Kitten Lovers Foundation

Chapter 42

The structure of this underground cave is surprisingly similar. If it weren't for the different shapes of the hanging stalagmites around them, and the different positions of the corpses on the ground, they might have thought that they had encountered a situation similar to the first floor and couldn't get out.

After walking for a while, there were only dead people around.

From time to time, Gu Qian would squat down to check the wounds of the dead. After tossing several corpses, he seemed to be brewing an argument: "Many people died of poisoning."

"Well," Uncle Suifeng was attracted by Gu Qian's actions, and later checked the corpse with him, agreeing with his words: "Food poisoning, and poisoning at the same time. It seems that Ouyang Xiong dared to bring people down in a big way, and he did a lot of things beforehand." Prepare."

"But there are several types of poisoning." Gu Qian is not good at poisoning, but not as professional as Qian Xiaoyan. He turned to Qian Xiaoyan and asked, "What do you think?"

Qian Xiaoyan frowned, and took out woolen gloves from her bag. Although they were not very useful, they were better than nothing.She raised the knife and cut open the head and chest of one of the blackened corpses.

Fingers picked at the heart and lungs of the chest, took off the gloves and said: "Two types of poison, one is food poisoning, and the other is estimated to be transmitted through the air."

Several people raised their heads at the same time. The air-conditioning pipes were small, embedded in the gaps at the top of the cave, twisting and twisting along the cave, like the body of a deformed centipede.

"I don't know what floor Ouyang and the others have entered," Suifeng sighed: "But the last floor where the ghost is located must be a complete set of independent exhaust and drainage systems. It is similar to the nursing home last time, so this method It’s okay to clean up the horses, but if you want to go deep into the roots, there must be a fierce battle.”

"What shall we do next?" Gu Si asked.

"Our most ideal situation is to find Ouyang Xiong and his people, and then follow them to the next floor. They will clean up the enemies, and we will take advantage of them later." Uncle Suifeng said.

Ji Feng: "...It really is an ideal situation."

Gu Qian: "We do our thing, but they are helping us indirectly. But be careful, they may also be enemies."

Everyone understood, even Ji Feng, a layman, gradually understood that the saying that colleagues are enemies is not just words after contacting several spiritual trainer families other than the Gu family.

The hole itself is not big, but it is winding and winding, and the road is not a straight line. Sometimes the distance of the straight line is tens of meters, and they can walk around the stone for more than ten minutes.

Wherever he went, there were either unconscious people or people who were poisoned to death. It can be seen that the poison of Ouyang's family was extremely violent.

As Ji Feng walked, he seemed to hear the meowing of a cat, but that sound did not come from Rhubarb.

He tentatively asked, "Have you heard the cat meow?"

Everyone said they didn't hear it.

"Rhubarb?" Gu Qian asked.

"No." Ji Feng was very sure, but the voice had an indescribably familiar feeling, not that he had heard it before, but that the meaning conveyed by the voice resonated with himself, but what exactly was this resonance? ?

"Where is it coming from? You lead the way." Uncle Suifeng said.

Ji Feng nodded, and moved towards the direction of the voice little by little. The voice came and went, so they naturally stopped and walked.

Finally stopping in front of a stone gap, Ji Feng pressed his face against the stone wall and listened intently. After a long time, he said with certainty: "There are not only cats meowing, but also human voices coming from inside."

"Open it and try it." Uncle Suifeng said, and took out the tools of the group in the backpack, which contained a sharp shovel.

Uncle Suifeng pointed the shovel head at the stone gap, and pushed forward with his back hand, but the stone gap did not move at all.

"Come help!" He said to Gu Qian, still holding the shovel tightly.

Gu Qian was noncommittal and looked at him calmly.

"That won't work. This kind of rock is granite, which is extremely hard. I don't know how many layers there are behind it!" Gu Si said.

Facts have proved that Gu Si's consideration is thoughtful. This stone is really strong. Not to mention making a hole, it took a lot of effort to scrape off a layer of skin.

