Chapter 46: Three Gates
Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo put one hand on the stainless steel handle, and their five fingers were together to hold the handle. Zhao Aiguo was holding back his luck, and when he was about to pull the door out with great force, Pang Weimin came over and whispered a few words to him, and Zhao Aiguo was happy when he heard it:
"Weimin, you're too bad, but I like it, haha!"
The whispers of the two and the burst of laughter of Zhao Aiguo made the others a little confused. Han Dong hugged his arms, pursed his lips, and snorted coldly with disdain, these two little eggs are nervous, they can't be pulled away, they can't be pulled away, what kind of elephant is pretending.
"One, two, three, open!"
Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo shouted, and both of them pushed out the stainless steel door, but before they could use their strength to eat, they heard the stainless steel door creak and crack, and it rumbled open!
A rotten smell immediately rushed out of it, and the students who got closer hurriedly stepped back and covered their mouths and noses with their clothes.
They are all professional archaeologists, and they have even smelled corpses, so they are not particularly sensitive to this. On the contrary, it was Li Ping and the others who were almost vomited by this strange smell.
After Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo opened the stainless steel door, they immediately took a few steps back. This is one of the contents that Pang Weimin just told Zhao Aiguo. The situation behind the stainless steel door was unknown, and they could not risk standing directly in front of the door.
"Yo yo, the little eggs are really pulling away. No, you're pulling away from the side. How do you know that the door can be slid open sideways, not pushed outward? ”
Han Dong was indeed a little surprised, he never expected Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo to open the door lightly, let alone that the door didn't need to be forcibly pulled out at all, and the side pull was done.
"Look at the details in everything. Before you pulled the door, I thought it would take a lot of force to push it open, but when you pushed it so creaky that it wouldn't open, I wondered if there was something wrong with it. ”
So our Wei Min found that the corner of the stainless steel door was a little misplaced, and he knew that this was the result of your vigorous application, which showed that the door was not pulled directly outward. If it were, you'd have done it a long time ago, haha. ”
Zhao Aiguo whispered Pang Weimin's words, causing Huang Jiawei to laugh more than once. In fact, Pang Weimin wanted to open the door alone after seeing the dislocation, but considering that after so many years, maybe the door was rusty and difficult to pull, so he took Zhao Aiguo with him.
"Margobi, if you know it, you won't say anything, so that the labor and capital have been begging for a long time, and the little egg is not beaten!"
Han Dong was indeed a little annoyed, he and Da Niu were like idiots for a long time, this kid was actually watching the play with his head covered, he glared at Pang Weimin fiercely, shook his fist and said.
"Okay, classmate Wei Min uses his brain, you use your hands and feet, can you compare?" Professor Wang saw that the stainless steel was open at this time, and he was bent on going in, where could Han Dong show off his muscles here could delay his time.
At this time, everyone's attention was on the open stainless steel door, and the swarthy space, as if it was a black hole full of possibilities, fascinated them.
No one noticed a black shadow floating on the sand dunes next to the bunker, and then the black shadow slid down the sand pit along the corner of the sand pit behind the crowd, and cowered in the corner of the sand pit as if it had never appeared.
The only people who spotted the black shadow were the camels in the bunker, but unfortunately they couldn't speak, and only snorted a few times before remaining silent.
"Professor Wang, are we going to go in right away?" Pang Weimin asked when he saw Professor Wang covering his nose at the swarthy entrance and looking in.
"Don't worry, Bahar, you go and get the small box." Professor Wang shook his head, turned to Bahar, and the latter answered, quickly climbing the rope up the bunker.
Ten minutes later, a small wooden box appeared in front of Professor Wang.
"Han Dong, take out a small cage and roll in to see how the reaction is."
After Professor Wang finished speaking, Han Dong had already taken out a small round iron cage from the wooden box, uncovered the cloth, and there were two mice inside. The two gray little guys scurried around after the iron cage cloth cover was lifted.
This cage is tied with a rope. Han Dong grabbed the small cage with five fingers, like throwing a leather ball, and gently rolled it into the swarthy passage.
