Zombies take me as air

Chapter 198 Notification
The convoy headed out of the city, taking a route that Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei hadn't taken.

Kong Qi saw a road sign with the place name of 'Hongjiang City'. It would take four hours to drive from the provincial capital to Hongjiang City before the disaster.

After the disaster, many roads were blocked, and unattended scrapped cars blocked the roads, making it difficult to walk so fast.

Kong Qi did not expect that there was a tiankeng so close to them.

They set off at 07:30 in the morning, and it was already noon when they arrived in Hongjiang City. The team camped and cooked first, and then started exploring the pit after lunch.

Brother Long's subordinates did all the camping and cooking. Lu Xiangbei went around the edge of the tiankeng. He wanted Kong Qi to take a look around and show her the environment.

The tiankeng in Hongjiang City is much smaller than the ones they saw last time.

At least you can see the end at a glance, and it won't give people the feeling of boundlessness.

But looking down from above, it is still bottomless, like an abyss.

After lunch, the pit exploration team inspected the equipment, and Brother Long's men even drove a crane to stop by the pit.

Lu Xiangbei and the others went down to find 'energy', packed it up and lifted it up by a crane.

It can be seen that this is not the first time Long Ge has come to the Tiankeng, he knows how deep the pit is, and he is well prepared.

The length of the steel cable of the crane is just enough to lower to the bottom of the pit, and Long Ge's people also installed a lift for people to ride on the edge of the pit.

If it's just the next time, there's no need to be so laborious. This time Lu Xiangbei led a team of nine people, and 92 people participated in the physical training.

Obviously, Brother Long is ready to try many times.

They set up marching tents and quickly built a 'command headquarters'.

Lu Xiangbei called his team members to assemble, reiterated some precautions when going down to the pit, and asked them to check their equipment to make sure nothing was missing, and then took the elevator down to the pit.

Kong Qi lay on Lu Xiangbei's back, she and the blue space descended together with Lu Xiangbei.

Since the scope of this tiankeng is relatively small, it does not give people a strong sense of oppression. When taking the elevator, everyone did not have the illusion of entering a void space.

They knew that they were in a huge pit, but the pit was too deep, and there was endless darkness under their feet, so they were inevitably a little nervous.

The lights on the hanging cage were the only source of light in the pit, and the people above watched them fall, like a spark falling into the abyss.

When the elevator touched the bottom and stopped, Lu Xiangbei opened the guardrail door, but no one dared to step out first.

Lu Xiangbei was the leader of the team, and he was the first to get off the elevator cage.

They wore mining hats on their heads, Lu Xiangbei turned on the mining lamp on the hat, and the people behind saw him go out, and then stepped out of the cage one after another.

The team members also turned on the miner's lamp above their heads, and several beams of light shone into the darkness. Lu Xiangbei took out the walkie-talkie, but there was only rustling noise in the microphone, and it was impossible to talk to the ground at all.

Kong Qi remembered that the last time Lu Xiangbei explored the pit, she didn't hear Lu Xiangbei whistle, but Lu Xiangbei said he had blown the whistle.

The reason why the sound cannot be transmitted has not been understood until today. Not only the sound cannot be transmitted, even the signal of the walkie-talkie cannot be connected.

She had to believe that there was indeed a strong energy field at the bottom of the pit, but what exactly was the disturbance?

Lu Xiangbei told the team members to pay attention to safety. The nine people were silent when they were up there, but when they got here, they began to discuss in a low voice.

What you dare not say on the ground, you can say it in the deep pit.

It turned out that they didn't completely trust Brother Long, but they had no choice but dared not raise objections to Brother Long's decision.

They are not stupid, why don't they know that Brother Long sent them here to give away their heads?

In their team, there is not a single subordinate of Brother Long. Doesn't Brother Long want to send someone he trusts to supervise the work?
The answer is of course yes, so why not send?

People who are afraid of death, those who are afraid of death are his 'brothers'.

The reason why they are not given weapons is not because weapons are scarce, but because they are afraid that they will rebel or run away with weapons.

Among the nine people, four thought so, and the other five believed in the cake that Brother Long drew last night.

The nine people were divided into two factions, and finally all eyes fell on Lu Xiangbei.

They were not in a hurry to explore the distance, but wanted to unify their opinions first. Lu Xiangbei was the team leader, and they wanted to know his opinion on this operation.

Lu Xiangbei led them to train for a month, and they saw that he was a strong man with strength. They knew in their hearts that with their little ability, they would probably end up in danger underground.

At this time, Lu Xiangbei's thoughts became very important. They wanted to know whether Lu Xiangbei would lead them to escape if they were in danger.

Lu Xiangbei thought about it and decided to tell them the truth here.

"You can't run away." Lu Xiangbei looked serious.

"Why?" Someone in the team immediately asked.

"Our three meals a day were all mixed with drugs. That's why Brother Long didn't send his people to follow. He knew we couldn't run away, and would go back if we did."

"what?"

"we've already……"

"you sure?"

The team members had different expressions, but as long as they thought about it a little, they could figure out that Lu Xiangbei was not lying.

Survivors struggled to survive after the disaster, and it was common for them to suffer from ailments. Since they joined Brother Long’s team, their ailments have been significantly relieved. For those suffering from rheumatic bone disease, the symptoms of joint pain have also been significantly relieved.

They joined the team twice as long as Lu Xiangbei, and they didn't eat three meals a day, so naturally they didn't feel any difference, but once they stopped...

This is the end of the world, there are no hospitals and (drug) rehabilitation centers, they leave Brother Long's team, they can't even find food, and the end can only be death.

"I didn't say it above because I was afraid that you would be too obvious and he would see something strange. If he felt that you were out of control, he might not keep you alive." Lu Xiangbei explained.

"Then what should we do? Left and right are dead, is there no way out?"

"Brother Lu, show us the way!"

"Yes, we listen to you."

"We're in the same boat, let's figure out a way."

The others echoed, thinking that Lu Xiangbei was also a victim of drugs.

Lu Xiangbei couldn't explain this to them because it involved Kong Qi's space.

He couldn't tell Kong Qi's secret, and besides, he was indeed on the same boat with these people. He wanted to find out what the energy source at the bottom of the pit was. The team members were passive and he was active, but the goal was the same.

"Brother Long must have sent someone down, don't be fooled, it will be difficult for us to get up if we don't transport something, so let's discuss this after closing this matter." Lu Xiangbei reminded them from the reality.

Even if they want to discuss the escape plan, they have to go through this level first.

There are no other passages at the bottom of the pit, and there is only one elevator up and down. The control is in the hands of Brother Long, and they can't do much at the bottom of the pit.
