Chapter 72: Prometheus

Ma Weiguo, as far as Liang Guodong observed, was full of many indescribable things.

Liang Guodong also has a very strange feeling that there seem to be many unspeakable commonalities between Ma Weiguo and his son Director Ma.

Ma Weiguo is a person, first of all, he feels very yin, he doesn't like to talk much, but he acts extremely decisively and ruthlessly. As far as Liang Guodong knows, he has two lives under his hands. In that turbulent era, Ma Weiguo quickly stood out, stood on his own, and showed superhuman leadership.

Each rebel squad had its own slogan and program. The "red, red, red" led by Ma Weiguo did not take the usual path, and they mainly targeted the local ancestral halls, temples, cemeteries, and ancient tombs, known as the four olds, and smashed the residues of feudal society. This also happens to be in line with Liang Guodong's thoughts.

After Liang Guodong joined the team, he quickly won the appreciation of the commander-in-chief Ma Weiguo and was promoted to right-hand man with his courage and skill as a soldier, as well as his spicinessness and tactfulness in handling practical affairs. The two of them almost ate at the same table and slept on the same kang, like brothers and good friends.

Liang Guodong found an opportunity to tell the origin of the mysterious cave in Lingzi Mountain, of course, there are a lot of unspeakable secrets hidden in it. Ma Weiguo was very interested and immediately made a plan for action. "Honghonghong" began to prepare relevant equipment a month in advance. In order to get the explosives, "Honghonghong" also organized an operation to storm the military factory and grabbed a lot of explosives equipment.

The matter of digging a hole must be carried out in secret, and Ma Weiguo carefully selected ten clever stick boys in the organization to approve the participation in this secret operation.

Because this cave has been destroyed several times, the underground stones are piled up, and the canine teeth are intertwined, if it is suddenly blasted, it is likely to cause permanent and irreversible serious damage, and if it causes a devastating collapse, all the secrets will be buried deep in the ground forever, and there will be no chance of seeing the light of day again.

Ma Weiguo was thoughtful, and in order to carry out the blasting smoothly, he actually sent people to lurk in the city for a few days, caught a military expert, claimed to criticize the fight, and directly brought back the spring water.

As soon as the military experts heard that they were going to blast holes in the ground, they said that they would not do anything. Let Ma Weiguo be locked in a small black room, use a two-finger-wide steel head belt to pump indiscriminately, and threaten to go to the city to arrest his family.

After surveying the terrain, surveying soil samples, and using a modified Luoyang shovel to fish out the following stones from the hole for analysis, the blasting plan was determined.

The process of blasting is not done overnight. Once the explosion is completed, you have to stop for a while, continue to analyze and survey, and then re-measure the explosive equivalent and placement, and then continue to blow up. In this way, one after another, I have been busy for a week. Finally, the cave was blown out of a vertical passage, a large hole in Hesse, which went straight underground.

Ma Weiguo was very excited, but he was also more cautious, and no one knew what was going on down there. He selected a few men as an advance team and went down to the cave to investigate. He went down in the morning, and when he didn't come back at noon, he knew that something bad had happened.

A few more men were sent down, but they did not come out until evening. All these people who went down mysteriously disappeared.

After careful consideration, Ma Weiguo decided to go down to see what was going on himself. His subordinates were all persuading him, and Liang Guodong also pretended to persuade him not to risk his life. That night, Ma Weiguo said a very strange thing to Liang Guodong, which can be regarded as his last words.

He said, "I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of death." Death doesn't mean anything to me.

Early the next morning, Ma Weiguo took the others into the cave, and never heard from him again.

There is reason to believe that they were all wiped out and all died.

Liang Guodong waited for nearly a day, until the evening, before he had to accept this cruel reality. At this time, around the cave, there was a quiet, dead silence. All the people are missing in the cave, but they are the only ones who are still alive.

He thought about it and made a decision to go down the hole as well. Although there is a great danger inside, Liang Guodong is not afraid, because he knows that he is an immortal person.

The cave had been blasted and had been explored by many people in the previous two days, so it was not too difficult to go down. The passage that was opened, although cramped, was more than enough to accommodate him alone.

At first, it went well, but when it went down to a depth of about six or seven meters, there was a strange abnormality.

He heard an inexplicable voice.

The sound was small, shredded, and buzzing. Liang Guodong didn't care at the time, maybe the wind blew through the cracks in the stones, or the underground river flowed through, it could make a similar sound.

As he went a little further down the meter, the sound grew stronger. He heard it clearly, it was a scream.

It was indeed a scream, clearly made by a person. Liang Weiwu said this, his voice trembled a little. He said that he participated in the war, and he was also considered to have come over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he had an experience of life and death, and his heart was like a rock. But when he heard the scream, his body involuntarily trembled violently.

This scream was so miserable that it seemed that someone was suffering greatly physically and mentally, facing collapse, and it came from the throat.

