I'm not a particularly rigid person. When I find a problem that I can't solve or can't explain clearly, I immediately consider the next step. Guobao is right, Santaihezi is really an unpeaceful place, and various situations are connected together.
, it became increasingly unsettling. I gave up the idea of taking another look, and immediately returned to the ground with Xiaoning and the others.
This problem bothered me all the way. When I went back, Zhang Qiao woke up and was gobbling up food. I ran to him alone and asked him why he was running around yesterday, which caused me to encounter another headache.
"I didn't run around." Zhang Qiao looked at me confusedly: "I really didn't run away by myself."
Zhang Qiao, like me, also encountered something. Last night, he was relieving himself, but the back of his neck tightened, and he immediately lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was already in the car.
I still have some doubts about Xiaoning and Ai Guobao, but it is different with Zhang Qiao. Brain capacity determines everything, and our relationship is not just a day or two, he will not lie to me.
"I really need to think about this matter carefully." I touched my chin and began to think. As I thought about it, I looked at Zhang Qiao. I remember that the moment before I lost consciousness, someone had been asking about the black hole password, but where was Zhang Qiao?
Is there anything worth asking about him?
The remaining few people began to prepare for departure. They were very measured and knew the importance. No matter what happened in Santaihezi, this was a secondary goal. The real destination was Xihaihe.
I couldn't calm down along the way. Guobao and the others started to take a nap, and I was the only one thinking about my thoughts. Things were inevitable as I thought before. Once they started, messy things appeared one after another, which was difficult to deal with.
When I raised my head, I accidentally saw Pang Bin watching me secretly. This big man didn't speak much and had a tough aura, which made it difficult to communicate, so I never said much to him. I know Pang Bin
Bin is a character, and his abilities should be no worse than those of a national treasure. But at this moment, when I saw his eyes in the rearview mirror, I shuddered.
His sharp gaze seems to be condensed with infinite energy, and he can see through people's hearts at a glance.
However, I did not avoid his gaze. In the end, he felt a little uncomfortable and threw me a bag of things with his backhand: "Eat, keep your spirits up. We have really arrived at our destination. There is a lot of activity. If you don't eat enough, you won't be able to withstand it."
"
After leaving Santaihezi, everything went smoothly, and the car ran without any problems. This made people suspect that Santaihezi was a bad luck place. It was still about ten hours away from Xihaihe, Xiao Xiao
Ning forced me to repeat some of the details I had explained before. It was a dangerous place and one should not be careless.
Finally, the real destination appeared in front of me, the Xihai River. It was far less mysterious than I imagined. It looked like countless inconspicuous corners in the desert. The ground buildings here were completely destroyed. Originally, the ground
The building above is not important, the core is underground. We made some arrangements. The driver has to stay above. It is very difficult to carry the burden of Zhang Qiao, but it must be carried. It is not possible to find an opportunity to completely solve the ghost curse.
It’s big, but you still have to hold on to hope.
The underground projects of Xihai River and Kongque River are similar, but the scale is different. We were fully prepared and brought double the dry food. The picture given by Uncle Lai is also very clear. The only one here is relatively loose.
The entrance is marked. In fact, the entrance is also created in the ruins of the bombing, and it is quite tortuous.
The entrance has been filled with sand. Sand is much harder to dig than soil, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up. According to Uncle Lai's experience back then, everything is relatively safe when you don't really enter the core area.
, but the terrain is complicated, so be careful not to get lost.
We entered very smoothly. After drilling along the winding entrance, the terrain was obviously tilted. There is no need for ventilation shafts here. The space is scary. As long as there are a few hidden vents, a certain amount of air circulation can be maintained.
In fact, I don’t know what the road ahead looks like, but as soon as I cross the Xihai River, everyone will probably have the same idea: What is the significance of the Xihai River project? What is the purpose? It consumes so much time and materials.
Manpower, what kind of result is it for?
In my current understanding, the Xihai River is the same as the Kongque River. The purpose of the project is to excavate and excavate things, but it is definitely not those fossils.
