I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, and a timid voice came:

"Sister Xiaoxian, it's getting dark again..."

Zhang Xiaoxian looked back and saw a girl who looked younger standing behind her.

The childishness on her face had not yet completely faded, but her eyes were now filled with fear.

She is Zhang Xiaoxian's assistant and a college student who has just graduated from school.

According to the arrangement, Zhang Xiaoxian became her mentor, and naturally brought her to participate in this operation.

"Tangtang, there's nothing to be afraid of. Don't forget, we all have to believe in science!"

Zhang Xiaoxian gently pulled Tangtang into the tent and calmed her down.

However, the panic and fear in Tangtang's eyes did not subside:

"Sister Xiaoxian, I know we have to believe in science, but this is really a bit too weird.

We have been here for three days, and every night, the entire Lintong District is shrouded in thick fog.

and……"

Having said that, Tangtang subconsciously glanced at the radio on the table.

Zhang Xiaoxian actually understands Tangtang's condition very well.

After all, some things that happened after I came here were really weird.

That was their first day in Lintong District. After some exploration with Professor Zhu, they set up camp near the ancient tomb.

Everything was normal until the night grew darker, around eleven o'clock, when a thick fog suddenly rose outside.

It is rare to have heavy fog when there is continuous heavy rain.

But more importantly, along with the fog came strange things that were simply inexplicable.

After finally calming Tangtang down, Zhang Xiaoxian looked outside with a serious expression.

Just like the previous few days, it was almost eleven o'clock and there was heavy fog outside again.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

A strange sound came from the radio that was originally placed on the table and turned off.

Although this matter can be explained by reasons such as the influence of magnetic fields, it still makes people feel a little uneasy.

This situation did not only happen in Zhang Xiaoxian's tent, but also in other tents.

There were gusts of cold wind and strange fog. No wonder Tangtang, who had just entered society, felt very scared.

Although Zhang Xiaoxian felt a little nervous, she had experienced a lot after all, so she was not emotionally out of control.

She was sorting out the research materials on the table when she was suddenly startled by a strange sound.

"Woo...Woo..."

Zhang Xiaoxian stood up immediately, focused all her attention on her ears, and tried her best to identify the source of the sound.

It sounded like crying, or a woman’s crying…

Zhang Xiaoxian immediately thought, could it be Tangtang?

She was really worried, so she put on a piece of clothing and wanted to go to Tangtang's tent to take a look.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the tent, Zhang Xiaoxian was shocked by the scene before her.

Although there was heavy fog a few days ago, it was far from being as dense as this.

It was clearly raining heavily, so how could there be such a pitch-black fog?

Moreover, the white mist seemed to have condensed into a solid entity, and when the rain fell, it did not dissipate at all...

The woman's crying sounded so loud that it was impossible to tell the direction.

Even Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't be sure whether this was because of the rumors?

She frowned and looked around. The tent was obviously very close, but she could not see it at all in the thick fog.

"Tangtang...Tangtang?" she called softly, hoping to get a response.

Zhang Xiaoxian tried to call the assistant, but got no response.

At this moment, she felt desolate as if she was the only one left in the world.

This situation was so weird that it made Zhang Xiaoxian feel a chill down her spine.

Relying on her memory, she walked towards Tangtang's tent.

However, the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong.

The tents of the scientific research team are built next to each other, so you should be able to see Tangtang’s tent after walking a few steps.

But now, Zhang Xiaoxian could see nothing but white fog.

This made her feel uneasy, and when she looked back, even her tent had disappeared.

"Sugar...Sugar?"

In the storm, it seemed that only Zhang Xiaoxian's voice was floating.

The strange crying sound had disappeared, but Zhang Xiaoxian felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxian saw a vague figure in the white fog in the distance.

The feeling of loneliness and desolation was swept away, and she quickened her pace:

"Tangtang, is that you?"

However, just as Zhang Xiaoxian was chasing after the figure, an unexpected voice came from behind:

"Sister Xiaoxian, I'm here, where are you going?"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Xiaoxian immediately stopped and turned around mechanically, her eyes full of disbelief.

