Chapter 105: Breaking through
Oil lamps hung on the walls on both sides of the passage, and white fires fluttered in the lamps, illuminating the passage very brightly.
Ah Hu died heroically, and everyone stood in the passage, all silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Xu Ming sat on the ground against the wall, his eyes glazed, and after a long time, he trembled and said, "...... I...... I ...... "When Xu Ming first entered the ancient ruins, he looked down on these two soldiers, but he didn't expect that it was Ah Hu who sacrificed his life to save him at the critical moment, and although he survived, Ah Hu would never come back.
Zhuzi's face was red, his tiger eyes were full of tears, and he said, "If I rushed back just now, I should be able to rescue Brother Hu." Nanyang gently patted him on the shoulder, walked up to Xu Ming, and said, "Mr. Xu, is your foot seriously injured?" ”
Xu Ming raised his head and said nervously, "...... It's okay...... It should be a sprain...... I...... It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have tripped ......."
Nanyang said: "Mr. Xu, don't think about it, it's an accident." Ah Hu has completed the task he should complete, he is a soldier, it is his job and responsibility to protect you, it has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself. We still have our own work to be done, you must work hard, don't be discouraged, we have to find Liu Sheng's burial place next. ”
Zhou De's expression was solemn, his eyes were full of grief, and he said regretfully: "...... What a good lad! His mind seemed to go back to decades ago, remembering the selfless dedication to the motherland in that era. Qiu Tian's expression was a little lost, and he remained silent. Gao Qin's eyes were already red, but she was lonely, so she couldn't hold back her crying and stood in the corner, not wanting people to see her crying.
Xu Ming barely stood up, his face was covered with cold sweat in pain, and his right foot still didn't dare to touch the ground. Nanyang looked at Xu Ming's ankle and said, "Let me see." Nanyang checked, Xu Ming's right foot was suddenly pulled by the big worm with a tentacle during the full run, and he was pulled strongly, causing his ankle joint to be injured, but fortunately, the bone was fine.
Nanyang said: "Bear with me, I'll pinch it for you." Dealing with this kind of joint tension injury is no problem for Nanyang, he pinched Xu Ming's right foot hard, Xu Ming gritted his teeth, heard a "click", and the dislocated muscles and bones of the ankle were reset by Nanyang. Xu Ming's face was covered with sweat, and he twisted his right foot slightly, so that he could walk slowly.
Nanyang said, "You take a rest first." He saw that the stone door had been closed, and he could no longer hear the sound in the stone room, and this passage was safe for the time being. Everyone sat on the ground to rest, from the Hall of Eternal Life to the hell of life, everyone was in danger, they were already exhausted, and the instinct to survive has been supporting everyone to keep getting out of danger.
Everyone drank some water, ate some food, and sorted out what was left of their equipment: the ammunition was almost exhausted, there were more than twenty rounds of ammunition left for the submachine guns, and the bullets for the pistols were already in the single digits. Because Ah Hu died in the stone chamber, the heavy professional tools and supply equipment he brought were lost in the stone chamber. There was still a little water and food left, and the flashlight was very sturdy, but two of them broke in a series of fights, and the batteries were running out. The pillar's backpack still had some first-aid supplies in it, but all other emergency items such as white gasoline had been used up. In other words, the crowd now only has more than 20 bullets, a few daggers, and the power of flashlights and other electrical devices will not last long. If the flashlight runs out, you won't even be able to get a torch. Under these unfavorable conditions, we don't know how far we can go.
Nanyang held the ancient sword in his hand, this jet-black sword handed down from ancient times has now become the best weapon, and the golden armor is also extraordinary, but it is a pity that it is covered on the head of the big insect, and it is dragged by the big insect, and there is no chance to bring it out again, otherwise it is also a good piece of armor, and it can be worn by experts in times of crisis.
Gao Qin looked at his watch, since everyone came down from the ground and entered the ancient ruins, they have experienced a series of dangers, and they have spent more than ten hours in the ancient ruins now. Everyone is thinking: this expedition, I thought it was an ordinary investigation, but little by little into a desperate situation, experienced countless strange and terrifying things, I thought this was an ordinary ancient ruins, how do you know that the mystery is getting bigger and bigger, it turned out to be the imperial mausoleum built by the Southern Han Emperor Liu Shengxiuxian, and there are more and more unbelievable things to see, and everyone is getting closer and closer to the truth, but they don't know where the front is.
Everyone thought that the construction of this ancient site was bizarre and mysterious, and it was full of mysterious power, which everyone had never heard of or seen in their lives. If it weren't for the extraordinary skills of everyone and the modern weapons and equipment, researcher Qiu Tian's ability was no less than that of outstanding soldiers such as Nanyang, Ah Hu and Zhuzi, and this expedition team might not have been able to reach this place alive. If a tomb robber discovers this ancient tomb in ancient times, even if the prince and general bring troops to rob the tomb, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties!
Moreover, there was a thought in everyone's mind: why the corpses in the ancient ruins did not age, where did the huge energy required to activate the mechanism come from, why there were those mysterious spontaneous combustion fires, and what were the various terrifying ghosts that came back from the dead...... Even the ancient gods of the "Worm" are used to guard the door, all of this is gradually pointing out one thing, isn't this an ancient tomb, that Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, can really feather and ascend to immortal? !
Nanyang looked at the situation in the passage, which was made of white and smooth white marble, and looked peaceful and quiet under the white firelight in the lamp. The walls are carved with pieces of wall carvings, on which fairies are flying, auspicious clouds are fluttering, and the shape is elegant and serene, as if you have arrived in a fairyland, contrary to the dark and terrifying atmosphere of the previous place. Nanyang's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhou De: "Master Zhou, do you think we have already broken through the 'birth hell'?!" ”
Zhou De also kept observing the surrounding environment, nodded, and said, "Well, I think we have passed the test of 'Birth Hell' and finally reached the deepest part of the ancient ruins. ”
At this time, Qiu Tian said: "I think the place we are in should be at the bottom of the ancient ruins. ”
Gao Qin said: "Mr. Xiao said that the results of geological exploration this ancient site is a huge spherical shape, if we recall the route, location, roughly scrutinized, should be able to determine the direction." After discussing it for a while, it was generally certain that the current location seemed to be directly below the spherical ancient ruins, but the direction here was difficult to discern, and the terrain of each part was complex, making it difficult to make accurate inferences.
After everyone rested, Nanyang saw that the passage was very long, but the light was bright, so he moved along the passage. The mural pattern on both sides has always been like this, depicting Qionglou Yuyu and fairy dance.
