"This shouldn't be an airport line. Whether it's an old airport or a new airport, it's not in this direction." Ma Lu muttered, "What did the people who designed the route before think, why did this section be designed so long?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan behind him, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect that the two sites were so far away and didn't bring water when I set off. If you feel thirsty and tired, you can go back first. By the way, you can tell the people above about the situation here and ask them to send a few more people down."

As a result, Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard this, "We will not go back if we don't find anyone."

Ma Lu was stunned. He saw Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan just followed him silently, and did not show any anxious and anxious expressions during this period. He thought they had no big relationship with the missing two people, at least they should not be relatives and friends, but for some reason they had to find someone with them.

So Ma Lu thoughtfully suggested that the two of them could go back first, mainly because they had been away for so long and there was no signal on the phone below. It was indeed necessary that someone contacted the person above to explain the situation, so this was actually the best of both worlds, but he did not expect Zhang Heng to refuse.

And then he heard Zhang Heng continue, "I think you can go back because you have been shouting for so long, and your voice is a little hoarse, so you need some water to rest."

"I'm fine." Ma Lu shook his head, "We can feel at ease early if we find the two girls who lost their way."

After saying that, he saw that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan had no intention of leaving, so he raised the flashlight and continued to walk forward. However, Zhang Heng was right. He shouted for forty minutes and was a little dry, so he didn't call loudly after setting off again.

The three of them walked forward silently.

After about five minutes, Zhang Heng spoke again, "Master Ma, you have worked in the subway company for many years. How much do you know about this subway line?"

"This is my first time here. In fact, no one in the company has ever been here." Ma Lu said, "This place was shut down before it was built, so it was not delivered to the subway company at all. Therefore, I don't know anything about the length, direction, and number of platforms of this subway line. To be honest, I didn't expect the tunnel to be so long before, and this section has basically been completed. The construction materials look good, and it's a pity to just abandon it."

"Well, what about the rumors?"

"What?" Ma Lu thought he had heard Zhang Heng's words apart.

"I remember you mentioned it before when you were above, saying that there are some rumors about it, can you tell us?"

"Now, do you want to listen to those rumors now?"

"Is there any inconvenience?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Well, because most of the rumors are absurd, and we happen to be in this tunnel now. Although I don't have any superstitions, there are some things that should be avoided."

"Well, but we're free now and there's nothing to do." Zhang Heng said, "Everyone should be a little tired after walking for so long. Chatting can relieve fatigue a little."

Ma Lu looked at Fan Meinan beside him, but found that the little girl who looked a little thin didn't show any fear, so he nodded, "Okay, where do you want to sound?"

"Why just talk about why this subway line was abandoned." Fan Meinan said.

"The official statement is that because of the changes in administrative planning, this subway line has become unnecessary, so it has not been built."

“But actually?”

"No one knows the situation in fact," said Ma Lu, "but when I first entered the company, I did hear some old employees saying that the reason why this subway line was really abandoned was because no construction workers were willing to continue working. From construction to almost one-third of the remaining places, some people began to fall ill. However, at the beginning, no one cared too much, thinking that it was just the construction worker's own reason.

"Because the machinery and equipment were not very developed at that time, the labor intensity of workers was also very high, and it was normal for physical problems. Usually, it was good to have a period of cultivation, but soon, a second and third person fell ill... People from the construction company also began to pay attention to it, reducing the labor intensity, paying more attention to ventilation, and also replaced the chefs on the construction site, but it was useless. More and more people fell ill, and at this time, the diagnosis report of the person who was first sent to the hospital was also released.

"The cause of the disease was not found from the routine examination items. His body functions were normal, but he did have symptoms such as fatigue and memory loss in clinical practice, and even developed certain cognitive impairment later. Not only him, but several workers who were sent to the hospital also had similar symptoms to varying degrees, but this also ruled out the possibility of his own genetic disease.

"That diagnostic report did not dispel the workers' doubts and concerns. Moreover, because the number of people who fell ill increased, the remaining people began to feel panic one day. Finally, under the leadership of several leaders, they went on strike together and were unwilling to continue working. The construction company had to transfer another construction team from other places to replace the workers who went on strike. In addition, they also found experts to conduct inspections.

"But unfortunately, the experts stayed here for two weeks and found nothing. They took some earth samples and left. Fortunately, they changed the number of new people and the project could finally continue. However, the good times did not last long. About half a month later, the workers fell ill, which was the same as the clinical symptoms of the previous group of people.

"And these workers learned about the experience of the previous group of workers from somewhere. They were very angry about the construction company's behavior of concealing the actual situation from them, so they went on strike and stopped. What's worse is that this matter gradually spread among the workers, and the construction company could not find workers who were willing to continue construction. At the same time, this matter also alarmed several leaders above. Finally, after research, they decided to completely give up the railway." Ma Lu said.

"Which sick workers are there? How did they do later?" Zhang Heng asked.
