Chapter 12: Discovering the Thief Hole (Part II) (Revised Version)
The entrance to the cave is hidden under a stone monument, about a meter in diameter, and a 70-kilogram person like me can just get into it.
After Jiang Yuan inspected some gravel and traces of manual excavation at the edge of the robbery cave, he suddenly asked me, "Is there anyone in Boss Xiao's family who is proficient in this way?" ”
I thought about it briefly and said, "No, my uncle, third uncle and aunt are all serious businessmen, and they never get involved in these things. ”
Jiang Yuan frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "This thief hole has existed for decades, and the person who dug this thief hole must be a master, and I am afraid that there is another hidden reason for deliberately hiding it later." ”
Li Laosi slowly walked to the entrance of the thief cave, threw down a spherical flash and glanced into the cave with the help of its own extremely strong beam, and said: "Drawing a circle is his usual technique, and we are lucky that we have found the right place." ”
Jiang Yuan and Xu Moyan showed a faint smile on their faces after hearing this, while the other guys were extremely happy when they heard it, and a few even cheered, as if they had found the golden phoenix Zhaowen jade.
The grasshopper prepared the equipment for the next moment, and then sat down next to me and silently looked at the dark hole with a very serious expression on his face.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yuan was the first to jump out of the cave after proofreading the time with us, followed by Xu Moyan and me, and finally Grasshopper and Liang Jun.
This deployment is a ladder, and the five of us can be said to be the backbone core of this team, regarded as the first team.
Li Laosi, his buddies and Kang Yan formed the second team, which was mainly responsible for material support and acting as a backup force for the first team in case of emergencies.
The third team is ground support, and although it does not receive any signals, Jiang Yuan's company has just developed a new type of signal receiver two months ago, which is placed every 500 meters. It works just like the torch relay of the Athens Olympic Games, the signal is passed down one by one through this instrument, although it can solve the problem of signal transmission in the mountains or underground, but it also has a fatal weakness, that is, the signal is unstable, and there will be wrong information due to changes in the surrounding environment.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to risk using this kind of instrument, but he considered that there was a very likely invisible danger in the general's tomb thirty meters underground, so for safety reasons, he decided to use it after discussing with Li Laosi, but it was limited to the transmission of text, which could reduce the risk of errors or signal interruptions in the signal transmission process.
The cave is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is a very strange way, when we descend to 12 meters, we suddenly feel a cold wind blowing from the bottom up, and Jiang Yuan at the bottom lights up a small miner's lamp, and then jumps to the ground silently.
I also lit the miner's lamp above my head, and jumped down at the same time, and when I landed, I noticed that there was a very strange layer of material on the surface below, like fine particles.
Xu Moyan, who jumped down a minute ago, suddenly shouted, it was an extremely frightened cry, she seemed to have encountered something terrible, Jiang Yuan and I immediately drew our guns to protect her, and at this time, Gnats and Liang Jun also jumped down, and the moment they stood firm, they had already opened fire.
"You don't have long eyes, don't hurt your own people by mistake." I fell on the ground and screamed.
"Don't talk, listen."
Jiang Yuan pressed my shoulder to signal me to silence, and at this time, in addition to the sound of gunshots, there was a sigh in my ears, as if it was an old man telling his tragic past.
Gnats and Liang Jun also joined our "crawling clan" at this moment, none of the five dared to act rashly, nor did they dare to speak, the sigh was getting closer and closer, more and more clear, I cursed in my heart, this is the worst luck since I started fighting, I just went down to the thief cave and encountered the situation.
After about five minutes, the sigh suddenly disappeared, and I slowly raised my head and sat on the ground, touching my neck and suddenly feeling wet, and my fingers had a sticky feeling, like some kind of liquid.
