What can be dug out of the ground?
No one knew it, but the dogs had already started barking.
This is not a good sign.
Rhubarb is a very smart dog. No matter Yan Yueming, Li Zheng and Li Heping who first dealt with it, or Dong Xiaoyin and the members of the fourth team who came into contact with it later, they did not dare to underestimate its warning.
It barked very quickly, with a suppressed growl in its mouth, and was pointed in the direction of the water tower. This scene reminded Yan Yueming of the time when Dahuang barked at the moon in the small mountain village.
After resting for most of the day, Li Heping and Dong Xiaoyin both recovered a lot. Everyone woke up from their sleep and gathered in the hall again. Li Heping made a quick decision: "We must leave the orange-red town immediately."
Dong Xiaoyin nodded in agreement. If only people from their search and rescue department were there, they would definitely have to risk staying a while to explore the changes in the orange-red town, but now there are ordinary people here, and protecting their lives is the priority.
"You still have nearly 50 million in room fees that you haven't spent, right?" Dong Xiaoyin looked at Cao Yu.
Cao Yu nodded quickly, with a somewhat anxious look on his face. If he wants to find a way to leave now, what should he do? He couldn't get everyone to stay with him. Yan Yueming was also worried, but when he saw the orange-red uniform on Dong Xiaoyin and the serious but not nervous expressions of the seniors and teachers, he did not interrupt.
"This is for you." Dong Xiaoyin solemnly took out a silver coin from her inner pocket. At a rough glance, the shape of the metal piece looks like the game coins in the arcade. It is engraved with golden patterns and vaguely resembles the shape of a sheep.
sheep?
Yan Yueming suddenly had an idea, "Sheep and Yang Game Hall?"
Dong Xiaoyin was a little surprised that he actually knew about the game arcade, but when he thought that he was from Huayuan Road, he was not surprised anymore, "That's right. The Yangyang Game Hall is another gap. This game coin is the highest-level play pass, and the value is It’s not cheap. It also belongs to the things in the cracks, and it is hard currency that can be circulated in the cracks. Take it with the mayor’s warrant and give it to the old man at the front desk, and it should be able to deduct the remaining 50 million.”
Zhong Chun leaned against the door with his arms folded and whistled, "As expected of the Search and Rescue Department, the savior in the cracks, and his family is rich."
The four team members behind Dong Xiaoyin frowned slightly and said: "Every one of these things is hard-earned. We only have this one, and it will be gone once we use it."
Cao Yu was not some careless second-generation rich man. Seeing that they were obviously unwilling to deal with him, he quickly said: "Then let me use this, okay? If it's too precious..."
"The Search and Rescue Department is focused on saving people. No matter what items are available, nothing is as important as human life." Dong Xiaoyin interrupted him and quickly arranged the check-out matters.
Zhongchun shrugged and said no more.
The mayor's warrant is in Li Zheng's hand. Except for Cao Yu, everyone has spent almost all their money on the room, so it is not difficult to check out. But because Cao Yu had written an SOS distress signal with banknotes and sent it out, the money was not spent. In theory, the money flew out and the debt was still on his head.
Wen Renjing: "We must have an accurate amount."
"You are responsible." Li Heping knew that Wen Renjing's young apprentice was good at calculations, so since he proposed it, he gave him this task. In addition to checking out, there is another very important thing, and that is the exit.
February again
degree opening(),
“(),
We came from that bridge, and if we go out from the bridge, we will not be able to get out. It will be like a ghost beating a wall, and we will eventually have to return to the town. Where are the seniors? "
Li Heping: "We climbed up from the river under the bridge. Even if we can return the same way, it will lead to the wind and snow field, which is not feasible."
At this moment, dogs barked again outside, one after another, cursing and implying urgency.
Yan Yueming ran out quickly and saw Dahuang grinning in the direction of the water tower under the cold moonlight. And shouts like work chants came from the distance. Needless to say, it was the movement in the persimmon forest.
"Boom--" The water tower collapsed and the ground shook.
Yan Yueming will probably always remember this night. The dry persimmon trees were cut down and used as torches, and then piled into bonfires, lighting up the night of the orange-red town. With a loud bang, the townspeople toppled the water tower, sending dust flying.
He didn't know how big a project it would be to overturn a water tower like that in real life, but here, he saw everything with his own eyes.
