Snowy Demon Cave Chapter 17 Cave in the Ground
The camp fell into a raging fire, the Germans confirmed that there was no possibility of survival, so they gathered the team, and returned to the camp, Li Ruhai also ordered everyone to turn over and get on the horse, continue to hurry, and then go up, until they reached the halfway up the mountain, they met Zhan Xian and Sun Yuanhu, who had been waiting here, there were more than a dozen tents scattered behind them, and the style of the tents was completely different from what we lived, from the scale, it was not like Zhang Tianlei's camp, and suddenly I was shocked, is this the camp of the Germans?
Sun Yuanhu stepped forward and nodded at Li Ruhai, the soldiers were united, and went straight to the top of the mountain in the dark, the top of the mountain under the bright moonlight was full of ruins, and the towering huge arch in front of it highlighted the glory of the past, and the collapsed rammed earth walls and huge stone pillars cooperated with each other to project a black shadow, like a monster with teeth and claws, the fierce mountain wind blew from the city, making a piercing whistling sound, in addition to the dark city behind the arch, there was no movement, standing here, people couldn't help but feel fear, Silenced.
Li Ruhai was not in a hurry to go in, but ordered everyone to dismount and rest outside the city, I found a stone bar to sit on, a butt down, I felt very awkward, by the moonlight to take a closer look, it turned out that the stone bar was engraved with a Dapeng bird, this pattern I saw once in the Tibetan Scripture Temple, but in contrast, the carving of this Dapeng is more lifelike, as if ready to jump out of the stone bar at any time, spread its wings and rise into the air, I was looking at the Dapeng in front of me, suddenly there was a huge explosion sound under the mountain, scared me a trembling, A series of explosions followed, shaking the Caldon Mountains beneath his feet, and bricks and earth were falling from the ruined walls around him.
I hurriedly ran to Li Ruhai's side to look down, only to see the German camp halfway up the mountain with the firelight, bursts of smoke, the smoke flew up a lot of people or horses stumps, and smashed back to the ground, it turned out that Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian took advantage of the German army to sneak attack our camp, ran to the German camp to put explosives, Li Ruhai really cleverly calculated, excluding dissidents at the same time, but also achieved the goal of diverting the tiger from the mountain, but I don't know which unlucky ghost is responsible for lighting the explosives.
Seeing the German camp disappear with the explosion, Li Ruhai turned around, walked straight to the city with his hands behind his back, Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian's subordinates lit torches, turned on the flashlight, and Yuanshou took the lead in running to the front to lead the way.
Passing through the arch, there is an open space in front of me, sure enough, as Yuan Shou said, this city has long ceased to exist, I deliberately looked at the ground under my feet, except for the stone is loess, there is no trace of gold and silver, the flashlight shines within the range, there are only some fragmented white stones, many are two or three people high, I don't know what they are used for, most of these stones are engraved with Dapeng birds, I said in my heart that the Xiangxiong people also worship this bird too much, carved everywhere.
After walking about a cigarette, there was a high platform made of rammed earth in front of me, the wide white stone steps went up step by step, the two sides of the high platform were completely hidden in the darkness, I don't know how big, everyone climbed the steps, each step was also engraved with various patterns, there were diamond-shaped, there were wavy ones, it seemed to be decorative, but it seemed to express other meanings, and when I went to the top, I found that this high platform was lower than I imagined, at most there were two or three people at most, and when I walked to the top, there was a huge tripod erected high in front of me, It turned out that this was the construction site of the Germans.
At this time, the construction site was pitch black, and I couldn't help but ask in a curious whisper: "Where are Zhang Tianlei and the other people who work?" ”
Yidaoping said coldly: "Do you think Li Ruhai will keep them?" ”
"Li Ruhai will definitely not stay, but their work is not finished yet, it is impossible to kill them all at this time, right?" Unless "
Speaking of this, I was full of excitement, and looked at Yidaoping in astonishment, he looked at the tripod in front of him, and nodded calmly.
Around the tripod neatly stacked piles of wooden boxes, numbered with letters and numbers, it seems that there should be some parts and supplies, someone lit four or five large gas lamps around the tripod, the whole construction site suddenly brightened as day, the tripod hung a pulley, there was a rope on the pulley, and a large iron basin hung below, under the iron basin is a dark hole, from the hole blowing a gust of wind, blowing I can't help but tremble.
