It stands to reason that although there was no one around in the deep mountains where they were at that time, there would still be some chirping of birds and insects, but since the mist approached them, the surroundings began to become extremely quiet, as if the whole world was filled with nothing but... They are both the same person.
Xu Liqiang, who was getting more and more panicked as he waited, kept looking around, trying to find the direction they came from, but found that because of the thick fog, he could no longer tell the difference between east, west, north and west...
"Zhou Rui, I think it's better to forget it today. Let's evacuate as soon as the fog clears! I don't know why, but I feel a little flustered..." Xu Liqiang said nervously.
Zhou Rui heard this but disagreed and said, "Why retreat? I guess the air-raid shelter should be not far ahead. We are all here. It's a shame if we don't take some footage and go back!"
Unexpectedly, while the two were talking, Xu Liqiang suddenly saw someone standing under a big tree not far away, so he immediately asked loudly, "Who? Who is there?!"
Xu Liqiang's words startled Zhou Rui, but when he turned around to look, the fog in that direction gradually became thicker again, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he looked at Xu Liqiang with some confusion and said, "Are you dazzled?" ?How can you see what’s under the trees in such a thick fog?”
But Xu Liqiang shook his head and said, "The mist under the tree was very thin just now, there must be something there..."
Seeing that Xu Liqiang was so sure, Zhou Rui felt a little nervous, so he slowly pulled Xu Liqiang to the tree. As a result, he didn't see the figure, but he found a red sports backpack under the tree.
Zhou Rui walked over and picked up the backpack and looked at it, and said with some surprise, "Why is there a backpack here? It looks quite new... Could it be that there was someone else just now?" Thinking of this, Zhou Rui looked around Shouted, "Is anyone there? You dropped your backpack!"
But no one answered after he shouted for a long time, and Xu Liqiang saw that the red color of the backpack was a bit dazzling, so he quickly said to Zhou Rui, "Who knows who dropped it here, throw it away quickly!"
Zhou Rui smiled, and then opened the backpack without saying a word. It turned out that it was full of food and water, but the dates were three years ago and had long passed the shelf life.
"I told you to throw it away, but I think the color of this backpack is a bit eye-catching... Don't you think it's a bit evil to pick up a red backpack in the wilderness?" Xu Liqiang said with an ugly expression.
When Zhou Rui heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Qiangzi, when did you become so superstitious? This is nothing more than something thrown here by a backpacker. Do you need to make such a fuss?"
But Xu Liqiang didn't think so and asked him, "As a backpacker, would you throw away a bag full of food and water easily?"
Zhou Rui thought for a while and said, "This is so close to Huaili County. Maybe the other party didn't want to carry the load down the mountain, so they threw away the unused supplies. This is also very common when hiking."
"Even if it's like what you said... But the shelf life of the food in this bag is three years ago. How come such a backpack is still as good as new after being left here for so long? Don't you think this is a bit strange? ?" Xu Liqiang said in a deep voice.
Zhou Rui really couldn't explain this, so he put the red backpack back to its original place and said, "It's just a backpack. We don't need these supplies anyway, so I should put it back at the head office?!"
But just when the red backpack attracted all their attention, they didn't realize that the thick fog around them was slowly dissipating. A rusty door gradually emerged from the thick fog. It turned out that the air-raid shelter was just a few steps away. On a mountain wall not far from them...
Xu Liqiang wanted to continue to persuade Zhou Rui to go down the mountain when the fog cleared, but then he saw Zhou Rui suddenly excitedly patted his shoulder and said, "Hadron, hadron! Look what's over there?"
After hearing this, Xu Liqiang looked in the direction of Zhou Rui's finger, and suddenly found that the entrance to the air-raid shelter was right in front of him... He was suddenly surprised, because he clearly remembered that before the thick fog came, that location was a bush full of weeds.
It's a pity that Zhou Rui was too excited at the time and didn't care about Xu Liqiang's expression at all. While turning on the equipment to prepare for shooting, he pulled the other person towards the air-raid shelter...
Judging from the degree of decay of the iron gate, this place must have been abandoned for decades. After the two struggled to push open the rusted iron gate, a narrow and deep cave was revealed. There are steps going all the way down at the entrance of the cave, and the steps are covered with moss and silt. It seems that when it rains, there is a lot of rainwater poured into the cave...
Xu Liqiang looked at the deep corridor below and said with a face of resistance, "Why do I feel that this is not like an air raid shelter? It is built in such a low-lying area, why don't you wait for water to be poured into it when it rains?!"
But Zhou Rui didn't take it seriously and said, "What do you know... The iron door must have been very well sealed at that time. It's not like it is now rusted through, so naturally it can't stop the rain."
After Zhou Rui finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Liqiang to speak, so he turned on his headlight and walked down first... Xu Liqiang had no choice but to go down too. Then the two of them walked down and the terrain became flat after a while, and The corridor in front of them also became much wider.
"Dear friends, this is an air-raid shelter that has been abandoned for decades. Judging from the trend of the corridor, the air-raid shelter itself should have been built by taking advantage of the mountain, and then a part of the space was manually dug out..." Zhou Ruibian moved forward. While walking, he introduced the situation in the cave.
Xu Liqiang followed Zhou Rui, feeling inexplicably flustered every step he took. Although he had been to many abandoned buildings that looked very eerie and scary before, he had never felt this way before.
Thinking of this, Xu Liqiang quickly grabbed the excited Zhou Rui and said, "That's it. Let's not go any further inside. I'm afraid the air quality inside is not good... any toxic gases won't be able to escape in time."
In the end, Zhou Rui slapped his hand away and said, "What are you afraid of... Don't we have disposable gas masks in our bags? If you are worried, just take them out and put them on. How many minutes have we been filming? We finally got here." Wouldn’t it be a big loss to just take a few minutes of footage in one trip? Besides, this passage is quite a long way away, I guess there should be a bigger space waiting for us inside."
Seeing that he couldn't talk to Zhou Rui, Xu Liqiang had no choice but to continue to follow him cautiously. But the further he walked in, the more uneasy he felt... It was as if the two of them were getting closer to something unknown. The dangers are the same.
