Secret 1

Chapter 11 Despair (2)
Ye Xiao couldn't help but nodded and said: "So this is the loud noise we heard last night, no wonder the house was shaking."

Suddenly, a big rock fell from the top of his head and hit him heavily.Sun Tzuchu hurriedly pulled him down and said, "It's your fate! Escape quickly."

The three quickly fled back to the car, and Tong Jianguo had already turned the car around with difficulty—if the car was any bigger, like a tourist bus, it would definitely be stuck in the tunnel.

It was like raining on the top of the head, with countless small stones, Tong Jianguo stepped on the accelerator and drove back.Qian Mozheng looked at the back and shouted: "This tunnel is very unstable, and it is likely to collapse again. We must escape quickly!"

Before the words were finished, another big rock was thrown at them...

deadly tunnel.

Crazy stone.

The car drove forward even more frantically, and the rock hit the trunk firmly, and the rear window was shattered at the same time.The whole car shook violently, and they almost vomited their dinner.Fortunately, the car has not overturned, and the trunk has basically been smashed.But this broken car was still able to drive. Tong Jianguo continued to step on the accelerator and turned two corners in a very thrilling manner, avoiding the rain of stones above his head.

Three minutes later, they finally escaped from the tiger's mouth and drove out of the tunnel in a panic.Rumbling voices continued to come from behind, and they glanced at each other again, each with pale complexions.

"Failed to break through the level! GAME OVER." Sun Zichu let out a long breath: "This is really the belly of the mirage, we were almost buried in it."

"It's so bad, we've got nowhere to go."

Qian Mozheng's forehead was slightly scratched, and the window glass next to him was also shattered.

"No, we can definitely find another way to escape." Tong Jianguo, who is in his fifties, has not lost confidence. He is also encouraging the other three people, "As long as you are alive, there is still hope."

The car drove down the slope with black smoke, and once again came to the billboard for entering the city. Andy Lau smiled even brighter, as if he was mocking them.

Ye Xiao also gave a wry smile: "Hua Zai, are you kidding us that we can't get out?"

At 19:[-], the Toyota returned to the alley where it started.The rest of the tour group had already gotten impatient.But when they saw the car, they were all dumbfounded - the roof was covered in debris, the trunk was gone, several windows were shattered, and the whole car looked like it had just come back from the [-]th floor of hell .

The four people got out of the car with difficulty, all of them were disheartened, and Qian Mozheng was bleeding a little.Tu Nan was the first to rush up to them and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you found a way out?"

Qian Mozheng shook his head expressionlessly, just lowered his head to check whether the camera in the bag was damaged.Yuling went up and handed everyone a bottle of water, which was boiled in the residential building just now, and they can be safely drunk.

Ye Xiao gulped down the warm water, scratched his hair and sat down on the steps, looking at the people around him.In fact, he checked the number of people in his mind, and when he saw that there were not many of them, he told everyone: "Sorry, the tunnel is closed."

The rest of the people were in a commotion, shouting what's going on?

Afterwards, Sun Tzuchu explained in detail, and everyone understood what was going on with the loud noise last night.

"So it wasn't an earthquake." Lin Junru stepped aside in despair, "It cut off our way of no return."

Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they whispered to each other to find a way.The bride Tang Xiaotian couldn't help crying, so Yang Mou had to put down the DV and hug his wife. Cheng Jian, who is in his 40s, can't stop pacing, looking back at his wife and daughter coldly.Only Frenchman Henry couldn't understand anything, and sat under a big tree in a daze.

"I suspect this is a conspiracy!" Tu Nan suddenly stood in front of Yu Ling, looking straight into the girl's eyes, "How can such a coincidence happen? There was a mudslide as soon as we entered the mountain, and then we got lost and came to this ghost place , the tour guide and the driver died in a blink of an eye, and now you are the only one left to lead us—and who are you?"

Yu Ling opened her eyes innocently: "You, do you doubt me?"

"Yes, I wonder where you came from suddenly? Even our tour guide, Xiao Fang, didn't see you for the first time? Who is our escort? Is her name Yu Ling? ? And Yuling is your name?"

