of personnel and specimens.

However, earthquakes and landslides occurred here. The structure of the boulder that has been intact for tens of thousands of years has been displaced in violent tremors, peeling off thousands of tons of gravel, pouring down like an avalanche, instantly flattening a piece of facility. Many staff members who were lucky enough not to be killed in the landslide were trapped like mice that fell into a trap.

"Run!" The lieutenant turned on the searchlight on his helmet, raised his hand and pointed forward, "Come on me!"

There was no time to hesitate, and Luo An and the assistant professor followed the lieutenant back. Along the way, they saw many panicked and blurred figures escaping from the cabin, drilling out of the pipes, and jumping out of the windows, like a group of mice that were about to escape from the sunken broken boat.

After escaping like this for a while, the three of them came to the front of a passage. The violently shaking earth had calmed down, leaving behind a messy and a passage that was flattened by huge rocks. The entrance to the passage had been destroyed, and the other parts were twisted into a twist-like shape by huge forces, hanging on the cliffs underground and shaking.

Luo An was already running out of breath, and asked while resting, "What's going on?"

No one paid attention to him.

Luo An asked loudly again, and then he found that the communication signal on the helmet had been interrupted. Only by shouting loudly can the companions hear it.

"The remains are very large, and deeper underground may be buried something that we don't know. It may also be that our excavation work destroyed the low-quality structure," the lieutenant quickly checked the passages around, selected a location, and took out a metal tube from his waist. "The communication was interrupted, and some roads were destroyed by rocks, but the damaged area was not large. I can try to open a road to go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery red beam of light ejected from the metal tube. The lieutenant inserted the beam into the twisted metal wall in front of him, cutting a square hole from left to right.

"Hey, you won't want to get through it!" The assistant professor exclaimed, "If something falls above, or if you walk halfway through this thing, you will definitely have no chance of surviving!"

"Maybe, but the earthquake just now may have destroyed the structure of the ruins. If you stay here, you will face the danger of collapse." The lieutenant pointed to the top of his head. The towering irregular rock structure in the ruins had only blurred shadows in the dim light, hanging high above everyone's heads like a sword seeking life.

"I'll go first. There is a relay station not far ahead to collect damage in nearby areas. If you are lucky, you can establish a certain range of communication signals to contact the rescue team," the lieutenant attached himself and turned around before entering the passage, "You can wait for me here and don't walk away."

After saying that, he got into the dangerous passage alone. This was a road across the cliff. The broken metal pipe walls and equipment hung on the cliff and creaked when the rocks hit. Below was an unfathomable valley. It was a dizzy look at it.

"He is so brave!" Luo An sighed softly.

"You are right, and you have extraordinary action and firm will," said the assistant professor. "Have you ever met his girlfriend?"

"No, what does it matter?"

"If you've seen him, you'll think he's braver," said the assistant professor with a little enviousness. "If I had such a beauty accompany me, I wouldn't have come to this ghost place to take risks."

The two waited for a while, but the lieutenant did not come to contact him. Instead, a group of people came from behind. They were also wearing protective suits, but they had various signs hanging from different units.

The surrounding emergency lighting has recovered a little, with pale and panicked faces behind transparent helmets. They supported each other, some people broke their arms and legs, and others also had obvious damage and blood on their protective suits. After the earthquake and collapse were temporarily stopped, the survivors fell to the ground one after another.

Everyone gasped for a while, a young woman stood up and asked to Luo An: "I am Rockwell, a reporter from Copru TV. What happened to the earthquake just now? Do you know what you know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a handsome dark-skinned guy shouted: "I heard that I came here to be a chef because of my high salary, and I didn't come here to play the temple escape!"

"I have to correct you, sir, this is not a temple," said the third person, who spoke to a middle-aged man. "I am Campbell, a professor of archaeology at Brown University, and was invited to come here to investigate. My graduate student and I got separated. Does anyone see them passing by?"

The assistant professor raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to calm down: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, please don't talk like the opening of the horror movie. I am assistant professor Lin Ke. A brave officer has already drilled into the hole and is ready to go to the relay station in front to check the situation and seek rescue. As long as he contacts his superiors, everything will be fine."

Hearing this, the messy scene became more stable. Everyone asked how long the lieutenant had been away, when would he be able to get rescue, and whether there would be a new landslide.

Regarding the last question, another survivor stood up and expressed his opinion: "I am Colin, a mechanical engineer at the scientific research station. The ancient building structures above our heads are very stable, and the landslide just now is simply incredible. My opinion is that since these structures that have been stable for tens of thousands of years have been damaged, it is definitely not a simple earthquake. I can tell you the responsibility of telling you that these structures will also be broken and dropped. The scale is just a drop in the bucket compared to the scale of the remains, but when it falls on our heads, it is an avalanche of large stones the size of a truck. We will be crushed like tofu!"

Thank you, this news is really exciting. Luo An and everyone's faces became ugly.

At this time, the lieutenant's voice suddenly came from the communicator:

"Hey guys, I finally arrived at the nearest transit station, which is safer, but from your location you need to crawl in the pipeline for nearly ten minutes, and the pipeline is shaking. I can't contact the inspection station command, and the communication signal can only cover a small area nearby.

"The instrument detected signs of earthquakes, and there may be multiple aftershocks next. If you are willing to take a risk, I will show you the direction; if you want to take a safer road, there is a slightly further road near you to the medical station, and there is also a passage out there."
