Volume 1 The Four Elephants Demon Palace Chapter 7 Opening the Coffin
In the dimly lit burial chamber, three incendiary rods spewed sparks while glowing weakly. This faint light source could not illuminate this huge tomb at all.
The margins of the burial chamber are all hidden in darkness, giving a sense of boundlessness. And there are four huge sarcophagi in the middle of the tomb, which makes the already terrifying tomb even more bizarre and inexplicable.
However, at this time, I couldn't worry about the strangeness of the tomb, and I was standing between two groups of people who were about to fight. If you don't know, at first glance, you think that these are two groups of tomb robbers, in order to compete for interests, to fight for life and death.
Both sides are expressionless, and they can move at any time. In order to save my own life, I mustered up the courage to yell, "What are you doing? The redundant word "what" at the back obviously shows my lack of confidence.
But there is no way to do it, in case someone fights in a rage, I will definitely be the first to be beaten into a sieve.
I don't know if it was my shouting that worked, or if it was something else, but Victoria was the first to speak: "Explain and explain!" ”
Victoria's expression was disdainful and haughty, and she raised her pointed chin slightly, looking down at us men with a kind of looking down.
To be honest, this kind of expression makes me very unhappy, and I am angry when I think of those women who are angry with rich people because they are close to them, and they are self-righteous. I only want to do one thing for this kind of underwhelming expression, and that is grass.
Of course, I'm just thinking about it, let me do it, I still don't have the guts, after all, it's my nature to be bold and small.
But now I have another feeling, I think Victoria is the most beautiful girl in the world, her expression is so cute, if there are really angels. That Victoria is definitely an angel on earth, because she was the first to break the silence and save my life.
Sure enough, it may have been intimidated by Victoria's lewdness and intimidation, Li Xiang shook his head and sighed, then unhurriedly took out a cigarette and lit one, took a few puffs hard, and then said: "Okay, since you want to know, I won't hide it, anyway, I think there is no way back this time!" ”
When I heard that there was no reply, my brows jumped, and my mood became involuntarily irritable, and I wanted to rush over and ask Li Xiang what he meant. But I couldn't help it, and I didn't know why I had this thought, maybe it was because of the oppressive atmosphere in the tomb, which caused my mood to change. Of course, I can't help but change, after all, both sides are still pointing guns at me.
Next is Li Xiang's narration, about nine days ago, they received a call from Yang Zizhong, saying that they had encountered a tricky matter and needed them to come over and deal with it.
After negotiating the price, Li Xiang didn't say a word, so he brought his brothers over. There are a total of ten people, in addition to Li Xiang, there are Shui Sheng, Lao Cai, Yidao, Shaoqi, Zhihui, Lao Song, Xiaohu, Junzi and A Huan.
What they do is a business of licking blood at the tip of a knife, killing people and selling goods, as long as they give money, they will do anything. I don't dare to say it, they also went a few times before the ghost gate closed.
When he came here, Yang Zizhong just said that he had found a tomb, but the people sent down were all dead. Li Xiang didn't know that they didn't know at first, and there was Yang Zizhong's Laozi among them.
Speaking of tombs, there are also dead people, Li Xiang instinctively thought of robbing tombs. But they didn't refuse, because this kind of thing, they didn't do it without it.
Besides, they are active on the border all year round, walking through the steep Gobi and the boundless primeval forest. The strange things encountered can be said to be countless, and every time they are killed with the knife and gun in their hands.
However, Li Xiang still discussed it with the other brothers, and naturally agreed to do it. One is that they are not afraid of the so-called zombie monsters, when they walked in the primeval forest, they also encountered zongzi, and finally sold zongzi to a Yankee and made a lot of money. Another reason is that the price is simply not to be refused.
In Li Xiang's opinion, as long as there is a gun in his hand, the king of heaven is not afraid.
Since it has been decided, there is no nonsense, and I came directly to this col. When I first came over, there was nothing special here. There were only a few pieces of equipment scattered around, and the only thing special was that the elevator had been cut off with a knife on it.
It's impossible for zombies to do this kind of thing, and the only thing that can explain it is human. You must know that such things as black eating black and getting rich are too common in this industry.
Therefore, Li Xiang didn't think much about them at that time, so they naturally thought that it was black eating black, took some equipment, and went down directly. When he went down, he saw nothing but blood all over the ground.
At that time, in order to see the tomb clearly, they used diesel generators and iodine-tungsten lamps to illuminate the entire tomb, as if they had just come down to see it.
There was nothing but the four huge sarcophagi. At that time, Li Xiang and they were also very puzzled, neither the body nor any monster was found. They are even more sure that it is for people, after all, the tomb is so big that they can see the bottom at a glance. So he informed Yang Zizhong and told him about the sarcophagus and asked him if he needed to open the coffin.
Yang Zizhong heard that there was no problem at that time, so he agreed to open the coffin. But Li thought about it more, and for the sake of insurance, he suggested to Yang Zizhong that he invite a few professional personnel to open the coffin.
Yang Zizhong agreed, saying that it would be about a week before he arrived. Let Li Xiang set up camp with them and wait for the arrival of professionals. So they set up camp on the spot and waited for the arrival of the so-called professionals.
It may be the boredom of waiting, or it may be curiosity, or it may be greed, which prompts Li Xiang that some people in their team are very interested in the four sarcophagus. Among them, the most concerned are Lao Song and Xiaohu, he is alone, and most of the money he makes is squandered. Although the reward is very rich, it is a life after all.
