Chapter 158: Absolute Silence
(October 15) countdown to the 76th day
Yao Xiaoyi moved the old man to the hall, only to see that the old man's chest and abdomen were sifted by dense bullets, and he could hardly find a good place. The old man walked extremely peacefully, Yao Xiaoyi understood that the old man really regarded himself as a relative of Mr. Tang Ji, and exchanged his life for Yao Xiaoyi to survive, so as to apologize to Mr. Tang's family of three.
It's just that this price is too heavy for him, and it is too heavy for Yao Xiaoyi.
Yao Xiaoyi had stopped her tears and placed the old man flat on the ground next to the sarcophagus. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the dead people in the sarcophagus, even if the old man was guilty, he used himself
The life is completely redeemed.
I was thinking about what to do next, and there was a prompt sound on my mobile phone, and I clicked on the video, and there was a new movement in a surveillance video installed on the top of the mountain, and there were seven or eight figures carrying weapons in the picture, climbing to the top of the mountain, and moving quickly to the northeast.
It's early in the morning, and the video is only imaged through infrared rays, so it's hard to see the specific face of the figure, but judging from the outfit and weapons they carry, this group should be the same group of people as the eight killers who were found here a few hours ago.
Based on the speed of the group's travel, and thinking of the time it took for the eight people to find this place before, Yao Xiaoyi deduced that the group could catch up here within four or five hours.
Yao Xiaoyi switched the video to the wooden building, and was even more surprised. Video time shows as many as twenty heavily armed killers quickly bypassing the wooden building, quickly burrowing into the bottom of the mountain along the path behind the wooden building. When I arrived at the wooden building, I didn't make any stops, and the goal was clear, pointing straight to the back mountain.
Looking at the time, these twenty people appeared in the frame two hours ago.
At five or six o'clock yesterday afternoon, the first eight killers arrived at the wooden building, and the soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain in multiple ways, one of the cameras on the top of the mountain recorded the picture of two of them passing, and when it was almost 12 o'clock in the night, two people were the first to find this location, and in the fierce battle with Yao Xiaoyi, the other six killers arrived one after another.
Two hours ago, at about one o'clock in the morning, twenty more killers rushed to Shuimu Town and went straight to the back mountain. Obviously, they were notified by the eight previous killers to rush to reinforcements. After the twenty killers entered the back mountain, they were still divided into multiple ways, and seven or eight of them appeared in the surveillance footage.
What surprised Yao Xiaoyi even more was that it only took two hours for these seven or eight people to get from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, far exceeding the normal climbing speed. At this rate, her estimated arrival time would have to be brought forward.
What to do?
If she returns the way she came, she will have time to retreat to the top of the mountain, but this will surely lead to the danger of being rounded up by twenty professional killers. If you stick to this secret passage, the consequences are unimaginable, the entrance of the secret passage and the two stone doors have been blown open, the killer can drive straight in, although there is still a door of life and death, but the two killers who entered the door of life and death before were transferred out will inevitably inform the secret of the door of life and death, which means that this door of life and death has also become a decoration, and in the end she will also face being surrounded by the killer in this area of less than 100 square meters.
The only option is the sarcophagus. According to the old man Tang Ji in his suicide note, through the secret passage at the bottom of the sarcophagus, you can reach the exit on the edge of the cliff, and you can jump into the river surface one zhang high. Although it was night, I couldn't see the river clearly, and I didn't know what was waiting for me in front of me, but it was a road at all, and it was better than sitting here and waiting for death.
Having made up her mind, she planned to get up and return to the secret passage to retrieve the arrow shot at the killer, but she didn't expect her feet to go limp, and she fell to the ground, and her left leg was painful.
Xu is old man Liu Hui suddenly sacrificed his life to save her, and then found that twelve killers were chasing after her, and she diverted her attention, and then she remembered that she had been shot in the left leg.