Li Ruhai turned around, and immediately went over a few people to surround him in the middle, Yuanshou and Sun Yuanhu were waiting on the side, he took off his robe and coat, changed into a black shirt and pants, Sun Yuanhu squatted at his feet and wrapped his leggings in a circle, packed up his body, walked to my side and said, "Lei is in charge, take a trip with the old man?" ”
A knife gently dragged me behind him, signaling me not to go, Li Ruhai looked at me with a hesitant face, hahaha laughed and said, "What? It's hard to get here, scared? ”
"Just go." ”
"Okay, Yuanmei, you stay on top, Yuanhu, you make arrangements, bring the necessary equipment, and go down the cave immediately." After saying this, Yuan Mei stared at Li Ruhai meaningfully and nodded lightly.
I heard a knife behind me sigh softly, I understand, Li Ruhai's goal is below this, if it is really a mountain of gold and silver, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will see the money, and start to act for their own interests, if there is nothing, then Li Ruhai is very likely to kill people in order to save his face, even if he returns with joy in the end, and I, an outsider, don't say what I can get, whether I can continue to live, it's just a matter of Li Ruhai nodding, that is, no matter what the result is, For me, this is a dangerous place, but now that I am a fish on the case, how can I say no? Rather than being forced to go down in the end, it is better to come to the scenery with all your mouths full.
Sun Yuanhu waved his hand, several of his subordinates carried over two large wooden boxes, opened to see, one box is a box cannon and bullets, the other two are flashlights, ropes, backpacks and some emergency things, in addition to the box cannon, the rest are all German equipment, Sun Yuanhu said: "The space below is limited, the spear can't be used, everyone try to bring as much ammunition as possible, in case of emergency." ”
What shocked me was that the first one to reach out for the gun was actually Li Ruhai, not only me, but also Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian's eyes widened, only to see Li Ruhai pick up the gun, check it in his hand, load the magazine, load, open the insurance, the whole set of actions in one go, everyone's eyes were shocked.
Everyone cleaned up, Yidaoping entrusted the dog to Yuanmei, Chili and Guori kept whining, looking reluctant, Yidaoping hugged them tightly, quite a bit of a hero's posture of never returning.
Sun Yuanhu sent two of his subordinates to lead the way to the cave, Li Ruhai and Yuanshou followed, followed by Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian, I and Yidaoping Finally, the rickety iron basin finally fell to the ground with the sound of pulleys squeaking and twisting.
Under the illumination of eight flashlights, I was surprised to find that we were actually standing in a room, the room was not big, only ten steps square, from the sky to the earth were made of white stones, the light of the flashlight was reflected back, the white was dazzling, I looked around carefully, and found a strange problem, this room has no door.
And there is no trace of construction here, did the Germans remove everything from here? No, the Germans' camp must have been searched several times when Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian planted the explosives, if there is something, Li Ruhai doesn't have to come down in person, there is only one possibility, this project is not finished, Li Ruhai killed people early, thinking of this, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that I can jump for a few more days.
Li Ruhai and Sun Yuanhu did not give up and they used flashlights to shine around, from the ceiling to the wall to the ground, I and Yidaoping leaned against the corner of the wall and smoked, watching coldly without caring about themselves.
After smoking a cigarette, they continued to look for it unwillingly, but a trace of sorrow had already appeared on Li Ruhai's face, and after another meal, Li Ruhai's brows had been tightly wrinkled, and at this time, one of Sun Yuanhu's subordinates was a little impatient, and said, "Master, or let's." Before he finished speaking, Li Ruhai raised his gun and fired, and when a gunshot rang out, the person who spoke covered his chest, fell to the ground on his back, convulsed a few times, and kicked his leg to death.
This shot was fired in such a small room, and it shook people's ears and buzzed, Li Ruhai looked around coldly at everyone, Sun Yuanhu and they were scared, picked up the flashlight and hurriedly looked for it inch by inch, I and Yidaoping continued to lean against the corner quietly, Li Ruhai glanced at us and turned his head.
