Chapter 345: The earth thunders
The crowd formed a circle around the cave, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, they were stuck on the hillside.
"There's only one way now, go down and try it." Zi Yang said as he looked at the black hole.
"You're not afraid of death, aren't you? What if there's poison gas down there, too? Lao Wang said with a glare.
"Why don't you go down and try the poison?" Zi Yang said dissatisfiedly: "Old Wang, can you not just say frustrating words and give some constructive advice!" β
Lao Wang scratched his head and said with a sad face: "Now even if I go back and carry the head sheep, there is no trick, the hole is so narrow, the sheep can't go down!" β
"I'll try." Asgen put his backpack down.
Lao Wang stared at Asgen, with an incredible expression on his face: "You, aren't you afraid of death?" β
Asgen ignored him, and as if by magic, he took out a small cage from his backpack, and there were two little mice crawling around.
Lao Wang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "Damn, what a genius!" This rat is the best way to test the poison, Brother Asgen, you even hide such a hand! is worthy of being an expert in tomb robbery - hey, Lao Li, why are you screwing me? β
Asgen took out a thin nylon rope from his backpack, carefully wrapped it around the mouse's hind legs, took out a piece of cheese from his pocket, put it on the side of the mouse's nose and sniffed it, and threw the cheese into the hole with a raised hand.
The little mouse swooped into the hole with the nylon rope, and Asgen pinched one end of the nylon rope in his hand, squinting at the loop as it went down in circles.
Lao Wang barted his lips and exclaimed: "I have seen a lot, I have seen a dog tamer, a monkey tamer, and I have never seen a mouse tamer!" β
After going down twenty meters, Asgen stared at his watch, slowly pulling the nylon rope out after five minutes. When the little mouse was pulled up, he was still licking his little paws, and his two black eyeballs were purring.
Lao Wang sighed: "I have never seen rats so kindly as I do now. β
Su Rui looked at everyone and said, "Now it seems that the air below is safe, I'll go down and investigate first, and then you can go in if it's no problem." β
The first person to go down to the cave will face a lot of unknown dangers, Xiao Hei and Ah Chong, who are the best, are the most suitable candidates, but Xiao Hei can't communicate verbally, and Ah Chong's face has shown an unusually tired look since he arrived on the hillside, and his hands are trembling slightly involuntarily, and it seems that the cold poison accumulated in his body has been committed again.
Although he was trying his best to hide it, all of this was seen by Su Rui and Ziyang.
They knew that Ah Chong had been seriously injured some time ago and had not fully recovered, and Su Rui and Zi Yang knew his physical condition, and at this time Su Rui offered to go down first, and Zi Yang was also very grateful in his heart.
Although he was very clear about Su Rui's ability, it always felt a little inappropriate to let a girl take the lead, so Ziyang took her hand and said, "Why don't I go first." β
Su Rui smiled: "My body is lighter and more flexible than yours, I am the most suitable to go down, there is no need to fight." β
Lao Wang said unashamedly beside him: "Originally, I should have stood up at this time, but this hole is so small, I guess I will be stuck in it if I go down." So I won't fight with you. β
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui's determined eyes, and knew that he couldn't resist her, so he had to bow his head to help her sort out the equipment on her body.
Asgen tied a safety rope around Su Rui's waist and carefully advised, "Pull it to be safe; Pull twice to indicate that the upper can continue to lower the person; Pull three times to stop. β
Su Rui nodded.
Lao Wang asked beside him: "What does it mean to pull four times?" β
Asgen glanced at him: "It means that there is danger!" β
"Pull five times?"
The kid was clearly finding fault, and Asgen looked up at him coldly.
Lao Wang dodged his cold gaze, hugged his hands and shrunk his neck and turned his head away, and muttered endlessly: "I don't understand, you even have rocket artillery, but you can't get a few intercoms!" So much so that we now have to use such a primitive means of communication! β
Su Rui smiled and said: "The most primitive is often the most effective, I'll go first, I wish me well!" β
"I wish you all the best, little kiss, I'm waiting for you above~" Lao Wang pinched his throat and imitated Ziyang's tone of voice and kissed her.
Su Rui smiled and made a shooting gesture with his finger to his head.
Lao Wang tilted his head and rolled his eyes, indicating that he had been shot and died.
Zi Yang didn't have time to watch the performance of the actor Lao Wang, so he pulled the rope with Asgen and told Su Rui: "If the situation is wrong, come back immediately, don't force it!" β
Su Rui nodded, and slowly descended into the narrow thief hole, the miner's lamp on her head slowly turning into a bright spot below.
The rope has been slowly descending at an even speed, and after going down more than twenty meters, the taut rope suddenly softened, Ziyang and Asgen glanced at each other, Su Rui is in the end.
At this time, the rope shook slightly, and Zi Yang understood that Su Rui sent this signal to indicate that it was safe below.
