The area of this rock mass is much larger than expected. After walking for half an hour, this ravine has been extending, as if there is no end.
However, when everyone passed through an extremely narrow passage, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the terrain in front suddenly became open.
Speaking of open, it is a relative term. The towering rock walls on both sides still exist, but the gully has become wider, and the terrain looks almost like a valley.
The valley can accommodate more than ten people walking side by side, and the terrain is relatively flat. Unlike before, the passages are narrow, and from time to time you have to encounter steep slopes.
The terrain became wider and the next road became much easier to walk. Everyone was in a good mood. Ning Xiaofan saw that Professor Zhao and others were very tired from walking all the way and were a little out of breath, so he called everyone to rest on the spot.
People have three urgent needs, and Li Wanting was no exception. She took this opportunity to quickly find a corner where no one could see her to solve her physical problems.
The rest of the people were all a bunch of big men, but they didn't have so many scruples. Ning Xiaofan included, they found a place nearby, opened the zipper, took out the bird, and started "releasing the water" for a while.
The sound of Lili was loud.
After draining the water, Ning Xiaofan had just pulled up his pants when he heard Li Wanting calling: "Xiaofan, Xiaofan, come here..."
Ning Xiaofan knew that Li Wanting was going to solve a physical problem. He was slightly startled when he heard the call. What was she calling him for? Did she forget to bring some paper?
Looking at Fatty, Hou San and others, who were winking at him with indescribably vulgar expressions, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, he didn't notice that Wang Zhipeng, who was resting not far away, was also looking at him.
There was a trace of jealousy in his eyes.
Although Ning Xiaofan felt embarrassed, since Li Wanting called him, he couldn't go.
Arriving at the corner where Li Wanting was, Ning Xiaofan saw Li Wanting standing pretty next to a huge rock. It seemed that she had not forgotten to bring paper or something.
Before Ning Xiaofan even came close, Li Wanting pointed at the rock with excitement and said, "Xiaofan, someone has been here before!"
Has anyone been here? Ning Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this. He almost didn't believe his ears. He walked over quickly, followed Li Wanting's finger, and his eyes suddenly focused on it.
Due to his line of sight, Ning Xiaofan did not expect that there was an open space behind the huge rock. It was not large, about forty square meters. In the center of the open space, there was a pile of dark charcoal, which should be a bonfire.
Residues after burning.
The key is, besides people, what else can light a bonfire?
If they are humans, who are they? A prospecting team? Or are there humans in this underground world? There cannot be any primitive people living here, right?
Although the idea is absurd, it is very possible. Since there are extinct dinosaurs here, it is not surprising that there are primitive people surviving from ancient times.
While thinking, Ning Xiaofan looked around, hoping to find some clues.
This small open space behind the rocks is located in a corner under the cliff. It is hidden and leeward. It is good as a temporary camp.
Soon, Ning Xiaofan discovered that there were several scattered cigarette butts on the ground not far from the bonfire.
There were cigarette butts, indicating that most of the humans who appeared here belonged to the prospecting team. Ning Xiaofan felt relieved. In his heart, he was really not mentally prepared to deal with primitive people.
Ning Xiaofan walked over and picked up a cigarette butt and looked at it. There was an English logo of the "Camel" brand on the cigarette butt.
Camel cigarettes are American products, and their brand history can be traced back to the First World War. They are considered old-fashioned cigarettes and are not uncommon in China. Ning Xiaofan picked up the remaining cigarette butts and took a look. Except for "Camel" cigarettes, one of the cigarette butts
It has the "tiger" logo and belongs to the well-known British brand - Tiger Head cigarettes.
The cigarette butts on the ground are all of foreign brands, maybe they are foreign prospecting teams.
According to time calculation, Ning Xiaofan and others were among the first advance teams to enter the tiankeng. However, perhaps because they took the wrong route, not only did they encounter the joint scientific expedition team from Xin'ao and Jiangnan before that, but they also encountered
There are other teams appearing, and it seems that one team has caught up from behind.
Judging from the logo on the cigarette butt, it seems that an overseas team may have stopped here. I just don’t know how this overseas team came to this place? How many teams have already gone ahead?
Just when Ning Xiaofan was thinking about it with a cigarette butt, Li Wanting came to him and said excitedly: "Xiaofan, are you from other teams? I wonder where they are at the moment? If you can touch me,
It’ll be great if we arrive. There are more people and we are more powerful. It will be much safer if more people gather together and go on the road together..."
Ning Xiaofan saw the excited look on her face, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. She was much safer? Not necessarily...
Li Wanting may not know that there is a competitive relationship between the prospecting teams, but Ning Xiaofan knows very well that it is not a good thing to find traces of the prospecting team here. Sometimes, human surnames are often much scarier and more evil than certain creatures.
While thinking, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but remind: "Sister Ting, don't be happy first. It's not necessarily a good thing for someone to appear here. Don't forget that before I met you, you and Professor Zhao had
Attacked by an unknown team."
