Chapter 278: Desperate Situation
Chapter 278: Desperate Situation
Three days later, in the three days after the Piper Girl left, we made a comprehensive inventory of all the burial objects on the other side of the shadow wall, outside the tomb. This funerary object is huge, well-preserved, and of astonishing value, and it is already certain that it is also a treasure trove for the Qing emperor, in addition to the burial of the two princesses, but it is of no use to us to know that these are of no use to us at all. We'd numbered and arranged everything neatly, and everyone was in order, but though they didn't say anything, I could feel an inexplicable fear creeping through us.
Two things happened during this period, the first was that Yun Ximing and Dazhe had a quarrel, because when we were sorting out the funeral goods, Ximing found that Dazhe had secretly put a fallen ruby into his pocket. In fact, we all know that Dazhe is greedy for money, although it is inappropriate for him to do this, but Yun Ximing suddenly quarreled with Dazhe like a demon, fortunately there are Uncle Lu and Li Yunxian to stop him, otherwise I don't know how things will develop.
The second thing is that there is one person missing from our team, and Wu Teng is missing. Since the Piper Girl disappeared, Wu Teng has disappeared, we searched everywhere and did not find it, no one alive, no dead body, we suspect that he may have escaped by himself, but there is no trace in the tomb, even if he escaped first, it is impossible not to leave any traces. We counted the things around us and the funeral goods, and found nothing missing, the only thing missing was Wu Teng's own package and some food. We speculate that he may have discovered some secret passage and escaped on his own. But we examined almost every brick on the walls around the tomb and found nothing.
It was not surprising to me that these two things had happened, for we had been in this catacombs for about ten days, and according to our previous plans and the transportation of our personnel, the food and water we were carrying could last at most fifteen days, and although we were well prepared and ready to fight a protracted war here, we would still be in a state of panic as the food and water sources dwindled. In addition, the burial chamber has been closed for a long time. Our mental state will also become more and more sluggish. If you are in a closed space for a long time, the oxygen content of the air decreases, the air circulation slows down, and the metabolism becomes slow. Bodily functions because of a vicious circle. Becoming tired. Irritability, nervousness, panic. In severe cases, hallucinations may occur. If we continue like this, even if we don't go crazy here, we will starve to death here.
I was very anxious to hide my nervousness, so I had to hold my agarwood box every day, pretending to be studying. In fact, the blood sacrifice on the agarwood box has been lifted, and the same as the box I got before, this box also has a handprint on it, which is also half, located in the upper right corner of the box, I guess that my box and the one at home should be able to be put together, at least I can get half of the palm print, but whose palm print is and why it appears here, all become a mystery.
"Sister Yinyin, you've been looking at that box all morning, is there anything you haven't understood? In the past few days, you have been facing this box every day, sullen all day long, and everyone is very worried. Don't worry, Uncle Lu said, it's very safe here, as long as they find a way out, we can go back. Yun Ning said.
"Don't worry, Yun Ning, I'm fine, I just want to study this box more. Today, according to the plan, they were divided into two groups, sorted out the funeral goods, and looked for an exit. I said.
Every day Yun Ning would come to me and say the same thing, in my opinion, it was useless, of course I knew that it was safe here, but it was because it was too safe, but it had also become our desperate situation.
We've tried all sorts of these things these days, and the first thing we thought of was to go back the way we came, but the small door to Kun suddenly couldn't be opened, and as for why we couldn't know why, the small door was like it was blocked by some kind of charm, and no matter what method we used, it couldn't be opened. We dare not use explosives in this deep underground, and any mistake could become our talisman.
We tried to find out what kind of mechanism, but we looked at all the walls of the tomb one by one, Yun Ximing touched them all, there were no mechanisms, but one thing is certain, there is a ventilation method in this tomb, so there is enough air in the tomb, but later we found that the reason why there is air flow is because the tomb uses hollow green bricks, which are spliced together to attract air from the outside world, but whether it is the gap in the green bricks or the removal of the green bricks, it is impossible to help us escape.
