Chapter 31: The Bottomless Pit

The figure shrank back under the canvas. I wanted to take a look, but I knew it wouldn't work. The guy looked carefully in the room where we were going to stay, and after making sure there was nothing abnormal, he pulled me in. From what I saw

After extending to the platform under the canvas, it can no longer be quiet. Sometimes people don't know the truth, but it doesn't mean that they don't have related premonitions.

I don’t know what kind of fighting is going on in the room we stayed in just now. I can only hear intermittent collisions. After waiting here for a few minutes, someone ran over quickly against the wall from the direction of the entrance. Green

The sound of the skin man and the big rat fighting was a bit harsh in the corridor. The figure was attracted and immediately slowed down and got closer.

"It seems to be the master." The guy with the night vision goggles whispered to me. After another two minutes, he was already sure that it was the mustache.

We quickly called Mustache back. He was not injured, which made me feel more at ease.

"We must be more than just two groups of people here." Mustache told me something about the situation. He led the kidnappers outside the entrance. They wanted to escape, but it would not be easy. But the kidnappers obviously encountered other enemies.

Because of the encounter and collision between them, Xiaowu found the opportunity to escape smoothly and rush back.

I told him about the platform that extended under the canvas and the figures hurriedly moving below. Before our conversation was over, Lao Zhao ran back like a thief. He was also attracted by the collision in the room next to him.

He seemed very cautious, but he was pulled in by me.

When people gathered together, I wanted to go to the first floor, but Lao Zhao said that the three stairs in the semi-circular floor were probably blocked at the corners.

"Go over there and try. There is a blind spot there. If possible, we can use the blind spot to get down."

Lao Zhao just led all the people who were chasing him to the third floor. There was not much time, so a few people ran with Lao Zhao desperately. We ran to one end of the floor in one breath. This is where it connects with the stone wall. There is a very thick

Concrete pillars and rows

The light coming from below the steel bar was blocked by the pillar. From the second floor to the first floor, the ground was about six or seven meters high. Lao Zhao chose a suitable location, tied a rope to the steel bar and hung it down, then stretched out his hand.

In a blink of an eye, he slipped down the rope.

We all followed him and slid down. The light was very strong, and there was the huge canvas twenty or thirty meters in front of us. We bent over and ran towards the canvas. The canvas was fixed by iron rings nailed into the stone, and we got in.

After that, with the help of very strong light, the scene inside was almost clear at a glance. Except for some things blocked by stones, everything else was clearly visible.

I finally knew what was covered under this canvas. The canvas covered it as if it were a very large well. Of course, the well was just a description, it was a large naturally formed pit. The mouth of the pit was irregular in shape, about thirty meters in diameter.

, a visual inspection shows how deep it is, but when the light from the edge of the pit is projected, it is swallowed up in the darkness below.

"Bottomless pit?" Lao Zhao muttered in a low voice.

A few of us were hiding behind a stone five or six meters away from the big pit. At a glance, the opposite side was the place with the strongest light, and it was also where the platform we saw before extended into. The platform was very large and extended into the big pit.

Several meters away, it's like hanging above the black hole. There are obviously some facilities on the platform, but they can't be seen clearly.

There are also some things on the edges of the pit on the left and right sides of the platform, as well as a row of very powerful searchlights. Some of them can still be used normally. The strong beams of the searchlights are all projected into the pit. However, this kind of strong light cannot fully illuminate the pit.

, the depths of the pit are still dark, and it is unclear what is there.

It can be seen that some people from the other side are gathered around the platform. After the eyes are fully adapted to the environment here, more things that were not noticed before come into view. The Baozi Mountain Cave has been abandoned for a long time, but in 356

When we were stationed, there were traces of work everywhere around the irregular edge of this large pit. Less than a few meters away from us, there was an abandoned small machine.

This is a very simple machine. It has the same function as the windlass on the water well. It is an electric winching shaft. The round shaft is wrapped with circles of thin blackened steel cables. As long as the power is turned on and restarted, the round shaft can be controlled freely.

The rotation and the retracting and unwinding of the steel cable.

The winching shaft is right next to the big pit. It can be inferred that the purpose of this machine is to hang the steel cable into the depth of the big pit and then retract it.

If this is the case, how deep is the pit? The steel cable drum on the winch is very thick, at least several hundred meters long.

There is an electric winch like this every twenty meters or so around the edge of the pit, and in the middle of the electric winch, there are also some manual winches using very thin nylon ropes.

