After eating and drinking, and resting for a while, everyone's physical strength has recovered a lot. After briefly cleaning up the traces, except for Yan, the others walked in the direction outside.
In such a long and narrow mine tunnel, blasting is no joke. Seeing Yan carrying explosives and fuses to the collapsed rubble ahead and tinkering with it, Chen Tao felt flustered for no reason. He knew in his heart that if something went wrong, everyone would die here, including himself.
"That person, is he reliable?" Chen Tao turned back and looked at Boss Zhang.
"Oh, young man, what does it mean to be reliable? You removed that word for me!" Boss Zhang waved his hand and said:
"I, Zhang Furong, can't be wrong when it comes to people! Although Yan Zai is young, his abilities are stronger than all of you. I dare say that no one here knows more about explosives than him!"
Boss Zhang looked proud, as if he was bragging about a treasure he had picked up. Looking at his big face, Chen Tao felt even more unsure.
"Sure enough, relying on outsiders can't do it. Alas, let's just leave it to fate!"
Shaking his head, Chen Tao looked nervously at the still blurry and shaking light spot in front of him. For safety reasons, everyone retreated several hundred meters.
I don’t know whether it was because the fuse was not long enough or because Yan was really confident in his blasting skills. The explosives were detonated before anyone could see him approaching.
There was no scene of flying gravel and sparks as he imagined. Chen Tao only felt his ears buzzing. In this long and narrow tunnel, the explosion sound is transmitted like a one-way sound tube, just like putting your ear against the big trumpet tube of a suona. Even if it is hundreds of meters away, it will still vibrate in people's ears. It hurts.
Then came the prolonged tinnitus. It took a while for Chen Tao to react. Looking up, he saw Yan's face wearing a gas mask not far ahead.
"How about it, my craftsmanship is pretty good, sir!" It seemed that he was very satisfied with the effect of the explosion.
After the flying dust had almost dispersed and they saw that the rock formation had not collapsed again, everyone cautiously walked forward. Yan walked behind the crowd shaking his arms and jokingly said:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you still don't believe me, look at how cowardly you are!"
Haozi, who had already disliked him before, heard this, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and was about to retaliate, but Uncle Long waved his hand at him and said:
"I won't make fun of anyone's life. No matter how powerful you are, you can't guarantee that it will be absolutely foolproof."
"Tch..." Yan shrugged disapprovingly and walked on by himself.
Seeing him like that, Chen Tao and others ignored him. The group of people carefully returned to the place where the explosion occurred.
"I'll go!" Seeing the situation in front of him, Chen Tao couldn't help but smacked his lips.
The pile of rubble here has been blasted open, exposing a large area of rock formations below. I have to say that although this Yan is arrogant, he still has a few brushes. In the special environment of the mine tunnel, and deep underground, his handling of explosives was just right. From this point of view, he does have his own arrogant capital.
After moving away a few large pieces of gravel that blocked the road, everyone came to the innermost rock pit with a relatively large exposed area. This was the core of the pile of gravel.
It didn't turn into a mess like a hornet's nest, but you could see small black insects crawling in and out of the cracks in the ground. Bugs are very small, the largest being no more than the size of a ladybug.
The air was filled with a strong smell of burning gunpowder. Most of those bloodthirsty black insects should have been killed during the explosion, leaving no residue. Moreover, they were not much bigger than the residue.
Holding a flashlight, Yang Lixuan looked at the cracks in the ground, then raised his head to look around and above his head, and said:
"Sure enough, they want to explode this layer of black crystal stone..."
"It can be seen that the thickness of the black crystal stone underneath should be quite large. That time, it failed to explode all at once, but it caused even more terrible consequences." Uncle Long looked at the large and small broken pieces on the ground. Stone path.
"Then, how are we going to go down and continue to explode?" Uncle Wang glanced at Uncle Long and asked.
"How are you? Are you sure?" Uncle Long looked at Yan.
Yan walked forward swaggeringly, held up a flashlight and looked at the cracks on the ground for a while and said:
"Hey, the progress of the times is so good! In the past, there might not have been anything you could do, but now, little kiss!"
Yan shrugged, took off his backpack from his back and fiddled with something, then stopped and looked at the crowd and said:
"Why are you still standing there? Retreat!" Only then did everyone react and retreated to their previous positions again, looking at the shaking light spot in front of them.
