Chapter 15 The means are vicious
Since the water monkeys can quietly put the corpse next to us, it means that they have the possibility of sneaking up on us at any time, so the three of us are more careful, and the three of us have six eyes, basically staring carefully in all directions, and then dare to take a step.

I finally advanced a few dozen meters, maybe I was too nervous, and the mark said that I had to rest for a while, otherwise all my brain cells would die. Lao Cai and I smiled bitterly, and the three of us sat down on the spot to rest, back to back.
In addition to the sound of our breathing, there is no other sound in the cave, this inexplicable quiet, so that everyone's spirit is tense, I see Lao Cai endure the sharp pain of the wound, still trying to cooperate with us, but I also admire him in my heart, but I am more worried about his injury, if it is really what the mark says, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After about ten minutes, the mark was rested and we continued our departure.
Before we knew it, we had turned another corner and found a second stone chamber, similar in shape to the previous one, with only two stone platforms inside. The label said that we wanted to go in and have a look, and Lao Cai and I were worried that there was an ambush inside, so we asked him not to go, after all, our main task was to rescue Professor Zhang and them, and more than one thing was better than less.
The mark was a little unhappy, probably thinking of the treasure in the ancient tomb, and said unwillingly: "It's all here, don't look at how to do it, I can't say that I can find something inside." "I knew what the label was thinking, and I wasn't embarrassed to talk about him, so I told him to go and come back quickly.
Seeing that Lao Cai and I had agreed, Biaozi couldn't help but lift his spirits, and immediately entered the stone room. Lao Cai and I had nothing to do, so we sat back to back and rested on the ground.
At this time, Lao Cai suddenly said to me: "Comrade Xiao Yang, I can see that you are a responsible person, so I want to remind you, don't get too close to Sun Dabiao, I don't think he is a good person." ā
I shook my head and said with a smile: "I said Lao Cai, you don't know this, I grew up with the standard since I was a child, and I know his temperament best, although he looks a little bohemian on the surface, he is actually the most interesting friend, but you haven't been with him for a long time, so you can't realize this." ā
As he spoke, Lao Cai brought up the matter of the gun mark, and he suspected that the mark was not a black dealer who smuggled guns, or a gangster working in the hands of the gangsters, he said: "You look at his rack with a gun in one hand, you know that there must be no less playing with guns, it is better for you to stay away from him, so as not to affect you." ā
Although I also think that Biaozi's behavior is very strange, but I still don't believe that he will be the kind of person Lao Cai said, Biaozi is very easy-going, as long as you can talk to him, he is willing to help you with anything, and he doesn't need any reason, he belongs to the kind of typical heartless person, but it is by no means a nonsense person.
In fact, I understand Lao Cai's feelings, he is a policeman, and he is usually serious, no matter what he says or does, he has this color in it. And Biaozi is a person, the person he hates the most is the type of Lao Cai, with such a person, Biaozi feels uncomfortable, so he always raises the bar with Lao Cai.
At this time, there was a panicked footstep in front, and the mark must have been folded back, and my conversation with Lao Cai ended here.
When I arrived, I noticed that the face of the mark was very pale, and I was about to ask him if he had made any new discoveries, but he put his hands on the wall and began to vomit.
After vomiting on the ground, he said as if he had collapsed: "Don't mention it, there is a corpse on the stone platform inside, which is one of the members of the previous batch, but it is not Professor Zhang." ā
It turned out that when the sign entered the stone house, he found that the ground was covered with blood, as if it had been painted with a layer of red paint, which was really shocking. However, he was bold and careful, and immediately became alert again, and when he looked around, he found that there were some things on the stone platform opposite, but they were too far away to see clearly.
With an uneasy mood, the mark approached and took a closer look, and was suddenly dumbfounded, there was a rag on the stone platform, but it was drenched in blood, and it looked a little cautious.
But he immediately noticed that something was wrong, the shape of this rag was too strange, similar to the size of a human being, with a few holes on it, which matched the human facial features very well. He was a little uneasy, but when his curiosity came, he couldn't take much of it, so he took the rag in his hand and looked at it carefully.
As soon as the rag was in his hand, the mark was almost frightened, and he retreated several steps in a row, damn it was a good human skin!
Turning his head to look at another stone platform, as he expected, there was also a dead man who had been skinned, his flesh and blood were blurred, no matter how bold the mark was, he was terrified after seeing that bloody scene, how could he care about anything else, and ran back.
I exhaled a breath, my whole body was cold, and I said: "If that is the case, Professor Zhang is probably more than lucky, so far we can be sure that Professor Zhang and the five of them, two have been killed, and we do not know whether the other three are dead or alive." Although it was not explained, everyone knew in their hearts that there was little hope that the others would survive.
