Chapter 128 Natural and man-made disasters!
Due to heavy rain, the construction of Yanqin Tunnel was suspended.
Now that the project has been suspended, the workers who originally maintained the tunnel naturally stopped working and took a rest.
Logically speaking, there should be no more wandering workers in this tunnel until the rain subsides.
However, it happened to be at night...
A truck drove nearby and stopped at the entrance of the tunnel.
If you look closely, you can see that there is Zhengyang Group written on the truck.
They are almost the same as the vehicles used for daily construction.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people got off the truck.
They were all wearing raincoats, vaguely revealing what they were wearing underneath.
It seems that he is the construction worker of this project.
However, under the beating of the rain, layers of white mist splashed on the bodies of these three people.
It makes people unable to see their appearance clearly.
"Rumble..." Thunder roared in the sky.
Under the pouring rain, one of them was carrying something from the car.
Moreover, he was still urging his companions behind him:
"Hurry up and finish the work early to avoid trouble!"
As the worker urged, the two people behind him also increased their speed.
The three of them took some things from the car, holding several canned objects and drilling equipment.
Then he hurriedly entered the tunnel.
The moment he entered the tunnel, the noisy sound of the rain hitting his body finally stopped.
It was a bit quiet.
At this time, vehicles would pass by in the tunnel from time to time.
The three men then went to the construction section first and stood behind the green cloth surrounding the road.
Immediately, they put down what they had brought.
The leader also immediately went to get the drilling equipment and perform operations.
Seeing this scene, one of the workers said:
"Hey, you guys said... we won't be caught out for what we did, right?"
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other.
The leader did not stop and continued to operate:
"What are you afraid of? This tunnel is already under maintenance. If there is an accident, it can only be blamed on the person in charge. Who has the heart to find the cause immediately?"
"What's more...have you forgotten how many benefits the boss has given us?"
Once they heard the benefits, the other two no longer hesitated.
Immediately, following the actions of the leader, he started taking action.
I saw one person drilling a hole in the tunnel wall first.
About one meter apart.
Then, they stuffed the tubes carried from the car into the holes...
After the operation was completed, they finally sealed the holes.
Not long after, there was a faint sound of cracking coming from the small hole!
"It's done." These people breathed a sigh of relief.
After checking that there was no traffic coming and going, he hurriedly said:
"Quick, hurry up!"
Immediately, several people seemed to be escaping from some danger.
He hurriedly ran out of the tunnel, got in the car and quickly drove away from the scene.
At this time, the sound of 'clicking' was heard from time to time in the section of the tunnel maintenance site.
But this sound cannot be heard by any passing driver.
Gradually hidden in the traffic flow.
"Wow..." The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Above the mountain top of this tunnel, sand and gravel are constantly rolling down.
…
At that time, a bus from Qindao was heading towards Yanhai City.
A middle-aged couple in the car were Lin Nan's parents.
After a long drive in the afternoon, Lao Lin felt a little sleepy.
Lin Nan's mother, on the other hand, was still reading the message from her son.
There was heavy rain outside the car window, and I watched the bus enter a long tunnel.
The sound of rain outside gradually faded away, and the surrounding area became quiet.
"Oh, my son is really right, the rain in Yanhai City is quite heavy."
As Lin Nan's mother spoke, she took advantage of the quiet surroundings to send a voice message on her mobile phone:
"Nan Nan, we're almost there. It's a bit late. We've already found a place to stay."
"When we arrive, you don't need to come out to pick her up. We can just go there ourselves."
Lin Nan's mother said, obviously afraid of causing trouble to her son.
However, as the news came out.
I saw that this content was sent on my mobile phone for a long time but it was not successful.
Lin Nan's mother waited for a while and then realized that she was in a tunnel and the signal was not good.
So, he quickly pressed the voice button again and added:
"Nannan, we are entering the tunnel now, and the signal is not very good."
As Lin Nan's mother said these words, Lao Lin, who was lying next to him and was dozing, also said:
"Hey, Fengxia, please take a rest."
"There is no signal in this tunnel, so no message can be sent out."
"If you have this free time, why not take a nap for a while."
As Lao Lin said this, he moved his body again and adjusted his posture.
When Lin Nan's mother heard the sound, she rolled her eyes and said:
"You can sleep well. You can see your son later. Why aren't you happy at all?"
"Who is unhappy..."
Lao Lin wanted to retort at this moment, which was also his daily habit of bickering.
But at this moment, he seemed to hear a rumbling sound.
It felt like a huge boulder was rolling down from the top of his head, and his body could clearly feel a tremor!
"Rumble, rumble..."
As this voice sounded, Lao Lin was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the tunnel above.
I saw the arched tunnel with a row of lighting lamps shining brightly.
There doesn't seem to be anything strange going on.
But the voice was obviously real, and Lao Lin immediately turned to look at his wife.
"Eh? Fengxia...did you hear it? What happened just now?"
"I didn't hear you." Lin Nan's mother replied angrily.
Clearly still a little angry at the bickering, he continued to reply:
"If you stop being so suspicious here, you know how to change the subject."
But Lao Lin really felt something was wrong at this moment and looked around.
Seeing other passengers on the bus, they seemed to have heard the strange noise just above their heads.
At this moment, everyone had a puzzled expression.
They were whispering to their respective companions and muttering uncontrollably.
Seeing this situation, Lao Lin frowned and said to his wife:
"No...I feel a little flustered."
After hearing this, Lin Nan's mother became more serious now and put the previous quarrel behind her.
"Ah, Lao Lin, are you suffering from an old heart problem?"
"Stop thinking blindly, what could happen?"
"Hurry, drink some water first."
Lin Nan's mother said as she handed the water glass she was carrying to Lao Lin. Old Lin took the water glass and glanced around again.
