Chapter 198 Distress Signal
On the way, I was always worried that this person would not be able to survive and could not have blood infusions or blood transfusions. He could only rely on his own repair power and his will to survive to fight against the god of death.
When Gu Yu went out, he only brought a small amount of food and water. He fed the remaining little to the old man. Fortunately, the old man could still eat, which shows that he still has hope.
However, in the middle of the night, the old man had a high fever. He lost too much blood, and the high fever would consume his physical strength. So Gu Yu and I decided to use teleportation to take the old man back to the small town first.
I drove the car with supplies and continued to follow the plan. My driving skills were free and unrestrained. As long as I didn’t encounter other vehicles, it would be fine to drive the car home.
Before Gu Yu left, I was not allowed to drive at night, so I parked the car on the side of the road and fiddled with the things I found from the farm. There was a hand-cranked electric radio, which integrated the radio, flashlight and charger. I pulled out the antenna and faced the air conditioning station.
In fact, there is a car radio on the off-road vehicle. I am just bored and wandering around with the radio in my arms. I didn’t have any hope, but just to make time. The electric current sound from the radio speaker will make people feel irritated after listening for a long time.
I planned to switch the radio to flashlight and go around the deserted fields on the roadside. I might find wild vegetables and wild fruits, but as soon as my fingers were placed on the switch, a vocal sound came from the speaker.
The voice sounded very weak, and the sentence kept repeating: We are still alive, we are...
The sound of the second half of the sentence was very weak. I put my ear on the radio speaker, listened carefully for a while, and then ran back to the car to take out the map.
We collected maps of all nearby areas to make sure that we won’t get lost when we came out. The location reported on the radio is not far from the road under my feet.
Yuanbao Mountain, the north slope, and the mountainside. Although the other party gave three keys, the area to be searched may be dozens or hundreds of miles.
The voice is so weak that the people who are asking for help may not be able to support me to return to the small town and bring people over. I looked at my watch and it was still long. If I teleport, I should be able to find them faster.
Thinking of this, I drove off the off-road vehicle off the road, hid it in the desert, then picked up the map with the radio, and walked towards Yuanbao Mountain.
The mountains on the map are just a few lines. Fortunately, there is a teleportation device. Otherwise, when I walk to the place, the survivors inside will probably be out of salvation.
Yuanbao Mountain is the same as its name. Under the bright moonlight, I can see its mountain shadow like the "Golden Yuanbao" on the mountain peaks in the distance.
Teleporting to the north slope may be because the lives of people who are asking for help should not be lost. The mountain is not large in area, at least much smaller than I thought.
It is like a golden ingot falling among the mountains, which is particularly easy to recognize. The mountains on the east and west sides are narrow and long from north to south. I moved to the north slope, and the height on the hillside is only more than 100 meters.
After searching along the "waistline" of Yuanbao Mountain, after walking for about ten minutes, I found a hole under a huge rock.
I squatted to the edge of the hole, looked at it, the radio turned into a flashlight, and the call for help inside stopped on the way I came.
Unfortunately, there is not a straight hole below. When the light column of the flashlight encounters an obstacle, it can only shine five to six meters deep.
I was careful, unfolded the rebound cover, and then shouted into the hole and asked if anyone had any.
I stopped and listened after shouting, but no one answered me. Because I didn't know how deep the hole was, I shouted a few times and stopped.
I hung the radio around my neck, turned it into the radio mode again, and climbed down the cave. There were many pits on the wall of the cave, which just happened to be able to step on.
It can be seen from the edge of the hole that this was dug out by hand, so the pits on the hole wall must have been made intentionally by people to facilitate entry and exit.
I guess the person who asked for help was really weak, otherwise I could have crawled out and found a way out. I moved very quickly and went down to the bottom of the hole in just two minutes.
The bottom of the cave is about twenty meters away from the ground, and the second half is a natural stone cave. There are no traces of manual excavation, so it is difficult for this person to find such a hidden place to hide.
The space of the natural cave is similar to the corridor of the school teaching building. It is not as narrow as a hole dug by hand, and it is difficult to even turn around.
"Hey, is anyone?" I shouted as I walked in.
The echo was pushing deeper like a wave. I observed the ground and found a set of shoe prints, but only in and out, and I suddenly felt suspicious.
Although the cave was dug by humans, it was not dug recently. Gu Yu taught me some methods to identify human traces. Judging from the new and old levels of the soil, the cave that came down has been dug for at least several months.
This shows that the person who asked for help came down a few months ago and was trapped. He did not come out again when he went in. Judging from the depth of the footprints, the person who went in did not carry something too heavy.
In other words, if they lived below for several months or even longer, they should have carved a lot of food, water and daily necessities.
There are five pairs of footprints in total. Even if five people eat two meals a day and drink half a bottle of water, they will definitely not be able to consume food and water in a few months.
Is there something to eat below?
When I was exploring something to eat underground, I looked up and found that the cave was over. At the end of the cave, it was not a mountain wall, but a round stone plate.
The stone plate is embedded on the mountain wall. You can tell at a glance that it is made by hand, with carved patterns and birds and beasts on it. The combination of the two is not only beautiful, but also gives people a visual misleading, as if the patterns are rotating, and birds and beasts are chasing each other, connecting tails, and cycling forever.
