Chapter 663 Accidental Crash

In the darkness, Bo Ling recognized the faint footsteps that had gone away, and followed them breathlessly.

It seems that Lao Xu is not completely familiar with this area, and when he chooses his way at several forks, he seems a little hesitant.

This slowed him down even further.

After a while, Bai Ling finally caught up with a little fire in the distance. She hid in the darkness and stopped moving forward, her eyes carefully followed the trace of Lao Xu.

The deeper you go into this deep cave, the less it looks like a mine.

Bo Ling was a little confused whether he was going up or down. Although he felt that there were more downhill roads than uphill roads, the stuffy feeling was getting lighter and lighter.

After a certain corner, Bo Ling suddenly felt a coolness, and a gust of wind came from nowhere.

Old Xu stopped at this moment, then leaned over and jumped, and disappeared.

Just as Bo Ling was about to catch up and look, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder in the dark.

She was so scared that she almost cried out, when she heard Mu Cheng say behind her, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Ling looked back at Mu Cheng with a pale face.

—The man walked almost silently.

When Bai Ling came back to her senses, she asked with some doubts, "...how did you catch up so fast? You can catch up even after going up and down?"

"I didn't go up with them." Mu Cheng said softly, "Anyway, the older boy among them seems to have some strength, at most he climbed a bit slower—what are you doing here?"

"Let me see what Lao Xu is doing here." Bai Ling said softly, "It feels weird."

"You feel weird all the time...what's weird?"

Bai Ling laughed, "Didn't Master Xu say that they only found clues that the children might be in the mining area last month? From locking the mining area to going down the mine, and then planning such a rescue operation, it took a lot of time. His energy must be enormous..."

Bo Ling said softly, "Under such circumstances, can a person with no experience in mines be familiar with everything here in just over a month...I don't believe it."

"..." Mu Cheng frowned slightly.

"Either he lied about the time when he got the clue, or he deliberately refused to admit that he had been down the well before." Bo Ling watched the light in front of him slowly fade, and stood up quickly, "Let's follow up."

——Sure enough, there is a sunken plank road at the place where Lao Xu's figure disappeared.

The further he walked, the more Mu Cheng felt something was wrong.

The ground under his feet became more and more flat, and the artificial traces on the walls on both sides became heavier and heavier. I don't know when the jagged walls turned into thick square bricks.

Until Lao Xu stopped, Bo Ling and Mu Cheng also stopped immediately.

After removing this slender and narrow stone path, the vision in front of him suddenly opened up.

But it seemed that everything was still underground, except for the glimmer of light in Lao Xu's hand, he couldn't see anything clearly.

Bo Linghe stared at the figure of Lao Xu... From the limited view, they saw that there was a wall of goods piled up behind Lao Xu that was much higher than him. Most of the goods were covered with black cloth until the old Xu Xu walked to the corner - the things there were not covered, and many simple wooden boxes were neatly stacked.

It looks like this is an underground warehouse.

Old Xu kept bending over, circling along the wall of the warehouse, not knowing what he was doing.

Mu Cheng poked Bai Ling's shoulder lightly, and gestured to go left.

Bo Ling understood and made way for Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng quietly landed on the floor of the warehouse.

At this time, Lao Xu made a detour to the northwest corner, while Mu Cheng made a silent detour to the southeast corner, then leaned over and carefully groped the ground.

Almost as soon as his hands touched the ground, Mu Chengcheng understood what was under his feet—he stood up and yelled in the darkness, "Old Xu, what are you doing?"

The lights in the warehouse flickered.

Old Xu was startled by the sudden voice, and then quickly recovered his composure. When he saw the person in front of him, he frowned slightly, "Why didn't you leave?"

Mu Cheng walked to Lao Xu's side in two or three steps, to the pile of wooden boxes that were not wrapped in black cloth, and quickly lifted the lid.Even with only a faint light, Mu Cheng recognized the contents at a glance - eight shells were neatly stacked in the box.

Mu Cheng has already drawn his sword, until Lao Xu.

"Don't get me wrong." Old Xu slowly put the lamp on the wooden box beside him, "I can explain..."

"Song Qing!" Mu Cheng completely ignored Lao Xu's excuse, and he shouted, "Hurry up! Go and report to the police!"

Bai Ling in the darkness was taken aback for a moment.

Mu Cheng said again, "This should be the warehouse where the government stores ammunition... This guy, this guy has been laying fuzes on the ground!"

Old Xu was startled—he had never thought that Mu Cheng was not the only one in front of him here.

Bo Ling only felt his scalp go numb for a while, and then, ignoring the sound of his feet, he stumbled back and ran back.

However, before Mu Cheng could open his mouth to ask who Lao Xu was, he heard the sound of Bo Ling's fleeing footsteps stop abruptly.

There was a little more fire at the entrance, and it seemed that someone was approaching slowly with a lamp.

Lao Xu and Mu Cheng confronted each other, but neither acted rashly, but locked on the change at the entrance with peripheral vision.

First, Bo Ling retreated slowly.

——On the opposite side of her, a person who had been waiting above jumped into the warehouse with a lamp.

"Third!" Old Xu was both happy and surprised, "Why did you come down? Where are the dolls?"

"Let the second child take the dolls away first," said the third child with a knife in one hand and a lamp in the other, "I don't think these two came up, but I heard Hu Zi said that they were going to go with you, so I came down to have a look. "

Burling's throat moved.

"You are not Qingzhou villagers." She also held the dagger behind her waist with her hand, and Bai Ling's jaw sank slightly, "...are you the internal agent of the gold thief?"

"Fart Nei Ying!" The third child's anger quickly jumped up, "When the dog officer arrested someone, he said that he was a gold thief or a blue-robed bandit. I have lived half my life, and the hair of the gold thief never seen it!"

Mu Cheng scolded, "It's not a gold thief, so why are you burning my Da Zhou's arsenal!"

Old Xu has calmed down.

"Let's talk slowly, we are indeed not gold thieves, nor are we blue-robed bandits," Old Xu said softly, "We can lie, but those little dolls can't, can they?"

Mu Cheng remembered what he had just heard in the stone path, those sincere reunion cries, "Then what exactly do you want to do?"

"We didn't intend to destroy any arsenal, but we just found out that there is a warehouse for munitions here by accident," Old Xu said softly, "But this man-eating mine can no longer be kept."