I felt bad, and whispered to the others: "Everyone, we didn't choose the right time to fight, which disturbed the seniors in this tomb, the so-called being a humble person, we should be humble, and we must be resolute." ”
The gnats were the first to react, lying on the ground like a four-legged snake and quickly crawling forward, Jiang Yuan and Liang Jun also followed, Xu Moyan and I climbed forward for more than ten minutes, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone behind him, and when I looked back, I saw a black shadow standing upright in front of us.
The burly general, dressed in heavy armor, stood motionless across from us, his head tilted unnaturally to one side, his eyes staring straight at us, his breathing rate was slow, but each breath was very heavy, and he had a palm-sized bronze mirror hanging from his chest, and the surface of the mirror was illuminating.
"Who are you?" The armored general spoke suddenly.
When the gnats heard this, they immediately shouted: "Damn, he is actually alive, boss, this is the legendary live zongzi!" ”
I slapped him on the back of the head and scolded, "What kind of zongzi, that's called an ancient corpse." ”
Jiang Yuan blew the whistle impatiently, one long and three short, which means that the situation is critical and cannot be warned.
Liang Jun drove the submachine gun into combat readiness, and we began to slowly retreat, at this moment, the people of the second team also jumped down from the robbery hole, but they didn't know the situation here, and when they saw us curled up together and a big man standing opposite, someone immediately asked: "Boss Jiang, what's wrong?" ”
When he spoke, the general reacted immediately, and when his body did not move, his head slowly turned back 360 degrees, and the seven people in the second team turned on all the lighting equipment, and at the same time I could see the appearance of this general clearly.
Dressed in black clothes and heavy armor, with a moon-slashing sword at his waist, and stepping on seven-star combat boots, he is seven feet tall and burly, which is very similar to the general of Qin Wanjun described in the history books.
Li Laosi is well-informed, he did not panic the moment he saw this living corpse, but stood at the front of the team and instructed his team members to slowly disperse and turn off all the bright lighting equipment.
With a bang, a slight vibration was felt under my feet, and a large number of terracotta warriors continued to pour in all directions, and these terracotta warriors were walking towards us in square steps, and the grasshoppers saw it and shouted: "This, isn't this the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang?" ”
Without waiting for me to speak, Jiang Yuan took the first step to shoot the head of a terracotta warrior, and his body still continued to move forward, the second shot and the third shot, the arms and legs of this terracotta warrior were broken, and finally his body was still crawling forward, but he didn't last long before being trampled to pieces by the terracotta warriors behind.
Jiang Yuan fired several shots in succession, hitting them at the knees of both legs, the purpose of this was to slow down the movement of the front row of soldiers and also cause chaos among the back row of soldiers, the most effective way to eliminate these brainless walking dead is either to use explosives or let them kill each other.
I watched the chaos in the terracotta camp across from me, and was glad at why my great mind could always play a vital role at a critical moment, when the terracotta warriors had already surrounded me. Although they have no intelligence, their destructive power is incomparably huge, and the disabled terracotta warriors in the front row are trampled into slag by them every minute, and the offensive is only a few minutes later.
A few of us started to shoot with guns, but this time it didn't work, because I found that the terracotta warriors standing in the back row were wearing armor, but don't underestimate the forging process of thousands of years ago, and the armor's defensive ability is not inferior to today's body armor.
Jiang Yuan pulled the gnatfish and shouted as he stepped back: "This is the Underworld Warriors, they are neither alive nor dead, they are the first line of defense of the entrance tomb, Li Siye, you take the second team to go up first, and when we lead them away, you will come down and act according to the plan." ”
Everyone else was stunned, only Li Laosi responded to Jiang Yuan loudly, while Kang Yan insisted on being with us, she ignored Jiang Yuan and Li Laosi's obstruction, and single-handedly broke into the encirclement of the armored general and hundreds of terracotta warriors, the situation was critical, I jumped into the encirclement under the cover of Jiang Yuan and Liang Jun's machine guns to meet her, and by the time I brought her back to the first camp, both of us were already unclothed.