There was silence, and everyone held their breath and stared at the swarthy passageway, pricking up their ears to listen for the movement.
"What are they doing here?" After Zhao Aiguo looked at this wave of copying, he lowered his voice and asked Pang Weimin.
"This is to probe the air inside, if there is a lack of oxygen inside, the rats will die or die, then they will not go in immediately, but wait outside for a day or two, and wait for the air inside and outside to have oxygen before entering."
Pang Weimin also saw this kind of actual copying scene for the first time, and the reason why he knew what was going on was because his father asked him to carry those things when he was young. These children, who didn't know what to say, slowly got fulfilled one by one in this archaeological activity.
Could it be that my father was also an archaeologist?
Ten minutes later.
Suddenly, there was a squeak of rats inside, which sounded extremely terrifying.
Professor Wang's face changed, and without his command, Han Dong had already quickly pulled back the rope and took the small round cage back. At this time, the rats inside kept jumping up and down, showing an extremely panicked look. Han Dong handed the rat cage to Professor Wang.
Professor Wang lifted the small cage and looked at the rat carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, the symptoms of this rat did not look like it was caused by a lack of oxygen, but as if it was frightened by something.
What could be in there to scare mice? Rats are dirty creatures underground, what is it that can scare them?
No matter what, as long as the air inside is fine, since you have come to Lop Nur and paid a painful price, even if there is a ghost this time, you have to go in and break in. Professor Wang thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He had to go in and take an adventure, and instead of bringing him rich cultural relics, the two tombs he found on his journey to the west this time had brought him two fresh disciples, and if he went back with a bead like this, he would obviously not be able to deal with it.
"Comrades, everyone is ready, everyone brings the necessary supplies, puts on their own backpacks, and we are ready to go on an adventure!" Professor Wang paused and continued:
"Everybody knows that this could be the day. My secret base may be a little dangerous, but in order to get from Japan. If I take back a possible artifact or something else, it's worth the risk even if we take some risks! Half an hour later, assemble the team! ”
Everyone began to retreat to the sand pit to clean up their luggage and supplies, no one knew how big the base was, maybe it would take a few days to walk, so they basically carried all the supplies on their backs.
Just as everyone returned to the sand pit, the black shadow huddled in the corner of the sand pit, who didn't know what it was, took the opportunity to quietly enter the dark space!
An hour later, everyone restocked with some food and returned to the bottom of the bunker. In order to keep an eye on the camel caravan and guard the entrance, Professor Wang asked him to stay alone on top of the bunker with a shotgun.
What shocked Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo again was that Da Niu took out a shotgun from the wooden box, and the caliber of this gun was even larger than Bahar's! Obediently, what the hell is the origin of this gang?
"Comrades, just in case, everyone should wear masks. We are professional archaeologists, we enter first, and Wei Min takes care of your classmates. I repeat that this base is an unknown world, so don't touch the things inside with your hands to avoid accidents. ”
After Professor Wang finished speaking, he put on his mask, Han Dong and Da Niu turned on the flashlight to play the front, and he, Xu Shan and two students followed. After Pang Weimin explained a few words to Zhao Aiguo, he walked to the front, he wanted to walk in front, and it was his business to find his father.
Li Ping and Du Juan followed the few people in front of them into the stainless steel gate, they looked a little nervous, and their hands holding the flashlight were a little trembling. Even if there is a burst of air convection, the smell in it is too unfriendly for the two girls.
Zhao Aiguo, Liu Xiangdong, Huang Jiawei and several students in the palace, all of them stepped into the dark space. More than a dozen flashlights pierced the underground space that had been silent for decades.
Ten meters after everyone entered, they suddenly heard a loud bang!
"What's going on?" Professor Wang heard the movement in front of him and immediately turned around and shouted.
"I'll go! Why did this stainless steel door close on its own? Let's go pull it apart! ”
Zhao Aiguo turned around and shone with a flashlight, and his hair suddenly stood on end. The stainless steel door that was pulled to the end by him and Pang Weimin was closed by itself at this time!
He froze, lit a few people with his flashlight, and led them to turn and open the door. In this dark place, if the door is closed, it means that there is no way out, which is unacceptable to everyone.
