Water? I was about to go to the shaft behind the door to check when I heard something coming from inside the shaft.

"It's the sound of stones rubbing." Ah Shun obviously heard it too, said a word, and then protected Linglong behind him.

Everyone was on guard, and after about ten seconds, after a muffled sound, something appeared behind the door.

"Car!" Everyone was a little surprised, this car appeared in front of them like this, which made people feel a little fake.

The scholar was very excited, and hurriedly pulled us in, wanting to get in quickly.

"Don't be busy, just wait. If it weren't for the trap, this car would have come back. We're not going to go in this time. Wait for the next time the car comes, and then make plans. After the fourth master finished speaking, he took out a loaf of bread from his backpack and threw it into the car.

After a few minutes or so, the car rumbled and went up. Everyone was discussing in a low voice, thinking that this scene was incredible, in such an ancient chieftain tribe, how did people lift the device, and how did they achieve it?

Lao Xu thought for a while and said, "The wisdom of the ancients amazed modern people. The novelty, thoroughness, and sophistication of many mechanism designs are beyond the imagination of modern people. For example, Zhuge Kongming's invention of wooden oxen flowing horses, chain crossbows and other devices. However, in the final analysis, power comes from nature, and wind energy, water energy, heat energy, and potential energy are converted into mechanical energy through certain methods. The power of this lifting device is estimated to be inseparable from these kinds. ”

"Just now, the scholar's brother was dripping with water droplets at the bottom of the shaft, and after a while, the car appeared, it seems that this device is related to water." Linglong said.

"Well, Linglong is right. I was thinking about this just now, and I think it is like this, there should be water on this car. The chieftain polished the four walls of the shaft and the outside of the car very smooth, so that the two were as close together as possible, and then used something like honey or fish oil to seal the shaft and the car. An underground river is introduced, which leads to the roof of the car. In this way, with the surge of the underground river, the car can be periodically pushed or lifted to realize the function of moving up and down. Lao Xu's speculation almost perfectly explains the principle of the lifting device.

Everyone thinks what Lao Xu said is very reasonable. It seems that I guessed correctly, this is the "elevator" that leads to the upper level of the stone tower. We sat around and waited for the elevator to come down, admiring the wisdom of the ancients.

After about ten minutes, there was a rumbling sound behind the door. After a few minutes, the car really appeared in front of me, and there was still bread thrown by the fourth master on the floor. Ah Shun picked up the bread, looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, and said, "There is no problem."

The car was not spacious, and it could only squeeze in six or seven people, so it was divided into three waves. Due to the abnormal electromagnetic field here, neither mobile phones nor radio stations can be used normally, so it has to be agreed that the three waves of people will gather at the first exit.

For the sake of insurance, the fourth master is in the first echelon. I, the scholar and Lao Xu are naturally with the fourth master. Linglong also shouted to be with us, Ah Shun couldn't stop him, instructed Ali a few words, and squeezed into the elevator.

After waiting for a few minutes, the elevator roared and rose upward, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into absolute darkness. Ah Shun casually turned on the headlamp. Then the lights showed that the smooth stone walls of the car were hung with specks of green moss. This also proves from the side that Lao Xu's inference is correct, on the stone slab above our heads, there must be water.

I thought it should be slow, but I didn't expect the speed of movement to be okay, and I was relieved to think of the speed of the water. I think it's just a blink of an eye, and the car clicks, like a boat hitting a reef, and it suddenly jams, and then my eyes light up.

A stone door appeared in front of him, and the stone door was hidden, and a bright light passed through. Lao Xu said: "It seems that the car is stuck here by some mechanism." This should be the third layer. ”

We pushed open the open door, and a hall that looked like a second floor appeared in front of us. It was also as bright as day, and there were still no windows in sight, and there were no lighting fixtures. The wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated.

According to the predetermined plan, we all stopped in place and waited for the others to come up and join us. It took about twenty minutes for all the men to reassemble.

There is nothing special about the hall on the third floor, except that the ceiling is a little higher and there are some carvings on the top. At first, I didn't realize it, but if I looked closely, it was actually a pair of eyes carved and protruding from the roof. Being stared at by so many eyes is very infiltrating.

"His ancestors are rigid, we have worked hard to reach this third layer, and we dare to have nothing. Is this worthy of the Sprinkle family? The scholar began to complain again.

"It stands to reason that such a hidden place should have been filled with valuable things before." I also don't think it makes sense.

The fourth master was silent for a while, and said, "If a place is well hidden, but nothing of value is put in. So, what is the most likely scenario? ”

"Trap!" Linglong exclaimed.

"yes, maybe we've been tricked." As soon as the fourth master's words fell, there was a sound in the direction of the roof.