The bullet flew from the front and hit the inside side of the left thigh, staying inside the muscle. The muscular nerve tissue on this side was extremely rich, and only then did she feel the pain becoming more and more sharp, her thighs trembled uncontrollably and violently, and dense beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She leaned against the sarcophagus, and after a moment, she endured the sharp pain and bandaged her thigh, allowing the bullet to remain inside.
Circumstances did not allow her to do any more stops. She struggled to her feet, supported by her bow and crossbow, and slowly folded her left leg back along the passage. The future is unknown, and she needs to retrieve the arrows left on the killer's body and fire six arrows, hitting six people, which is also more than she expected.
It took only an hour for her to retrieve the six arrows she had shot one by one, and together with the two that had not been fired, a total of eight arrows were put into the holster.
She retreated to the sarcophagus position in the hall again, looked in the direction of the bookshelf, thought about it, moved to the bookshelf, activated the mechanism again, took out the copper box, put away the map, and sealed it with the plastic bag of the book.
Moving back to the sarcophagus, she pushed the lid of the coffin, but the heavy lid did not move. This was beyond her expectations, the old man Tang Ji did not mention the method of opening the pipe lid in his suicide note, she took it for granted that it was enough to push it.
She tried harder, and the lid was as solid as a rock.
Where is the way to open? She looked around Thursday and saw that the furnishings were carved out of solid rock in one piece, and she couldn't even find anything that could be moved.
She carefully looked around the sarcophagus and found nothing abnormal, then touched the four walls of the sarcophagus with her hands, and found that the surface was finely polished, smooth and flat, and then looked at the coffin lid, it was still the same.
Boom!
There was a prompt sound on the mobile phone again, and when I clicked on it, I was shocked again. One after the other, the two killers pass through the second stone gate that was blown up and appear in the frame.
How can it be? No matter how fast the second group of twenty killers is, it is impossible to chase them down in one hour.
Then she thought of the possibility that the two killers who had previously passed through the Shengmen might have been transferred to a nearby location by the mechanism, and the two killers had returned to the secret passage. Zooming in and looking closely, she almost confirmed her guess.
Right now, the stone gate was destroyed, the secret of the door of life and death no longer existed, and the two killers were unimpeded all the way, and in less than half an hour, they could push open the wooden door and appear in front of her eyes.
It's not that she doesn't have the confidence to fight these two killers to the death, but she is worried about the upcoming twenty killers.
Where is it? Where is it?
Anxious, she dragged one leg around the hall, trying to find a clue to open the lid, but had no clue.
Looking at the video screen again, the two killers have come to the door of life and death, and are about to push the door in.
Her heart tightened, and she temporarily gave up looking for a way to open it, went around the back of the sarcophagus, and used the tall sarcophagus to cover herself, while the bow and crossbow were already on the arrow, waiting to fight the enemy again.
By this time, she had heard the sound coming from the descending passage, and the killer was approaching.
Having lost the support of the crossbow, his left leg was forced to exert force, and his left leg was again in a piercing pain, and blood gushed out of the wound of the gun, soaked through the bandages, and dripped on the ground drop by drop.
She lowered her head and froze.
Block!
Xu was too anxious just now, only looking at the sarcophagus, ignoring the ground that should not be ignored. At this point, the blood dripped down and happened to drop on a palm-sized piece of wood!
There is no endless road.
She leaned over to wipe the bloodstains, accurately found the letters V, L, E, and C on the wooden block, used both hands together, activated the mechanism, and the coffin lid slowly opened. While waiting, she had already packed her backpack.
At this moment, a dense burst of bullets came and pierced through the wooden door.
Yao Xiaoyi didn't dare to think about it, so she dodged into the sarcophagus, but when she saw that the two well-preserved corpses were separated from the left and right, just to make a gap for her whereabouts.
The moment the lid of the coffin was closed, I heard the wooden door slam open, and a dense stream of bullets shot towards the sarcophagus.
At the same time, the two bodies were quickly returned to their original places, while she herself was still missing.
As she fell, she felt faster and faster.
She closed her eyes and waited for the moment when she rushed out of the cliff and jumped into the water.
However, her body did not take off, and a sudden current of water completely submerged her.
