Chapter 54: The Road to the King's Tomb (3)
The person I was talking to was a professor in the archaeological team, also surnamed Jiang, but Jiang Ziya's Jiang, I don't know what it was called, but they all called him Professor Jiang.
Professor Jiang's words suddenly made me think a lot, he said that there are some things that cannot be touched, so what is it? He wouldn't let us break through that passage, but from my current information, I can be sure that the Kunlun Gate on the west side of the Tomb of the Western Night King is probably at the end of this passage, and it has come this far, so it is impossible for me to turn around immediately for the sake of this professor's words.
However, I still remember Professor Jiang's words, there are six people in their archaeological team, Liu Tianfu asked the two guys to watch it full-time, and he also said a word to me when he left, he said that there are some things that cannot be seen, but they can be listened to.
I nodded at him with infinite gratitude, and then whispered to Jiang Yuan: "Among us, you have the best ears, pay attention later, and report as soon as there is any movement." β
Jiang Yuan nodded obediently, and then said slowly, "Report? β
I covered my mouth, "No, no, say it, say it." β
Zhang Yang smiled, tightened the equipment on his body, and dragged Liu Tianfu into the passage together, while I helped Jiang Yuan to follow, and the others followed behind, with a distance of two meters from each other, so as to ensure that they would not be caught in the net when they encountered danger.
The passage is very clean, clean can be described as spotless, the child on Jiang Yuan's back is very quiet all the way, his big black eyes are dripping around, and from time to time he is coquettish lying on Jiang Yuan's back and teasing him, but Jiang Yuan, not only is he not angry, but he also enjoys the process, and the interaction between the old and the young makes people look very warm.
I have been fond of children since I was a child, and the more I look at this child, the more I see it, the more I see them playing very well, and I have itchy hands for a while, but when this hand just touched the child's face, the child actually told me not to touch him.
I was stunned for a moment, so I asked him why, and he said very seriously, "You are not human." β
Jiang Yuan stopped, and I was stunned on the spot.
"What do you say, stinky boy?" I'm a little angry.
The people behind followed, and when they saw us standing here motionless, they thought it was an accident, and they were ready to fight one by one, pulling the bolt and drawing their knives, I held the miner's lamp and shook my hand behind me, Jiang Yuan glanced at me, and then continued to walk forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, everything was peaceful at the moment, and there was no black fog or murderous ghosts or anything like that, as soon as the tense nerves were relieved, I heard gunshots in front of me, and at the same time, Jiang Yuan also stopped, stopped me with one hand, and whispered: "Stand still, there are many people in front." β
I turned on a cold firework and threw it over, just above their heads, and a thick black fog appeared in the bright light of the cold fireworks, like artificial dry ice in a TV series, rushing towards this direction one by one.
Zhang Yang and Liu Tianfu had already fired more than a dozen shots, and I shouted at them to let them come back, but as if they hadn't heard, they kept firing their guns at the thick fog, and the light of the cold fireworks gradually weakened, and when it completely disappeared, it would be extremely dangerous.
I had no choice but to throw another cold firework, but this time the angle was not good, maybe my vision had an illusion, the cold fireworks were still very close, I wanted to run over to support them, but I was stopped by the child, he said to me full of anger: "You are the most precious of us, you can't go." β
I couldn't laugh or cry, my heart said that I disliked me just now that I was not a person, and now I said that I was the most precious, it seems that this child's words can't be believed, I turned around and said to Jiang Yuan that he wanted him to wait in the back and observe the surrounding situation at any time, but I didn't expect that Jiang Yuan also stopped me from going, he said that there were really many people in front, and they didn't want to retreat, but they couldn't move at all.
When I heard the three words, I immediately thought of their appearance just now, although my body was leaning back, but my footsteps were indeed moving forward, I pulled out the climbing rope in my backpack and was about to rush over, but Jiang Yuan stopped me again, I thought he was going to stop me again, but I didn't expect him to just give me a blindfold and said, "Listen." β
I put on an blindfold, and just two steps later, I found that my footsteps were messy within four or five meters in front of me, if I wasn't blindfolded, I must not be able to listen quietly, Zhang Yang and Liu Tianfu didn't know what method they used to break free from the control of the black mist, he shouted while retreating: "Exit, quickly." β
The people behind heard his shouts and immediately began to retreat, but after a while, there was a chaotic burst of gunfire behind him, some people shouting that there were ghosts, and some people shouted that there were zombies.
