Although they had already learned about the situation from Li Shengli, Officer Mu and Officer Hu still found it difficult to believe that he claimed that among the attackers were Tang Fei, the leader of the archaeological team, and Professor Tang.
Therefore, after meeting the two new survivors, they immediately asked them to confirm what Li Shengli had just said.
"I have no idea."
Feng Chun was the first to speak, but his answer basically did not help us understand the truth of the matter. "I was woken up by urination and wanted to go to the toilet. When I came out of the toilet, there was already someone outside.
It was a mess. I saw people being hacked to death and others setting fires in the camp. Because I was afraid, I hid in the ruins and met them."
Regarding the situation at the time of the incident, Chen Meiyang's testimony was the same, but the reason she escaped the attack was because she got up very early that morning and came to the ruins early in the morning to prepare for work, but she heard something from the camp
There was the sound of an attack.
However, regarding the fact that Professor Tang was among the attackers mentioned by Li Shengli, Chen Meiyang expressed her own opinion: "Although I did not see Professor Tang with my own eyes when the incident occurred, I think Associate Professor Li's words are possible.
Professor, he has been a little unusual recently. There is something that no one knows, that is Professor Tang has been ill during this time."
"Sick?" we asked in confusion.
"Yes, the professor has depression." Chen Meiyang said, "In fact, this problem was caused by the professor's divorce two years ago, but because he has been taking medicine on time, no one knows about it. Because of worry
The Institute of Archeology does not allow him to serve as the leader of the archaeological team, so the professor himself rarely mentions it to others."
When Chen Meiyang was explaining to us, I glanced at Li Shengli and Feng Chun and found that their faces showed expressions as if they had heard the news for the first time. I thought about it and felt a little strange, so I asked Chen Meiyang: "Since
The professor rarely mentions it to others, so how do you know?"
Chen Meiyang lowered his head with a bit of embarrassment on his face. At this time, Li Shengli said to us in a somewhat sinister tone: "Since she said that the professor has depression, he must really have this problem. After all, she is the most popular member of the archaeological team."
Someone who knows Professor Tang’s every move.”
Huh? I scratched my head. I didn’t understand what Li Shengli said. On the other hand, Officer Mu and Officer Hu looked a little embarrassed. Lin Qianyi kept staring at Chen Meiyang after Li Shengli finished speaking.
.
After everyone was silent for a while, Chen Meiyang raised his head and said: "Okay, we have said everything we should say. Now it's your turn. When can we leave here? The people who killed us outside don't know yet.
No matter what, you two policemen can't protect me at all."
When Officer Hu heard this, he drew the pistol on his waist and said, "Don't worry, the two of us are carrying guns."
"Guns?" Chen Meiyang sneered: "Officer Hu, don't forget that we also have guns. For safety reasons, the archaeological team also has two shotguns as self-defense weapons, but in the end, they were all dead! Do you think that's it?
Can you two policemen and two pistols be safe?"
Officer Hu was speechless by what Chen Meiyang said, and he was stunned for a few seconds with his mouth open. At this moment, Officer Mu said to the side, as if to cover up: "There is something we haven't said yet.
When we came here, in addition to the dead archaeological team members, we also saw many unidentified corpses in the kitchen. Those corpses were all rotten and their identities could not be identified. What happened to them? Do you have any clues?
?”
The three of them looked at each other, and then Li Shengli stood up and said: "We don't know the specific situation, but it may be that they started an internal strife, or it may be our people who did it. Although there was chaos in the camp at that time, it was not
Everyone is sleeping in the dormitory, and there should be others who are busy doing their own things like us, so the corpses you see were probably killed when they resisted."
"But……"
Officer Hu was just about to talk about the situation of the corpses, but Chen Meiyang interrupted: "It's useless for you to ask us! What exactly happened? Why don't you investigate it yourself? We just want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible!
"
Seeing that these three people repeatedly insisted on leaving here, Officer Mu and Officer Hu discussed it, pulled Lin Qianyi and me aside, and whispered to us: "You two, although I know your mission
It is to inspect the work of the archaeological team, but as you have seen the current situation, the archaeological team no longer exists, so I think your work has to be suspended. For safety reasons, Lao Hu and I plan to take
What do you think about the three of them leaving here now?"
