Several people walked along the passage for a distance of about 100 meters, turned a corner, and about 20 meters in front, a black gate blocked the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Due to the poor lighting, Dong Jianlin and Deng Yi, the third squad leader, who were walking in front, had to turn on the strong flashlight in their hands to illuminate it, and the snow-white and dazzling white light shone straight on the black gate in front, showing a white spot of light on it.

Deng Yi, the third squad leader, walked to the front of the door, reached out and touched the black door panel, and felt that the top was not flat and smooth, but covered with many small protrusions, and felt cold under the tentacles, and for a while I couldn't see what material this door was made of, the height of the door was about two meters, and the width was about one meter, it was a single-leaf door that opened and closed, but there was no keyhole on the side of the door that could be opened or a doorknob or something like that.

If it weren't for the difference between the color of the door and the color of the gate, it would be difficult to find that there was still a gate here.

"What's the matter, Jianlin Xiaodeng, why don't you go forward?" Yang Jun's voice sounded behind him.

Dong Jianlin turned his head and said to Yang Jun and the others behind him: "It's not that we don't move forward, but that another gate has appeared here to seal the road...............!" ”

At this time, Xu Jiandong and the thin man and others also surrounded them, and the third squad leader Deng Yi and Dong Jianlin hurriedly got out of the way when they saw this.

Xu Jiandong took out the pen hand, then put his ear tightly on the door, turned around and knocked on the black door in front of him with the handle of the knife, according to this method, you can generally know whether the door is empty or not.

Xu Jiandong knocked for a while, then shook his head again and again and said: "This door is not an iron door at all, but made of some rare stone, the thickness is ominous, and the weight may reach thousands of catties. ”

"Then what to do, if opening this road is the only way out, I'm advocating blowing the door open, who knows what your guys think?" Dong Jianlin looked at the door and said.

Company Commander Wang glanced at Dong Jianlin and didn't say anything, but turned his head to Xu Jiandong and said, "Mr. Xu, do you say that you can blow it up with **?" ”

"I think it's better not to use **, not to mention whether it can be blown up, that is, the huge impact and destructive power of the explosion, it is difficult to protect it and other places, and it will be ............miserable if it collapses again." Xu Jiandong stared at the door and said.

Company Commander Wang nodded and did not speak.

Yang Jun on the side said at this time: "What Brother Xu said makes sense, I also think that the thickness of this kind of stone gate at the moment far exceeds the explosion power of **, and the general ** must have no way to take it, and if it can't be blown up, it is possible to destroy the mechanical device inside or something, in that case, don't think about it at all." ”

Hearing this, Company Commander Wang nodded and said, "The ancient people designed this thing too yin, isn't this obviously going to kill people!" ”

"I don't think I can blame others, who let us stumble into other people's territory by mistake, everyone can be safe and sound now, I'm very satisfied, right?" Company Commander Tong said suddenly at this time.

"What the hell is going on, we can't open it, we can't blow it up, we will be starved to death after a long time, ......... we ourselves will be starved to death." Company Commander Wang rubbed his hands and said anxiously.

At that moment, everyone present began to talk about it.

When everyone was talking, Xu Jiandong did not participate in their discussion, but used a strong flashlight to carefully shine from the top of the gate to the stone ground below, almost inch by inch to observe.

Xu Jiandong felt that the mechanism device that opened this stone door must be not far from here, but now there is no way to know what the mechanism that opens it will be, a stone slab or a sudden thing may be the mechanism button to open, it should be similar to the setting direction and mode of the mechanism that opened the stone door.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiandong carefully searched back step by step against the stone wall, and then changed to another one to continue the above actions.

Yang Jun and the thin man looked at Xu Jiandong's strange behavior at this time and were puzzled, they didn't know what he was doing, and thought he had lost something, so he was looking for it here, the thin man couldn't help but ask after looking at it for a while: "Brother Xu, what are you looking for?" Is something missing? ”

Xu Jiandong shook his head and said that what he said was wrong, and he didn't even raise his head to continue his strange movements.

Yang Jun glanced at the thin man, and the two of them also searched for it with a strong flashlight, although they didn't know what Xu Jiandong was looking for at this time.

Company Commander Wang, Company Commander Tong and others, who had been discussing endlessly, were also attracted by Xu Jiandong's strange behavior at this time, and they all came over in unison.

Ten steps away from the stone gate, near the left side of the stone wall, there was a stone slab on the ground that looked a little empty under it, and people stepped on it to make a different sound from other grounds.

But seeing that around this stone slab with an area of about 40x40 squares, after Xu Jiandong stomped down a few times, black gaps appeared, which was obviously the result of the dust being shaken and falling down.

Seeing this, Xu Jiandong was a little excited in his heart, he turned his head and said to the thin man behind him: "Qiangzi, come and pry open this stone slab to take a look, I think there is something ............ down here!" ”

The thin man smiled when he heard the words and said, "Okay, do it immediately, Brother Xu, is there any treasure hidden underneath?" His mouth was poor, and his hands did not stop, but he took out the American dog-legged hunting knife from his waist, inserted the tip of the knife into the gap in the stone slab, and with a little force, he pried the stone up.

With the movement of the thin man, the 40x40 cm slate seemed to be easily pried open without much effort.

At the moment when the square stone slab was pried up, everyone present heard the sound of a machine spring, and the moment the stone was turned over, several powerful things shot out from below.

Because the speed of those things was so fast, the sound of the sharp weapons breaking through the air was so loud that the human eye could not see what they were, and they disappeared somewhere in the passage, making a clanging sound of metal hitting the ground.

