Of course, Ning Xiaofan was not too busy at the moment and casually clicked on a file marked "Prospecting Roadmap".
The file was opened, and the screen displayed a row of belonging files. Each file was labeled with text. Ning Xiaofan glanced at it and was stunned. He saw the label belonging to his own prospecting team - No. 03 Advance Prospecting Group.
Click on the file and a map will be displayed.
Ning Xiaofan took a closer look and found that this map turned out to be a route map that he had traveled before. Starting from the lower tiankeng, he traveled through underground rivers, stone forests, plains, tunnels, forests, grasslands, rivers, and the ones he had recently walked through.
The wasteland is completely marked with a red line.
How could this road map be mastered by Grotto so quickly?
Ning Xiaofan murmured in his heart, but soon realized that the tablet he was carrying could receive the signal from the grotto, and he was following the route map in the tablet. He probably would have automatically recorded his route at that time.
The team's direction of travel.
Since my own route map can be updated on this computer, then the other prospecting team’s route map should also be available, right?
Ning Xiaofan most wants to know how Qin Yulan is doing now.
As far as he knew, Qin Yulan's team of experts entered the sinkhole on the same day and time as his team, but they took different routes.
Clicking on the team's file, Ning Xiaofan was stunned again when the route detected by Qin Yulan's team was displayed.
No way, the route is so short?
According to the starting route of the route, Qin Yulan and herself both started from Base No. 3, but the mine tunnels they entered were slightly different, but the route they took was at least one-third shorter than the route Ning Xiaofan explored.
Second, depending on the length of the route, it is estimated that it will only take about three days to reach the grotto.
Looking at the markings on the routes that Qin Yulan and his party walked, they showed that most of them were caves, underground rivers, and canyons. As for forests and grasslands, there were no signs.
Seeing this, Ning Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. From this relatively simple route, it can be seen that Qin Yulan and his party did not encounter the dreamlike forest or any strange prehistoric monsters.
Qin Yulan and his party have not walked through that strange place, so what about the other prospecting teams?
Ning Xiaofan opened the folders of the remaining prospecting teams one by one, and the results were the same. The routes explored by these teams were not long, and the terrain was relatively simple. The place they walked seemed to be no different from an ordinary underground mine.
Nothing surprising.
From this point of view, entering that strange area, there are only my team and Li Wanting's scientific research team, oh, there is another team, La Belle's team.
Ning Xiaofan thought about it carefully and realized that he must have taken the wrong route and arrived at that strange area. As for Li Wanting and his party, she once said that her team accidentally entered the glowing forest through a cave.
.As for LaBelle’s team, I don’t know how they got involved?
There were more than ten advance prospecting teams in total. Ning Xiaofan thought that every team that entered the sinkhole had to enter that area. In fact, that was not the case. There were only three teams that entered the dreamy and strange forest.
. It can be seen from this that the route I am traveling on may be virgin territory that no one has set foot on before.
I wonder if the people above know there is such a place?
Ning Xiaofan continued to check the information for a while, but the subsequent information was relatively bland, and there was no record of prehistoric ruins.
Ning Xiaofan browsed for a while and lost interest. He closed the computer and checked the time. There was still an hour before lunch time.
Ning Xiaofan remembered that almost all of his team's equipment was lost. Before lunch, he could go to the logistics warehouse to collect equipment supplies.
Coming out of the room, Ning Xiaofan rang the doorbell of the room where Fatty and others lived one by one.
After a while, there was some movement in these stone gates. After that, Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi were doing better. They had a good night's sleep and their energy was basically restored. However, Fatty, Hou San and others were still yawning a lot and looked listless.
Like.
However, when Fatty and others heard that Ning Xiaofan said they were going to collect equipment, they all became energetic again.
The logistics warehouse is located in Area P, which is still some distance away from the area where Ning Xiaofan and others live. Not only that, the passages in this grotto extend in all directions, like a maze. Ning Xiaofan and others are new here and are not very familiar with them.
You have to use the route displayed on the tablet to determine the direction.
After going around seven times and eight times, I occasionally encountered people walking towards me along the way. However, the people I met were relatively indifferent and did not say hello to Ning Xiaofan and others.
After more than ten minutes, the group finally saw the passage marked with the word "P". They followed the passage inward. Soon, they saw two armed men standing at the end of the passage. Behind the two armed men was a thick stone door.
.
Ning Xiaofan and others showed their IDs honestly. After checking it, one of the armed men said nothing, took out a magnetic card, swiped the card reader next to the stone door, and the stone door slid open quietly.