I blinked my eyes and fixed my eyes on the protruding stone trough next to the stone tray. I walked to the stone tray and knocked it with a dagger.
"Is there anyone inside?" I had a premonition that if the person trapped inside was either an archaeological team, or a tomb robber.
As soon as the knock stopped, a 'bang' sound came from the stone plate, but there was only one sound, no follow-up, but it was enough for me. I knew there were still living people inside and space.
So when I teleported in, I met a pair of eyes full of surprise. The owner of the eyes sat down under the mountain wall facing the stone plate, and his arms hung weakly on both sides of his body. It seemed that he had no place to move except his eyes.
There was a military kettle under the stone tray. It was probably the thing that hit the stone tray with the thud just now.
"Hello, I received your help message. How are you doing now? Where are the others?" I walked to this person and suddenly felt strange. He had no electronic equipment, not even a flashlight, and his clothes were shrunk. I looked around and there was no backpack or something.
He seemed to have no strength to speak, moved his eyes and pointed me in a direction. I didn't smell the blood. He should have no external injuries. Maybe he was hungry. Unfortunately, I didn't eat at all.
I walked in the direction he pointed, and the stone wall he was sitting on could not see upwards, but there was a passage-shaped entrance on both sides. The direction where his eyes were tilted was the entrance to my right.
The scene in front of me made me feel like I was walking into an adventure novel, a dark underground cave, a mysterious team trapped, and a stone plate suspected to be at the gate of the underground palace.
What exactly is this? I think it is definitely not the underground refuge I thought at first, it existed obviously longer.
Inside the entrance is another cave, which is also a natural stone cave. The magical axe of nature creates a natural underground palace.
After only five minutes of walking, I saw something hanging on the ceiling of the cave. It was entangled by a ball of vines. I looked closely and saw it was a person!
The top of this cave is undulating. The lower part has to bend over to pass through, but the higher part is seven or eight meters, and the man is hanging from the top of the high cave.
However, he was already a dead person. I walked over under his feet and continued to go in. Two other corpses were found in the dead pool. There was another corpse that died the most incredible to me. Half of his body was in the mountain wall and half was outside the wall. I don't know how he got in. Anyway, he died here in such a bizarre way.
The cave was formed naturally, but the square stagnant pools and pits were undoubtedly artificially built. I walked to the deepest part of the cave to find the fifth person or the fourth corpse.
On the surface, the mechanism here is very simple, but I always feel that these people are not so easily caught. They die too easily, and they are even a little confused.
The dead water pool was full of dark stagnant water, and it was impossible to drink or wash its face. Why did the corpse die inside?
There was no disguise on the pit. It was such a big pit, and there were sharp stones underneath. The corpse was clearly holding a flashlight in his hand. How did he fall down and die?
The third corpse's death method can be called a natural event, because the half of his body that was buried in the stone wall was the upper body, and it seemed to have to use a spell to pass through the wall, but it failed halfway through.
It's really strange that there are many this year, and I'm stunned while exploring it while looking at the end of the cave.
The fifth man sat cross-legged under the stone plate at the end of the cave. Yes, there was another stone plate embedded on the mountain wall, exactly the same as the one I saw before.
The fifth person I was looking for was holding a soldier radio station in my arms. Seeing this backpack-sized radio station, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself that the message was here, but when I thought about it, I became confused again. Can ordinary civilian radios receive this kind of radio signal?
"Hello, I received your help message. How are you doing now? Can you leave?" I repeated what I said just now.
The man nodded at me, his movements were very weak. I walked up and pressed his shoulder, "Don't be nervous, I have superpowers."
After explaining, I took him back to the entrance of the cave where he came in, took the person who threw the kettle, and rescued the two of them from this strange underground cave.
When I got back to the off-road vehicle, I broke some big leaves with dew on it. It was impossible to drink enough, but at least it could moisten my throat.
There are black star fruits in the desert field. I picked a few handfuls. Although they were not ripe, they could eat them at least. I also found some lantern fruits. This fruit is small and sour, and it is guaranteed to quench your thirst after eating them.
Seeing that the two of them had some strength, I asked, "Who are you? Why are you trapped in a cave?"
The man who asked for help was older, he stuffed a few black stars into his mouth and said while chewing: "Sorry, we are disciplined and cannot reveal our identity."
Military kettle, individual radio station, plus combat uniforms without epaulettes...
Since it is said that there is discipline, the subtext is that they are military personnel and perform confidential tasks. I nodded, oh, and asked again:
"Then are you from Xindu or from the safety zone?"
The two looked at each other and showed a puzzled expression: "Xindu? Safe area?"
Then the older man looked at me and asked, "You said you have superpowers, this is not a trivial matter. If it weren't for us seeing it with our own eyes, no one would believe it."
I was stunned when I heard this. Combined with their reactions, I suddenly asked anxiously: "How long have you been trapped in the cave?"
The young man thought for a while and said, "Seven days."
I asked again: "What month is the day you went down?"
Both of them were stunned by my question, and I quickly said, "Believe me, this is very important."
The young man looked at the older man, who hesitated for a moment before answering: "Month issue, year month issue."
Hearing this answer, I let out a long sigh, organized the language, and said, "Today is the year and month issue."
