Everyone followed Zhou Xingrong to the warehouse next to the library. The warehouse keeper began to distribute protective clothing to them. The protective clothing was made of black synthetic material. After changing into it, they put on a helmet to completely isolate the body from the outside world.
Zhang Chi estimated that this set of armor was prepared to deal with the Soul Eater. Although the protective clothing was not heavy, he felt a little stuffy after putting it all on. Zhang Chi took off his helmet. His face did not need protection.
Cao Mingmin led several professors over, and they all wore protective clothing.
"Hello, students, something unexpected happened just now. The college decided to suspend this training immediately. We will all evacuate immediately. There are a total of twenty-six of you, divided into four groups. I, Professor Liang, and Professor Meng
, Teacher Zhou each leads a group."
Before coming here, they had divided the groups into groups of six people, and there were two groups with seven people.
Zhang Chi, Bai Xiaomi, Zhen Xiubo and other six people were assigned to Professor Liang's group. In addition to being the team leader, Zhang Chi also had to help Lao Liang carry the stretcher. Xue Hongyang was still asleep.
Zhang Chi raised a question. Luo Shiqi has not been found yet. Should he just be thrown into Hell Valley?
Cao Mingmin told him not to worry. There are still seven staff members in Hell Valley itself. They will continue to search. When the train arrives, a search team sent by the college will also arrive. The task of finding Luo Shiqi will be entrusted to them.
Cao Mingmin looks calm on the surface, but she is actually very nervous on the inside. A big thing has happened since she became the dean of the department. This training camp has just started and she encountered trouble again. If this matter is not handled properly, she will have no choice but to resign.
Zhang Chi and Professor Liang carried the stretcher, and the group retreated in an orderly manner toward the train station.
When they were about to arrive at the mining station, the ground suddenly shook several times in succession. Everyone thought that the train from Budokou had arrived. The vibration was caused by the wheels passing through the joints of the rails, but judging from the time, it should not be that fast.
The train from Budokou ran at high speed in the dark underground tunnel. Dean Qu Yangming came with the train in person, with an unprecedented serious expression. Hell Valley Base is the first B-level base open to students. To be cautious, he has already
Adequate safety measures have been taken and it has been operating safely for nearly a month. But something still went wrong. It’s really God’s fault.
The train obviously began to slow down.
Qu Yangming's thick eyebrows knitted together, and he heard the harsh sound of wheels rubbing against the rails.
The emergency braking caused the wheels to lock up and move screaming on the rails. The friction between the wheels and the rails produced brilliant sparks.
The rescue team came to Qu Yangming's carriage: "Dean Qu, there is a roadblock ahead!"
Qu Yangming nodded. After the train stopped, he got off the train and saw that the track 200 meters away from the head of the train was covered with large rocks. The rescue team had already got off the train first and began to clean up the rocks on the track.
Qu Yangming took a step forward, but his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly shouted: "Come back! Come back all of them!" As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and the rails twisted and creaked at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was a rattling sound, and the screws holding the sleepers arched from the ground one by one. Rocks fell like rain in the tunnel ahead, and the seven rescue team members were about to be hit by the falling rocks.
Qu Yangming opened his arms, and the material and invisible potential quickly expanded forward. The falling rocks at the top of the tunnel were lifted up by this invisible potential before they even hit the ground.
The shocked rescue team members stared at the magical scene around them in stunned silence. Huge falling rocks seemed to be floating in the air.
"What are you doing standing still? Retreat!"
The rescue team members, who had just woken up from a dream, hurriedly fled in the direction of the train. As soon as they left the dangerous area, Qu Yangming's arms shook, and the falling rocks suddenly fell to the ground as if pressing the pause button, and the tunnel was filled in the blink of an eye.
Qu Yangming's face turned pale as he murmured: "It's too late!"
****
An Chongguang was awakened by the ringing of the phone and answered the call.
A hurried voice said: "Director An, there has just been an abnormal fluctuation in Zhongzhouxu. It should be an earthquake, with a focal depth of 20 kilometers."
"What?" An Chongguang sat up suddenly.
****
shock!
Increasingly violent vibrations!
