Chapter 29: Underground Caves
Xiao Jin died, he didn't know which way the door of the thousand-year-old tomb was opened, and he had already turned into a corpse in the Sharp Knife Gorge, which made us feel very uncomfortable.
There were still a few comrades in the scientific expedition team who were guarding the equipment and did not come down, I don't know what they would think when they learned that Xiao Jin, who had been joking with everyone a moment ago, had become a corpse.
Chen Yun's eyes were red, and he touched it and said, "Professor, Xiao Jin died in the line of duty, we can't let him sink to the bottom of the river, let's find a cloth to wrap it up first, right?" ’
Professor Yang took out the windproof lighter, shook off the water stains vigorously, lit it several times in a row, and turned around and said Old stalk, don't you have incense and candles on you, can you borrow me first?
The second master didn't argue with him this time, put his hand into a tightly tied plastic bag, took out a pillar and handed it to Professor Yang.
Professor Yang lit incense and candles, inserted them in front of the corpse, bowed, and said Xiaojin, you go well, you are contributing to the cause of national scientific research, and you will die a glorious and well-deserved death, I will definitely declare to the organization when I go back, and let them give you the treatment of martyrs......
I thought it was a little funny, so I turned my head to the side, this Professor Yang is really enough, everyone is cold, no matter how much you feed it, you can't save it, and being named a "martyr" is a barren use?
When I turned around, I happened to see Zhong Quan wiping the rifle on his hand, there were several plastic bags beside him, which were full of engine oil, Zhong Quan had already removed all the rifle parts, and he was wiping it quietly with a wolf-eye flashlight on his head.
I was in distress twice before, and I almost swallowed the water monster in one bite, but Zhong Quan helped me, I saw this and walked up, squatted beside him, and picked up a black cloth to help.
"Don't move......" Zhong Quan stopped me, shook his head and said, this old guy has been with me for more than ten years, only I know its temper and character, just now I fired a shot in the water, the chamber and the machine bracket have entered the water, we must deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to blow up the chamber next time!
Ge Zhuang said with a bitter face, brother, why didn't you fire more machine guns just now, how good is it to kill that thing underwater?
Zhong Quan glanced at him, "It seems that you don't know how to pick up firearms at all, rifles can't work underwater, the resistance of the water flow will make the bullet deflect the trajectory and accidentally injure your companions, so many comrades, I was also forced to shoot this shot helplessly, and the shot will enter the water, and there is no way to fire continuously." ”
Ge Zhuang said that you are carrying such a big lump of iron, and you can't become scrap iron?
Zhong Quan said that the cloth gun can't be waterproof, but the lethality on the shore is so great that you can't think of it, this gun has been with me for more than ten years, and the one who has followed me to the battlefield is closer than the five girls, don't talk nonsense!
I knew that Zhong Quan didn't like to joke, so I quickly asked Ge Zhuang to stop and thanked him.
Zhong Quan loaded the rifle movement into the barrel, shook his head and said no, the task I received is to protect the comrades in the scientific expedition team and be responsible for guarding your safety, which is my duty.
I said you saved me no matter what, I owe you a drink, let's find a place after we go out, I'll pay for it, you let go of your belly and drink, okay?
When Zhong Quan laughed, he showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said Okay, let's go out!
He patted me on the shoulder, and I took Ge Zhuang back to help Chen Yun collect the corpse, Ge Zhuang squeezed his eyebrows at me, and whispered Little pumpkin, you are tall, our team, one of the people surnamed Zhong is carrying an iron lump, you please him, and our safety will also have an extra layer of security.
I said don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to hear it, I really admire this person Lao Zhong, in that situation just now, besides you and him, who else is willing to sacrifice himself to save me?
Ge Zhuang nodded, "That's the reason, this old guy is righteous enough, he is a real person, let's not give him a whole life!" ”
We separated the two waterproof plastic bags with military thorns, found wires to tie the bags together, and reluctantly wrapped Xiao Jin's body inside, Xiao King Kong was swallowed by the blunt newt, although the water monster was frightened and vomited out, but I carefully examined the corpse, and found that Xiao Jin's skin was dry, his stomach was a little deflated, and a lot of water in his body was lost.
This shows that the newt swallows people into their stomachs, not using the strong acid of gastric juice to melt food, but using a way of absorbing and extracting water and fat from the human body.
My guess was confirmed by Chen Yun, who said that the newt was originally a tropical fish, and some people in the flower and bird market kept it as a pet, which was very valuable.
Ge Zhuang shrunk his neck and said that there are still people who raise this, and they are not afraid of seeing the sky and become a dry corpse?
After collecting the corpse, I clapped my hands and sat down, and saw that the second master and Professor Yang were both holding searchlights, and kept groping on the stone wall behind them, as if they were looking for something, and I began to seriously look at the surrounding environment.
The place where we are now belongs to a natural karst cave, the middle is flat outside, the annular stone wall is arc-shaped, there are many stalactites hanging in the cracks of the rock wall, which have been formed for at least a thousand years, and the water vapor in the waterhole is transpiring, all condensed at the top of the cliff, forming a lot of small water droplets like raindrops, "ticking and ticking" along the stalactites to fall.
The cave is about half a football field the size, in addition to the deep water pool at the foot, it is the pitted stone crack, there is not even a place to put down the foot, sit for a long time and the ass is hurt by the stone, there is a ring-shaped boulder in the middle section, five or six meters square, like a raised hideous wolf head, high pry out of the water, there is a fault in the middle of the stone, after the pool water washing, the middle collapsed a piece, it looks like a wolf's grinning mouth, particularly hideous.
I thought of some information, fourteen years ago, my grandfather mobilized the villagers to open the mountain, and the underground undercurrent that was blown up should be parallel to the Sharp Knife Gorge, and the place we are at the moment should be a meeting point parallel to the underground undercurrent and the turbulent wind slope, and there will be a tunnel under this undercurrent, winding upward, but I don't know where it will lead, whether it can dive into the tomb along the waterway.
The second master and Professor Yang were both circling along the stone wall, and they didn't have time to take care of us, so I said to Ge Zhuang in my heart, and it happened that Chen Yun heard our conversation, so he interjected and said,
"Your guess is not unreasonable, we originally thought that if we opened the underwater hole, we would be able to enter the ancient tomb smoothly, who would have thought that this place is actually a closed karst cave, the cave is surrounded by mountain walls, it is not so easy to get through, maybe we can only continue to walk the waterway to go down the tomb."
Ge Zhuang stretched a big fat face, and said Comrade beauty, let's not talk about going to the tomb, don't forget that there is a big shark under our feet, this thing eats people, one mouth, you can't shoot when you get into the water, how can we get in?
Chen Yun said that it was not a shark, didn't you listen to Professor Yang and the second master just now, it was a blunt-mouthed newt.
Ge Zhuang scolded and said, "Fuck the balls, I don't care if it's a shark or a blunt newt, in short, this thing can swallow people, right?" Xiao Jin walked around the Five Organs Temple, and when he came out, he turned into a dry corpse, if you are not afraid of death, go into the water! ”
I said fatty, don't be so rude when you speak, Chen Yun is a lesbian!
The dead fat man pouted with thick lips, and said that you are distressed?
