Chapter 30: Tunnel of Terror 1

  "Are you out of your mind?" Palace Meng bellowed, he was so angry that he almost smashed the design drawings in his hand on Lin Yu's head.

  "You're the only one who has carried out such a rescue mission. Are you going to take charge now? You go in, who's going to be in command here?"

  "You're in charge." Lin Yu calmly looked at Gong Meng, continuing to tidy up the tools on his body. Four small durable flashlights, a ten-inch shovel, rope, pulley... He stood up and carefully checked all of these. These would soon become his life-saving tools.

  "Gong Meng, listen, I understand all the reasons you've given, but unfortunately, I still have to go."

  "Lin Yu, have you gone mad? When did you become like this!!!"

  Jing Meng lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

  "Do you know or not, the tunnel has already become a desperate situation. You can't go in, you'll be blown to pulp by the fans!! Even if you went in, what's the point? This isn't a movie shoot, you're not Superman!! You can't change anything!!"

  "No, I'm going in not to change anything." Lin tightened the equipment on his body, "I just want to go in, I just want to understand, okay? Chen Yun, you know. It's that photo that's always been in my helmet. She's inside. I couldn't find a reason to convince myself."

  "How dare you... How can you be so arrogant?" Gong Meng fiercely grabbed Lin Yu's collar, struggling to restrain himself from punching Lin Yu in the face.

  "What can you change by going in now? What can you change? You can't change anything!!! This operation still needs your experience, we need you to command. At this time, you should stay here and it's more likely to rescue Chen Yun!!!! Instead of crawling into that damn ventilation shaft!!!!!"

  "It doesn't matter now, even if I'm here, it won't make a difference. You've seen the situation too, just digging and directing. So, I must go in."

  Lin gently pried open Gong Meng's hands with both of her own and said calmly.

  "I went in, and it wasn't entirely useless. I can make Chen Yun's panic a little less. Didn't you hear? When she first answered the phone, her voice was so panicked, and her calmness was for my benefit. I'll make her feel at ease, apart from that, there's nothing else I can do."

  "Is it worth it? Just for a moment of peace of mind, you're willing to risk certain death?"

  "It's worth it." Lin replied casually and turned around to walk out of the office.

  "Lin Yu!!!!!!"

  "What?"

  "Come back alive!!"

  "Look, this is the fan."

  A gigantic fan over 4 meters tall stood in front of Lin Yu. Each blade was more than 2 meters long, and the distance between them was 70 centimeters. These fans were responsible for supplying oxygen to the tunnel, and if they stopped rotating, everyone in the tunnel would suffocate to death.

  Lin saw countless reporters and interview vehicles outside the door when he arrived. His eyelids didn't even blink once. He knew that these people were all here to make fun of him.

  What he couldn't understand was that Americans wanted to see Chinese people's jokes, which he could understand. So why were those Chinese reporters also gathering there to gloat?

  Looking at those smiling faces one by one, Lin Yu suddenly thought of Mr. Lu Xun's classic scene. The predecessors were right, they stretched their necks one by one, just like ducks.

  Chinese people.

  Lin Yu didn't say much, and followed Jiao Zhe directly to the ventilation outlet of the underground room. The huge suction made Lin Yu's standing somewhat unstable. The enormous power brought by the 6 fans was not something that humans could contend with.

  But Lin Yu's expression was very relaxed.

  "You look like you don't know what fear is at all." Jiao Zhe furrowed his brow, he couldn't understand the young man beside him at all. Sometimes he was so calm, and sometimes he was so paranoid that it drove people crazy.

  "Why should I be afraid?" Lin Yu retorted, re-checking his equipment once again as Jiao Zhe briefed him on the things he needed to pay attention to.

  "Alright, I have to admit, you're a very brave person." Jiao Zhe shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the fan, saying to Lin Yu.

  "The ventilation duct is an inverted L-shaped structure, you'll go in from the station down there and then down, a total of six sets of fans. We'll help you stop the fans for one minute, which is already the limit. Because of safety measures, after 1 minute, the fans will automatically start to maintain sufficient oxygen inside the tunnel. One fan starts every 10 seconds, do you understand what I mean?"

  "I understand, you mean I have to pass through a fan every 10 seconds or else I'll be beaten into pulp by these damn fan blades." Lin said with a curl of his lip and didn't say anything more. He felt that no matter what he said now would be superfluous.

  His black suit had long been taken off, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up high. The muscles on his arms bulged out. Although those muscles didn't have any particularly striking features, they were exceptionally solid, giving people a kind of inexplicable fear.

  He tightened the safety rope on his body and stood in front of the fan.

  "Lin, take this." Jiao Zhe took out a black device and stuck it to Lin Wei's back. "Do you see this thing? This is a directional signal transmitter. After you go in, you can use this thing to contact us. Of course, now you can also use this to contact people inside the tunnel, as long as they have a mobile phone. Just enter the machine code and confirm a frequency."

  "Thank you." Lin thought for a moment and asked the staff to connect Chen Yun's cell phone again.

  "Hey, Chen Yun? I'm Lin Yu, how's the situation in the tunnel?"

  "People in the tunnel gathered together, about a dozen or so, and there was also a mountaineer named Liu Jun. It seemed like they were going to find a way out."

  "Where is he going to find his way?"

  "The exit in the direction of Hanchang, there seems to be an unfilled gap there, he wanted to try to find a way out from there."

  "Oh no, no, Chen Yun, listen, you must go and stop him right now, can't let him get through."

  Lin nodded and waved his hand, indicating that they could stop the fan. Jiao Zhe immediately retreated to one side and began to perform pre-operative procedures.

  "The connection iron beam between He and Han Chang has broken, there is a danger of collapse at any time, he will be buried alive if he goes in rashly!! Let everyone leave the exit in the direction of Han Chang immediately!! Right away."

  "Alright, I'll go right away." Chen Yun didn't say much more and immediately prepared to head out.

  "Chen Yun!! Wait a minute, tell me your phone's IMEI and phone number, quickly!!!"

  Lin tried out the directional transmitter and soon got through to Chen Yun's conversation.

  "Hello Chen Yun, I'm contacting you through this now, see you in 10 minutes when I arrive."

  "Alright, Lin Yu, we're waiting for you."

  Chen Yun gently said goodbye to Lin Yu before hanging up the phone.

  "Alright, Lin Yu, the fan will stop in 2 minutes and you only have 1 minute to pass through. Also, remember that the ventilation duct leads to the road surface below the tunnel. Alright, get ready!!"

  Lin took a deep breath and stared quietly at the huge fan in front of him!!

  Suddenly, his pupils shrank violently.

  He clearly saw that the fan had slowed down slowly.

  I'm rushing for a ranking, can you all give me some face, give me some flowers? Collect it for me, okay? I'm begging you guys.
