Many sundries were scattered near the entrance of the cave, along with tools and the like. Not far away were some large items covered with rainproof cloth.

Zhao Xingguo walked over and uncovered one, revealing a flatbed cart with metal wheels underneath, designed to run on rails.

It was covered in rust, and it was unknown how long it had been abandoned there.

But clearly, everyone didn't trust such a thing, thinking it was more reliable to walk in.

Everyone unloaded their backpacks and began to put on various equipment, adjusting flashlights, as well as the lights on their helmets. Fatty was quite satisfied with the helmet on his head.

He was the type with a particularly large head, and it was difficult to buy a suitable helmet when riding an electric scooter.

But unexpectedly, Luo He and the others had prepared an extra-large helmet for him. He put it on, fastened the buckle underneath, and it fit perfectly.

"Everyone," Zhao Xingguo said, fully equipped. His expression was very serious, reminding Huai Yi of going to the ancestral grave back home. "I, Zhao Xingguo, am putting the ugly words first. No matter what grudges or grievances you have outside, once we go in, we're all in the same boat."

"If anyone tries to trip up or scheme against their teammates, I, Zhao Xingguo, will be the first to kill him!"

"Are you done?" Fu Fu curled her lip, indifferent. "If you're done, hurry up, it'll be dark soon."

"Everyone, brace yourselves, let's go!"

As soon as they entered the tunnel, a feeling of oppression immediately weighed down on them. Perhaps it had just rained, but the tunnel was very humid, and water was constantly dripping down the rock walls.

Fatty, walking in the middle, slipped and fell, but fortunately, Chen Qiang was quick-witted and pulled him up.

The tunnel went deeper and deeper, until the entrance behind them became a small dot of light, and finally, the dot of light disappeared.

Besides the sound of dripping water, only the sound of their footsteps remained in the tunnel. Strangely, the sound of their footsteps echoed in the mine, becoming chaotic and disturbing.

It felt as if many people had appeared out of nowhere, people they couldn't see, following behind them, walking silently in the mine.

The eerie atmosphere made it hard for everyone to breathe.

The tunnel went deeper and deeper, as if there was no end.

But no one spoke, as if afraid that whoever spoke first would disturb something here, and then be targeted first.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, and Fatty's legs were already numb. Luo He, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

"Don't walk anymore," he said, but what surprised everyone was the next sentence, "We're already inside."

"What do you mean?" Linghu Yong shone his flashlight around, but on both sides were still stone walls, and in front and behind were endless darkness.

The flashlight couldn't reach the end at all.

According to the clues they had, they should first find the strangely appearing station, and then a train would come.

"We've been walking for almost four hours since we came in, and I've checked the data on this tunnel, it's not that long at all," Luo He said calmly.

Hearing this, Pan Du swallowed. "You mean we've already entered the range of a supernatural event."

Although they were mentally prepared, and they had come to solve the supernatural event in the tunnel, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when they suddenly heard this news.

"But since we're in, why haven't we seen the platform, or the train?" Linghu Yong asked cautiously. "Could it be that the information was wrong?"

Jiang Cheng shone his flashlight around, seemingly discovering something. Then everyone watched as he bent down, picked up a stone, and placed it on the rail.

"Keep walking," he said as he stood up.

They walked for less than half an hour, and a shocking scene occurred.

Under the flashlight of Zhao Xingguo, who was walking in the front, a stone stood alone on the rail about 20 meters away.

"How could this be?" Fatty's face changed. "Did we go in a circle and come back?"

"Or did we enter a fork in the road, and this tunnel is just a closed circle?"

The supernatural event... finally happened.

Or maybe it had already happened, but everyone just didn't know it.

This kind of silently descending fear is the most terrifying, because it can come quietly, and it can also take a person's life silently.

"What to do?"

It was definitely impossible to continue walking now, they had fallen into an infinite loop. The only way now was to try to walk back.

"That's right," someone suddenly said, "Do you remember that the rescued miner encountered a supernatural event on the way back?"

"The station, and that train."

"Also, the second group of miners who went in to rescue people also encountered the surviving miner on the way back."

Although they all disappeared in the end, they all triggered supernatural events or encountered survivors of supernatural events on the way back.

Could this indicate that only walking out of the tunnel is the way to trigger supernatural events, while heading in only leads to being exhausted to death?

Anyway, there was no other way, and without much discussion, everyone began to walk back.

But they hadn't walked far when they saw that stone again!

The stone lay quietly on the rail, like a tombstone in the gloomy environment.

"What's going on?" Someone began to panic.

Encountering supernatural events, or even ghosts, was within expectations, but being exhausted to death by a tunnel was still too terrifying.

"What's the panic!" Fu Fu rebuked. "It's not like we're going to die right away."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng put forward two suggestions. "First," he said, "We continue to walk back, and then observe if we've missed anything."

"Second," Jiang Cheng paused before continuing, "Since this is a closed circle, then we'll split into two teams, one team going forward, and the other team going backward, to see what happens."

"Split up?" Linghu Yong's face instantly turned ugly. "This is indeed a way, but what if the two teams never meet, or get separated?"

"Also, even if we meet another team, how can we be sure they're real, and not ghosts disguised?" Linghu Yong asked two questions in a row.

Jiang Cheng looked at him. "I'm offering suggestions, not a final solution. I don't need you to reject me. If you have a better suggestion, say it now."

Linghu Yong thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.

He didn't have a better suggestion. As far as the current situation was concerned, Jiang Cheng's two methods were almost the only solutions.

Otherwise, they could only stay where they were and wait to die.

"Let's do the first one first, splitting up is too risky," Lin Wan'er said. Her voice had a strange sense of harmony with the surrounding darkness. Her gaze swept over everyone, and she slowly said, "As we've been walking, we've been too focused on the road ahead and behind, and have ignored the changes around us."

"This time, we'll pay attention to our surroundings, and maybe we'll find something."