"Our purpose is the main engineering area. The first is to guard against the quick-moving ghosts, and the second is to guard against the original carrier of the curse. We will arrange the specific action steps and coordinate with each other.
Only with tacit cooperation can we minimize the risk." Xiao Ning glanced at me and said, "I reiterate, minimizing the risk is not about eliminating the risk."
"Comrade Xiaoning, let me interject." I also looked at him: "How sure are we that we can successfully descend to the deepest part of the main project?"
"Not sure." Xiaoning thought about it for a moment and replied solemnly.
"Actually, you could have told me the bad news in a more tactful way. This would give me some psychological comfort. You speak frankly, which makes people feel unsure. Ideological work must pay attention to methods. The same sentence,
Saying it in different ways gives people completely different feelings. To paraphrase Mingyue's words, if a fat man weighs 100 kilograms, if you insist on saying that he weighs 0.1 tons, who will get beaten if you don't get beaten?"
"There's nothing you can do about it, you came on your own." Xiaoning tilted her head, with a half-smile expression on her face: "Did someone force you?"
"this……"
"Let's go, remember what I said, we must cooperate with each other tacitly, and if we really encounter chaos, we can't panic."
We were walking while talking. Not long after we walked, Xiaoning was looking for something on the ruins nearby. Then he waved to me and asked me to go over. I saw someone using a knife on a large piece of concrete in the ruins.
Such hard objects mark a very conspicuous check mark.
"This is the mark of the year."
I squatted down and slowly stretched out my hand to touch the piece of concrete. The mark was left by my father. After so many years, it still looks like it was just carved on it. I closed my eyes and seemed to be able to see the mark left by my young father along the way.
mark and walk all the way to the depths.
He and I, through the intersection of time and coincidence, walked on the same road.
There is a road map and ready-made signs. This road is definitely a good one, and as Uncle Lai said, it is quite safe. Everything along the way has been abandoned and has become ruins. There is definitely nothing left that should be taken away.
, there is no value in exploring, we went straight to the main project.
Any description is one-sided and vague. It is most real and intuitive only when you witness it with your own eyes. I know that the Xihai River Underground Main Project is a huge thing, but when I really stood in front of it, my soul was shocked again.
It is a pit dug out by manpower. It may have been constructed by tens of thousands of people working continuously for a period of time. It looks like a round barrel buried deep in the bottom layer, with no bottom.
, when the light shines on it, it is swallowed up by darkness. On the four walls of this barrel, there are traces of incomplete destruction everywhere, long ladders, bundles of thick cables, elevators parked in mid-air, steel
Structural platform…
Human beings have created many miracles, especially in the era of large-scale industry. They can use materials to build anything they want, from giant warships to skyscrapers, but no place is as huge, mysterious, and full of things as here.
A weird smell.
The ladder is very strong, and everything made by the army is reliable, but each of us still buckles the safety rope. At this moment, looking at the endless darkness below, I wish I could suddenly see a beam of light and see
My father has disappeared for a while. It is not only a longing for family affection, but also doubts in my heart. Maybe only my father can unlock so many secrets that are like deadlocks.
Ai Guobao took the lead, Xiaoning led Zhang Qiao, and Pang Bin led me, all following behind. Zhang Qiao was a little afraid of heights, so he got timid when he stepped on the ladder. He groaned and dragged himself down. Engineering
The steel platforms inside are connected one after another, about thirty meters apart. This is a good place to stay. We walked very leisurely, and there was no need to compete for time at this time.
Everyone's awareness of precautions was very high, and their nerves were always tense, but the situation continued smoothly, and people relaxed a little. We slowly went down to four platforms, and when we reached the fifth platform, Zhang Qiao was breathing heavily.
, I couldn’t leave, I had to take a rest. Several people sat on the platform, intending to take a short rest. After all, the atmosphere was still tense, and no one was chatting.
I drank some water and wiped off the rust on my hands. Guobao and Pang Bin were sorting out fuel and spray guns so they could be used when they meet the original carrier. I couldn't help, so I just wanted to relax completely and stretched out.
I turned my head lazily and saw Xiaoning sitting alone in a corner, lowering her head and drawing something with a pen and paper.
