Chapter 35: Mechanism Puzzle Solving
I told Boss Bi about this, especially the food is more tight, there are only three meals left, this is still to save food, if you come to the standard to stick to one meal. Boss Bi told me not to worry about these things, and only when I was full did I have the strength to work, so I simply ate them all.
We took out the compressed biscuits and canned beef, leaving Wang Ziyue alone, and ate the rest. Wang Ziyue didn't know what was going on, and she still hadn't woken up. Boss Bi looked at it and said that it might be a slight concussion, but it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
After eating the last stored food, we continued to walk forward, the route was narrow to wide, the humidity around was getting heavier and heavier, and Boss Bi said that there must be an underground lake in the volcano.
Then we came to a large place, which can no longer be described as a corridor, and there is enough space for six or seven large trucks. "Look at that," Boss Bi's flashlight shone over there, "this is another door." ”
When I looked over there, it was indeed another stone door, and although I couldn't see it clearly, it probably looked similar to the previous one. I turned around apprehensively, but the wall behind me didn't appear.
"What are you doing? Where are we? Wang Ziyue, who was on my back, said suddenly. I was overjoyed, and quickly put her down and asked, "How is it?" Is your head better? ”
Wang Ziyue nodded, but it still didn't look very good, and she still needed to rest for a while. Boss Bi threw the flashlight to me, I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'll take the lead first, and you will get on after I pass through it in a while." ”
Saying that, Boss Bi rushed up with an arrow step, and I couldn't stop it, but I only heard a heavy loud sound of "bell", and Boss Bi was bounced away, lying on the ground and rolling all over the ground in pain.
I couldn't straighten up with a smile, ran over to help Boss Bi and jokingly said, "Brother Bi, why are you in a hurry!" Can the baby run away if it's there? Even if there's a team in front of you, that's your share. ”
"What do you know, there will always be a few treasure connoisseurs around you who come out to do this business, and all the good things are taken by the family, and we can only have some crooked melons and cracked dates left." Boss Bi smacked hard, "How can I be so lucky with your brother Bi." ”
"This door...... No," Wang Ziyue said, "No, you see there are a few pillars here. This should be a trap. ”
I looked over, and then I found that there were several pillars where Wang Ziyue was leaning, and there were stone sculptures on the pillars. We hurriedly gathered around, and Boss Bi touched the pillar with his hand and nodded to us: "It's still like that, four dragons with only eyes." ”
"Can't we see it?" I said impatiently, "Something else." ”
"Oh yes, this thing moves."
We looked at each other and fell silent. There's no guarantee of what these traps do, maybe they're the ones that open the door, or maybe they'll shoot some sharp arrows and drop a few boulders and kill us all. Boss Bi and I are severely disabled patients in the tomb, and the only powerful Wang Ziyue is injured.
I slapped myself to sober myself up, this is not the time to be afraid, people can't always hesitate for uncertain things, that is really a waste of snacks. "Fuck it, I don't believe he can make any trouble."
Boss Bi nodded, placing his hands on the dragon statue. Wang Ziyue protected himself with a bag, and I took Boss Bi's pistol in my hand, ready to defend against unknown enemies.
"It's coming!" Boss Bi yelled, and the statue spun abruptly. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Boss Bi rolled and shrank on the ground; I flashed to the side, pointing my gun around.
Yet nothing happened, and there was nothing around but our nervous panting. "It's dramatic." After making sure it was okay, I put down my gun and replied coldly.
"Don't say anything," Boss Bi began to scold his mother angrily, and took out the explosives from his bag, "This builder is sick, and he always plays with us, so that they can see how advanced the technology of the juniors is." ”
"No, it's going to collapse." Wang Ziyue said.
I grabbed Boss Bi: "You are too violent, this tomb is not reliable if it is built in a volcano, if you blow up the structure is unstable, it will definitely collapse, there is always another way to get out." ”
Boss Bi thought about it, and said, "Brother Du, it's all up to you, the little genius of the escape room." ”
I told them not to panic and to observe the situation around them before making a judgment. I picked up my flashlight and walked to the stone door, tiptoeing to look. Only then did I realize that I had been wrong to think that this door was the same as what I had seen before, and that there was no nine-winged celestial dragon on it at all, but a sacrificial round platform was drawn. On the altar knelt a circle of people, all of them with expressive eyes, and rough horses in other places.