The faces of all the teachers changed. Before they had time to enter the mine car, dust kept falling from the top of the tunnel above their heads. Cao Mingmin realized that the situation was developing towards a worse side, and she quickly made a decision: "
Go back now, go back now!"
As soon as they left the mining station, the tunnel behind them collapsed. With a loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust came like waves. Everyone knew what this meant. The exit was sealed, and they were trapped in the Hell Valley.
.
Xue Hongyang, who had been unconscious, also woke up at this time and let out a panicked cry.
Seeing the heavily armed teachers and students around him, he howled in pain: "Luo Shiqi! Luo Shiqi attacked me, he is a soul eater!"
No one paid attention to this matter, because in the face of this sudden earthquake, this news became not so important. Rocks continued to fall above their heads. Two girls who did not dodge in a hurry were hit by falling rocks. Although they were wearing protective gear, they were hit by falling rocks.
Armor and helmet were still smashed to the point of fainting.
Cao Mingmin ordered each group to take charge of their own affairs and must return to the Hell Valley camp as soon as possible. The special structure of the cave dwellings in the camp is relatively strong. Only by arriving there before the severe earthquake hits can you save your life to the maximum extent.
As soon as they returned to the base, a strong earthquake had already occurred.
Everyone stumbled into the cave dwelling. The smaller the cave dwelling, the stronger it was and the less likely it was to collapse. The earthquake caused a lot of falling rocks, so try to go up as much as possible to avoid being trapped inside the cave dwelling by the falling rocks.
Everyone gathered in the girls' dormitory on the seventh floor. Zhang Chi, Bai Xiaomi, and Zhen Xiubo were crowded together in their dormitory. They first seemed to be sitting on a bumpy ship, first shaking left and right, then vibrating up and down, and then pushing back and forth.
Zhen Xiubo was the first to take off his helmet and vomited out.
The strong earthquake caused her body to lose balance and rush toward Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi was worried that she would be injured, so he could only stretch out his arms to hug her. Bai Xiaomi fell to the ground and quickly hugged his left thigh with both hands.
The ground seemed to tilt. The three of them screamed in unison and slid towards the bottom of the cave. Their bodies hit the hard stone wall, and then they were pushed outward by a strong force. Their relaxed backs hit the door panel hard.
Zhen Xiubo slipped out of his arms, screamed and hugged her flabby right leg. The two girls' ability to hug the thigh was not easy.
The shaking from bottom to top caused the bodies of the three people to fly up from the ground. Zhen Xiubo, who was wearing a helmet, hit her head on the hard vault, causing her to scream loudly in pain.
After landing again, he felt that the ground was tilting backward again. Zhang Daxian's pants could no longer bear the pull of the two female classmates. With a sneer, they took off his pants, revealing the briefs underneath. Zhang Daxian was so depressed! Earthquake
It's not a car accident, why are you taking off my pants?
Fortunately, it was pitch dark in the cave, so no one could clearly see his current embarrassment.
Although Bai Xiaomi and Zhen Xiubo are usually arrogant and carefree, their timid side was still exposed in this situation. The two of them each held one thigh firmly, and they also found that the texture was a little wrong. How could they have thighs at this time?
It's good to hug her, so why bother being picky.
The violent earthquake lasted for about five minutes, but it felt like a long century to them. After it calmed down a little, Bai Xiaomi turned on the emergency light on his helmet and saw the thick, hairy leg close at hand.
When I looked up, I saw an emergency tent propped above my head.
Bai Xiaomi quickly let go as if he had been bitten by a snake. Zhen Xiubo was still in shock, holding her flabby thighs tightly with both hands, her face still pressed against them, and the fur felt good.
Zhang Chi reminded her: "Relax, have you touched enough?"
Zhen Xiubo screamed exaggeratedly and quickly let go.
Immortal Zhang secretly sighed, the quality of this protective clothing was so bad that the two girls stripped it off easily. This guy got up from the ground, pulled up his pants, and the waistband of his pants was cut off. He worked hard enough, thinking
I was a little scared, but luckily they weren't in the wrong place.
Bai Xiaomi turned off the light, and the entire cave fell into darkness again, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.