At this time, Tangtang was standing behind her, and the tent was clearly visible, not covered by the white fog.

But Zhang Xiaoxian remembered that when she looked back just now, there was only paleness and she could not see anything.

and many more……

Zhang Xiaoxian suddenly realized something.

When they set up the tents earlier, their tents were built behind others to ensure privacy.

In other words, behind her tent was Tangtang's tent, and behind that were the mountains and the ancient tomb that had been washed out.

If Tangtang was behind me, then who was the figure I saw just now?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxian quickly looked back, but there was no figure in the white fog.

Is it an illusion?

But I just saw it...

Zhang Xiaoxian was very confused, but she couldn't be sure whether what she saw was real.

"Sister Xiaoxian, what are you looking at? Don't scare me!"

Tangtang felt a little uneasy when she saw Zhang Xiaoxian's strange behavior.

Zhang Xiaoxian didn't want Tangtang to think too much, so she didn't tell anyone about it.

"It's okay, I just came to see you.

Don't be afraid, the weather is bad, go back to sleep quickly..."

Seeing that Tangtang was fine, Zhang Xiaoxian returned to her tent with deep doubts.

Was the crying sound of the woman just now really the sound of the wind?

But what about this white fog?

And that figure in the white fog, is he dazzled?

Zhang Xiaoxian was unable to make any judgement on what had just happened.

But that strange feeling kept lingering in her heart and would not go away for a long time.

It was unknown how long it had been before Zhang Xiaoxian fell into a deep sleep amidst such mixed emotions.

In a daze, she suddenly heard a noisy sound.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already daybreak.

Hearing the sound it sounded like Professor Zhu and his friends, Zhang Xiaoxian immediately perked up and walked out of the tent to check.

However, as soon as she came out of the tent, she saw Professor Zhu and several scientific researchers squatting on the ground not far away.

They didn't know what they were studying, but their faces were solemn...

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxian, Tangtang immediately walked over with a panicked look on her face.

"Tangtang, what happened?"

Zhang Xiaoxian asked in confusion.

In response, Tangtang swallowed deeply, then pointed in the direction of Professor Zhu and others, and said word by word:

"Today, Professor Zhu and his team discovered a series of footprints on the ground that had not yet been washed away by the rain..."

"Footprints?" Zhang Xiaoxian felt very incredible.

After all, there were only the exploration team and no one else in the camp.

If there were other people, it would be fine, because it meant that the road had been cleared and someone outside had come to save them...

But if someone came to rescue, how could he not show up?

So, how come a series of footprints appeared out of nowhere?

With deep doubts, Zhang Xiaoxian asked puzzledly: "Have you found out whose footprints they are?"

Tangtang shook her head in panic: "Professor Zhu and the others have compared the footprints, but they haven't found any corresponding person. So Professor Zhu's hypothesis is that these footprints are most likely from a stranger..."

When Tangtang said this, her voice was even trembling a little, and it was obvious that this situation had made her very uneasy.

Zhang Xiaoxian was relatively calm. She walked to Professor Zhu's side and saw the footprints still clear on the ground.

"Xiao Xian, you were close to here last night, didn't you notice anything strange?" Professor Zhu asked.

Zhang Xiaoxian shook her head instinctively, but in an instant she seemed to remember something and froze in place.

"Xiaoxian, are you okay?" Professor Zhu asked worriedly.

Zhang Xiaoxian said uncertainly: "I didn't take it too seriously at first, but now that you mention it, some strange things really happened yesterday..."

Then, Zhang Xiaoxian recounted what happened last night.

Her words sounded a little too incredible to others.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid no one would believe these words, but these words were said by Zhang Xiaoxian herself.

However, Zhang Xiaoxian's rank and status in the archaeological community are still very high. She is one of the best of the younger generation, so naturally no one would think that she is talking nonsense.

"Sister Xiaoxian, I saw you walking towards that direction yesterday. Was it because you saw a strange figure?" Tangtang recalled the rather strange scene when she saw Zhang Xiaoxian last night, and couldn't help but make some associations.

