Chapter 288: The Gates of Hell

Hell, Wyvern, Demon...... Everything Prasad said sounded too unbelievable, but looking at his two broken legs, one had to believe everything he said.

Balma, Sharma and others all know that Prasad is one of the most senior employees in the "company", with a high status and usually very prestige, and the words that come out of his mouth are certainly not groundless.

If Prasad hadn't been experienced, someone else might not have had a chance to escape from the attack of the unknown creature.

"Are those flying dragons still here? Iβ€”Why didn't we see it? The mustachioed Sharma asked tremblingly, twisting his head to look up at the sky, lest the ferocious wyvern rush down and twist his head off.

"They are only active at night, and during the day when the sun comes out, these dragons burrow into the water." Prasad gasped, "Now, I'm going to give you an important missionβ€”and that's the main reason you've been summoned. ”

Balma nodded, crouching beside Prasad with a deaf look.

Prasad took a deep breath, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "In the camp on the shore, there is a box of C4 explosives hidden. Before it's dark, go and find the explosives, put on a timer and sink them to the bottom of the water to detonate them. ”

"But, however, there are still our team members and many staff members down there, and they don't know if they are still dead, maybe they are hiding in the underground palace waiting for rescue...... "Sharma said hesitantly.

If a whole box of C4 explosives were to detonate underwater, I am afraid that the entire waterhole would be turned upside down, as no living creature could survive such an explosion, and the shock wave alone would be enough to shock them all to death.

"I don't care about this, this is a secret order given to me from above: if there is any accident in the expedition, destroy the scene immediately, leaving no trace of our activities." Prasad said categorically.

Sharma and the rest of the team looked at each other.

Balma sorted out his equipment and said, "You all heard, carry out the order!" ”

Sharma got up, hesitated, looked back at Prasad who was lying there, and said, "Do you want us to leave someone here to accompany you?" ”

"No, it's important to carry out the mission! Hurry up, the sun is about to set. Prasad's expression was resolute.

Balma and the others quickly rushed to the bottom of the mountain, and sure enough, they found the box of C4 explosives in the camp that Prasad said. Balma set the timer, put it in the explosives box, sealed the explosives with a waterproof bag, and the two men carried the explosives box to the edge of the pool and threw it into the water.

Watching the explosives box quickly sink to the bottom of the water, Balma looked at his watch, "Explode in 15 minutes, everyone take everything in the camp and evacuate immediately!" ”

Fortunately, most of the equipment and instruments in the camp have been taken down by the exploration team, and the remaining things are enough for six people to take them all.

As for the excavator in the water, perhaps the shock wave of the explosion would cause the waterhole to collapse, and the excavator would be buried deep under the water - who knows, they are not capable of moving such a bulky object, not to mention that after listening to Prasad's statement, no one in this group of Gurkha mercenaries dared to enter the water, no matter how bold they were.

The group returned to the place where they had just arrived with the contents of the camp, and Sherpa and his teammates prepared to retreat on a stretcher carrying Prasad.

Prasad said with a serious expression: "Wait a minute. ”

Balma knew that Prasad would not leave until he saw the explosion with his own eyes.

After 2 minutes, everyone only felt that the ground under their feet shook suddenly, and a wave of more than ten meters high suddenly jumped in the pool. Although they couldn't hear the sound, they knew that the explosion under the water must be terrifying.

Prasad nodded, such an explosion was enough to destroy everything underwater. The so-called gates of hell must have been shattered as well.

"Let's go, let's go back." Prasad said wearily.

……

After listening to the "confession" of the mustachioed Sharma, everyone looked at each other.

Zi Yang and Su Rui had been to the bottom of the water before, and they had seen the scene of rocks and rocks under the water, but they didn't expect this strange scene to be produced by an explosion.

It's just that Prasad still made a mistake, the explosion only blew the bottom of the water to a mess, but it didn't seal the hole, the waterhole didn't collapse, and the excavator was still there.

It seems that Prasad's mission failed.

"After you rescued Prasad, did you ever go back to Qinhan Village?" Su Rui asked.