I hurriedly looked up, and all the eye carvings on the ceiling were shaking, and then a lot of black objects were falling down from nowhere, like rain. Those objects fell to the ground and quickly turned over, but they were humanoid monsters one by one! These monsters are blackened throughout, with bulging eyes that glow red, and they are on all fours, with a pair of canine teeth protruding like werewolves.

"This ...... It's the sandfolk! Lao Xu exclaimed. Pull us around and run.

Cao Guy was ruthless, panicked, and immediately took out a gun and shot. The bullet hit the humanoid monster and didn't work at all. These monsters pounced frantically, unusually fast. Before he could react, several Cao guys had already been thrown to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they were torn to a bloody blur, letting out unimaginable screams. But the scream continued for a few moments before it stopped.

The fourth master and the smooth brothers are still resisting with the rest of the guys, but those guys who just died also moved in the blink of an eye! The movement of the bloody stump is also lightning fast.

"These monsters are contagious! If you are bitten, you will mutate! Lao Xu reminded loudly.

I was shooting indiscriminately as I counted the time. The elevator takes about 10 minutes to go back and forth. It takes about five minutes to reach the third floor again, and now it looks like three or four minutes have passed, and as long as you hold on for a short while, you can enter the elevator.

For example, it takes about three minutes to smoke a cigarette, and then a few puffs will only take a minute. But now it's been a long time. One by one, the Cao guys fell, and one by one they stood up, turning into monsters and attacking us. I saw the fourth master swing his soft sword, and two or three heads fell to the side, but the headless body still pounced on us. The machete dance in the hands of the smooth brothers can only barely resist. Linglong's eyes were also red, and she held a ruler-long dagger in her hand to resist. I could only shoot indiscriminately, useless.

The car finally came, and the fourth master and the smooth brothers shouted, let's retreat first. But the car is too small to go in all at once. Linglong insisted on the front, fighting side by side with the fourth master, and swore not to leave. The car doesn't stay too long, and everyone knows that.

Ah Shun shouted angrily, kicked over a monster head-on, turned around with a big hand, pushed the scholar, Lao Xu, me and Ali into the car, and then knocked Linglong unconscious with a hand knife, turned around and said: "Ali, the eldest lady will hand it over to you, as long as you have a breath, you are not allowed to let her lose a single hair!" Brothers, if you are afraid of death, enter the car now, and follow Lao Tzu to do this group of mongrels if you are not a bad seed! ”

Cao had already broken five or six of them, but none of the rest had escaped, and all of them let out a deafening shout and waved their machetes forward. Although this is a group of tomb robbers, humanity always shows itself in the most dangerous times. Whether they are good or bad, at least the word loyalty is reassured.

At this moment, I really want to stay and fight with this group of men. However, the literati have no power to restrain the chicken, and it can only be a drag here. Gritting his teeth, he had to follow the car down.

When they reached the dark room on the first floor, everyone was silent. I pray in my heart for the fourth master and the brothers of the Cao family, and hope that they can come back safely. It takes about ten minutes for the elevator to go up and down, but it only takes two or three minutes to reach the third floor again.

Linglong slowly woke up, thinking of the group of brothers who died tragically, and burst into tears. Unexpectedly, this unruly elf girl is so sympathetic to her subordinates.

After more than ten minutes, the long-awaited rumbling sound finally came from the door. The door is open, the car arrives, and it's empty! Everyone was silent, and the tears could not stop flowing. Ten minutes is the time for the lifting device to run for a week, that is, it can pass twice on the third floor. On two occasions, no one came down, maybe it was already ...... after we came down

Even though the fourth master's skills are superb, Ah Shun and a group of Cao guys are also very brave, but they are facing a group of monsters, monsters that are more powerful than zombies! This monster seems to have no weaknesses, it moves quickly, it still doesn't die when it loses its head, and the injured people will transform into them.

Everyone cried silently for a long time, but Lao Xu broke the silence.

"Perhaps, the legend of Lop Nur is true." Lao Xu Wei smoked a cigarette tremblingly, and then said: "After the Liberation War, a small group of diehards in the Kuomintang army fled to the Lop Nur area and became sand people. This group of bandits made a living by looting the nearby people, and later disappeared under the blows of the People's Liberation Army. It's just that the Lop Nur area is very mysterious, and it is rumored that an ancient city was found in the depths of Lop Nur, and humanoid monsters appeared near the ancient city. These monsters can be confirmed from their clothing to be those sand people, but their bodies have been alienated, and they move quickly, fiercely and cruelly, and the most terrifying thing is that after being bitten or scratched by these monsters, they will also become them. These sand people harmed one side, and it was only when the army was dispatched that they were annihilated. Although it is just a rumor, many border residents believe it. The ones we just met are the same as the legendary sandmen. ”
