Chapter 243
Zhang Xing nodded straightforwardly:
"Of course, our forestry engineer also said that although you are carefree, you are very cautious. Although you are not from an engineering major, you have your own opinions on engineering projects. By the way, he also said that you are particularly talented in management. The reason why our project can be steadily advanced is largely due to your contribution."
The bearded supervisor laughed and waved his hand casually and said:
"Oh, your forestry engineer is so polite! He usually looks taciturn and serious, but I didn't expect that he is so good at praising people behind his back!"
In fact, the biggest contribution in the whole project belongs to your forestry engineer. If it weren't for him, our project would be difficult to handle! So what your forestry engineer said is right. In the future, we should contact and cooperate more with each other, so that we can speed up the completion of this project."
At this point, the bearded supervisor suddenly remembered something and asked:
"By the way, have you started the work of repairing the tunnel entrance? "
Zhang Xing shook his head, with a helpless look on his face, and said:
"Oh, not yet, because we just arrived here today, our team needs to sort out the plan first, after all, we don't know the specific situation of the tunnel entrance collapse clearly enough."
"And I heard that a reporter seemed to sneak into the tunnel entrance today, and now our people are looking for this reporter inside. Due to this unexpected incident, the leader of our team decided to wait until the reporter's matter is found and dealt with before going to the tunnel entrance for investigation and repair work."
When Zhang Xing said the last words, he actually had his own purpose. He wanted to test the bearded supervisor in this way to see if he could get some useful information or clues from him.
After hearing this, the bearded supervisor's expression changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to stay calm and said:
"Oh, I almost forgot about this matter. Your team leader is indeed very thoughtful. But don't worry, the reporter who ran in will be caught soon. "
"In addition, we will strengthen the security measures at the construction site to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again. At the same time, we will find the reporter as soon as possible to understand his purpose and intention so as to better deal with possible situations."
Zhang Xing asked tentatively:
"Didn't I hear that the other end of the tunnel has been opened? This reporter has been in there for more than two hours. If he goes out from the other end of the tunnel, he may be able to escape. "
The bearded supervisor shook his head bluntly and said:
"It's impossible to escape. The other end of the tunnel is indeed connected, but we have special people guarding it. What's more, there is a base in the middle of the tunnel, where people are stationed..."
At this point, the bearded supervisor suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He paused hurriedly, and then explained to Zhang Xing in a relaxed and natural manner:
"Some specific things are hard to say. Anyway, I tell you that he can't escape. He will be caught in one or two hours at most. When he is sent out, I have to give him a good beating. These days, these damn tabloid reporters are fucking crazy. In order to get some traffic, they dare to do anything and don't even look at whose territory it is. "
The bearded supervisor's words contained a lot of information. Zhang Xing memorized them secretly. The facts might be consistent with his guess, and the secret might be buried under the tunnel.
It seems that the team leader Geng Jianhui should have discovered that there was a mystery under the tunnel, so he used the identity of a reporter and entered the tunnel regardless of everything.
"Yes, yes, these reporters are too crazy now. Supervisor, you don't have to be angry because of such a person. When our people successfully catch him, force him to hand over the photos and negatives he took, and educate him again, it should be fine."
Zhang Xing hurriedly said something along the lines of the supervisor.
The supervisor nodded and said:
"Of course, this kind of tabloid reporter can't stir up any waves, but our project is a project that the government supports, and Guangjue Temple has caused some bad rumors on the Internet some time ago, so it attracted the attention of the media. Therefore, we still need to strengthen the control of the construction area in the back mountain, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. "
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that after what happened today, I temporarily blocked the tunnel entrance. Even those who enter the tunnel entrance for work need to hold the pass I issued, otherwise they are not allowed to approach the tunnel entrance. You should also inform the person in charge of your team about this. When the tunnel entrance is unblocked, I will send someone to notify you. "
When Zhang Xing heard this, he thought that he must find a way to get a pass for the tunnel entrance.The pass, no one can enter now, which is equivalent to giving me the opportunity to enter. If I wait until the blockade is lifted, it will be even more difficult for me to get in.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xing first praised the supervisor's wise decision. The supervisor was very proud of the praise, and then said in embarrassment:
"By the way, supervisor, can you issue me a pass for the tunnel entrance first?"
When the supervisor heard this, his face suddenly changed and frowned slightly:
"Hasn't your team discussed the plan yet? Besides, the tunnel entrance is now blocked, what are you doing in it?"
Zhang Xing patiently explained:
"Supervisor, you don't know, I am responsible for the exploration work in the team. The sooner I complete the exploration work, the sooner the team can refine the plan. After our team leader came this morning, he gave me the order. Exploration work. "
"I had a stomachache in the morning, and later I heard about the reporter's trespassing into the tunnel, so I delayed my work. Supervisor, don't worry, I want an access permit, not to go into the tunnel for investigation, I just want to investigate at the entrance of the tunnel, about 20 to 30 meters deep. "
"If I finish the exploration work early, our team can come up with a plan as soon as possible, and carry out the subsequent repair work of the tunnel entrance as soon as possible. This is also for the overall consideration. "
Although Zhang Xing knew that his request was a bit risky, after all, it would easily arouse the other party's suspicion, but he had no choice but to go all out.
Moreover, after communicating and observing with the boss's brother-in-law, the supervisor, Zhang Xing found that although this person was harsh to others, he was not deep-minded and his thinking was not meticulous enough.
Take the fact that he has not really verified his identity since he appeared, which can be seen.
