Thinking of this, I thought that if I let Officer Hu and others pass by now, they might be in danger.
So I immediately objected: "No, you can't go there! It may be dangerous there!"
"Danger? If you tell Tang Fei, I won't be afraid of him with the gun in my hand! I'm not Professor Li, and my gun will never miss!" Officer Hu said with a smile.
I quickly shook my head and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that there might be other dangers in the secret passage!"
"Other danger? What is that?"
"I..." I wanted to say what I said in my notebook, but at this moment, my eyes caught Li Shengli.
No, if the contents of Professor Tang's notes were published right here, it would definitely be a warning. What's more, how I found this note is not clear at the moment.
If Officer Hu, who now regards Professor Tang as a thug, knew that I had concealed my meeting with Professor Tang from them, he might even become suspicious of me.
Thinking of this, I could only shake my head and explain: "No, it's nothing..."
Officer Hu glanced at me doubtfully, and then said: "Comrade Lin, Professor Li and Heimuo were injured and couldn't walk that far, so they had to stay in the camp. But with just the two of them, I'm worried about Tang Fei
They will come back, so after much deliberation, I can only ask you to stay here to protect them."
Officer Hu handed me a pistol and said, "This is a black wood sidearm. You can hold it for self-defense."
"Okay." I nodded helplessly, but then I thought of Lin Qianyi again. Just as I was about to turn around and ask her what to do, Lin Qianyi had already said: "Sijiu, I will act with Officer Hu and the others."
After finishing speaking, Lin Qianyi secretly said in my ear: "Sijiu, I know what you are worried about. I will watch them from the sidelines."
Lin Qianyi's words reassured me a little. Apart from me, she is the only one who knows about the secret passage. Lin Qianyi, who knows that the secret passage is full of dangers, should be able to remind Officer Hu and the others in time.
Let them avoid accidents.
The secret passage Li Shengli mentioned was some distance away from the archaeological base. In order to deal with various situations that might arise, Officer Hu took with him everything that could be used in the temporary camp. In the end, together with Lin Qianyi
There were four people inside, each carrying a fully packed backpack.
Before leaving, Officer Hu once again warned me to take good care of Officer Mu and the others, and then he said goodbye to us and left.
After watching them enter the walls of the ancient city ruins, I sat by the campfire and thought about what I should do next.
I was thinking about things in my mind, but my eyes kept staring at Li Shengli.
When I was thinking about things, I saw him limping out of his tent, and then entered Officer Mu's tent.
Through the light in the tent, I saw that Li Shengli seemed to be talking to Officer Mu who was lying on the ground.
After a while, Li Shengli walked out of the tent and said to me: "Comrade Lin, Officer Mu is hungry. Everyone was busy preparing the equipment for the investigation just now, and no one thought of getting up for breakfast. You see
…”
After hearing Li Shengli's words, I remembered that I hadn't had breakfast yet, and my stomach started growling involuntarily.
I pressed my stomach, stood up and said, "Just wait, I'll get some cans."
"Don't." Li Shengli said, "Officer Mu is still injured. It's not good to give him canned food. I remember that when we went to the kitchen a few days ago, we took a few bags of instant noodles from it. Those things seemed to be for Chen Meiyang.
It's in the warehouse, why don't you go take it out, and how about the three of us having a bowl of instant noodles together?"
"Okay." I responded and stood up from the ground. Just as I was about to get something, Li Shengli said again: "There seems to be some ham in the warehouse. How about you get some too?"
I wanted to scold Li Shengli and tell him not to be too greedy. We had all agreed upon these things. In order to prevent the rescue team from coming too far, we should save them until the end, but then I thought about it again.
The police officer lost a lot of blood last night and needed to be replenished, so he said "I understand."
Just as I was getting ready to leave, I accidentally glanced at Li Shengli from the corner of my eye, only to find that this guy seemed to be staring directly at my waist, and his eyes were a little strange! I turned around suddenly, and sure enough, I saw Li Shengli suddenly change his gaze, although
At this time, his eyes were looking elsewhere, but from his erratic look, I was sure that I had not seen it wrong just now.
I probed: "Professor Li, do you have anything else to do?"
Li Shengli put a shy smile on his face and said to me: "No, Comrade Lin, please go quickly. I'm a little hungry too."
"OK."
I nodded, turned around again, and glanced at my waist, trying to see what Li Shengli was looking at just now. But except for the gun that Officer Hu gave me, there was nothing on my waist.
Nothing special...
Wait, is he looking at my gun? I couldn't help but feel nervous, and secretly reminded me to pay more attention to that guy Li Shengli.
Entering the warehouse, apart from the two sleeping bags on the floor, it was filled with various cardboard boxes. I opened one at random and found a lot of food inside. But unfortunately, most of the things here need to be microwaved.
At present, the generator in the archaeological base has been destroyed and the microwave oven cannot be used, so it can only be left here to watch.
"Where's the instant noodles?"
There was no object I was looking for in this cardboard box. I closed the box again and searched the next box, but it was still not there. I could only continue to search in the next box until I had rummaged through more than a dozen.
After picking up the boxes, I found those instant noodles from the bottom of a cardboard box.
Taking the instant noodles out of the carton, I thought to myself: Really, it's just a few packets of instant noodles. Why did Chen Meiyang hide it so tightly? As if he was afraid that others would find it.
After finding instant noodles, the next step was to find hams. As expected, these hams were also hidden by Chen Meiyang. I rummaged through them for a long time before I found them in the bottom box among the stacked cardboard boxes.
they.
After putting these things away, I was about to re-stack the cardboard boxes neatly, when suddenly, I felt a furry feeling on my back, as if I was being stared at by someone.
I turned around suddenly and used the flashlight to shine behind me, but I didn't see any figure... No, I seemed to see a figure on the window next to the warehouse door. What surprised me even more was,
That figure...actually...seems...to be me?
I just thought it was because I was dazzled, so I blinked my eyes to see the figure carefully. However, in just the blink of an eye, the figure on the window had disappeared.
I immediately threw down the things in my hands, opened the door and rushed outside, but there was no one at all outside the warehouse. I glanced towards the bonfire, and Li Shengli was squatting by the bonfire boiling water in an iron pot. He saw me
He ran out of the warehouse empty-handed and shouted to me from a distance: "Comrade Lin, where is the thing I asked you to find?"
I looked at Li Shengli, and then at the window next to me. Although it was not far from the window to the bonfire, it was still more than ten meters away. Li Shengli was not a flying man, so it was probably not him I just saw.
So I asked Li Shengli: "Professor Li, did you see anything strange just now?"
"Weird thing? What do you mean?"
I saw the confused look on Li Shengli's face and knew that he probably didn't see anything at all.
Could it be that I was so hungry that my eyesight just now? I thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was possible. Otherwise, why would the figure I saw be me?
Thinking of this, I planned to go back to the warehouse to take out instant noodles and other things, but at this moment, I discovered that there seemed to be something on the ground by the window where I just saw the figure.
I bent down, reached out and touched it, and found that it seemed to be some kind of liquid. The liquid was sticky, and I didn't know what it was.
Strangely, I looked up at the top of the warehouse and found nothing that might be dripping this liquid. In that case, where did this liquid come from?