"Reduce the force-bearing area and increase the pressure." Gu Qian took out the pen in his backpack and used his fingers to measure something on the rock near the stone gap.After a while, he found several spots and painted on them with a pen.

"What are you doing?" Monsoon asked.

Gu Qian pointed at the drawn place with a pen and said, "Have you ever seen a movie? You don't need to smash all of a wall, you just need to find a few points of force. The shattering of these points will make the wall as thin as a wall. Like a piece of paper, it collapses at the touch of a finger."

"...you will?" Qian Xiaoyan couldn't believe it, but seeing Gu Qian's serious look, it seemed like that.

"He is best at talking nonsense in a serious manner." Gu Si teased.

Gu Qian raised his eyebrows, "Give me your knife!" After saying that, he reached out to Qian Xiaoyan for the knife.

Holding the throwing knife and starting to drill holes in those small dots, they were all helpless. They just waited to see how Gu Qian slapped his face. They all sat around the stone gap and silently waited for Gu Qian's scientific method of punching walls to unfold!

Ji Feng couldn't see it, so he offered to help, and the two of them, each with a throwing knife, worked hard to drill the hole.

"If you slap your face later, I will try not to laugh at you." Ji Feng laughed.

Gu Qian: "..."

Drilling a hole is a long process, but there is nothing left and right. The rest of the people had enough rest and walked around to see if there were any new discoveries.

"Okay!" Gu Qian put down the throwing knife, the last small hole has been made, and the rest depends on Ji Feng's "Vajra Finger".

He signaled to Monsoon that it could begin.

Ji Feng thought to himself, in the end, I still have to rely on me to split the stone cave. Why don't you say it earlier, if your scientific wall-breaking method doesn't work, you won't blame me for my lack of ability, right?

Stretch out your hand to pinch the formula, and chop horizontally, but the stone wall does not respond.

Then knead the formula and chop hard, but there was still no response from the stone wall.

Monsoon: "..."

Gu Qian grabbed his hand and gestured in the air: "This way, start from the left, go up, right, down, and then to the left."

Still worried that Ji Feng would not be able to learn it, Gu Qian made gestures himself again, and then said: "Usually you need to do the trinity of heart, hand and mouth when you make a trick. This time, every time you hit a point, you have to do the trick again, and repeat all the tricks. Linked together through movement. Got it?"

"..." Ji Feng Fu forehead: "I haven't learned this before, try it."

Ji Feng learns and sells now, this kind of requirement is a bit more advanced than ordinary formulas, so he had to bite the bullet.

According to Bao Qian's instructions, he used eight dots to connect the formulas one by one. The strokes were a bit slow, but luckily nothing went wrong.

After a successful one-time attack, he slashed horizontally again. This time, Ji Feng clearly felt the wind in his palm, and an invisible air flow flowed from his palm, flying towards the depths of the stone crevice.

what is this?

Suddenly, the stone gap collapsed.

"It really works?!" Gu Si exclaimed.

"Be careful!" Within three seconds after Shixia disappeared, Uncle Suifeng stepped on the ground and reminded everyone.

But it was too late for his reminder, not only the rock wall in front of them disappeared with the stone gap, but also the stones under their feet!

The five people parachuted to the next floor again, but this time they were not as lucky as last time. Large chunks of rocks fell vertically from top to bottom like an avalanche, and several exclamations and cries of pain followed one after another.

Ji Feng only felt that something was pressing on him, but when he took a closer look, he realized that Gu Qian had already laid down on him, blocking most of the stones for him.

He stood up and pushed away the boulder on Gu Qian's back. Unexpectedly, Uncle Suifeng in the front left hummed, and a stone more than one meter wide but nearly two meters long fell on them, and Uncle Suifeng's foot got stuck in the gap between the stones. among!

"Uncle, uncle!" Ji Feng crawled forward, patting the uncle's face with his hand.

"Huh? Cough cough..." Uncle Suifeng was woken up by Jifeng's slap: "Ah, my feet hurt so much!"