I had a big head, so I looked for an eyepatch and turned on the miner's lamp to the brightest, and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, check all the lighting equipment in your hands to ensure the highest illumination." β
Within a minute, all the lights had been turned on, and the three-meter-wide passage was suddenly lit up.
The black fog on both sides was approaching step by step, but we couldn't see anything but the black fog.
I scurried to the back and grabbed a guy and asked him, "Who just shouted zombies?" β
A guy with slender eyes pointed at the black fog and looked at me in horror, shouting, "There is a zombie behind the fog, he just caught me, you see." β
I squeezed over and saw three scratches on the back of his hand, and. Black hairs have begun to grow on these scratches, and the flesh has begun to turn white, making people feel a little disgusting to see.
"Have you ever seen what it looks like to scratch you?" I asked him.
The guy was trembling and obviously frightened, he stared at me, suddenly pushed me down, and yelled: "It's a ghost, it's really a ghost, he's pulling me, he's going to pull me into that black fog, I'm going to get out of here, you, you take me away." β
He pounced on me like crazy, and I dodged with a short body, but the guy standing next to me became my scapegoat, and the mad guy pounced on the man and bit him down on the neck so hard that the guy screamed and I saw blood spurt out.
The people present were frightened, especially the archaeological team behind, those people had long been blue-faced, but they were trained professionals, although they were also afraid and trembling in the face of danger, but they were still just leaning on each other, and there was no panic.
I saw in the crowd that Professor Jiang was looking at me at the moment, I went over and dragged him out, ignoring any of his words and dragging him to the front, and at this time Zhang Yang and Liu Tianfu also retreated, Zhang Yang had a wound on his arm, but it was a gunshot wound, maybe someone misfired and injured him by mistake.
Liu Tianfu let a few of his men with heavy machine guns block the front, and we discussed countermeasures in the middle, I threw Professor Jiang in the middle and asked him: "Teacher Jiang, I know that you are an authority in the archaeological field, and now the situation is critical, please tell us about this place." β
My words were very tactful, I knew that this person surnamed Jiang would definitely understand what I meant, but in fact it was true, he understood the meaning of my words, but he said: "History, we must respect history, there are some things, I will not say to anyone until they are verified by science." β
Zhang Yang lifted Professor Jiang up by the collar of his neck with one hand, looked at him with sharp eyes, and said, "Old man, don't talk nonsense, if you know something, say it quickly, otherwise I will throw you over there." β
Professor Jiang turned his head to look at the approaching black fog over there, and then said righteously: "What is the difference between you and a ruffian in doing this, you don't deserve to know, I just said it, and I won't tell you." β
Zhang Yang pointed the muzzle of the gun at Professor Jiang's head, "What did you say?" I'm not worthy? β
I immediately stopped in the middle of, "Calm down, calm down." Pulled Zhang Yang's hand aside and pulled him aside, then looked at Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan seemed to sense my intentions, he walked to Professor Jiang with the child in his arms, and said softly: "Professor Jiang, I know you have your principles, but we have come here, you just don't care about your own lives, you don't care about the lives of our people, but you always have to worry about the lives of those students, I know, those five people are your protΓ©gΓ©s, they are only one last internship report away from their dreams, Can't you see the panic in their eyes and the desire to live? β
After pondering for a moment, Professor Jiang suddenly pointed at me and said, "I can only tell him, you all have to avoid it." β
Zhang Yang said sharply: "Avoidance, how to avoid?" Say it quickly, the front can't stand it. β
I said again, "Professor, the situation is urgent." β
But this time, Professor Jiang did not compromise, he insisted on only speaking to me, and he also had one condition, that is, no matter what the outcome was, I would join his archaeological team and not be allowed to enter the Tomb of the Western Night King. β
This condition made me cry and laugh a little, but the situation was urgent, and I didn't think much about it, so I immediately nodded and agreed.
In the midst of the dense gunfire, Professor Jiang and I were surrounded by a circle of people, and the whole team tried their best to build a temporary "secret room" for us, and Professor Jiang and I sat on the floor while he placed my notebook between us.
What he said to me was only three or four minutes, and during these three or four minutes, my heart stopped beating several times, of course, it didn't really stop, but it just felt like I was suffocated a few times.
