Chapter 37: Tunnel of Terror 8

  Tunnel Vision 8

  "What's going on?" The huge command room was filled with busy crowds, and the bright daylight lamps illuminated every inch of space to an unprecedented brightness. Gong Meng stood alone in front of the conference table, pacing back and forth.

  Now, there are only two people who know that secret.

  There are at most three hours left before the tunnel collapses. Gong Meng did not let this news leak out. The surveyor has been taken care of by Gong Meng. However, no one knows does not mean it is not a fact.

  Gong Meng glanced at the huge photo hanging on the wall of the command room. It was a historical record from 20XX when the tunnel opened to traffic. At that time, it was the hero of all Hannan. But now, it had become a black giant coffin.

  And what's more, his own good brother is now inside this coffin.

  Just had a conversation with Chen Yun, and didn't hear any news about Lin Yu from her. Brother, what's going on with you? Since entering the Wind Well, Lin Yu has completely lost contact with headquarters.

  Brother, didn't the endless yellow sand of the Gobi Desert manage to keep you behind, yet you handed over your own life in that dark wind well? Gong Meng shook his head helplessly and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.

  "Director, this is your 7th cigarette. Stop for a bit. Can't smoke like that..."

  Xiao Liu followed behind Gong Meng and advised him. He also knew that Director must have something on his mind, otherwise, with his tenacious personality, why would he be so anxious?

  "Nothing's wrong, is there any news?"

  "No, but I heard that the provincial government has already taken emergency measures."

  "Alright...". Wang Meng took a deep drag on his cigarette, choking himself into a long cough. "Go, contact Chen Yun again and find out Lin Yu's whereabouts!! Also, don't reveal any uneasy emotions, can't tell her that Lin Yu might be in trouble. Be cautious, got it?"

  "I understand."

  "Alright, go quickly!!"

  Gong Meng watched as Xiao Liu's figure disappeared into the distance, his heart slightly stirred. He turned around, only to see three strangers standing in front of him.

  "Director Gong? Hello, I think we should have a good talk."

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  "Bang!!!"

  A loud crash, the huge well cover flew up, spinning several times in mid-air before crashing to the ground with a clang.

  Everyone stopped in their tracks, turned around and stared at the well which looked like a monster's mouth.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  A strange howl, a tall and majestic figure slowly appeared at the wellhead. His eyes flashed with a faint blue light, which was particularly dazzling in the black tunnel. Almost subconsciously, everyone took a step back.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  "Ah...!" After who knows how long, Lin Yu finally woke up from his coma.

  He seemed to have lost all sense of consciousness, leaving only pain. Severe pain, every part of his body was in agony. He wanted to open his eyelids, but found that his eyes were as if they didn't exist. There was nothing left in his consciousness except for the pain driving his nerves.

  "Ow!!!!!!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth and finally managed to pry open a small slit in his eyes.

  He tried to look around, making sure he was still in the air vent. The wind was blowing straight at him, his back pressed firmly against a huge metal plate. Lin Yu knew that was the filter screen. He had been blown out of the air outlet and directly into the lower part of the tunnel. He struggled to move, but found that his body no longer listened to him.

  The intense pain completely paralyzed his nerves!!

  "Ah!!!!!!" Lin Yu tried to circulate the true energy within his body, but his meridians responded with intense stabbing pain. If Lin Yu wasn't mistaken, this symptom was definitely a classic case of "fire entering the devil". The true energy in his body was completely disordered, let alone using it to heal wounds or do anything else - if this energy didn't cripple Lin Yu himself, he would be grateful.

  The current situation is exactly the same as when Teacher Ding taught me.

  However, the teacher didn't say how to solve this situation. The teacher just warned Lin Yu to absolutely avoid this kind of situation.

  It's all over... The fierce wind howled incessantly in Lin Yu's ears. It was no use anymore. Lin Yu said to himself like this. Now that he had gone mad, there was no longer any room for him to make a comeback.

  Alas, sorry, Chen Yun, I can't come down to accompany you.

  Lin smiled self-deprecatingly and for some reason, in that instant, his muscles seemed to soften a bit.

  Even if you have children with someone else, I still think of you like this, don't I? Hope you can escape, don't end up like me, losing your life in this dark coffin.

  Gradually, Lin Yu's consciousness began to blur. The scenes he had experienced from childhood to adulthood kept replaying in front of him. Most of them were the fragments with Chen Yun. The happy times when they skipped class together to play at Donghu Lake, the different emotions when they occasionally quarreled, and also, the tension and excitement of touching a woman's body for the first time. Bit by bit, bit by bit.

