Chapter 384 Afraid of Alarming It

The three of them kept calling out towards the endless abyss, but there was no response.

Zhong Jialing shone the most powerful flashlight down and could only see the steep and rugged stone walls on both sides.

Feng Qi and Zhong Jialing looked at Luo Jiu at the same time, with rare panic in their eyes.

Luo Jiu tried his best to remain calm and said, "Don't worry, Jialing, go in and take a look first, maybe they have gone in again."

Zhong Jialing stood up and was about to go in when Luo Jiu hurriedly said, "Go away."

Yes, if the position is wrong when coming out, you may fall down accidentally.

Zhong Jialing quickly ran to the side and entered the space.

He came out after a while and shook his head helplessly at them.

"Didn't go in?" Luo Jiu took a deep breath in surprise. "There are two possibilities for not going in. Either they encountered some unexpected situation, or they fainted and haven't woken up yet, so they can't go in. Or they fell too deep and can't go in."

Zhong Jialing asked hurriedly: "Is this possible?"

"Yes, it's like we are trapped in the Soul Locking House. We have arrived in another magnetic field and cannot establish a connection with the space."

"What should we do then?"

Luo Jiu stared at the dark bottomless pit, then looked at Feng Qi and Zhong Jialing. She said, "Sister Qi and I will go downstairs to find them. Jialing, you stay here. In case they return to the space, let them know where we are going."

Feng Qi said: "Okay, I'll prepare the rope right away."

Feng Qi quickly fixed a very long rope to a huge rock nearby and said, "Let's go."

Just as Luo Jiu was about to go down, Zhong Jialing suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Luo Jiu paused, a strange look flashed in his eyes, "No."

Zhong Jialing immediately asked: "Then why don't you let me go down?"

Feng Qi was confused and tried to persuade them: "Hey, what happened to you two? Ling'er, why are you unhappy? Didn't Jiu'er say that you should stay up there, otherwise they won't know what happened when they enter the space."

Zhong Jialing rolled her eyes at Feng Qi and said, "You are even more stupid than me."

She looked at Luo Jiu again, "No one is needed to guard here, we can leave a note. The lives of those down there are uncertain, and the same may be true for you down there. But why did you leave me here? Do you want me to wait like the female communications soldier at the outpost? What about our agreement to advance and retreat together?"

Luo Jiu was silent for a few seconds, "Jia Ling, we have been through life and death together so many times, you should know why.

If something happens to Yaoyao and Fubao, I won't be able to go back to see grandma. As you said, the situation down there is very complicated, and I can't handle it alone, so I asked Sister Qi to come with me.

Both of us are carefree people, but you are different. Mother Jiang and Father Zhong are still waiting for you at the base.

You wait here. If we don’t come up in three to five days and there is still no news, you go back and tell them everything.”

"I won't!" Zhong Jialing's eyes turned red. "I don't want to face their sorrow and pain alone. If something happens to you all, how can I have the face to live alone? We die together and live together."

As she spoke, she grabbed the rope and jumped down first.

Feng Qi just realized it now, "Hey, no...what should I do?"

Luo Jiu was helpless, "Hurry up and catch up, we can't get separated again."

Luo Jiu left a note in the space and followed Feng Qi down.

This is the crack in the ground formed by the earthquake just now, and the air is full of the smell of soil.

The further down they went, the damper and darker it became. The three of them wore searchlights on their heads and shone them down from time to time, but they could never see the bottom.

They used climbing picks and ropes to move down. About 20 minutes later, Zhong Jialing suddenly stopped, and Feng Qi asked, "What happened?"

Zhong Jialing said: "The rope has reached its end."

Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we just open the small parachute and jump down."

Luo Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, let me throw something down first."

Luo Jiu took out a fire stick from the space, twisted it hard, and it immediately lit up.

She threw the whole bundle of fireflies down, and the three of them followed the light with their eyes until the fireflies hit something, bounced a few times in the dark, and scattered all over the ground.

Happy expressions appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time. Fortunately, it was not really a bottomless pit. The pit had a bottom, and they also had some bottom in their hearts.

Luo Jiu said: "Let's land where the fire stick fell."

The bottom of the cave was about forty or fifty meters away from them. The three of them let go of the rope without hesitation, dived for a moment, and opened the small parachute.

After landing, Luo Jiu looked up. Although it was daytime outside, he could only see a small narrow strip of light from the bottom of the cave. It was like a person squinting his eyes, revealing only a narrow slit of vision, and they were now in this slightly squinting eye.

After Zhong Jialing landed, she tried and found that she could get things from the space, but for some reason, she couldn't enter the space at this depth.

Maybe it was like Luo Jiu said, a magnetic field? A barrier? Or maybe they went too deep underground? Anyway, they couldn't go in now.

But as long as the things can be taken out, lives can be saved.

The crack in the ground was long and narrow. Luo Jiu said, "Let's split up into two groups. I'll look this way, and you guys look that way. As usual, we'll communicate using the notebook in the space."

"Okay." The three of them immediately went their separate ways.

Luo Jiu walked northwest, while Zhong Jialing and Feng Qi walked southeast.

They all held camping lights in their hands. After walking a few steps, Luo Jiu tripped over a stone on the ground. She picked up the stones and made some marks on the stone walls along the way.

Luo Jiu called softly from time to time: "Yaoyao! Fubao!"

There was no echo from time to time, but the crack in the ground was only this big, only about four meters wide. They fell from this point, so where would they go?

About half an hour later, just when Luo Jiu thought she was almost at the end, she suddenly heard a strange noise.

The sound was a bit like human breathing, but with a slight rustling sound, which was extremely strange.

Luo Jiu swallowed unconsciously, took out the dagger and held it in his hand, raised the searchlight and shone it in the direction of the sound, and unexpectedly found a cave next to it.

Where did this cave come from? And it was full of twists and turns, like a maze. Luo Jiu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the sharp rocks inside, and felt a chill down his spine.

She was hesitating whether to go in, when suddenly there was another strange noise, this time it was a rubbing sound, like some animal preening its wings. And it sounded not far away, maybe about five or six meters from the entrance of the cave, turning left and a little inside.

Luo Jiu immediately held his breath, fearing that he would alarm "it".

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew with her toes that it was a big creature. This kind of winged creature usually makes no sound. For example, a fly, when it stops there, no matter how it folds its wings, humans can't hear it. And this sound was so clear, there was only one possibility, that is, it was very, very huge.
