It's a pity that in the dark and long corridor, except Zhou Rui's own echo, no one else responded...
At first Zhou Rui thought Xu Liqiang might have entered another corridor, so he quickly ran out of the corridor and entered another corridor. As a result, there was not only no figure of Xu Liqiang in the other corridor, but also no exit to the outside.
When Zhou Rui said this, he looked at Song Jiang and the others and said, "I remember walking back and forth in the two corridors many times, but I couldn't find the hadron. Finally, I ran back to the entrance of the cave where I had fallen down and looked. , the result was still no, then I couldn’t run anymore, so I fell asleep leaning on a broken wooden box, but when I woke up again, I was already in the hospital.”
Song Jiang was surprised and said, "Who rescued you?"
Deng Kai on the side answered for Zhou Rui, "They didn't contact anyone from the company for several days. The company was worried about something happening and called the police. When the police came, they confirmed with the local fellows that they had indeed gone into the mountains. So we went up the mountain to search, and finally found him in a dry ditch in Danglan Mountain. He was seriously injured and severely dehydrated at the time. It would have been impossible to find him one day later."
"You can't remember how you came out at all?" Gu Hao said in surprise.
Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about this matter over and over again in the past two days, but I really can't remember anything. I only remember that I got separated from Qiangzi in the end, and I kept looking for him back and forth in the corridor. …”
Deng Kai sighed at this time and said, "It's been so many days, I guess the situation is getting worse. I'm not telling you, that air-raid shelter is so remote...how did you know that place!?"
Zhou Rui also said with a look of regret, "It's all my fault... We couldn't find a suitable topic for a long time, so I became a little anxious. I searched the Internet for old abandoned buildings all day long, and then I saw one An article posted by a travel friend with the online name Lone Xingke mentioned the air-raid shelter in Danglan Mountain. I thought this was a good topic, so I drove there with Qiangzi, who knew that such a thing would happen!"
When Zhou Rui talked about his excitement, he actually grabbed Deng Kai and said, "We must find Qiangzi no matter what. He has been a volunteer in the rescue team in the past few years. He has rich experience in surviving in the wild, so I can survive." How could something happen to him?!"
Seeing that Zhou Rui was a little excited, Deng Kai could only comfort him and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely try our best, but you'd better be mentally prepared. After all, so many days have passed..."
After the four of them left the hospital and returned to the car, Song Jiang asked Meng Zhe in confusion, "What do you think happened to the stone statue that Zhou Rui and the others saw?!"
Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for the time being... but the person who can use eyes as tribute is probably not a righteous god. These two idiots should have collided with something in the cave. If I guessed correctly, that Xu Liqiang is probably left in the cave as a sacrifice."
"Ah... you can't?! Then should we help him find it?" Deng Kai said in surprise.
Meng Zhe snorted coldly after hearing this, "No matter who that guy is, he can just hide in the mountains and practice. He can't harm people's lives after all. And if he doesn't get rid of him as soon as possible... Xu Liqiang is probably not The last victim."
So after a brief discussion, several people decided to leave for Huaili County the next day, and hired a local professional guide who knew the situation to take them into Danglan Mountain. Zhou Rui originally wanted to go along, but Deng Kai felt that he was a burden even in his current situation, so he persuaded him hard and promised to help him find the whereabouts of Xu Liqiang.
The next morning, Zhou Shiwu drove a 7-seater MPV to pick up a few people, and then set off directly towards Huaili County. As for the local guide, Shen Hu, a volunteer who had previously participated in the search.
Deng Kai was eating peanuts boredly on the way, and asked Zhou Shiwu who was driving, "Fifth brother, have you been to Danglan Mountain before?"
Zhou Shiwu shook his head and said, "I'm not mentally ill... Why would I go to a place like that?!"
"Look at what you said...don't you know that humans have always had the dream of conquering mountains?" Deng Kai said with a smile.
Zhou Shiwu said somewhat ridiculously, "I have time to conquer the mountains, wouldn't it be good to earn more money? Don't talk to me about spirit, love, or dreams. It would be good if I could support myself when I was young. Conquering mountains? Unless I’m out of my mind.”
When Song Jiang heard this, he smiled and said, "Everyone has different ideas. This is normal... Fifth brother, don't you have anything you particularly like to do?"
Zhou Shiwu thought about it seriously and said, "Does making money count?"
Song Jiang laughed and said, "Of course making money doesn't count... I'm talking about the kind of pure enjoyment, doing things that will not produce much value and may be a waste of time."
Zhou Shiwu was stunned after hearing this. It seemed that there had been such a thing in his mind, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, so he shook his head and said, "It's a waste of time and useless." I probably won’t do anything that generates value in my life.”
Deng Kai on the side asked Gu Hao curiously, "Master Gu, do you have one?"
"What's there?" Gu Hao said angrily.
Deng Kai smacked his teeth and said, "Look at you... why are you so unsociable? We were just talking about our love and dreams in life, do you have any?!"
"Does immortality count?" Gu Hao said coldly.
Meng Zhe, who was sitting in the second row and had been sleeping with his eyes closed, couldn't hold it back anymore. He burst into laughter and said, "It is indeed a good dream..."
"Can we be more realistic? You are not Qin Shihuang?! What are you doing for such a long time? Come and do what you want...such as smoking, drinking, singing and playing games?!" Deng Kai said with a look of anticipation.
Gu Hao shook his head and said, "No..."
"Impossible, there is always something for everyone, right? You are not a god, how can you have no desires and no desires?" Deng Kai said with a look of disbelief.
Gu Hao said impatiently, "You don't believe me after I told you? Do you think everyone is like you and likes to pursue sensory stimulation all day long..."
A few people chatted all the way to pass the time, and arrived at Huaili County at noon. They also successfully picked up the guide Shen Hu... He looked about forty or so, with three-dimensional facial features, but some middle-aged cheeks, and young He should also be a handsome guy with good looks.
Afterwards, the group of them went to a local specialty restaurant in Huaili County for lunch.
