Chapter 259: Passage
The group followed Long Yan around and walked to an empty semi-enclosed stone room.
Countless checkered stone slabs could be seen on the ground, and Long Yan did not move forward in a straight line, but went around in a roundabout way. Everyone knew that there must be a mechanism here, so they didn't ask much, just followed.
There was no passage ahead, and Long Yan rotated a mechanism in a hidden place at the bottom of a stone wall, and then the stone wall roared and slowly lifted.
Don't have a cave!
The bright light shines through from the other side, making it a little difficult for people with night vision goggles to adapt to the darkness to open their eyes.
Along with the light, there is also a group of zongzi that smell the smell of living people and rush up!
There were hundreds of them, dressed in gray old-style armor and wielding swords, and at first glance they looked like they had traveled from ancient times en masse!
Long Yan was very surprised. The corpses in the tomb were carried out a few years ago and placed in a certain research institute, and now they all appear here, and they have become zongzi, and they must have done something by the nobles.
"Using artificial means to achieve the goal, I'm afraid it's using the zombie virus......" Yi Chen thought that the body strengthening agent developed by Yan Huang could stimulate human potential, and it could also continue life at a critical moment, and felt that this possibility was very high.
However, it is indeed difficult to explain that the cells of people who have been dead for so many years can still be activated and "cheat corpses", and their appearance has actually returned to the same as living people.
If this is the case, it seems that this zombie virus is indeed a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it can be achieved to create a superhuman team or an army of the dead. However, the ancients whose lives have ended have been pulled out as battle pawns, I don't know what kind of existence they are?
In the blink of an eye, everyone has already handed over their hands with zongzi.
Long Yan set fire, the snow froze, and Chang Qing's eyes emitted rays, opening holes in the front chest and head of the zongzi.
Liang Bing gave Ling Zhe and Mu Qing relevant hints, letting the two of them stay in the relative safety of the rear. Although Ling Zhe also wanted to participate in the battle, there was no place for him to intervene now.
Zhou Ying was with them, the enemy was in a scuffle, and the distance could not be widened, so it was inconvenient for him to use the space-time force field, so as not to affect his own people within the range.
In order to control the strength and be careful, Yi Chen didn't even use his sword, so he went directly empty-handed. He rushed into the enemy lines, mercilessly snapping their necks and smashing their heads with punches. It is enough to leave one experimental specimen for Yan Huang, and it is useless to have more.
In less than a minute, almost all of the 100-odd zongzi fell to the ground, the remains of broken limbs, pieces of flesh and armor flew all over the sky, and the corpses were stacked in black pressure.
Bang - a heavy helmet flew into the stone chamber and landed on a certain square stone slab, the stone slab suddenly sank, and the roar above everyone's heads was like muffled thunder, and it came one after another!
"Oh no, the trap has been triggered!" Long Yan realized that something was wrong, it was the sound of the rolling stones!
According to their previous archaeological investigation, they knew that the place where this tomb was connected to the reservoir had a secret passage at the top, which stored large pieces of rocks.
This is separated from the reservoir by a stone wall, and now the stone wall has also been opened, if the rolling stones fall, the shock impact is likely to collapse here, and it is likely to cause successive reactions, and the reservoir may not be able to be saved!
"Stop the stones!" Long Yan shouted. But he immediately felt ridiculous.
It's too late, how can this be stopped? Who has such a quick response? Who knows where the stones fell from and how to stop them?
In the next second, Long Yan was stunned.
Seven or eight large stone balls two or three meters long were suspended in the air, and the scene was terrifying.
Zhou Ying activated the space-time force field at the critical moment, making everything in the stone room stand still. He got the message from Liang Bing and prepared before Long Yan shouted.
Long Yan glanced at Zhou Ying a few times. He knew this person, although he had never come into contact with him, but he remembered the appearance and scar features.
Zhou Ying is a member of the Fengyun Alliance, and now he is a member of the Pioneer Alliance, obeying Yi Chen's command and dispatch, which he has not heard of before.
A person with special abilities like Zhou Ying was hostile to Yi Chen before, and he was actually taken in...... Just how attractive is this new league for the Trail Blazers? Long Yan couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about Yi Chen and his team.
Zhou Ying fixed the stones, and Xue Man soon took over, she was forming several layers of ice to make a step-like buffer, and cooperated with Zhou Ying to let the stones fall to the ground little by little.
This may seem like a simple job, but it's actually extremely physically demanding. The two of them were tired after they were busy, but fortunately, the dumplings were cleaned up, and now there is no more situation, so they can rest for a while.
Leaving the open space where the rice dumplings gathered, there is a long tubular passage in front of you, which connects to the reservoir.
"Why is there no one guarding such an important place?" Yi Chen frowned.
"The guards are usually at the front and back entrances of the reservoir, and usually no one comes from the tomb. Moreover, there are many ancient tomb organs, and there are few people who know how to get there, so who will find this trouble. Long Yan said.
There is some truth to his words, but they are not unusual now. Since the nobles already know that someone has invaded the territory, they should strengthen their defenses in special places anyway...... They can be so relieved of this place, not because they are nervous, but because they are confident.
Skimming off those zongzi, I'm afraid there are still strange things.
Long Yan was about to continue walking, but was stopped by Yi Chen.
"Chang Qing, take a good look at the safety around you." Yi Chen commanded.
Long Yan is familiar with the ancient tomb and knows the way, but there are many things that are not under his control, and he should be careful in everything.
Chang Qing looked at it with perspective and said, "Behind the pipe wall...... It's all metal electrodes and circuits. ”
Yi Chen's mind moved, under normal circumstances, who would install these things in a passage pipe? I'm afraid this passage is not that simple.
He casually picked up the corpses of a few zongzi and threw them over, and sure enough, multiple lasers suddenly shot out from the wall of the passage, and immediately cut those corpses into slices of meat!
Everyone was startled and speechless for a while.
The effect of the laser is very strong! Not to mention the human body, even steel can be cut like tofu!
And the speed of that beam is not something that people can handle, and it is impossible to dodge at all. If they had just walked up unguarded, they would have gone to another world by now.
Long Yan swallowed, realizing that he had just brushed shoulders with death. I really didn't expect that Yi Chen, a teenager, was more cautious than him, an adult in his thirties.
"Zhou Ying, can your space-time force field work?" Yi Chen turned his head and asked.
“…… I'm afraid not. Zhou Ying shook his head. His ability only brings objects to rest within a certain radius, and the laser is no longer among them.
"Then we have to find a way to destroy the main control power here and cut off this defense system." Yi Chen pondered for a moment and said.
