Retracting his gaze that fell on the blurred footprints on the ground, Wen Chenglong raised his head and watched around and said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to the weapons in his hand, find a suspicious threatening target, and allow him to fire freely."

"yes!"

As the men shouted neatly, Zhao Yongqi slowly stood up, and the strong light in his hand swept back and forth to the inside of the newly emerging cave, and the two star eyes also moved continuously with the light.

The cave in front of you is not so much a space as a relatively open area in the gap cave. The left side is roughly the same as the gap stone wall that came in before, while the right side is sunk inward, forming a space of about 100 meters.

There was nothing special on the stone wall, and even the holes for those snakes, insects, rats and ants to pass through were not found. Zhao Yongqi's eyes naturally would not stay on these common rocks for too long.

Zhao Yongqi, who pressed down the strong light and began to look at the ground, moved slowly along the footprints he had discovered before the dagger and the masked man. Although the footprints were blurry, it was still obvious that the distance was relatively large. It was obvious that the owners of the footprints were moving in a hurry at that time.

Walking forward slowly and going around the sank of the stone wall, Zhao Yongqi's eyes remained on the ground, while Wen Chenglong, who held his pistol tightly and overlapped with the strong light in his left hand, maintaining his shooting posture at any time, kept his attention around, obviously protecting the man in front of him.

Following the traces all the way to the cave sank, Zhao Yongqi stopped, squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground, and stood up and said to Wen Chenglong: "It's not wrong. Those young people should be chased by something. Judging from the traces, they hurried into this area and hid behind this stone wall or stopped to watch the situation behind them, so the footprints here were particularly messy. After that, they should continue to move forward without choosing to return to the cave they had entered before."

"Then let's catch up now?" Wen Chenglong looked around and found that his brothers were observing around in this space, and then asked Zhao Yongqi a question softly.

"Well, no matter what, we can basically judge that they are very nervous and move in a hurry, which means they realize that they are in danger. Let's go in and see where they are hiding. If we really can't find someone, we will quit first and wait until the professional rescue team arrives." After thinking about it, Zhao Yongqi gave a relatively steady proposal.

"Okay." Wen Chenglong didn't say anything nonsense. He turned around and shook it with a few times. A group of men immediately began to gather and moved towards the depths of the cave according to the previous queue.

Because I dare not move forward too quickly to avoid unnecessary accidental damage, the entire team's movement speed is not fast, at most it is the normal walking speed. Along the way, the dagger and masked man in the front often need to stop and judge the marks of the person who came before, so as not to miss important information.

When we walked about seventy or eighty meters away, a trouble appeared in front of everyone.

"Six forks?" Looking at the six caves lined up in front of you, everyone was stunned. Zhao Yongqi was not out of the box and grabbed the messy hair and muttered to himself: "Is this going to take a picture of the escape from the maze?"

"Dagger, can we judge the direction of the other party's movement?" Wen Chenglong obviously had no intention of joking. At this moment, he had already begun to regret letting Zhao Yongqi enter this damn place.

"Brother Long, wait a moment, we are looking for it." Dagger's words could be heard a little helpless.

"Look?" Zhao Yongqi instantly heard the problem in the dagger's voice. He stepped forward two steps and stood beside the dagger crouching on the ground. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Lei, can't find any trace?"

"It's not that I can't find it, but that there are traces of walking in almost every fork at the fork." The dagger pointed at the blurry traces weakly, and thought about it before saying helplessly: "This place is far away from the place where I came in, and the water marks on those people seem to have almost no traces of dripping. I can only find traces from the distribution of these dust and tiny gravels. But the problem is that they seem to run around here, and each cave has been in and out of the fork, so..."

Zhao Yongqi, who understood why the dagger was in a dilemma, looked at the six bifurcated caves, held up the strong light in his hand and walked back and forth, illuminating the depths of the bifurcated caves every time, but his sword eyebrows never let go.

"It's a bit strange." Zhao Yongqi walked back to Wen Chenglong, as if he didn't want to interfere with other people's work. He lowered his voice and said: "I looked at every fork. At least in the irradiation range of the strong lights hundreds of meters, I didn't see any blockage. If this is the case, even if they ran away wrong and found that they were back to death, they would have been delayed a lot of time here, right? But according to Brother Lei's analysis, it seems..."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Qi is right." He clapped the dust on his hands and said in a deep voice: "Their behavior is very strange. Judging from the traces, they did not go in and out of the cave repeatedly, but were scattered into the passages after running around here. This is simply unreasonable."

"Brother Long, Brother Xiao Qi, could it be poisoning or something that causes mental disorder?" The artillery on the other side, who was responsible for defense, put forward his own assumptions.

"It's possible, but it's not very likely." Zhao Yongqi shook his head and said, "This pit has been around for quite a while. And when they fell in, the pit already existed, not before they collapsed. If we calculate this way, even if this poisonous gas exists in the cave at the beginning, the possibility of them inhaling it is not high. After all, it's unreasonable that they inhaled the poisonous gas when they came down, but there was nothing we had to do after we got down. If there was really poisonous gas, either it had dissipated at the beginning and they couldn't absorb it, or even if we came in, we should inhale the poisonous gas."

Zhao Yongqi's words undoubtedly convinced everyone present. In fact, the reason is very simple. There is no poisonous gas in the world that can only take effect by "selecting people".

After thinking about it, Zhao Yongqi said to the dagger: "Brother Lei, can you tell which fork has the most people entering?"

"This is what I was about to say." The dagger turned around and pointed at the six forks and said, "According to the previous group of boys in the village, there were a total of five people who fell in, right? But each fork here has traces of people walking, and I won't talk about him. According to the difference in footprints, we found the footprints of at least nine people!"

"Nine people? Are you sure?" Zhao Yongqi and Wen Chenglong were shocked, and stared at the dagger at the same time.

"Ge Lei is right. There are at least nine people, maybe more, but it's hard to tell the difference alone." The masked man who was walking from the other side nodded and affirmed.

I wish you all new year and a happy family.
