The cheers gradually subsided and the villagers dispersed one after another, leaving only Mou Xuan and Shen Yao standing in the open space.
The victory just now left the air filled with excitement, but Mou Xuan's furrowed brows destroyed this harmonious atmosphere.
He bent down and carefully observed the strange symbols on the ground. They looked like some ancient writing, or like the random scribbles of a child.
"Yaoyao, look at these symbols, do they look like..." Mou Xuan hesitated to speak, the uneasy feeling in his heart becoming stronger and stronger.
Chen Yao followed his gaze and also found those symbols, as well as several dark pits covered by weeds.
"It looks a bit like... a sinkhole." She said hesitantly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
Mou Xuan's heart was shocked and the ground collapsed!
If that's the case, then this isn't a good place to build a safe house!
He had finally driven away the high-rise real estate developers and selected a location, but this problem arose again. It seemed as if fate was playing a joke on him.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"No, I need to find someone to confirm it."
He immediately contacted Engineer Lin, an engineer who was familiar with abandoned factories and geological conditions. Although he was a little timid, he had good professional ability.
"Mr. Lin, please come over here quickly. I have something here that I need your help with."
Then, he contacted Guo Shanmin, a resident who has lived in the mountains for many years and is familiar with the mountain environment, and perhaps can provide some useful information.
"Brother Guo, please come over again. I found some strange phenomena and I would like to ask you to help take a look."
To be on the safe side, Mou Xuan also contacted Explorer Xie, an experienced explorer who was very familiar with the surrounding dangerous areas, bold and careful, and might be able to see some clues.
"Mr. Xie, I may have some trouble here and need your professional advice."
Even after arranging all this, Mou Xuan still felt heavy-hearted.
He looked at the symbols and dark pits again. An ominous premonition enveloped him. The air around him seemed to solidify, making it so oppressive that it made him unable to breathe.
"I hope I'm just overthinking..." He whispered to himself, but a voice deep in his heart told him that things were far from that simple.
At this moment, a jeep stopped in front of them at lightning speed. Explorer Xie jumped out of the car and asked seriously, "Mr. Mou, what's going on?"
Mou Xuan pointed at the symbols and the dark pit on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Look..."
Explorer Xie frowned, walked around the symbols and the dark pits and carefully observed them. He squatted down and touched the ground with his hands. After a moment, he said solemnly, "This place... is not right. The geological structure is very loose and there is a risk of collapse."
Mou Xuan's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed so!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and activated his time ability.
Everything in front of him was blurry in an instant, and then quickly clear. He was in the past and saw the secrets of this land.
It turns out that this place used to be a swamp, and later due to crustal movement it gradually became its current appearance. There are still many unstable cavities hidden deep underground.
Back to reality, there was a glimmer of hope on Mou Xuan's face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It was different with the golden finger. This feeling of "open-book exam" was simply too cool.
"Huh - it looks like there's no big problem." Mou Xuan clapped his hands pretending to be relaxed to ease the tense atmosphere.
At this moment, Engineer Lin arrived panting. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his face turned pale instantly after seeing the situation on the ground.
"This...this...isn't this a sign of collapse? No, no, this place is too dangerous. We can't build a safe house here!"
Mou Xuan had expected this reaction and patiently explained, "Mr. Lin, don't panic. I have found a solution. We just need to..."
"What solution? What do you know about geology! It's so dangerous here, and you still insist on going your own way. You are simply playing with your life!" Engineer Lin got furious when he heard that Mou Xuan had a solution. His courage could not withstand such stimulation at all.
Mou Xuan was a little annoyed by him and his tone became tough.
"Mr. Lin, if you don't believe me, you can check the information yourself to see if what I said is right!"
"You...you...what's your attitude? I'm a professional engineer, and you dare to question me?!" Engineer Lin was so angry that his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Mou Xuan.
"Hey, Old Lin, it's a good thing for young people to have ideas, so don't be so excited!" Guo Shanmin saw that something was not right and quickly came out to smooth things over, but his words also revealed his support for Engineer Lin.
Explorer Xie and Shen Yao looked at each other, they didn't expect that these two people would quarrel over a solution, and for a moment they didn't know who to help.
"What are you making so much noise for! What a disgrace!" Just then, a rough voice was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the bully Liang and a group of his younger brothers walking towards them aggressively.
Liang the Bully glanced at everyone arrogantly, and finally his eyes fell on Mou Xuan, "Hey, isn't this Boss Mou? What are you making such a fuss about here? Are you going to do something big again?"
Mou Xuan glanced at him coldly and ignored him. Instead, he turned to Engineer Lin and said, "Engineer Lin, it seems that we need to have a good chat. Regarding this solution, I have more detailed information here..."
Mou Xuan took out a tablet from the car, pulled up several geological maps and data analysis reports, and handed them to Engineer Lin. "Engineer Lin, this is the analysis I made based on the historical geological data of this area. You see, although the underground structure here is complex, it is not unsolvable. I plan to use deep grouting reinforcement technology, combined with the surface drainage system, to effectively prevent ground subsidence."
