Chapter 039: Earthfire Molten City (7)
The sound of scattered footsteps and heavy panting echoed through the dark tunnel, and the light of several flashlights swept back and forth.
At this time, an hour has passed since the rescue team found the walkie-talkie.
It stands to reason that the location of the archaeological expedition is getting closer and closer, and everyone in the rescue team is on high alert!
Nervous, depressed, expectant, calm...... All kinds of emotions were revealed on the faces of the people.
Suddenly, there was another rustling sound from the tunnel ahead.
"Alert!"
It was still Captain Zheng Hongzhi who led a soldier to search.
Soon, the two of them returned to the rescue team with another walkie-talkie that had been found.
However, the faces of the two of them were very strange.
"Comrade Lin Pengyi, this walkie-talkie should be yours, right?"
Captain Zheng handed the walkie-talkie he held in his right hand to Lin Pengyi.
"Oh my God! That's impossible! I...... I haven't come this far......"
After Lin Pengyi took the walkie-talkie, he just glanced at it, and then replied in a panic.
Apparently, the walkie-talkie that had just been discovered was the one he had left in the tunnel.
Everyone in the rescue team looked at each other, and they couldn't make any reasonable explanation for this unconventional and strange event.
And at this time, Wei Zede's heart was beating suddenly! There is a possibility, in mind.
Wei Zede came to Captain Zheng's side and whispered a few words.
Captain Zheng Hongzhi nodded hesitantly, and he said to everyone: "Comrades, everyone take a rest here first!" Comrade Wei told me that Comrade Li Daoyi accidentally dropped something just now...... We'll go back and look for it, and we'll be right back. ”
Li Dao opened his mouth, but under Wei Zede's gaze, he tacitly did not speak.
"Lieutenant, you can help find it too!"
So, Wei Zede, Li Daoyi, Lieutenant Du Xuyao, and Captain Zheng Hongzhi, the four of them turned around and turned back towards the road they came from.
Qi Wei and Qi Meng looked at our figures leaving in a hurry, although they knew what was happening, but the two of them were speechless.
After leaving the brigade for some distance, Captain Zheng Hongzhi said in a low voice: "Comrade Wei, tell me your speculation!" ”
Wei Zede also whispered: "Don't worry! Let's go back ......."
Several people quickened their pace and hurried behind Wei Zede.
Five minutes later, several people actually walked to the end of the tunnel!
"What's going on? Blocked in the way? ”
Lieutenant Du Xuyao's face changed greatly, and the hearts of the rest of the people also "chuckled".
Wei Zede said indifferently: "It seems that my guess is not wrong......
The attention of the other three was all attracted by what Wei Zede said.
"Comrade Wei! Don't sell it, talk about it! What the hell is going on? Lieutenant Du Xuyao asked urgently.
Wei Zede looked at Captain Zheng Hongzhi and said, "Captain Zheng, do you have anything to say to us?" ”
Captain Zheng Hongzhi's face changed slightly, but he didn't answer.
Wei Zede continued to ask: "The situation we are encountering now is what the saying is 'ghost retaining wall'!" However, most of it is found in ancient tombs......"
"Why did we encounter it?"
"Captain Zheng, I hope you can explain openly and honestly!"
Zheng Hongzhi's complexion quickly changed a few times, and he sighed before explaining: "Okay, the name of 'Wei Sanye' is really not given for nothing......
"That's right! This is the gateway to the Lost City, which is a massive tomb! ”
"In the legend of the Tuoba Xianbei clan, this 'Lost City' is the deified 'Great Xianbei Mountain'!"
Lieutenant Du Xuyao's mouth opened wide, with a shocked expression: "It turns out that 'Da Xianbei Mountain' is an ancient tomb...... It's incredible! ”
Wei Zede rubbed the stubble that appeared on his chin with his hand, and asked thoughtfully, "What about the heirloom jade seal?" It can't be made up, right? ”
"This ...... Judging from the information deciphered from the parchment scroll, the jade seal of the country or the information about the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country was indeed placed in this 'lost city'! ”
Wei Zede suddenly said: "Oh! In this way, the country doesn't know if there is really a jade seal here? ”
"Yes!"
Captain Zheng nodded: "This is also the purpose of this scientific expedition, it is up to us to determine the whereabouts of the heirloom jade seal." ”
"Let's go back! Otherwise, people will be panicked......"
Wei Zede said as he walked back.
"That'...... So what to do here? ”
Lieutenant Du Xuyao asked, "We have no way out!" ”
"There's no way back?"
Wei Zede paused: "Since there is no way out, let's move forward!" 'The Road to Heaven'...... I'm sure of that! ”
Half an hour later, the four of us returned to the rescue team.
"Xiao Ning, have you found something?" Professor Liu asked.
"Professor Liu rest assured, he has found it! If everyone is rested, we will continue to go. ”
Wei Zede replied without changing his face.
"Humph! If you're such a big person, you'll lose things......"
Don't think about it, this must have been said to Huang Bin, who has always been unhappy with Wei Zede and others.
After this episode, the rescue team moved on.
And Wei Zede and others who knew that there was 'no way out' remained silent, for fear that this news would bring a heavy blow to morale.
Although Wei Zede and the others behaved very normally, their behavior of investigating clues on the way was still looked at by some people, and Lin Pengyi was one of them.
Something that should happen will always happen, and such a big thing can't be hidden for too long after all, not to mention that everyone in the rescue team is not a simple role......
After another hour of advancing the procession, doubts were finally raised.
"Captain Zheng! Something is wrong......"
Lin Pengyi, who was in the middle of the team, asked loudly, "We have already walked this route several times!" ”
"We're spinning in circles!"
With Lin Pengyi's questioning, the team immediately became noisy.
"Yes! I also noticed ......"
Professor Liu looked thoughtful.
"Just now the four of you went out, and I felt that something was wrong! What's going on? We have the right to know the truth! ”
Huang Bin asked unceremoniously.
"Xiaobin, if you have something to say! Everyone is gay, you pay attention to your tone! ”
Professor Liu noticed that his student's mood had not been quite right, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"I'm sorry! Teacher, I'm out of shape......"
Huang Bin also knew that his behavior was a little too intense.
Captain Zheng looked at Wei Zede before briefly explaining the dilemma faced by the team to everyone.
"Ghost retaining wall? How is this possible? ”
The members of the rescue team began to talk.