Then another scene almost broke him.

From the depths of the earth, the screams of humans can be heard. Not just one person, it sounds like thousands of people are wailing for help. This kind of sound is extremely empty, mixed with the noisy wind, although it is a little difficult to distinguish, but the bitter wail, the feeling transmitted, made him really feel trembling.

Liang Jiwu said this, and stopped, and the copper lock and I were already stupid. Copperlock coughed and asked with difficulty, "Is it hell in the cave?" ”

"I don't know what to say." Liang Weiwu looked very dazed: "Later, by chance, I saw a documentary about World War II, and there was a scene in it that was very similar to the sound I heard that day. ”

The World War II documentary that Liang saw was about the German concentration camps. The concentration camps were filled with gas chambers, which were converted from bathhouses. During the massacre of civilians, these people were stripped naked and put in the gas chambers of the bathhouse. The poison gas is discharged along the pores, and the person does not die immediately, but has a rather painful process.

When the victims were gassed and in agony and facing death, they let out screams. This scream, uttered by hundreds of people at the same time, echoed through the empty bathhouse.

This kind of comprehensive sound produced by the mixing of various sounds is what Liang Guodong heard in the cave that day.

Liang Zhiwu said that he was in a dark cave at the time, and when he heard this sound, he immediately collapsed, his whole body trembled, and one exaggerated and weird grimace after another appeared in his mind. In the midst of the chaos of thoughts, he instinctively kept himself calm, holding on to the rock with both hands, keeping his balance and not letting himself fall.

After this wave of screams passed, he no longer dared to pretend to be big, and tried his best to crawl out of the bottom of the cave.

When I came out, I was soaking wet, like I had been fished out of water. He developed an infinite fear of this hole, and even had an idea that was considered a great rebellion at the time, could there really be eighteen layers of hell? In a trance, he thought that this cave would lead directly to the legendary Netherworld.

After this incident, he was disheartened, and he was completely doused with cold water, which wiped out all curiosity and desire. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of the inexplicable unknown horror. He even had the idea that if I was tortured as an immortal and could not die due to great suffering, wouldn't this be hell?

What he said reminded me of Prometheus, the god who stole fire for the world. In order to punish him, Zeus tied him to the mountain and let the eagle peck at his heart and liver, and he could not die, and he was tormented every moment.

I used to think that immortality was the ultimate dream of human beings, but now when I look at Liang Weiwu's appearance, I feel that he has an indescribable pity.

Death is terrible, but never dying is not a good thing.

"Many years have passed, and the world has gradually become peaceful, and just when I wanted to leave here, Director Ma came to me. He, an uninvited guest, attended my pretended funeral, came to me and said, "You look like your grandfather, it's carved out of a mold." I didn't pay attention to him, but he took out a pile of information, saying that he had studied my family affairs, checked my background, and found a very strange thing, he said Liang Chao, why don't you have parents? Are they all dead? I was sweating like rain at the time, and I really didn't know why Director Ma was eyeing me. I asked him to leave, and he actually called me Liang Guodong's real name, and said that I had been alive all along. He said he wanted to investigate Liang Guodong's history and dig out my true identity. ”

Liang sighed.

"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that the incident of being shot by the organization back then will be exposed. This matter is like a fish in my throat, and it is the biggest knot in my heart. I had no choice but to follow his command. ”

Copper Lock couldn't help but say: "I'm most annoyed by the practice of blackmailing personal privacy, it's too inferior, it's purely a beast." ”

But you can't help but admit that this method is both damaging and useful, especially for people with knots. There are many people in society who threaten women with fruit photos. I said.

The copper lock said: "Liang Chao, you too." Then Director Ma investigates you, you won't investigate him? I don't believe he's so clean. ”

Liang held back and said: "He really has nothing to attack from his background." He is Ma Weiguo's widow, and he was not born when Ma Weiguo died. When this kid grows up, his methods and thoughts are exactly the same as his dog father, and he is ruthless and vicious. However, in our current society, the better you are, the more you will be a wreck, the more you will be a sling, and you can only suffer and be poor. And the more you despise morality and do things without a bottom line, the better you are, the better you are, and the more beautiful your wife and concubine eat and drink spicy. ”

"Hehe," Copper Lock smiled: "This is the law of the jungle of human beings, the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, no way." The crowing sheep can only eat grass, and only the hyenas, which are inferior to the animals, can run rampant in the forest. ”

I sighed: "Liang Chao, you are still kind." If you change someone else, with skills like you and an immortal body, I don't know what it will be like to toss now, not to mention eating and drinking spicy food, it is possible to be rich and rival the country. Look at you ...... now."

"I can't tell why," Liang said: "I have a very strong feeling that there is a special similarity between Ma Weiguo and Director Ma. It's not like father and son, it's like twins. ”