But there's also a very strange place on it, where a little figure is drawn doing something, and for some reason, I always feel familiar.
I held up the flashlight to see that the position of the little figure was very prominent, the drawing was larger than the others, and it was standing in the center of the altar. Suddenly scared me into a cold sweat, that villain seems to be me! I've been to this altar before, and the reason why I didn't remember it at once was because I saw it when I was hallucinating.
"What's wrong?" When they saw that I was pale, they asked.
I waved my hand and said it was okay, I didn't want to tell them about it so early, lest they think too much. I secretly said to myself that this person may not be me, but I am scaring myself. There's no need to talk about this kind of nonsense, it will only seem that I am too hypocritical.
"Here!" I said, "It's written here, it's called ...... Four directions are directions, and the same direction is different. ”
This sentence is very simple, even a literary scumbag like me can understand it, maybe the builders didn't want to stop us at all. Boss Bi and I turned the four faucets to the same position and stood there waiting.
At that time, we were also careless, and I felt that what was written on the door should be correct, so when the floor under my feet suddenly emptied, I was defenseless and fell down. The builder made a huge joke, or rather, all the mechanisms in his building were jokes, completely out of the ordinary.
"Bang dang", "Oops! ”
All three of them fell to the ground, and they remembered the rustling sound. As soon as Boss Bi came together, he scolded and scolded the builder's entire family. Wang Ziyue came out of nowhere and hit me headbutt.
"Are you alright......"
"Anti-theft sand! Anti-theft sand! Wang Ziyue's voice trembled, and I picked up the flashlight on the ground to see that a large amount of sand was spit out from the mouth of a carved dragon on it. That's why the builders were so afraid of the intruders. Anti-theft sand is the best anti-theft mechanism, even if the times have progressed, a few of us can not face a few tons, dozens of tons of sand on the body.
"Don't panic, don't panic!" I yelled, "Panic and we're done." "Boss Bi lit a cold firework (burning stick), I don't know if it is related to old age, when it is the most dangerous, Boss Bi suddenly calmed down, and then put forward some constructive suggestions, let us out of danger.
According to Boss Bi's command, we turned on the few flashlights we had and shone them all to the ceiling. The gap we fell from was gone, it was supposed to be something like that trapdoor design that could be flipped over, and it reset after we fell.
The feeling of disappointment spread all over my body, and I was already hopeless, if it was some kind of hell, weird, I could still handle it, and the worst thing I could do was to escape. And now we're facing a cold slate, and now there's a feeling of fear enveloping me, which is a little bit wrong, something that doesn't feel right.
I looked at Wang Ziyue beside me, she was shaking and panting, as if this dark room was starved of oxygen. I suddenly understood that it was not a matter of guts, but of the heart.
"You have claustrophobia?" I grabbed Wang Ziyue's shoulders and let her lean into my arms. I also have it, but it's not obvious, not as serious as hers. Wang Ziyue nodded and said, "Look at the walls around you, if there is any looseness."
After looking for a long time, there was nothing around, so we had to give up. "It's not over yet!" I screamed, flicked my backpack and pulled out the explosives. By this point, even though we were standing on the other side of the room, the sand was up to our knees. At this time, no matter what explosion danger is, it is better than suffocating here. This is a technical work, reducing the powder of explosives to the right dose, we are not experts, we can only follow our intuition.
"Prepare for the explosion!" Boss Bi shouted, Wang Ziyue and I both buried our bodies in the sand and used the sand to slow down the impact. I only heard a bang, the power was beyond my imagination, and the air pressure formed by the small space pressed me into it again. It felt like it was almost there, and I just got out of the sand, and it was still dusty outside.
Boss Bi and Wang Ziyue also came out from there, and he shook his head: "Damn! Luckily I had a long fuse, otherwise I would have hung up. ”
"Don't talk about that, did it blow up?"
We looked over, and there was a hole in the stone wall over there, and we didn't want to stay here for a long time, so we quickly got through the hole and came to the other side.
