Erosion

The former living base was still full of human touch and vitality. Every time the Beijing-Hong Kong Guards brought back newly rescued people, they would cause a burst of cheers.

And these rescued survivors will tell the story of their rescue. Some people have compiled these search and rescue stories into a booklet and circulated it in the living base.

Among them, Zhang Zheng had seen some very bizarre ones, and the incident in the cellar left a deep impression on him.

Zhao Ying forced a smile: "So you want to say that the underground is actually safer?" Unexpectedly, the careless Zhang Zheng also learned to comfort people.

Zhang Zheng shrugged and said with a smile: "Maybe."

Wei Yuan said at this time: "The deeper you go underground, the older the soil layer becomes. It is possible."

The earth is originally round. There was once a science fiction novel that imagined a journey to the center of the earth. The total area of ​​​​the interior of the earth is much larger than the surface.

Zhao Ying was actually a little pessimistic. Only ten meters away she felt that she was already in the center of the earth. The feeling of oppression and constriction made her very uncomfortable.

The ground was very uneven, and Wei Yuan's wheelchair smashed into bones on the ground. Wei Yuan himself must have felt uncomfortable. But now I can only bear it.

Ten meters is a critical number. Anyone who has studied geology knows that in ancient times, water could be seen in manually dug wells about ten meters away. Unless you happen to be digging on a water vein, you need to be able to see water at least four to five meters away.

"Look at these cave walls, they are too bumpy." Walking through them gave people a particularly rough and sad feeling. They walked fairly well, but when Wei Yuan's wheelchair passed by, he was in a mess. The wheelchair ran over a raised slope and splashed dirt all over.

Zhao Ying and Zhang Zheng naturally couldn't bear to see him look so shabby, but Wei Yuan waved his hand: "Ahem, don't worry about me. You follow the big army."

The mercenary led by Bai Jin was walking ahead with his head down. It was obvious from his appearance that he had no intention of treating the four members of Wei Yuan's team as his companions. Even when he saw that they were left behind, he showed no sign of helping or waiting.

But when he heard the sound of Wei Yuan being splashed with soil behind him, he sneered: "This is a water channel dug by hand. It is impossible to expect it to be as precise as a machine."

Zhang Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense, let alone chase any large troops. He went directly to the back to help Wei Yuan push the wheelchair.

Zhao Ying held Jiang Shan firmly in front. She had to turn sideways to pass many places. At this time, she had to manually help Jiang Shan get into position. The way their team of four looked after each other was pitiful and unusual in Bai Jin's eyes.

This was just the beginning, but he had already lost interest in Wei Yuan's team. Only the weak will tie each other down. Indeed, the performance of this four-person team so far has been terrible. More than just a bad word.

Bai Jin even regretted the report he wrote. It was simply redundant.

……

(They communicated with each other by passing thoughts, and even now they talk to each other in the tombs.)
"Have you heard the search and rescue story of the Beijing-Hong Kong Guards? They arrived in an uninhabited area, and a family hid in a deep cellar, and then they actually escaped."

Wei Yuan nodded in agreement: "The deeper you go underground, the older the soil becomes. It is possible."

Zhao Ying, who was walking in front, looked a little stiff. She glanced at Zhang Zheng and Wei Yuan for a while: "Did you just... say that?"

Zhang Zhengzheng was so excited that he looked at her blankly: "What did you say?"

Wei Yuan also raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying's face seemed blank for several seconds. She seemed to be thinking about something, but couldn't remember it. That confused and empty expression was plastered on her face.

"No, Zhao Ying, this has just begun and you are already scared crazy? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Zhang Zheng laughed mercilessly.

There seemed to be doubts on Zhao Ying's face, and she also forced out an uneasy smile.

None of the three noticed that Jiang Shan, who was standing silently next to him, seemed to have an even weirder expression. That seems a bit weird, laugh?

