Chapter 256: The Mausoleum
The borders of the aristocratic territories are all defended, but with Long Yan here, Yi Chen and they are not worried.
Long Yan led them to a relatively weak breakthrough, but he didn't expect that the troops on this side had increased several times compared to usual, and they were all ready to fight, as if they knew that someone was invading tonight.
Leaked the news? Yi Chen originally wanted to abandon the car and bring people into it unknowingly, but now this posture obviously can't do it.
I can't sneak in, so I have to break in head-on.
Yi Chen adjusted the plan in time and rearranged it.
Reaching a certain range, Zhou Ying activated the space-time force field, and Yi Chen followed closely and threw smoke bombs, pitiful for those guards who were caught off guard, they couldn't move when they reacted, and they couldn't see clearly, so they could only shout in a hurry, which had no effect.
The car drove in smoothly, Ling Zhe didn't dare to linger, and moved forward according to Long Yan's instructions.
The news of the break-in by outsiders will definitely spread quickly, they can hide for a while, but not for a long time, maybe the nobles will immediately start a search and encirclement.
Before reaching the destination, it is also good to reduce conflicts and save time and energy.
At night, there is no one in the streets. Xijing's power coverage is also limited, and it is pitch black at night, with only a few important buildings still electrified.
In the last days, ordinary people have developed the habit of resting at sunset, and no one comes out to hang out. At this time, if you go outside, if you run into an alliance patrol team, you are likely to be treated as a spy, who will cause that trouble?
The intrusion of outsiders alarmed the noble alliance, and the hundred members were divided into ten groups and searched the nearest area under their jurisdiction.
Yi Chen and the others encountered two teams, but Zhou Ying reused the old trick alone, using the space-time force field to deal with it, and without a clash of swords and guns, they threw people away.
Of course, after their whereabouts were revealed, more and more alliance members came one after another.
Sensing the crowd gathering, everyone was not impatient. Long Yan is quite familiar with the environment, and specially directs the path to pick the corners, Xijing is surrounded by mountains, and in the territory of the Noble Alliance, it is even more surrounded by mountains and rivers, many roads are straight up and down, and some passages only allow one car to pass through, which makes Ling Zhe practice some skills and is very addicted. Of course, the faces of the others are not very good, and before the war has started, everyone is about to be turned upside down!
Gradually, the pursuers were thrown away again, and they lost their target again.
"The entrance to the reservoir is almost there, and there is still a kilometer to go. The car in front is not easy to walk. Long Yan said. Just now, he didn't blindly command just to get out, and he was just going around to his destination.
Ahead is the foot of Bird Mountain.
Yi Chen asked Ling Zhe to park the car in an open place, everyone got out of the car with their equipment, and they had to walk over behind.
On the way, Yi Chen had already made a trade-off and decided to go to the reservoir first and retrieve all the samples.
The mission was sent by Yan Huang and Su Rui together, Yan Huang wanted to retrieve the stolen precious samples, and Su Rui did not have specific requirements, but just asked Yi Chen and them to investigate and find out what the hell was the foreign organization behind the nobles.
He is now in the aristocratic territory, and it is impossible for him to report to the two bosses in everything. How to arrange it is up to him.
A task is real, a task is virtual, of course, Yi Chen is to complete it first. When retrieving the sample, you will definitely encounter some people or things, and you may be able to learn some information!
At the foot of the mountain, there is a craggy rubble, and there are a mess of man-made barricades, blocking the entrance to a black stone cave.
Yi Chen couldn't help but question: "Where is this?" ”
"The entrance."
"Reservoir entrance? It's not like ah......"
"This is the entrance to the mausoleum." Long Yan corrected.
"What are we doing here?" Mu Qing felt that the mountain wind was forested, and she couldn't help but clench her arms.
"The reservoir is connected to the ancient mausoleum complex, you should have known about it in advance. The entrance to the reservoir has a sturdy three-tiered steel gate, all of which are electronic locks, and you can't enter without knowing the password...... We could only enter through the entrance of the mausoleum. ”
"What are you afraid of with electronic locks? Our boss can break through the triple door with a single sword! Ling Zhe said disdainfully.
"Can't mess around! The underground in this vicinity is hollow and fragile, and when the ancient tombs were excavated a few years ago, there were landslides and landslides, and if you use brute force, it is likely to cause a chain reaction. If the reservoir is not protected, we will all be doomed! Long Yan looked solemn and said it very bluntly.
"Listen to him, go to the mausoleum." Yi Chen nodded.
He had heard Su Rui talk about the stakes before, and he knew what was at stake. It's just that this time the mission has to be tied, and everyone must also be in control of the proportions when fighting, otherwise if you are careless, you will destroy something, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The group cleared the barricades and entered the mausoleum.
Since the Han Dynasty, some emperors have advocated that the mountain is the mausoleum, because the mountain is hidden, which is also largely due to the motive of anti-theft.
In ancient times, the noble tomb owners knew that the priceless treasures that accompanied the burial were destined to attract thieves from the day they were laid into the earth. Therefore, the anti-theft measures for the tombs can be described as racking their brains: setting up doubtful graves, false tombs, laying confusion arrays, and strengthening the tombs by various methods, etc.
According to Long Yan, the mausoleum group of stone coffins and iron walls, tightly blocked, archaeologists organized the excavation of this tomb, ordinary steel drills bald a lot, only to be able to enter the tomb, the excavation was successful.
The stone steps meander and the further you go, the more humid and stuffy the environment becomes. Fortunately, everyone has night vision goggles, and after wearing them for a long time, they have adapted to it, and their vision is not affected, but they are carrying more than 20 pounds of equipment on their backs, and they are already sweating profusely when they come here.
This place is a little weird, it seems that the magnetic field has been disturbed to a certain extent, and Yi Chen, who has a good sense of direction, can't distinguish things, and he is dizzy, but fortunately, Long Yan is opening the way ahead.
Long Yan was like a living map, leading them to dodge various traps such as crossbows, poisonous smoke, and ambush fire.
These institutions can lead to the death of grave robbers. Even if Chang Qing was in their team and could avoid traps with his clairvoyant eyes, it was difficult for him to give correct instructions in a short period of time without knowing the terrain.
In some corners, broken ceramics and improvised funerary objects can be seen, mixed with rubble. Many items are displayed in an orderly manner, and it is not difficult to see that there were people here to do the restoration of cultural relics before, but the end of the world is coming, and survival has become a problem.
"Do you think there will be zongzi here?" Ling Zhe asked coldly.
"What is a zongzi?" Yi Chen's understanding of the term is limited to food.
"This is a code word that circulates among tomb robbers, talking about the relatively well-preserved corpses in the tombs, which have not decomposed, but have been transformed. Don't you watch TV and novels? Ling Zhe explained.
