Chapter 69: Signal
After solving the crisis of the eyes, everyone looked at each other behind the stone gate, each other's eyes were as red as rabbits, Guidi has always been poisonous and miasma, and we also underestimated the level of poison used by the people of Guidi in ancient times, and almost fell on the road. Tofu shook the empty water bag and muttered, "Damn, there's no water." ”
Zhen Ji wiped the water beads on his face and said, "You can't die if you don't drink water for a day, hurry up, let's go early and return early after finishing our errands." The crowd retracted their thoughts and turned their gaze ahead. Behind this stone gate is a regular tomb road, the first time I have seen such a strange tomb road, there are no tomb bricks around and on the ground, but natural earth caves and earth walls, and there is no trace of any mechanism operation. In this way, when the tomb robbers are digging mushrooms, the robbery hole can easily break in, which is obviously very abnormal in terms of the structure of the tomb or from the level of anti-theft.
I was obviously not alone in this strange tomb path, and I muttered that I had never seen it before.
Along the tomb road without tomb bricks, everyone's eyes looked ahead, and the lights gathered in front of the tomb road, and at such a close distance, we finally saw the fire-like luminous body. It wasn't really an open flame, but something weird, and if you looked closely, it was an old and broken equipment bag, and in the equipment bag, there was something that was shining like fire.
Tofu was surprised: "It looks like it was left by the previous group of people, what is it that is shining?" Could it be a flashlight? It's been fourteen years, what flashlight is so powerful? ”
Zhen Ji looked very excited, he was young and bold, fearless, rubbed his hands, and said, "Just look at it." With that, he rushed to the front, crouched down in front of the equipment bag, and uncovered the backpack. At this time, we also gathered around the equipment bag, and when we looked at it, we immediately found that the equipment bag was full of blood, tatters, and there were black food and bulging water bags inside.
Our eyes did not linger on these useless things, but immediately stared at the luminous body, and the moment we saw that thing, Zhen Ji exclaimed in surprise, looked at Tofu and said, "You kid, I really have to call you a prophet in the future." "Because that glowing thing turned out to be a flashlight.
The reason why it is said is that it is not a flashlight per se, but an old carbine, clearly showing signs of modification, and a small lighting device has been added to it, and now, it is this small lighting device on the body of the gun that is glowing.
I stared at the old gun in front of me, and I was stunned for a while, and I couldn't help but lift the gun up and take a closer look. This thing is very old, and there are traces of friction on the body of the gun, the model is very old, and the modified small lighting equipment is also more than ten years old, which can be seen from the small light bulbs gathered inside.
Isn't that right?
It's not just me, everyone is confused and has a strange look.
Obviously, this equipment bag should be left behind by Grandpa's team, and the bag is stained with blood, so the person who left the equipment bag is likely to have suffered some accident. There were no bodies around, and I guess the gear bag was lost during the escape.
Could it be that there is any danger around here?
I opened my head and looked around, except for the fact that there were no tomb bricks, which seemed strange, the rest of the tombs were normal, even more normal than most tombs, and there was no trace of the mechanism at all, what danger could I encounter here?
Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is, how can this light be on now?
You know, it's been 14 years, huh?
When everyone was dumbfounded, I immediately turned on the battery switch above the lighting equipment, and as soon as I turned it on, I revealed the No. 5 battery inside, which had been deformed, swollen, and emitted a bad smell. The tofu monster next to me shouted: "The battery is already like this, how does it light up!" As soon as I finished speaking, I don't know if it was because I opened the battery cover, or for some other reason, the light suddenly went out.
This scene came so suddenly, I subconsciously threw the carbine in my hand, and it happened to land on the tattered, bloodstained equipment bag. With this throw, the rotten battery inside rolled out, gurgling and rolling a few times, revealing the black substance inside.
Gu Da Meinu looked a little nervous, she had always been observant, and at this moment she felt that things were unusual, and whispered: "I think this place is wrong, this burden...... What's wrong, let's get out of here first. Zhen Rui nodded, his eyes moved to the strange gun, and he stepped forward to go deeper into the tomb, but at this moment, the lighting equipment, which had no battery, suddenly lit up again.
It was still a dim light, and the pillar of light the thickness of the baby's arm formed a strange contrast with the empty battery compartment behind the pillar of light. In an instant, Zhen Ji's originally excited face was as if he had been slapped in the face.