"Noβ€”at least we didn't come back, and I don't know if anyone else came." The mustachioed Sharma looked at Su Rui, Ziyang, and Jin Guoqiang.

"Big brothers, big sisters, I have told you everything I know, can you let me go now?"

"I can't let you go yet, you must stay with us until we leave here." Jin Guoqiang said coldly.

Sharma wilted at once, and his head drooped listlessly.

Su Rui pondered and asked Sharma: "There is one more thing to ask you, Prasad said that the exploration team found an underground palace under the waterhole, which they used to use as an outpost, did he tell him more about this outpost?" ”

Sharma thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Prasad didn't mention anything else, and it is estimated that he has never gone down, so I don't know what it looks like below, I think that Xiao Chen is talking nonsense, right?" How can there be a palace under such deep water? ”

"Captain, Ziyang, I'll discuss something with you."

Su Rui called Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang to another room and whispered, "There is no doubt that there is a larger underground cavity in the waterway we found, and it is very likely that it is a palace-like ancient tomb. ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it? Who has the ability to build a palace under such deep water? I think this must be an exaggerated rhetoric on the part of the young man, right? Zi Yang touched his chin and said. Sharma explained a lot of things in a rambling manner, and it is estimated that only a genius beauty with a super memory like Su Rui can remember all the details.

Su Rui shook his head and said, "I don't think it's like I said it casually. I can hear that the people who came to explore are professional technicians, and the word 'underground palace' will not be used casually, and according to my observations, there are many traces of human engineering under this blue hole. ”

Zi Yang scratched his head, in terms of observation, he really couldn't refute Su Rui, it was already very difficult for him to patronize and pant under the water, he didn't have the heart to observe the surroundings at all, and with his crude knowledge, it was estimated that he might not be able to see what the door was if he was engrossed.

Jin Guoqiang frowned and said, "Could it be that this underground palace they are talking about is the place where you found the corpses of the Gurkha cavalry before?" ”

Su Rui shook his head: "It's unlikely, first, the space is not big enough, and second, there are only the corpses of these two Gurkha cavalrymen inside, and the exploration team plus two other Gurkha mercenaries, as well as a large number of instruments and equipment, none of which have been seen in it." ”

Zi Yang nodded: "Well, whether there is an underground palace or not, you can only know if you go into the waterway." However, we have run out of oxygen cylinders, and we can't dive anymore, so it seems that we have to give up. ”

Although he said that he would give up, Ziyang did not have any regrets on his face, and he was even a little relaxed in his heart.

Su Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, do you remember our two nano clothes?" I've checked and the basic functions are still working and we can continue to use it to get into the water. ”

"But the oxygen cylinders on the nanosuit have run out." Zi Yang frowned and said, in order to escape from diving again, he simply racked his brains.

Su Rui smiled and said, "No matter who gave these two clothes to those two Gurkha mercenaries, they obviously didn't fully grasp the function of nanoclothes. Although the oxygen cylinder has been used up, there is still redundant gas in the structure of the nanosuit, which is set up to ensure safety in case of special situations, and requires specific instructions to activate this function, which is almost enough for me to dive once - if I am fast enough. ”

Zi Yang ran out of tricks this time, and looked at Jin Guoqiang as if asking for help. You're always talking.

Jin Guoqiang asked her: "If there is an underground palace, it must be still in the inner part of the waterway, are you sure that the gas in it is enough to last until you come back?" ”

Su Rui said with a serious expression: "So this time I will go down alone, bring two wetsuits at the same time, if one of the gas runs out, I will change into the other one in the cave below and return." ”

"Don't forget, there's a 'gray shadow' in thereβ€”that, that wyvern!?" Zi Yang heard that Su Rui was going into the water alone, and he began to stutter anxiously.

