Chapter 12: More Puzzles
Bai Ling, Lin Xian and the others entered the entrance of the altar, and then came to the front hall, the front hall is now empty, it is quite dark, everyone is holding weapons, turning on the flashlight at the lower end of the weapon, the muzzle and light are aimed at the stone door in the back hall, they know that as long as they step on the floor of the back hall, they will trigger the mechanism and open the stone door.
And what about behind the stone gate? It's that whole bunch of red ants!
"Let's try it first, the torches and lighters are ready." Lin instantly turned his head to Li Yu behind him and said, after Li Yu nodded, he immediately took out the torch that had been prepared a long time ago, the torch was rolled with cloth and poured gasoline, as long as there was fire, it could be burned immediately.
Lin Xian looked at the brothers around him again and said, "I'll go down and try it first to see if those ants are still there." ”
"Lao Lin, I'd better go." One of the team members stepped forward and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, leave me where I am." Lin Xian said sternly, and then walked directly into the back hall with a gun, this team member had no choice but to raise his gun and aim at the stone door like everyone else to provide cover for Lin Xian.
And Lin Xian, slowly stepping on the stone steps, stepped into the back hall. When Lin Xuan's feet completely stepped into the back hall, the floor of the back hall immediately lowered, and then, the entire stone door began to make a continuous sound.
It should be that the mechanism is activating.
After waiting for a while, the stone gate finally began to rise, and at this moment, everyone's attention rose to the highest. One by one, the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the slowly rising crack of the stone door, and Li Yu held the torches and lighters in his hands tightly, ready to ignite at any time.
But.....
The stone gate slowly rose, getting higher and higher, but everyone did not find the red ants, until the stone gate completely rose, and did not find it.
Inside the entire stone gate, in addition to the traces of the fire and the residue after the fire, only the bullet holes that were punched by the bullets in and around the stone gate were left, and there were many corpses of red ants. Other than these, there was nothing else in the stone gate.
"Stay vigilant and move forward." Lin said instantly, and as a result, everyone also tensed their nerves and walked down the steps with guns and entered the back hall. Bai Ling also clenched the submachine gun in his hand, and couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Lin Xian held a ZH-05 assault rifle, walked in the front, and when he walked into the stone gate and entered the corner of the stone wall, he immediately turned around and pointed the gun at the front However, under the light of the flashlight, there was nothing wrong with the front.
Lin Instant advanced with a gun, and soon walked out of the narrow stone wall passage, and everyone also walked out. It was even darker than the front and back halls, and although they had flashlights, the brightness of the flashlights was still a little insufficient.
"Lighting sticks." Lin Xian just said this, and then, several people took out the equipment from the backpack behind them, it was a glow stick that had been transformed by the Tomb Breaking Alliance, and they held it in their hands, and the stick immediately began to emit a strong light, the brightness was very strong, and several of them together illuminated the surroundings at once.
After lighting up the surroundings, everyone finally saw the situation, and at present, they were in a place similar to a tomb, and in front of the tomb, there was a corner. is a stone slab on the left side.
One of the members, armed with a rifle, looked around and wondered, "Isn't this an underground ruin?" Why does it look so much like a tomb? ”
"It's very similar, it's weird." Another person beside him echoed, and Lin Xuan, who was at the front, turned his head to look at the people behind him and said, "It's strange here, we'd better find Uncle Chen and them quickly." ”
After Lin Xian finished speaking, he thought for a moment, and then immediately said: "Ye Xinran, Huo Gui, Li He, the three of you and I will take the lead together, Lu Xingfeng, Cheng Hao, the two of you are behind the palace, and the others are in the middle to serve as support, pay attention to the surrounding situation." ”
"Yes." Everyone spoke in unison, and the voice was softer.
"Bai Ling." Lin Xuan looked at Bai Ling again at this time.
"Huh?"
"Adjust your breathing and don't let yourself get too nervous." Lin Yan said with concern, and after Bai Ling heard this, he also nodded "um". Seeing this, Lin instantly looked ahead again, didn't say anything, and advanced with a gun, and everyone followed wordlessly.
The team soon reached the corner step and began to move downward.
The stairs are not very long, and after walking a dozen steps, you will go down, and when you reach the flat ground, there is a huge space, and a very large stone door, and ..... The cold air churning on the ground and around it.
The environment here was very cold, Bai Ling couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Strange, why is it so cold here?" ”
"Sort of, indeed." Lin instantly nodded in agreement, and then his gaze was on the huge stone door directly in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Counting the entrance to the altar and the back hall, this should be the third door, right?" Strange, why are there so many doors here? ”
Huh?
When Lin Xian's perspective shifted, he found that there seemed to be something on the left and right sides of the stone gate, so he immediately looked at a team member with a lighting stick in his hand and shouted, "Liu Fan, come and help me illuminate." ”
"Okay." Liu Fan, a member of the group, nodded, and then the two of them immediately walked to the right of the stone gate, followed by the other members. They walked to the stone gate and found that on the ground on the right, there was actually another corpse!
This corpse is very similar to the corpse found before, except that this corpse died even worse, and the flesh on its body seemed to be hazy from being bitten by something. The hands and feet of the body seem to have been torn apart by something, missing arms and legs. What's even more terrifying is that there is nothing left on the face of this corpse except bones.
"Hmm." Bai Ling covered his mouth, the appearance of this corpse was too scary. The other member on the side also frowned, looked at Lin Xian strangely, and said, "What's going on, is he also a member of the previous group?" ”
Lin Xian looked at the corpse with sharp eyes, the clothes of this corpse were also torn several holes, and several pieces of cloth were missing, but the pocket on the chest of the shirt was fine, Lin Instant carried the gun on his back, stretched out his hands, and slowly took out his documents from the pocket of this corpse.
The certificate shows: He Yubai, male, born on March 22, 1990, a third-level explorer, directly under the T11 team, and the position is an explorer of the group.
When he saw the group under his direct control, Lin instantly turned his head to look at the people around him and said, "Yes, he is a member of the previous group." ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but they were not surprised, and Li Yu also asked directly: "Lao Lin, what's going on, why do the members of the previous team seem to be dying worse than the other." ”
"Don't say it, it seems to be true." Li He, who was beside him, echoed.
And Bai Ling, thoughtfully, seemed to think of something, and then said: "They are indeed getting worse and worse, but ..... The more miserable it is, the closer it seems to be to the ruins, right? ”
Everyone was shocked after listening to Bai Ling's words, and then thought about it again, it seemed that this was indeed the case. Sun Hao, who was first found in the desert, was at least a whole corpse, and then the corpse encountered in the ruins of the ancient town and the entrance to the altar was already bitten and fleshy.
Now He Yubai is not only blurred in flesh and blood, but also lacks arms and legs.
"It must have been the ants who did it." Lin Xian squatted on one knee in front of the corpse and said this, and everyone didn't say anything, but in their hearts, they all agreed.
From the dead state of the corpse and the red ant colony encountered in the back hall, it is not difficult to analyze that these members should have been gnawed like this by those red ants. However, when everyone thought about this, they soon discovered another problem.
What about the red ants?
In the back hall, those red ants can be said to be impossible to fight, and now, they have all come here, but those red ants seem to have disappeared, and none of them are alive, what is going on?
The death of the members, this riddle, Bai Ling and they have already got the answer, but just solved a riddle, and what awaits them are more and more puzzles.
Bai Ling, who had just become an intern member, really felt physically and mentally exhausted......
