I am a super cop

Chapter 2673 Explorer's Face
Xu Enping is not exaggerating. He is a senior explorer and enjoys a certain reputation in the outdoor circle of Jiangnan City.

And this time, he was really a little scared, which Gu Chen could easily see from Xu Enping's performance.

Because of this cave, no one was mentally prepared beforehand and everyone thought it was just a small and not very deep cave.

But after walking such a long distance, Xu Enping discovered that this hole was much larger than he had imagined.

This far exceeded Xu Enping's previous psychological expectations.

Therefore, if he continued at this time, Xu Enping was afraid that his life would be in danger.

After all, the more adventures people have experienced, the more they respect nature and cherish their lives.

However, since the whereabouts of the two guides had already been discovered, Gu Chen could not just retreat.

This was most likely the closest Gu Chen had ever been to these two guides.

If we give up just like that, then it would be extremely difficult to find out more information about the two guides and Xu Yaxuan.

Gu Chen also made his own choice after careful consideration: "Mr. Xu, I think you and your team should temporarily withdraw and follow the marks we made when we came here."

"Leave these caving equipment to us. Let's go ahead and take another look."

"If we really can't find any trace of these two guides, we can just go back the same way. What do you think?"

"Officer Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen was still insisting on doing so, Xu Enping couldn't help but feel a little scared. He also took a step forward and spoke to Gu Chen earnestly:
"Officer Gu, I admire your courage, but this is an expedition, an exploration of nature. The power of nature is far more terrifying than you can imagine."

"You said if you come up with three long two... Ugh!"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xu Enping quickly said "Pooh" and then said:

"If you get into danger, it will be really troublesome."

"It doesn't matter. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will protect myself. When I can't go on, I will give up decisively."

After a pause, Gu Chen patted Xu Enping on the shoulder and said gratefully:
"We are very grateful that you have accompanied us all the way here, but we are human police officers. We need to find Xu Yaxuan and the two guides."

"This is where we blame ourselves, so we must continue searching for this cave."

"Okay." Feeling that Gu Chen was also very persistent, Xu Enping was also impressed by Gu Chen's courage and magnanimity.

Thinking that I am also in the outdoor circle, senior outdoor people also have to call me Teacher Xu.

If I come out in such a mess this time, I will leave these policemen to search for clues in the cave.

If this gets out, how will I continue to stay in the outdoor circle in Jiangnan City?

Wouldn't you be laughed to death by these people in the circle?

Xu Enping is also a decent person and a person who values ​​face. He will not allow himself to be known as a coward.

After all, he was accompanied by several young guides, all of whom had joined because of his fame.

If I go out at this time, these people will definitely spread the news.

Thinking of this, Xu Enping was in a dilemma, but he finally made a decision and said:

"How about this, I'll have my team members evacuate first and meet you at the cave entrance."

"And I will continue to go in with you. If you really can't go on, don't force it. Even if you withdraw, what do you think?"

"Okay." Seeing Xu Enping hesitated for a long time, he finally decided to follow everyone.

Gu Chen was very pleased. After all, he also needed an explorer like Xu Enping by his side.

His staying will provide me with a lot of help.

There is also Xu Enping's experience, which Gu Chen does not have.

So everyone discussed it in the cave, and the other three guides retreated along the original route, but left behind a high-power flashlight.

Gu Chen and his companions continued to walk deeper into the cave.

The rocks here are of strange shapes, and the underground river is right at your feet.

Since there was a rift valley inside, everyone had to be extremely alert while walking along the cliff in the cave.

Because some water drops from the top of the cave, and after thousands of years of erosion, the water in the cave has made the ground in the cave smoother.

Therefore, when walking on these roads, everyone's feet will be a little slippery.

"Everyone, be careful. Take out your trekking poles, explore the road first, and try the grip under your feet. If it is too slippery, stop immediately."

While Xu Enping was warning everyone, he also started to try to pass through these slippery sections himself.

Turning his head to look at everyone behind him, Xu Enping pointed to the rift valley next to him and continued, "There is an underground river next to it. I'm telling you, if you fall in, there is no chance of survival. You must be careful."

"Understood." Seeing Xu Enping say this, everyone responded in unison.

After all, with Xu Enping around, everyone can learn something.

"Let's go." Seeing that everyone seemed to be cautious, Xu Enping continued to explore the way ahead.

Although everyone was walking on a narrow cliff road in the cave, there was a deep rift at their feet.

In the middle of the rift valley is a turbulent underground river.

But everyone was still able to pass safely.

After passing through the narrow rift passage, everyone came to a slightly spacious cave, and Xu Enping's tense nerves finally felt a little relieved.

He also sighed, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said breathlessly: "The road just now was really scary."

Glancing in the direction of Gu Chen, Xu Enping continued, "Officer Gu, to be honest, I was really scared just now, because I knew that if my feet slipped, there would be no chance of me surviving."

"If I hadn't been moved by your sense of mission, I would definitely not have taken you on."

"You seemed very calm just now." Gu Chen said.

"That's all pretending." At this moment, Xu Enping didn't care about the so-called face, and said directly to himself:
"As an explorer, it would be embarrassing for me if I backed down at this time."

"After all, I have been in the outdoor circle of Jiangnan City for many years. My reputation is accumulated through adventures one after another."

"But once a person has some fame, he or she will have the burden of being an idol. If I choose to back down this time, then my fame will probably vanish into thin air."

