There is a Wall Behind the Shadow

Chapter 104

Views:

Zhao Youxiang always felt that his name was a bit earthy when he was young, especially when his family moved from the agricultural subsidiary star of Mingtan No. 323 to the main star of Mingtan when he was in elementary school, he felt that his name was different from those Hongyu, Haoming, and God on the class list. Jie, Ruilin are very incompatible.

This sense of incompatibility accompanied him for quite a long time when he was young, until he graduated from university, he was still quite resistant to this name with the flavor of an agricultural subsidiary star.

But now, he already quite likes his name.

After all, when he was taking the exam at the Mingtan Star Space Bureau, he was tied for the first place in the written test, but he couldn't beat him in the interview, and it is said that it is due to his name.

Knowing that, it was already the third year that he had worked hard in the Mingtan Star Space Agency. At a young age, Zhao Youxiang squeezed from an ordinary post into the commercial office of the space agency, and became a clerk in the commercial office. At that time, when his department was collaborating with other departments, he met the interviewer who recruited him. After a few rounds of drinking, the interviewer joked that when he recruited Zhao Youxiang to come in, the person who tied for the first place in the written test was really good. It's a pity that there is only one place, because Zhao Youxiang's name looks very auspicious. For a unit like the space agency, it's all about going smoothly. There are two people who are about the same, so I chose a good name to come in.

If Zhao Youxiang was young, he might be bored. It's just that Zhao Youxiang, who has been in the space agency for three years, has been able to get into the commercial office, and he has already discerned his interests. Not only does he not feel humiliated, but he is relieved of his local name.

As the interviewer said, Zhao Youxiang's name is blessed, and the blessing is yet to come. He has just turned 40 this year, and he has already secured his position as the deputy director of the office of Mingtan Star's Commercial Office. Although it is not a technical post, and the content of the work does not match the profound word "aerospace", as the name suggests, the commercial office is the interface between the space agency and external companies. Those who can get involved with the space agency are all rich and large companies. As the second in command of the office, one can imagine the troubles involved.

Not to mention whether they will cooperate or not, whether the cooperation will be successful or not, even a little bit of innocuous news from time to time, is enough for Zhao Youxiang to collect a sum beautifully.

And this latest stroke came from the other end of the voice call, Yao Yuxi, the current young head of the Yao family.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yao." Zhao Youxiang put on the earphones, connected the voice call, greeted him in a familiar and unflattering manner, but tapped the desk with his fingertips, and looked at the photo on the desk.

The lawn photo taken a few days ago by the family of three was taken in the villa that Yao Yuxi gave him not long ago.

"Director Zhao, I want to make sure again, is the space situation around Wilderness Star still normal? I don't know if Director Zhao has paid attention to the latest variety show called "Journey into the Wild". After passing a large group of bats, in the pond that I passed by this morning, the fish raised by the program team had to go upstream despite being injured, these situations seem a little abnormal.” Yao Yuxi, who was somewhat inexplicably flustered, didn’t exchange many greetings, and his words were to the point.

"Ah, it's normal, it must be normal. The last time Mr. Yao came to ask, it was more than a month ago. At that time, I went up to ask the technical staff. Are you worried that this is an earthquake out of phase? Hahaha no Yes, there are several monitoring stations on Wilderness Star, if there is any change, it will be observed a few months ago." Zhao Youxiang comforted with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Yao, it should be just an accidental phenomenon. Returning farmland to forests, is it the introduction of animals and plants, maybe it’s just that some other animals have disturbed the neighborhood.”

Yao Yuxi pressed the Xingwang client with one finger, and did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Youxiang didn't know the specific situation of "Journey into the Wild", so he would say things like disturbing other animals.

But according to Yao Yuxi's information, the route of this "Journey into the Wilderness" has been carefully designed. From the starting point where the guests got off the plane, to the old castle, and then to the final destination, this long section of the road, including the nearby The tops of the hills are all covered by protective shields.