As always, Yan detonated the explosive halfway through. Based on the experience last time, this time Chen Tao covered his ears tightly and opened his mouth as wide as possible.
Buzz…
Unexpectedly, the noise this time was much quieter than before. Just when he thought it was over, there was a cracking sound of rock formations cracking in front of him, and then, the sound of rocks collapsing and breaking came in his ears. Everyone's face was shocked, and the crowd at the end Boss Zhang jumped up immediately, twisted his butt, turned around and ran back.
"I'm going to punch your lungs out! You're going to die, run away!"
Seeing this, Chen Tao and others also wanted to retreat, but were stopped by Yan. At this time, his expression was also a little surprised, but it was different from the others.
"Why, do you want to kill us big guys!" Haozi said angrily immediately.
"No, this sound is wrong!" Yan ignored Haozi's roar and waved his hands towards the crowd, frowning and half-squinting his eyes, tilting his head and listening carefully.
"Do whatever you want, this place is about to collapse, let's evacuate quickly!" the mountain ghost yelled.
"Tch, look at how cowardly you are, don't worry, it won't collapse!" Yan glanced at the crowd and said.
"He's right. Listen, the cracking sound has stopped." Yang Lixuan said.
Everyone listened carefully, and sure enough, apart from the occasional crashing sound of a few small gravels rolling down, there was nothing else. It seems that the large-scale rock formation shattering just happened just in an instant.
"Oh, I said it's okay. I'm really speechless." Yan frowned and looked at the people in front of him, showing some impatience with Chen Tao and others' distrust of him.
"No, I have to go back and take a look. There was something wrong with the sound just now. It was not the sound of a normal explosion." Yan ignored it, said a word, and turned around to go back.
"This..." Chen Tao and others looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
"Then Hongmao is dying?" Haozi asked aloud.
"No, I think he should know very well what will happen after the explosion, so he is not worried at all about whether he will be in danger." Chen Tao looked at Haozi and said.
"However, at least I can be sure that it is safe now. I don't know what's going on ahead, so I'll go over and have a look." Yang Lixuan glanced at everyone, then turned and walked towards the depths of the cave.
"This Yan, although he looks arrogant, is also a capable person. Zhang Furong is very good at recruiting talents!" Uncle Long said, looking at Brother Acheng behind him. The two people behind didn't say anything, they just looked at Uncle Long and smiled.
"Then... how about we go over and have a look?" Chen Tao suggested. Since there is no danger, there is nothing to worry about. Seeing Yan and Yang Lixuan walking over, Chen Tao couldn't help but become curious.
"Well, that's fine, let's go. Everyone, follow and pay attention to safety. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately!"
After looking at each other with Uncle Wang, Uncle Long said. Uncle Long and Uncle Wang seem to have a tacit understanding. From the beginning to now, the two have not had much dialogue. Most of the time, they only communicate with one eye or movement, and the other party can fully understand what the other person wants to convey. This is Chen Tao was very surprised.
Uncle Long took the lead and walked deeper. Chen Taohaozi and others quickly followed. Behind him, the soldier brother Acheng stood there, looking at each other and hesitated for a while. When he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice behind him. ringing,
"Oh, I'm so exhausted! I said you guys are rushing into the street, are you even risking your lives? You are still standing here! You made me run out and come back to find you. You are really heartless!"
Listening to his words, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"MD, you have no conscience? What do you mean we have no conscience? You obviously saw that the situation was not good, so you greased your feet and ran away without even caring about the people you brought with you. How dare you blame us?"
Chen Tao despised the short fat man in the floral shirt in front of him. Thinking of what happened to Hao Zi before, he couldn't help but greet the female members of his family.
Seeing that no one said anything, Boss Zhang slowly walked closer and squatted down against a stone wall.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted. What are you doing here? Where is Yan Zai?"
"Boss Zhang, you ran very fast. When I turned around, no one was there. I thought you were hit and picked up by some wild cat or dog! No, we were about to rescue you! "Haozi teased.
Boss Zhang's thumbs-up gesture to Yan was also noticed by Haozi, so he was no longer as polite to him as before. Having been talking to Chen Tao since childhood, Hao Zi's ability to harm others is much better than Chen Tao's.
