Soon the two people came to the electronic screen that was integrated into the stone, but found that the original disguise had disappeared to nowhere, and instead there were several rocks directly blocking the intersection.
After careful observation, he found that these gravels were covered with moss, and the surface was partially corroded by the wind. It seemed that these stones had been here a long time ago. If Lu Chen and Dong Lin hadn't come earlier,
When passing here, ordinary people would definitely not think that there is a passage behind this rubble.
"Haha, it seems that it's not inaction, it's already done." Dong Lin smiled, but he couldn't understand why someone would come here to block this intersection, and do it in such a subtle way.
, it was obviously done after careful planning. But Dong Lin didn't notice anyone walking in. Could it be someone inside did it?
But after thinking about it, I feel that things are not that simple. If it was really done inside, then it is certain that there is another passage inside, and the people inside must have escaped along that secret passage.
When Dong Lin spoke, he had already stretched out his palm and slapped it directly on the gravel, and pushed the pieces of gravel directly into the intersection without any effort.
The sun shines directly into the cave along the entrance, and the scene in front of them makes the two people gasp. Because under the sun, there are three people falling in front of the two people in a row.
There was even a stench emanating from their bodies. Needless to say, these three people had been dead for some time.
Dong Lin didn't speak at this time. After holding his breath, he squatted down and turned one of the people's bodies over. After all, the three people were lying on the ground after death.
Seeing that this person's face had turned black, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable for a while, but he could only observe this person carefully.
"There are no obvious external injuries. It doesn't look like he was killed." After taking a closer look, Dong Lin just came to this conclusion. Looking at this man's clothing, it was no different from the craftsmen he had seen before.
"How could this happen?" Lu Chen looked surprised. He thought that these three people might have been discovered after they escaped, and then were silenced. After all, the three people died exactly at the intersection.
But Dong Lin said that the three people died of natural causes.
Dong Lin did not answer Lu Chen's words, but took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it and walked a few steps inside, when the lighter suddenly went out.
Dong Lin came back directly and grabbed one of the people's arms. At this time, it was obvious that the person's fingertips were covered in blood and flesh, and there were some stone chips on the nails.
"It seems that these people all died of suffocation. They seemed to have struggled fiercely before their deaths, but they could not move away the gravel blocking the road." Dong Lin made this conclusion based on some things he learned.
"I can't figure it out. They are craftsmen. Besides, the city in the mountains is under construction. If someone blocks the intersection, they can just use their tools to dig out a road and escape." Lu Chen touched his chin and looked at it.
When it came to Dong Lin's demonstration, it was obvious that there was no air circulation inside. Looking at the fingertips of the three people, they must have been struggling violently. Dong Lin's guess was not wrong. However, it is not that there are no tools in this mountain. On the contrary,
There are all kinds of tools, including large excavators. It is not very difficult to dig out another road. People like them will not be so stupid to give up such good tools, but use their own
Use your hands to create a way of escape.
"Then I don't know about this. Let's wait for the air to enter a little before going in and taking a look. Maybe there is the answer we want inside." After Lu Chen's analysis, Dong Lin also began to waver in his speculation. However,
The facts are right in front of us, and there is no room for a second possibility.
The two of them had their own thoughts and just sat on the stone blocking the road that had been knocked open at the entrance of the cave. At this time, Dong Lin was no longer in the previous mood to talk to Lu Chen. At this time, Dong Lin was also deep in thought, wanting to
Find out what this is all about.
The two of them suddenly felt that time was passing a little slowly, and they were thinking of rushing in now to see what the situation was like inside, and whether the hundreds of people who were originally working inside were still safe.
Finally, an hour had passed, and Lu Chen and Dong Lin had no patience to wait any longer. However, Dong Lin was more anxious than Lu Chen at this time, and rushed directly into the cave without saying hello to Lu Chen. In order to
To avoid wasting air again, Dong Lin adjusted his breathing rhythm to the lowest level and did not light a fire to go in. Instead, he groped forward relying on the faint light in the darkness.
