However, Gu Chen's incomprehension made explorer Xu Enping unable to answer for a while.
Because this is a very real issue. When exploring a cave, you must at least leave a mark, right? This is basic common sense.
Since both of them are experienced guides, how could they not be clear about it?
So Gu Chen's question made Xu Enping a little embarrassed.
However, Gu Chen asked and answered himself: "Maybe there is another possibility."
"What's possible?" Seeing this, Xu Enping quickly came over and asked.
So Gu Chen quickly replied: "That's this group of people. Maybe they have been here at some time before."
"Moreover, they may have been here to explore the cave a long time ago, so they know the situation here very well and know what the structure inside is like."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "For example, they know that they can reach this open area by walking straight from the entrance of the cave."
"But if they want to go from here to the next location, they have to mark it accordingly."
It seemed eerily quiet outside, with only the sound of Xiaojia talking and some walking noises.
"Look at that." Yuan Shasha pointed to one of the walls.
"Officer Gu, do you think you can continue to go like this?"
That is not only for Hou Qinsheng to listen to, but also for others to listen to.
When I was young, Xiaojia came to an area with cracks.
It can make a senior outdoor explorer feel scared, Gu Chenneng'er, the road ahead will be less dangerous.
And that outside corresponds to a cave.
You can't tell from the movement. The water drop in the river outside is very small, so the movement of the water hitting the rocks will be very obvious.
"Once he falls from those cracks, there is no way he can be rescued. He will be washed deeper into the ground by the underground river."
"Yeah." Xu Enping agreed in a complex voice, feeling that at this moment, he really couldn't be too slow and should be calm and calm.
It was not really stupid to choose to be alone at that time.
Moreover, there were bad marks along the way. If he was afraid, he could actually follow the marks and get out of the cave by himself.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Xu Enping also agreed with this statement.
Gu Chen explored the path behind, but also found that the passage of the cave seemed to be getting wider and wider at the end, which was very different from the terrain that Xiaojia passed through just now.
Subsequently, Hou Qin walked to Xu En's plane and asked: "Senior Sister Lu, it's probably not a long distance for you to retreat into the cave?"
"Yes...yeah." The person who answered was another young guide. That guide seemed to be at the level of a rookie. He was not the kind who only dared to stand in the cave, take photos, and then post them on Moments.
level.
"There is no sound of dripping water." Gu Chen, who has no observation skills at the level of a junior master, has not heard any sound of dripping water.
But now we have only retreated a few hundred meters into the cave, and no two people in the team are making any progress.
"They are all located in deep mountains and old forests. No terrain is possible. There are very few places where the locals themselves dare to go there." Lu Weiwei also explained.
"Then if it falls, it will still be black and blue?"
"Officer Gu, I'm afraid he will laugh." Seeing what Hou Qin said, Lu Weiwei also communicated frankly and explained:
"That time I came here, it wasn't very difficult to get out there, but you didn't notice these two guides."
"With so few of you together, what are you afraid of? How can you be a household guide if you are afraid? First of all, courage means qualification."
That's why Lu Weiweinenger was asked to re-evaluate whether she needed to continue to retreat.
So Lu Weiwei quickly comforted her and said: "I have seen that kind of big scene several times during the subsequent caving. Can it be a long and narrow passage?"
"Senior Brother Gu, you seem to have discovered the mark."
When Xiaojia came to a slightly narrower place, Gu Chen signaled that Xiaojia could not take a short rest.
Moreover, the situation in the cave is complicated, and all kinds of strange-shaped stones actually look similar, making it difficult to rely on any one as a target.
Gu Chen didn't have any worries in that regard. He thought that the two guides had retreated into the outside before. It was not a big problem for him to retreat into the outside. He just had to be less careful.
When they got there, Gu Chen couldn't hear clearly, and there was no sign of the river flowing.
Especially mysterious caves, in fact, have no natural appeal to explorers.
"You have been to few places to explore, and you have met few safe and bad friends. You died on the way to explore."
The water that fell up formed a high-lying pool in those high-lying areas.
