Chapter 287
As an old police officer, he certainly didn't believe that the ancestors were manifesting.
But I have to say that this weird scene, even he felt a bit cold on his back.
Fang Yang pondered for a while: "Let's call the fire brigade first!"
"Okay!"
Looking at the sinkhole in front of him, recalling what the village chief said when he first saw him.
Fang Yang hurriedly asked: "Village Chief, I heard you say before that your village had a uranium mine, can you tell me the specific reason why it was sealed?"
The village chief waved his hand: "Forget it, you can't help with this, thank you for your kindness!"
"Village Chief, you know your village has lost several living people! Are you really not going to save them?"
Facing Fang Yang's questioning, the village chief's heart tightened, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.
After hesitating for a while, he said slowly: "Back then, it was dug too deep, breaking the groundwater layer, which made it impossible to dig further below, so the mine was sealed."
After hearing the village chief's explanation, Fang Yang suddenly realized.
As an astronomy and geography enthusiast, this phenomenon is very similar to the videos he had seen before.
He looked at Captain Wang seriously: "Brother Wang, I roughly know the reason!"
"What reason?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this village should be a karst landform!"
Captain Wang was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
"Karst landform means that the underground of this village is not soil, but karst! Karst rocks are mainly carbonate rocks, gypsum, rock salt, etc. After years of groundwater infiltration, the bottom is hollowed out little by little. In other words, there should be a very large underground karst cave below!"
Everyone was confused when they heard Fang Yang's analysis, especially the villagers who couldn't understand it at all.
Fang Yang could only continue to explain: "If I'm not mistaken, there must be an underground dark river below. I wasn't sure before, but it just so happened that three such sinkholes appeared one after another, so it must not be a coincidence!"
"Just now the village chief said that mining broke the groundwater layer, which made me more certain of my guess, because they broke the groundwater layer, leading to water seepage in the mine."
"All the groundwater flowed into the mine, which led to the village below being in a suspended state, without solid filling, the whole land became a thin layer. Coupled with the heavy rain last night, the soil became softer, which led to the collapse today!"
After listening to Fang Yang's analysis, many villagers suddenly realized, of course, some still knelt there with their eyes closed, hands clasped together, muttering.
The village chief's eyes were shining at this time: "According to you, it's not the ancestors manifesting?"
Fang Yang nodded: "Of course not, and I suggest you hurry up and gather the villagers, don't stay in the house, I guess there will be more collapses, if you are in the house, you can't run away!"
"Okay, okay, okay!! I know!"
Then the village chief turned his head: "You all heard it, I believe him, hurry up and call everyone in the village, don't stay at home!"
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Captain Wang looked at the villagers who were enlightened and admired Fang Yang from the bottom of his heart. He could make them believe that it was not the ancestors manifesting in a few words. It would be impossible for an ordinary person.
But the most important problem now is how to rescue those few people.
"Fang Yang, you say, how much chance of survival do those people who fell down have?"
Fang Yang thought for a while and made an eight gesture with his hand.
"Eighty percent?"
"Pretty much, first of all, I said just now that there is an underground dark river below, even if the water flow is pumped away a lot, don't forget, it rained heavily all night last night, there must be water below, and it won't be very deep, so there is a high probability that they are still alive, unless they are hit by a coffin!"
Captain Wang took a deep breath: "Then how to save them now?"
This question really stumped Fang Yang.
Even if he analyzed that the probability of survival is high, it is impossible to let the fire brigade go down from the sinkhole in the graveyard.
If the land collapses again during the process of going down, don't let the fire brigade people be involved when they haven't saved anyone.
Looking at the pondering Fang Yang, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.
However, just at this moment, a villager suddenly said: "Village Chief, there seems to be a sinkhole in the big mountain next to the village, I don't know if it is connected to this below?"
The village chief nodded: "Should be!"
Fang Yang, who heard this, seemed to see hope and hurriedly asked: "There is a sinkhole in the mountain? Are you sure?"
"Sure, it's been many years, but it's bottomless inside. In the early years, someone in the village accidentally dropped a cow into it while grazing, and couldn't even hear a sound. Since then, no one has dared to approach it!"
