In the dark and cramped underground cave, a group of people followed Vincent, each holding a strong flashlight and carefully walking along a slippery path deeper into the cave. Because the cave was deep and relatively closed,
The cold air above did not have much impact here. The sound of water dripping on the stone slabs came from all directions from time to time, bringing an even weirder atmosphere to this already scary underground cave.
Due to the relatively humid air here, the searchlights mounted on the rock walls had been completely damaged. Lin Cheng tried to repair them for a while before finally giving up. At the same time, he also realized that they might really have to rely on themselves this time.
, all the engineering equipment and lighting equipment left behind by the previous group of people can no longer be used.
The area of this underground cave is not large. Even though the team moved very slowly, they still reached the end after more than ten minutes.
Looking at the rusty iron gate built on the rock wall in front of them, Lin Cheng and Vincent looked at each other. After noticing the helpless look in Vincent's eyes, Lin Cheng shook his head and took out the black jade from his waist.
The dagger walked to the iron door and used the dagger to strike hard at the door lock hanging on it. Hearing a crisp "clang" sound, he chopped off the door lock in an instant!
After smashing the door lock, Lin Cheng put his hands on the door handle and pulled hard, hearing a tooth-itching sound of metal friction. This iron door had been closed for nearly two years.
Finally he opened me up again!
The moment the iron door opened, a gust of wind suddenly blew in his face from behind the door. Vincent, who was frightened, trembled and ran away quickly. However, Lin Cheng was already used to this phenomenon and simply ignored it.
Yin Feng raised his feet and walked in.
Seeing Lin Cheng walking into the door so carelessly, everyone who stayed behind looked at each other. Finally, under Bai Ling's urging, everyone reluctantly stepped through the iron door one after another and walked into the small group.
A place I have never been to before!
Lin Cheng, who was the first to walk into the iron gate, thought that this place would be very different from the cave. But after entering, he found that he had overthought it. The space behind the iron gate was still a cave area. The only difference was that the space had become larger.
The cave he was in now was almost half the size of a football field. There were dense stalactites hanging upside down on the rock wall above his head. Walking in it, Lin Cheng involuntarily slowed down his pace a lot, for fear of causing any disturbance.
The wife broke the stalactite above her head and stabbed herself.
After walking forward for a while and discovering that there was nothing noteworthy except for the stalactites scattered all around, Lin Cheng stopped and waited for the people behind him to catch up and asked Vincent: "Are you talking about those gnawing stones?"
Is this where the body of the eater was found? But look, apart from the beautiful natural scenery, there is no trace of the eater in this ghost place? There is not even any trace of artificial excavation!"
"this……"
At this time, Vincent was also confused. After entering the world behind the iron gate, he found that this place was completely different from what he had imagined before. Not only did there not be the expected engineering equipment and traces of digging up the corpses of gnawers,
There are not even signs of a large number of human activities, as if this is just a natural cave discovered accidentally.
But he doesn't think that this place is really as simple as it seems. If that were the case, the iron door just now would have no meaning at all. There would be no reason for so many people to build a large door thousands of meters underground with great fanfare.
The iron gate is just to protect such a natural cave, right?
"I can't understand it either..."
Vincent shook his head, completely confused about the situation and could only tell the truth at this time. It was true that he had been to the apocalyptic sinkhole, but as a non-staff member, he had only entered the previous small cave to open his eyes.
That's it, he can't set foot in any deeper place.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng was helpless, but he couldn't force it. Originally Vincent was just a temporary guide he found, but later he discovered that this old researcher seemed to know more than ordinary people, so he had higher expectations for him.
expectations, but now it seems that he still thinks too much.
Although things have become more and more deviated from his original idea, Lin Cheng is not an ordinary person after all. After lighting a cigarette for himself and taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice to the people behind him: "Although this place does not look dangerous, since the entrance
There are iron gates everywhere, which means that this place is by no means as simple as it seems. Everyone, cheer up and follow me closely so as not to fall behind, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"knew……"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, although everyone had different thoughts, they still replied in unison. From the moment they entered this underground cave, their fates have been closely linked. No matter what their original purpose was, in
Everyone must be united here, otherwise there will not be a good ending waiting for them.
Since the area of the cave was much larger, Lin Cheng and his party were much better off on their way back than before. Although there were still water stains on the ground, no one slipped as they walked carefully.
Walking all the way to the depths of the cave, although no one knew where the next entrance was, the experienced Lin Cheng relied on his keen sense of smell to lead everyone to find the next entrance in less than half an hour.
There was no obstruction at the entrance of this natural cave. Lin Cheng took a flashlight and looked inside, and found that it was a narrow passage winding downwards. This passage appeared to be naturally formed, with the slippery walls all around except for the top one.
Apart from the lighting, there are no traces of artificial excavation.
Now, Lin Cheng finally saw some clues. After entering this underground space, those scientists seemed to pay great attention to maintaining the original state of the place. Apart from the necessary lighting props, there were not many engineering equipment and construction traces at all. Lin Cheng
I don't know why they did this, but I guess they must have their own reasons.
And there was another situation that concerned him. On the way here, Vincent mentioned to him more than once that there had been several incidents of gnawing injuries here. Logically speaking, this should be where the incident happened.
The ground is dead, not to mention the corpses everywhere, but there should be at least some traces of blood, right?
But let alone blood stains along the way, there wasn't even a trace of a battle. It didn't look like an underground space where monsters were rampant, but rather like a tourist resort with natural wonders.