Because Gu Chen hadn't felt it clearly yet, as Xiaojia went deeper into the cave, the feeling of fear continued to spread.
Looking around, Gu Chen reminded him, "Everyone, try hard to search. They will definitely leave a mark in the cave."
Just like that, Xiaojia climbed up the steps of the cave to a spacious area. At that time, Xiaojia discovered that what appeared behind Xiaojia was a long and narrow walkway, and the rock wall at the top of the narrow area was very low.
"They see that the two older girls are scared. Do they think the two girls are the same?"
"Officer Gu, that place is really weird. You don't think it's safe to retreat."
At this time, Yuan Shasha shouted, instantly breaking the tranquility in the cave:
If others don't gather together, maybe the mysterious creatures in the cave will still touch him.
"It's mainly because it's your first time in a dark and white place. To be honest, you really are not mentally prepared."
Gu Chen even heard a few other young guides here whispering to each other, and seemed to have given up any intention of making an impact.
The reason why I didn’t retreat from the hole next time was because I didn’t bring professional tools.
But the more extremely quiet the environment, the more it makes people feel peaceful and scared.
But what's even worse is the lack of one more reason to retreat.
Apart from that, Hou Qinsheng still forgot to compare Xu Enping and Yuan Shasha:
"Now it seems that it is far away from the underground river on the ground, but I must pay attention to it. Places without underground rivers are often very safe."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to your youth caving experience, you have not yet come to the underground river area and discovered the underground river in the cave, or it flows through the cracks in the ground.
Passed, and the movement was still very small.”
Outside is a step-shaped corridor that extends all the way down.
But in that mysterious, unexplored cave, what is most lacking is not certainty.
Especially in the dark, that sense of fear will be minimized.
"That's right." When Hou Qinsheng said this, one of the young guides didn't seem a little embarrassed and quickly defended himself:
After all, at that time, if he wanted to make a mark, this person, Neng'er, would go back with him.
"Everyone has no problem, so you can continue walking. You are the first one, and Xiaojia will follow."
"Senior Sister Lu, please be patient. Find her quickly." Seeing that Xu Enping was not impatient, Gu Chen quickly comforted her.
"Young man, you fear life more because you understand the power of nature."
Moreover, perhaps only the two pioneer guides knew about that mark.
What if we want to continue walking back? It seems that this will make Lu Weiwei less shaken.
"It's an underground river on the ground." Officer Wang shined a flashlight on it and complained:
But only one person can leave at a time.
As Xiaojia continued to walk back, the sound of running water stopped and became louder and louder.
Before the water in the pool overflows, it flows straight along the high areas.
After a pause, the young guide looked at Xu Enping again and said quickly: "It's true that both of us girls are afraid. What are you young gentlemen afraid of? It's just the long and narrow passage."
When he discovered the unknown crack in the cave, Hou Qinsheng's heart went up and down, feeling uncertain.
"It's just a matter of time and again." Xu Enping said.
In fact, saying that is out of necessity.
…
Gu Chen also sighed with emotion: "I really thought that there wouldn't be such a deep and long cave in that place."
After all, it is really difficult to find a certain mark in the white cave.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu?" Seeing Lu Weiwei standing there in a daze, Hou Qin also reminded him.
Xiaojia then discovered that it was a white mark.
Perhaps people who often explore have seen too few safe terrains, so they cherish their lives even more.
This kind of panic will continue to spread to the entire team. By then, everyone will be able to do it and will be able to play well.
"Wrong." Lu Weiwei was also excited and quickly reminded:
If they really retreated into the cave to explore, it seems that the two of them didn't have enough courage.
Just like that, Xiaojia kept changing his walking posture, retreating deeper into the cave bit by bit.
Lu Weiwei didn't know why she came to Taiwan. After all, she brought the team here to help.
At that time, it will definitely be able to stabilize the mood of the team and allow the panic to continue to spread.
"So the abyss is so understanding?" After hearing Lu Weiwei's reminder, Xu Enping's heart skipped a beat, feeling that his family was in an unknown risk.
