Mou Xuan held the document in his hand, examining it as if he were examining an antique, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, as if he wished he could burn through the paper.
The people around dared not breathe, but stretched their necks curiously, like a group of hungry baby birds waiting to be fed.
The air was filled with tension, more suffocating than the final exams.
"What kind of nonsense is written on this thing?" Engineer Lin adjusted his glasses, looking confused.
Guo Shanmin simply scratched his head and muttered, "I only know mountains, not words." Explorer Xie, on the other hand, stroked his chin and thought, "This place... is a bit strange."
Mou Xuan ignored them, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
The description of the underground structure in the information was ambiguous, as if it was deliberately vague.
He repeatedly compared the map, checking the marks on the information with the actual terrain, but always felt that something was wrong.
Is there some hidden story behind this?
An ominous premonition came over him, making him feel very uneasy.
If the site selection is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
The painful experiences of his previous life were still fresh in his mind, and he would never allow the same mistakes to be repeated.
"No, there must be something that has been overlooked." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, his fingers sliding quickly on the map, his eyes jumping back and forth between the various marked points, like a high-speed processor.
He deduced it over and over again, trying to find the flaws.
Various possibilities collided and intertwined in his mind, but he could not find a reasonable explanation.
This self-doubt made him restless and like an ant on hot pot.
As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
Engineer Lin couldn't help but whisper, "Boss Mou, how about... we go to another place?"
"Shut up!" Mou Xuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharp as a knife, "It's not time to give up yet!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Especially at times like this, we must not lose our composure.
He picked up the document again, his eyes fixed on a blurry paragraph of text...
"Wait!" Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pointed at an inconspicuous mark on the map, "Here..." "Here...someone has tampered with it!" Mou Xuan's tone was cold, like a piece of ten thousand year old ice.
He pointed to the inconspicuous mark on the map, which was the entrance to an abandoned mine. The information described its underground structure as stable and suitable for conversion into a shelter.
But now it seems that this is clearly a carefully designed trap!
"What? A trap?!" Engineer Lin shuddered with fear, and his glasses almost fell off. "Mr. Mou, don't scare me. This is not a joke!" His face turned pale, his legs trembled slightly, and he wished he could fly away immediately.
Guo Shanmin also became nervous, rubbing his hands and looking at Mou Xuan with a worried look.
"The description of the geological structure of the mine in the information is fake," Mou Xuan explained. "The real mine has been abandoned long ago. The internal structure is extremely unstable and may collapse at any time. If we really build a shelter there, it will be tantamount to seeking our own death."
"Fuck, which bastard is so wicked!" Explorer Xie couldn't help but swear, his face full of indignation, "He is trying to trap us to death!" He has been exploring in the wild for many years and is particularly sensitive to such dangerous environments.
"It seems like someone doesn't want me to have an easy life..." Mou Xuan's betrayal in his previous life, the scheming in this life, new and old grudges surged into his heart, making him furious.
"Mr. Mou, why don't we just give up," Engineer Lin suggested cautiously, "This place is too weird, let's look for another place..."
"Give up?" Mou Xuan sneered, "How is that possible! Since someone wants to play, then play with him to the end!" There was a blazing fire in his eyes, and his tone was firm, "I want to see who is behind this!"
"But..." Engineer Lin wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Mou Xuan's eyes.
"Get ready and set off tomorrow!" Mou Xuan's tone was unquestionable, with an irresistible majesty.
"Where...going?" Engineer Lin asked tremblingly.
"Of course I'm going to that 'trap'!" Mou Xuan sneered, and cast his eyes on the mark on the map, like a beast staring at its prey, "I want to go and meet the mastermind in person!"
"This..." Engineer Lin wanted to say something, but when he saw Mou Xuan's determined eyes, he finally swallowed his words back.
He knew in his heart that Mou Xuan's decision would not change.
As night falls, the mountain wind howls and the shadows of the trees sway.
The entrance to the abandoned mine is like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, quietly waiting for its prey to arrive...
"Tomorrow...are you really going?" Engineer Lin's voice trembled in the wind like a drifting leaf.
Mou Xuan did not answer, but just stared at the entrance of the mine silently, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes...
Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the words on the information seemed to come alive, jumping in front of his eyes.
He activated his time-travel ability and his consciousness briefly went back to the past, where he saw Liang the bully secretly meeting with a man in black and handing him a forged mine document.
"Oh, it turns out to be you, you old villain!" Mou Xuan sneered and finally understood the trick behind it.
The bully Liang had a grudge against him in the previous life, but I didn't expect that his ghost would still linger in this life and try to kill someone with his help!
Back to the present, a playful smile appeared on Mou Xuan's lips.
Since Bully Liang wants to play, then play with him!
He activated his time ability again and went back to the time before the data was forged. He recorded the real mine information and cleverly modified part of the forged information to point to another excellent shelter location - a hidden valley.