Therefore, Zhang Xing decided to seize this opportunity and take a gamble.
After Zhang Xing made his request, the supervisor frowned and began to think. He looked embarrassed at first, but he finally took out a pass and handed it to Zhang Xing.
When he handed the pass to Zhang Xing, he specifically instructed:
"Remember, this pass only allows you to conduct exploration work at the entrance of the tunnel, and you must not enter the tunnel. If any accident occurs, I cannot take responsibility."
Then he added:
"In addition, I am very busy today and cannot meet with your team. But please rest assured that I will arrange time as soon as possible. I will go to the site in person tomorrow to meet with your team and check the repair plan you designed together."
Zhang Xing smiled and put the pass into his pocket, then nodded with satisfaction. He looked up at the other party and said:
"Thank you for your help! You are welcome to come to our construction site to guide the work."
The supervisor was very comfortable with Zhang Xing's flattery today, with a satisfied smile on his face. Zhang Xing continued to chat with him for a few more words and then left.
With the pass and the chat with the supervisor just now, many workers nearby knew Zhang Xing. Although no one knew Zhang Xing's identity, seeing that he was chatting happily with the supervisor, they naturally knew that this person was not an ordinary person. In this case, it was easy for Zhang Xing to find out where the tunnel entrance was.
After some inquiries, Zhang Xing found the tunnel entrance in less than five minutes.
What Zhang Xing didn't expect was that the entrance of this tunnel was actually built in the depths of a quiet valley. The tunnel entrance that had experienced a landslide was like a silent wound embedded in the towering mountain.
Around the entrance, collapsed stones were piled up in a mess, of different sizes and shapes. Some were like huge beasts lying horizontally, and some were like sharp fangs. The once solid mountain was now covered with shocking cracks, as if it was split by a ruthless axe, winding and extending to the end of the sight.
Weeds grew tenaciously from the cracks in the rocks, shivering in the wind. Several dead trees stood crookedly on the side, with dry branches, as if they had exhausted their vitality in the disaster.
At the entrance of the tunnel, it was dark and deep, like a big mouth that swallowed everything. The cold wind blew quietly from inside, carrying a stale smell that made people feel cold on the back.
On the ground, thick dust covered the traces of the past, and occasionally some broken tools and twisted steel bars could be seen.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't wander around here. This place has been blocked."
When Zhang Xing was standing on the upper platform of the tunnel entrance and looking down, the two security guards who were responsible for guarding the entrance noticed him. They looked up at Zhang Xing with puzzled and vigilant expressions on their faces.
However, Zhang Xing did notUnaffected by this scene, he calmly walked down the escalator from the platform.
When Zhang Xing came to the ground, he handed the pass to the two security guards and introduced himself:
"I am a staff member who came in for exploration."
The security guard took the pass and carefully checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he put aside his doubts.
One of the security guards said to Zhang Xing: "Since you are here to explore, please feel free to do as you please, but remember not to go too deep, and try to explore at the edge of the entrance."
Another security guard also echoed and reminded: "Yes, the situation inside is very complicated, and we cannot guarantee your safety."
Zhang Xing nodded and tentatively asked the two security guards:
"By the way, has the reporter who ran in at noon been caught?"
The two security guards looked at each other, and the older security guard frowned and said:
"I don't know, I have been guarding here, and I haven't seen him go out from here. This tunnel is complicated and dark. If he I really want to find a hidden place to hide. It is really not easy for us to find him. "
The younger security guard with a disabled leg sighed and said worriedly:
"If he really escapes to a sunken place on the ground, it will be troublesome. The terrain there is complicated, and it is difficult for our people to catch him. Moreover, he may lose his way and even be unable to leave there."
When Zhang Xing heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the lame security guard, with a puzzled and curious expression on his face, and asked impatiently:
"What sunken place? !"
The lame security guard suddenly seemed to be startled, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes flickered. He seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only stutter nervously: "Uh... I, I may have remembered it wrong, but it's nothing special."
After saying that, he deliberately avoided Zhang Xing's gaze.
Zhang Xing noticed the abnormality of the lame security guard, and felt that things were not simple. He frowned and asked again: "Brother, did you really remember it wrong?"
The lame security guard's face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to conceal the truth, and shook his head calmly:
"It's really nothing. This tunnel has been built for several years. Except for the original construction team who had entered the tunnel, no one else on our construction site had ever entered it. They said that the environment inside the tunnel is very complicated and full of unknown dangers. So, I advise you not to go deep into it rashly."
After that, the lame security guard stopped talking. The slightly older security guard also had some doubts on his face, but he didn't continue talking.
Intuition told Zhang Xing that this lame security guard must know something about the situation in the tunnel. From the tone of his words just now, it is not difficult to hear that there is a lot of things in the tunnel, especially the sunken area.
The other party refused to speak, there must be some unknown secrets in there, these secrets may make him afraid and worried, or someone warned him not to talk about the sunken area, so he just let it slip, and then he shut up immediately after realizing it.
In this case, it is very difficult to get more information from him, because the other party is obviously alert, and Zhang Xing does not have much time to delay any longer. First, the situation of team leader Geng Jianhui is unknown inside, and second, his fake identity is at risk of being exposed at any time. If he does not enter the tunnel as soon as possible, he may face more troubles. For now, he can only bite the bullet and enter the tunnel to investigate.
With this in mind, Zhang Xing did not delay any longer, nodded to the two security guards, and stepped straight into the tunnel.