"Oh, you young man, what you say is really unwelcome! Why do you mean I ran away? I obviously told you to leave together! It's you who didn't leave on your own and stood here waiting to die!" Zhang The boss stood up from the ground half panting and pointed at Haozi.
"Hey..." Seeing that Haozi was about to have another attack, Uncle Long waved his hand at him, raised his head and said to Boss Zhang, "It was Yan who asked us to stay. Now, he has gone inside. What do you think? Do you want to go in and take a look together?" ?”
"Huh, young man, don't be too impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil, and it might kill you!" Boss Zhang glanced at Haozi, then turned to Uncle Long and said, "Well, let's go, we'll go there too. Let’s see, maybe some treasures will be exploded, which will make us prosperous.”
Chen Tao and Hao Zi each greeted Boss Zhang's female family members in their hearts, and then followed everyone towards the depths of the mine tunnel.
This time, the scope of the explosion was controlled by Yan to a small area, just the exposed black spar rock formation area. When he reached the center of the explosion, Chen Tao saw a huge hole collapsed in front of him. Yan leaned forward with a Langya flashlight and looked inside. Yang Lixuan was arranging ropes nearby, and it looked like he was getting ready to go down.
After trampling to death a few bloodthirsty black insects that were still flopping on the ground, Chen Tao also came up with a flashlight. After two big explosions, these black insects have been washed away. The original nest was probably blown to pieces, and collapsed into the big hole below along with the rubble.
"I'm just telling you, there's something wrong with that sound, it turns out it's empty down there!" Seeing everyone coming over, Yan looked up and spotted Boss Zhang behind the crowd, curled his lips and said, "Hey, Boss Zhang is back! "
"puff……"
Chen Tao almost couldn't help laughing when he heard that Yan was teasing Boss Zhang. Looking back, I saw Boss Zhang's face turning green and white, and thought to himself: "This Yan is really crazy and won't buy anyone's fault!"
"Um..." Boss Zhang rolled his eyes at Yan speechlessly and asked, "How's it going? What's down there?"
"Well, I don't know yet, but judging from the situation above, it seems to be some kind of building below." Yan took back the flashlight and stood up from the ground.
"building?"
Everyone was shocked, how could there be a building in such a place? Could it be that we arrived at the tomb so quickly?
Seeing everyone's thoughts, Yang Lixuan threw the arranged rope down the hole and said:
"It's not a tomb, it's another building. From here you can see the concrete exterior wall below. It's a modern building."
"What!"
Everyone was shocked again,
"Modern buildings?" Uncle Long said with a surprised look on his face: "How is that possible? Who would build a building in a place like this?"
The mountain ghost took out a cold pyrotechnic from his backpack and threw it down. After a moment, he heard a snap and the cold pyrotechnics fell to the ground.
"It turns out this cave isn't very high!" said the mountain ghost.
Everyone looked down and saw Leng Yanhuo lying on the ground less than ten meters deep, glowing with white light. By the light of Leng Yanhuo, everyone saw the thick cement walls on both sides. There was a deep passage in front and back, which led to nowhere. And this large collapsed hole happened to be on a side roof not far from the wall.
"We have tested it just now. There should be no danger down there, and the air is normal. I'll go down first and you can follow."
After saying that, Yang Lixuan grabbed the rope and pulled it hard a few times. After making sure that the rope was strong and correct, he turned around and jumped off. Yan put the flashlight in his mouth, bit it, and followed suit.
After a while, I saw the light of the flashlight below flickering a few times, which was Yan's signal.
Shan Gui jumped down first, followed by Brother Ah Cheng and Da Bing. Uncle Wang and Uncle Long looked at each other and followed suit.
"Let's go, let's go down too!" Haozi waved to Chen Tao and Uncle Long, and jumped into the deep hole.
"Hold on to the rope and half-step on the cement wall over there with your feet. You go down first and I'll watch you from above." Uncle Long raised his head at Chen Tao and motioned for him to go first.
This was the first time for Chen Tao to do something like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Taking a deep breath, Chen Tao inserted the flashlight into the side pocket of his backpack. Chen Tao grabbed the rope on the ground, buckled the safety belt around his waist, glanced at Uncle Long, and said:
"Phew, come on!"
As soon as his legs were loosened, he jumped down...