More than a dozen mountains, or more, are covered by signal devices, forming a protective shield that cannot be entered or exited by creatures. Then the Mu family spent a lot of money and hired several teams to clean up the enclosed areas.

Not to mention the ferocious beasts that would disturb the animals, even ordinary animals are probably not left. The rest, like the Bat Cave, are also for the show.

For example, the frogs and fish in the show, as well as the chickens and rabbits in the later links, were all arranged by the show group later.

It is said that with such an arrangement, there will be no more disturbing animals.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything has been cleaned up.

Otherwise, there will be no such thing as the king cobra at the starting point.

"Boss Yao? Are you still there, Boss Yao?"

Zhao Youxiang's voice sounded again.

Yao Yuxi sighed, thought for a while and insisted: "Can you trouble Director Zhao to help me look at the data on Wilderness Star now?"

"..." Zhao Youxiang glanced at the photo on the desk again, but he responded again and again, not at all unhappy, "Okay, just finished the meeting, and I have nothing to do, so I went over to have a look. Call Mr. Yao back later."

The phone is disconnected.

Yao Yuxi leaned back on the office chair, frowned, and continued to watch the live broadcast.

On Wilderness Star, Team Sheep's explanation for the safety of the cave obviously did not satisfy the guests, and for a moment they were deadlocked on the issue of whether to go in or go around.

In the program group behind, Director Zhang quite likes this kind of scene where the guests and the team leader confront each other. However, listening to Wang Daming and Zhao Da talking about it not getting too early, Director Zhang felt that the confrontation was almost done, and he still had to push forward.

After all, the night before had been a toss, and everyone was not resting well. Director Zhang personally said that he didn't want to go around the mountain or the foot of the mountain at all.

Under the leadership of Director Zhang, the program group, which was a little behind the guests, walked forward.

Director Zhang opened his mouth, and Wang Daming naturally followed up to help, together with the sheep team, the three of them spoke earnestly, adding firewood to fuel, adding firewood to fire, and continuing to reason with reason...

After talking so lively, the guests can of course argue face to face, but that scene is really... a bit too ugly.

This time Director Zhang and the sheep team agreed and were quite firm.

They had to suspect that if they chose not to go to this cave, but to go up the mountain or go around the foot of the mountain, the program team probably wouldn't give them maps and tips.

Maybe, they'd be happy to see them get lost, maybe miss camp for the night.

Xu Shiyi's opening program was too grueling. Even though Director Zhang performed very well before today, they still had difficulty taking off the filters formed on the first day.

So after further discussion, the cave still has to be entered.

When everyone opened their backpacks and added clothes to their bodies, Song Shiyue took two steps into the cave to look at the environment.

In this cave, it's not always on a horizontal line.

After a few steps from the entrance of the cave, it is about to start going downhill. Judging by this trend, it is very likely to go deeper, not only in the mountainside, but also underground. As far as Song Shiyue could hear, there must be an underground river further inside.

However, after entering, it was wider than Song Shiyue imagined. Walking a little inside, you came to a big open hole. You can walk on the rock wall on both sides, but it is obvious that the ground on the right is neater and more stable, which is the trace of manual excavation and care.

The top of the cave above is currently six or seven stories high, but I just don’t know what will happen if I continue walking. If Song Shiyue read it correctly, the roof of the cave on the right also has some traces of chiseling, and it looks quite new.

In this way, if the sheep team had a professional team to evaluate and take care of this cave passage before the filming of the show, the credibility would be much higher.

Soon, the sound of the sheep team telling Song Shiyue to go out came from outside the cave.

Song Shiyue didn't go any further, but finally turned on the flashlight far away.

The bat didn't see it, but it saw a place further inside, which seemed to have the appearance of steps. It seems that the artificial craftsmanship is quite in place.