After the label had cleaned all the filth from his stomach, he complained to us: "Damn, the methods of those beasts are too cruel, we better not fall into their hands, or we will fulfill the old saying 'death is ugly'." ā
Lao Cai thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "It doesn't make sense!" A piece of human skin is not said to be peeled off, how can those water monkeys have such ability? ā
I think about it and think this is very reasonable, such a job as skinning is not as simple as what we see in the movie, people who have studied the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty know that to peel a human skin, not only the requirements for the blade are very high, but also the knife must have a knack, otherwise a complete human skin is impossible to peel off.
Could it be that those water monkeys have evolved into human intelligence? It's hard to find any other explanation, but the tag says it's impossible, and the water monkey won't be able to do that no matter how smart he is, but what he worries about most is that there are dangers in this ancient tomb that we don't know about.
I said that it is not accurate, like we have encountered the attack of the corpse scorpion before, if it weren't for the vigilance of the mark, it is not good to say that we will all be planted this time, who knows if there are other threats besides the corpse scorpion. In general, this cave is very unusual, and I say that we must now make a choice, whether to continue the search or to go back empty-handed, and everyone can say their opinions.
Lao Cai said that he was highly poisoned, he was a person who was about to die, there was not much difference between early death and late death, he wanted to use his remnant life to do something meaningful, and naturally planned to continue to the end, he said to me and Biaozi: "You two should not have interfered in this matter, fortunately, there were no accidents, I think you should go back, the family in the province is worried, I will go to Professor Zhang and them alone." ā
I said how can I do it, I want to go together, I want to leave everyone together, and the purpose of me and Biaozi is not only to rescue Professor Zhang and them, but also to avenge the dead Xiaoling and eliminate those hateful water monkeys, I swore in front of Xiaoling's grave, how can I break my promise, if I go down in the future, it will not be easy to meet.
Lao Cai persuaded me bitterly: "I have made it very clear to you last time, Xiaoling's death is suspicious, it may not be that the water monkey did it, otherwise the body will not be as intact as it is." ā
Biaozi couldn't get used to the hypocritical scene, and hurriedly said: "Don't go seven miles and eight miles, I think the person who should go back the most is you, you don't have many days left, just use this last bit of time to enjoy it, so as not to come to this world in vain." ā
In his eyes, Lao Cai is already a dead man, so he told him to say less, lest he be angry with you before he arrived, and turned his head to Lao Cai and said: "The three of us came together, we should go back together, Lao Cai, don't talk nonsense, whether to go or leave you to decide!" ā
Lao Cai glanced at me and Biaozi meaningfully, although Biaozi's words were a bit excessive, but he still knew the good and the bad, so he said: "You all said so, what else can I say, let's go!" After speaking, he smiled at us rarely, and the label looked very useful.
The three of them summed it up and checked all the equipment before setting off.
I don't know where this cave leads to in the end, I always feel that there is no end, and the area of this entire mountain is only a few thousand square meters, so it stands to reason that I should have walked through it a long time ago. But the cave in front of me still has no end in sight, and I can't help but feel uneasy in my heart, and I don't know where to go if I go on like this.
If the route of this cave is circuitous, then we are just going around in circles inside this mountain, and no one knows where his final destination is, and we can only make it clear by walking the whole way.
The three of them discussed it, but they couldn't find any clue, and they were about to set off after resting for a while, but they heard a scream coming from in front of them, I could hear that it was a man's voice, and it was made in extreme fear, thinking that it was probably Professor Zhang and their people who had an accident, so they hurriedly ran forward.
But I forgot that there was still an injured Lao Cai, so I turned back to help him move forward, and the mark picked up the gun and couldn't help but say that he was going to rush over, I grabbed him and reminded him: "Don't act recklessly, lest you fall for the enemy's tricks." Biaozi nodded and said he knew, and there he went.
Lao Cai and I were a little slower, and when we chased over, we didn't see the person with the mark, I secretly screamed in my heart, and hurriedly shouted a few times, hoping to get his reply, but I saw the mark come out from behind us coldly, but I was shocked.
If you look closely, it turns out that there is also a stone gate in front of him, and I was in a hurry to go to the front just now, but I didn't notice it, and the sign didn't explain much, so I beckoned us to come over.
Naturally, this stone chamber was the same as the one we had before, but as soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, we smelled a very strong smell of blood, and when we looked at the ground, we saw the thrilling picture described by the marker, and the ground was sprinkled with blood all over the place, which continued to a stone platform in front of it.
We followed the traces of blood all the way, and saw a person lying on the stone platform, his body was bright red, his limbs were cut off by Qi Gen, the blood was pouring out, and the diving suit on his body had been torn to pieces. I recognized this man as the naval soldier named Xiaohu from the previous group of members, but his eyes were tightly closed, and he was lifeless.
Presumably the scream just now, it was Xiao Hu before he died, seeing him die so miserably, I feel very bad in my heart, I always feel that there are many ways for a person to die, you can die of old age and illness, or go into battle to kill the enemy and die, but I never thought that someone would die so painfully, and the culprit of all this is just an animal, but its means are extremely vicious, which makes people daunting.