They encouraged everyone to say that they heard that a piece of blue and white porcelain is worth millions or even hundreds of millions, if there are one or two pieces in this coffin, and they sell it themselves, they can wash their hands and go home to care for the elderly in the future, why bother to live such a precarious life.
Other people actually mean the same thing, but Li Xiang, who still has a bit of professional ethics, did not agree, and he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
But he didn't prohibit other people from doing this kind of thing, in fact, to put it bluntly, Li Xiang acquiesced, which means that when you let others do it, don't call him, he doesn't know anything, this is self-deception.
Therefore, Lao Song, Xiao Hu, plus Junzi and Ah Huan, the four of them entered the tomb that night and prepared to open the coffin.
And Li Xiangdang didn't know what to do, so he went to sleep with his head covered. And the rest stayed on it to answer.
In a daze, Li Xiang suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot, and immediately picked up the gun and rushed out. When Li thought of the entrance of the tomb, Junzi and Ah Huan were climbing up, and there were shouts and curses from Lao Song and Xiaohu below, as well as the sound of rapid rifle fire.
They are all friends of life and death, and they instinctively want to go down to save people, but Junzi and Ah Huan hold the others. They say that there is something underneath and is not afraid of bullets.
Li Xiang insisted on going on, but in the middle of the argument, he heard two screams, and the gunfire stopped, and then fell into a deathly silence. In the end, Li thought that they still went down, but they saw nothing but blood all over the ground.
Li Xiang asked Junzi and Ah Huan what they saw. But they also couldn't say what they saw, they just said that there was something, that thing was silent, and they were not afraid that bullets would kill. When asked if it had come out of the coffin, they shook their heads and said no.
This is very strange, all sides of the tomb have been examined, and no entrance has been found, so there can be no other burial chamber, and it did not come out of the coffin, so it can only come out of thin air, but this is impossible.
Li Xiang and they checked all night, but they didn't find anything, and finally they could only tell Yang Zizhong, of course, they concealed the fact that the coffin was opened. After Yang Zizhong learned about it, he was silent for a long time, and finally gave an order, telling Li Xiang that they must keep this secret and not let future generations know.
Li Xiang and they finally agreed, and after experiencing that incident, Junzi and Ah Huan both fell into a neurotic state, and they were irritable every day, constantly saying that there was something below and they wanted revenge.
Originally, Li Xiang planned to leave directly and not continue to do this, because the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt about it. But Junzi and Ah Huan didn't agree to live or die, and the others didn't want the money they got to fly like that, so they continued to stay until Victoria and I arrived.
Originally, when we arrived, we didn't need to think about them, they could have completed and retreated, or waited for us on it. But Yang Zizhong added an extra two million, saying that it was a settling-in fee for Lao Song and Xiaohu, and asked Li Xiang that they must follow us to spy on us, and Li Xiang finally agreed.
When he came down today, Li Xiang wanted Junzi and Ah Huan to stay on it, but they insisted on coming down, so Li Xiang had to take them with him and let Shao Qi and Zhihui stay on it.
"That's all we've been through, and if you think we're hiding something, don't believe it." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he lowered his head and smoked a cigarette and stopped talking.
I observed that Li Xiang had already smoked three cigarettes after saying these words, and the pain and uneasiness he showed when he spoke could not be seen to be made up.
In fact, in my opinion, there is no need for Li Xiang to make up these things, because it is not good for him, and the reason why he hid us from us before was just to listen to Yang Zizhong's words. In addition, his previous unnatural performance can be explained.
But for the Junzi and Ah Huan he said, I didn't see anything unusual at all, and I was about to ask what was going on.
Victoria nodded and said, "Then it's no problem, otherwise there is no way to explain the bloodstains here!" ”
I was shocked by Victoria's calmness, she didn't seem to worry about the unknown killer monster in the slightest, and she didn't seem to worry about being trapped here.
Now that I've said that, there's no need to be sabre-rattling, and I want everyone to put their guns down, after all, they're pointing at my head with a gun now.
However, before I could speak, the rough man said first, the big man was Lao Cai, the one who was crying was a knife, and it was Shui Rising who stood behind Li Xiang as a diehard.
Lao Cai said in a rough voice: "Now you also know, the gun can be put down, let's think about how to get out, anyway, Lao Tzu won't do it, no matter how much money you give, Lao Tzu won't do it!" ”
Victoria waved her hand, and the beauties took the lead in putting away their guns, showing a very atmospheric and bold performance, not like a girl at all. Of course, Lao Cai, who later collected the gun, looked a little ungentlemanly.
I think that since we are all together, and the situation is confusing now, it is better to unite. At any time, disunity can lead to problems. So in order to play the round, I coughed lightly, and then asked with a pretentious gesture: "Since everyone is on the same page, let's think about how to get out!" I think there are so many of us, and we all have sapper shovels, we can dig the earth with our hands and dig another passage. At the same time, the people left behind above will also notify Boss Yang to save us. ”
After saying that, I took out the folding sapper shovel from my backpack and waved it a few times, with an expression of eagerness to try and do a big job.
However, before I finished my handsome move, I heard Victoria say coldly: "You want to dig, you go and dig, we have to continue!" ”
"Go on? What do you mean? I asked, surprised.
"Open the coffin!" Victoria accentuated the words and uttered these two words that shocked all the gentlemen present.
