Chapter 609 Unable to Support
These people have already noticed that something is wrong, and they would not waste any more time before looking at the ground immediately.
Maybe it was exactly as they imagined, and what they had been wanting to find was right under their feet.
At this moment, there was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes. They had been searching for so long, and now they really needed a result to encourage them.
So everyone looks very expectant at this moment. No matter what, they really want to find the answers they want from here.
Everyone squatted down slightly and touched the ground carefully. They no longer felt it was dirty and just wanted to solve the mystery as soon as possible.
After a long while, the expectations in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared, and they found that this place seemed to be solid.
They originally thought that there might be something buried underground, but now it seems that it is not what they imagined.
So at this moment they don’t know what to do.
Those people also started asking questions.
"What's going on here? Logically, shouldn't it be buried in the ground? But why is it solid inside?"
"Yeah, I find it strange too. If our guess just now is correct, then those things should be buried underground."
After all, they do have some understanding of this. Now, whether the ground is solid or hollow, how could they not be able to tell?
So right now they really don’t know how to solve this problem.
Everyone's face seemed a little ugly.
After all, in this situation, they don’t know how to deal with it.
After a long while, Qi Tiezui finally realized that something was wrong.
He had just done some exploration and found that there was indeed nothing underneath.
If this is true, then could it be that their initial guess was wrong?
But when I think about it carefully, I feel it is impossible.
It was obvious that the closer they got to the ground, the stronger the smell became. What other possibility could it be other than being underneath?
After thinking carefully for a while, he suddenly realized it.
"Could it be because it's buried too deep that we can't feel it at all, and can't solve it with our usual logic?"
After hearing this, the doubts in everyone's eyes naturally became more and more intense. This statement is not impossible, but they just think it is a bit too mysterious.
After a long while, everyone finally spoke up and expressed their opinions.
"So what should we do now? Should we dig three feet into the ground?"
"Yes, but we haven't had enough rest yet. If we have to do some physical work at this time, I don't think our bodies will be able to withstand it."
"I think so too. What should we do now?"
They are really conflicted now. On the one hand, they want to solve this puzzle quickly, but on the other hand, they feel that if they really start digging here, they don't know when they can get a good rest.
Seeing them so conflicted, Zhang Qihai stepped forward and spoke.
"It's okay, you guys take a good rest now, let me handle this matter."
He was indeed in good physical condition, and he didn't feel that he was too tired at all.
Since everyone wants to solve this problem well, and everyone's body can't take it anymore, then let him solve it. It's no big deal for him.
After hearing this, Qi Tiezui, who was standing by, naturally stood up without hesitation, came to Zhang Qihai's side, and grabbed his shoulders.
"I'll go with him. You guys just take a good rest over there. Don't worry. It won't take too long."
I didn't expect that both of them would say such words. They both stood up so bravely. If I didn't do anything, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Besides, there is strength in numbers. How could they just let these two people do this?
Normally they had asked these two people to do too many things. No matter what, under such circumstances, they knew that they had to do it with them instead of just standing by and enjoying the results.
Even though their bodies were unable to hold on at this moment and they really needed rest, not only that, they had not eaten enough along the way.
But no matter what, they would not let Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui do this alone. If they really let only the two of them do it, there is no telling how much time it would take.
So at this moment, someone thought carefully for a while, then immediately stood up and spoke to them.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go with you. If you two do it, I don't know how long it will take to do it properly."
After one of them said this, how could the people around him continue to wait and see?
So at this moment they naturally stood up without hesitation, firmed their eyes and spoke.
"Yes, we came here together. If that's the case, we must solve this matter together now. How can we let you two do it alone?"
"Okay, okay, don't say anything else. Let's finish this time and go to bed quickly. I don't want to waste any more time."
Even the chief chief immediately stood up and expressed the same opinion.
"Yes, let's dig together now. Maybe we can really dig something useful from underneath."
Even if it may not be useful for some of the clues they want to get later, it can at least solve the doubts in their minds now.
They had finally found a place to rest, so how could they give up so easily?
And right now, this is really the only place for them. The surrounding area is bare, which makes it too easy for the enemy to find it.
So no matter what, they have to do it well.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.
However, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui also didn't want them to do this out of guilt.
They could clearly see that many people's bodies were unable to support it.
Chapter 610 Some Movement
After all, they are not fools and they know how to be considerate of others, so at this moment they also firmed their eyes and spoke to everyone.
"Actually, I know you probably don't want us to do these things alone, and you're afraid that we'll be tired. But no matter what, I can see that some of you really can't hold on any longer."
After the two exchanged glances, they knew what the other was thinking. As soon as Zhang Qihai finished speaking, Qi Tiezui immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, if you can hold on, then do it with us, but if you really can't hold on any longer, then you can just rest over there, otherwise it will only make the whole thing worse."
I didn't expect them to be so considerate. In such a critical situation, they still observed everyone so carefully. This really exceeded those people's expectations.
So how could they not feel anything in their hearts at this moment?
They smiled and nodded repeatedly. The situation was already critical and there was no way they could argue at this time.
If they continue to be entangled like this, it will only waste more time, and they don't want to see this happen.
So instead of this, it is better to solve this problem well. As long as it is solved, they will have nothing to worry about.
Afterwards, everyone was very self-aware and felt that they could still hold on. They immediately stepped forward and came in front of Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui. They felt that their bodies were indeed too weak and they could not continue to hold on, so they took a step back.
After seeing everyone divided into two groups, Zhang Qihai continued to speak to them.
"Alright, alright. You just stay by our side and keep watch. If anyone suspicious comes near, you must tell us."
How could those people not know what they should do?
Originally, they had not taken any action on this matter. Now, they will definitely do such a simple thing well.
So at this moment they naturally nodded without hesitation, raised their hands, patted their chests confidently, and spoke.
"Don't worry, we will definitely do it well."
After hearing what they said, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui were no longer afraid of anything else.
Then they began to dig seriously, wanting to see what was underneath.
Everyone was very careful. No matter what, they wanted to solve the mystery as soon as possible and didn't want to waste any more time.
The deeper they dug, the stronger the strange smell became.
They didn't know what was going on, but they still tried to suppress their nausea.
"Oh my god, this smell is so bad, I really can't stand it."
One of them frowned slightly and said these words.
The others naturally felt the same as he did.
They nodded one after another, and their faces looked uglier than if they had eaten shit.
But no matter what happens under such circumstances, they will continue to dig hard to see if what they discover is really what they imagined.
So at this moment everyone continued to endure and started playing.
But who knew that at this moment, the person on guard nearby seemed to hear some noise outside.
They exchanged glances and seemed very hesitant.
Then he became more careful and the person digging spoke.
"Be careful first, let's go see if anything happened outside."
After hearing this, there was some confusion in their eyes, not knowing what was going on.
All this happened too suddenly, and they didn't expect that all their attention was focused on digging, so they didn't notice anything else at the moment.
Moreover, there were constant sounds of digging all around them, so it was impossible for them to hear any noise outside.
So when they heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing and asked with some curiosity.
"What's wrong? What happened? We didn't hear anything?"
"Yeah, was there any noise outside? We definitely didn't hear it."
There was a hint of confusion in their eyes, not knowing what was going on.
After hearing this, they began to listen carefully.
No matter what, they must now take a good look at what is happening around them.
Zhang Qihai immediately stepped forward, blocked their way, and spoke.
"Don't go yet, let me go, lest something happens later."
After all, we really have to be careful in this situation.
