Chapter 9: Choice 1vs4
"Wait? What are you waiting for? β
Zhang Ning's face is still extremely ugly, the word "wait" in the ancient seven should be a method, but in Zhang Ning's view, it is more like a state, because in such an environment, people often add a "death" after "wait".
In the expectant eyes of several people, Gu Qi stroked his goatee in a chic manner, and looked very proud and said, "Don't worry!" With the old man and I here, you will never be trapped here. β
He smiled and gestured around, "If my guess is correct, then this chamber must be rotating, and the reason why we can't feel it is because it's spinning too slowly." Well, since it is rotating, as long as it turns to a certain angle, this tomb door will definitely open, I believe that when the ancients designed it, they would never have to let it close and not let it open, not to mention, you think, if it can't be opened, how did we just get in? β
Gu Qi smiled and nodded again, as if he had unlocked some great secret, "So, we must wait, maybe in a while, this tomb door will open by itself." β
Perhaps in order to show confidence in his guess, Gu Qi sat on the ground casually after speaking, and had the posture of sitting and watching the scenery.
Emotions can be infected, seeing Gu Qi's confidence, it seems that a big stone has fallen in the hearts of others.
Since it is necessary to wait, then wait attentively, Zhang Ning and Ying Hui also sat down next to Gu Qi, but Duanmu Longchi did not sit down, he has been vigilant since he filled the metal storm with ammunition, which is the habit of soldiers.
Nie Yu didn't sit down, of course he didn't stay where he was, but walked towards the strange coffin wall, everything just now was too thrilling, and no one looked at the coffin wall here like he had observed the previous tomb.
However, before Nie Yu could make a few steps, the Ancient Seven behind him said warningly, "Hey! Boy, I advise you not to go and see it, everything here is too weird, it's better to be quiet, if you accidentally touch something, we're going to be out of luck. β
"That's it! It is! β
Zhang Ning also echoed on the side and said: "Nie Yu, you, you better not go, if something happens, you don't care, but you will kill everyone." β
Maybe it was because she felt that what Zhang Ning said was a little ugly, Ying Hui gently pulled the corner of his clothes, meaning not to say it again.
Who would have thought, Zhang Ning's voice became louder, "Isn't it?" Why are we stuck here? Isn't that because we're here looking for his father? Well, come on, I have nothing to complain about, but he has to follow, and you can see along the way, what help he has. Not only did he not help, but he ......"
As he spoke, he looked at the bandages wrapped around Nie Yu's shoulders, and it was obvious that he still had lingering feelings about the wound, especially the things about the virus that had been discussed earlier.
Ying Hui didn't speak anymore, but shook her head helplessly, Gu Qi kept a confident smile, only Duanmu Longchi glanced at Zhang Ning coldly, although he didn't speak, but he had already expressed his attitude. He didn't want any more weird incidents, but it was clear that as a soldier, he knew that in such an environment, team feud was more terrible than those ghosts.
As for Nie Yu, he just paused slightly, and then continued to walk towards the coffin wall, it is undeniable that he is selfish, because his state of mind is completely different from that of the other four, those four people are completing the task, and he is looking for his father.
For those four people, Nie Yuan was just one of the targets in this mission, and for Nie Yu, that person was his only relative in this world.
He believed that any detail here might be helpful in finding his father, who had also visited the tomb, or who had left a mark in an inconspicuous place, or something that he had with him.
Nie Yu came to the coffin wall, and he used a flashlight to shoot every detail, including the cracks in these sarcophagi, and the words engraved on these coffins.
Of course, in front of these words, Nie Yu was ignorant, he could only read Arabic numerals that represented time, such as 74 ΓΓ or 79 ΓΓ.
"Arabic numerals?"
Nie Yu silently recited this sentence many times in his heart, as if he felt that something was wrong.
At first, he thought that these were the legacy of civilizations from earlier eras, so how could they use Arabic numerals?
He subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the numbers, and suddenly, his head felt as if he had been electrocuted, as if countless thoughts and memories had suddenly drilled into it.
At this time, a bold and strange idea arose in Nie Yu's heart, that is, if the corpses in these coffins were really left by civilizations of an earlier era, then could the so-called Arabic numerals also be invented by them.
As we all know, Arabic numerals were actually invented by the ancient Indians, but could such a concise and effective number, even containing profound philosophical thoughts, really be accomplished by an ancient country at that time?
