Chapter 1089 Rescue

Ma Lu insisted on going on, but Zhang Heng couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.

Because he also knew that the subway company would most likely not let them run around in the tunnel without one of his own, so Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan looked at each other and agreed to Ma Lu's request.

So after that, Malu asked the other two inspectors to continue searching along the tunnel, while he took the lead and climbed down the iron ladder.

The three people's shoes made a creaking sound when they stepped on the rusty iron bars, breaking the calm of the underground world below.

When he first saw the abandoned platform, Ma Lu's feeling was similar to that of Cheng Sihan. Although he had worked for the subway company for twenty years and had heard some sporadic rumors during this period, this was also what he felt. This is the first time I saw this abandoned subway line.

After landing, he turned on the flashlight in his hand and looked around carefully.

At first glance, this platform looks very similar to the platform on the subway line above, but if you look closely, you can still feel the difference. After all, in order to meet the growing number of passengers and the needs of modern travel, the platform above has experienced several times. Renovated and rebuilt.

However, probably due to the sudden stoppage of construction, this platform has perfectly preserved its appearance when it was first built, and many characteristics of the times can be seen.

While Malu was looking at the surrounding buildings, Zhang Heng was also observing the footprints on the ground. Because no one had been there for a long time, a lot of dust had accumulated on this platform. For ordinary people, especially those with certain mysophobia, People who saw this scene would probably feel uncomfortable instinctively, but for Zhang Heng, it was precisely because of the existence of these dust that he could perfectly record the movements of Cheng Sihan and β.

Zhang Heng could even deduce the standing posture and moving speed of the two people at that time from these footprints. Following the footprints left on the dust, Zhang Heng turned the flashlight to the entrance of the tunnel not far away.

"Did they run there?" Malu also noticed the footprints on the ground.

"One chase and one escape, yes." Zhang Heng said, "And there are no returning footprints around here, so they either left through this tunnel on another platform, or they are still in the tunnel."

"Great, let's go get them back quickly." Ma Lu showed a hint of joy when he heard this.

But Zhang Heng was not as relaxed as Ma Lu. Instead, he frowned slightly.

"What?" Fan Meinan on the side noticed Zhang Heng's solemn expression.

In her memory, Zhang Heng was very calm most of the time, with almost no expression on his face. No matter how dangerous and harsh the environment he was in, he always seemed to be able to find a solution. This was her It was the first time I saw this kind of expression on Zhang Heng's face, "Do you feel Loki is nearby?"

"I don't know," Zhang Heng said, "I just vaguely noticed something in this tunnel. As for whether it's Loki or someone else, I don't know."

Zhang Heng noticed that Ma Lu could not wait to walk into the tunnel, so he also said to Fan Meinan, "Let's go, your sister and β have already gone in. No matter what is inside, we have to go and see it for a while."

Malu is the leader of the inspection team, and no one is more familiar with subway tunnels than him, so ordinary people may still have some fear and hesitation when they see the dark tunnel entrance in front of them, but he only feels extremely friendly. Without hesitation, he raised his legs and stepped in.

And as he walked, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Is there anyone there? I'm here to take you out."

In the end, the only thing that responded to him was his echo. Malu was not too discouraged. After all, it had been almost forty minutes since the two people in the surveillance camera jumped off the platform. If the two of them kept walking along this tunnel, it would have been already. It was a long way out, so he strode forward and kept calling.

Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan followed him about two meters away.

In fact, in this case, it would be best for the three of them to act silently, because they don't know what dangers lie ahead. Exposing themselves prematurely and keeping the enemy in the dark is not a good choice.

But just as it was difficult for them to stop Ma Lu from coming down, it was now difficult for Zhang Heng to stop Malu from shouting loudly. After all, if this was a normal search and rescue operation, Malu's current behavior would be more reasonable. On the contrary, it was Zhang Heng who was silent behind him. Heng and Fan Meinan seemed a little inexperienced.

However, Ma Lu did not complain about the two of them. He actually did not know their origins, but the leaders above asked them to participate in the rescue. Ma Lu was initially worried that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were the kind of people who liked to give random orders. , gesticulating and giving orders everywhere, but fortunately the two of them were very cooperative along the way, allowing him to organize and arrange the work. He just followed behind quietly and didn't say much, and also reminded him to pay attention to the lock and footprints on the iron door.

Until now, the rescue work has been going smoothly, even beyond Malu's expectations. As long as the two people who jumped off the platform are found in this tunnel, the mission can be successfully completed. Therefore, Malu He didn't care much about the minutiae of whether Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan called people like him.

Fan Meinan showed her mobile phone to Zhang Heng, indicating that there was no signal here, but this did explain why Fan Meinan later sent a message to Cheng Sihan but the latter did not respond.

The three of them walked like this for about forty minutes, when Ma Lu suddenly stopped and muttered, "Weird."

"What's weird?" Fan Meinan asked.

She was also paying attention to her surroundings along the way. She had to say that this tunnel gave people a rather eerie feeling. Maybe it was because it had been abandoned for so long. Not a single mouse was seen. Of course, considering that there is no food and water sources needed for mice to live here, it can be explained that there are no mice to survive.

But this is not annoying at all.

At least so far Fan Meinan hasn't seen anything particularly strange and needs attention, but the scenery along the way is a bit monotonous.

"We have walked a long distance, but why haven't we seen the next platform yet?" Malu looked puzzled.

He himself is an employee of the subway company and patrols the lines every day, so of course he knows the distance between platforms better than the average person. The subway is originally a public transport built for the convenience of travel, except for some special lines like the airport line. , generally speaking, the distance between stations is not too far, but now they have been walking for forty minutes, and it stands to reason that they should have reached the next platform long ago.
