Do you want to continue?

Not only did the rescue team, which had already gone two kilometers deep into the tunnel, face the problem, but also the outside of the mausoleum.

Because the situation in the tunnel is not clear, the tunnel is sometimes limited to one person bending forward, sometimes four people can pass side by side, the rescue team walked step by step, so it took more than two hours to go deep into the position of two kilometers.

However, if we continue to do so, we will lose the continuous power supply and communication with the outside world.

Before making the next decision, the rescue team rested on the spot and used the wires to charge the lighting equipment to ensure the most abundant power reserves.

The current that has been boosted to 240 volts has been reduced by the time it continues along the wires, but it is still within the acceptable range of all electrical equipment.

"Dr. Li, do you want to continue? I'm afraid it won't be easy to go any further. ”

Feng Shui master Zhou Shuigen fiddled with the compass and discussed this issue with Li Bai.

Walking two kilometers, although the distance is not very far, but there is a thick layer of loess up and down, left and right, and the psychological pressure cannot be described in words.

If Li Bai gave up, he would not hesitate to give up.

Li Bai looked at the tunnel that still had no end and said, "Of course continue!"

Where the light does not shine, darkness swallows everything, hiding countless unknowns.

The storage ring in his hand contained quite enough survival materials, food, water, and various daily necessities, enough for everyone to walk in the tunnels for 180 years without any problem.

Of course, if there is enough oxygen in the tunnel.

"If you don't guess wrong, go further, there is Helan Mountain above, and it will be dangerous if you don't do it. ”

Although he didn't encounter any traps and terrifying creatures along the way, Zhou Shuigen didn't have a bottom in his heart.

According to the compass's instructions, he vaguely felt that this tunnel extended from the royal tomb to Helan Mountain, and it was no longer a thick loess layer, but a group of mountains and mountains, and there were many uncertainties in the sky.

Although he had never encountered those strange unknown creatures, Zhou Shuigen had a hunch that they would encounter them sooner or later.

Although Dr. Li's "dragon scales" have an obvious expulsion effect, in the almost closed underground space, this expulsion only continuously compresses the opponent's activity space, and when there is no way to retreat, they will still encounter those creatures.

"Leave it to me, I'll take care of everything!"

The crowbar in Li Bai's hand kept knocking on the ground, how powerful can a mere insect be as powerful as a Qingyao demon girl?

Even if he is himself, he can easily send those messy little things to reincarnate.

The tunnel, full of mystery and unknown, is not so dangerous in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm quitting!"

A very abrupt voice broke the buzzing discussion.

There was a sudden silence in the tunnel, and everyone followed the prestige in unison.

The person who spoke was Xu Wensheng, a professional wilderness rescue expert, who originally volunteered to join, but he didn't expect to suddenly want to quit the rescue operation at this time.

"Lao Xu, are you sure?"

Some people in the rescue team are peers with Xu Wensheng, but they are from the amateur volunteer rescue team, and they have some friendship with each other.

Xu Wensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I, I still have family to take care of." ”

Of course, he didn't want to say that he thought it was just a normal rescue operation.

However, after seeing the fragmented wreckage of the robot, they knew that they were completely wrong, that this unknown tunnel was full of terrifying creatures, and that if they continued to go deeper, they would probably lose their lives.

Xu Wensheng is no longer the stage where one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, if there are three long and two short, the family is estimated to have to drink the northwest wind, rescue is not to die, naturally to assess the risk, once it is beyond his ability, he has to give up.

Some people suddenly gave up halfway, and the faces of others were not very good-looking, in a way, no different from the traitors in the middle of the team.

The eldest of the two policemen said: "Participating in the rescue is all voluntary, and if you want to quit, you can quit! But if you want to leave the supplies, who else wants to quit?"

When no one picked out this topic, the old policeman stepped forward and took the lead, and the other policeman was also very determined.

The people who participated in the rescue team were all volunteers, there were not so many restrictions, and they came and went freely, but the withdrawal of Xu Wensheng, a rescue expert, made others more or less discouraged.

"Also, and me, I, I don't have a girlfriend yet!"

A young man with glasses raised his hand, his face blue and white, and he didn't dare to look at the others.

This makes people want to laugh out loud, but no one really laughs at him, the two-child policy has only begun to be liberalized in recent years, so most of today's young people are only children, if there are three long and two short, it is equivalent to extinction.

The bespectacled young man was a student of Professor Zhu, a member of the archaeological team, one of the missing was his iron buddy, and the other was a sister in pursuit.