"Balma, they made such a big explosion down there, I guess those gray shadows should have been wiped out." Looking at Zi Yang's hesitant appearance, Su Rui comforted him and said:

"Don't worry, I also decided to do this after careful consideration, and it's not hell and demons down there, it's probably an ancient tomb, because the sealed underwater environment creates a separate ecosystem. These gray shadows are not wyverns, they are supposed to be mutated underwater creatures, and after the explosion, the chances of survival are slim. We've been here for a few days, and we haven't seen any strange creatures. ”

Jin Guoqiang looked at her suspiciously: "I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in hell demons or anything, but I don't know much about scientific things." Can you confirm that your judgment is correct? ”

Su Rui nodded: "I believe in science!" ”

Zi Yang saw that Jin Guoqiang was about to be persuaded by her, and shook his head like a rattle: "Wait, wait, let's not rush to conclusions, such a dangerous thing can't be decided based on judgment alone-why don't we call everyone together to vote by raising hands?" ”

Jin Guoqiang frowned: "This matter involves Wang Yangming and Professor Zhang. Ye Zhiqiu and Xiaoli don't know what's at stake, do you think they can make the right judgment? ”

Zi Yang scratched his head, it was obvious that Jin Guoqiang had already tacitly agreed to Su Rui's decision, and now the situation was 2:1.

Su Rui looked at Ziyang with a smile: "Do you have a better solution?" ”

Ziyang, who was forced into a "desperate situation", came up with a brilliant note: "Or, let's draw lots to decide whether we can go down or not, okay?" ”

Jin Guoqiang couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "Otherwise, let's not rush to decide this matter first, it's already late, let's rest first, and discuss what to do tomorrow." ”

"Well, that's a good idea! Su Rui, what do you think? Zi Yang pleaded and looked at Su Rui. If he sleeps, the stubborn Su Rui may change his mind.

Su Rui nodded, "That's fine." ”

Seeing Zi Yang come out of the back room with Su Rui and Jin Guoqiang, Lao Wang asked curiously, "What are the three of you talking about inside?" As a member of the team, I ask you to respect my right to know! ”

"It's just you!" Azusa gave him a blank look.

"It's already the second half of the night, and everyone has a busy day, so let's rest early." Su Rui said.

"Ziyang, Xiaohei, me, Lao Wang, the four of us take turns to stand guard on duty, each for an hour." Jin Guoqiang arranged.

"Iβ€”What about me?" Brother Chic asked Jin Guoqiang tremblingly. After watching the "performance" of this special operations captain yesterday, he was quite afraid of this black-faced man who was "ruthless" and "killed without blinking."

"Forget it." Jin Guoqiang didn't even look at him, he still didn't trust the person of Brother Chic very much.

After everything was arranged, Ziyang began the first round of duty. Everyone else slept in the house.

After this thrilling day, Ziyang was indeed sleepy and tired, sitting in the courtyard with her upper and lower eyelids constantly fighting. But with the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he didn't dare to sleep, so he had to keep twisting his thighs to keep himself awake.

finally stayed up until Xiao Hei came to change shifts, and Ziyang climbed into the tent and fell asleep groggy.

Early the next morning, I heard a loud noise outside. Ziyang came out of the tent with sleepy eyes, and when he saw Xiaoli shouting in a hurry, Lao Wang hung his head and looked ashamed.

"What's wrong?" Ziyang asked.

"Sister Su Rui is no, she is gone, and when I came in the morning, I found that she was not in the tent." Xiaoli said with a crying voice.

"When did you not see you?" Ziyang asked anxiously.

"It should be in the early hours of the morning," Jin Guoqiang said with a gloomy face: "I counted the number of people when I changed shifts, and she was still there at that time." ”

Everyone looked at Lao Wang together, according to the arrangement, he was the last person on duty.

"Iβ€”I don't know, Iβ€”I'm so sleepy, I accidentally got confused......" Lao Wang lowered his head and muttered. It seems that this kid didn't sleep less when he was on duty.

"You, you pig's head, you don't even know that such a big person is gone!" Xiaoli stomped her foot and said.

"Have you looked for it in the village?" Zi Yang's eyes looked at Wang Juan.

If Su Rui was nearby, Wang Juan should be able to sense it.

Wang Juan shook her head.

"I've looked for it all nearby, and there's no Su Rui - where will she go? What did you discuss last night? Brother Xiao looked at Ziyang and asked with a sad and angry face.

Zi Yang was suddenly stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, he knew why Su Rui had disappeared.
