Trying To Make a Living

She felt that with Wei Ting’s status, how could he possibly go with them to drill a hole and even go to such a gloomy underground place?

It was good that Wei Ting stayed up there to keep a lookout for them. If someone came over or they encountered something down there, Wei Ting could help. However, she didn’t expect Wei Ting to reject her request.

“I’ll go down with you. You’ll be in the middle, and I’ll be the last.” Wei Ting took out something that looked like a Bluetooth headset and put it on Su Meng’s ear.

“This is a communication device. Within two hundred meters, even if there is no signal, it can still locate a call,” Wei Ting explained.

He didn’t even need to think to know that there wouldn’t be any signal down there. It would be pitch black.

In the absolute darkness, the light from the flashlight was of little use, because it could only illuminate the area with the light. If something happened down there and they got separated, they could still find him through the communicator.

However, it was a pity that there were only two of them. This was because this was specially prepared for his patrolling teammates. The patrolling team was usually in groups of two, so he could only let Wen Le suffer.

“Alright,” she said. Su Meng accepted it without any hesitation.

She put one on and Wei Ting put another on himself. After Wei Ting put it on, she heard a ‘ding’ sound from the communicator as if it was turned on.

“As long as you don’t turn this off, it won’t break no matter if it’s in water or hit by a rock. It also has a GPS function, so as long as you wear it, you don’t have to worry about getting lost. I can find you no matter where you go.” Wei Ting’s expression was solemn at the moment, as if he was worried.

Su Meng didn’t expect Wei Ting, who was usually so calm, to become so serious at the next cemetery. She nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.”

“Master, have you come down?” Wen Le, who was in the lead, saw that Su Meng didn’t follow and called out carefully.

“I’m here,” Su Meng replied and tidied her clothes and backpack. She sat down by the hole and slid down slowly.

Seeing Su Meng go in, Wei Ting looked around and left something at the entrance of the cave before following her.

The tomb was very deep, and the three of them slid down for a long time before reaching the bottom.

Due to the lack of sunlight all year round, Su Meng could feel the gloomy and damp air the moment she went down.

She carefully shone the flashlight on the path, but it was too dark in the cave. She could only see where the flashlight shone. Outside the light, she could see a faint green light, but she couldn’t see what it was.

“Master, please pay attention to your steps. We’re just outside, and it’s not easy to walk. We’ll have to walk on a stone path next, which will be very uncomfortable. The tomb is at the bottom, so we’ll have to walk for a while.”

At Wen Le’s reminder, Su Meng shone the flashlight in front of her and saw the small stones that were standing upside down on the ground. The exposed part of the small stone was sharp. If one walked barefooted, their feet would definitely be pricked.

Su Meng walked forward carefully. Even though she was wearing a pair of hiking shoes with thick soles, she could still feel the rocks under her feet.

As she walked, she shone her flashlight around. What made her feel strange was that there was no water source nearby, and they had not yet reached the deepest part, but the wall was suffused with thick water vapor, as if they were under a river.

The most important thing was that she heard the sound of running water coming from deep inside.

Could there be an underground river down there? If there really was an underground river, they had to be careful.

“You guys are quite bold. You only have two people and you still dare to come into this place.” Although the path was difficult to walk on, Su Meng did not use her hands to hold onto the wall. Instead, she tried her best to stabilize herself.

Who knew if she would suddenly touch something? After all, some insects loved this kind of gloomy and humid environment.

Wen Le sighed and replied, “Sigh, it’s all for the sake of making a living. Besides, nothing has ever happened before so I thought that these were all fake and didn’t pay much attention to it.” Who knew that this time, it would be so evil that he would end up like this and never want to do this again?

Su Meng rolled her eyes. “If you want to make a living, there are many other paths to take. Is grave robbing the only one you can take? Even if nothing happened to you this time, there’s no guarantee that something bad won’t happen in the future. It might even take revenge on your descendants. Of course, I’m not cursing you when I say this. It’s the truth.”