I understand very well the concerns of Officer Mu and the others. After all, the situation in this place is unclear at the moment. Although we have found the bodies of many suspected attackers, the whereabouts of Professor Tang, the most important person in this incident, are still unknown, and we have no idea.
We know if there are any other attackers hiding here, so whether it is for our safety or to better investigate what happened here, we need to leave here first.
However, Lin Qianyi had different opinions on this. She said: "Officer Mu, I agree with you, but I think besides Li Shengli and the other three, there may be other people in the archaeological team who survived. If we leave now
Aren't those people here in danger? There are also those attackers who killed the archaeological team. Some of them may have survived. We shouldn't let those people go unpunished."
"Yes, I agree with you. But..." Officer Mu said, "This place, including the ruins, is a very large space. After all, this used to be a kingdom city! There are only a few of us, there is no such thing as
There is no way to search the whole place thoroughly, so what we should do now is to contact the police station and bring a large group of people over. As for whether those people will escape from here while we are leaving, there is no need to worry.
After we go out, you two can take the three of them down the mountain and back to the city first. Lao Hu and I will stay here to monitor the entrance of the cave. We have guns in our hands. As long as twenty or thirty people don't appear at once, we should
You can block them in the hole."
Although he was nominally asking for our opinions and gave us so many reasons, the look on Officer Mu's face did not allow us to refuse. It seemed that unless we chose to reveal our identities, he would never allow it.
We will continue to stay here. Therefore, we can only agree to his request.
In this way, the seven of us returned on the same road we took when we started.
Because we didn’t know if there were any attackers lurking nearby, we were cautious along the way.
As we were walking forward, I suddenly thought of something, so I secretly pulled Lin Qianyi and asked her in a low voice: "Sister Lin, what's going on with Chen Meiyang? Why did Li Shengli say that she is the person who knows Professor Tang best?"
"
"Si Jiu, why are you asking this?" Lin Qianyi rolled her eyes at me, and then she calmly glanced at Chen Meiyang who was walking in front, and whispered to me: "What Li Shengli means is that Chen Meiyang and Professor Tang
The relationship between them may be unusual.”
"Unusual? Are they father and daughter? But their names are different?" I still didn't understand.
Lin Qianyi sighed and then said to me: "You guy! Li Shengli means that the relationship between Chen Meiyang and Professor Tang may be between a man and a woman!"
"ah?"
Lin Qianyi's words surprised me all of a sudden, and the word "Ah" came out of my mouth accidentally.
Officer Mu and the others who were walking in front stopped when they heard my sudden and unreasonable scream, and turned around and asked me: "Comrade Lin, what's wrong with you?"
I knew I had made a joke, so I rubbed my head in embarrassment, and was about to apologize to them. Suddenly, there was an astonishing loud noise not far in front of us, and then, there was a huge sound under our feet.
It began to vibrate violently.
At that time, none of us knew what was going on, but Lin Qianyi reacted the fastest and shouted: "Everyone, be careful, squat down and protect your heads!"
Everyone immediately squatted down and hugged their heads at the same time. Not long after, first a wave of air roared from the front, and then dust and gravel continued to fall on our heads, and there was a rumble in our ears.
non-stop.
The tremors around him continued for several seconds before they stopped, and the sand and stones above his head gradually stopped rolling down.
When the dust dispersed, a few of us stood up from the ground with our heads covered with dirt, staring at each other. No one knew what happened just now.
However, Lin Qianyi seemed to have thought of something at this time, said "Oh no!", and ran towards the entrance of the cave. Although I and others didn't know what was going on, we immediately chased after her.
After running for almost a few minutes, we saw that the roof of the cave above our heads gradually became lower and the surrounding rock walls gradually moved closer to the center of the road. Suddenly, a stone wall composed entirely of gravel appeared in front of us.
!The road leading to the outside world in the heart of the mountain is completely blocked!
