Chapter 236 Cave Exploration
They were talking, and at this time the TV in the room was playing a news piece, which attracted Gu Jianqiu's attention. The news content was that Interpol successfully cracked a smuggling case of theft of national cultural relics. Two rare treasures were stolen by Shangguan Wan'er's tomb. Through the joint efforts of Interpol and domestic police, it has been found and invited back. It is stored in the National Museum. This is a major achievement of international cooperation in combating the smuggling of cultural relics.
Seeing this news, Gu Jianqiu smiled. The scenes on TV, Shangguan Wan'er's two funeral objects also appeared in the camera. It was the underwear and golden crown he saw in the Jinbuchang auction market.
Because they had seven days of National Day holiday, the time for this scientific expedition was also seven days. They prepared seven days of water and food, and they set off on the National Day.
Gu Jianqiu did not tell Qian Jiaqi that he was worried that Qian Jiaqi would follow him, so he just told him that he was on a business trip. Qian Jiaqi was of course disappointed. She originally planned to go out for a trip with Gu Jianqiu on National Day, but now she has been in trouble. Although Gu Jianqiu agreed to date her, Gu Jianqiu tried her best to avoid having too close contact with her, which would be beneficial to her.
The cave we explored was in the mountainous area, and it took half a day to go. In the afternoon, they arrived at the entrance of the cave. The cave was halfway up the mountain and the car could not get in. They could only park in a small village nearby, and then hiked to the entrance of the cave and entered the cave.
They had already arranged that two mercenaries from Southeast Asia, Ka San and Ka Si, who were familiar with caves, were clearing the way in front and breaking the back. Ka San was in front. Gu Jianqiu followed Ka San, and Jingyi and William followed Gu Jianqiu in the middle. They all had helmets on their heads and had strong searchlights on their helmets. However, when they arrived in the cave, this searchlight could not illuminate the entire cave, and they could only see a beam of light, so they also had a lighting device in their hands, which was a luminous rod. This thing could illuminate the relatively narrow cave, but there was nothing they could do in the large cave.
Ka San and Ka Si have very good experience in caves. They have to mark each time they break fork. Professor Gu used a laptop computer with a special set of software, which is used to draw underground cave maps. He marked the routes he passed on on the map, and he would not get lost when he returned.
There are many forks in the underground caves, and some places are very narrow. There are all kinds of strange things in the caves, and underground rivers were found, with the sound of water roaring, which was very thrilling.
At night, they had to stay and rest. Although there was no day or night in the cave, they had to rest and save their energy. During the rest, they took turns to stand guard, and the others rested with peace of mind. Jingyi William put the sleeping bag next to Gu Jianqiu God and slept next to him. Gu Jianqiu felt like a little sister, and she had to follow her brother to feel safe.
In this expedition, Gu Jianqiu originally hoped to be as lucky as last time, find treasures and improve his real cultivation ability. However, except for the beautiful cave scenery, he did not find anything valuable. So he was a little disappointed, but for Professor Bo and others, it was a rare experience. Every time they found a large cave, they cheered and joking. They kept taking photos and videos, then took rock samples, used instruments for analysis, and knocked on the computer with crackling sounds to record what they saw and heard and the results they detected. From their surprise expressions, Gu Jianqiu knew that they were very satisfied with the discovery of this expedition.
The next day, they encountered a corpse, which was completely broken into pieces. This should be what the local villagers said about the villagers who were lost in the cave and could not return. They didn't expect to die here. After a moment of silence, they did not move the corpse and continued to explore.
They spent four days walking in, but they were unable to reach the end. According to the pre-plan, they had to return, so they took a photo at the deepest part of the adventure and returned.
The return was very smooth, and the marks made by Kas three and four made them smoothly found the route they returned, and they didn't even need to study Professor Bo's complex underground cave map.
On the first day of the National Day holiday, they finally approached the entrance of the cave.
And just then, they heard the sound of talking coming from the entrance of the cave.
This voice was first heard by Gu Jianqiu. He heard a man talking to another. Did another group of people coming to explore? It was very complicated. If they wanted to go in, they were afraid that there would be danger.
As they continued to move forward, the others also heard their voices, so they greeted him loudly, and soon they saw five people coming in, all of whom were young men holding torches and machetes. They were carrying backpacks on their backs. They were a little surprised to see Gu Jianqiu and the others. A strong man first said, "Did you come out of it?"
Jingyi William said: "Yes, we are an expedition team. We have been in for six days and have not finished walking inside. There are many forks. You just take a torch in. I am afraid there will be danger. It is better not to go in. You are different from us. We have special expedition equipment and are equipped with sufficient food."
