When Zou Chenggang and the two policemen fell into this passage together, they were not as lucky as Zheng Bajin today. They were all knocked unconscious.
When they woke up, the three of them were scared out of their minds. After calming down, they had differences of opinion.
In the end, no one convinced anyone and they split up to find an exit.
They could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south, but the two policemen headed downhill like Zheng Bajin, while Zou Zhongweng walked uphill. His idea was that the higher he was, the safer he would be, and he might be able to walk directly out of the ground.
However, he was exhausted from walking and still couldn't find the exit. Instead, he found a storage room in the passage, and there was someone guarding it. He didn't know what was in it.
Zou Zhongzheng is also a smart man. When he saw these people from a distance, he knew that the people guarding him in such darkness must not be good people. He did not dare to step forward, but secretly turned back. Once he got here, he could no longer walk away. , lying on the spot waiting for rescue.
He knew that the organization would not abandon him easily, but he did not expect that the person who came to rescue him turned out to be Zheng Bajin, and he also brought an injured person with him.
Hearing that Xiao Li was just a soldier, he had not yet changed his career, he was not an organizational member, and he did not even have an establishment. He suddenly had the idea that if he could escape smoothly this time, he would definitely try to get it from the relevant departments and let him follow him after he retired. mix.
Zheng Bajin asked him: "Is there any news about Li Yin? He seems to have arrived here earlier than you? He has not gone back yet."
"I think he was probably killed." After hearing this, Zou Chenggong felt a little anxious. He didn't expect that he and Li Yin had the same impulse, and were taken away by these people together. He was really careless, and underestimated the enemy's courage. He dared to There was such a huge hole waiting for them in broad daylight.
Zheng Bajin said nothing, waiting for him to continue. Xiao Li couldn't hold his breath and asked: "Besides the two policemen you mentioned, have you seen any other victims? To be honest, my elder brother is also missing, and I came here to find him. .”
Listening to Xiao Li's eager tone, Zou Changsheng was helpless. He shook his head and sighed: "No, I haven't met anyone else, except for a few people guarding the storage room. The enemy we faced this time , were too cunning, so they trapped us in the tunnel, deprived us of food and drink, and left us to fend for ourselves. I think they are mostly in trouble."
In this way, the enemy is really insidious, subduing the enemy without fighting, and really knows how to wait for work.
However, Zheng Bajin never believed that the enemy would starve all these missing people to death.
What he was thinking was that such a long tunnel could not be dug out by ordinary manpower in a short time. There must be something weird about it. Moreover, where did the dug soil go?
If he didn't take care of the two wounded people in front of him, he was sure to find out the weirdness inside and find out the cause.
Looking at this passage, the enemy should have started working on it a year ago. However, the time is not long, no more than five years.
Zou Chenggang sighed and said remorsefully: "As the parent officer of Xiayu Township, I failed to discover such a group of heartless people in time. It was my dereliction of duty. I really feel sorry for everyone's trust and the cultivation of the organization."
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things. Even tigers take a nap. Besides, how can you keep an eye on a place as big as Xiayu Township every day? If you want to blame it, you can only blame Huangli Village and Haizi Village. Village chief, someone went missing and was not reported in time, so that the enemy became bigger and stronger here without realizing it." Zheng Bajin patted Zou Chenggong on the shoulder and said, "The top priority is to find a way to escape and put the enemy away. Report this situation and let the relevant departments handle it in time, otherwise, I don’t know how many more people will be killed?”
Zou Chengzhang nodded, looked at Zheng Bajing and said, "What can you do?"
"Not yet, but as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!" Zheng Bajin said, "By the way, brother Xiao Li, did you notice anything strange here before you went to join the army?"
Xiao Li shook his head, thought for a while and said, "No, when I was a child, I often came to this forest to graze cattle, pick mushrooms, and cut grass, but I never found that the ground was empty."
Zheng Bajin rolled his eyes at him, isn't this going too far? However, it is not surprising that he has been out for five years, and this tunnel was obviously opened within five years.
"You two, can you leave? We have to get out of here first and find an exit as soon as our physical strength allows. Otherwise, we will definitely starve to death."
"It's okay. I have recovered some strength and can walk." Zou Changshang stood up first, and then Xiao Li stood up despite the pain in his leg.
Zheng Bajin led the way, and the two of them followed closely, walking carefully westward together.
The journey went surprisingly smoothly without any obstacles, but I didn't find the person I was looking for.
Xiao Li and Zou Zhongli couldn't hold their breath, thinking that they probably had no way out. Zheng Bajin didn't think so. The two of them couldn't walk very fast. Although it took half an hour, they only walked one kilometer.
He suddenly made up his mind to let the two of them walk slowly. He went forward to investigate. Anyway, there was no one there, so they must not be in any danger.
The two agreed readily. They had long felt that Zheng Bajin was pulling them like this too slowly and might miss the opportunity.
Zheng Bajin handed Xiao Li a dagger he carried with him, saying that if anything happened, the safety of the two of them must be guaranteed, even if it means killing all the enemies. Nothing is more important than surviving on your own first.
Xiao Li nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, as long as I have breath, I will ensure the safety of this dear friend."
After hearing this, Zheng Bajin was overjoyed and said, "Well, then you have to work hard. You have to remember that this is a war. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself."
After saying that, Zheng Bajin quickly walked forward.
…
At this moment, somewhere in the tunnel.
The clothes on the two men's bodies had been turned into strips of cloth. They could no longer walk and crawled forward, but there was only darkness ahead of them.
"Brother, it seems we are going to starve to death here." A man said with great reluctance.
"It's okay, you must hold on. Maybe there will be water or food ahead. Do you still remember the allusion of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst?" Another man said and continued to crawl forward with difficulty. His legs had begun to go numb and he could not help himself. Make an effort.
"Of course I've heard of it." The man smiled bitterly, took out his gun, licked his chapped lips and said, "I've thought about it. If we starve to death like this, we really have no dignity at all. We might as well be ourselves. Get it over with so you don’t have to suffer this kind of sin.”
"No, I won't accept it! We didn't even see the enemy's face, and we died like this. I'm sorry for the country and the task that the people gave us. Even if we can't find the exit, we still have to find the enemy and kill two for fun. Drag two of them as backers, and when our people find us, it will at least prove that we are not cowards, but heroes, and people who have done harm to the people."
"No, what I'm worried about is that after we die, if the enemy finds our guns and commits crimes and kills, we will become accomplices!"
At this point, both of them fell silent, as if this was really a problem. If the person is with the gun, but the gun is not there is the biggest dereliction of duty, and it is an unforgivable thing.