"Where is it? Take me to see it! By the way, Captain Wang, you leave two people here to meet the fire brigade, and the village chief also leaves one person who knows the way to facilitate us to find us on the mountain later."
"Okay!"
The two answered in unison.
Then they took Fang Yang to the foot of the mountain not far away.
A group of people shuttled on the main road of the village, occasionally seeing villagers running out of their homes.
Curiosity is everyone's nature, and the large group of people going up the mountain is also increasing.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Fang Yang looked up at the mountain hundreds of meters high in front of him.
Because of the heavy rain last night, the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland, coupled with this height, it made people feel that there were immortals practicing here.
The villagers with good footwork walked at the forefront, taking Fang Yang to shuttle at the foot of the mountain and climb up.
A very narrow path wound upwards, and water kept flowing down after the rain.
There were bamboo leaves everywhere in the mountain forest, and one could hear the rustling of leaves when walking on the ground.
I don't know how long they walked, the siren of the fire engine sounded in their ears.
The crowd didn't stop and continued to climb up, climbing to the vicinity of the mountainside, arriving at a place where trees were lush.
The villagers held sickles and walked in front, opening the way while walking.
It is obvious that no one has been here for many years.
After a while, the villagers stopped and pointed to a very lush forest in front: "Look.. the sinkhole is here."
The curious police officer wanted to lean over to take a look: "Where? I don't see it, only trees."
However, in the next second, the villagers exclaimed: "Be careful!"
The confused police officer thought he was walking in the jungle, who would have thought that with one step, the leaves and grass he thought were there were actually empty below, and the whole person lost his balance, looking like he was about to fall.
Fang Yang was quick-eyed and pulled him back with one hand.
The police officer stumbled and fell to the ground.
Looking at the place he stepped on just now, there was no road at all.
Through the leaves and grass, he vaguely saw a bottomless sinkhole below.
He suddenly felt his hair numb and cold sweat broke out all over his body. If Fang Yang hadn't pulled him just now, he would have died without a doubt today.
After coming to his senses, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Fang Yang.
Fang Yang just waved his hand and responded politely.
In order to let Fang Yang see the sinkhole better, the villagers took the risk to walk to the front and used a sickle to cut all the weeds and branches around.
One minute later, what appeared in front of everyone was a sinkhole with a diameter of more than 20 meters.
The sinkhole was surrounded by stones, covered with moss.
Except for the stones on the hole above that could be seen clearly, it was pitch black below, but strange calls could be vaguely heard.
The sound was not loud, but because of the echo inside, it kept echoing.
Facing such a scene, the villagers were scared, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, for fear that a monster would come out and eat them all.
【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....
——【Damn, this is the gate of hell, the previous sinkholes are pediatric compared to this one. I suddenly feel that those few people are unlikely to have a chance to survive. If I were asked to go down to save people, I wouldn't go down even if I were beaten to death! God knows what's below.】
——【The person above, you don't dare to go down, but someone has to go down. This is the greatness of firefighters. You might not see it on weekdays. But when the moment of life and death really comes, the only people who can really stand up to save you are these people.】
——【The rescue difficulty is very high, I feel. It's too dangerous to go down from the graveyard, but there are too many unknowns to go down from here, and the distance is a bit far. What if the road is blocked? Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?】
——【No, karst topography is a karst cave formed by the erosion of underground dark rivers below for years. Since that place collapsed, there must be an underground dark river, so if there is also an underground dark river below, it is 100% connected. It's just that it's not certain whether there is an underground river below, but I personally think there is a high probability. In my impression, there is an underground river under every sinkhole.】
Fang Yang looked at the sinkhole and took a deep breath. Now all he can do is wait.
The cameraman asked uncertainly: "Brother, you won't go down later, will you?"
"Ah? What's wrong, go down!"
"No brother, can we not go down, I'm afraid of heights!"
Fang Yang was stunned when he heard this, almost forgetting this, if he goes down, the cameraman has to follow.
"How about this, give the camera to the firefighters later, let them help carry it, you don't have to go down!"
"This..." The cameraman's face had become a bitter melon. Although he agreed with this plan in his heart, he gritted his teeth in the end: "No, only I can film your video well, I don't trust others!"
Fang Yang laughed dumbly, not expecting the cameraman to be so dedicated.
