Golden Town [Unlimited]

After Xu Yun said that he couldn't get out of here, everyone showed terrified expressions.

Xu Yun was very calm, and after drinking the bottle of water Shen Tingbei gave him, he continued: "These two exits are connected, and the way you came in should also disappear."

"What!?" As a rookie, Qiao Yan broke down and asked back, his calm mood was ruthlessly overturned at this moment.

And Andrew, who was treated honestly by Ye Tao, sat aside and said nothing, almost confirming what Xu Yun said.

Shen Tingbei and Ye Tao looked at each other, and stood up together: "Let's go and have a look."

Gao Qian and Jin Shui also stood up.

A few people stood in front of the new tunnel entrance on the right and observed with flashlights.

The tunnel looked the same as the one they'd walked in, pitch black, swallowing the light from the flashlight.The places where the flashlight can shine are all wet mud or mud walls.

Ye Tao took out a bundle of ropes from his backpack, tied them around his waist, and said, "Twist once to release the rope, and twice to draw the rope."

Shen Tingbei grabbed the other end of the rope solemnly and nodded.

Ye Tao held the flashlight and entered the tunnel on the right.

The rope was tight, and followed the faint flashlight on Ye Tao's body and disappeared into the tunnel. Only the "pull" signal from the rope from time to time reported Ye Tao's safety.

Shen Tingbei nervously grasped the rope with Gao Qian and Jin Shui, and the rest of them also rested and surrounded them.

Only Xu Yun and Andrew stayed where they were, eating and drinking in silence.

After more than ten minutes, the rope was about to be released, but Ye Tao seemed to be still moving forward.

Shen Tingbei frowned, and pulled the rope from his end.

There was no response, the rope was submerged in darkness without even a tremor.

Shen Tingbei had a bad premonition in his heart, he collected himself, and pulled the rope again to send a signal to Ye Tao

But still no response.

The sweat from Shen Tingbei's palms made him almost unable to hold the rope steadily. Gao Qian and Jin Shui also realized that something was wrong at this time, and the expressions on their faces became serious.

Shen Tingbei made a decisive decision, bit the flashlight, and took out a buckle from the tool bag.

He tied himself with the rope with buckles, then took off the flashlight in his mouth, and said to everyone: "I'll go in and have a look."

Gao Qian was nervous: "Let me go."

Seeing Shen Tingbei and Gao Qian scrambling to enter the cave, Xu Yun sat on the spot and sighed indifferently, "Don't worry, just wait a little longer."

Before Shen Tingbei realized what Xu Yun meant, he saw a cold light from a flashlight coming out of the hole on the left, and following the light came out a familiar figure

Ye Tao really came back from the other end!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and panic again.Ye Tao came out, but at the same time, what Xu Yun said was true, they were trapped here.

The way in has disappeared, and the way out is connected end to end...

When Shen Tingbei was busy opening the buckle, the crowd had already gathered around Ye Tao.

Ye Tao was not in a hurry to answer everyone's questions, but asked Shen Tingbei first: "Did the rope stay straight just now?"

Shen Tingbei paused, then nodded.

Ye Tao's expression became serious, "The tunnel is a straight road, and I didn't make any turns."

How can two tunnels extending straight in different directions be connected?

Ye Tao didn't hesitate, and took back the rope on his body, "I'll try from here."

Shen Tingbei nodded, Gao Qian followed Ye Tao into the tunnel with a flashlight this time.

After more than ten minutes, Gao Qian and Ye Tao came out from the other hole together.

The faces of the two of them were a little pale under the cold light of the flashlight.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not good-looking.Especially for the few newcomers who entered the town, Gong Qiyun, who had a weaker mental capacity, was already sobbing and crying.

Andrew has been sitting still, seeing Ye Tao and the others walking back and forth was already upset, and now he became even more impatient after hearing Gong Qiyun's cry.

He viciously grabbed Gong Qiyun's collar and said in a rough voice, "Don't cry!"

Gong Qiyun was taken aback, she stopped crying, but started to hiccup.

Shen Tingbei and Ye Tao looked at each other, they gathered everyone together, formed a big circle and sat down.

Ye Tao: "There is no problem with the inference at the beginning, the town will not let us go out so easily. Since it is expected, you don't need to panic. Our material reserves are enough for us to survive here for about ten days, and now we will start distributing materials After the supplies are distributed, we will start to think of ways to get out."

The crowd nodded.

Brother Ye and Brother Xiaobei were right. They were prepared for a protracted battle when they first came in. It was expected that the cave would look like this now.

As long as Brother Ye and Brother Xiaobei are here, they will definitely be able to go out.

After Ye Tao gathered all the supplies together, he divided them into twelve equal shares, including the little golden retriever, which has its own dog food.

The clothes and sheets brought by Luo Yi and Jin Shui were also spread together as a place to rest at night.

After Ye Tao distributed the food to everyone, he found that there was an extra food and water in his hand.

