Chapter 1 - Under the ruins
“Huh, is it dark again?” There was a listless whisper in the darkness, and the voice was silent for a while, and suddenly said angrily: “The haze is so fierce, it should be fifteen, even the moon It’s gone. “
“Anyone? Anyone? You, where are you?” A young girl’s excited voice came in the dark, with a crying voice in her voice, as if the dying traveller was crying in front of the oasis.
“It turns out that it wasn’t in the dormitory bed, no wonder it was so waist-sucking.” The man’s voice rang again.
“Are you a classmate who just came to print?” The girl asked anxiously.
“Um …, yes, I have gotten up to print the paper. So I am in the print shop.” The man seemed a little sober: “Sister, are you turning off the lights to hide and seek?”
“Yes, it’s an earthquake.”
“Huh, why didn’t I feel the vibration?”
“After you asked me to print the paper, you snored on the table. Then there was an earthquake, and the door collapsed. I desperately told you that nothing happened. I thought you … you were buried.” There was a glimmer of light in the darkness, and the girl turned on the flashlight of the phone and shone in the direction of the man. A vaguely photographed figure sitting on the ground.
“Hey, my sleep quality has always been passable, and so is my luck.” The figure stood up from the ground, and the dust on the ground made a rustling sound.
“You are in no hurry, we are stuck here and can’t get out, the earthquake is buried, it will kill people.”
The man didn’t talk, and the girl looked at him with a grin and smiled through the phone lights. Then he took his phone out of his pocket and took photos. He carefully looked at the roof, walls and stone piles blocking the door in this small space, and then said in a soothing voice: “It ’s okay, it ’s okay, it ’s okay People, we will be saved. You are not injured. “
“No, will you really be saved?” The girl was refreshed.
“Really, the shop here was rebuilt from the air raid shelter under the dormitory building, which was already very strong. I just saw that there was no large crack in the ceiling and the wall, so I judged that the dormitory building above should not collapse. It may collapse. It ’s just the extra part of the shop. Cut, the illegal building killed people. ”The man used his mobile phone to take photos while analyzing himself.“ Although we ca n’t get out for a while, we should not use it for rescuers. How long will it take to dig here. “
“However, we didn’t eat, don’t know how long to wait?”
“Isn’t there a drinking fountain there? With this water, we can stick to it for a long time. Generally, an earthquake occurs, and the school is the focus of disaster relief. Of course, the dormitory area is the top priority. So I guess if it is correct, soon Someone will come. “
“Great,” the girl said with a sigh of relief. “So what should we do now?”
“Well, the black lights are blind, the solitary men and widows …, what do you say?”
“Ah? Ah? What do you want?”
“Hey, that’s it …” The tall, thin man came over and sat across from her before the girl had no time to react. “… I would rather introduce myself. My name is Xiao Chen.” “
In the dim light of the mobile phone screen, the girl saw a slightly thin but well-defined face. Xiao Chen’s eyes are a little long, his nose is straight, and he has short, spiritual hair, with a reassuring smile, and it doesn’t look like a bad guy at first glance.
“Oh, my, my name is Zhou He.” The girl said, blocking the other party’s mobile phone light with her hand, not dare to let the other party see her fevered cheek.
Xiao Chen was very good at dealing with people. After a few minutes, Zhou He let go of her guard, but what she never worried about was the rescue. Her pure small face was always stretched, and she would ask again every three minutes: “You said, why haven’t they come yet?”
Xiao Chen was quickly annoyed by this timid girl and was about to distract her from telling a few jokes, and heard a low hum from a short distance away.
“There are still people!” Xiao Chen turned on the flashlight in his mobile phone and leaned over to the place where the sound was heard. It was a partition wall near the shop next to the print shop. Because it was blocked by the cabinet, neither of them had found a big hole in the wall before.
“Anyone?” He asked, taking a picture next door, and saw a woman in a white shirt and suit pants struggling to stand up from the ground. The woman’s head was broken, half of her face was covered with blood, and a small piece of red on her neckline was also stained.
Xiao Chen hurriedly drilled through the hole and supported the woman from behind, letting her lean on her arms and inspecting the wound on her head.
“Is there an earthquake?” Although the woman was injured and just woke up, her voice was calm. She opened her eyes and just stared at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen found that her eyes were very big and beautiful, with a strong smell, even with a **** and dusty face, it still made him jump.
“How is my head hurt?” She asked again.
“Fortunately, there is not much blood flowing, it should be a skin injury.” Xiao Chen looked around. It should be a small supermarket, with collapsed shelves and scattered goods everywhere. “I guess you are overturned. The shelf is stunned. The wound is not deep. You try to use your hands and feet to see if there are any other injuries? “
The woman tried to move her limbs, feeling no harm, and motioned to Xiao Chen to help her sit up. Xiao Chen didn’t dare to move her forcefully, but just helped her turn slightly and let her lean on a post.