Fortunately, the thin man was standing on the side of the stone slab to open it, and if he had stood in front of it, he would have been shot into a hedgehog at this time.

Xu Jiandong, Yang Jun and the others were also really shocked, no one would have thought that under this ordinary stone slab, there would be such a sharp hidden weapon, and at the same time, they also sweated for the thin man who squatted on the ground and didn't stand up.

The thin man was still in the thrilling situation just now and did not come back to his senses, although he was skilled, but if he had just ......... Forget it, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Did you hurt the hadron?" Xu Jiandong squatted in front of the thin man and asked with concern.

The thin man smacked his teeth at him and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

Seeing this, Company Commander Wang, Company Commander Tong and others hurriedly surrounded them.

"What's the matter, Jun, what's going on, what were those things just now?" Company Commander Wang hurriedly asked.

Yang Jun just shook his head and said, "I didn't see what those things were clearly, the speed was too fast......... However, if my guess is correct, it must be some kind of dark arrow fired by a powerful launcher......... or something. ”

"Ah Junbing's right, those things just now are hidden weapons, the person who designed the mechanism is too vicious, his intention is that even if you find a way to open the door, you may not be able to escape the shooting of the hidden weapon below......... If I had been standing in front of me just now, I am afraid that I would have ............ by this time. Xu Jiandong said softly.

Dong Jianlin and Deng Yi, the third squad leader, used a strong flashlight to shine in the passage, and suddenly found that there were two objects on the ground that were shining with cold light, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.

Lying quietly on the ground was a black steel arrow, about fifteen centimeters long and about 1 in diameter. 5 cm, its head has a pair of barbs that can be opened and closed, the hook head is two delicate blades are very sharp, after this kind of dark arrow into the human body, the open barb can firmly hook the human flesh, if you want to pull it out, that is only to go to the hospital for surgery.

After a closer look, I found that the whole body of this arrow was not black, but seemed to be black with a faint blue luster, which made people feel very weird.

The tail of the arrow is a standard four-winged balanced wing, which does not easily deviate from its intended course when flying.

Dong Jianlin picked up the dark arrow on the ground, and when he was about to walk back, Deng Yi, the third squad leader next to him, grabbed him, and said with a strong flashlight above his head: "Old Dong, look up at .........." ”

Hearing this, Dong Jianlin looked up in confusion, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Under the light of the flashlight, several black steel arrows with four wings were nailed deep into the ceiling, as if they had been shot with a nail gun.

"Holy! If this fucking shoots on someone, it won't be ......... if you don't shoot them through! Dong Jianlin looked at the few hidden arrows above his head and said in surprise.

"Did you find anything?" Xu Jiandong's voice sounded.

When Dong Jianlin heard this, he and Deng Yi, the third squad leader, both walked over, and when they got closer, they handed him the steel hidden arrow in their hands and said, "Oh! Mr. Xu, I didn't expect this kind of thing to shoot out from under the slate......... It's too powerful, isn't it? ”

Xu Jiandong took the steel dark arrow and looked at it back and forth, then handed the dark arrow to Dong Jianlin, and then said to the thin man beside him: "Qiangzi, you should go over, open the stone slab, and .........be careful." ”

Company Commander Wang and Company Commander Tong didn't know what Xu Jiandong was going to do, so Company Commander Wang asked: "Mr. Xu, why do you want to open this stone slab, aren't you afraid that there will be another dark arrow shooting?" ”

Xu Jiandong smiled when he heard the words and said: "It should be okay now, this kind of strong crossbow arrow uses a strong spring as the starting power, what I don't understand is how there was a spring ......... in ancient times." He paused and continued, "I think there must be some secret hidden under this slate......... ”

Company Commander Tong was also interested at this time, and said with a smile: "Could it be that there are really gold and silver jewels hidden under the stone slab?" ”

Xu Jiandong smiled when he heard this, and said: "The gold, silver and jewelry will not be hidden in this kind of place, if my guess is correct, it must be a mechanism ......... open some kind of door." ”

Everyone present felt that this was possible, so they all gathered around, and all their eyes fell on the square stone slab on the ground for a while.

The slate was completely opened by the thin man and turned to the side, so that the things under the slate were completely exposed to everyone.

After observation, it was found that there was an exquisite mechanism under the slate, a row of six pipes, obviously those dark arrows were fired from these tubes, the principle is very simple, when someone opened the slate on it, due to the action of the force, the wire pulled up the row of launch tubes at an angle, and at the same time hung a bowstring for the dark arrows, and finally the mechanism released those dark arrows in the tube.

"It's strange, if you just rely on the spring in the tube to launch those dark arrows, you will definitely not shoot so far, and the force will definitely not be so amazing, isn't it the ......... that is fired with the spring." Xu Jiandong glanced inside as he spoke, and found that there was something similar to a magazine behind that row of launch tubes, and behind that row of launch machines, it was something similar to the principle of a mechanical lever. The second row of hidden arrows entered the magazine and was in a state of waiting to be fired, which was similar to the Zhuge repeater in the Three Kingdoms period.

"Awesome, I can't imagine that the ancients had such scheming and wisdom, admire .........!" Xu Jiandong thinks that he is a design genius, but when he sees this kind of launcher, he can't help but secretly admire it.

Yang Jun said at this time: "Brother Xu, was there such a metal material and manufacturing process in ancient times, how could I never know that this device is a modern product." ”

"Yes, it is impossible for this kind of steel to be used to make such an advanced device in ancient times, so what is the matter with what you see now, could it be that modern people have come in here and set up this kind of vicious dark arrow?" Xu Jiandong is also a little dizzy now, and I can't conclude my previous thoughts for a while.