These aggressive words made Yu Ling retreat to the base of the wall, but she didn't know how to answer, which also aroused the suspicion of other people.But at this time Tong Jianguo stopped Tu Nan, pushed him away and said, "Don't embarrass this girl anymore! These doubts are all your imagination, be careful if you talk nonsense, I'm not polite to you!"

Tu Nan didn't dare to talk back to the oldest man in the tour group. Tong Jianguo was very good at fighting.Tu Nan could only step back angrily, trying to hold back the anger in his heart.

Tong Jianguo pulled Yu Ling to his side and said like a leader: "Our situation is indeed very dangerous now, but this way we have to help each other and help each other. One person's business is the common business of all. Don't be blind to each other. suspicion."

Ye Xiao and Sun Zichu also lowered their heads and exchanged a few words, and then Sun Zichu said to everyone: "Tong Jianguo is right, we will definitely find a way out. Now, we must investigate the situation of this city and see See if there are other people, or if there is any equipment to communicate with the outside world. Otherwise, you will know nothing about this place, and you will not feel at ease staying here."

"I agree." The American girl Yi Lianna spoke, perhaps Sun Zichu's suggestion was in line with the American style, "Let's go now, I'm afraid we will discover more secrets."

"Okay, but we can't all go out, we have to have someone stay here to take care of the luggage, the wounded and the children."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at the Frenchman Henry and the 15-year-old Cheng Qiuqiu.

At this time, Cheng Cheng said: "I will stay here, I will take care of my wife and daughter."

"Okay, I want to go out in three groups, each group is three to four people, keep a distance from each other and don't go far."

"Let me take the first group!" Tong Jianguo volunteered to stand up, "Who would like to ride in my car?"

(Well, why did it become his car all of a sudden?)
Everyone looked back at the broken Toyota. Except for the windshield, it seemed that it was "wrecked".But Qian Mozheng still raised his hand: "I am willing."

And Yuling also walked behind Tong Jianguo and said, "Let me go too, I have this responsibility."

The fourth person is Yang Mou. He let go of his little wife and walked to the side of the broken car with the DV in his hands: "Count me in."

Tang Xiaotian pulled him hard, and said softly: "This city is very dangerous, don't go."

"It's okay, you know I'm the director of the documentary, I must take these precious shots. You stay here and wait for me to come back safely."

"do not leave me."

Her tears fell again, but Yang Mou still bid farewell to her bride and was the first to sit in the back seat of the broken car.Then, the other three also got into the car.

Before Tong Jianguo started the car, Ye Xiao said to them: "Please pay attention to the time, you must be back here before 12:30!"

After finishing speaking, Tong Jianguo started the car, puffing out black smoke and leaving everyone's sight.

Ye Xiao said to everyone again: "Call the second group now, and I will be in charge. Who will follow me?"

Just when Sun Zichu was about to speak, Ye Xiao said first: "Don't interrupt, you are in charge of the third group."

Everyone was silent for a moment, wondering what would happen if he followed him.At this moment, the female singer named Dingding said: "I'll go with you."

This surprised Ye Xiao, he walked up to Ding Ding and stared at those big and bright eyes.These are the eyes, the eyes reflected in the dim mirror when I came out of the toilet yesterday afternoon.Indeed some familiar, deja vu as if so far away.Yes, her name is Dingding——Ye Xiao said softly, "I remember your name."

"Yes, I want to join your group." Ding Ding shrugged his shoulders and said with a straight nose, "I have been to Ngari in Tibet, and now this kind of place can't trouble me."

"Okay." Ye Xiao nodded, then turned around and asked the others, "Who else is willing to follow me?"

"Let me do it."

Tu Nan put on his sunglasses again, looking like he was in The Matrix.

Ye Xiao looked at Ding Ding and Tu Nan beside him, then at Sun Zichu and said, "Choose the third group."

Sun Tzuchu glanced at Lin Junru. This girl didn't look like the Taiwanese in general impression. He twitched his lips and said, "Will you come with me?"

"Just go, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Junru replied in disgust, and strode to his side.Then Li Shu also took the initiative to join Sun Tzuchu's third group.

The three groups of men and horses have been finalized, and the rest are left behind.Ye Xiao scanned around carefully: Cheng Cheng, Huang Wanran, Qiuqiu, Yi Lianna, Tang Xiaotian, and the Frenchman Henry.