At this time Zhou He also drilled from the next door. Xiao Chen asked her to open a bottle of mineral water to help the wounded woman wash the wound. Another towel was found from the shelf and the woman’s forehead was bandaged.
The woman’s name is Luo Ling and she is a new teacher at Huaxia University. After Xiao Chen finished the bandage, she scrubbed her face with water.
Xiao Chen found that Luo Ling, who was in charge of cleanliness, had added a little more color. She looked young, very delicate in appearance, and had a kind of gentle beauty unique to Jiangnan girls.
Luo Ling thanked the two generously and asked about the situation now.
“The bad news is that we are all trapped underground. The good news is that there is no shortage of food and drink here. We should wait until the rescue.” Xiao Chen replied.
The three of them sat and rested for a while, and slowly took their time. Although Luo Ling’s head was bleeding, she was not seriously injured. After a while, she could stand up with Zhou He’s help. She supported the wall and began to walk around the house, trying to move her body away. But without taking a few steps, she suddenly pointed to a corner on the right and said, “I felt windy when I walked here.”
Xiao Chen stepped forward and moved a few boxes, and he found a crack over one meter wide on the ground. He took photos with his mobile phone, and found that the rift was so large that he could pass it. Near the entrance of the cave, a stream of air rushed into the face. What’s even more strange is that this is not the kind of gloomy and damp underground air, but the dry and fresh air.
Xiao Chen was lying at the entrance of the cave, reaching down the phone, and found a two-meter-wide channel below. The ground and walls were made of stone, and some parts collapsed slightly. This passage is nothing like the things in the school, but like the ancient tombs visited before. Xiao Chen’s location was within two meters of the passageway. He estimated that he could jump down and climb up on the stone.
“How is it?” As soon as Xiao Chen raised his head, he saw Zhou He kneeling beside the hole and looked at him nervously.
“Haunted!”
“Ah !!!” Zhou He screamed in shock.
“Don’t scare other girls.” Luo Ling said with dissatisfaction.
“I mean, there is a tunnel under the basement, but we never knew that there was a ghost in this matter.” Xiao Chen laughed and said, “If there are old ghosts, little ghosts, and female ghosts, then I don’t know.”
“Ah!” Zhou He exclaimed again, under the light of the mobile phone screen, Xiao Chen’s face was reflected pale, and he smiled a little evil, especially like a white impermanence crawling out of the ground. Zhou He was so scared that she sat on the ground, her cell phone fell off, and suddenly the room was dark. She immediately screamed loudly.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!” Xiao Chen didn’t expect a big joke to cause a big trouble, and he wanted to calm her, but the touch in the dark ushered in Zhou He’s counterattack. After several times of Wang Baquan, fortunately, he was much taller than Zhou He. After several efforts, she finally grabbed her hands. At this time, Luo Ling also hugged Zhou He from behind and attached it to her ear for a while. So that Zhou He calmed down slowly.
Xiao Chen let go of Zhou He and rubbed his eyes gently with one hand, grinning and said, “Oh, it hurts! Miss Zhou, your fist is really fierce. With your skill, you need to be afraid Ghost. “
“Due!” The two women said in unison.
Although Xiao Chen couldn’t see clearly, he knew that he would definitely suffer from two pairs of white eyes.
But at this moment, there was a voice in the tunnel, “Are there any people on it?” The voice was a little far away, and there was some lingering, still echoing.
Upon hearing this, Zhou He whispered and hugged Luo Ling’s arm. Xiao Chen and Luo Ling looked at each other, and they found each other’s tension.
“Who are you? Where is the place below?” Xiao Chen shouted toward him. But he shouted several times, and there was no response.
Luo Ling shouted for him, but the voice was like a ghost coming and going, disappearing out of thin air. After the two men shouted more than ten times, Xiao Chen said: “You wait here, I will go down to investigate. Look for that person, and see if I can get out of this passage.”
“No, no. The following is so dark, it’s too scary.” Zhou He pulled Xiao Chen.
“Relax, I’m not afraid of ghosts, are you afraid of black?” Xiao Chen patted the back of his hand.
“I think we’d better go together. In this environment, it’s important to take care of each other.” Luo Ling joined. “And we should get some food from the supermarket.”
“Yes, go together if you want, how can you throw our two girls in such a dark room.”
Xiao Chen agreed, although he was not guilty, but someone accompanied him to take risks together, it was better than going alone, at least he would feel more secure.
The three of them collected some mineral water, biscuits and ham sausages, put them in school bags and carrying bags, and climbed down the hole in sequence.
Entering the stone road, Xiao Chen took a photo of the surrounding area of the hole with a mechanical cylinder. “The left side is a dead end. It takes four or five steps to reach the end. The road on the right side is long and deep.
So, Xiao Chen took the lead, behind the Hall of Ling Ling, timid Zhou He walked in the middle, and the three slowly walked toward the depths of the stone road.