"As far as the entrance of the cave is concerned, the environment is not bad. You can go to the right first. Someone should have maintained the ground and the roof before. When you go inside, pay a little attention and cut the road when you need to." Song Shi Yue said, and glanced at the forest not far away, "Do you think we should get some wood to make a helmet? The strength and protection of wood are relatively low, but it's better than nothing. But it may not be so good if you make it yourself. Delicate, if you are not careful, you may hurt yourself instead."

After all, Song Shiyue's eyes fell on Yu Nianbing.

In fact, Song Shiyue himself also felt a dilemma. The wooden helmet cannot be made too thick, and the neck will not be able to support it, but if it is thinner, it can be slightly blocked when bats come. Wooden helmets don't do much either...

What Song Shiyue thought of, everyone discussed it in a few words, and probably thought of it too.

I have already spent too much time staying here, instead of spending time making so many helmets that are not very useful, it is better to just go ahead and finish it early.

In fact, if the program group didn't make everyone too resistant at the beginning, and now they trust the program group more, everyone wouldn't worry so much.

After all, this is a live broadcast, and if the program team and Mrs. Mu don't want to mess up beyond repair, they won't even provide protective equipment in dangerous places.

Everyone finally agreed.

In order to ensure the safety of the guests, Zhao Er proposed that people from the program team also join the team of the guests to increase the safety of the guests.

Therefore, when following the sheep team into the cave, the order of the queue changed a little.

The sheep team still leads, followed by Zhuang Jiachuan, Guan Yongyi, Ning Chuyang and Mu Xingzhou. In the middle were Zhao Er and Wang Daming, followed by Yu Nianbing and Song Shiyue. Behind them are Feng Qianqian and Ni Jinghe. Director Zhang is second to last, and finally Zhao Daduan is behind.

Although it is to increase security, in fact, there are Zhao Dazhao Erding in the program group.

But it can be regarded as the intention of the program group. Anyway, there is no hindrance, so everyone just went in like this.

And on Wilderness Star, when the two teams joined together to enter the cave, on Mingtan Main Star, the elevator where Zhao Youxiang was standing in the space agency had already stopped at the monitoring department floor.

The monitoring department is actually the department of the main star of Mingtan to monitor the conditions of the stars and the surrounding space. The information in it can't be said to be top-notch secrets, after all, it cannot be retrieved at will.

People like Zhao Youxiang whose position is not high enough can make a report to retrieve some data only when they need to retrieve data during cooperation with external companies.

But Yao Yuxi didn't have any cooperation with the space agency at all, but he had dealt with Zhao Youxiang before, so he asked him to help.

Wilderness Star has belonged to the Mu family for more than ten years. Even the space agency only conducts safety monitoring, and has no right to share the data of the Wilderer Star with anyone other than the Mu family.

Naturally, Zhao Youxiang didn't follow the well-behaved way of reporting, he just came to chat with people casually.

The elevator door opened, and just as Zhao Youxiang was about to go out, he saw the second in command of the space agency at the door of the monitoring department.

Bad timing, let's talk about it next time.

Zhao Youxiang was able to climb up to the deputy position in the oil and water department, and he still had a bit of foresight.

Back at the door of the office, Zhao Youxiang's heart was still beating a little.

Fortunately, this time, I just wanted to ask.

More than a month ago, Zhao Youxiang used the information with detailed data to exchange a villa from Yao Yuxi.

That was the biggest risk he had ever taken since he started his career.

Now that the villa has just been built, Yao Yuxi asked the same question again, but she hasn't asked for specific data yet, and Zhao Youxiang is too embarrassed to negotiate the price with her. I wanted to ask at first, it was supposed to be a gift to Yao Yuxi, to form a good relationship with Yao shi.

But obviously this good fate is not worth Zhao Youxiang's rush to take risks.

Zhao Youxiang's choice was correct.

Deputy Bureau Sun, the second in command of the space agency, did not leave for a long time after entering the testing department.

