Chapter 88 Call Me Little Bar
Qin Jiu was dumbfounded.
Her blue old man's car was sandwiched between the SUV and the RV... Mengmeng's vehicle is an RV, right?
He looks like a little child.
When Meng Qingyin saw the man "drowning his sorrows in strong liquor," her eyes widened in astonishment.
"Drowning sorrows with strong liquor" is actually a girl?
Or is she a very cute girl?
She had always thought that "drowning sorrows in strong liquor" was a man who was addicted to alcohol.
Ignoring the shocked looks of the two, Chen Leying glanced at the baby in Meng Qingyin's arms and then calmly said, "Let's go, don't waste time."
Qin Jiu snapped out of her daze. "But is our vehicle just going to stay here? What if... someone else drives it away?"
Chen Leying: "Vehicles are bound to the owner, and no one can drive your vehicle away. Of course, if you're stupid enough to grant someone else access, then that's not necessarily true."
Qin Jiu was surprised by Chen Leying's sharp tongue and shook her head repeatedly, "Of course I wouldn't. Since no one can drive my vehicle away, I'm relieved. But... what if someone passes by here, smashes our vehicle, and steals things from it?"
Meng Qingyin was taken aback, realizing that she had seemingly overlooked this issue.
Whether it was law enforcement or exploring sites, her RV was parked on the original road, but she never encountered the situation that "drowning sorrows with strong liquor" had mentioned, so she ignored it.
Now that the idea of "drowning one's sorrows in strong liquor" has been brought up, she also feels that such a possibility is indeed possible.
Others may not be able to move her train, but what if she damages it?
Chen Leying crossed her arms, her tone slightly cold: "So you two have changed your minds?"
Qin Jiu looked troubled.
Meng Qingyin looked at Chen Leying: "Aren't you worried about this?"
Chen Leying: "My off-road vehicle has been reinforced, and ordinary weapons cannot destroy it."
Meng Qingyin understood; it turned out the vehicle had been enhanced. No wonder she immediately noticed that Chen Leying's off-road vehicle was different from before.
After a moment's thought, Meng Qingyin said, "Chen Leying's SUV isn't afraid of a collision. Your car is at the back, your car is in the middle, and my car is in front. Do you have any objections?"
The old man's drink, which is meant to drown his sorrows in strong liquor, is the least afraid of being bumped, and placing it in the middle can provide some protection.
Chen Leying shrugged: "I have no objection."
Qin Jiu readily agreed: "I have no objection either. However, it feels a bit awkward to still call me by my online name after we've met. You should just call me Little Bar."
Meng Qingyin was surprised: "Small bar? What a strange name."
Qin Jiu's lips twitched. "It's a small bottle of wine, not a small bar."
Meng Qingyin: "...Oh."
Chen Leying urged the two of them, "Stop dawdling, let's get started."
Qin Jiu immediately took out the prop and clicked to use it.
The next moment, the three people's positions did not change, and they were not teleported to other places.
[Team leader "Strong Liquor to Drown Sorrows" has unlocked a mysterious mine ruin, visible only to "Strong Liquor to Drown Sorrows," "Chen Leying," and "Meng Meng." Note: There is no time limit for exploration; the three can explore the ruin at their leisure. There is no mileage target during the exploration.]
Upon hearing this suggestion, Meng Qingyin was quite surprised.
The stations she explored before all had time limits, but this mysterious mine ruins didn't seem to have any time limits?
They even thoughtfully removed the driving target mileage option?
Does this also suggest that the danger of the mysterious mine ruins has increased significantly?
Meng Qingyin looked down and found a map on her wristwatch, marking the location of the mysterious mine ruins.
Upon closer inspection, the mine ruins are located deep in the grassland to the east of this highway, about 800 meters away.
Qin Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect the mine ruins to be so close to us? Then we don't need to worry about vehicles. Even if we encounter someone with ulterior motives and they sabotage our vehicles, we'll hear them and be able to get back in time."
Chen Leying said seriously, "The key point is that there is no time limit for exploration, which sounds too lenient on us and is definitely not a good thing."
Qin Jiu: "You mean it's very dangerous?"
Chen Leying didn't answer, but instead started walking eastward. "Let's go take a look."
Meng Qingyin and Qin Jiu quickly followed.
Qin Jiu suddenly caught sight of the little lamb in Meng Qingyin's arms and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Were you holding this little lamb just now?"
"Um."
"How come I didn't see it just now? But why is your lamb's wool bluish-green?"
"It's probably genetic."
Seeing that Mengmeng had no intention of communicating, Qin Jiu stopped asking.
After walking for a few minutes, the three arrived at the location marked on the map.
But there was only a patch of green grass here, and no trace of a mine at all.
Qin Jiu paced back and forth, looking at the map. "Strange, the map shows this is the place, so why isn't it here?"
Meng Qingyin stood still, staring at the grass beneath her feet.
Since it's a mine ruin...
It must be underground.
Chen Leying took out a pickaxe and tapped it back and forth on the grass to listen to the sound. After a moment, she pointed to a patch of grass and said, "There's hollow underneath."
Then he used a pickaxe to pound the ground hard, and the turf collapsed, revealing a passage that seemed to have no end underneath.
Qin Jiu leaned closer and glanced down: "It's too dark inside, I can't see anything."
Meng Qingyin took a piece of wood, split it into four parts with an axe, lit it with a lighter, and made a torch.
Then, she made two more torches and gave one to Chen Leying and the other to Qin Jiu.
Holding the torch in one hand, Meng Qingyin carefully descended the steps. There was a dark, rotten smell inside, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
The three of them walked down the steps.
At the end of the steps was a very spacious stone cave.
The three torches could only illuminate a part of the large stone cave; the surrounding area was pitch black and extremely eerie.
Qin Jiu couldn't help but shrink her neck and move closer to Meng Qingyin.
"Stay close to me," Meng Qingyin said as she walked forward.
Qin Jiu followed her closely, not daring to leave her side for even half a step.
Chen Leying, holding a torch, walked to the other side: "This cave is too big, I'll go take a look over there."
Qin Jiu said anxiously, "It's too dangerous, let's act together!"
Chen Leying: "The three of us are too inefficient. I'll go to the right and put some torches there. You two go to the left and put torches there. Let's see how big this cave is first. We can only proceed with the next step after we figure it out."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, let's split up."
Staying in the mine for too long is not a good idea; we need to figure out what's going on here as soon as possible.
Chen Leying explored to the right, groping her way forward while sticking a piece of wood into the ground and then lighting it with the torch in her hand.
The same applies to Meng Qingyin.
In no time, the light from the flames illuminated the small area in the middle.
Qin Jiu suddenly felt that the cave was no longer so oppressive.