Zhen Xiubo covered her nose and kept coughing. She thought of an extremely terrifying reality. Even if they escaped the earthquake by chance, how could they escape? They had just seen the tunnel collapse at the mine station, and now they were in
How to escape from a location 20 kilometers underground? Who will save them?
Bai Xiaomi restarted the light, Zhang Chi arranged his clothes, took off his helmet and handed it to Zhen Xiubo. He really didn't need this thing, it was cumbersome to wear. He found his luggage and carried it, which contained his Transformation Combination Shield and Transformers Combo.
Knife, and most importantly, a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes.
He raised his foot and kicked open the deformed door. There was a cough from outside. Smoke and dust filled the air everywhere. The disgraced Professor Liang and Professor Meng had already appeared on the platform. The earthquake just now caused collapse in many places, and a large number of falling rocks had already covered the ground.
Everything below the third floor is filled.
They began to count the number of people. Except for Luo Shiqi, who was missing before, there was no missing person. Twenty-six students, five teachers, and seven Hell Valley staff members were all present. Twelve people were slightly injured.
But they were just flesh wounds, nothing serious.
After the situation stabilized slightly, Professor Liang and Professor Meng went to explore the road conditions together. Soon they were disappointed. The tunnel leading to the mining station collapsed and was blocked, making it impossible to return from the original road.
The canteen and water source are on the first floor. Don't let rocks fall and bury them now. They will soon face the problem of water and food shortages.
Some timid girls have begun to cry, and several professors gathered together to discuss countermeasures. They cannot be chaotic, and they must persevere as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Cao Mingmin asked Zhou Xingrong to lead two staff members to search for drinking water and food, hoping to find some from the cave dwellings.
Xue Hongyang stood blankly on the platform. He was newly promoted to a waste soul and was completely lost.
Professor Liang has a good relationship with Xue Hongyang, and he can understand Xue Hongyang's mood at this time, but the first thing now is not to comfort him. He sighed and said: "Teacher Xue, leave here first."
Cao Mingmin went to the administrator of the library and archives and asked him if he had a detailed map of Hell Valley. The administrator had just taken over the work here and was not familiar with the information in Hell Valley. He just knew the area where it was stored and had not had time to sort it out.
.
The library and archives are located on the sixth floor. Cao Mingmin decided to send some people to the archives to help search for information and find as many structural diagrams of Hell Valley as possible. This is also the most feasible plan at present.
Zhang Chi's group was sent to help. The library and archives occupied a total of three cave dwellings. Because of the earthquake, the room was in a mess. Books and files were scattered all over the floor. The archivist took them to the past where the Hell Valley was stored based on his impression.
File location.
Zhang Chi reminded the students that the key is to find information on the structure diagram of supporting facilities. In the past, Hell Valley was one of the seven major mines for mining spiritual energy. Of course, it had more than one exit, emergency exits, power supply, water supply, ventilation and drainage.
The fate of everyone is related, and no one dares to neglect it. They look for useful maps from the messy information.
Zhen Xiubo found a map, and Zhang Chi took a closer look. The map was quite detailed, but it was a new version. It was a map after the mine was converted into a health care center. There were four emergency exits marked on this map, but they were all located in one place.
layer.
Bai Xiaomi made a discovery at this time. She found a structural diagram of the past mine and laid it out on the ground. Because the mine had been rebuilt several times after it was abandoned, the internal structure had changed a lot. She put the two maps together.
After comparison, it was found that all the emergency exits in the past were impossible, but an emergency exit was found on the fifth floor of the old map. Zhang Chi called the administrator over and pointed it out to him.
The administrator shook his head and said: "This exit has been gone for a long time. Fifteen years ago, there was a water collapse accident in the Hell Valley Mine, which closed the three major mining areas. This emergency exit is a one-way passage to the sixth mining area, not to mention that it has been
If it is closed, even if it is still connected, it will only lead from the sixth mining area to the central mining area. There is no way out from the sixth mining area."
Several other female classmates also found some maps, but they were of little reference value. Zhang Chi picked up these two maps and went to Cao Mingmin to report the information to her.
