Soon the two of them came to the electronic screen that was integrated into the stone before, but they found that the original camouflage had gone somewhere, but there were a few rough stones directly blocking the intersection.
After careful observation, it was found that the gravel was covered with moss, and the surface was partially corroded by the wind. It seems that these stones have been here for a long time. If Lu Chen and Dong Lin hadn't been here before, ordinary people would definitely not think that there would be a passage behind the rubble.
"Hehe, it seems that it's not inaction, it's already done." Dong Lin smiled, but he couldn't figure out who would come here to block this intersection, and he did it so quietly , It was obviously something that was done after careful planning. But Dong Lin didn't notice anyone walking in. Could it be that the people inside did it?
But after thinking about it, I felt that things would not be so simple. If it was really done inside, then it is certain that there is another passage inside, and the people inside must have escaped along that secret passage.
When Dong Lin spoke, he stretched out his palm and patted directly on the gravel, pushing the gravel directly into the intersection without any effort.
The sun shone directly into the cave along the entrance of the cave, and the scene in front of them couldn't help but made the two of them gasp. , Because under the sun, three people fell in front of two people in a row, and a stench was emitted from their bodies. Needless to say, it has been some time since these three people died.
Dong Lin didn't speak at this time. After holding his breath, he squatted down and turned one of them over. After all, the three of them were lying on the ground after death.
Seeing that this person's face had turned black, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable for a while, but he could only observe this person carefully.
"There is no obvious trauma, it doesn't look like he was killed." After a careful look, Dong Lin just came to such a conclusion. Looking at the clothes of this man, he was no different from the craftsmen he had seen before.
"How could this be?" Chase Lu was surprised. After he thought that these three people might have escaped and were discovered, they were silenced. After all, the three of them were impartial and died at the intersection. But Dong Lin said that the three died of natural causes.
Dong Lin didn't answer Chase Lu's words, but took out a lighter from his pocket. After lighting it up and walking a few steps inside, the lighter suddenly went out.
Dong Lin came back directly and grabbed the arm of one of them. At this time, it was obvious that this person's fingertips were already covered with blood and flesh, and there were some stone chips on the nails.
"It seems that these people all died of suffocation. They seemed to have struggled fiercely before they were alive, but they couldn't move the gravel blocking the road." Dong Lin made such a conclusion based on some things he had obtained.
"I can't figure it out. They are craftsmen. Besides, the city in this mountain is under construction. If people block the intersection, they can use tools to dig a way out." Lu Chen rubbed his chin and looked at it. When it came to Dong Lin's demonstration, it was obvious that the air wasn't circulating in the room. Looking at the fingertips of the three people, they must have been struggling violently. Dong Lin's guess should be correct. But it's not that there are no tools in this mountain, on the contrary, all the tools are available, even large excavators. It is not very difficult to dig out another way. They are not so stupid to give up such a good tool, but use their own hands to open up a way to escape.
"Then I'm not sure about this. Let's wait for the air to get in a little bit before going in to take a look. Maybe there is the answer we want inside." After Lu Chen's analysis, Dong Lin also began to waver in his speculation. But the facts are right in front of us, and there is no room for the second possibility.
The two of them each had their own concerns in mind, and they just sat on the stone blocking the way that was knocked open at the entrance of the cave. At this time, Dong Lin was no longer in the mood to talk to Lu Chen. At this time, Dong Lin was also lost in thought, trying to figure out what was going on.
The two of them suddenly felt that time was passing slowly, and they were thinking that they should rush in to see what was going on inside, and whether the hundreds of people who were originally working inside were still safe.
Finally, an hour had passed, and Lu Chen and Dong Lin had no patience to wait any longer. On the contrary, Dong Lin was more impatient than Lu Chen at this time, he rushed into the cave without saying hello to Lu Chen. In order to avoid wasting air again, Dong Lin adjusted his breathing rhythm to the lowest, and did not light a fire to enter. Instead, he groped forward by relying on the faint light in the darkness.
Naturally, Lu Chen followed closely behind Dong Lin and slowly moved forward along the road. Fortunately, the two of them did not find other corpses along the way.
Can't help but let Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, hoping that those people before did not have any major accidents.
"Wait, this place seems to be sealed by people." In the darkness, Dong Lin found out with a glimmer of light that the final checkpoint to the city was also tightly blocked by big rocks.
Naturally, Lu Chen also saw it, and before Dong Lin finished speaking, Lu Chen took the first step and slapped these boulders with his palm.
With a bang, these gravels couldn't stop Chase Lu's full blow at all, and immediately fell forward in the direction of Chase Lu's force.
Can't wait, Chase Lu jumped out of the narrow hole first, but the originally brightly lit and popular mountain city was completely dark inside at this time, and he couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hands.
"Come back first, the air inside is quite thin, you won't be here long." After catching up, Dong Lin took out a lighter but failed to light it for a long time. It seems that the air here has also been consumed. Quickly dragged Lu Chen back into the narrow hole again.
In the darkness, the two had no idea what the other's expression was like now. But it can be known that the two of them are in a very heavy mood now, and they have no intention of talking at all. It's like the darkness inside, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
Finally, it was difficult to survive for more than ten minutes. Lu Chen didn't wait any longer, he just took out his mobile phone and used the light from the screen to illuminate the front, wanting to see what's going on inside.
I didn't expect to step in like this, but I was almost tripped by something under my feet. After a stagger, Chase Lu, who stabilized his figure, quickly took his mobile phone to see what it was and almost tripped himself to the ground.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, Lu Chen's brows are furrowed again. What he saw was the thigh of a person, and this person was also lying on the ground in craftsman's clothes. It seemed that this person had already lost all signs of life. This was the fourth body Chase Lu found.
Dong Lin glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, but he didn't squat down to check this time. Unsurprisingly, this person was also suffocated to death due to the thin air. But a bigger doubt directly appeared in the minds of the two of them. Don't these people have any desire to struggle? Wouldn't it be possible to use tools to open up a passage for survival?
Based on the memory of his last visit, Dong Lin had already found a generator inside, and was preparing to generate electricity to brighten up the cave again, but only then did he realize that the generator had no power at all, because the There was no oil left in the barrel.
"It seems that if I want to find out the reason, I can only go out and get some diesel oil. You wait here, and I will come back when I go." Dong Lin can't feel such a big place thoroughly in the dark. . If you want to see what's going on here, you still have to rely on the generator.
Chase Lu nodded and didn't speak. Now his mood is quite heavy. Although he didn't know any of these people, they were all people who were alive before, and it was very likely that the deaths of these people were caused by himself and Dong Lin. If only he and Dong Lin hadn't revealed their identities. These people should still continue construction here, with dreams of getting rich.
Although these dreams may not come true, they are better than just lying on the cold ground and no one notices them.
Waiting for Dong Lin to leave, Lu Chen did not stop at the spot, but continued to grope forward with the weak light of his mobile phone, wondering what the rest of the people were like now.
After walking a few steps, Chase Lu found four or five corpses again, and his mood sank to the bottom. Obviously, the rest of the people probably would not end well.
Dong Lin's speed was surprisingly fast. He probably used his inner breath to return to the cave with two oil barrels in just over ten minutes. He found the generator again and filled it up with diesel. after.
There was a noisy sound, and the lights were turned on one by one, until the whole picture of the mountain city was presented to the two of them again.
The scene in front of them made the two of them fall into shock again. The half-reclaimed hill in front of them was already filled with dozens of people, and most of them knelt on half of the hill. He raised his neck, raised his head high, and opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to suck all the surrounding air into his mouth. Apparently this is their last desperate struggle.
