Originally, because of the "ghosts" mentioned by General Shangguan, the surrounding air became extremely strange, and it seemed that the temperature had also decreased.

But when Gao Chao said the word "ancient tomb", it seemed that the air suddenly froze from weird, and the most cold of the three people, General Shangguan, seemed to become a little uneasy.

Silence, continued silence.

General Shangguan took out two cigarettes here, gave one to Gao Chao, and the two of them lit them, and no one spoke.

Gao Chao was naturally waiting, and Xinlan finally couldn't wait, so she urged: "Dad, have you really found out?" ”

General Shangguan finally sighed and said, "Yes, we did find out again. ”

Xinlan was stunned: "It's an ancient tomb?" ”

General Shangguan shook his head and said, "No, we don't know what it is, but ...... But it must have been an ancient building. ”

Xinlan seemed to be really anxious, so she thought about urging her father to tell the whole thing, but Gao Chao stopped her on the side and gave her a look, meaning to let her calm down.

Then Gao Chaocai said to General Shangguan calmly: "General, I know that some things must be inconvenient to say, but if you want to solve the problem, I think we are people you can trust, to tell you, we are very familiar with some ancient buildings, as well as some strange things that happened in them, we can also be called experts in this area, so if you can, please tell us about the whole thing, I think I may be able to help you." ”

General Shangguan looked at Gao Chao's eyes, what was he thinking?

Gao Chao didn't know what he was thinking.

But he thought about it for a long time.

Then, General Shangguan nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Here's the thing, about five months ago, during an anti-nuclear weapons exercise we organized, someone found that there was a hole in a place where the explosion had not been tested, so after he reported to the top, he received my order to stand by on the spot, not to enter without permission, etc., and then I sent two teams to check the hole, they felt that the place was not naturally formed, it seemed to be more like an artificial structure, so I felt that this issue was a little sensitive." But for other reasons, I decided not to report to my superiors, but to let the two teams enter the cave and find out. ”

Xinlan couldn't help but ask, "What did they find?" ”

General Shangguan said: "They found a very strange underground palace, which should be an ancient building of human beings, but they did not find anything left by human beings, and even the underground building form is completely different from the ancient ones, it is more like a cave, or an anthill, all in all, those palaces are full of passages, it is very easy to get lost, and one of my two teams failed to come out." ”

"Didn't make it?" Gao Chao was surprised: "You mean, they sacrificed? ”

General Shangguan said: "We don't know whether they were sacrificed or not, but we haven't been able to contact them until the current position." ”

Gao Chao was stunned: "You didn't send someone to rescue again?" ”

General Shangguan's face became even more gloomy, he shook his head and said, "No, in that case, it is impossible for me to send people to rescue again." ”

"Why?" Xinlan said anxiously.

General Shangguan sighed and said: "Two squads entered, one was missing, and the other came out, but they all had mental problems, and the most serious person cut open his abdomen, grabbed out the internal organs, and then ate the ...... himself"

When Gao Chao and Xinlan heard this, they both felt that there seemed to be a cold atmosphere around their bodies.

What kind of underground structure is this, and why is this happening?

Gao Chao thought about these things in his heart, and suddenly said: "General, haven't you thought about it, everything that is happening here now may have some kind of relationship with that underground building?" Maybe if you want to solve the problem here, someone has to go there and find out the real cause? ”

General Shangguan was silent for a moment and said: "Of course I thought about it, so I sent someone to check there afterwards, but the reply I got was that the hole was no longer found, even if the mark made at the scene was not moved, it could not be found, and the hole seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, so what should I do?" ”

Gao Chao thought for a while, he glanced at Xinlan next to him again, and then said, "General, if I am willing to help you find it, can you provide me with all the strength to cooperate with a small team?" I thought, maybe I can fix this. ”

General Shangguan was stunned for a moment, looking at Gao Chao in front of him, his eyes seemed to be full of expectation, but this expectation suddenly disappeared, and then General Shangguan said: "Comrade Xiao Gao, are you sure?" This is not a joke, let alone a time for big talk, this is a matter of human life. ”

Gao Chao nodded firmly and said: "Please rest assured, I am not a reckless person, I can only say that I can try to find this hole now, but after that, I also need to observe on the spot before I can draw conclusions, but I think I can do it because of my experience...... Very important. ”

For Gao Chao, this is just another adventure, and why would he do it? The reason is very simple, he needs to help General Shangguan solve the current crisis, grasp his time, and then return to Daxinganling as quickly as possible to save the fat man and Xia Qing, as well as complete the task there.

Therefore, in the face of the helpless Shangguan General, Gao Chao can only stand up, at the very least, he has absolute authority and experience for those things that cannot be seen, or things that do not belong to this world at all.

General Shangguan lit another cigarette, he seemed to be thinking about something, but Xinlan said on the side: "Brother Gao, I will go with you too." ”

When these words were spoken, General Shangguan raised his head and looked at his daughter, his eyes full of worry.

Gao Chao could see it, and of course he understood, so he immediately said: "Xinlan, you stay here, we are not short of manpower, this time the matter has nothing to do with the ninth game, you don't need to participate." ”

Xinlan said: "Brother Gao, your leg injury has not recovered yet, I can take care of you, and I ......"

Gao Chao didn't let her finish, and said: "The people who take care of me will have it, you just listen to me, you can't go, you stay here, I will return in the fastest time." ”

It seems that it is because of Gao Chao's resolute attitude, or because General Shangguan has finally figured it out, all in all, General Shangguan suddenly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, then stood up and said: "Okay, Comrade Xiao Gao, I agree with your suggestion, I will send you the best team, I personally select the personnel, they will all directly obey your orders, but you also have to promise me a little ......"

Gao Chao immediately stood up, although his leg injury was still there, which made him feel a little painful, but he still stood firmly: "General, please speak." ”

General Shangguan looked at Gao Chao and said, "You must guarantee that this matter will stop with you, me and Lan'er, and you will never be able to reveal a little bit to anyone, can you do it?" ”

Gao Chao was stunned, he didn't expect General Shangguan to make such a request, but he immediately nodded and said, "I can do it, General." ”

As he spoke, Gao Chao had already stretched out his right hand, and then, the hands of the two men were clasped together.

- The night sky was exceptionally clear, the Milky Way in the sky seemed to be flowing down at any moment, and a dark hole suddenly appeared in the moonlit sand dunes.

There was light shining through the hole, and suddenly, a jeep with sand and dust rushed out of the dark hole.

Gao Chao sat in the car, counting the driver, there were a total of five people in the car.

A soldier in the back seat suddenly said, "Captain Gao, about three kilometers northwest from here, this is where we found the suspicious hole. ”

Gao Chao nodded and said, "Okay, we have to get there before dawn." ”

"Yes!"
