Chapter 11: The Sacrificial Tomb

"What about the female newcomer?" Zhang Cheng asked in the chain of his mind. Because when I came down from the tunnel, all my attention was on the cave. So at this time, he found out that there was no newcomer Dong Ruirui in the crowd.

"She didn't come down." Fu Shuai, the last of the Zhongzhou team, said.

"Why?"

She ...... She said she was afraid of heights. Don't dare to come down."

"What.. Why don't you convince her." Zhang Cheng's tone was a little excited. Dong Ruirui obviously hasn't seen the movie "Alien vs. Predator". In the original episode, the drilling team left on the ground was attacked by three Predators. No life is still alive. In other words, to remain on the ground is to die. And depending on the time. It is likely that they have now been brutally slaughtered by three Predators.

"I persuaded. But she refused to come down. And there were other plot characters around me at that time. It's not convenient for me to say too much. So ......"

"The world of reincarnation is not a kindergarten. We don't have to take care of every new person. This dead end is her own choice. I can't complain about others. In fact, this kind of newcomer is not even necessary to persuade him. Let her fend for herself. Surviving will drag down the Middle-earth team." He Chuli's cold words unceremoniously interrupted Fu Shuai and continued to explain to Zhang Cheng. In her opinion, even Fu Shuai's persuasion was superfluous.

Zhang Cheng did not refute He Chuli's words. Truly. Not everyone is fit in this world. Maybe dying early would be a relief for them. It's just that He Chuli's indifferent attitude towards life made Zhang Cheng feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Cheng felt that Fu Shuai's tone just now seemed to be a little too heavy. So he said, "I'm not blaming you. I just ......"

"I understand. Brother Zhang Cheng." Fu Shuai didn't blame Zhang Cheng. Because he knows. Zhang Cheng hopes that everyone can live. If it is Fu Shuai or other senior people who are in danger. Zhang Cheng will definitely go back and rescue them without hesitation. It is this sense of responsibility of Zhang Cheng. It will make the Middle-earth players feel at ease because they have such a captain. However, Zhang Cheng is indeed too emotional sometimes. Look through his attitude just now. Zhang Cheng has not changed because of the lessons learned in the previous horror films.

The expedition continued. Soon. Walk through the spacious vestibule hallway. The crowd came to an entrance. Raul walked over to a stone pillar next to the entrance. Use your hands to brush off the dust and cobwebs on it. The carved text symbols on the stone pillars are clearly visible.

"Thomas. What is this?" Raul pointed to the words on the stone pillar. I'm going to test my assistant.

"I know. This is a symbol of the Egyptians. The second ......" Raul's assistant Thomas struggles to remember what he has learned. But I can't remember it for a while.

"The second symbol is of the Aztecs. The era before the conquest of England. The third is Cambodian." Raul added.

"Then you're right. The pyramid does contain three cultures." Raul's previous speculation seems to be correct. So Weyland was glad to have the archaeologist on the expedition.

Select ...... Enter...... Those who are selected can enter." Raul's assistant Thomas tries to translate the meaning of the above symbols from his memory.

Thomas was able to translate the above symbols. This surprised Raul a little. He asked, "Who taught you how to translate?"

"Interesting. It looks like it's you." It seems that Zhu Zhechi's proverb is really correct. Thomas who was around Raul. He is also a good archaeologist.

"Wow. But it's not 'selected'.' Only those who are chosen will be allowed to enter'." Raul corrected an error in Thomas's translation. After speaking, he walked towards the entrance.

Walk through the narrow entrance. The expedition team entered a circular room. More than a dozen flashlights illuminate the room. At this time, the crowd found seven stone beds in the center of the room. Seven stone beds resemble flower petals around a circular object on the ground in the middle that resembles a sewer manhole cover. It can be seen from the hollowed-out carving. The graphics of the sewer manhole cover are very similar to those of the special-shaped.

On each stone bed lay a withered corpse. Head towards the center. There is a deep circular hole in the outer part of the stone bed. Just the size of a shaped hatchling.

"What are these?"

"It's the burial chamber of the victims." For Raul, who has a wealth of archaeological knowledge. He had seen many of these burial chambers used for sacrifices.

"Probably all Aztecs and Egyptians. The man who built this pyramid. All believe in religious sacrifices. This is where the chosen ones make sacrifices for the religion." Raul's assistant Thomas speculated. Obviously, the symbol on the stone pillar at the entrance was translated by him as the approximate meaning. It made him happy.

Raul approached the corpse on the stone bed to take a closer look. Then he said, "Those who have been chosen are lying here. They are not tied in any way. They died voluntarily. Men and women. It's an honor."

Looking at these corpses that kind of look like mummies. Woods shook his head and sighed, "Lucky man."

The crowd continued to examine the chamber. In addition to the corpses on the stone bed. On the walls of the burial chamber are also hung skulls with a small spine attached. Miller, a chemist, seems to be interested in these skulls. And just as he was taking a closer look at the skulls. From the direction of the entrance that just came in. There was a long scream. Miller looked back in horror at the entrance he had just entered. And Woods on the side also looked around. Trying to find the source of the sound.

The sound died down quickly. Miller said to Woods self-deprecatingly, "It could be someone else going through the tunnel." Because before when he walked through the tunnel himself. I almost screamed nervously.

Hear this voice. The expressions of Zhang Cheng and the others became solemn. They remember this scene from the movie vividly. The voice was the drill captain Quinn on the ground trying to escape the Predator. but accidentally fell out of the tunnel and made a sound. It's a pity though. The Predator who passed through the tunnel did not spare Quinn, who had already fallen out of the tunnel and broken his leg. The best drill captain in the world still didn't escape the fate of death after all. Zhang Cheng and the others are not worried about Quinn at this time. It's because the sound indicates that the Predator has gone underground. Soon there will be an encounter with the expedition. But until then. The first thing the expedition team faced was the alien hatchlings that were in dire need of the mother.