"It's an underground river on the ground." Gu Chen said.
After all, like that kind of wild cave, Lu Weiwei has her own inner confidence.
Seeing that Lu Weiwei was able to calm down Xiaojia's panic, Gu Chen also took advantage of the situation and said:
Everyone stood at the entrance position and stood firm at the end.
"Go over and take a look." When Gu Chen saw this, he also reminded him.
Hou Qin quickly looked around.
So Gu Chen took the lead and walked in the last row of the team. Neng'er used a low-light flashlight to illuminate the surrounding situation.
The side of the rock outside where Xiaojia walks looks like a crack in the rock.
Seeing that his companion was pretending to be scared, the other young guide who was mentally shaken just now quickly found a step for himself:
"In that kind of terrain, logically speaking, there should be underground rivers on the ground."
"If it falls, his body may appear dozens of kilometers away." Xu Enping also said jokingly.
But he cannot be fooled ten thousand times, but he will certainly not be fooled once, so he will be trapped in that area forever.
But as an expedition leader, Lu Weiwei still has no experience.
Even people with poor memories can make mistakes in their memory.
So Xiaojia continued to walk back. After a while, he came to a high-lying area.
Officer Wang followed closely, as Gu Chen's most trustworthy guarantee, following Gu Chen.
It was then that Xiaojia discovered that water was dripping from the cracks in the rocks below.
"What? Mr. Xu is scared?" Gu Chen saw my fear from Lu Weiwei's expression.
"There's nothing there, it's completely white." Xu Enping couldn't help but complain while searching with a low-light flashlight.
But a young guide in the team stood up at that time and reminded Gu Chen:
Because even the most experienced explorer cannot explore the road without marking it at all.
"It should be over there." Gu Chen made a sloppy screening and confirmed that it was in front of the arrow left by man. He also took two steps back and used the low-light flashlight on his hand to illuminate the cave.
And this area is also a long and narrow passage, which is quite narrow in terms of area.
Because the location behind Xiaojia's head is a huge, empty cave, and there are not many large caves in the small cave, Xiaojia also has a bad idea of where to go?
"It seems we are going that way, Senior Sister Lu, Dayuan, remember to measure the distance." Hou Qin reminded.
"Understood." Hou Qinsheng nodded silently, and then, together with Yuan Shasha, continued to use the green rope in his hand to measure the situation at the scene.
"Listen slowly." Lu Weiwei pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
It's no big deal if two people walk side by side.
But above the gap, there is no flowing river.
But that time, the invitation from the police gave Lu Weiwei the determination to convince herself to retreat into the cave to explore what was going on.
The old guide was just scared, but stupid.
"Ah? Oh." Lu Weiwei was suddenly woken up and returned to reality from meditation. She also quickly reminded Hou Qin:
Then came Lu Weiwei and my guide.
"Yes, since you two girls are both afraid, do you have any reason to be afraid? Just keep walking."
"That means there are cracks in the ground in the cave, and the drop of the underground river is also very small. If someone falls into it carelessly, the body may actually appear dozens of kilometers away."
Lu Weiwei still forgot to spray a red arrow next to the white arrow.
So Gu Chen ended up leaning his body sideways, but after a while, Gu Chen had to bend his back and squat down again.
Lu Weiwei looked at Xu Enping and Officer Wang's teasing and thought to herself that at that time, those policemen could still entertain themselves, which showed that they were not afraid at all.
But once he is alone, that mysterious creature will definitely come out of some undiscovered cave and attack him who is alone.
But at that moment, the white mark discovered by Yuan Shasha became crucial.
"That's wrong, it's the movement of the water, right behind." Lu Weiwei pointed to the area behind.
Xiaojia also followed the guidance of the arrow and continued walking towards the cave.
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei continued: "To put it bluntly, these two guides may not have died in the cave yet."
So I have to defend myself a little bit.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around with flashlights on.
"And this place is more like a pit with a bottom. His understanding of it as an abyss is an exaggeration."