Ning Xiaofan's reminder made Li Wanting's face turn pale, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes: "Oops, look at me remembering my last name, I'm just patronizing and happy. You're right, what if it's...
If the gang of bad guys who attacked us come here, we will be in danger, Xiaofan, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, they may not be the guys who attacked you. Even if they are, we are not vegetarians. In short, we just need to be more careful on the road..." Ning Xiaofan didn't want her to worry, so he acted indifferently.
I sighed slightly in my heart. This place was already full of dangers, but I didn't expect to find traces of another team, and the risk of instability increased a few points.
Afterwards, Ning Xiaofan and Li Wanting walked around the open space and found nothing except the remaining bonfires and a few cigarette butts. They didn't know when the people who stayed here would come back? Or had they just left?
Ning Xiaofan was a little worried about the return of those who had stayed here, so he called to Li Wanting and planned to meet up with Fatty and others before leaving quickly.
However, when Li Wanting discovered that there were traces of humans in this place, she was so excited that she forgot to solve her physical problems. Ning Xiaofan had a close relationship with her and could not leave her alone here, so she had to leave outside the rock.
Wait a moment.
The patter of the voice was somewhat clear, and Ning Xiaofan was inevitably a little embarrassed when he heard it. Li Wanting was not much better. When she came out from behind the rock, she was embarrassed to meet him, and the blush on her pretty face became even brighter.
Water dripping out...
The two came to the valley and met up with Fatty and others. Ning Xiaofan informed everyone about the human traces found behind the rocks.
It is possible that another team has stayed here, and the previous activities of Fatty, Hou San and others have been hidden. They have a deep understanding of the abuse and deception among humans, so they are naturally worried. Professor Zhao, Professor Wu and others
Humans are much simpler. They seem to have forgotten that they were attacked by an unknown team and act very happy. After all, in the minds of the two experts and professors, humans are obviously much cuter than huge dinosaurs.
Once an unknown team is found to be operating nearby, even if the enemy or friend is unknown, it is best to discover the other party's traces as early as possible.
Ning Xiaofan didn't want to be passive while dealing with the possible appearance of dinosaurs, but also had to deal with a team whose enemy and friend were unknown, so he immediately ordered everyone to pack up and leave quickly.
Soon after, several tall and straight trees appeared in front of them. Their dense crowns were lush and lush, like several giant open umbrellas. The appearance of the woods meant that the passage that ran through the entire rock mass had reached its end.
The exit was not far away, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Bang!
Accompanied by the sudden dull gunfire, Yang Hai, who was walking at the front, had a splash of blood on his head and fell to the ground!
The gunshots came without any warning, and everyone was immediately stunned by the sudden attack!
Ning Xiaofan's reaction was quite fast. Almost as soon as the gunshot sounded, he reached out and grabbed Li Wanting next to him to lie down on the ground! Immediately afterwards, Ning Xiaofan hugged Li Wanting and rolled on the ground several times, hiding behind a rock.
.
After hiding his body, Ning Xiaofan saw Fatty and others still standing there, with horrified expressions on their faces, as if they hadn't recovered yet, so he couldn't help but yelled urgently: "Get down! Get down quickly!"
When everyone heard Ning Xiaofan's roar, they came to their senses. Fatty, Hou San, and Zhang Chun had enough brains. As soon as they came to their senses, they quickly fell to the ground. But Chen Biao, Lao Wang, and Xiao Shanzi
Wang Zhipeng and others were in a mess, standing there in a daze, or crawling around looking for a place to hide. Especially the two experts who had little strength value seemed to be confused and stood there with a blank look on their faces.
It gives people a sense of being at a loss!
Bang! Bang bang!
A few more gunshots!
Ning Xiaofan's hearing was sensitive and he had already determined that it was the sound of an assault rifle, and it was a burst fire! What surprised him was that the moment the gunshot rang out, the two experts who were standing there at a loss didn't do anything at all. They reacted very quickly.
The armed man surnamed Wu who was already lying on the ground had several blood clusters bursting out from his body!
The armed man surnamed Wu was shot several times, and his body twitched. Soon, large areas of bright red blood filled his body, and he looked like he would die!
The attack came suddenly! In the blink of an eye, two people were killed by an invisible enemy!
Ning Xiaofan felt cold and resentful at the sight. However, as a bomb expert, he has a strong psychological quality. Although he is angry, his mind is clear enough!
From when Yang Hai was shot to when the armed man surnamed Wu was shot several times, he immediately analyzed the opponent's purpose! Yang Hai and the armed men surnamed Wu were equipped with Type 95 automatic rifles. The other party did not attack and stood there in confusion, with the targets facing each other.
The two conspicuous experts specifically attacked the two armed men holding Type 95s. Their purpose could not be simpler, which was to take the lead in killing their own firepower!