  Actually, I haven't forgotten at all.

  Tears filled Lin Yu's eyes. It wasn't until now that he realized how important the woman named Chen Yun was to him... Chen Yun, Chen Yun... And then there was Yao Jing, Yao Jing... Yao Jing... I'm sorry, I...

  Lin Yu's face seemed to have really appeared in front of him like Yao Jing's. That lovely and mischievous face was so fragile at this moment.

  "Lin Yu, you bastard, you promised me! You promised me!!!!!!"

  "I'm sorry, I have no choice..."

  "No, you have. You have!!!" Yao Jing shouted loudly, staring at Lin Yu with a fierce gaze. "You must not want me anymore, right? So you're trying to use death to escape, right?"

  "No, no, not at all... Yao Jing, Yao Jing..."

  "Lin Yu, I hate you to death, I hate you to death!!!" Yao Jing's figure gradually faded away. Lin Yu seemed to have something hollowed out of his heart, empty and desolate.

  "Yao Jing!! Yao Jing!! Come back! No... it's not like that!!!"

  "Do you miss them? The kids? You must have something on your mind."

  "This voice is the teacher!!!! The teacher!!!! Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, as if his body was filled with strength."

  "Teacher!! Teacher!! Where are you?? Where are you??"

  Lin and Nu stared straight ahead with their eyes wide open, as if their greatest enemy was standing there.

  "Teacher, please come out, teacher, I won't let you leave me!! I won't let them, I'll kill them!!! Teacher, please don't leave with Er... Er doesn't want to leave you, teacher..."

  The days and nights spent with the teacher are still vivid in memory. But everything has become a fleeting illusion, the teacher has long since left him, and will never return again.

  "Teacher... teacher..." Lin Yu's voice changed from anger to a mournful cry, what could be more important to him than his teacher? Ten years of nurturing, ten years of teaching, Lin Yu had long regarded his teacher as the only family he had in this world.

  "Heavens, why are you treating me like this? I have nothing but my teacher, why... why..."

  "No, child..." The teacher's face seemed to clear up again in front of Lin. The teacher was still the same as before, with long white hair and a moon-colored long robe, elegant and refined, with a radiant aura.

  "Child, there are still many people who need your protection, for the sake of the teachers and them, you cannot give up..."

  "Teacher...... teacher......"

  "Alright, child, eaglets will eventually soar high on their own. The world is yours now. Take action with your own hands. I want to see you happy. This is the teacher's final wish. Child, go for it, go for it..."

  "Bang..." The image of the teacher gradually dispersed before Lin Yu's eyes. But in Lin Yu's heart, something was suddenly triggered. Yes, that's right, it was the Taiji Heart Method left behind by the teacher. A series of mnemonic verses suddenly surged out from the depths of Lin Yu's mind, crazily rushing into his Dantian.

  It was almost instinctive, Lin Yu's internal Qi began to frantically circulate within his body according to the incantation's instructions. Gradually, Lin Yu felt that the pain inside his body slowly subsided, and the wind around him also became weaker and weaker.

  He opened his eyes, but saw that the wild winds around him had completely surrounded his body. He felt the fierce power of these winds. The huge gusts of wind constantly poured into Lin Yu's acupoints. As if to help Lin Yu open up his meridians.

  Soon, he clearly felt this explosive power. And what surprised Lin even more was that he had been absorbing the wind force all along, but never felt full. As if his body had become a huge black hole, endlessly absorbing external energy.

  Lin couldn't help but let out a faint smile in his heart. He understood that at the moment of life and death, he had finally achieved a breakthrough, and his Taiji Divine Technique had taken a step from the Borrowing Strength Realm into the Transformative Power Realm.

  Having reached this realm, the power of all things could be used by him. The true essence of Taiji was a martial art that harmonized with the Heavenly Way, and to cultivate it to the transformative stage was to attain enlightenment and ascend to a higher plane, which was not surprising at all.

  This was Lin Yu who had reached this realm at the age of 24, a rare encounter that even his master Ding Feng did not dare to imagine.

  Finally felt that the wind power is no longer strong and there is no sign of absorption. Lin Yu just floated quietly in the airway.

  Teacher, you saved me again. Lin Yu thought in his heart, wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye.

  He raised his head and found himself directly under a huge manhole cover. Without thinking, he punched the iron lid with all his might.

  Bang...
