Chapter 343: The Underground Voice(1/2)
Although the champion status of Chen Zhe and Cheng Yaner in the live broadcast room of the wilderness survival has been confirmed, Chen Zhe and the others do not know this, and they think the game is not over yet.
In addition, the long-lost Wu Meiqi has not been found yet, so their island trip naturally cannot be ended.
At this time, the island, which had been gloomy for two days, finally ushered in the rainfall again. The drizzle immediately fell in the rain forest. As the wind gradually increased, it was believed that the light rain would turn into a heavy rain in a short while.
"We have to find a place to shelter from the rain first, and then find a way to contact the rescue team." Chen Zhe turned around and said to Meixi and the others, and everyone nodded repeatedly.
So Chen Zhe took them through the rain forest, looking for places to shelter from the wind and rain along the way. When they walked about one kilometer, everyone was already wet.
Although the rain was not heavy, it was very detailed. Chen Zhe looked back at Yan'er and Meixi worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "How is it, are you two okay?"
"It's okay, I can hold on." Yan'er said with a smile.
"I can do it too. The fog on the island these days is already normal and it is wet all over. It's nothing..." Meixi also said freely.
"That's good. We try to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible." Chen Zhe whispered.
After walking a few more steps forward, the rain gradually became heavier. Just when Chen Zhe was about to despair, he found that there seemed to be a cave on the hillside ahead.
"It's really a road ahead." Chen Zhe smiled on his face, pointed at the cave, and said, "Snap a few steps and let's go to the cave to shelter from the rain."
"Okay, okay."
The girls nodded repeatedly, and followed Chen Zhe and walked into the cave.
After walking and running all the way, Chen Zhe and the others finally arrived in the cave. The cave looked quite spacious, but it was very deep inside. At first glance, they couldn't see how deep it was.
Meixi looked at the cave vigilantly, then asked Chen Zhe, "Chen Zhe, do you think this is not a nest for some beast, right?"
When Yan'er heard this, she became nervous and said nervously: "Yes, Chen Zhe, there should be no beast here, right?"
"This is hard to say." Chen Zhe shrugged, and he didn't dare to guarantee it.
But he had an idea: "If you want to know if there are any beasts in the cave, just shoot them inside."
After saying that, he picked up the sniper rifle and pointed the muzzle into the depths of the cave.
"If there is a reaction in this shot, there is no doubt that this is definitely the nest of the beast. Then let's run away quickly. Even if it is wet, it is better than sending it to the beast's mouth by itself.
But if there is no reaction inside, then congratulations to everyone, we have found a good place to hide from the rain naturally." Chen Zhe said with a smile.
Yan'er and the others nodded one after another, waiting for Chen Zhe to shoot and test.
Chen Zhe took a deep breath and shot a shot into the cave.
Kang--!
The loud sound of the sniper rifle shocked the cave and some mud on the rock wall even fell.
The girls couldn't help but cover their ears and frowned. In such a semi-closed environment, the sound of the sniper rifle was too loud.
Within a few seconds after the sniper rifle was fired, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from the cave, and then a group of bats flew out from the depths of the cave and flew out towards the rain outside.
Although there are not many bats, this animal looks ugly and disgusting, which still scares Yan'er. Meixi and the two girls hugged their heads and screamed.
And when the group of bats flew out, there was no other sound in the cave, only the long gunshots were echoing for a long time.
Chen Zhe showed a gratified smile on his face and turned around and said, "It seems that this place is safe, not a hiding place for any terrifying monster."
"Well, it seems that's true..." Meixi also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just that the bats just now were too scary."
"Just fly out, it shouldn't affect us anymore. Let's take a rest in the cave for the time being." Chen Zhe said.
After saying that, he took out some dry firewood he carried with him and hung it against the rock wall, wait for it to dry and then set it on fire and ignite it.
It’s a pity that after the rain outside, the original “dry firewood” has also become “wet firewood”.
Meixi, Yan'er and two camera guys were all tired and hungry all the way. Chen Zhe gave everyone some of the dry food he carried with him and asked them to rest on the spot first.
Chen Zhe himself also spent a lot of energy, and the rain was rumbling outside and the weather was gloomy. This dull environment was easy to make people sleepy. Everyone found a place to lie down and rest, and soon they fell asleep one after another.
I was so drowsy that I didn’t know how long I had slept. When Chen Zhe woke up, the cave was already pitch black.
I don’t know if it was because it was night or because it was cloudy outside, it was too cloudy, but the cave was pitch black and I could barely see the outline of the object.
Chen Zhe came to the drying position in the dark and touched the firewood. Although it was still a bit turbulent, some of them were already dry.
He lit the fire with flint, and he lit the bonfire first.
After the bonfire, the situation in the cave could be clearly presented to you. Meixi and Yan'er were both lying on the ground and asleep, while the two cameramen were lying on the other side of the cave.