The men looked at each other, and the strong man in the lead looked at them, and then said, "Can you sell your equipment to us? I also learned to explore and go for a walk."
Jingyi William is the daughter of a wealthy American. Of course, he doesn't care about money. Moreover, the adventure equipment they equipped is very expensive. She uses it very easily and is of course unwilling to transfer it. So she shook her head and said, "Sorry, if we don't sell our equipment, you'd better be more prepared before going in, as it will be dangerous if you go in."
As soon as he said something, Gu Jianqiu felt a danger coming to his face and immediately pulled Jingyi and William behind him. At this time, he saw the miniature submachine gun in the hand of the man.
The man's hand was behind his back just now, and the man did not show murderous aura. Perhaps he hadn't thought of attacking them at that time, so Gu Jianqiu couldn't feel that the other party was in danger. But at this time, after Jingyi and William refused to transfer the equipment to them, the man decided to use force and felt the murderous aura on the other party, but it was too late, and the gun that was facing the black hole was already pointed at them.
Gu Jianqiu dared not take risks. If it were him alone, it wouldn't matter. He was sure to kill all these people before the bullet hit him. But now, he has several team members, and they are in a narrow underground cave. They have no place to hide. If the bullet hits anyone, it will be troublesome. So Gu Jianqiu just blocked the disaster and stared at the other party in front of Jingyi and William.
Ka San, who was walking in the front, was startled and immediately raised his hand. He had fought in Southeast Asia for many years and was too familiar with guns. He knew that this thing was not a joke, and there was no need to be a hero for money.
As soon as he raised his hand, the other people quickly raised their hands. Because when the big man in the opposite direction took out the submachine gun, the other people also fired their guns, including three submachine guns and two pistols, aiming them at them.
Gu Jianqiu dared not move, but he felt that the other party would not shoot for the time being, so he did not take action.
The leading man said, "Since you don't want to sell the equipment to us, we have to use it. You just came out of it, which means you are very familiar with this cave. Please be our guide. If we enter the cave, you will have something to do. If you are obedient, you will let you go after we finish the work. If you want to be heroes, no matter how fast you are, you will not be faster than bullets."
Gu Jianqiu said: "Don't be impulsive. If you want money or equipment, we can give it to you. Please let us go. If you have equipment, it's very easy to enter the cave. We have signs for entering and out on it. Just follow the signs."
The big man smiled coldly and said, "I have already fired my gun. Do you think I will let you go? If you want to go out and call the police, then we will become turtles in the jar. So, please let me ask you guys to come with us and be our guides. Remember not to be heroes."
Jingyi William quickly swore that they would never call the police when they went out, but the other party was unmoved, and Jingyi William knew that they would not believe it.
The bearded man in charge said: "Women walk among us, and other men explore the way forward. Don't be too fast or too slow. Listen to my greetings at any time. Now Miss, come to me, don't worry, although you are very beautiful, we won't do anything to you. The premise is that you have to be obedient."
Jingyi William looked at Gu Jianqiu with help, and Gu Jianqiu had no expression on his face. He could not do anything now, and there was a precedent in Yunduan Building. That time, although he killed both the other party's killers instantly, the other party still pulled the trigger before he died, so he could not take risks. Of course, if the other party had any intention of Jingyi William, then Gu Jianqiu could only take risks. So he patted Jingyi William and said with a smile, "It's okay, listen to them, they won't do anything to us for the time being."
Beard glanced at Gu Jianqiu, nodded, and said, "You said it very well. We have money. We want women. We have all kinds of women. As long as you are obedient, I can guarantee your safety."
Jingyi and William were frightened and had to walk behind the beard. They did not ask for the searchlight on Gu Jianqiu and his head or the glowing stick in his hands. Gu Jianqiu couldn't help but sank. He could see that these people were veterans. They were willing to be in the dark and let their side be in the light so that they could control them at any time. When facing such veterans, they needed to be more cautious and not make any mistakes.
Under the command of the bearded man, the group had to turn around and walk into the hole. The beard kept a distance from them a few steps away. For normal people, it was difficult to launch a sudden attack at this distance, and of course there was no problem with Gu Jianqiu. But now, William Jingyi was hostage by them, and was pointed at by the gun behind them in the middle of their team. If Gu Jianqiu took action, it would be difficult to ensure that William Jingyi would not be injured by accident. Therefore, Gu Jianqiu decided to wait for the opportunity. He believed that the other party would slowly relax. That was the time to take action. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
