Chapter 110 Escape

Upon receiving the message, the group quickly rushed over.

Although Captain Feng had given a few explanations beforehand, everyone who arrived at the scene still looked at the newcomer with utter astonishment.

"Old Du, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Meng Junxia, ​​looking both curious and gossipy, approached him and stared intently at the large tree in front of him.

"Could there really be two living people hiding in here?"

What were they thinking?

Old Meng's words seemed to reflect their own sentiments, but for now, these ideas had to be put on hold.

The most important thing for everyone right now is to confirm the situation, find a solution, and save the person!

"Xiao Liu, you and Captain Feng go up and take a look too."

Aside from the injured Qin Chuan and Grandpa Chen, they were the only ones who could climb up there.

The group quickly agreed, and watched as the two climbed the tree one after the other.

During this time, Hosen was not idle either. He used many methods to finally confirm that they were indeed trapped in the tree.

Furthermore, if verbal communication with shareholders proves ineffective, then it is advisable to decisively abandon the investment.

They then used the passwords they had learned to communicate and quickly made contact.

It was at this time that they learned their situation was really bad; one person was injured, and they had been without food and water for a day.

If a solution cannot be found in a short time, they may fall due to an accident.

"Comrade Huo, what's the current situation?"

As they were getting close, Captain Feng was the first to inquire.

"Captain Feng, this is the current situation..."

After explaining the current situation, the three of them squatted down in different places, feeling inexplicably amused and funny.

"Who is injured, and will it affect operations?"

"It's the wooden team. They said it was the arm they hit when they fell, but they can still hold on for the time being."

Upon hearing his words, the two men's expressions turned quite unpleasant.

Team leader Mu, a very agile comrade in their base, seemed to be in a bad mood from what she was saying, especially considering the harsh conditions of being without water and food.

The fact that the two of them have managed to hold on until now clearly shows that they have given it their all.

"We must get him out, at all costs."

When Captain Feng finished speaking, a rare sharpness and determination appeared in his usually calm eyes.

His unwavering determination was evident on his face, which remained unchanged.

The two people beside him heard his willingness to do anything and understood that this matter had to be resolved.

It would be no problem to even destroy it.

"But did they say anything about a solution?" Captain Feng asked, thinking of the two below.

After all, he hadn't forgotten how excited and happy Teacher Du had been just now.

"They don't have any other ideas right now. Their original plan to find a way out by going up has failed, so they thought about looking down and said there was a place where light could be seen through."

“Really? That’s a clue. You and Xiao Liu keep in touch and keep an eye on things up there. I’ll go down and discuss it with them.”

The two agreed, with Hossen taking charge of contacting and exchanging information.

Liu Cheng then began searching the entire tree for the so-called invisible door.

In other words, the light they saw!

"So now the two of them have walked into a dead end and died!"

After hearing the whole story, Old Meng's eyes, which had been filled with the same joy as Old Du's, became calm.

After all, it's not a pleasant feeling when the legendary sacred tree has turned into a tree that traps and devours people.

Old Du glanced at Captain Feng, then looked up, and a bad thought popped into his head.

Something's not right. Do they mean to split this tree in half?

Isn't that such a waste?

Old Master Du felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it. This was even worse than having his business destroyed in front of him. At least he had once possessed the former, but the latter was something he had longed for for many years, and it was destroyed on the very first time he saw it.

But this is the most direct way; we can't let things cause us to lose people.

Besides, the two women were also teammates on the same team, so Du Xiangrong couldn't give a reason to refuse.

But my heart really aches!

It's throbbing, and every breath I take hurts terribly!

"By the way, Old Chen, why aren't you saying anything? What do you mean?"

After the initial shock and surprise, Qin Chuan, who was standing to the side, waited obediently. After all, he couldn't do anything else right now, so he could only stay put.

But Chen Dong is different; he set up almost the entire stall this time.

If this isn't explained clearly, what will happen next?

"I... I have no objection. It's up to you. Use whichever method works."

Unlike his usual scoundrel self, Blind Chen was surprisingly polite and well-mannered this time.

But why were Old Du and Old Meng, who were being subtly flattered, so unhappy? They felt that this kid was messing with them again.

Team Leader Feng looked over here, then swept his gaze over there.

"I have no objection, you guys can make the decision."

Chen Dong waved his hand and then found a seat.

Qin Chuan, who was sitting quietly to the side, asked curiously when he saw him come closer. "Old Chen, but this tree is so thick, how can we make a cut in it?"

Yes, you should ask that question.

This is unlike the usual method, where you might use tools to chop it, break it with all your might, or even uproot it.

If this tree were to grow outside, they would all suspect that it had become a spirit.

But things are different now. Not to mention the many Phoebe zhennan forests they've seen before, the banyan forests within a hundred miles of the base are also ancient, but they've never personally engaged in any violent harvesting.

Or, barring unforeseen circumstances, the only option for this collection process is blasting.

As Captain Feng pondered, his gaze fell upon the nearest black package.

Those were the explosive packs they used for their escape; there were five in total, just in case something unexpected happened at the last minute and they couldn't get out.

Didn't expect to need it now?

Upon seeing his actions, Qin Chuan's usually calm face revealed a look of shock.

"Is this really going to explode?"