The stone door is brightly lit, and there is a hall of about a hundred square meters. There are several closed stone doors on the walls around the hall. On one side of the hall, there are two stone tables, with computers placed on the stone tables and people sitting behind the tables.
Two women in uniform suits.
Both women are young and pretty in appearance. Perhaps their skin is fairer because they have lived in a place without sunlight for a long time.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" one of the women asked.
"We are here to receive equipment supplies." Ning Xiaofan replied.
"Which company are you from?"
"Xin'ao Group."
"Xin'ao Group? Is it a prospecting team? What's the number?"
"It's the prospecting team, No. 03."
"Well, please wait a moment..." the woman said, and operated on the computer keyboard: "Yes, No. 03 advance prospecting team, leader Ning Xiaofan, are you Mr. Ning Xiaofan?"
"It's me."
"Well, please come with me."
The woman smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the stone door not far from her.
I also used a magnetic card to open the stone door and turned on the light. I saw wooden boxes of various sizes and some scattered materials neatly stacked inside the stone door.
"Are you receiving a full set of supplies?" the woman asked again.
Full set? Ning Xiaofan was slightly startled, but then he said: "Full set, of course it's a complete set...
"That's it, then there is no need to open the boxes one by one. There are 7 of you in total. Just take away box No. 1, box 3, and box 7. You still need to sign when you're done."
So simple?
Ning Xiaofan was startled again and asked quickly: "What's in the box?"
“There is a full set of personal equipment, clothes, shoes and socks, helmets, gloves, high-light flashlights, batteries, and individual rations, etc. There is also a set of single-person tents, guns and ammunition, and some auxiliary equipment and supplies, as well as all the team’s supplies.
The supplies you need, such as rubber boats, diving equipment, etc., in short, the supplies you need are all complete. If there are other needs, you can collect them according to the actual situation."
After the woman explained, she added: "If there are no problems, you can take the equipment and materials away. Remember, they are boxes No. 1, 3 and 7. Don't get the wrong ones."
Ning Xiaofan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked Lao Wang, Fatty and others to look for the boxes with the mentioned numbers.
There are numbers on the boxes, so it is not difficult to find them. However, the boxes are not small in size. Except for the smaller wooden box No. 7, the length and width of the wooden boxes No. 1 and No. 3 are about 1.5 meters. It is estimated that two or three people can lift it.
It was very difficult to get up, let alone carry it away.
Fortunately, the woman quickly solved the problem for everyone. There is a hand-drag trailer in the warehouse, and all it takes is to lift the wooden box onto the forklift.
Three boxes and three forklifts were used. After Ning Xiaofan signed the words, the group came empty-handed and returned fully loaded.
Returning to the accommodation area, Ning Xiaofan and others opened the wooden boxes in the hall and began to check the equipment and supplies in the wooden boxes.
The first wooden box was opened, and there were backpacks stacked on the surface. No more, no less. There were 7 backpacks in total. I took out the backpack and opened it and took a look. It contained personal items such as clothes, shoes, and socks, and there were also folded cylinders.
Single-person tents, moisture-proof mats, etc.
Except for Ning Xiaofan, who was wearing decent clothes, the rest of them were already in tatters, dirty and slovenly. The newly received clothes could save everyone from embarrassment.
In addition to the backpack, this wooden box also contains sealed blocks of grain, as well as some auxiliary supplies for one person, such as flashlights, batteries, and even cigarettes, chewing gum, etc.
The second wooden box is the heaviest. When you open it, you will find an inflatable rubber boat, a diving suit, a diving bottle and other items inside.
The third wooden box, wooden box No. 7, was smaller but also very heavy. Before opening it, Ning Xiaofan could roughly guess that it contained items such as guns and ammunition. After opening it, as expected, it turned out that
The top layer is an assault rifle wrapped in oil paper, and there are also Type 95 pistols, daggers, tactical vests, equipped magazines, bullets, etc.
Seeing these guns and ammunition, Fatty, Hou San and others were all excited, but Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly. For him, it was not a good thing to be equipped with these hot weapons, which meant that the next trip was not ordinary.
The danger of...
The supplies were very complete, and Ning Xiaofan immediately distributed them. Each person had a backpack, a long and short weapon, and corresponding ammunition. The remaining team items were handed over to Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi for safekeeping.
After the personal supplies were distributed, everyone went back to their rooms to change clothes. Even Ning Xiaofan changed his clothes. When everyone came out of the stone house again, they were completely new. One by one, you looked at me, and I looked at you.
, having fun there...
After a long walk from Beijing, Shandong and other places, I was exhausted. I went home and rested for a day yesterday, and will resume updating today.