"It's a watch, why can't this door be pushed open sideways? What the hell is going on? I'll go, this door seems to be locked! ”
Zhao Aiguo's shocked and angry voice made everyone tremble, the door that can resist detonators was actually locked, and what is even worse is that the ten detonators are still in Bahar!
"Patriotic, what's wrong? Don't panic, take a closer look! Pang Weimin, who was walking in front, reminded Zhao Aiguo not to mess up because of panic.
"I look, Wei Min, this door should not have been locked when we opened it sideways, but now it is firmly locked, which means that someone deliberately closed the door from the inside! What did you all do just now, say! ”
After Zhao Aiguo observed with a flashlight, he was a little anxious, and at the same time he turned his eyes to the last few students who walked in.
"We're all together, no one is separated. Besides, we're inside, and we can't get out when the door is closed! A student knew that Zhao Aiguo was suspicious of them, so he hurriedly explained.
"Could it be, is there a ghost?" Huang Jiawei lost his voice when he heard this, and he almost cried.
"Hell, it's either the wind blowing, or someone is deliberately making trouble! We're going to figure it out, let's go! ”
When Zhao Aiguo heard Huang Jiawei say, he was also a little furious in his heart, but now that he has opened the bow and has no turning back, he must move forward, so he can't disturb everyone's hearts.
He knew very well how heavy the stainless steel door was, so it was definitely not blown by the wind, there must have been a "person" who closed it. Either the students of the archaeological team did it with ulterior motives, or there was something unclean in this space.
People die in the sky, and they die early and become immortals.
Zhao Aiguo put his heart sideways, didn't want this disturbing thing anymore, focused on observing the surrounding situation, and led people to follow Pang Weimin and the others in front of him.
Everyone walked slowly, and through the flashlight, it seemed to be a passage. The entire passage is semi-circular, and the ground and walls of the passage are paved with cement, which seems to be the standard pattern of the base, except that it is covered with the dust of time.
A number of wires were also found on the walls of the passage, which were neatly bandaged and led along the walls of the passage to the secluded front. There were old-fashioned lights at intervals above the walls of the passage, and the round bulbs were covered with dust.
There are also a lot of crooked Japanese characters on the walls of the passage, written in red paint, which looks a little creepy in this dark space.
These Japanese, through Li Ping's translation, are all slogans of the Japanese army, what is the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle or something, and Zhao Aiguo listened to it again and again.
Pang Weimin, who was walking in front, glanced around with the flashlight in his hand, and roughly calculated that the passage had already walked more than a thousand meters. And after walking a few long steps down, they are now estimated to have gone more than ten meters underground.
Day. Why did I build such a strange base under the desert? Besides, did my father really disappear here? Why did you walk for a long time and not see anything?
Pang Weimin quietly observed Professor Wang, and he was also a little puzzled, and from time to time asked Pang Weimin to take out the Yin Yang Fish Pendant to see if there were any other clues. Pang Weimin just said that the Yin Yang Fish Pendant only described the terrain outside, and the situation after entering it had little reference value.
Not really.
As he walked, Pang Weimin began to see some scattered debris on the ground, such as papers, military uniforms, and some cabinets. Some of these tin cabinets are open and some are closed, and the overall feeling is a bit messy.
In order to find out if there was any valuable information on these papers, Pang Weimin and Professor Wang stopped and waited for Li Ping in the back.
A few minutes later, Li Ping and the others also came over and were surprised to see these papers and iron cabinets.
"Li Ping, what do you mean by looking at these Japanese words?"
"It's like some code of base management, and there's nothing special about it."
Li Ping looked at the paper handed over by Pang Weimin, with some English katakana on it, all of which were rules of conduct that bound people.
Pang Weimin was disappointed for a while and had to move on. Further on, his flashlight shone on the door, another door. The door didn't seem to close tightly, but it creaked and opened a little. This abrupt sound was particularly harsh, and frightened the cuckoo to retreat again and again.
Suddenly!
"Help!" The cuckoo let out a terrible scream.
