There was silence in the dark underground river.
The black water flows quietly under the feet, and the silver steel frames shine in the cave, like spider webs made of steel, slowly strangling their throats, and fear will sweep everyone away. into it.
The desire is suffocating.
After being stunned for a long time, everyone swallowed hard.
'Gudong'
Is this coming back again?
impossible!
Obviously I didn't go back!
How could it possibly come back?
Everyone wiped their eyes and looked again.
Still so.
'tick'
'tick'
The humid air was filled with cold water vapor, and the crystal water droplets condensed into dewdrops fell down, each time traveling far away in the empty underground river.
The darkness all around seemed to be rolling in.
Looking at the strange scene in front of me, I recalled what the person in the team had said before.
Everyone present trembled with excitement!
What's happening here?
Looking at the strange scene in front of them, everyone took a few steps back in horror. A burst of cold air rushed directly from the soles of their feet to the Tianling Cap!
I heard that there is a big hole under this place, and pottery and bronze objects were excavated.
This place, this Gudong underneath, couldn't be a mass grave, right?
Cold sweat gradually began to flow from the foreheads of many engineering team members.
A gloomy and cold atmosphere gradually spread in the cave.
The cold river water flows slowly
'rustle'
In the silent space, there was the sound of rubbing footsteps.
The bright searchlight seemed to dim a bit. The people standing there slowly backed away, then looked at each other, and without saying a word, turned around and ran away!
Compared to the last time they left, this time they were no longer taking their time!
They tried their best to run along the river, hunched over, running in the rugged and dangerous underground river, feeling like they had run an 800-meter race!
'call! call! '
Everyone ran for their lives in fear, but a strange feeling always enveloped them, and the dark river seemed to be spreading.
However, what confused everyone was that not long after they ran, after passing a corner, they actually returned to the place where the steel frame was erected before! !
"How is this going!"
An emergency brake!
The bright searchlight illuminated the cave, and the dazzling light reflected on the white steel frame. When all the engineering staff saw this scene, their eyes widened and they almost suffocated!
What happened in this underground river?
Who buried the remains here?
They buried something!
'Boom, boom, boom, boom'
Fear and weakness struck together. Standing on the spot, everyone felt trembling all over, as if all their strength had been taken away. Some people even started to shake their legs and feet!
How is this going?
Is this underground river haunted?
After a while, everyone in panic turned around and ran away again!
But this time, when escaping, there was still a person who maintained a trace of reason. He marked the places he passed and drew signs on the rocks with a military green highlighter. He even made a special observation to see that he was definitely not going wrong. What, he didn’t even take the fork in the road, he just followed the river path!
However!
The result this time is still the same!
They still came to the place where they were before!
The surrounding darkness covered this place, and the dazzling searchlights seemed unable to illuminate the surroundings. The raging dark river flowed slowly, and fear and unknown swallowed everyone. Some people fell to the ground with a thud, and the damp and cold walls around them seemed to At this moment, they were all squeezing towards them.
Looking at the familiar passage for the third time, by this time, everyone was completely frightened!
Their faces were pale and ugly!
Is it really not clean here? !
"I knew archeology was not safe, and I knew there was nothing good down here."
"What's the matter with archaeology? He's just a fucking gravedigger."
"This antique is not normal, absolutely not normal."
A figure's legs were weak, and he was completely frightened by this scene. This person usually likes to burn incense and worship Buddha, but now he was completely frightened.
Everyone looked ugly.
"Stop talking! Let's go!"
A figure stepped forward and picked up the worker who was paralyzed on the ground, leading him to turn around and run away again!
However, even after they ran for dozens of minutes, they still couldn't see the end, thinking that this time they would continue to turn back inexplicably like the previous two times.
A dazzling golden light suddenly shone on them!
"????"
They raised their heads subconsciously, and then, the bright sunlight fell down, making everyone adapt to the darkness of their eyes. It stung extremely instantly, and tears trickled down!
He quickly closed his eyes and squatted down. Many engineering staff looked confused!
? ? ? ?
What the hell is this?
Out, out? !
One second it was a dark underground river, full of darkness and gloom, but the next second it was sunny? !
After a moment of adaptation, they slowly opened their eyes.
Looking at everything familiar around them, looking at the steel accumulation point and tools in the distance, everyone froze on the spot!
? ? ?
what happened?
Why did you come out again?
This huge contrast immediately made everyone dumbfounded!
And it doesn’t seem like this is near the cave entrance, right?
Why. appears here? !
The heart was beating loudly.
The sun was shining brightly.
The golden sunlight fell down, but it failed to bring any warmth.
The group of ten people were panting and almost couldn't believe it.
After a long time, someone reached out and pinched his thigh hard.
The severe pain made him look around clearly.
"It's not a dream."
"Did we get lost in the underground river just now?" He said with a pale face and some uncertainty.
The other nine people also nodded, their faces a little pale.
what's the situation?
Did they encounter a ghost beating the wall down there just now?
How could this thing appear here, and are there really ghosts breaking walls in the world?
How did they get out?
And what exactly is buried under the Qilian Mountains? Who did this?
Questions and doubts suddenly emerged from everyone's minds. They recalled many things that had happened before in horror. After telling each other and confirming that they were not hallucinations, they developed a materialistic and realistic worldview that they had cultivated over decades of hard work. It suddenly shook, and for a moment, everyone froze in place.