Zhang Xiaoxian nodded gently, confirming Tangtang's guess. The panic on Tangtang's face became more and more obvious.

Although Professor Zhu had his doubts, he quickly asked everyone.

However, the final result was that during that period of time, everyone stayed in their tents and no one went out.

This means that the strange figure that Zhang Xiaoxian saw did not belong to anyone, just like the footprints, it appeared inexplicably.

Professor Zhu vaguely realized that the situation was unusual and immediately asked someone to take photos for record.

The footprints were quickly washed away by the heavy rain, but the doubts of the crowd did not dissipate. This feeling was really creepy.

No one knows how these footprints were left behind, nor does anyone know what the strange thing that Zhang Xiaoxian said she encountered yesterday was.

Is there always someone hiding in the corner that they don’t know about?

But what was his purpose? Why did he appear in the camp on a rainy night? And why did he disappear without doing anything?

With deep doubts, Professor Zhu took several male agents to check around to see if there were any accessible entrances and exits.

But after going around in a circle, there was only one known mountain road that could lead down the mountain.

However, this mountain road has been completely paralyzed due to a landslide and is impassable.

This result also cast a cloud of doubt on everyone.

They became more and more curious about the source of the footprints and the strange figure mentioned by Zhang Xiaoxian.

Just when Professor Zhu was about to conduct an in-depth investigation, he received a telegram from the Central Theater Command.

The telegram included an inquiry from the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Theater about the progress of the investigation.

At this time, the commander of the Central Theater Command had already learned that the reinforcements were simply unable to join the investigation team, which meant that Professor Zhu and others were always in danger. Once the landslide became more serious, their lives would be in danger.

Professor Zhu also took this opportunity to express the dilemma of the investigation team: without professional equipment, they could not conduct in-depth exploration of the ancient tomb; and because the road was damaged, they could not evacuate effectively. The investigation team was in a desperate dilemma.

Even though Professor Zhu was proud and unwilling to seek any help, he had to mention it in the telegram at this time, hoping that other rescue teams could be sent as soon as possible.

After sending this telegram to the Central War Zone, Professor Zhu immediately organized a meeting of all investigators.

Looking at the team members sitting in the tent, Professor Zhu said solemnly: "Comrades, this is the most difficult problem we have ever encountered. The lack of professional equipment means that we cannot enter the ancient tomb at all, let alone conduct valuable exploration. And the longer we stay here, the greater the possibility of encountering danger. As you can see, we have been here for three days, and the heavy rain has not stopped for three days and three nights. We are not sure whether the surrounding mountains can withstand this test. If a landslide occurs again, we may not even have a chance to escape."

Professor Zhu’s words made the team members feel heavy in their hearts.

How could they not know about this?

I just don't want to face it...some team members even think that this kind of waiting is meaningless.

If the heavy rain continues, it will be impossible to clean the affected roads, and it will be impossible to deliver the required equipment and manpower.

Observing everyone, Professor Zhu sighed softly: "Comrades, our mission is to explore this ancient tomb. No matter how dangerous or difficult it is, we must hold on until the last moment. I know that some people will think that this kind of waiting is meaningless, but some things are not done because they are meaningful, but they will be meaningful only after they are done. I have asked for help from the Central Theater Command, and they are also trying to find a way to solve this matter. Everyone, please be patient..."

After Professor Zhu finished speaking, a younger male agent in the team asked in a somewhat negative tone: "Professor Zhu, what if the rainstorm never stops? What if the road surface cannot be repaired? Are we going to wait here aimlessly? Will we... die?"

The male agent's words left Professor Zhu at a loss for words, and all members fell silent.

Everyone's face turned a little gloomy, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Because it is true, even he does not know what the result of this waiting will be.

The surrounding mountains were crumbling in the heavy rain, like a time bomb hanging over everyone's heads.

Maybe one day I will be buried in the ruins while sleeping.

In this situation, it is normal for the team members to have such thoughts.