"So you care about your reputation?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but teasing when she heard it.

"Of course." Xu Enping grinned and opened his heart to communicate with everyone:
"You may not know this, but I didn't have so many feelings before. When I first started playing outdoors, it was purely for my own hobby." "But I didn't expect that I would find that my influence was getting bigger and bigger. Many outdoor gurus were recommending me to others, saying that I was a big shot in outdoor adventures, blah blah."

After a pause, Xu Enping continued to explain: "As you know, the outdoor circle is a place where people brag to each other."

"But once your personality is established, everyone will think you are an outdoor guy, and then you will naturally have the burden of being an idol."

"At this time, face is very important."

At the end of his speech, Xu Enping did not forget to pat his face.

"Hahahaha." Seeing this, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but burst into laughter and waved her hand and said:
"I really didn't expect that your circle has so many tricks."

"I used to think that explorers were really amazing and could go to many mysterious places."

"At that time, it felt like your status was very high, and the gap between you and us was huge."

"But after listening to what you said just now, I suddenly felt that you also get scared sometimes, and you are actually ordinary people."

"Isn't that right?" Seeing Yuan Shasha's teasing, Xu Enping also laughed at himself:

"We are just ordinary people. Those legendary experiences are just hyped up by others."

“So, sometimes there’s really nothing you can do.”

After a pause, Xu Enping continued: "Just like this time, I followed you into this cave."

"If you weren't investigating the case, I would just take a few photos outside the cave, then go inside the cave, come to a decent place, take some videos and photos, and then go out directly."

"If you have these things, others will think you are a big shot. After all, you are the only one who has been to these places, and others only perceive themselves through your photos, so you must be very powerful."

With a faint sigh, Xu Enping also joked to himself: "So, sometimes I am also quite vain."

"But aren't you doing something great now? At least you have reached the depths of the cave. This is a breakthrough for yourself."

After listening to Xu Enping's story, Officer Wang couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Enping nodded silently and smiled teasingly: "Actually, I really don't have too many ideas, I just want to come and take a look at this place."

"I originally thought that this was a small cave, but I didn't expect that the depth and complexity of the cave far exceeded my imagination."

"Especially when I found out there were underground rifts and dark rivers, I started to panic because it was really dangerous, so I was a little scared."

"I'm scared too." As soon as Xu Enping finished speaking, Officer Wang also said self-jokingly.

Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The tense atmosphere just now was also eased by everyone's laughter.

Gu Chen also said slowly: "It's rare that Teacher Xu can open his heart to us, which is good, but our goal this time has not been achieved yet."

"We haven't found the two guides yet, nor have we found Xu Yaxuan, so, has everyone rested enough? We have to continue on our journey."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, everyone who had been resting just now suddenly became alert and stood up immediately.

Everyone lined up neatly and cheered each other on.

Because the closer it gets to this time, the stronger the fear will be.

Because everyone has gone several kilometers deep into the cave, this means that if an accident occurs, no one will be able to get out.

At this time, it is necessary to be courageous.

After Xu Enping explained some precautions to everyone, he still walked in the front row of the team.

Maybe he figured it out himself. Since he was already here and had come such a long way, this little bit wouldn't make any difference.

If he was trapped in the cave, it would be his fate, so Xu Enping accepted it.

Gu Chen also followed closely behind, keeping himself absolutely focused at all times.

If there is an emergency ahead, Gu Chen will be able to protect Xu Enping in the first place.

Everyone was joking and talking to each other as they walked forward, because this could eliminate fear and make everyone forget about time and space.

But Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were still measuring the distance with the green rope.

I don’t know how long we walked, but after passing through two narrow passages, we passed through three larger spaces.

There are many caves here, but Gu Chen and his companions successfully found the route they had taken through the marks left by the previous people.

Lu Weiwei was walking in disbelief: "How did these people run so far? How far have they walked? Are they here to mine? Are they having so much fun?"

"Maybe it was Xu Yaxuan's idea?" Yuan Shasha also guessed:
"Xu Yaxuan gives me the feeling that she is unpredictable and no one can understand her through her personality."

"Besides, she always makes something bold that you can't figure out."

"Anyway, based on my understanding of Xu Yaxuan, she is simply a bit scary, especially since she may have a dual personality. This kind of person is the scariest."

"You can't tell whether she is good or evil?"

"That's right." Seeing Yuan Shasha say this, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh:
"We have handled so many cases, but the ones we fear most are people with dual personalities."

"Because this doesn't require acting, deep down inside there are two personalities, and they switch from time to time."

"You think you're talking to a good person, but in the blink of an eye, the other person's vicious side will swallow you up in an instant, and you won't even notice it."

Speaking of this, Officer Wang also sighed and couldn't help but sigh:

"I've suffered too many losses like this before, so I've always felt that Xu Yaxuan is not a simple person."

"She might be the root of all these events. Who knows."

"Yeah, I agree with what Senior Brother Wang said." Seeing that Officer Wang's words made sense, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say a few words of praise to satisfy Comrade Lao Wang's vanity.

But at this moment, Lu Weiwei discovered that Gu Chen suddenly appeared at the entrance of a cave in the distance.

So Lu Weiwei quickly called out, "Junior Brother Gu, don't stay too far away from us. It's very dangerous."

The sound spread in the empty cave, echoing loudly, but Gu Chen's flashlight suddenly went out when Lu Weiwei finished speaking.

It was as if the whole person disappeared out of thin air.