Zhou Xingrong and others who went to look for drinking water and food also came back. They only found a dozen bottles of mineral water and distributed them to everyone, that is, two people were given one bottle. They found nothing in terms of food. The luggage of the teachers and students were all there, and they were still there.
Many of them brought some snacks, but these snacks were not enough to sustain them for a whole day.
A large area of the tunnel leading to the train station collapsed, making it impossible to return the same way.
Cao Mingmin picked up Zhang Chi's map and asked for the opinions of several professors. Xue Hongyang, who had been feeling sad in the distance, also came over, looked at the map for a while and said: "I know about the mining disaster fifteen years ago.
Three hundred and seventy-two people did not have time to escape from the sixth mining area, and everyone was trapped inside. In order to prevent the water flow from affecting the central mining area, local blasting was carried out and the passage was completely sealed."
Cao Mingmin said: "There is no other way, and we have lost contact with the outside world. If we wait for their rescue here, we don't know how long it will take. Even if it is a dead end, we must try it."
Professor Liang agreed.
Several people exchanged opinions and decided to temporarily set up an expedition team to explore the road first. Even if they couldn't find a way out, they still hoped to find water and food. Only by solving the problem of survival could they last longer until the rescue team arrived.
They decided that Professor Liang would lead the team, and Professor Meng and Zhou Xingrong would join. Zhang Chi volunteered to join the expedition.
Xue Hongyang volunteered and said, "I'll go too. I went to the Sixth Mining Area when I was a trainee, and I still have some impressions of the terrain inside."
Cao Mingmin still has some concerns about his physical condition. Xue Hongyang said that he has no problem. Although his spiritual pressure and spiritual energy have been cleared, he is a second-grade warrior, so his physical strength and force value have not been affected. Even if he encounters danger,
You can protect yourself.
The six-person expedition team prepared a little before entering the fifth floor. Cao Mingmin said goodbye to them one by one. When they came to Zhang Chi, he whispered: "Be careful."
Zhang Chi said: "Don't worry, Director Cao, we will definitely find a way out."
A group of six people arrived on the fifth floor. The safety exit mark was in the bathroom on the fifth floor. The earthquake just now formed a herringbone crack in the back wall of the bathroom. The gap was big enough for an adult to pass sideways.
Professor Liang used the light from the overhead lamp to observe the cracks, and wondered to himself why this was such a coincidence. He had already made preparations to blow up the blocked passage, but he did not expect that the earthquake would re-expose the hidden passage.
Xue Hongyang said: "It's strange, it actually split."
Professor Meng said: "It's better if it's cracked, so we don't have to use explosives."
Professor Liang entered the crack sideways, and not far out, a fault appeared in front of him. He condensed his spiritual power, and the blue light fluctuated in his palm. A blue-white light ball slowly rose from his palm. Professor Liang waved his right hand gently, and the light ball
Floating forward, the place where they went suddenly became brighter. The light ball slowly settled towards the bottom of the fault. Using the light ball's illumination, they could see that the bottom of the fault was about twenty meters away from where they were, and there were piles of rocks underneath.
, this move is called flash of light, which is the most basic spiritual technique for superpowers. It can gather spirits into light and can be done by reaching the first-level spiritual realm. However, if you want to move the light ball freely like Professor Liang, you must reach the second-level spiritual realm.
people.
His eyes followed the ball of light, and Xue Hongyang pointed to the rocky ditch: "That seems to be the entrance."
Professor Meng said: "I'll go take a look!" He jumped into the air and his body was already flying in the air.
Zhang Chixin said that Lao Meng was awesome. The height of more than 20 meters was equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. If he jumped down like that, ordinary people would break their bones even if they didn't fall to death.
Professor Meng's body slowly descended, as if a pair of invisible big hands were dragging him. He used his own spiritual energy to counteract gravity. Superpowers call this the slow descent technique. His spiritual cultivation must reach the third level of negative energy containing spirit talent.
You can use slow descent.
This is the first time that Zhang Chi has seen these professors using psychic powers outside of the virtual system. If it had not been for life and death, these professors would not have revealed their true abilities. Although these superpowers are not comparable to the immortals' ability to escape from the sky.
, but the ability is far beyond that of ordinary people.
