Chapter 28: The Underground System of the City(1/2)

The Three Kingdoms of Lu are Ma Ranry's boss.

Many tomb robbers just earn labor fees, and the real boss is the boss behind the scenes.

Now, almost all ancient tombs in various places have been flipped. Only Lop Nur dares to come. It is the throat of the ancient Silk Road, and there must be many treasures underground.

I speculate that the three countries of Lu chose Lop Nur for this reason. He may also have a detailed distribution map of Lop Nur tombs, and even understand what precious things are buried here.

I suspect that he hired the outside world, and the outside world died. He might have thought that the outside world had dug something and then fled alone.

This time, he personally brought Ma Ran to Lop Nur again, first to look for a voyage, and second to prepare to start another groundbreaking.

Unexpectedly, this trip was in a ecstasy...

Three hours before Ma Ran died, he talked about his horrible experience intermittently, his face getting paler and so white that it was scary. His facial features were also obviously crooked.

I had a premonition that he would not live tonight.

Sure enough, he had hallucinations several times and suddenly struggled to sit up. I held him down and asked loudly, "What are you going to do?"

He said: "The time is up, we have made an appointment to play basketball..."

I pressed him on my sleeping bag and brought him water. He didn't drink it, and continued to mutter something in his mouth.

Before he died, he no longer recognized anyone. He grabbed the three kingdoms of Lu and approached the ears of the three kingdoms of Lu with difficulty, as if he wanted to reveal some secrets. The three kingdoms of Lu put their ears over, and I heard him say mysteriously: "Three kingdoms of Lu... are...my boss..."

The Three Kingdoms of Lu listened quietly without any expression.

He knew, we all heard it.

After Ma Ran said this, his eyes began to dissipate, and finally half-squinted and frozen.

I thought the three countries of Lu would explain, for example: "He is talking nonsense."

However, he did not. He gently placed the horse on the sleeping bag, without saying a word, his eyes were wet.

The bearded man Ma Ran met, I believe, was my father's accomplice.

They live underground.

Just like the woman with long hair and waist-length hair I met in Mengou Village when I went to explore the ancient tomb in northern Shaanxi in 2007.

No one in the village has seen her, she also comes from underground.

So, how many of them are there?

I still have 5 bullets left in my pistol. I don’t know if I can fire it. I need to figure out this problem.

Continue to think about it - they drilled out of the ground in Lop Nur and a mountain village in northern Shaanxi. So, are there any of their kind in the city?

We all live on the ground, almost ignoring the ground.

In fact, there is another world underground in the city, closed, humid, cold and no one knows about it.

Occasionally, someone fell into a sewer without a manhole cover and drowned. The whereabouts of the body were unknown. We were led by the media and looked at the underground. Soon, we returned to the sunny life, busy and cursed every day.

So, what are there underground?

Let’s talk about pipelines first - there are water supply pipes, sewage pipes, thermal pipes, gas pipes, power supply pipes, communication pipes, optical cable pipes, cable pipes, cable pipes, etc. underground.

On average, in Chinese cities, the length of pipelines per square kilometer is about 25 kilometers.

These underground pipelines are divided into three categories: civilian, industrial and military: electricity, communications, gas, tap water, sewage, etc., and industrial pipelines between regions pass through cities. Military use is confidential and unknown.

It is known that the country's laws and regulations on the development and utilization of underground space are not yet sound, and urban underground space development and utilization lacks unified planning, unified planning, unified standards, and unified management. Just pipelines involve dozens of units such as urban construction, planning, electricity, gas, radio and television, and communications.

These pipelines are complicated, some are registered in the planning department, while others may not be registered. Even the pipeline subordinate departments are confused and cannot come up with an accurate pipeline distribution chart.

In addition, there are oil depots, vaults, garbage dumps, sewage treatment stations, libraries, tombs, underground rivers, secret military command posts, seismic facilities, civil defense projects, etc. underground.

As for Lancheng, the per capita housing area is about 20 square meters, and the per capita housing area in the city has exceeded 1 square meter. The population is 3 million. So, from this logic, 150,000 people can survive underground, which is spacious.