He paused, stood up and held up a flashlight to count the number of people in the rotunda.

The first time, 12 people.

The second time, 12 people.

The third time, there were still 12 people.

Shen Tingbei, himself, Gao Qian, Luo Yi, Han Yuanhe, Jin Shui, Xu Yun, Qiao Yan, Gong Qiyun, Chen Dandan, Andrew.

11 people, and only 11 people.

But whether it was the extra food in his hand, or the number of people who had to be counted just now, they all clearly reminded him that there was a problem with the number of people.

Shen Tingbei also found something wrong from Ye Tao's actions, he turned his head to look at Gao Qian, "You counted the number of people before coming in, right?"

Gao Qian also showed a puzzled expression, "Yes..."

But he counted twice that only 13 people came in. Besides, if he really missed a newcomer, they should have discovered it when they were collecting supplies everywhere in the town.

Jin Shui felt a chill approaching her forehead. After a long pause, she unconsciously asked softly, "Among us, is there... one more person?"

As soon as Jin Shui's voice fell, there was a gust of cool wind in the inexplicable round hall, as if something was blowing behind everyone's ears.

Shen Tingbei was stunned. He calculated and calculated that the number was indeed 11, but every time he counted the heads, one more person would come out inexplicably.

He frowned tightly and didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone sitting together in the round hall was sweating profusely at the moment, not only did they not dare to breathe out, they even didn't have the courage to turn their heads to see where the wind was coming from.

Ye Tao said: "The town will definitely play all kinds of tricks to make us panic. What she likes is to see us embarrassed and frightened."

Ye Tao stood up, and placed the flashlights vertically on the ground at intervals, lighting up a large area, "So fear is an unnecessary emotion, and you can think of ways when you have time."

The bright flashlight dispelled the fear of many people, and everyone's complexion improved a little.

Shen Tingbei also stood up and nodded, "The town has blurred our sense of numbers. This is actually a reminder. Could our sense of the tunnel be blurred in the same way, which is why we feel unable to go out ?”

Everyone's attention was attracted by the guess put forward by Shen Tingbei.

"When we count the people, we clearly know that there are only eleven people here, but when it comes to counting the heads, the concept of numbers will be blurred. Then when we walk into the tunnel, maybe we also have some sense of being blurred gone."

When Shen Tingbei said this, his eyes became firmer, "I'll try to walk in with my eyes closed without using the flashlight."

Ye Tao stood up: "I'm with you."

Qiao Yan grabbed Ye Tao at this moment.

He looked serious, serious and with obvious panic, "You and Xiaobei can't go in at the same time. What if you both go out, what if we stay here?"

What Qiao Yan said made sense, but it made people very uncomfortable.

Gao Qian stood up and took a look at Qiao Yan, then extinguished the flashlight he was carrying, checked the stick and dagger he was carrying, and said, "I will go in with Brother Xiaobei."

Shen Tingbei and Gao Qian stood at the entrance on the right, Ye Tao tied a rope to Shen Tingbei's body, with some worry in his eyes.

He and Shen Tingbei hadn't completely reconciled, and they didn't make it clear what they should talk about. In short, they were still tied up in a mess.

Shen Tingbei smiled and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will pull the rope and blow the whistle in some cases."

Ye Tao nodded.

Shen Tingbei and Gao Qian looked at each other, nodded to each other, then both closed their eyes, and walked into the tunnel in the dark one after the other.

At the beginning, the two were still walking steadily while touching the wall.

But the deeper they went, after Ye Tao's voices completely disappeared in the cave, their footsteps gradually slowed down.

Because he closed his eyes, he could only feel everything around him through the rest of his senses, so the mud hole, which was originally quite ordinary, seemed to become hideous at this moment.

Gao Qian joked that he always felt that something would appear in the mud hole in the next second, which startled the two of them.

Shen Tingbei was noncommittal, and only said that if there were monsters, according to the rules of the town, they should only appear at night. Now they are all wearing watches, and it's just evening.

Shen Tingbei and Gao Qian were chatting one after another, talking about what was boring, talking about ordinary things, and talking about what was lively.

No way, in this dark environment, only the voices of familiar people around you can make you feel supported and at ease for a moment.

Shen Tingbei felt the wet soil under his hands, and said casually: "There seems to be an underground water source in this cave?"

Gao Qian nodded in agreement, "It's really too wet."

"Wait!" Shen Tingbei suddenly thought of something, and he closed his eyes a little excitedly, "If there is underground water, then there must be underground water channels! Why do we have to find the exit through these two weird tunnels!"

The more Shen Tingbei thought about it, the more he was right, "That's right, these two tunnels are like the town giving us multiple choice questions, but maybe the real answer is not in these two tunnels!"

Shen Tingbei's excited voice was swallowed by the darkness, but it was magnified by the darkness, spreading far, far away...

The author has something to say: Is one less number of people really a reminder?