A few minutes later, the rope shook twiceβSu Rui was calling them down.
Ah Chong said, "I'll go down." β
Zi Yang grabbed his hand and shook his head: "You rest for a while, I'll go down." β
Ah Chong looked at Ziyang, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Be careful." β
Ziyang lit the miner's lamp, grabbed the rope with both hands, stepped on the cave walls on both sides, took a deep breath, and moved down step by step.
This robbery hole is almost straight up and down, judging from the neat shovel marks on both sides, the person who made this robbery hole is a master, after going down more than ten meters, Zi Yang saw the light of the mining lamp above Su Rui's head. Suddenly I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
After stepping on the ground, Ziyang finally understood where this strange feeling came from.
This place below is not the bottom of the thief cave at all, it is a narrow place that can only accommodate two or three people at the same time, and there is a hole with a square circle on the side of the bottom of the cave, and the bottom is dark inside.
"What's going on?" Ziyang asked in surprise.
Su Rui picked up a piece of cheese residue from the ground.
"This should be leftover from the rats, and Asgen's rope was put here just now."
"Is this a two-cut hole? There's a thief hole down there? β
Su Rui shook his head, "I don't know - there's a strange place here, you see here." β
Su Rui bent down and stroked the floating soil on the soles of his feet with his hands, revealing the ground below, Ziyang looked down and couldn't help but be taken aback: "This, this is cement?" β
Su Rui nodded.
"It's strange, cement is obviously a product of modern times, if this is an ancient tomb, how can there be a cement cap?" Ziyang is circled again.
Su Rui said hesitantly: "Judging from the traces of excavation here, it is estimated that the person who made the robbery hole at the beginning also encountered a cement layer and could not dig it anymore, so he tentatively laid a lot of shovels around it, and finally found a cement joint here and continued to dig a robbery hole." β
Zi Yang frowned and said, "Won't it?" I think this cement layer is at least a palm's thick, if you want to make a hole in it, not only must you have a diamond diamond, but your strength is at least as big as a hundred old kings combined, right? β
Su Rui smiled slightly: "Now that the means of tomb robbery have become high-tech, it is almost impossible to open such a cement layer with the traditional way of robbing holes, but it can be easily broken with a miniature static explosion rock splitter." Moreover, this kind of static explosion splitter uses the principle of hydraulic pressure, and the strength and range are controllable, and it will not collapse the entire theft hole like explosives. β
Su Rui touched the cement fault with his hand and said, "Look, this should be the place where the splitting rod is inserted." β
With the light of the miner's lamp, Ziyang could see that there was a groove with a radius of a few centimeters on the cement layer, and it was dark below that it was impossible to see things clearly - the old-fashioned miner's lamp provided by Asgen had a limited degree of lighting, and if it was the kind of advanced miner's lamp or high-tech miner's lamp purchased by Su Rui before, it was estimated that it would not be so embarrassing.
Zi Yang sighed repeatedly: "This situation is too complicated, it is estimated that our tomb robber expert Comrade Asgen will be more familiar, do you want to call him down to take a look?" β
Su Rui nodded: "I think so too, the key is that we don't know what's going on in this thief hole below, and we don't know if there is toxic gas deposits, and we have to rely on his little mouse to continue to explore our way." β
Zi Yang put his arm around Su Rui's waist and chuckled, "If Asgen wants to come down again, the two of us can only face to face." β
There is not much space at the bottom of this robbery hole, and if there are three people standing at the same time, it will indeed be crowded.
Su Rui glanced at him with a smile, "When will your temper of complaining regardless of occasion and place be changed?" β
Zi Yang's old face turned red, and he simply said cheekily: "If you let me get it, I'll change it!" β
Su Rui snorted, turned his head to ignore him, and gently tugged on the safety rope twice.
After a while, there was darkness overhead, and a few tiny stones fell, and the two of them knew that someone had come down.
Zi Yang hugged Su Rui and clinged to the edge of the cave tightly, leaving a place for the people who came down above.
This obvious move to take advantage of Su Rui did not resist.
The figure had just been halfway down, when suddenly Lao Wang's roar and Asgen's exclamation came from above, Su Rui and Ziyang looked at each other, something happened!
A dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, mixed with Lao Wang's cursing in the middle.
The gunfire rang out for a few seconds before it suddenly stopped.
"Lao Li! Watch out for bombs! The king screamed loudly.
As soon as they heard Lao Wang's shout, the figure loosened the safety rope with both hands and descended to the bottom of the cave, Zi Yang and Su Rui looked up, only to see a black thing with a string of sparks spinning and falling from above.
"Let's go!" Ah Chong's deep voice sounded in their ears, and Zi Yang only felt a strong force coming from his side, and the whole person was planted head and foot in the black hole.
While the man was still in the air, he heard a loud noise from above.
Zi Yang's ears buzzed, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
