People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

We can get there before dark.

The group quickened their pace. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 383 Strange Sounds in the Dead of Night

Night falls.

The group successfully reached the first suspected collapse site.

The terrain here is much lower than the surrounding area, and there are some trees standing, but not many in number, and their height is clearly limited...

Several experts specializing in geography quickly observed the site carefully, discussed it for a while, and reached a consensus: they were 90% confident that the area had collapsed several hundred years ago and that the underground was hollow.

this is a good news.

However, it's getting late, and we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to formally explore what's going on underground in this area.

Ding Ze didn't sit idle. He quickly called over several team leaders and made arrangements to make some torches, assign people to keep watch at night, set up a defensive perimeter, and so on.

The hundred or so employees quickly got to work, each doing their assigned tasks.

Ding Ze then found a spot himself and prepared to pitch the tent. "Janet, come and help."

Janet was a little embarrassed because she simply couldn't. "I don't know how," she said.

"How come you can't do anything?" Ding Ze joked with a smile.

Janet: "...You bastard, can't you speak properly?"

"Haha, alright, I'll teach you," Ding Ze replied with a laugh.

Before long, the two got to work and, after a while, finally set up the tent.

By this time, the employees had collected a lot of dry branches and lit several bonfires.

Another ten minutes passed.

As bonfires were lit one after another, a circular defensive perimeter of about four or five hundred square meters was formed.

After a while, everyone started a fire to cook dinner.

After dinner, having walked all day and exhausted themselves, Ding Ze and Janet quickly crawled into their tent, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

There was no way around it; I was just too tired to do anything recreational.

The others were about the same.

In less than half an hour, most people had fallen asleep, leaving only about twenty employees, armed and sitting around the campfire, on night watch.

In this primeval jungle, keeping watch at night is a very grueling task. There are no interesting entertainment activities to pass the time, so you can only chat.

Before I knew it, the night was getting darker.

Suddenly, a woman's voice seemed to faintly reach the ears of one of the employees.

The employee, who was already drowsy and about to fall asleep, was jolted awake by the sudden sound, his sleepiness vanishing instantly.

"What's wrong?" his companion asked, puzzled.

"Did you hear a woman talking?"

"What woman?"

Shh, everyone be quiet!

We're all veterans, so we're not entirely without a sense of vigilance.

Immediately, all the night watchmen shut their mouths and pricked up their ears.

One second, two seconds, three seconds!

The woman's voice rang out again...

This time, everyone on watch heard it.

Instantly, no one dared to utter a sound. They all raised their guns, but no one moved rashly or made a sound. They just listened intently.

A few seconds later, the woman's voice rang out again.

This time, everyone heard it much more clearly... It was indeed a woman's voice, speaking what sounded like a language of a primitive tribe.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the sound seems to be coming from underground!

This is really weird.

How could a woman possibly be speaking underground?

The group looked at each other, a little panicked... Even if they encountered a giant spider or a giant python, they wouldn't be too afraid. After all, they had guns and bombs, so what was there to be afraid of!

But now, in this bizarre situation...

"What should we do?" someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

'Or should we wake the boss? He understands the language of a primitive tribe.'

"This isn't appropriate..."

"What's wrong with it? This is fucking weird."

"Then you go and call them?"

"Uh, let's play rock-paper-scissors, whoever loses goes."

"You bunch of cowards," one of the bolder employees cursed irritably, then stood up and said, "I'll go."

"farewell."

Soon.

When the daring comrade arrived at the tent where Ding Ze and Janet were, he first took a deep breath silently to bolster his courage, and then said, "Boss, wake up, something's happened."

He called out several times but received no response. The foolish man gritted his teeth, reached out and, based on the figure, nudged Ding Ze through the tent.

Ding Ze then opened his eyes, feeling very sleepy, and stirred slightly.

"Boss, are you awake? Something's wrong," the daring man said again when he saw Ding Ze move.

Ding Ze heard this and felt helpless. He raised his hand to rub his eyes, then sat up with a yawn.

As soon as Ding Ze moved, Janet woke up as well.

About two minutes later, the two of them emerged from the tent one after the other.

Ding Ze took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two deep drags to dispel some of his drowsiness. At the same time, he looked around the camp.

Nothing has changed, which means the situation is not particularly urgent.

"What's going on?" Ding Ze asked the daring fool.

"There's a woman talking underground..." The simple-minded and bold man explained the situation concisely and clearly.

Ding Ze was genuinely startled, then chuckled, "Is there a ghost here?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The woman's voice rang out again.

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze immediately became serious and listened attentively.

Experiencing something like this in the middle of the night was really too much for Janet to handle. She was a little frightened and subconsciously moved closer to Ding Ze.

After a while.

The woman's voice disappeared.

The foolish and bold man was very anxious and asked Ding Ze, "Boss, what is that woman saying?"

Ding Ze grinned, "Her voice is quite nice."

Foolish Daredevil: "??????"

The boss really is a madman.

Janet was speechless. "Stop messing around, can't you understand me?"

“Haha,” Ding Ze chuckled, “I can roughly understand that she’s calling for help. But obviously, it’s impossible for a living person to call for help like that underground, so I think we’ve encountered a ghost.”

Foolish Daredevil: "???"

Janet: "...Seriously, how can there be ghosts in this world?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze's expression changed instantly. He turned sharply to Janet, his face serious, and then sneered, "Heh, no ghost? Janet Austin, look at the tent, Ding Ze is still sleeping!"

The voice reached my ears.

Geek!

Janet was genuinely startled and instinctively turned her head to look at the tent.

See this.

"Hahaha, you idiot," Ding Ze laughed heartily.

"!!!!!" Janet realized she'd been tricked and was furious. She raised her hand and slapped Ding Ze hard across the back. "That's outrageous! In the middle of the night, are you trying to scare me to death?!"

"Hehe, alright, alright, a little scare is good for the heart, it's a very effective exercise," Ding Ze laughed and made up a story. Then, he turned to the daring guy next to him and said, "Don't be nervous, don't worry about what that sound is, just wait for her to come up."
