Compared with the outdoors, the damp cave is really not likable. Not to mention these natives who don't understand anything, even Wu Xiaoqing still feels uncomfortable when he tries to sleep in it at night.Wu Xiaoqing, who has always had a good sleep quality, actually started to suffer from insomnia at night.

It's okay to be cold and wet, wrap up a little more clothes - they brought piles of fabrics from the earth this time, and they can handle it.But the water droplets dripping from the stone wall or stalactites above the head at any time are quite disgusting.

Xu Yan said that the Americans used this method to torture prisoners in prisons—covering a man's glasses and then continuously dripping water on his head.In the end, the prisoner was driven crazy by the water drop.

Although the water droplets in the cave will not make people crazy, it is sure to make everyone uneasy.Although everyone avoided places where water would drip, just like the leaky house Wu Xiaoqing lived in when he was a child, the water dripped on the floor one after another, which made people very uncomfortable.

But there is no way to seal the water droplets. According to the search and rescue team, many water droplets seep from the cracks in the rocks. A major feature of the karst terrain is that the rocks are severely corroded. It may be holes, big or small, that fill up with water when it rains, and then drip down slowly in normal times.If it is really blocked, the water may change the dripping location, which is not as good as the current fixed dripping location.

After giving up on falling asleep again, Wu Xiaoqing crawled out of his sleeping bag, put on his glasses, and walked out of the cave with the reminder of the glasses.

The cave where Wu Xiaoqing sleeps now is pretty good. It was specially selected for nobles to live in.The terrain in the cave is relatively flat, and the exit is also large. Even at night, you can feel some light from the outside.Walking from the inside to the outside, you can walk out in just one or two minutes.

It turned out that the search and rescue team arranged to get up in the middle of the night to watch the night. Now that Wu Xiao was awake, they might as well go earlier.Wu Xiaoqing found his horse at the door, patted it, and the horse turned its head gently.Wu Xiaoqing untied it from the reins, got on the horse, and started to set off.

The closest cave to them is less than a kilometer away, and it's just a short walk along the hillside.The soldiers guarding the gate were playing dice for gambling. After seeing Wu Xiaoqing, they subconsciously gave way to him.

"How's the situation inside?"

"A lot of people are crying..." the soldier said, and then he took out a large stack of plastic bowls from his hand—My lord envoy, this was what they threw out to bribe us, but we didn't release a single person.

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the thick stack of plastic bowls and the hole surrounded by fences, and suddenly realized that perhaps in the eyes of the people in the cave, his appearance as an "angel" might have changed A villain who frightened them.

"Open the door."

"There are thousands of people inside, and it is difficult for us to guarantee your safety." There is only a small team of more than 20 people guarding the entrance of this cave.In the dark cave, they have no way to guarantee their safety.

"I can protect myself!" Wu Xiaoqing took out his pistol and ordered again, "Open the door."

Even with a gun, Wu Xiaoqing still felt scared after entering the cave.The entrance to this cave is very narrow. Although there are some cold lights hanging in the cave, most places are still dark.Most of the caves are filled with men, and there are grunts everywhere, and you can smell the pungent smell of urine and feces inside.Although according to the regulations, toilets have been dug inside-there are many underground drains in the cave, and the underground space is enough to discharge some household garbage.Obviously, in the eyes of the people in the cave, going deeper into the ground to defecate is a worrying thing-everyone still believes that the people living under the ground are demons.

Most were asleep, and some remained awake.After seeing Wu Xiaoqing coming in, these people patted the sleeping people around them awake.

"It's an angel."

"What is he doing here?"

"I don't know...is it going to start the sacrifice..."

The eyes of the people around began to become unfriendly. Behind Wu Xiaoqing, the passageway to walk in had been blocked.In Wu Xiaoqing's field of vision, there are only dense red silhouettes around him, and the faces of these silhouettes are almost facing him.Many people's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and quite a few even held small plastic forks for eating instant noodles, as if they were ready to rely on this thing to resist the devil at any time.

The search and rescue team's scans have all been completed, and Wu Xiaoqing withdrew from the crowd again.When he got to the door and closed the gate, he could feel himself let out a quiet breath—and so did the red outlines inside.

The statistical results are not particularly good. The density of people in this cave is a bit too high, and the oxygen content is low, so some of them need to be diverted.Because of the humidity and dense living, many people showed signs of skin diseases.

"Everyone needs to be fed an antibiotic with their meals ... that can be put in the water they drink."