Yuan Shou kept staring at the dead corpse on the ground and didn't know what he was looking at, Li Ruhai walked next to him, followed his line of sight at the dead corpse, and then said: "Huh? With a few steps back, Sun Yuanhu and Zhan Xian also hurriedly surrounded him, Zhan Xian glanced at it, and then looked at Li Ruhai with a surprised face, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and turned back and continued to look at the dead body.
I and a knife to see that there is a situation, but also slowly walked over, only to see the dead corpse's blood spread on the ground little by little, said to be spreading but unconventional, as if there is an invisible groove in the direction, but the position of the bullet, the amount of bleeding is less, the flow rate is extremely slow, Li Ruhai nodded at Sun Yuanhu, Sun Yuanhu pulled out the dagger, in the neck of the dead corpse, limbs each made up a few knives, and suddenly the blood flowed.
I saw the blood flow along the ground little by little to the opposite wall, the strange thing is that the blood did not fall down to the wall, but went straight up, and after a while a swastika symbol appeared on the wall, and the shape of a door was outlined by blood around the symbol, and then there was a huge sound of stone collision, everyone covered their ears, with a loud noise, the door actually opened little by little, and the sound disappeared completely, Li Ruhai walked towards the door with a happy face, we followed closely and walked quickly to the door.
Behind the door, a black one-person wide passage was revealed, and a white cold mist floated in it, which couldn't help but remind me of the underwater passage of the Yin Array, and I couldn't help but resist in my heart, and Li Ruhai saw the steps under his feet clearly, and he was about to step on it, completely ignoring whether there was a mechanism or not, I couldn't help but wonder, why did Li Ruhai enter here, as if he had changed people, even the danger that I could think of, he actually turned a blind eye, and just now saw that he was in a hurry when he killed someone, it's all here, what is he anxious about?
Sun Yuanhu pulled Li Ruhai away, volunteered to lead the way in front of the head, everyone followed him, lined up one by one, and walked down the steps, the black stone walls on both sides were smooth and bright, the seams were neat, obviously artificially polished, the more down the fog, the lower the temperature, the body shivered for a while, the steps were also wet, the light of the flashlight could not reach the feet, everyone could only hold on to the stone wall, slowly groping and moving down, for fear of slipping and rolling down.
After walking for about a meal, there was still no meaning of the end in front, but the sound of stones rubbing continued to come from behind, and then there was a "bang", the door above was closed, and the team stopped invariably, Li Ruhai coughed vigorously, and the team continued to move slowly, I found that the road was very straight, without any turns, according to this way, it is estimated that it is now almost under the ground of Karl Dong Mountain.
Until my calf is sore, struggling to walk, only to hear the front Sun Yuanhu said: "arrived", walked a few steps and finally stepped on the flat ground, with a flashlight to shine around, except for the stone wall behind me, there is nothing around, up can not see the top at all, the fog here is thicker, the light of the flashlight is like a residual candle, can only illuminate a small piece in front of you, the foot was stoned, squatting down and found, the original ground is all black, fist-sized stones, these stones are sharp and angular, if it is not for the thick soles, I am afraid that they would have been pierced a long time ago.
Pick up a piece, there are many layers below, carefully look at it and find that this stone is like coal but heavier than coal, the section is like glass glowing, very peculiar, Li Ruhai didn't know when to stand behind me, said: "Black tourmaline." ”
"Is this thing worth anything?" ”
He smiled, turned around and walked towards Yuanshou, and walked over with a knife and said, "Let's go, it's important to save your life." ”
I threw the stone stupidly, Sun Yuanhu asked Li Ruhai what to do next, Li Ruhai said: "Go in the direction of the river." ”
I asked, "Is there a river in this place?" ”
He looked at me suspiciously and said, "Didn't you hear?" ”
I held my breath and listened carefully, vaguely as if I heard the sound of water, but I couldn't tell the truth from time to time, and I couldn't help but admire Li Ruhai and Yidaoping's ear power, thinking that this is the real eyesight and ears.
Li Ruhai led the way, walked about forty or fifty steps, the fog in front of him suddenly dispersed a lot, a big black river appeared in front of him, the river was quiet, flowing slowly, even if he stood by the river, he couldn't hear a big sound of water.
I don't know if it was blocked by the fog on the surface of the river, or if the river itself was too wide, and the seven flashlights gathered together, they couldn't see the location of the opposite bank.