Thinking of this, Nie Yu suddenly realized that Arabic numerals had actually undergone a series of improvements to achieve the current unified pattern, but what was engraved here was actually the improved writing method.
"This ......"
Nie Yu's heart skipped a beat, and an even bolder idea appeared in his mind, "This shows that the civilization of the earlier era and the civilization of the human race at this time have always communicated, and it is more likely that they are in the middle of the human race." β
This kind of thought made Nie Yu feel that his whole body was in a cold sweat, he didn't know why he had such thoughts, because even he couldn't believe these thoughts, it was just a touch in his mind for a moment, it was a logic that couldn't be expressed at all.
Just when Nie Yu was shocked by his crazy thoughts, a burst of excited screams suddenly came out behind him, and he could hear that it was Zhang Ning's voice.
"It's really open, the door is really open!"
Hearing this voice, Nie Yu was also quite excited, he hurriedly turned his head to look at them, but found that the four people were standing in place at this time, although Nie Yu only saw their backs at this time, but he felt the confusion of the four people.
After a moment of careful observation, he realized what had happened.
It turned out that the door they had been looking for had finally opened, but the opposite side of the door was not the original burial chamber, and what was even worse, it was not the most familiar burial hall, but a burial chamber they had never seen before.
Under the illumination of several bright flashlights, they could vaguely see the situation in the tomb, which was extremely empty, and there was not even a coffin wall, but in the middle of this tomb, there was a huge coffin, and the lid of the coffin was facing them like this, and the gloomy atmosphere was pressing.
Different from the reactions of the four people, Nie Yu at this time was even more excited, because it had been introduced at the meeting before the mission, and the "Zhang Jiong" who escaped once said that his father disappeared after walking into an erected coffin, and at this time, the coffin was erected in the opposite tomb, which made him not excited.
Nie Yu took three steps and made two steps to the side of the four people, ready to go over together.
However, before he could speak, he saw Gu Qi's flashlight inexplicably shining on the wall on their right, and something happened to everyone's surprise and excitement, it turned out that a gate also appeared on that wall, and the opposite side of that gate seemed to be the tomb they dreamed of.
At this point, a real smile appeared on everyone's face.
Obviously, except for Nie Yu, everyone was more interested in the gate on the right, they didn't even greet each other, so they walked towards the gate in unison, of course, Nie Yu also followed them, but he would turn his head from time to time and look at the tomb where the coffin was erected, and his heart could be regarded as mixed.
When they approached the door of the gate on the right, under the illumination of the flashlight, they clearly saw the long-lost tomb and the familiar and unfamiliar words on the wall of the tomb.
The others didn't seem to think about going straight to the graveyard, because then they could leave this dangerous place right away.
"Are weβare we really leaving?"
Nie Yu said timidly, he didn't know if he should be so uninteresting at this time, but he knew that he had to say it now.
The other four slowly turned around, but the emotions conveyed in those eyes were obviously different, including anger, disdain, helplessness, and understanding.
Of course, those four people knew what Nie Yu wanted to do, nothing more than to walk into that coffin and look for his father.
However, at this moment, they are in shock, with the sunny ground on one side and the unknown space on the other, and the result of their choice can be imagined.
"This ......"
Gu Qi was also quite hesitant, he hesitated because he didn't know how to persuade the child who had lost his father, "That, young man, in fact, we also really want to find your father and other missing people, butγBut the situation here is too unexpected for us, it's not that we don't understand you, it's just that this time we think we are prepared, but, obviously, as you can see, we still underestimate the builder of this ancient tomb, I think we should go up first, let's make another plan, this is safer, You tell me? β
Although these words are reasonable, how can Nie Yu be persuaded like this? He hesitated for a moment and said, "But my father has been missing for a month, and if I don't try it now, then ......"
"So what?"
Zhang Ning couldn't bear it anymore, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other tomb door and said, "You said it all, your father has been missing for a month, wake up!" If you want me to see him, he should have died a long time ago, do you want to trade the lives of a few of us for a corpse? Besides, it's one thing to come back with a change or not? β
After listening to Zhang Ning's words, Nie Yu just smiled slightly, but anyone could see his helplessness and sadness at this time, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Oh! Well, if this tomb can really get out, then you can go up first, and I'll just go to find it alone. β
After speaking, Nie Yu turned around helplessly and walked towards the other tomb door.