Where did you say so many people come from?

So, what about 15,000 people?

Where are 1,500 people?

Where are 150 people?

15 people?

What about 1.5 people?

If the underground system is like the blood vessels of a city, then those special people are the roundworms that live in the blood vessels.

There is a Beijing reader who once told me an unsolvable experience that I still misunderstood-

One night, he finished singing in the karaoke bar and went home. He walked in the alley and saw a cat huddled beside the trash can and screaming weakly.

This reader has three stray cats and is very affectionate about them.

He wanted to walk over and pick up the cat home, but a man appeared. He walked to the garbage can, rudely pulled one of the cat's legs, and strode away.

The reader began to worry about the fate of the cat. After thinking about it, he quickly chased after it. The man didn't look back, but seemed to be able to see him, walking faster and faster. The cat scratched and kicked, screaming.

Finally, he got into a sewer without a manhole cover and disappeared.

The reader judged that the other party was a homeless man and he might want to kill the cat, so he impulsively got into the sewer. The bottom of the pit was covered with garbage and it was stinking.

He turned on the flashlight on his phone, covered his nose, groped forward, and saw the man's back again.

The cat in his hand disappeared.

The reader took a photo around and asked loudly: "Hi, where is the cat!"

The man turned around, leaving only a bloody cat leg in his hand.

The man smiled, his teeth were very white: "Just a stray cat, no need to worry about it."

Then it disappeared into the dark sewer.

The reader thought about it and suddenly understood what he said, just like his body suddenly touched the electric shock...

The horse died in the tent.

No matter what Lao Ding does or what Ma Ran’s identity is, we lost two teammates that night.

I called the chapter in.

Lu Sanguo said: "Mr. Zhou, should we bury him?"

I said, "Let me talk first. Now everyone is asleep. Let's hide it. I said that Ma Ran has never come back."

The Three Kingdoms of Lu nodded.

I looked at Zhang Hui and Wu Min: "Do you agree?"

Chapter nodded.

Wu Min also nodded. Since Ma Ran died, Wu Min hid in a corner of the tent.

Then, I bent down to lift my horse, but Lu Three Kingdoms blocked me: "I'll do it."

Zhang Hui helped to help Ma Ran on the back of the Three Kingdoms of Lu. He stepped out of the tent and walked outside the camp.

Wu Min said: "Do you use me?"

I said, "If you are afraid, don't go."

Wu Min said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm sad..."

Then, Zhang Hui and I took out two engineer shovels from the car and chased Lu Three Kingdoms.

The three men walked westward for half a kilometer, and Zhang replied, "Let's just bury it here."

The three kingdoms of Lu stopped and gently placed the horse on the sand.

I used a flashlight to light up, and just a few meters away, another flower carved from sand appeared. I don’t know when it was formed, but it seemed that I was waiting for Ma Ran’s body here.

I stepped on it with anger, and it turned into sand and returned to the desert.

I said, "Change a different place!"

This time, Zhang Hui carried the horse on his back and continued to walk forward. After walking another 100 or 200 meters, I said, "Stop."

This area is full of soft sand, which is easy to dig. Zhang Hui and I spent half an hour using it, then dug a deep pit, then put the horse in and buried it in a hurry.

There was an extra sandbag on the ground. Ma Ran liked underground, and now he finally went underground.

We can't leave anything for him to mark, so that's it.

On the way back, Lu Sanguo said: "Mr. Zhou, have we been waiting for rescue here?"

I said, "We have no guide and no navigation device, and it is basically impossible to go out. Now, we have found this lake and don't leave it easily. I worry that as soon as we leave, it will no longer exist."

Lu Sanguo said: "But it is not a solution to stay here..."

I said, "I have three fantasies..."

Lu Sanguo said: "Hmm?"

I said, "The first one - Ma Ran encountered a ghost and hit the wall, and we were lost in this place. In essence, it was actually encountered a bigger ghost and hit the wall. I hope one day I can reach a reconciliation with the group of things that were invaded underground. I suspect that all this was the illusion they created..."

The Three Kingdoms of Lu said: "Where is the second one?"