Seeing that everyone was sleeping soundly, Chen Zhe did not disturb them. Perhaps after they woke up, the heavy rain would pass.
There was still thunder rumbling outside the cave, and the rain on the ground had accumulated a thick layer. Chen Zhe even worried that the rain would accumulate more and more, and then poured back into the cave.
Listening to the crackling sound of rain falling into the puddle and looking at the dim bonfire swaying gently in the wind, Chen Zhe stretched and prepared to lie down and sleep for a while.
However, at this moment, a sound of nothingness came from the depths of the cave.
"Help...Help...Is there anyone...Help..."
At first, Chen Zhe thought it was his auditory hallucination. After all, the sound of rain and thunder outside was very noisy. In this noisy environment, some illusions may occur, but soon he realized that this was not his auditory hallucination, but that someone was really asking for help in the depths of the cave.
"Help……"
"Help..."
"Save us..."
The sound was very far away, as if it was coming from a distant underground, but this sound did exist, and Chen Zhe could clearly distinguish it.
At first, Chen Zhe felt that things were a bit strange, even a little supernatural.
Screams came from this cave in the wilderness, which was simply an excellent material for making ghost movies.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this call for help was both male and female, the male voice was a bit mature and old-fashioned, but the female voice was quite young and sweet. Could it be that the long-lost Meiqi Wu and her partner Lao Wei?
"Did Wu Meiqi and her group of people who were in a vain hide in this cave, so I heard their voices?" Chen Zhe said in surprise.
But if they were really in the cave, why did the sound sound like it came from the ground?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but it was not easy to stop him from helping him. He immediately put on a sniper rifle, picked up a burning firewood as a torch, and prepared to go to the place where the sound came to find out.
At this moment, Meixi, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up when she heard the movement, stood up and looked at Chen Zhe, and asked curiously: "Chen Zhe, where are you going?"
Chen Zhe did not answer directly, but pointed to the depths of the cave and said, "Listen."
Meixi listened with her ears on her ears, and there was a vague sound from the depths of the cave.
"Save me..."
"Help……"
"Save us..."
Meixi couldn't help but take a breath and said in surprise: "This is...what's the sound?"
"It should be Wu Meiqi's group. They seem to be in the depths of the cave." Chen Zhe said, "It sounds like they are trapped by something, so they have been asking for help."
"Then let's go over and take a look?" Meixi asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Chen Zhe nodded, not rejecting Meixi.
The cave is dark and deep, and no one knows what kind of danger is hidden inside. One person has more resources, and it can be considered as a way to take care of each other.
So the two of them each carried a dry firewood to make torches and walked shoulder to shoulder toward the depths of the cave. They did not wake up Yan'er and the other two cameramen, so that they could sleep peacefully for the time being.
Walking along the cave, the environment of the cave became increasingly narrow. Meixi was a little scared. The hand that did not hold the torch could not help but hold Chen Zhe's hand.
Chen Zhe did not refuse, let Meixi lead him gently, and the two continued to move forward and took a few more steps forward. The call for help in the cave became more real.
"Help……"
"Save us..."
At this time, Meixi clearly identified that the voice seemed to be coming from the underground, which made her even more creepy and said nervously: "Chen Zhe, what's going on? Why did I hear this voice... it seems to be coming from the underground?"
"It seems that's true..." Chen Zhe nodded slightly and said, "It's strange, is there a cave under this cave?"
Speaking of this, the two of them took two more steps forward. At this time, the flames on the torch on their hands shook, and it was obvious that the wind was blowing out from the depths of the cave in front.
"What's the situation?" Chen Zhe frowned and said in surprise, "There is wind blowing out in this cave? Is there an exit on the other end?"
"Chen Zhe, look here..." At this time, Meixi suddenly pointed to a position not far away and said, then she walked over quickly, stretched out her slender jade feet and kicked that position. Chen Zhe suddenly heard a metal collision.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
This sound made Chen Zhe feel incredible - on this island, in this completely primitive natural environment, the sound of metal collision can still be made?
Curious, Chen Zhe walked over quickly, and the torch shook down, and he suddenly realized.
I saw that there was a long and narrow metal passage in the position where Meixi kicked. This metal passage stretched under the cave, and some of it was exposed outside.
This metal passage is obviously made by humans, and it is a very common metal ventilation duct in office buildings or warehouses.
"Chen Zhe, it seems like a human building below the cave..." Meixi whispered, "Is your guess correct? There is really a human-built laboratory here?"
"It does seem like this." Chen Zhe nodded, "but the location of this island is in the high seas at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and the division of the island's jurisdiction has been unclear since ancient times. I don't know which country the underground laboratory was built by this island, and what it was built for..."
"I think it's probably for animal experiments." Meixi said, "There are so many mutant animals appearing one after another on the west side of the island, which must be related to this laboratory."
"Yes." Chen Zhe nodded slightly, "I think this should be the case."
Before he finished speaking, he heard another call for help from the ventilation duct.
To be continued...