We even thought of calling for help, but since we walked down that endless staircase, we have not received any signal, and I guess neither the radio signal nor the mobile phone communication signal has such a setting, after all, no one can run deeper than the subway without anything. Yun Xian also smashed his mobile phone because of this.
In a word, we tried everything we could think of, but we were stuck here for three days and no progress was made. Not only that, but the agarwood box I opened also caused me a problem, which contained the bronze key, or a part of the key to be precise, but this part and the one I was carrying could not be spliced together, so it can be inferred that the key was divided into at least three parts, and these two parts were not two parts that could be spliced together. Or maybe there isn't just one key, which could be different parts of the two keys. What do these keys do, and why did my ancestors scatter them in different places. Who the hell is that ancestor of mine? Are we the descendants of the Himese family? What the hell are those inexplicable memories that come to my mind.
The ancient tomb we came to has no dangerous mechanisms, no terrifying monsters, and will not die like the third uncle, but the ancient tomb where we are is full of puzzles, when a person encounters too many puzzles that cannot be solved, the whole heart is on the verge of collapse. Not only is it here that we are in a desperate situation, but it also puts my heart in a desperate situation.
"Can we go out again, if we eat like this again, I'll have to eat myself." When the time comes, Dazhe took the food distributed by Sister Wang Na, compressed the biscuits, and complained dissatisfied. Not only him, but I also saw Lin Zhuang's face showing displeasure, Li Yunxian brought a total of four people, Wen Qianwen and Wan brothers were buried in the belly of the fish, Wu Teng left the team without authorization, his whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, only this Lin Zhuang is left, although he looks a little silly, he is still loyal.
Everyone was silent and didn't speak, and I didn't know what was going on in their hearts, I sometimes envy Yun Ning, at least her ability to read minds, no one can deceive him. I sat next to Yun Ximing, and I noticed that he didn't eat compressed biscuits at all, but kept kneading his knuckles.
"What's wrong with the hand?" I asked, of course, this is also a lack of words.
"It's okay, I groped through all the walls again today, but this hand is a little unbearable." Yun Ximing said, I saw that his fingers were covered with blood tumors, after all, those walls were made of green bricks, although Yun Ximing had practiced such kung fu, but after all, he was flesh and blood, obviously there was no way to always use such kung fu. I handed over the hemostatic potion I was carrying, and Yun Ximing took it silently without even saying a word.
"Brother Gongzi, don't go to inspect those walls tomorrow, let's just accept our fate, there must be no way out here, if we don't do this, you believe me, let's put on explosives and blow them up." Every day, Dazhe would suggest the use of explosives, "I can't carry the explosives in this backpack, so let's carry them back." Dazhe said.
"Don't say it, it's definitely not okay to put on explosives, we can't let you go because you brought explosives and have no place to use them, in case it really blows up, we don't know how many meters underground, even if we are buried alive, no one can find it." Li Yunxian said.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you can do that, you should find a way? If we go on like this, we really won't be buried alive, but we may starve to death, I don't want to eat any broken biscuits anymore, I want to eat meat, this thing can't be eaten at all, you see, my face is green when I eat. Dazhe said angrily.
"Meat, meat, you know meat. Hurry up and eat your braised pork. Min Lan said and handed over a biscuit, Dazhe looked at it, and the disgusted expression was obviously to say that this is not braised pork. However, because it was handed over by Min Lan, Dazhe still took it.
"I think if we still can't get out in a few days, you don't have to stop me, just give me a rope, I can hang myself by the neck, at least I will die happily, and it is better than starving like this." Dazhe looked up as he spoke, "Come on, I can't even meet this requirement, the ceiling here is so high, and there is not even a beam for hanging in front of this ceiling." Dazhe said.
"What is not dead, what is hanging, can you say something serious." Min Lan said dissatisfied.
"Wait a minute, Dazhe, what did you just say? What's wrong with it? "It seemed to me that I had a flash of inspiration.
"I said I wanted to hang myself, but there was no place to hang it, and there wasn't even a beam in front of it." Dazhe said.
I quickly looked up and saw that the ceiling was very high, and the light inside the tomb was not good, and it looked dark, "It seems that if we want to escape, we have to make a fuss on this ceiling." (To be continued......)