"Captain Feng, once this package is deployed, there won't be a single living creature within a five-kilometer radius, and can we guarantee their safety?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Qin is absolutely right about that. We need to discuss this beforehand. I just estimated that this tree is at least 1100 years old. According to our calculations, it takes 10 years for a redwood tree to grow 1 centimeter in diameter. So, even if the thinnest part of this tree is at least 80 centimeters thick, the thickest part must be at least 110 centimeters. Of course, if they hide in the middle section, which has the strongest defense, then we can consider it."

After the old man finished speaking, several pairs of eyes swept over him.

These words clearly served as a reminder to them, and then another piece of very bad news arrived from above.

"Something's wrong. The team leader who contacted us earlier, Mu, has fainted due to a fever."

"What?"

"So what's the situation now, and who's making the contact?"

"What's the situation inside? Can that young comrade bring two people with him?"

The men's faces were tense, as if there was a countdown timer hanging on them, waiting for the time to reset so they would be punished.

Once this reality was understood, time could no longer be wasted.

The previously mentioned transfer and adjustment have all been ruled out.

Now, wherever they are, the explosives must be detonated in the appropriate location.

It must not only fulfill its function, but also not harm people.

Needless to say, Hosen understood the situation perfectly. After explaining things to Loin and confirming that she understood, Hosen climbed down from the tree.

"Team Leader Mu, just wait patiently, hang in there, we'll be out soon."

Luo Yin was nervous and scared, her heart filled with apprehension, and she could only keep tugging at the wooden frame.

Even though she was burning up and her body was steaming hot, he pressed heavily on her body without showing the slightest impatience.

Trust them, trust yourself!

She covered her and Mu Dui's heads and ears with clothes, and covered the rest of the body with what she could, and there was nothing she could do about the rest.

Time passed slowly, and unable to see what was happening, she could only wait.

There seemed to be some ripples below, but she couldn't lower her head or even move.

After all, their lives now depended on her alone.

Just as she was muttering to herself and making a soft wish, the explosion occurred.

"Bang!"

Luo Yin clearly felt the big tree she was leaning on begin to tremble and shake.

The entire tree trunk seemed to have suffered a tremendous external force, and the wooden team she had tied together almost fell down without any of them remaining.

She had to pull them back so that they could lean against each other.

Fortunately, she had tied a knot beforehand, and he also reminded her.

Outside, beneath the redwood trees, plumes of smoke from the explosions dissipated.

Then you can see that a hole has been blasted out at the base of the tree, where it connects to the trunk.

The hole was large enough for an adult to crawl into, but not large enough to uproot the entire tree; it seemed to be still alive.

"Wow, this is a great consideration. Look how high the standard is!"

Old Du looked at Captain Feng with heartfelt sincerity, for the dosage had indeed been approved by him.

Captain Feng rubbed his ears. "It's still a bit off. The sound is a bit too loud. We should reduce it a little more."

"Alright, alright, let's see what's going on inside first."

Chen Dong interrupted the group and quickly sent people inside.

Everyone knew that saving lives was the priority, so they shone their flashlights over the cave entrance as soon as they emerged.

Looking at the pitch-black environment inside, it really did look a bit intimidating.

"Let me go in and take a look first."

"Be careful, since they came up from below, don't slip and fall when you go in."

Old Meng didn't forget to remind him, and then had someone bring him two more sets of ropes.

One set was strapped to his body, and he carried the other set with him.

For now, he will lead the way and assess the situation. Once it's clear enough, Xiao Liu will go in and bring the person out.

Before long, fully equipped Hosen climbed a short distance and spotted the two.

Hossen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two of them again.

"Captain Huo, we've finally waited for you."

Loin was equally delighted. "Great! Great!"

She finally didn't have to hold on any longer. "Team Leader Mu has a high fever, and I can't wake her up. What should I do?"

Hossen shone his flashlight on the two of them, then looked around.

“It wasn’t far, so I carried him out.”

"ah?"

Luo Yin was successfully fed food and water. After taking a big bite of the biscuit, she quickly drank some water.

After temporarily putting aside her stomach ache, she looked at Captain Mu, then at him.

"The road down here is very difficult to walk on. Are you sure you're okay?" She thought she should find someone else, otherwise she was really afraid that a single misstep could lead to eternal regret!

Hossen glanced at her several times and noticed that her chin had become quite pointed.

She looked even thinner than before, which made her eyes appear even bigger and brighter.

It also makes facial expressions more flexible and vivid!

"It's too late!"

"What?" Luo Yin looked down. "Could it be that the Bluebird has caught up with us again?"

Hosen successfully helped the person up, saying, "Give me a hand!"

Seeing that there was no other way, Luo Yin could only tie the wooden team to his back.

"Forget it, let's fight!" It's better than waiting to die.

She spoke in a low voice, little did she know that he heard everything.

"No, be careful." After saying that, Hosen told her to go first.

“You take the wood team with you.” She said, then remembered something and shook her head, “No, I have to stay down here. If anything happens to you, I can hold them off.”

"Okay, be careful!"

So Loin began to climb down, one step at a time, sometimes sinking deep and sometimes shallow.

This level of difficulty is comparable to her descending the mountain on a rainy night.

The roads were not only slippery and muddy, but visibility was also extremely low, even when there was light.

The flashlight beam that Hosen shone could only illuminate a limited area, focusing on only one or two points each time he stepped on the ground. The beam would dim down if the person was a meter or two away from the spot.

Luo Yin had complained bitterly, but seeing the door of hope right in front of her, she could only suppress it all.