One of the reasons for joining the rescue team is that he wants to ask his good buddies face to face why he prying into the corner of his brother and quietly abducting his favorite girl, what is this?

said that he would stick a knife in his brother's ribs, but it turned into a knife in his brother's two knives, which is a typical sad story of licking a dog and not being able to house.

But now, the road ahead is full of dangers, as he is still a single dog, he has to face the reality, licking the dog to lick his own life, that is, the gain outweighs the loss.

The young man was very simple, and he didn't want to bury his buddies who betrayed him.

There was silence at the scene, and after a while, the old policeman said, "Is there anyone else? It's too late to quit now! No one will laugh." ”

Instead of leaving the team on the way, it is better to retreat directly now, and there is no room for hesitation on the way forward.

Xu Wensheng, the first rescue expert who proposed to quit, was expressionless, losing face was a small matter, and it was a sin to let his family fall into misfortune, who dared to guarantee that he lost his life, and the family could still be taken care of, even if there was care, it could only be for a while, not a lifetime.

The other young man who was about to quit looked dejected, full of guilt, and didn't dare to look at other people, let alone assistant teacher Jiang Yue.

However, Assistant Teacher Jiang Yue, who is also a member of the archaeological team, didn't say anything, he could understand the other party's thoughts, this student was not selfish, and he didn't think as much as Xu Wensheng, just instinctively cherished his life, and it was just human nature.

The others looked at each other, although they remained silent, but no one wanted to quit, joining the rescue team originally required courage, and coming here cannot be regarded as timid, but everyone's ability to bear it is different.

Feng Shui master Zhou Shuigen looked calm, as long as Master Li Bai is here, there will be no danger, even if there is, it will be easy to turn the danger into a disaster, and in the end there will be no danger.

After waiting for a while, the old policeman said to Xu Wensheng and the students of the archaeological team: "Put down your backpack, you can go back." ”

Those who continue to go deeper need supplies in their backpacks, and those who quit have the right to do a hard job, and it is not in vain.

The students of the archaeological team hurriedly put their hiking bags on the ground, leaving only the carrying vests and head-mounted miner's lamps.

"Dr. Li, do you have any extra snake scales?"

Rescue expert Xu Wensheng slowly put down the huge mountaineering bag, but looked at Li Bai not far away.

is worthy of being an expert, in the end he is an understanding person, although he does not have Li Bai's glass heart, but he still has experience and strength in his eyes.

The loess walls in the tunnel, which seemed to be strong, were actually very brittle, and he could cut a large piece with a hoe, and he found many strange and suspicious holes, the large ones that could be stuffed into a fist, the small ones that were as thick as a pen refill, and the remnants of some molten carapaces, which were obviously more than just a creature.

But along the way, there were no creatures to be seen, and it was obvious that the snake scales in the hands of Dr. Li Bai, who was at the front of the line, might really have the effect of expelling snakes, insects, rats and ants.

If you break away from the group and turn around with another person, without the snake scales to protect you, you are likely to encounter those creatures that inhabit the tunnels and avoid the snake scales for a while, which means that the return journey will become very dangerous.

"The snake scales are given to you, what should we do? Why don't you come with us!"

Also trying to figure it out is Feng Shui master Zhou Shuigen.

He thought that there was only one snake scale, and if he gave it to the two who withdrew, the people who stayed behind would be in danger.

The exploration robots were torn to pieces by unknown creatures as they entered, and they were able to make it all the way here, thanks in large part to the snake scales.

"It's okay! I still have it here, take it, this is lent to you, remember to give it to the professors when you go out. ”

Li Bai flipped his palm and threw out a green light.

Xu Wensheng hurriedly caught it, and under the illumination of the head-mounted miner's lamp, the palm-sized scales emitted a strange green light, and for no reason, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up involuntarily.

It's no wonder that feng shui masters call it dragon scales, and there is clearly some extraordinary aura on them.

The two took the snake scales lent by Li Bai, and carried an extra outdoor camping lamp, and returned along the same road.

With the sound of footsteps in the distance, a strange rustling sound echoed in the tunnel, and the people who stayed behind looked at each other.

Obviously, this tunnel that leads to nowhere is not as simple as it seems.

It was slow to come, but it was much faster to return.

Coupled with the faint rustling sound from the front and back, half an hour later, the two people who withdrew from the rescue team almost trotted all the way back to the ground.

However, Xu Wensheng did not hand over the turquoise snake scales to Professor Zhu Chaoye, but put them in his pocket and left the archaeological excavation site by himself.

The professors who got the news through the optical fiber were so busy that they forgot to ask the two who came out for snake scales.

The rescue team, located at a distance of two kilometers in the tunnel, quickly received a decision from the surface, and they were free to decide whether to advance or retreat, taking into account the unknowable dangers hidden underground.
