The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1555 - 1554: Strange Occurrence

Ling Feng came to the wellhead, as this deep water well was not as wide as ordinary rural wells, the entire opening was only about thirty centimeters.

The drill bit had already been pulled up, leaving just a dark hole there.

The Divine Sense tried to search downward, but it could go only a few dozen meters before being unable to continue.

Obviously, the space was too narrow, limiting the entry of the Divine Sense.

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then turned to look at the drilling workers: "Can additional equipment be attached to your drill rod?"

"Mr. Ling, do you mean...?" The worker was a bit confused.

"I mean, remove the drill bit, attach lighting equipment and a camera to see what’s below!" Ling Feng said.

The worker muttered an "Oh" and then thought for a moment: "We could try, but we don’t have the equipment ready!"

"That’s a problem."

Ling Feng nodded and turned to Zhang Jinshan: "Do you have electrical wire and such?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Jinshan nodded and then said, "Leave it to me, Mr. Ling; I’ll figure something out for you!"

"How do you plan to do it?"

Ling Feng just asked, but Zhang Jinshan was already rushing off.

Watching his retreating figure, Ling Feng shook his head helplessly.

Then he turned to the drilling worker: "Is this the first or the second well?"

"It’s already the second one, the first went down two hundred meters, and we hit water successfully, with a very ample supply!" the worker said.

"Oh, that’s good then."

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "If there’s really an ancient tomb down there, then this well cannot be continued, let’s move to another location, I’ll compensate you for the costs."

"Alright, understood!"

The worker nodded; having drilled over a hundred meters, it indeed cost some money, so someone had to be responsible.

After waiting for over ten minutes, Zhang Jinshan hurried back with a small welding machine, carrying a bundle of electrical wire in hand.

"This is the camera from my home, just weld it onto the drill rod!" Zhang Jinshan said.

"What about the signal?" Ling Feng asked.

"I have wires here, once we move the television over, everyone will be able to watch!" Zhang Jinshan laughed.

As he spoke, several villagers were already carrying the television over.

After connecting to power at a nearby villager’s house, Zhang Jinshan squatted on the ground and began welding.

Sparks flew, and people turned their heads away to avoid getting their eyes burned by the light.

Ling Feng and others watched from the side, thinking that this village secretary was indeed capable of everything, and his ideas were quite creative, proving to be a resourceful person.

Soon, the camera was welded to the drill rod, and with the wires, it was lowered into the wellhead.

The television screen began displaying images, and as the drill rod was controlled by the workers and moved downward, the image quickly turned black and white.

This camera had infrared functionality, so it could capture the scene in the dark even without additional lighting.

Everyone gathered around the television, watching the well wall on the screen.

"Master, let us know when we reach that point!" Ling Feng shouted.

"Got it!"

The drilling worker nodded, staring at the depth gauge.

After a while, the descent of the camera slowed as a dark space suddenly appeared on the well wall.

"We’re at position!" the worker reminded.

Ling Feng nodded, and once the infrared light filled the space, everyone was stunned by what they saw on the screen.

It was a large underground space, appearing like the inside of a house with tables, chairs, and furniture, although the material couldn’t be discerned due to the infrared light.

Everyone was speechless.

Over a hundred meters underground, such a scene was indeed unexpected.

Yet, just as everyone was puzzled, a more surprising event occurred!

The camera suddenly showed a person approaching, raising something in their hand, and the signal was immediately lost!

"...."

The scene fell into complete silence, everyone was petrified, mouths agape but unable to make a sound.

After some time, someone softly asked, "My god, was that a human or a ghost?"

"..."

The people exchanged glances, unsure of what had happened.

The drilling worker was now a little scared, glancing at Ling Feng, cautiously asking: "Mr. Ling, what should we do now?"

"Leave the drill rod as it is, no movement for now!"

Ling Feng said this, furrowing his brows as he stood up.

That scene earlier was too eerie, and he felt rather confused.

It was previously known that intelligent life existed in the underground world.

However, the person that appeared just now was clearly different from those seen in North Africa before, resembling surface-dwelling humans in appearance.

Thus Ling Feng believed that the space beneath might not house subterranean people but those from the outside world.

But how did they end up underground, and how did they get down?

Unfortunately, the borehole was too small; otherwise, Ling Feng would have wanted to go down and investigate directly.

He was lost in thought here, undisturbed by others, as no one knew what to do.

After a while, an impatient Chen Hong suddenly asked, "I say, haven’t you figured out what to do yet?"

Ling Feng looked up at her: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Of course, just bring in larger machinery, dig our way down, and see what exactly is below!" Chen Hong said.

"One hundred and twenty meters isn’t something you can simply dig through!" Ling Feng said.

"But we can’t just leave that person down there, right? If the space below is vast or has other passages, they might have already escaped!"

Ni Hong said, then asked: "Also, don’t you find it strange? Hidden underground, could it be the Leader of the Tongtian Sect?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng thought about it, then helplessly shook his head: "Anyway, you were right about one thing; there could be other tunnels underground, and this person isn’t someone we can easily capture!"

After saying this, he looked at everyone and continued: "Everyone stop watching, disperse for now!"

Zhang Jinshan was momentarily taken aback before realizing that perhaps Mr. Ling was about to do something that wasn’t suitable for public viewing, so he quickly said: "Yes, yes, listen to Mr. Ling, everyone go home, don’t crowd around here!"

The villagers were, of course, reluctant, but since Ling Feng had contributed significantly to the village’s development, no one wanted to offend him.

Thus, everyone turned and went home, discussing what had happened as they left.

When the crowd dissipated and only a few remained in the plaza, Ling Feng said to the worker: "Master, you can pull the drill rod up now!"

"Oh, okay."

The worker nodded, then pressed the button.

"Alright, you all step aside too, if there’s a discovery, I’ll call you back!" Ling Feng told the worker and Zhang Jinshan.
