Chapter 64: Search I
After entering the cracks in the cave wall, combined with the electronic map, the speed of travel along the way is very fast. The more than 30 SWAT officers were very professional, and there was basically no other communication except for passing orders, and all of them were nervously hurrying away.
About two hours later, a group of more than 30 people had arrived at the cave where the fat man had trampled on the cave. The rope tied by Liu Rumei is still there, but there are two more next to it, it seems that it should be left by Qiao Er's group.
I called Team Leader Li aside and studied the map with him, and found that this cave of the collapse was not on the map, but Qiao Er's gang should have gone down from here.
I asked, "What to do?" ”
Team Leader Li thought for a while and said: "There is no fork in the road on the map, it is always going down, I think either the cave that collapsed is a dead end, or it is converging with the cave on the map somewhere." ”
"Hmm." I agreed with him and nodded.
He continued: "But in any case, in order to prevent omissions, it is now necessary to separate some people to continue along the cave while others go down from here." ”
I hesitated and said, "Uh...... But there is only one copy of this map. ”
Team Leader Li looked at the tablet in my hand, and then said, "It's okay, we don't have the software, but the effect should be the same when you take a few more photos with your mobile phone." ”
"Uh-huh." I'm a little ashamed that I only have one map, so I forgot the function of taking pictures with my phone. It turns out that the effect of taking pictures on the mobile phone is not bad, and after the map on the tablet is changed from a few more angles, the path can be clearly distinguished on the photo.
Leader Li was very efficient, and he quickly arranged for a small group of people to split up, while the rest continued to enter the caves of the collapse to track.
"Huh?" When I came to the cave again, I didn't see the "Dome" again, the original place where the "Dome" was placed was empty, and I scanned the ground with a flashlight, and found some very small fragments on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Team Leader Li found out and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
I pointed to the place where the "Dome" had been placed, and gestured to him, "Here, there used to be such a big amber dome, but now it is gone, and there seem to be more fragments on the ground." ”
Team Leader Li frowned after hearing this, and then he briefly analyzed: "With such a large amber, tomb robbers should not let it go, but it is not easy to carry it due to its large size." If they had taken the sheep with them on the way back, no matter how heavy the things were, it would have been reasonable to carry them with them, but now that they were still in the hole, they probably wouldn't be carrying such a heavy burden around. The only possibility is that this "Dome" was damaged by them, and the fragments on the ground may be part of the "Dome". ”
Hearing his analysis, I couldn't help frowning, stepped forward, leaned down and pinched up a piece of shards with my gloved hands. The fragment was not big, the size of a coin, thicker than a coin, and there seemed to be some slime on one side of the fragment, but it was not much, and it was ticked a few points down. I felt a little nauseous, and hurriedly threw away the shards in my hand and rubbed the slime on my gloves on the ground.
A novel thought popped into my mind, could it be that this "giant egg" was not made of amber as we had thought it was, but like an egg, it had a shell wrapped in liquid inside? Thinking of this, I continued to sweep the debris on the ground with the flashlight, and sure enough, I found some more slime, but the amount was not very large, if the "dome" was full of liquid, there should be more than that.
Of course, this is not the focus of our attention, we came in this time mainly to arrest criminals and rescue Wen Xianbao, irrelevant things are curious, and we have to continue to do business after curiosity. So we didn't linger too much because of these debris on the ground, and after a brief exchange, we continued on our way.
Further along is the gap that I poked with the fat man, the gap between the cypress trees is still the same, and as I passed, a small amount of mucus was found on the cypress wood on one side, and I think it should be Qiao Er's gang accidentally rubbed on it.
Out of that door, it was the same passage we had walked through, and several of the holes that had been sealed in the walls of the cave on both sides had been opened. Leader Li sent someone in to check, and it was basically the same as the hole we had just passed through, and there was nothing new to discover.
We didn't stay long, we continued on our way, and just as we were about to reach the huge cave where the clay jar was kept, the warrior who was walking in front suddenly made a discovery.
"Report to Team Lee, a body was found......"
Team Leader Li and I hurriedly went over to check and ordered everyone to stand by.
"This ......"
The corpse lay reclining in the middle of the road, swollen and unclothed, its belly exposed. The man's skin was an unnatural black, as if the black was coming out of it. Looking at the man's swollen and hideous face, the strange thing is that there are no whites and pupils in his wide eye sockets, but they are black like the skin.