If someone takes a camera to take pictures of Deputy Director Sun, he will find that he is walking back and forth, inspecting the screens in front of each technician, and the time spent in front of each screen is about the same. And among them, there is the screen that Zhao Youxiang wanted to see just now, which is detecting Wilderness Star.

On the wilderness star, flashlights shone in the dark cave, but half illuminated the cave.

There were no bats for the time being, and when there were many people, I didn't feel how scary it was after coming in. Besides talking, it seemed like they were here for an adventure tour.

However, although the cave is quite spacious, the easy-to-walk path is actually quite narrow, which is enough for one person to walk steadily. If two people walk side by side, one foot may not be easy to walk on.

Song Shiyue didn't care much about this.

Since the previous staff came to repair the road on the right, that is to say, if there are bats, they will only be on the left or the rock wall above.

After Song Shiyue entered the cave, she took a step to the left and walked in parallel with Yu Nianbing.

Those canes made by Song Shiyue before are also quite useful in this cave. But because we still need to use flashlights, everyone only took one cane to support in their hands, and the other was temporarily hung on the back of the bag.

Song Shiyue originally made the two walking sticks for the purpose of getting along with the group. Since they were at the entrance of the cave, they insisted on hanging them on the back of the bag under Nian Bing's disapproving gaze.

After all, after coming in, one hand is holding a flashlight and the other hand is holding a person. How can there be more hands to use a cane

Originally, it was just a decoration for Song Shiyue, but now he can't take care of it.

Because of Song Shiyue's sudden rebellion, Yu Nianbing had no choice but to clenched the cane in his right hand and Song Shiyue's hand tightly, trying to make sure every step he took. If something happened to Song Shiyue, he would Can hold her up too.

The force value is a little bit different, a little weak chicken silently guards, anyway, the big tiger didn't feel it for a while.

Song Shiyue just felt that the hand holding Yu Nianbing seemed to be squeezed a little tight. Thinking about it, it was probably because the cave was too dark and too dark, and it was said that there were bats. Yu Nianbing might have been scared, so Naturally, he returned the strength to appease.

Sometimes, when we think too much about each other, mutual support may turn into arm wrestling, which is a bit inexplicably funny.

Not waiting for the two to get used to each other gradually, and adjust the strength of the holding to normal, a gust of cold wind that seems to have a little moisture in front of them makes people shiver, and can't help but pull the person they are holding closer and closer. Tighten up.

"Don't be afraid, there should be an underground river ahead." While Song Shiyue was speaking, the person walking ahead turned right and entered a slightly narrow hole.

Sure enough, when they passed by, they saw an underground river on the left, long and far away.

"You walk behind me." Yu Nianbing pulled Song Shiyue back with slightly trembling hands.

"It's okay. My side is still spacious, and it's still a few steps away from the river." Song Shiyue smiled and lit the side with a flashlight, and said, "Look, they also made a small railing."

Only then did Yu Nianbing shift his gaze from the deep underground river to the place illuminated by Song Shiyue.

At first glance, Yu Nianbing was in a fit of anger, and the force of pushing Song Shiyue behind his back increased a bit.

Although the stone railing between Song Shiyue and the river seems to be continuous, but it reaches the knees, isn't it just a small railing!

"Hey, it's okay. You can still walk two steps to reach the railing, and you can climb over the railing to get to the river." Song Shiyue looked at Yu Nianbing's expression of pursing her lips and getting angry again, she didn't know why she thought it was cute, I couldn't help talking and took two steps to the left, teasing Yu Nianbing.

So, sure enough, someone exploded in popularity.

"I'm back, I'm back, I'll go behind you." No one in the dark was bored enough to shine a flashlight on his face, but Song Shiyue's good eyesight was no different than Nian Bing's eye circles that were about to turn red all of a sudden. .

Sure enough, when Song Shiyue walked honestly behind Yu Nianbing, her right hand was squeezed gently and Yu Nianbing let go.

It is inconvenient to hold hands before and after walking.

Such a dangerous place, what kind of skin!