Bai Jin's group in front seemed to be further away. He obviously did not regard the four members of Wei Yuan's team as companions. Even when he saw that they were left behind, he showed no sign of helping or waiting. "Although it was excavated by hand, the cave wall is really weird. Is it necessary to make so many ravines?" Besides, isn't it more laborious to do it manually?

Zhang Zheng's complaints did not stop.

……

"Let me tell you about the search and rescue stories of the Beijing and Hong Kong Guards. I told you about a family who lived in a cellar."

"That's enough Zhang Zheng, stop talking!" Zhao Ying suddenly screamed.

Zhang Zheng was suddenly startled and felt a little embarrassed: "What are you doing, Zhao Ying? It's just telling a story. Are you so scared?"

He just wanted to liven up the atmosphere with good intentions, why did Zhao Ying react so fiercely.

"I just want to say that it was because that family hid in a cellar several meters underground that they became the only survivors!" How miraculous. This story could have just helped Zhao Ying relieve her fear of being underground. .

Wei Yuan nodded and said: "The deeper you go underground, the older the soil becomes. It is possible."

Zhao Ying's face turned as white as a sheet of paper in an instant, and she felt a little dazed... She couldn't even explain why she was so scared. She only felt that the conversation between Wei Yuan and Zhang Zheng seemed to make her extremely scared. She murmured: "Stories... stories, don't tell them anymore."

"Zhao Ying, we just got out of the cave, are you scared crazy? Hahahahahahahaha." Zhang Zheng couldn't help but laugh mercilessly.

It seemed that the more he wanted Zhao Ying to relax, the more nervous Zhao Ying became, and for some reason, Zhao Ying became more frightened when she heard the familiar laughter that should have been cordial. She squeezed Jiang Shan's hand tightly without even noticing, almost deforming it. However, Jiang Shan still stood quietly without any reaction.

Zhao Ying opened her eyes wide, and she let out a roar that she didn't even realize: "Shut up Zhang Zheng! Shut up! Stop talking and stop laughing!"

Her roar sounded so sharp and terrifying that it shocked Bai Jin's group who were walking away in front.

Only then did Zhang Zheng see that Zhao Ying was really not joking. He immediately calmed down his expression and said a little uncomfortable: "Zhao Ying, are you okay? Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable?"

Bai Jin sneered and turned to look at them: "Dr. Wei, if you don't expect your team to be useful, at least don't be so ridiculous, right?"

Surprisingly, is this really a team that has gone on four missions? Bai Jin felt like he was being fooled.

Zhang Zheng frowned and said, "Hey, Zhao Ying is not feeling well. Didn't you bring a doctor to show Zhao Ying?"

Bai Jin sneered coldly, "This time I brought only medicine to bandage trauma, not to treat psychological stress." Isn't this just a mockery of Zhao Ying's timidity.

"You guy..." Zhang Zheng was angry again. Zhao Ying suddenly squatted down holding her head, her whole body shaking like chaff, and she didn't even care about Jiang Shan.

Wei Yuan stared at Zhao Ying's appearance, the expression in his eyes slightly changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked around.

Dark passages and narrow cave walls will bring psychological pressure to people.

But Wei Yuan had a strange feeling. He remembered that just when Zhang Zhenggang blurted out the word "cellar", he seemed to have already thought about what to say in his heart? It was as if it came out of conditioned reflex, before Zhang Zheng even finished speaking?
When Zhao Ying asked Zhang Zheng repeatedly, she could only respond by trembling continuously.

Something is wrong, not right.

"We really can't go up," Zhang Zheng gritted his teeth and turned to look behind him, "Anyway, we have only been down for a few minutes, so we can go back in a few steps..."

Zhang Zheng's words came to an abrupt end. Wherever he looked, there were deep and dark tunnels with no end in sight, and there was a strange and evil feeling. "Cave, where is the cave we came down from just now?"

It’s definitely not a word count. Is anyone scared?