Ye Xiao walked up to Jiancheng and said, "Except for the injured Henry, you are the only man here. You must protect them at every step, and don't go anywhere else."

"Okay, but you don't necessarily have to stay here, right?" Cheng Cheng looked back at the residential building and said, "We still have sick and wounded people, so I suggest you go back to the building to rest."

"Then it's in the room on the second floor. It's convenient to come out in case of emergency. In case of emergency, you can get a pile of rags and light it downstairs. We will come back as soon as we see the smoke!"

All the left-behind staff heard clearly, and two men and four women dragged the luggage of the entire tour group and returned to the room on the second floor.

Now, Ye Xiao looked at the "team members" of the second and third groups, and calmly said, "Let's go!"

When Ye Xiao and Sun Zichu set off separately, Tong Jianguo's first group had already driven a long way.

The dilapidated Toyota car jolted dizzily, and Yang Mou, who was sitting in the back row, had to put down the DV and clean up the broken glass with Yu Ling, and there was no window glass or trunk behind them.The car didn't drive out of the city like it did in the morning, but drove deeper into the road.

The big banyan trees on both sides are more lush, each with a long "beard".This area seems to be a residential area, with the entrances of residential buildings on both sides, usually deep laneways, and green trees in the garden behind the high walls.It seems that the environment here is still very good, and the few shops also serve life, such as small supermarkets and laundry shops.

Qian Mozheng on the co-pilot's seat couldn't take his eyes off, and took pictures with his camera from time to time.But after driving for more than ten minutes, no one was seen.The car has crossed several cross-roads. Judging from this, the city is really not small.Yang Mou kept holding the DV, and he asked while filming, "Do you still remember the way back?"

Tong Jianguo replied calmly: "Don't worry, I won't forget."

As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel to the left and turned into a wider road.As soon as he turned the corner, Yang Mou yelled, "Stop!"

It turned out that there was a bank on the left side of the road.

Nanming Bank.

These four gold-plated characters were inlaid on the gate of the bank. Before Tong Jianguo could stop the car, Qian Mozheng and Yang Mou jumped down, and Yuling followed excitedly.The door of the bank was still open, and all four of them rushed in, like robbers robbing a bank.

The dusty bank hall—deadly silent, nearly [-] square meters, is very similar to a domestic bank business hall, with seats outside and windows inside, but no ATM machine is found, maybe there is no need to swipe cards here.

Every step would stir up dust, and the sound of their footsteps could be heard everywhere, and Yu Ling couldn't help covering her nose.Tong Jianguo walked to the window and knocked on the glass of the counter. Sure enough, it was the latest bulletproof glass. It seems that the bank's hardware facilities are not bad.They were too lazy to shout "Is anyone there?", but looked at everything in the bank curiously.

It's the first time I've been to such a bank. There are no customers, no salespersons, and no security guards.Qian Mozheng pulled the iron door into the backstage, but it was still tightly locked.But he could flip over from the top of the bulletproof glass, so he simply climbed onto the counter.The glass of the bank is extremely strong. Holding the top edge of the glass with one hand, he insisted on climbing to the height close to the ceiling. Years of field photography made him a good skill.

Yang Mou's DV camera kept pointing at him until Qian Mozheng climbed through the bulletproof glass and entered the inside of the bank counter—this is a serious crime of bank robbery.Yu Ling did not forget to accompany her duty, and shouted at him: "What do you want to do?"

"I've never been in the backstage of a bank before! Today is just an eye-opener."

As he spoke, he opened the security door between the backstage and the hall, and let all three companions in.Yang Mou kept filming the DV and sighed, "It's also the first time I've been to this kind of place."

Tong Jianguo opened the drawer behind the counter like a thief, and there was cash in it!Stacks of Thai baht are placed neatly, and there are many scattered account books, stamps, coins, fingerprint buttons, etc. on the counter, as if the salesperson just left the cabinet to go to the toilet?But he immediately closed the drawer, and he didn't find the excitement of the windfall, but became more depressed and heavy.

What is going on here?Make people disappear without even thinking about the huge amount of cash in the drawer?
And Qian Mozheng has already pushed open a door, beckoning others to go in with him, it turns out that inside is the legendary treasury.

But the door of the vault was still firmly locked, and the key could not be found for a while, so Qian Mozheng concluded that it was full of money.