The whole process felt like the fast-forward button had been pressed, a story that took place in some kind of fantasy movie. The townspeople were working enthusiastically, and everyone was injected with something called "vitality." But behind the excited and cheering faces, there was a weird feeling that couldn't be suppressed.
The hair on Rhubarb's back is about to explode.
"Damn it, it's really broken..."
"Oh my god..."
Hu Jiajia and Qu Gang also ran out. Just now in the room, they couldn't say anything, and they didn't dare to talk casually, but now they couldn't help it when they saw this scene. And when the cold moonlight shone on her body, although it was not as creepy as the feeling of being stared at, it was still a bit penetrating.
Dong Xiaoyin immediately turned around and warned: "Speed up and prepare to evacuate."
On the other side, Yan Yueming comforted Dahuang, while Zhongchun took off the sunglasses he had worn all day, and the joke on his face subsided slightly. Unexpectedly, she met Li Zheng's gaze, and the two faced off silently.
"Tsk." Zhong Chun put on his sunglasses again, "It's not that I'm stingy. My small business is neither as selfless as your search and rescue department, nor as cool as your boss Li, who treats money like dirt. With my little wealth, I can't compare to it. They all paid for it with their lives, and there’s no pension to protect them, don’t you think so?”
She looked at her team members. Of course, the team members followed her and responded.
Li Zheng: "Exchange of equal value is understandable. If you have any requests, just ask."
"Boss Li is still open-minded." Zhongchun glanced at everyone, "I have a way to leave, but the reward..."
Cao Yu noticed the movement here and his ears were already on edge. As soon as he heard the word "reward", he stood up immediately and tried hard to straighten his back with a cane. "Don't worry, everyone, as long as we can leave safely, I can bear the reward. The Cao family is in Shangfang City, so this is a good reputation." There are still some.”
Zhongchun asked: "The reputation of the Cao family is indeed good, but can you make the decision?"
Cao Yu said resolutely: "Yes. My dad said that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, so - money must not be a problem."
Zhongchun looked him up and down, and it was at this moment that she finally saw a trace of the Cao family in this unfortunate Xiaoyu. Since she wanted to do business, she stopped talking nonsense, "If it's just an ordinary entrance and exit,
() I will just take you there, and I will never ask you for any conditions, but just like the game currency that Captain Dong took out just now, the key is precious
It’s expensive. I only have one, and I will never use it until a critical moment. "
key? What key?
Amid everyone's doubts, Li Zheng explained, "The key that opens the door to formlessness. The secret key that allows people to return directly to the real world through the gap."
Yan Yueming was stunned, the secret key to go back directly? Is there such a treasure in the gap? And the name "Phaseless Gate"... He wanted to ask curiously, but at this time, there was another earthquake under his feet.
The earth is shaking.
"Start digging the well," Li Zheng said.
"This movement is not small..." Zhongchun narrowed his eyes, "What do you think is underground in the orange town? Is it something buried, or is it connected to somewhere?"
"You are interested in?"
"Ah."
You, a flower gardener in a wild land, don't try to seduce me again. You want to die but I don't want to die yet. Zhongchun didn't want to talk to Li Zheng anymore. She even used her biggest life-saving trump card. Even though she got Cao Yu's promise, she still felt heartbroken. After all, it is something that can really save lives, and its value cannot be measured by money alone.
Use it today...
Look, the young masters from the Search and Rescue Department, Huayuan Road, and Chengfang Group are all here. It won't hurt to use them. Most importantly, the changes in the orange-red town are truly worrying. Even though Zhongchun was experienced and had even been to Hudi, the premonition this time was - very bad.
Earthquakes came one after another.
Like an earthquake.
"Woof! Woof woof!" Dahuang became even more anxious. He barked several times in the direction of the persimmon forest, and then turned back and shouted several times at Yan Yueming, as if scolding: Why are you so lazy?
Even reincarnation can't catch up with triper.
Fortunately, at this time, Wen Renjing finally settled the room fee. Everyone gathered at the front desk and checked out in an orderly manner under the arrangements of the four team members.
The first one in line was Cao Yu. Following the method Dong Xiaoyin taught him, he nervously pushed out the game coins and the mayor's warrant at the same time. He took a deep breath and said, "I want to check out. Use this coin." The game currency will offset my remaining 48,963,560 yuan in room expenses."
The old man raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you sure?"
Cao Yu nodded, "OK."
