Chapter 035: Earthfire Molten City (3)

"But Captain Liu's explanation shocked us immensely......"

After a pause, Lin Pengyi imitated Liu Ru's demeanor and said: "The code name of this archaeological operation organized by the state is 'White Fox', which means 'Fox Dead Head Hill'. ”

"In other words, the archaeological expedition we are going to carry out this time is not a protective archaeological excavation, but a scientific expedition to explore the origins!"

Speaking of this, Lin Pengyi's ordinary-looking face showed a hint of fanaticism.

Captain Liu said that five years ago, the National Archaeological Team discovered a parchment scroll in Lop Nur, on which a mysterious route was recorded...... A route through 'Da Xianbei Mountain'!! ”

"Da Xianbei Mountain?"

Wei Zede asked thoughtfully, "Are you sure that the parchment scroll records the route to the 'Great Xianbei Mountain'?" ”

Lin Pengyi shook his head: "I haven't seen that parchment scroll, but I believe what Captain Liu said!" ”

"It's kind of interesting!"

Wei Zede smiled: "According to ancient records, 'Da Xianbei Mountain' is just a name that has been deified by Tuoba Xianbei, it is not an exact location!" ”

"This is a well-established thing in the archaeological world! Liu Lao, what do you say? ”

Professor Liu Kai'an, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, replied in a deep voice: "That's right! I thought so before I saw the Sheepskin Scrolls......"

"Before you saw the Parchment Scrolls?"

Wei Zede asked tentatively: "That means that everything Captain Liu Ru said is true?" ”

"I can't say."

Professor Liu Kai'an replied, "However, the parchment scroll found in Lop Nur is real! Because of this, it is the responsibility and obligation of our national archaeological team to determine whether the information recorded on the scrolls is true or false. ”

"Alright, let Xiao Lin continue."

Lin Pengyi nodded, he lit another cigarette, and said while smoking: "After hearing Captain Liu's explanation, everyone was full of excitement and excitement, and they were full of expectations for this scientific expedition......

"Third Master Wei, the entire journey of the archaeological team has been extremely smooth until the time I mentioned! But after entering the cave, entering the secret cave in the cave, things took on a new situation......"

Shaking his head, Lin Pengyi seemed to be recalling some unpleasant things.

"Before the archaeological team entered the secret cave, Captain Liu asked me to stop, she seemed to have sensed something......"

"She gave me the ancient coin, and secretly told me that if something happened to the archaeological team, I must report it to the organization immediately! And I'm going to take the ancient coin to inform you......"

Lin Pengyi smiled self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, I didn't care about Captain Liu's words at that time. Because this time, the members of the archaeological team can be said to be selected from all over the country, and our preparation is quite sufficient. If there are no irresistible factors, there will be absolutely no problems! ”

After taking another puff of cigarette, Lin Pengyi's expression suddenly became extremely haggard.

"I regret it! I knew things would turn out like this...... Alas! ”

After settling down, Lin Pengyi continued: "For a period of time after everyone entered the secret cave, there was no situation. Oh yes, we're communicating over walkie-talkies...... Everyone is in good shape. Archaeology, everyone is accustomed to this unknown situation. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Pengyi couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of spit, and he licked his dry lips.

After about an hour, Captain Liu's exclamation suddenly came from the walkie-talkie! I don't know if it was because of the poor signal or something else, but I didn't hear what the captain said. After another while, the walkie-talkie completely lost its effect! After thinking about it, I decided to enter the secret door, intending to pick up everyone's ......"

"Due to the hurry of leaving, I only brought a 'wolf's eye' flashlight and a walkie-talkie, but before I could go too far, a large amount of smoke poured out of the tunnel behind the secret cave, accompanied by a few screams!"

“…… When people get older, they are timid! As soon as I heard the scream, I dropped the walkie-talkie on the ground in shock and ran back in a panic. When I ran out of the cave, my feet slipped and I hit my head on the stone wall and passed out......"

"When I woke up, the cave was gone! If it weren't for the items piled up there, I would almost have thought it was just a spooky dream! After that, I immediately contacted Professor Liu, and went to look for you with the ancient coin......"

"That's all there is to it!"

Looking at Lin Pengyi, who was no longer speechless, the doubts in Wei Zede's heart not only did not decrease, but became more.

"Professor Liu, listen to what you said before, 'I can't even find the location where they camped'......"

Wei Zede asked, "It shouldn't have been found that the secret cave that Lao Lin said, right?" ”

"Yes! Without the Sheepskin Scroll, the Secret Cave would not have been opened. ”

Professor Liu had a sad face: "Every expert who has surveyed it says that it is a rock wall...... Therefore, the state changed its plan and urgently dispatched a new rescue team...... However, judging from the composition of the rescue personnel, this scientific expedition and this rescue have become more and more complicated! ”

Hearing Professor Liu's words, a question in Wei Zede's heart was answered.

"I say, how can a national-level expedition find someone like 'Wei Xiaoning', who is full of the atmosphere of rivers and lakes?"

"Everything has to wait until we get to Gaxian Cave......"

Through the window, Weized noticed that the vehicle he was in had merged with the new rescue team's vehicles.

……

"Professor Liu, we're here!"

Under the driver's reminder, everyone with their own hearts came back to their senses.

When the military jeep came to a stop, Weizel opened the door and walked out.

Standing by the off-road vehicle, Wei Zede raised his eyes and looked around.

I saw that the peaks and peaks here are stacked, the trees are towering, and the pine birch covers the sun. A short distance ahead, on the cliffs, a large natural cave stands out.

"This is the Gaxian Cave......"

Lin Pengyi, who came to Wei Zede's side, said: "Its hole is facing southwest, and it is about five meters high from the flat ground. ”

Wei Zede looked up, and there was no bottom in sight of the swarthy hole.

"Let's go! Let's get over it. ”

In Professor Liu's greeting, Wei Zede and the others stepped forward quickly and came to the outside of Gaxian Cave.

"Professor Liu! Why did you always go out yourself? ”

A middle-aged man who looked like an official greeted him, and he warmly shook Professor Liu's hand and swayed it up and down.

"It's not Liu Ru's girl yet, and there is no news yet......

Professor Liu said worriedly: "I really can't rest assured, old man!" I'm going to take part in this rescue operation anyway......"

Just as Professor Liu was greeting the official, a long military vehicle came from a distance and stopped on the flat ground not far from Gaxian Cave.

Professor Liu looked at the soldiers who were moving quickly and had begun to line up neatly, and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Meng, what's going on?" ”