Just when these ten people were stunned and completely at a loss, the team that took their place in the next shift came from a distance.
"Huh? Old Pi? Are you coming out now? It's pretty fast."
The worker named Lao Pi, who was previously the captain of the third team in the underground river, was stunned for a moment and looked up at the familiar figure walking in the distance.
"Lao Kui?"
After a brief moment of confusion, he hurriedly asked: "Old Kui! How long have we been down there?"
"Huh?" The captain of the fourth team was stunned for a moment. He was a man who looked to be in his fifties. He was not tall and dark, but his body was covered with strong muscles. He had a towel on his shoulders. He looked like he had been there all year round. A veteran of working on the construction site.
"Let me take a look." He threw the cigarette in his hand and looked down at his watch: "More than an hour and a half? Hey, you guys came out quite quickly this time. I planned to wait for you outside first, but no The idea came out so quickly.”
"????"
A little over an hour and a half?
Hearing this, the ten people from the third team in the river suddenly became more and more confused!
What's happening here?
You have to know that the distance they traveled before took half an hour to go and half an hour to come. If you add in the work bracket, it would take at least about two hours!
It took more than an hour and a half, and even if they were working normally, they might not be able to finish!
And it clearly felt like I had to run around in the cave for a long time before. Just doing the loop took me three times!
How could it be only an hour and a half?
Everyone looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes, and hurriedly told many workers about their experiences!
After hearing their words, Lao Kui and the fourth team were also stunned.
"????"
"Ghost hits the wall?"
"get lost?"
"What are you doing? This is just a river. How can someone get lost and fight against ghosts?"
Lao Kui was a little dumbfounded, and finally said with a smile: "Are you too tired? How can there be any ghost in this world? Those are just words to lie to children."
"real!"
"Don't go down there! It's very strange in here!"
Everyone in the third team persuaded anxiously, but Lao Kui and others didn't believe it at all. They waved their hands and led their team away.
"you!"
With an anxious look on his face, and after a moment of hesitation, the captain of the third team followed him up with a stamp of his feet. He turned around and ordered his nine team members: "Xiao Fang, Xiao Tian, take your people and go back quickly and report this matter. I'm sure you will be here." Something's wrong, Brother Long, you and Guangcai come down with me, I'm afraid something will happen to Lao Kui and the others!"
"good!"
Facing the order, although the nine team members were frightened, they quickly started to take action.
The captain of the third team led Brother Long and Guang Cai in pursuit, trying their best to stop Lao Kui and the others.
Even to prove all this, the three of them once again followed the fourth team deep into the underground river, hoping to show them the traces they left.
However, what made the three of them confused was that when they arrived at their location, they found that all the marks they had left had disappeared!
"Mark?" Lao Kui said with a smile.
"How is this going?"
"Why is the mark gone?"
Looking at the empty rocks, Lao Pi and the other two were immediately confused!
What's happening here?
I remember it was clearly here!
I also made many special marks!
Seeing this scene, Lao Kui sighed and walked over helplessly and patted the captain of the third team on the shoulder: "Lao Pi, I know it's not easy for you. You still have two children to raise, but don't work so hard. , It won’t work if you damage your body, and the same goes for you two, please go back and rest for a while before coming back.”
After saying that, the man picked up the equipment on his shoulders and led everyone away.
Looking at the blank rock, the members of the third team fell into confusion and self-doubt. They had no idea what was going on!
However, in fact, it is not just the engineering team members who support the tunnel in the underground river!
When they went back and told other people about these things, no one believed them at all!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Must be tired."
"Is there anything weird in this world? I didn't even see it when I was mining."
Even the senior management of the engineering team didn't believe everything at all. They just smiled and gave everyone in the third team a few days off to let them take a rest.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the third team was really angry.
However, no matter how much they say, no one believes everything.
Not only did no one believe it, but no one would ever encounter the same situation as them in the next period of time!
Even after they finished their break and entered again, they never encountered anything like this!
Even Lao Pi and others from the third team were a little suspicious at this time!
"Are everything you encountered before really true?"
But if it’s fake, then it’s too real, right?
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
As the excavation deepened, on this day, other workers involved in the Qilian Mountain project on the other side encountered an even weirder thing.
'Rustling.'
As everyone dug deeper, some vague sounds gradually began to appear in the forest.
There were not many sounds at first, just like the breeze blowing, and among the roaring sounds of machinery in the sky, they could not attract anyone's attention at all.
Even the surrounding birds, animals, fish and insects could not hear these sounds.
But over time, as many engineers continued to dig and progress, these sounds gradually began to become obvious.
The first ones to bear the brunt are the many animals near the mountains.
Although many trees in this mountain range have been cut down and machinery is rumbling, there are still many animals living there.
Their spirits have never been extinguished. Amidst this chaotic and noisy sound, they raised their heads one after another, with obvious fear in their eyes.
In the next few days, they all quietly exited the area with their tails between their legs and their wings flapping.
Even the flies and mosquitoes that were originally swirling around have all evacuated here one by one.
Huge machines roared, and densely packed engineering personnel walked on the construction site.
They did not notice these details and were still working in full swing.
But as the machines roared and the archaeological excavation deepened, these sounds became more and more numerous.
Finally one day.
"Where does this sound come from? It seems like someone is whispering..."