"You, don't move around, I will try to save you!" Ji Feng got up with difficulty, first dragged Gu Qian, put him next to the big rock, and leaned against Uncle Feng.

Gu Qian clutched his chest, temporarily unable to see any trauma, but he kept coughing.

"How are you? Can you still hold on?" Ji Feng anxiously stretched out his hand to support his shoulder.

Gu Qian didn't have the energy to speak, so he just waved his hand at Ji Feng, probably to show that he was okay.

Ji Feng was no longer sticky, and went to look for Gu Si and Qian Xiaoyan again.

He didn't know what this floor looked like, it was so dark that there were no edges, so he had to fumble for the flashlight in his backpack first, and shine light on both sides little by little.

In this cave, apart from the obvious kicking sounds of Uncle Suifeng and Gu Qian, there is also the sound of dripping water. Ji Feng licked his mouth. This kind of sound that makes people think about it in the dark is the most terrifying and deadly. of.

tick-tock-

Ji Feng walked towards the source of the sound. Although it was only a few meters away, he walked extremely slowly, and his voice became louder and louder, almost approaching his eyes.

The air seemed to become sticky and humid, and the flashlight could only see the collapsed rocks. He looked down and saw a stream of red fluid moving towards his feet.

Blood? !

The light of the flashlight expanded bit by bit along the direction of the blood flow, and Ji Feng saw a hand in a pile of rubble!

gus?Qian Xiaoyan?

Ji Feng's hand trembled violently, he took a few steps forward, put down the flashlight on that hand, and began to scrape away the pile of gravel with both hands.

Who is who?

Are you still alive?

The gravel spread out little by little, from wrists to elbows, arms, to shoulders, neck, and face!

Ji Feng's hands were trembling, he looked at half of the face of the man opposite, and the other half had already been buried in the stone slab.

It's Qian Xiaoyan!

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, hey!" Ji Feng picked up the remaining stones with one hand, and patted her face with the other, trying to wake her up.

The sound of ticking continued, like a punctual pendulum shaking, making a rhythmic sound.

But at this time, Ji Feng heard this voice, as if he heard the call of hell.

He looked up to find the source of the sound, it was nearby!

Where is Gu Si?

Is it also buried below?

Ji Feng felt unspeakable despair and remorse, but the reality did not allow him to have too much time to indulge his emotions.

He calmed down quickly, ignored the continuous ticking sound, and removed the stone that fell on Qian Xiaoyan with his bare hands.

But Qian Xiaoyan's whole body was buried in the pile of stones, and Ji Feng tried his best to clean up his upper body temporarily.Qian Xiaoyan was still in a coma, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

Ji Feng didn't dare to test whether she was still breathing, let's just assume she was still alive!

The blood flowed out from the stone pile, and Ji Feng, holding the flashlight in his mouth, followed the direction of the blood flow, bypassing the stone pile where Qian Xiaoyan was, and walked to the rear.

It was just discovered that this bloody water also existed behind the stone wall, flowing from the ground all the way forward, passing through the pool of stones where Qian Xiaoyan was buried.

He held the flashlight in his hand and softly called Gu Si's name, but there was no answer.

There was some faint light on the top of the head. This third floor was much shorter than the first two floors, and there were no traces of artificial excavation.

Still a natural cave.

Of course, this may not be the third layer. There are many layers inside the cave, and they may have fallen into the interlayer.

The sticky smell in the air became heavier and heavier, and the monsoon walked around the collapsed stone gap.

"Where's Gu Si?" Gu Qian asked softly.

Ji Feng came back and told Gu Qian and Sui Feng what he saw just now.But Gu Si couldn't be found, she disappeared.

"Uncle, I'll try to pry this rock with a shovel, please bear with me. We don't have much time, Qian Xiaoyan doesn't know whether to live or die now." Ji Feng said.

Uncle Suifeng nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hurry up, keep your hands steady, if you squeeze back and forth, my leg will be useless."

"Yeah!" Ji Feng nodded cautiously, and took out the last shovel in his bag.Put the shovel completely upright. According to the principle of leverage, the longer the lever, the smaller the force can be.

