"Holy crap! What's going on?"
Lu Yuan quickly shone a flashlight on it.
The entire wall began to tremble as if it were breathing.
"Oh no! We have to get out of here right now!"
Then Lu Yuan waved to everyone: "Get in the car!"
The convoy started moving again; they dared not linger for even a minute longer.
Hei Zi looked at the map in his hand and began to determine where the rock layer was thinner.
However, after looking around, the hater gave up immediately.
"Damn it! The thickness of the rock layers here is beyond our capabilities! Now we only have one place left!"
Lu Yuan leaned closer to look at the map and asked, "Any other places?"
Then Kuroko pointed to a point on the map: "It's here!"
"Huh? Isn't this the place where the explosion happened?"
"That's right! This is the place! We have no choice but to start here now! Otherwise, the thickness of the rock layers in other places is simply too great to penetrate in a short time!"
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Damn it! Wasn't this place already blocked off?"
"The gap in the blocked area isn't very large! And they should still be working on it, so we should have enough time!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the distance: "It will take more than an hour to get here!"
"Yes! But how long do you think it would take to drill through a rock layer more than 50 meters thick with the equipment we have?"
"Phew! Alright! Looks like this is the only way!"
So, Hei Zi ordered the convoy to speed up and head back to where they had come from.
After walking for a short while, a collapse sound suddenly came from deep within the cave.
Lu Yuan glanced back at the back of the car. Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything inside, Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that the sound was from the soldier ants breaking through the ant nest they had just built.
"Damn it! This is insane! Now we not only have to keep moving, but we also have to deal with a massive swarm of termites! It looks like our next task is going to be extremely difficult!"
Hei Zi remained silent, while Chen Zhongzheng sat in his seat with a deep expression, seemingly lost in thought.
The car sped along, but the uneven road surface prevented it from going too fast, and the driver had to put in more effort than usual to avoid running over the stalagmites on the ground.
Throughout the journey, Lu Yuan would occasionally glance at the time on his watch.
"There are only three and a half hours left! How much longer until we reach the designated location?"
Hei Zi checked the car's speed and said, "It should still be about half an hour!"
"Damn it! Half an hour... that's still a tight timeframe! I hope those idiots don't detonate it prematurely!"
Then, the car continued to move forward.
Half an hour later, the group finally saw some light in the distance.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and felt a little curious.
"Hmm? Does that mean that place hasn't been sealed off yet?"
However, after the car continued to travel a few hundred meters forward, Lu Yuan finally saw the situation in the distance clearly.
Several armored vehicles were parked on a barren patch of ground, surrounded by a group of people, all with somber expressions.
Hearing the sound of a car in the distance, everyone couldn't help but turn around and take a look.
The crowd erupted in cheers the moment they saw the convoy.
Lu Yuan glanced at the cars in the distance and immediately understood that these cars belonged to the expert group and the group leader.
The car stopped in front of them, and Lu Yuan was immediately surrounded as soon as he got out.
"Brothers! Brothers, help me! Did you guys come from inside? Did everyone die from that explosion?"
Hei Zi frowned and looked at everyone: "Get the hell out of my way! Don't delay me from doing my work!"
At this moment, the leader of the second group extended his hand: "Hello! I am the leader of the second group of the underground exploration team! We..."
"I told you to shut up!"
Hei Zi was furious. They didn't have much time left, and Yan Zi was currently in the city. Their most important task was to leave as soon as possible to prevent outsiders from pouring fuel into the area and detonating it.
Seeing how fierce Hei Zi was, the leader of Group Two cursed inwardly and walked towards Lu Yuan.
The people surrounding Lu Yuan at this moment were the expert team. When they saw Lu Yuan's appearance clearly, they were all stunned.
"How...how is it you? How did you get in?"
"Aren't you that wanted criminal? Were you also exiled here?"
"Are these the people who came to rescue you? How about we cooperate? We'll put in a good word for you after we get out! Then the Long Group will drop the warrant for your arrest!"
"..."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Sorry! I don't really care about the Long Group's warrant for my arrest! Besides, we have more important things to do right now. If you want to die here, go over there! There are termite swarms over there! Enough for you to study for a while!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the expert team couldn't help but look in the direction from which Lu Yuan and his team had come.
Although it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, they had a vague feeling that there must be a swarm of termites over there.
So they all shut their mouths. The team leader's team also saw Lu Yuan, and their expressions were filled with shock.
Hei Zi led his men to the designated location.