Even after pinching Song Shiyue heavily, Yu Nianbing didn't let go of his anger, and let Song Shiyue mutter a few words about the underground river behind him, but ignored her.

But soon, Song Shiyue stopped talking, and Yu Nianbing felt a little uncomfortable again.

I couldn't help but hesitate a bit, was I too indifferent to Song Shiyue just now...

Just when Nian Bing was struggling, there was another big hole that suddenly opened up in front of him, and what came with the sudden opening was a rather strange and not very pleasant smell.

Everyone's expressions were shocked, and the key word "bat" had begun to appear repeatedly in the conversation in front of the team.

Yu Nianbing unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes.

At the same time, Song Shiyue came to the front again as the left side warmed up.

"The road is wide now, and I'll go to the back when it narrows later." Song Shiyue's voice was a little soft, as if subdued and gentle.

what else

I can only forgive her!

It's not this time anyway...

Yu Nianbing took the initiative to hold Song Shiyue's hand.

"There are no bats here, it should be just a former habitat." Song Shiyue's flashlight swept back and forth to the rock wall and the ground far to the left, said so softly, then paused and said, "Maybe here The bats flew away last night, and we won’t be able to meet any of them today.”

Ordinarily, this kind of soothing words came out of Song Shiyue's mouth, regardless of whether there were arguments or no reason, there was always a momentary soothing effect.

But at the moment, what Song Shiyue said seemed quite reasonable, but Yu Nianbing didn't listen to it.

To be precise, Yu Nianbing's mind was no longer on bats.

"What's the matter with you? Are you okay?" Yu Nianbing's hand grabbed Song Shiyue's just now, and he felt something was wrong.

Why don't I say it before, the two people held hands in the past two days, it's not just once or twice, and it's not just a matter of holding each other for a while.

Yu Nianbing knew very well what it felt like to hold Song Shiyue's hand, and the strength of the response.

But now, it's not quite right.

At first, Yu Nian Bing thought that Song Shiyue knew that it was wrong to deliberately walk towards the river just now, so she softened her hands and let herself soften.

But when she felt that something was wrong and deliberately leaned a little towards Song Shiyue, she knew that something was really wrong.

On weekdays, if it is a difficult place to walk, it looks like the two are holding hands, but in fact it is Song Shiyue who is supporting Yu Nianbing.

Whether it's a big leverage or a small tilt, Song Shiyue is stronger than a cane and intelligently responds with appropriate strength, supporting Nian Bing firmly.

Just now, Yu Nianbing deliberately leaned towards Song Shiyue for a little while, and Song Shiyue did indeed return immediately to support herself with strength.

But that strength is really a little... small.

Some... soft

Even if Song Shiyue deliberately softened and softened to submit to softness, it shouldn't be soft at this time.

"It's okay." Song Shiyue replied subconsciously.

Just the next second, Song Shiyue looked at the deep underground river that seemed to have no end in front of him, and suddenly fainted before his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be in a trance, and paused.

"Song Shiyue?" Yu Nianbing's hand holding Song Shiyue suddenly tightened.

"Well, there is a little problem." Song Shiyue paused, and whispered, "I seem to be getting weaker and weaker."

This sentence, when ordinary people say it or hear it, the first reaction must be that they have no strength, that is, if they are tired, then take a rest.

Yu Nianbing's first reaction was the same, but she immediately reacted wrongly.

Not to mention Song Shiyue's normal life, but she still had a lot of strength just now, whether it was helping people or skinning, they were very powerful.

why suddenly...

"What should I do?" Yu Nianbing guessed that Song Shiyue might have a big problem now, but she only knew a little bit, and now she could only sweat and ask such a sentence.

What Song Shiyue couldn't say was that the strength in her body, the strength that had followed her for more than seven years, was suddenly pulled away bit by bit just now, more than ten steps ago.

"..." Song Shiyue looked forward, how deep, how far, and how dark the road ahead was.

is it there? or where

Are you taking away your only reliance these years
