The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (42)
The underground entrance was in a particularly conspicuous location, and it had clearly been deliberately fortified. A team of base personnel was stationed outside, and several temporary tents had even been set up.
"After you go down here, it's up to you. Our people will patrol down every four hours. We can't be sure how big it is down there, so please take good care of yourselves."
After Sister Man finished speaking, everyone began to enter in an orderly manner.
After walking downhill for a while, the road began to become a bit rugged, and the light obviously dimmed.
However, everyone was clearly prepared. When Song Ning took out his flashlight, he saw that Liang Anlin and his group had also taken out theirs. Other groups also had people taking out flashlights or kerosene lamps, but almost no one took out torches.
He thought about it again and realized he understood.
Torches are fine on the ground, but what if burning them causes oxygen to become scarce in an uncertain place like underground?
Who can guarantee that there won't be any problems with air circulation down here?
Clearly, everyone thought the same way, as about 90% of them were holding flashlights. Song Ning glanced over and saw that half of them were the same type as his, probably obtained by exchanging thirty-five pancakes.
A few of the men with kerosene lamps saw the others' equipment and, clearly realizing something, a look of annoyance flashed across their faces.
Liang Anlin looked thoughtful for a moment, then patted a young man next to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
The young man hesitated for two seconds, then obediently nodded and walked over.
Song Ning saw that the young man returned shortly afterward, and the flashlight in his hand had been replaced by a kerosene lamp.
He looked at Liang Anlin with some surprise. Liang Anlin didn't hide anything, "It's always best to be more careful. The situation underground is unclear. Having this lamp might help us detect some other problems sooner."
Song Ning thought about it and understood what he meant.
Kerosene lamps are a double-edged sword; if they end up in a place with thin oxygen, they can sound an alarm immediately, so it's not entirely a bad thing.
The subsequent groups did not converge in one direction; everyone worked together seamlessly, exploring in their own chosen areas.
On Song Ning's and Liang Anlin's side, Liang Anlin chose to explore southwards.
In his words, "Since ancient times, facing south has been considered superior, but I feel that perhaps things are better to the east or west of the south?"
The field was quiet; apart from their footsteps, even the sounds of insects could hardly be heard.
A group of people walked forward cautiously. Liang Anlin, Song Ning, and Black Panther were at the front, followed by several of Liang Anlin's strongest henchmen, all of whom were strong and muscular.
Following behind was Xiao Wu's transport team. Besides them, there were three other people who would stop on the road from time to time. One was responsible for making road signs, one was constantly looking around and drawing a map in a notebook, and the third was responsible for something that Song Ning didn't understand. However, after realizing that Liang Anlin's team was reliable, he stopped paying attention to those people.
The underground area was more spacious than he had imagined. Song Ning carefully swept his flashlight across the area before slowly moving it upwards.
Unfortunately, the collapse was much more serious than he had imagined; the flashlight had already dimmed considerably halfway up the mountain.
Song Ning could only regretfully shine the light back onto the ground.
Just as Liang Anlin was about to say something, Song Ning suddenly squatted down.
He was wearing a lot of clothes to keep warm, and squatted down, looking rather bulky from the tightness of his clothes. Song Ning looked at the marks on the ground, unsure, "This... seems to be a building?"
Liang Anlin: "Huh?"
The others were also surprised, spreading their legs or squatting down to shine the lights. Only then did they realize that Song Ning was right!
They were now standing on some kind of building, and it even looked like they were standing on a large glass door.
Liang Anlin was overjoyed and couldn't help but pat Song Ning's shoulder hard twice.
"Boss Song is indeed bold and meticulous. It's amazing that none of us noticed this. It's all thanks to you."
Song Ning also felt puzzled, "I didn't expect it either, it was just a fluke."
He originally just wanted to check out the ceiling, but who would have thought that his efforts would not yield results, while his unintentional actions would lead to unexpected success?
A large group of people immediately stopped and began to consider how to get down.
That's right, we go down.
The building's main entrance faces upwards, meaning that the part that should have been standing up is now deeper underground. Liang Anlin's men quickly found the locked door, and upon closer inspection, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, this group of people actually stood directly on these two large glass doors, relying on the lock to maintain the balance of the two doors.
Song Ning broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down on the open ground next to her, hugging the big cat to calm herself down.
"Luckily we found it early, in case..."
He silently buried his face in the side of the big cat's neck and took a deep breath.
As if to soothe his emotions, the black panther nuzzled against him, its tail gently wrapping around Song Ning's wrist and caressing him, which gradually calmed Song Ning down.
As Liang Anlin watched their interaction, a strange thought flashed through his mind.
The two, a human and a leopard, seem a little too intimate, don't they?
The lock on the gate was old and in disrepair. Liang Anlin's men took out a pair of wire cutters and cut the lock to open the gate.
"Can you see what's down there?"
Liang Anlin asked.
A young man stepped out of the group, took out a flashlight, turned it on, and shone it down.
The light was much brighter than Song Ning's flashlight, clearly something Liang Anlin and his group had prepared on purpose.
The young man squinted and looked for a while. "Brother Liang, it looks like there's a convenience store downstairs?"
As he spoke, his breathing suddenly became rapid. "It's definitely true, I saw the convenience store sign, it's a 24-hour convenience store!"
Not only him, but everyone else got excited too.
"real or fake?"
"A convenience store? Is it the kind I'm thinking of?"
"Is there a lot of stuff down there?"
"Let me see. Let me see."
Song Ning couldn't help but move a little closer. The big cat next to him saw him about to come closer and stretched out its head to bite his trouser leg.
"I know, I'll just take a look from a distance," Song Ning then realized that he was a little too close to the open door and might fall in. He stepped back a little and squinted as he looked inside, following the light.
The shelves below were overturned and lying haphazardly on the ground. They were not easy to see from this distance, but everyone was familiar with this type of shelf. It was indeed a 24-hour convenience store.
Having confirmed that the supplies below hadn't been searched, the biggest headache now is figuring out how to go down and loot them.
