Chapter 17: The Maniac Expert Who Died Tragically
I was in a bright white, my mind was empty, and I couldn't hear anything in my ears.
After some time, the whiteness of my eyes began to darken, began to shrink, and finally became a crack in the door, standing not far from me.
I finally felt again and could hear again.
Slowly reaching out to the side, I felt the thick ash, and the hard, cold stone under the dust......
No! It's not a stone, it's a dry bone!
I was lying next to a high pile of bones, unable to tell whether what I was seeing and feeling was a hallucination or not.
I heard a "click" sound coming from outside the crack in the door, and I could faintly hear the strange shrill laughter and Shen Dali's angry scolding.
Supporting myself on my elbows, I carefully got up, looked around, and by the faint light I was in a carriage pit. I shook my heavy head and moved my limbs a few times to make sure that my whole body was just aching and that it was okay, and then I walked towards the crack in the door.
I walked slowly, nervously, and worried that something unexpected might happen.
Luckily, I made it all the way to the crack in the door, and I was unharmed.
I slipped sideways through the crack in the door and found myself back in the space where the terracotta warriors were.
The hallucinations must have been gone, otherwise I wouldn't have seen stiff figurines turning and moving.
At the entrance of the passage in the distance, Shen Dali was still immersed in hallucinations, but he was obviously tired, his movements were incoherent, and his steps began to stagger.
I was about to walk to Shen Dali's side, but I was startled by the sudden piercing scream.
I turned my head to look at the tall stone platform in the center and was surprised to see that the insane expert was already standing on it, grinning as he climbed onto the huge statue.
The stairs of the stone platform are obviously full of mechanisms, how did he get there? Why did he climb on top of that statue? He's crazy, isn't he?
I don't have the heart to care about the expert's life or death right now, I have to hurry up and wake Shen Dali, otherwise he will definitely be exhausted to death.
But at this moment, a sudden terrible scream drowned out all the sounds here, and this scream was made by the madman expert.
I instinctively turned my head to look, and the bloody images I saw strongly stimulated my already tired body, causing me to return to stomach acid, and almost vomited the overnight meal on the spot.
The position of the giant stone figurine's chest had opened at some point, and several spears were spewed out, directly through the body of the mad expert, and picked it up.
The madman seemed to be in great pain, grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands, kicked his legs desperately, and opened his mouth to speak, but as soon as his mouth opened a slit, thick blood burst out.
He seemed to see me, struggled to turn to my side, stretched out a hand to me with difficulty, vomited all the blood, and shouted "help me" hoarsely, and then his body went limp, and he hung his head and died.
I looked at the lunatic expert's dangling corpse hanging from the tip of his gun, staring at the dripping blood, and the look in his mind that had just begged me for help.
Thinking back to the previous image, I can be sure that he had just come to his senses, just before he was about to die.
I was short of breath, my hands were on my chest, and I twisted my head to the side, unable to look at it again.
I wanted to take down the expert's body and take it out, but I couldn't protect myself, so I could only silently say sorry and continue to walk towards Shen Dali's side.
But at that moment, I heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other, followed by a crisp "pop", and then the light that illuminated the place suddenly went out, and my surroundings returned to darkness.
Almost at the same time, the figurines stopped moving and turning, and the surroundings suddenly became silent, in stark contrast to the previous noise.
I hurriedly stood against the wall, not daring to move, for fear that I would touch some mechanism and take my life for nothing.
"Fifth brother...... Fifth Brother ......"
I don't know how long it took for me to hear Shen Dali calling out to me.
I hurriedly responded loudly and reported my location.
"Five...... Fifth brother, wait for me. ”
Shen Dali was obviously extremely tired, and he was panting very hard when he spoke.
It didn't take long for me to see a beam of light light light up, and I heard a crisp sound of "pop" in my ears, and I knew that Shen Dali had lit the wolf's eye flashlight.
I was depressed at the thought of the flashlight, and I didn't see anything decent for a long time after I entered the tomb, and I lost two flashlights from my hands.
Just thinking about it, Shen Dali had already found me.
He lit the path under my feet and shouted at me in a suppressed voice: "Fifth brother, come over against the wall, it's okay, pay attention to see if there are any bugs......"
When it comes to bugs, I only feel half cold.
It wasn't because the unnamed bug could hallucinate people, but through the appearance of the bug, I realized that we were still a long way from the main burial chamber of this underground palace.
As far as I know, in ancient times, people with great status and status, in order to prevent the tomb where they lived after death from being destroyed by insects, they usually set up worm breakers around the main tomb.
Since I've encountered bugs here, it means we haven't touched the core of the main burial chamber.
I've thought of it so much out of professional habit, but I really don't have any thoughts about this necropolis anymore.
I have only one thought now, and that is to get these brothers of mine out of here alive.
I rubbed against the wall for a long time, and finally returned to Shen Dali's side and stood at the entrance of the passage.
Shen Dali lowered his voice in annoyance and said to me, "Fifth brother, it's really fucking evil here. I'm just figuring out now that I'm being cheated by that bug. I really thought you were dead just now, and I thought I would leave you a whole corpse......"
I hurriedly interrupted: "I said vigorously, if you don't know how to speak, you don't say a few words, you always say so ugly." This is my acquaintance with you and my understanding of you. A different person will definitely fight you. ”
Shen Dali also seemed to realize that what he said was wrong, and immediately shut up and stopped talking.
"Alright, let's go up quickly. I hope that Zhao Lao's side is okay. ”
After speaking, Shen Dali and I climbed the climbing rope and walked up, and almost fell into the trap halfway to return to the carriage pit.
However, on the way up, I found a lost wolf-eye flashlight, which was more or less a good sign.
However, after Shen Dali and I walked out of the passage with difficulty, we were surprised to see Zhao Lao squatting next to Liu Fatzi, without a gas mask on his head, holding Fatman Liu's head with his head down, kissing Fatman Liu's mouth.
This scene frightened Shen Dali and I into stupefiing, and we were stunned in place and at a loss.
I even wondered if what I was seeing was still my hallucination.
Zhao Lao raised his head at this time, saw me and Shen Dali, hurriedly picked up the gas mask from the side and put it back on, and said to the two of us anxiously: "Little Fifth Brother, Shen Dali, it's really good that you two are back." Come and see Fat Liu, he doesn't seem to be able to do it, and I can't do artificial respiration for him. ”
After hearing this, my brain exploded with a "buzz", and I almost fainted on the spot.