This reminded Wu Xiaoqing of the chicken farms in the village. When the chickens got sick, the chicken owners always did this.

"You can let people out properly during the day, but you have to take turns to let them out according to the number plate. Let's go and see the women's camp. The situation there may be better."

Actually not.

The women's camp was cleaner than the men's camp, but the problem was just as serious - because the weak tended to have a greater fear of danger than the strong.In many women's camps, there are even many old people. When they saw Wu Xiaoqing, they took the initiative to ask themselves to bear the responsibility of being a sacrifice-no matter how the search and rescue team explained, they still could not believe that the envoy locked everyone in the cave. Here is for their good.

The last cave that was spot-checked was located at the outermost edge, and the people living in it were also the group of people who were most affected by the Yingtsun incident.When Wu Xiaoqing was about to ask the soldiers outside to open the door, the officer in charge replied, "My lord, they locked the door from the inside!"

Through the glasses, Wu Xiaoqing can easily find that the "prisoners" in this cave have arranged many strong men at the gate - they have obviously regarded the Elis soldiers outside as enemies.Inside the cave, a dozen people were holding hammers and chisels they didn't know where they got, trying to carve out an escape passage in the cave.

Because soldiers and "prisoners" have been completely separated at this time, many disciplines formed since the march, including eating and drinking, and distributing supplies, do not exist. The original normal management order between soldiers and ordinary people has been disrupted. It turned into a confrontation between the jailer and the prisoner.The guarding soldiers obviously didn't know what the prisoners were going to do inside. The search and rescue team severely reprimanded their officers: "Why didn't you report? How long have the people inside not eaten?"

"Two days...but they all said they were not hungry." It seems that the officer didn't even know what happened.The order he received was not to allow anyone to run out alone. In this sense, he was still doing his duty.A large amount of food was transported into each cave for the prisoners to use themselves. Since these prisoners said they were not hungry, he didn't bother to send someone to help them get food.

The search and rescue team immediately contacted Wang Youquan who was beside the king, and half an hour later, Wang Youquan arrived with hundreds of people.

"In the name of King Elis, listen to the people inside, open the door immediately, and come out one by one. If you resist, you will be punished on the spot!"

"Fuck their Ellis!" the person inside shot back, and then someone yelled, "Fuck the angel!"

"We want to be free!"

"free!"

"We're going home!"

"go home!"

Freedom and hometown... These reasons cannot be said to be unreasonable, but it is a pity that Wu Xiaoqing has no way to agree.Now he has begun to understand and sympathize with these people. If from another perspective, a group of aliens came to the earth and tricked all earth people into the mountains like this, and locked them in caves, he would believe that these aliens were To save mankind?

But believe it or not, it doesn't matter at all at this point. The whole rescue plan has been carried out to this point, and it is impossible for these people to shout a few times to produce any changes.

The fragile wooden fence was easily dismantled, and the prisoners inside took the opportunity to stretch out spears made of wood from inside in an attempt to resist.Wang Youquan told everyone to back off, and then he opened the schoolbag he carried, and after opening, he took out all the things in the schoolbag one by one.

It was a gun. They were originally going to use it in siege battles or when they disrupted the opponent's formation in field battles, but unexpectedly, they ended up using it on their own heads.

A dozen guns were thrown in at one go, and the people inside coughed and ran out of the cave immediately.After walking out of the range of the gun, everyone had no choice but to lie on the ground and gasp for breath, completely unable to resist.

After the air mist dissipated, everyone was tied up with nylon ropes on their right hands, and then they were pushed in again.Wu Xiaoqing went in to check the situation in the cave. He noticed that in order to resist possible attacks, the prisoners had set up traps and prepared a lot of small stones to smash them.In the cave, some cold light lamps left for them to be used for lighting have been smashed to pieces, and the simple generator specially designed to charge the battery has also been smashed - leaving only one lamp, which is used to For digging tunnels.

The results of the interrogation of these people showed that they smashed these things because they thought they were artifacts of the devil—they can emit light but have no heat. This is simply a will-o'-the-wisp burning with human souls!As for the generator, people need to shake it every day, and then support the lights to continue to light up. Everyone has every reason to suspect that this thing works by absorbing people's souls!

Although it has only been two days, they have already dug the tunnel three or four meters away. On the one hand, it is because the rock here is corroded by water and it is easy to dig. On the other hand, it can be seen that these people are very motivated to work. High - the desire to escape is very strong.
