When those hanging corpses appeared in front of Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi was suddenly a little stunned.
According to his original imagination, the dark force from outside invaded the village at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, because all the people in the village, men, women, old and young, were in the village at that time, and later they all turned into insects.
That form of a human being.
If we follow this view, then there shouldn't be so many corpses hanging on ladders now!
The only possibility is that there were many people under the mine for some reason that night, and when the dark force found the mine entrance, these people were all killed...
"What makes these people stay here?",
Chen Zhi looked down and thought silently,
"Are they the ones who stayed on duty? Then there are too many people~~~~"
However, others were not as thoughtful as Chen Zhi. They did not notice this detail. When they saw the depth of the ground, Fat Wei gritted his teeth first.
"There is something I can tell you in advance~~~ The deeper the place, the greater the fog. Judging from the color of the fog below, it seems that it is really deep down here.
In this case, I should take the lead. I would tie a rope around my waist and climb down. Every time I climbed a hundred meters, I would shout over the wireless to say it was safe.
If there is no problem below, your large force will come down again..."
"How can I put you in danger?"
Hu Meng suddenly stepped forward with some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"This is our family's business, let me take the lead!" After Hu Meng finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Ji Ying and deliberately raised his voice and said,
"Even if there is any danger down here, I will go up first and I will lead you..."
"Come on, you can take a break early...",
Fat Wei tied the rope around his waist, looked down, then looked up at Hu Meng,
"Let me tell you, your boy is at the back of the team, next to Lao Jintou.
Down there, Lao Jintou is more experienced than you~~~~
Don’t take things easy, this is not a place to show off as a hero, if I tell you to run, don’t jump, if you go east, don’t go west, otherwise your little life may be gone at any time!”
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he loosened his grip on the rope and jumped down.
Despite Fat Wei's fat body, his dexterity really cannot be overshadowed.
After arriving underground, Fat Wei immediately hung firmly on the ladder, and then pushed the corpses down one by one.
After those corpses fell into the well, they quickly disappeared into the darkness, but no sound of landing was heard, which shows that the depth below is unfathomable~~~~~
Fat Wei then pulled the rope and jumped twice more. After making sure that the ladder was strong, he climbed down the ladder.
According to what he said, every time Fat Wei climbed 100 meters, he would report on the wireless that he was safe. When he climbed to 500 or 600 meters, he shouted over the wireless.
"Come down, everyone, it's still far down here..."
After hearing Fat Wei's words, everyone lined up and climbed down one by one along the rope...
Chen Zhi walked at the front. After they climbed down for a while, they found Fat Wei at the edge of the hanging ladder below.
"Orange, have you seen it...",
After Fat Wei saw Chen Zhi, he gently pointed down with his hand.
Following the direction of Fat Wei's finger, Chen Zhi glanced down.
It turned out that the ladder went straight down, one section connected to the other, and there was a corpse hanging on each section below. The faces of the corpses were full of fear, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died.
They scrambled to escape up the ladder...
It’s so weird…”,
Humeng looked down from above,
"Why did these workers come up in such a panic? And why did they gather in so many underground?
According to the rules and regulations of our family’s internal mining industry, people who go down the well each time are in batches and in sequence. So many people are not allowed to go down the well at the same time. This is a violation of their rules..."
"It is estimated that their violations are not limited to this...",
Chen Zhi looked down, then raised his head and asked Hu Meng,
"I remember you once said that this gem mining village is closed, and these workers are all related to each other. In a sense, this village is actually a big family, right?"
"Yes~~~~~",
Hu Meng nodded and replied:
"We have all known since childhood that this Gemstone Village only accepts women from the Golden Family to marry in, and no one has ever married out~~~
Therefore, people in the village are intermarrying, and every household has a very close kinship relationship, and the villagers are very united.
Didn’t you see it just now? There are no locks in this village at all, every house is open at night, and the gems are left open without hiding from others, because all the miners are relatives."
"If we are all relatives, we will keep secrets together...",
Chen Zhi said in a deep voice:
"You can also break the family rules together~~~~~"
"It's not that serious~~~" Hu Meng slowly crawled to Chen Zhi and said with a smile,
"This is not a big deal. Even if there are more people working in the mine, no one will care about these small things. There is no need to keep any secrets~~~"
"Then are there any rules within your family that cannot be violated?",
Chen Zhi asked Hu Meng,
"The consequences of violating this rule are so serious that these miners banded together to secretly work underground late at night!"
"It's a rule that can't be broken...",
Hu Meng hung on the ladder with one hand and scratched his head in confusion.
"Our family has so many rules that we can't even count them. But for the people in this Gem Village, we have always been relatively lax, and no one has ever wanted to punish the people in this village~~
Because everyone knows that it is not easy for them. It is they who have worked hard here to gain wealth for the entire family!
If there are any rules that must be followed, it is just a matter of mining depth~~",
After Hu Meng finished speaking, he pointed to the ground.
"Didn't I just say that? Since ancient times, our family has set a fixed standard for the depth of gem mining.
Every generation of gem miners cannot surpass it. I remember it seemed to be about one thousand meters...",
When Hu Meng said this, he suddenly realized something, and then opened his eyes and looked at Chen Zhi.
"You mean...
Could it be that the people in this village secretly violated the rules set by our ancestors and went beyond this depth to mine underground?"
"Probably……",
Chen Zhi nodded slightly and looked at the darkness underground,
"It is definitely a great temptation to have so many people working secretly underground in the middle of the night~~
I guess they really saw something beautiful deep underground..."
