Chapter 2070: There is someone up there
Aaron looked half-dead, and the only one who could help was himself.
"Help me carry the shelves over there." Lin Ran said.
The lights had begun to grow dimmer.
Although Ke Hui didn't know what Lin Ran wanted to do, he felt that Lin Ran would not do anything unnecessary.
He nodded and came to help.
Two people carried the shelves to the stone.
"Can I block monsters with this thing?" Aaron felt that Lin Ran was a little too naive.
The stone door is their last line of defense. If the door is broken, it is impossible for the shelves to stop the monsters.
Lin Ran climbed onto the shelf not to block the monster.
"Maybe we can go up from here." Lin Ran said.
"What?" The others were stunned.
"We are just blocked at the tunnel intersection, right?" Lin Ran explained directly.
He was just calculating the distance.
If he guessed correctly, the entrance to the tunnel was above the position he occupied now, and it should be on the left and right sides of the falling rock.
If there were tools to dig up from here, they would have a way to leave.
The idea was good, but Guan Yun sighed.
"We don't have the tools right now."
"Yes." Lin Ran pointed to the bronze vessels on the ground and said, "Just use them."
Several people turned their attention to the deformed bronze on the ground.
Above is red stone that is already somewhat damp.
"Do you really want to dig?"
"Of course." Lin Ran knew that now was the only way.
He could only bet that the soil here would not be too thick.
In fact, there are advantages to digging from the bottom up. Because of gravity, the excavated soil above will fall directly. Compared with digging on the ground, you have to shovel the soil away, which saves a step.
The others stared at him, but now they seemed to have no choice.
Ke Hui ran to the shelf and dug in with him.
Now it's a race against time, and there's also an element of luck involved.
No one knew how long it would take to dig to reach the top, and no one knew whether Lin Ran's estimate was accurate.
But they followed Lin Ran's instructions and started digging upwards.
I didn't expect bronze to have such a function.
At a glance, this should be a bronze from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is quite valuable for collection.
Normally, Aaron and the others would have been reluctant to touch it, but now it was being used as a digging tool, which was a waste of natural resources.
In desperate times, they acted very quickly.
It didn't take long before a big hole was dug.
But it also consumed a lot of physical strength. Ke Hui had never done any physical work in the first place, and he was already panting from exhaustion and sat directly on the ground.
"Lin Ran, can we really go out?" He asked tiredly and worriedly.
Lin Ran was still busy on it, and he wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
We have already dug such a big hole, and we should be able to dig to the top in a while.
Because he noticed that the entire ramp continued upwards.
The steps they took down went all the way down.
So this should be the weakest link.
In fact, it is not necessary to dig outside. Even if they dig under the stone, they can use force to the side to dig a way to the outside.
But just when he was about to take action, there was a sudden explosion.
Lin Ran's whole body was shaken off balance by the sudden shock. Fortunately, he was agile and caught the shelf when he was about to fall.
The entire shelf was about to topple over. Guan Yun suddenly stepped forward to hold the shelf up while keeping Lin Ran balanced.
"Thank you." Lin Ran expressed his gratitude.
Guan Yun had no expression on his face, staring at the stone door behind him.
"I'll hold it up for you, please be careful." They thought it was just because the shelf was unstable.
Only Lin Ran knew what must have happened above to cause the explosion.
Could it be that other traps were detonated?
At the same time, outside.
A Ming also broke into a cold sweat when he saw that there was no movement on the stone.
"No, this rock is thicker than I thought. More explosives need to be set up." A Ming said.
The amount of explosive they used was quite large, but it still could only create a small crater.
They couldn't go any further and had to increase the dose.
"Can the cave hold up?" Wang Jinpeng was a little worried.
"I don't know." A Ming shook his head, "But we must evacuate the cave first."
The amount of explosives he wanted to set was so large that they couldn't be stopped by rocks in the cave.
Wang Jinpeng quit immediately.
"The people inside are inherently dangerous. We are increasing the amount of explosives, fearing that it will collapse directly."
He would rather spend more time trying to preserve the integrity of the cave.
Otherwise the people buried underneath would be dead.
A Ming was also very distressed. If he could get the best of both worlds, he would naturally accept it.
But the fact is that trade-offs must be made.
"Let them be suffocated inside, or should we take a risk?" A Ming looked at Liu Jingfeng and said.
Only the boss can make the decision now.
Liu Jingfeng thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
"Time waits for no one, increase the amount of explosives."
Although it might threaten the structural stability of the cave and put the people inside in greater danger, they had no better way.
Although Wang Jinpeng was a little disappointed, he also understood that Liu Jingfeng's decision was actually for Lin Ran's safety.
"Okay." He lowered his hand gently and looked at the cave.
It would be great if I could hear Lin Ran's voice. I don't know what happened inside?
It looks like there must have been an explosion, otherwise it would not have collapsed like this.
In the cave, Lin Ran heard some noises after hearing the explosion.
This is exactly what he thought, it is the thinnest place.
Even though he couldn't hear clearly, he could feel that someone was up there.
Let people on the outside know that they are down there.
Lin Ran felt anxious, and now he had no idea who was up there.
If they were from the treasure hunting party, they would be dead.
It seems that they are more likely to be from the Treasure Hunting Club and Abao. As for other people who may help him, the archaeological team?Don't count on it.
Ke Hui stood up, covered in sweat.
He looked at Lin Ran and said, "Lin Ran, let's save some strength."
He never gave up hope from beginning to end, but he felt that the possibility of leaving by digging a hole was very slim.
It's better to risk fighting the monsters outside.
After all, they still have pistols in their hands. As long as they can kill the monster, they may be able to find a way out.
It was almost impossible to see clearly under the kerosene lamp, and Lin Ran had to make a decision.
He could tell that these people were starting to feel short of breath.
"We will definitely find a way out." Lin Ran shouted in his heart.
Then he decided to take a risk.
He took two bronze vessels and struck them on his hands.