Team Leader Li and I didn't speak, quietly watching the scene in front of us, both thinking about the cause of this person's death. A warrior approached to examine the corpse, and he leaned down and reached out to flip through the corpse's clothes. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over me, and I hurried out to stop him.
"Don't move!"
The warrior was startled by my shout and hurriedly withdrew his hand. The moment he withdrew his hand, I saw the eyes of the dead corpse on the ground suddenly move.
"Look, there's something pouring out of the corpse's eyes!"
"What's that?"
"It's not like a bloody ......"
"It's a bug, a black bug!"
There was a noise among the warriors beside them, talking about the corpse and the bugs. At that moment, I noticed that the black worms were pouring out of the corpse's eye sockets at an accelerated rate, some of them had begun to emerge from the mouth and nose, and the ground near the corpse's head was gradually crawling with the black worms.
"Stand back!" I suddenly felt a fear in my heart, and hurriedly called out to the fighters in front of me: "Stand back! Fast! ”
The warriors didn't know what was happening, and they didn't retreat, but they all looked back at me. In a hurry, I hurriedly took two steps forward and reached out to quickly pull back the soldiers who were still stunned.
At this moment, the corpse suddenly swelled up, and the exposed black skin was completely transparent, and the black worms surging under the skin were clearly visible.
"Poof!"
The corpse's skin burst open, and as the skin burst, the black worms poured out of the corpse like a tidal wave and began to spread in all directions.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this scene, no one made a sound, and no one moved half a step, just stared blankly as the black worms spread everywhere.
These bugs don't come out sooner or later, but they just come out at this time, and I think there must be some reason for this. Combined with the scene of seeing this insect for the first time before, I suddenly understood the key to it, and hurriedly shouted: "This insect is afraid of light, don't look at those insects, look at our own feet!" ”
After I finished shouting, the whole team didn't react, but Leader Li on the side reacted quickly, and he hurriedly ordered: "Keep the team lit without dead ends, don't shine on those bugs, quickly!" ”
Leader Li's words worked, and it was not a loss to the well-trained armed police force, more than 20 strong flashlights were immediately held high and shone downward, and more than 20 people immediately seemed to be standing under the shadowless lights of the hospital, and the light was bright without dead ends.
Because I was standing on the edge of the front, I could still see the situation near the dead body. When we changed the lighting, the bugs that had been running towards the crowd suddenly froze, and then changed direction. The black worms poured into the darkness in the distance, and in less than a minute, they disappeared cleanly.
"Hey...... It worked. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's that?" Team Leader Li asked.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but I've come across it in the cave, and I guess this thing must be afraid of light." ”
"Then you guessed it." Team Leader Li said calmly, and then used a strong flashlight to shine on the dead body not far in front of him.
"Huh!" Team Leader Li sighed lightly.
I also looked over there, and the swollen corpse had now become a white skeleton, and if it weren't for the clothes on his body, no one would have thought that this was a man who had just died.
"Stay on guard and search around!" Team Leader Li didn't say anything about the skeleton, nor did he say anything to me, but vigilantly swept the surrounding darkness with a bright flashlight.
When everyone heard the order, they immediately took action, and used strong flashlights to strafe back and forth, illuminating the entire cave. It's just that, except for the skeleton on the ground, nothing has been found, and those black worms like a tide have disappeared without a trace.
After confirming the surrounding environment, Team Leader Li continued to order: "Report the number!" ”
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
……
After reporting the numbers, Team Leader Li began to speak: "Comrades, you have also seen the situation just now, there is an unknown danger in this hole, I hope you will work hard and complete the task quickly and safely......"
After Team Leader Li finished speaking, he came over again and asked me if I had anything to add. I shone a flashlight in front of me, and not far in front of me was the big cave with many clay jars, and I didn't know if I would encounter those blood-sucking insects when I went down.
After thinking about it, he said, "Team Li, further along, there is a very huge cave, and I have encountered a lot of flying insects in it before, and this kind of insect can suck blood. ”
Team Leader Li frowned.
I continued, "Wrap up your bare skin, and if you spray a little insect repellent on your body, I think it will work." ”
When I say this, I mainly think of the fake Wen Xianbao at that time, he can stand in the pile of insects without being bitten, he must have used a means of insect repellent, although I don't know what he used at the time, but I think even if it is a flower water to repel mosquitoes, it should have some effect.
"Okay, I got it." Team Leader Li nodded, and then began to give orders: "Everyone wear masks, put on gloves, and spray insect repellent water on their bodies." ”
"Roger!"
……
After doing this, we rounded the skeleton and moved on.