It...... Why is it lit up again?
What's the trick on you?
I just felt the chill swishing from my back to my neck, and it was as if there was a strange force at work around us, which made our movements pause. At this moment, the lighting suddenly flickered, like an eye, and as if something was wrong.
Of course, in the current weird situation, a failure can no longer be considered a failure. Gu Wenmin gasped in surprise and whispered, "This gun...... It ...... "For a while, Gu Da Beauty, who has always been quick-thinking, couldn't find a suitable word." My heart was pounding, but fortunately, I had experienced a lot of strange things in the past few months, and I didn't panic too much at this time. In this case, too much speculation will only disturb the mind, and before there is any real danger, I decided to ignore this inexplicable phenomenon, so I said to the people, "Let's go, let's get out of here first." ”
Suddenly, the silent Zhong Gong spoke up and said, "Wait, this is not right. "I had gotten up and was about to leave with the crowd, and his words made me wonder.
Wrong.
Nonsense, the ghost knows that something is wrong, do you still need to say this?
Zhong Gong looked at our gaze, turned his head sideways and whispered a few words to Zhen Rui, his voice was a little blurred, but I vaguely heard a few words, what military, what signal and so on. Immediately afterward, he saw Zhen Rui squinting his eyes and said to Zhong Gong, "Then what does this mean?" ”
Zhong Gong pursed his lips slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's an early warning, and there is a call for help." ”
Tofu was confused by the mysterious actions of these two people, and he immediately shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, we're a team, you two don't separate the group, don't hide what you have to say, what kind of warning?" What military? Why did it suddenly go to the military? Zhong Gong glanced at Tofu, and had no intention of answering, he had always only listened to Zhen Rui's orders.
At the moment when Tofu finished asking this, the light suddenly stopped again, but it didn't stop for long, and after about ten seconds, it flashed again. After observing these few minutes, I suddenly discovered that the flickering of this light is actually regular in terms of fast and slow rhythm.
Soon, I summed up this rule, which is: BaaaB, that is, one long, three short, one long rhythm.
I suddenly felt that this rhythm made me a little familiar, and at this time, Zhen Rui answered this confusion, and through his words, I knew that Zhong Gong was actually from the army. It is strange that a person from the army would end up being a subordinate to a big man who is fighting backwards. It is important to know that veterans are on the waiting list, and within three years of discharge, they can be transferred back to the army at any time in the event of war or other emergencies. Therefore, let's not talk about the principle of being a soldier, normally speaking, those who are in this line of work will not let such people stay around.
It seems that something may have happened between these two people.
According to Zhen Rui, the frequency of the flashing of this lighting device now happens to be a set of internationally accepted military passwords, which are very simple, if expressed by sound, the front and back sounds are long, and the middle three sounds are short. This is a very simple universal distress code, which is similar to the meaning of SOS.
After listening, Tofu hissed, looked at Zhen Rui, and said thoughtfully: "As soon as we move forward, it suddenly warns, is it reminding us not to move forward?" ”
Gu Wenmin frowned slightly and said, "This is not the point, the point is, who sent this early warning signal?" Her words made everyone silent, and for a while, only the sound of our breathing could be heard in the tomb. Lighting equipment without batteries has its own warning signals, and at this time, anyone will think on some bad level.
Tofu swallowed his saliva, looked cowardly, craned his neck and looked around in fear, leaned over to me, and said, "Will there be soft zongzi?" "Soft rice dumplings? What he said was really subtle, and it was good that he didn't directly say that there were ghosts.
Zhen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "At least for now, this soft zongzi has no intention of harming us. Zhen Ji nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise it won't be a warning signal, it's a threat signal......" Everyone spoke, their eyes involuntarily looked ahead, the tomb road was dark and gloomy, I don't know where it leads, is it warning us not to go forward?
What if there are really soft rice dumplings? Who is this zongzi?
I looked around, and there was not even a ghost in sight but us. At this time, Gu Wenmin said softly: "Do you want to ask for incense?" "It seems that after a while with our group of Tufu who dig mushrooms, Officer Gu has also learned to light lamps and ask for incense. A thought popped up in my heart, and my heart said: So far, we haven't even seen a single corpse, to say that a soft zongzi suddenly appeared, it is inevitably a little unreasonable, zongzi? There has to be a beginning, right?