Ji Feng circled the boulder, and under Gu Qian's guidance, he found a small space just below the uncle's thigh, just separated by the thigh.

Put the head of the shovel inside, "Uncle, I've moved!" After that, he pressed the shovel down deeply with a formula.

"Also, it's a little bit closer!" Uncle Suifeng cooperated, trying to move his feet.

"How about it, it's a little taller!" Ji Feng roared with all his strength.

"Uh, um, ah—" Uncle Suifeng was in extreme pain, he yelled, he twitched his thigh vigorously, and moved his calf out.

Boom—the stone fell to the ground again.

"Hurrah, what's the matter?" Ji Feng gasped, dropped the shovel, and ran to Uncle Suifeng.

"Broken, femur." Uncle Suifeng pointed to the middle of the thigh: "Use a shovel to fix it. Come, let's go and see Qian Xiaoyan."

A few men quickly got it done, Uncle Suifeng endured the pain, and used an iron rod with a shovel tied to one foot as a fixation, and held a shovel close to his shoulder height in one hand for support while walking.

Ji Feng supported Gu Qian, but Gu Qian still looked listless, he coughed softly and couldn't speak.

Uncle Suifeng was the first one to run to the stone pile, with a weak body and strong will.

The way a spiritual trainer examines injuries is different from that of ordinary people.

Suifeng stretched out his right hand and pulled it up Qian Xiaoyan's body. At this time, a pale yellow halo slowly appeared, gradually growing from Qian Xiaoyan's body. The yellow color changed from light yellow to dark yellow, orange red, and bright red before it had time Covering her whole body, it broke with a snap.

Ji Feng only heard Uncle Suifeng sigh, with a heavy voice: "It's almost..."

"What, what do you mean?" Ji Feng didn't understand what the yellow bubbles meant, as well as the color, bursting and so on.

"It means we can't save her, let's go." Gu Qian also sighed, and lightly patted Ji Feng's head.

"If I just..." Ji Feng said.

"It's not your fault!" Gu Qian interrupted his association, knowing that Ji Feng wanted to blame himself. If he hadn't penetrated the stone cave, the place would not have collapsed, Qian Xiaoyan would not have died, and Gu Si would not have disappeared. , the wind will not fracture...

But what they do is what they think is right at the moment. As a spiritual trainer, facing life and death is a test that must be borne.

"Nobody objected just now. You did the right thing. This was an accident." Gu Qian stated in a calm tone.

"But, then how do we tell her brother? Although we don't know where Qian Dahei is yet."

Uncle Suifeng leaned on a shovel and a cane, and walked towards Jifeng step by step: "Silly boy, their siblings are already gathered below."

"How is it possible? Don't you say Qian Dahei..." Ji Feng was stunned.

"It disappeared when the car overturned, and people can't see it anyway. I discussed it with Gu Qian, but I didn't tell you."

Ji Feng feels that life has ushered in the saddest moment.

Although he has seen a lot from life to death along the way, but for him, death is mostly the death of the enemy. This kind of death is unreal, just like killing a boss in a game.

But this time, a real teammate, a girl who was close to him, who was with him day and night, died in front of him. The impact on the soul is beyond words.

A very sad mood flowed uncontrollably.

"Little brother—" Uncle Suifeng patted Ji Feng's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Now I don't have time to mourn for you. You are the only one among us who can walk and move."

Ji Feng raised his head helplessly, looked at Uncle Suifeng, then at Gu Qian who was standing quietly beside him, and nodded cautiously.

If he knew at the beginning that he would lose his friends and even his own life if he came here, would he still choose to pursue it all the way?

It took only a few seconds for Monsoon to find the answer - yes.

People always need to explain to themselves, to the people around them, to their experiences, and to others.

He came here for the life and death contract of Wang Huaijiao's mother-in-law, and also to explain his identity as a spiritual trainer.

Ji Feng calmed down, supported Gu Qian, and the three of them regained their equipment, intending to climb back from where they fell.