Lu Chen naturally followed Dong Lin closely, moving slowly along the road. Fortunately, the two of them did not find other bodies along the way.
Lu Chen couldn't help but let Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, hoping that no big accident happened to those people before.
"Wait a minute, this place seems to have been blocked." In the darkness, Dong Lin used a glimmer of light to discover that the final checkpoint to the city was also blocked by big rocks.
Lu Chen naturally saw it too. Before Dong Lin could finish his words, Lu Chen took the first step and slapped these huge rocks with his palm.
With a roar, these gravels could not block Lu Chen's full blow, and they immediately fell forward in the direction of Lu Chen's force.
Lu Chen couldn't wait and jumped out of the narrow hole first. However, the originally brightly lit and popular mountain city was now completely dark inside, and he couldn't see his fingers even if he stretched out his hand.
"Come back first. The air inside is quite thin. You won't be here long." Dong Lin, who caught up later, took out his lighter but lit it for a long time without lighting it. It seemed that the air here was also consumed. He quickly put it away.
Lu Chen was dragged back into the narrow entrance of the cave again.
The two people had no idea what the other's expression was like in the darkness. But they knew that both of them were in a very heavy mood and had no intention of talking. It was just like the darkness inside, which gave people an invisible feeling.
General feeling of oppression.
Finally, after another ten minutes of hard work, Lu Chen didn't wait any longer. He just took out his phone and used the bright light from the screen to shine in front of him to see what was going on inside.
I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped in like this, I almost tripped over something under my feet. After stumbling, Lu Chen, who stabilized his body, quickly took his phone to see what it was and almost tripped over him.
On the ground.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Lu Chen's brows furrowed once again. What he saw was a person's thigh, and this person was also wearing craftsman's clothes and lying on the ground. It seemed that this person was also
It had already lost all signs of life. This was the fourth corpse Lu Chen found.
Dong Lin glanced at the body lying on the ground, but this time he did not squat down to check. Unsurprisingly, this person also suffocated due to the thin air. But a bigger doubt directly appeared in the minds of the two people.
, don’t these people have any desire to struggle? Don’t they know how to use tools to open a channel for survival?
Dong Lin relied on the memory of his last visit and found a generator inside, preparing to generate electricity to light up the cave again, but then he discovered that the generator had no power at all, because the power here
There was no oil left in the oil drum.
"It seems that to find out the reason, I can only go out and get some diesel. You wait here, I will come back as soon as I go." Dong Lin couldn't explore such a large place thoroughly in the dark.
.If you want to see what is going on here, you still have to rely on a generator.
Lu Chen nodded and said nothing. Now he felt quite burdened. Although he didn't know any of these people, after all, they were all people who were still alive before, and it was very likely that the deaths of these people were caused by himself and Dong.
It was caused by Dong Lin. If he and Dong Lin had not revealed their identities, these people would still be continuing construction here with the dream of getting rich.
Although these dreams may not come true, it is better than lying on the cold ground without anyone noticing.
Waiting for Dong Lin to leave, Lu Chen did not stop where he was, but continued to move forward with the weak light of his mobile phone, wondering what the situation of the rest of the people was like now.
After walking only a few steps, Lu Chen found four or five more corpses, and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom. It was obvious that the rest of the people would not end well.
Dong Lin's speed was extremely fast. He probably used his inner breath. He carried two oil barrels back to the cave in just over ten minutes. He found the generator again and filled it with diesel.
after.
There was a burst of noisy sounds, and the lights were lit one by one, until the entire city in the mountains was once again presented before the eyes of the two people.
The scene in front of them made the two of them fall into shock again. The half-cultivated hilltop in front of them was already filled with dozens of people. Most of them actually knelt down on half of the hilltop.
They raised their necks, raised their heads high, and opened their mouths wide, as if they wanted to suck all the surrounding air into their mouths. Obviously, this was their last desperate struggle.
