Hardcore crisis

Seeing Lao Cai leading everyone back the same way, Fatty looked back and said solemnly: "From now on, everyone must listen to my instructions and orders, and don't act alone at will... If you don't want to listen to my orders, then you still have to leave now. It won’t be too late, I don’t want anything I don’t want to see happen again because some people don’t obey orders.”

Everyone remained silent, obviously acquiescing to Fatty's leadership.

"Alright, although the chance of searching separately is higher, in order to avoid trouble and accidents, everyone must work together to take care of each other during the search. I have only one request for you, and that is not to leave the team without permission!"

At the last sentence, the fat man's face showed an unprecedented solemnity. In this dark night, if someone leaves the team without authorization, whether they get lost or have other accidents, the risk will be greatly increased. Before that, he had to speak clearly and get vaccinated in advance, just to prevent some people from suddenly having a brain cramp and leaving the team without even saying hello.

While searching for Liu Xinran's traces and shouting her name loudly, the group of five people not only searched the places they had searched before again, but also carefully investigated the places they had roughly searched.

However, although the mine is large, many places are extremely empty. You can see the bottom at a glance, and it is impossible to hide anyone no matter how you look. But this time the search was still in vain.

By this time, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, the sun had set over the mountain, dusk had begun to fade, and the sky was gray. It was estimated that in five or six minutes, the real night would come.

"It's getting late, Han Lichen, don't worry, Liu Xinran will definitely be fine... Let's rest for a while and wait for the rescue force to arrive."

If everything goes well, Fatty estimates that Lao Cai and his people will soon arrive at the camp.

"But……"

Han Lichen was the one shouting the loudest among the people present, and he was also the one who tried his best to search for him. He was physically exhausted, and he was a little wobbly when he walked. It made people worry that he would fall down in the next second.

Not finding his girlfriend was such a huge blow to Han Lichen. The obsession in his heart made him unable to give up. Even if his physical strength reached the limit, he did not want to give up and wait.

"Xin Ran must be waiting for me to save her..."

Muttering to himself, Han Lichen ignored the fat man's persuasion, turned around and stepped forward to prepare for another search.

"Wait a moment."

Liang Kexin seemed to suddenly remember something: "We still have a place we haven't looked for."

"Is there another place?"

The fat man was stunned, and even Han Lichen, who turned around and walked a few steps, stopped.

"Yes, do you remember the entrance to the mine next to that building?"

Seemingly confirming her thoughts, Liang Kexin was no longer as confused as before, and her tone became more certain: "That's the only place that hasn't been searched."

When she said this, the others remembered that they had indeed not entered there to search, but the fat man had already expected it. When he heard Liang Kexin's words, his expression suddenly changed: "No, you can't go in!"

"Why, isn't it the only place that hasn't been searched?"

"Do you know how dangerous it is down there in the mines?"

Fatty absolutely agrees with Liang Kexin's idea: "Besides, it is a mine that has been abandoned all year round. It is too dangerous. I don't agree to go in to search... If we want to search, we have to wait until professional search and rescue personnel arrive and let them go in with professional equipment."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fat man finished speaking, Han Lichen sneered a few times and without saying a word, he rushed towards the distance, towards the entrance of the mine.

"Han Lichen! Stop!"

Angry and anxious, the fat man stretched out his hand to catch Han Lichen, but there was someone faster than him. Liang Kexin actually ran after him, with the obvious intention of following Han Lichen into the mine.

Liang Kexin started running. The fat man could think with his heels that Xu Shengjian and Wang Wei would definitely follow closely. The four adults present did not obey his orders and acted arbitrarily. How could he stop him?

"You, all of you, stop!"

The fat man, who always faced everyone with a smile, suddenly became angry, which was even more terrifying than the anger of an honest person. Unfortunately, it was of no use. All the young people running were faster than rabbits. He stood there and got angry, and the people in front ignored him. It was really a waste of effort for the blind man to see.

"...Damn it, I won't do this job anymore."

It’s so frustrating. It’s so frustrating to be a nanny for a group of young people who don’t know the world. No matter how nice it is, at the critical moment, all kinds of problems always arise. Although he was furious, Fatty had no choice but to speed up and chase after them. He was really afraid of what kind of trouble he would cause if he wasn't with these people.

"Stop running, I'll go with you."

"Really?" Liang Kexin stopped. She was a woman and her physical strength was inherently weak. She was a little out of breath after running a certain distance.

"..."

The fat man glared at her fiercely, took out the flashlight from his backpack and handed it to her.

Each one of them didn't even have a flashlight, and they actually tried to go deep into the mine. They were really mentally ill. The sad thing was that he had to take care of these bastards.

Seeing that Fatty really had no intention of stopping them, Han Lichen and Xu Shengjian also stopped.

"Follow me and don't wander around. The situation inside is very complicated."

Sighing, the helpless fat man took the flashlight and walked in front. After all this farce, the sky was completely dark, without the pollution from the city's neon lights. If the stars in the sky were dimmer, it would be really hard to see.

When I look outside towards the entrance of the mine during the day, I feel that it is completely dark. Looking at it again at night, it is really like the entrance to hell, swallowing up all the light that comes close. It is dark and dark. Even if you shine a flashlight, you can't see anything more than ten meters away.

Seeing such a situation, not to mention the girl Liang Kexin, Xu Shengjian and Wang Wei who were following behind also felt a little frightened and secretly regretted following them. However, since Liang Kexin insisted on going in, it seemed that they had no choice but to follow.

A group of five people stepped in with different thoughts. Several flashlights were fired around the four walls. They were all ferocious and uneven stone walls, covered with traces of various excavations. The steel rails laid on the ground were rusty and stained. The vehicles transporting ore are also unattended and parked silently on the tracks.

"I don't know if anyone died in this mine. It feels a bit eerie."

Just as everyone was moving forward in silence, perhaps to break the awkward silence, Wang Wei touched the back of his head and told a not-so-funny joke.

Under the premise that Liu Xinran was missing, no one could accept such a joke, and no one paid any attention to Wang Wei. He could only smile to himself in embarrassment, and no one could see him in this dark place.

"Hey, did you hear anything?"

Xu Shengjian looked strange, waved his hand and grabbed Liang Kexin's sleeve, making her stop.

"What are you doing?" Liang Kexin turned around impatiently.

"No, Kexin, there are really strange sounds."

"Strange noise? I think your brain is dizzy?"

Wang Wei will not miss any opportunity to mock Xu Shengjian.

"You're just dizzy. I'm not lying." Xu Shengjian choked back.

"Who knows that someone is not a liar? Why are you pretending to be innocent here?"

Wang Wei dismissed it.

"you……"

"Okay, don't argue anymore. Xu Shengjian is right, there is indeed a voice."

The fat man waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two.

Is there really a sound?

One person can still say that he heard it wrong, but if Fatty, the leader of the group, heard it, then there might really be a sound.

"Don't panic, everyone, slow down your pace and pass slowly."

Compared with the panic of several people, Fatty always remained calm, walking in front and slowing down, listening quietly to the sounds coming from the front.

"Didi..."

Even though they were far away, they couldn't hear clearly. As they got deeper into the mine tunnel, the sound became more and more obvious. Even Wang Wei stopped talking. Xu Shengjian didn't lie.

"Huhu...it turns out to be the sound of water dripping."

The fat man at the front suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and pointed the flashlight at the stone wall next to him. However, groundwater seeped in, and small water droplets fell on the rails, causing abnormal noises in the hollow mine tunnel. .