The old man picked up the game coin and looked closely at it under the light. His fingertips rubbed the pattern on the game coin. His cloudy eyes kept scanning Cao Yu. Finally, he nodded, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he took out the registration book, found Cao Yu's name, and wrote "Checked out" at the back. Cao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and so did everyone else.
Yan Yueming also went over to line up. He saw the little crew chief and the middle-aged man who were locked up coming out. The boy with a flat head behaved very honestly, with a low eyebrow, but the middle-aged man was still in a state of despair, as if he had not yet recovered from the pain of losing his wife.
Hu Jiajia and Qu Gang both looked at him sympathetically and felt deeply in their hearts. Yan Yueming suddenly felt a little strange. He didn't know what was wrong, but he just felt like he had overlooked something.
etc.
"Senior." Yan Yueming lowered his voice and quietly asked Wen Renjing, "The body can be taken out, right? I have been to the funeral parlor, and I met Captain Yan there last time. He had teammates who were cremated there. "
Wen Renjing was slightly startled, and then replied in a low voice: "Sometimes it is possible, sometimes it is not, it depends on the condition of the body. Some people have been too deeply affected by the gap when they died, and their bodies have undergone some... irreversible changes, so they are not suitable. Taken out. Why do you suddenly ask this? ()"
“?[(()”
Wen Renjing rolled his eyes, winked at Yan Yueming, and then went to whisper a few words to Dong Xiaoyin. After a while, he came back and told Yan Yueming: "I didn't say I wouldn't let him take it. In other words, he didn't ask."
Yan Yueming suddenly felt complicated.
Love...
Yan Yueming hasn't really experienced it yet, so he can't talk about understanding it, let alone understanding it. He just couldn't bear it, so he asked softly: "Then... what should I do?"
Wen Renjing: "Don't worry, sister Yinyin will bring them back. And the teammates who died in the snowy field, if there is a chance, they will also find a way to bring them back."
Dahuang: "Wow."
Wen Renjing couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch him, "Dahuang, do you understand?"
Dahuang shook his head, raising his noble head and not wanting to pay attention to him. Zhong Chun, who was on the side, leaned against the gate and took in everyone's performance, but still glanced outside from the corner of his eye.
In the distant persimmon forest, the work of digging wells is still in full swing.
The earthquakes became more and more frequent, and the huge movement was like the townspeople digging into the ground with a shovel. It was like the pulse of the earth beating, making people tremble with fear. The harder the beating, the more nervous the person becomes, and eventually it feels like they are being strangled by the neck, making it difficult to even breathe.
"Da Fei, close the door."
After finishing his words, Zhongchun pulled out a necklace from his clothes. It was a black key hanging with a red rope. It was simple and small in shape. It looked like it didn't match the keyhole of the door. But when I inserted it into the keyhole in mid-spring, it actually fit perfectly.
Zhongchun did not try to be mysterious. He turned the key and opened the door in one go.
With a "squeak", the door reopened, and the fresh air that was different from the orange-red town rushed in instantly, which shocked people. Dong Xiaoyin was also unambiguous and cooperated with Zhong Chun in a tacit understanding and immediately arranged for evacuation.
The wounded must be the first to go. Members of the four teams escorted them to leave first, including Li Heping. Yan Yueming saw that the body of a middle-aged woman was also carried out and wrapped in cloth. It was already a little smelly because it had experienced a round of high temperature.
The stink attracted everyone's attention. The middle-aged man's face stiffened for a moment, he looked around, gritted his teeth, and walked over quickly, "I'll do it."
No one said anything about it.
Yan Yueming maintained a slightly complicated mood and walked out of the door with Wen Renjing. The moment he stepped in, he subconsciously searched for the senior's figure, but saw that he was still standing by the pillar in the hall, not taking a step forward.
"Senior?" Yan Yueming paused slightly, feeling inexplicably nervous.
He wanted to go back, but the advancing team would not stop, and even took him a step toward the door. One step away is the door inside and outside.
Zhongchun stood three steps away from Li Zheng with his arms folded, and the two of them fell behind like door gods.
"Senior? Boss Zhong?!" Yan Yueming shouted.
In an instant, the ground shook.
Yan Yueming only felt his whole body swaying, and everyone supported each other to prevent him from falling. But as soon as the flowers bloom in front of my eyes, the scenery has changed drastically. When I look up again, there is no gate or orange-red town. !