At this time, a strong searchlight suddenly moved and swept around the entire pit like a patrol. We hid tightly behind the stone. When the strong light shone over, I suddenly jumped out from behind the stone.

I saw a thin rope hanging in the pit, maybe someone put it down and then forgot to take it back. There was a ball tied to one end of the thin rope, hanging quietly about ten meters below the pit.

At this moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body. I knew what they were doing. They tied people with ropes and lowered them to the depths of the pit. I didn’t know what was in the pit, but they were tied up.

Once the person is brought back, he may be that kind of terrifying green man.

I suddenly turned my head and looked towards the platform opposite. Sure enough, several busy figures on the platform were doing such a thing. They used a manual winch to tie a curled up person to one end of the rope, and then

He was slowly lowered into the pit. My heart suddenly felt like being pricked by countless needles. Lei Yingxiong and Lei Duo might be on the opposite side. The distance was too far, and I couldn’t see clearly whether the people being lowered down now were the same.

One of them.

I couldn't control myself a little bit, so I grabbed the mustache beside me. He didn't speak, but quickly looked at the surrounding environment. There were more people on the other side, but some of them went outside to chase the enemy, while others concentrated on

around the platform.

"Cover from both sides." Mustache whispered to us.

The word "outflank" may be a bit inappropriate. We only have five people. How are we going to outflank the opponent? But only by attacking from both sides can we effectively disperse the enemy and increase our success rate. At this time, we can no longer formulate any detailed plans.

A little later, Lei Duo's life may not be saved, so he can only save people first.

The light here is very strong, and the night vision device is almost useless. Mustache led me and a boy to push towards the platform as quickly as possible from here, while Lao Zhao led another boy and made a big circle to the other side.

Get close to the platform. Fortunately, the terrain along the edge of the pit is a bit complicated, so it's not very difficult to avoid the lights and get closer.

Finally, we arrived at the scheduled location almost at the same time as Lao Zhao. We were very close to the platform at this moment. In addition to the people on the platform, I saw about a dozen people near the edge of the pit under the platform.

We had made all preparations. Lao Zhao took the lead in launching the attack there. He and another guy were mainly responsible for attracting the enemy, so the firepower was very fierce. The two of them almost used up two shuttles of bullets in one breath. Beside me

The guy behind the cover also emptied the bullets in the gun and then replaced the magazine.

As expected, the opponent's nest exploded. Several people under the platform were knocked down. The rest hurriedly tried to avoid the resistance, and a few people on the platform also jumped down. The three guns suppressed the opponent's offensive in an instant. Mustache

He quickly climbed up on a steel beam supported under the platform and climbed towards the platform. He climbed very fast, climbed to a place close to the platform, turned over violently and jumped onto the platform.

I also started climbing along the steel beam, which was supported diagonally under the platform. Halfway through the climb, my body was suspended above the pit. If I missed it, I would fall immediately. But already

I couldn't care less about being afraid. The extreme danger obviously stimulated me. I quickly climbed to the top, then turned over and jumped onto the platform.

There were a total of five people on the platform. During the time I was climbing, Mustache had accidentally knocked down two of them. His shot was very heavy, and the alloy tube directly penetrated the enemy's heart. When I turned over,

An enemy happened to be just a few meters in front of me. I rushed over to him, put the muzzle of my gun against his back, and fired several shots.

There were several empty iron cages on one side of the platform. Behind the iron cages, five or six people were tied up and huddled on the ground. I saw Lei Duo at a glance. She was leaning against another woman in her thirties, her soft body

Almost shrank into a ball.

The two remaining people on the platform were both very skilled. Mustache pressed them down and beat them, forcing each other step by step to the steps of the platform. It was temporarily safe here, so I rushed over to see the five or six people who were tied up.

They were probably all the surviving travelers, and their eyes were a little dull. When I cut off the ropes on their bodies, there were still people sitting there blankly, looking at me blankly, as if they were a little at a loss.

But there is only so much I can do to others. I hugged Lei Duo. Her body was very cold, and she was obviously frightened by the twists and turns along the way. Her eyes were not as agile as usual, and she looked at

It was like looking at a stranger. However, I could clearly feel that her hands and body were trembling slightly.

She was really frightened.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here..." I hugged her and bent down to follow Mustache, wanting to rush out from here. Even if I rushed to the floor, it would be much safer.

"Don't...don't leave me..." Lei Duo seemed to suddenly struggle out of the endless nightmare-like fear. She didn't cry or scream, but she shed tears and held her tightly.

Hold me and never let go.