I saw that the wall of the tunnel was retreating rapidly as the bus moved.
It’s so dizzying.
The feeling of panic came over again, and Lao Lin quickly looked away.
Immediately, he was about to take a sip of water to calm down.
"Boom! Crash!"
At this moment, a terrifying sound suddenly sounded from the front!
There was only a sound like rolling rocks, and it exploded not far away!
And there was a crashing sound like unloading, as if something was pouring down!
Almost at the same time, a moist cold wind suddenly poured into the tunnel!
This gust of wind was very fast and violent, and it hit everyone's face in an instant, covering everyone's faces!
Moreover, this wind also carries a strong smell of earth!
"Dudu!"
Before everyone on the bus could react, they heard another rapid blast of horns!
Everyone immediately panicked and looked ahead hurriedly.
The next scene became an unforgettable scene in their lives!
"Ah!" followed by an exclamation, illuminated by the lights of the tunnel.
At the end of this tunnel, the night that could originally be seen has been completely covered!
The swamp-like sand, gravel and soil are pouring into the tunnel!
Under the light of the tunnel, the exit in front is already covered in mud yellow!
Moreover, these moist silt pour in very fast!
In just the blink of an eye, more than ten meters were poured into it.
And many passengers watched helplessly at the end of the tunnel, where there were some vehicles that they could not avoid.
It had been buried in the sand and disappeared in an instant!
"Bang...bang!!"
At the same time, there were several collisions with the vehicles ahead!
The sound of sudden braking resounded in this long tunnel!
There was already a rear-end collision with a vehicle ahead, creating a mess!
Moreover, many people did not care about the car being hit, and hurriedly got out of the car and ran in the opposite direction.
It's like racing against death!
"Bah!"
Immediately afterwards, another sudden braking sound was heard, and the bus shook violently!
Apparently it was the driver of the bus who saw what was happening ahead and was so frightened that he quickly stepped on the brakes.
What followed was the sound of countless people crying and shouting loudly.
"Mudslide! Run!"
"Help...help!"
“My kids are still in the car!”
Along with the cry from the front, a terrifying atmosphere swept through the entire bus.
The passengers in the car were stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.
Fortunately, the location of the bus is not that far forward.
There was still a distance from where the mudslide was coming in front, and it was still far enough for the people on the car to react.
"Quick...run!"
"Master driver, please reverse the car quickly!"
Following the reminders from several passengers in the car, they all wanted to make the driver retreat quickly.
When the driver of the bus heard the sound, he immediately started the car and prepared to fall backwards.
However, vehicles continued to pour in from behind this tunnel, and they did not know the horror ahead.
I just thought there was some traffic accident.
The bus driver tried, but was stuck in the middle of the vehicle behind him.
Seeing that the car could not move, the passengers in the car also made up their minds.
I just wanted to quickly pack my luggage and run back.
Lin Nan's parents saw everyone's reaction and hurriedly started to pick up their luggage.
But just as he was about to escape from the car, a terrifying sound came from around the tunnel.
"Click..."
Along with bursts of cracking sounds, the passengers present fell into panic.
Didn't react immediately.
Lao Lin's expression froze and he hurriedly looked around the tunnel.
Not far away, I saw a green construction barrier.
Look along the construction site.
The tunnel wall surrounding the green barrier actually showed cracks!
And with the humid air outside, these cracks are expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In an instant, it had spread to most of the tunnel.
This crack almost surrounds the tunnel, extending from the bottom to the top!
And the crack is located not far behind the bus!
Seeing this scene, Old Lin was startled.
He seemed to have reacted and hurriedly shouted:
"Quick, move quickly, this tunnel is going to collapse!"
As his words rang out, the surrounding passengers suddenly panicked again!
And Lao Lin seemed to see that if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape quickly.
Then it will undoubtedly be buried in the sand.
So he hurriedly grabbed his wife and hurriedly ran back.
However, before he could take a few steps, Lao Lin's figure suddenly froze.
"Pa la..."
There was another cracking sound, and he followed Lao Lin's line of sight.
I saw that the top of the tunnel behind had begun to collapse!
Wet soil and gravel fell from the gaps, getting bigger and bigger in an instant!
The gap is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and sand and gravel are pouring down along the gap!
People who had already run dozens of meters just caught up with the sand and rocks pouring down from their heads.
Seeing the sediment pouring into the tunnel, the road behind it was gradually blocked.
And when part of the tunnel began to collapse, the sand and gravel instantly filled the part.
Soon, the road behind was also blocked!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked!
Originally, he was trying to run away with all his strength, but now he has no direction to run.
In an instant, it seemed that there was no hope of survival, and the tunnel was blocked in front and back!
At present, many passengers who are blocked here are extremely horrified.
They never expected that the exit in front of the tunnel would be blocked by the pouring mudslides.
The way back here actually caught up with the tunnel collapse!
There is also no way to go back!
At this time, there were at least thirty or forty people in the tunnel, and they were all frightened.
Standing there helpless, people who knew each other hugged each other.
He kept praying out of his mouth.
At the same time, everyone was listening to the sound outside, but it still didn't stop.
Obviously, the sand and gravel are still pouring down, and the rain outside has no intention of stopping.
"Old Lin, what...what should we do now?"
Lin Nan's mother had never seen such a scene before, and there was already a hint of sobbing in her tone.
"Huh...it's okay, it's okay."
"He's not dead yet."
Lao Lin took a long breath, patted his wife on the back, and kept comforting her.
After waiting in fear for a while.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and there seemed to be no more strange phenomena.
In the tunnel, there were many people sobbing.
These people who were blocked in the tunnel also tried to contact the outside world.
But I kept trying while holding my phone.
Everyone was disappointed to find out.
In this blocked tunnel... there is no signal at all!