"You don't really want to rob a bank, do you?"

Holding the DV, Yang Mou asked half-jokingly.But Qian Mozheng turned his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's get out of here."

The four quickly ran out of the bank and returned to the miserable Toyota.Before starting the car, Tong Jianguo looked at the bank's signboard again: "Nanming Bank? I've never heard of it. Is it a Thai bank?"

Yu Ling, who is a native of Thailand, replied: "No, there is no such bank in Thailand, and I have never heard of it."

Then, the car continued to drive forward.The shops on both sides of the road are bigger and more, there are restaurants and hot pot restaurants with large facades, and there is even a Japanese restaurant!There are also a few cars parked on the side of the road, all European and American brands assembled in Thailand, but all of these cars have no license plates.It seems that this is the main commercial street, no wonder the bank also opened here, it must have been prosperous once.

It didn't take long to see a post office, and the signboard at the door was also "Nanming Post" in traditional Chinese.Tong Jianguo stopped the car and took a look. There was still no one in the post office, and the lobby and windows were covered with dust.Compared with the bank just now, they easily entered the backstage of the post office.There were still a lot of mail inside, and the envelopes were affixed with Thai stamps, but the postmarks were "Nanming Post" in Chinese pinyin.Yu Ling shook her head after reading it, saying that she had never seen such a strange postmark.Inside the parcel counter, they saw packages destined for other parts of Thailand, as well as around the world.

But Qian Mozheng paid special attention to the sender's address, and what was written in one of the packages——

Zhang Xiaochun, Room 78, No. [-], Zhongxiao Road, Nanming City, Golden Triangle

Everyone was very interested in this address. Yang Mou took a close-up of the DV and said, "Golden Triangle? My God, this is actually the Golden Triangle."

"Yes, this is probably the junction of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, and it is also the world-famous Golden Triangle drug base!" The well-informed Qian Mozheng replied, "So this address does not mention Thailand, it is directly the Golden Triangle Nanming City."

"Nanming City!"

"Yes, this is the real name of this city. The 'Nanming Bank' just now is the local bank here, and this 'Nanming Post' is the same."

But Yuling shook her head and asked, "Nanming City? I've never heard of this place."

"At least, now we know where we are - Nanming City, Nanming City in the Golden Triangle!"

The second group, going through the first crossroads, is heading straight left where they have never been before.

"I found an important problem - we still can't tell the difference between southeast and north!"

The person who spoke was Tu Nan, who was still wearing the same pair of sunglasses, walking in the front with a big swagger.

Afterwards, Ye Xiao flipped through his backpack and found a simple compass.He found that the arrow was pointing to his left hand, so the left was south, and the front was west.The avenue through which the tour group entered the city yesterday was the south entrance of the city.Now, the second group is heading west.

Next to Ye Xiao was Ding Ding. She seemed to have a lot of experience in field activities, and she encouraged Ye Xiao along the way: "In such a big place, it is impossible to have only one way out of the tunnel. There must be other ways out."

"I think I've seen you on TV?"

Ye Xiao changed the subject, looking directly into her eyes all the way.

"Maybe you have seen my performance." Ding Ding made a gesture of singing with a microphone, "I have a lot of troubles recently, so I came to Thailand alone, how about you?"

"Me? I don't know why I came to Thailand."

He looked ahead blankly, and the mountains in the distance were looking at him coldly.Surrounded by monotonously colored houses, most of which are three or four stories high, surrounded by lush green trees, it is hard to see what is in the windows.

The three continued to walk for 10 minutes until Tu Nan stopped in front of a building—the tallest building they had seen in the city, and counted a total of twelve floors.

The downstairs is not open, but there is an entrance to the underground parking lot. Looking at the foyer of the building, it looks like an office building, except that there is thick dust on the glass door.Tu Nan was the first to push the door and go in, followed by Ye Xiao and Ding Ding.

Sure enough, it is the layout of an office building, but the dark hall makes people feel flustered.Of course the house on the twelfth floor has an elevator, but it's still Mitsubishi.The elevator was not working and they went up the stairs.Tu Nan was lighting a flashlight in the corridor, and soon reached the third floor.Pushing open the security door leads to a long corridor, in which are the office rooms of each company.
