Chapter 723: The Black Snake in the Cave
The cave that the soldier spoke of was halfway up the hill on the other side of the village. Outside the entrance of the cave, as the soldiers said, there were some metal particles scattered, but the amount was not large, because the soldiers had been instructed in advance, and these soldiers did not recklessly burrow into the cave, but after reporting, they kept a certain distance from the entrance of the cave with a flamethrower.
Soldiers are just good. Obey orders, don't come nonsense, if you rush in, maybe we'll have to face a few monsters covered in metal pillars by now.
"Officer Shen, isn't this lady wearing a protective suit?" For the sake of safety, Feng Kun and I both put on protective clothing, but Gui Die didn't wear it.
"No, she's not afraid of those things." I replied casually, and was about to go into the cave to investigate, but was stopped by Feng Kun.
I looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he was going to do, but I saw him glance at Guidie, and said to me in a low voice: "This lady is not wearing protective clothing, even if her physique is relatively special, I think, it is better not to go in with us, so as not to be unnecessarily harmed, after all, protecting the people of this land is what we Chinese soldiers should do." Feng Kun bit the word "China" very hard.
I understand. Gui Die, who is dressed in a kimono and has a kind of Dongying flavor in every gesture, is obviously not Chinese, Feng Kun is worried that Gui Die will go in with us, see something that should not be seen, and even quietly bring out something that should not be brought out. After all, as the old saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel, she's the kind you can trust, and you can treat her as my appendage, not as a person." For my remarks, Gui Die naturally had no dissatisfaction, and nodded very obediently.
"This, okay, since Officer Shen thinks so, I don't have anything to say, what should I do next, do you want to go into the cave to see?" I insisted on returning to Butterfly to follow, and Feng Kun had no choice, after all, I was the commander-in-chief here.
"Guidie and I will go in and take a look, you guys are guarding the door, if the grit moves, it will all burn." As I spoke, I put one hand on Gui Die's waist, Gui Die smiled slightly, and his body emitted a soft white light, and when the white light dissipated, it had turned back into the village and was caught in my hand.
"This ......" All the soldiers around who saw this scene, including Feng Kun, all had a wide-eyed expression, when had they ever seen a living beautiful young woman turn into a knife.
"yes, that's what she is, that's why I said don't worry. Well, give me a flamethrower. Looking at their surprised expressions, I smiled, let Gui Die show his body, in addition to using it, the most important thing is to shock these soldiers, for people outside the military system, they are usually very disdainful, even if my police rank is converted into a military rank, it is one level higher than Feng Kun.
Hanging it around my waist, I asked the soldier next to me for a flamethrower, after all, my left hand was now covered by a protective suit, and I couldn't cast spells normally. And even if I could, the Extreme Fire Technique would require too long to prepare, and it would not be suitable for use under the premise that this situation is unknown.
Feng Kun offered to enter the cave with me, but I vetoed, I knew that the soldiers and officers of their special operations company were all very good, but there was always a commander left on the scene. I asked him to send two warriors with me, and told him to seal the cave as soon as anything happened to me, and not to worry about my safety.
I say this because I suspect that this cave is the source of the metallization of the people in the village. You must know that it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary village to happen for no reason, and if there is such a hidden danger in the village, it is unlikely to wait until now to break out, after all, I have not seen any construction such as building a house or digging a well in the village before, and it is impossible to get it from something dug out of the ground.
Now that you have this cave, you can basically turn the suspicion to it.
With two heavily armed soldiers, he walked into the cave, which seemed to be quite deep, and, when he walked in a little, he could see that there were traces of artificial excavation. However, this is not surprising, in the 60s of the last century, our country carried out large-scale activities to prepare for war and prepare for famine, and air-raid shelters were dug in many places.
The flashlights in the hands of the two soldiers were very bright, and to be honest, I was a little uncomfortable, after all, my yin and yang eyes can see things in the dark. Especially through the lenses of the gas mask, the angle of view is very small, and if it weren't for the fear of sucking in those things again, I would really want to take them off.
After walking about a dozen meters, the cave turned a corner, and at this point, we were completely out of sight of the soldiers waiting outside.
"Officer Shen, pay attention to safety, Xiao Wu, Xiao Zhang, protect the leader." Feng Kun's voice came from the built-in communicator, and I didn't answer, but the two soldiers answered "yes" in a low voice.
After walking seven or eight meters, there was another turn in front of me, and I raised my hand to stop the two soldiers from moving forward, and motioned for them to temporarily extinguish the flashlight. I had just vaguely seen a flash of light over there.
After the flashlight went out, I couldn't help but gasp, there was a right turn in front of me, but on the left wall, there were two red lights that could not be extinguished.
One soldier patted me on the shoulder, pointed at me, then at the ground, then at himself, made a volley stroking gesture towards the entrance ahead, and finally at another soldier, and then gently slapped the top of his head with his palm.
I barely understood the tactical gestures of the military, and he told me to wait where I was, while he went over to scout while the other soldier took cover. I shook my head slightly, there is nothing to say about the military quality of these two fighters, but unfortunately, their actual combat experience is a little worse after all.
The flashlight that was so bright just now clearly told the people inside that someone was coming, and then using tactical gestures at this time was at best so that the guys inside couldn't guess how many people were outside. And the flamethrower he was carrying made it almost impossible for him to perform assault maneuvers such as tumbling and penetrating.
"Be careful. It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go. "I didn't stop the soldier. I'm not a god, and I'm going to die if I hover on the edge of life and death for too long. So when someone is willing to take a risk on my behalf, I don't mind accepting the kindness of others.
The soldier did not go around the corner and peek cautiously, but very boldly rushed to the turn with a flamethrower equipped with a wolf's eye flashlight. Then I heard a low exclamation, and the flamethrower in the soldier's hand fired, and when the other soldier saw it, he immediately pounced, and without asking what it was, he followed the first soldier and set it on fire.
They sprayed for half a minute before stopping, and when I walked up to look, I only saw a pool of red-hot liquid flowing on the ground on the bend side, and the surrounding walls were also melting.
"How's it going, what did you just see?" I've seen the kind of red light that flickered on the walls, and it was this red light that flashed in the eyes of the six-armed monster in the village before.
"Report chief, what I see seems to be a snake." The soldier who took the initiative to take on the reconnaissance mission said with palpitations.
"Snakes?" I frowned, "What kind of snake?" ”
"Chief, I can't see it very clearly, I saw a snake with thick thighs, its head raised to the height of a person's head, its whole body was pitch black, and its eyes were glowing red, as if it was about to attack, chief, you just said that you made a mistake and didn't let it go, so ...... I'll burn it...... "Anyone who sees a snake with thick thighs will not be calm, human nature." But the soldier seemed to feel a little humiliated by his actions.
"It's okay, it's good to burn. The scourge of the province is us. I patted him on the shoulder and looked closely at the liquid on the ground. The liquid was similar to the metal grit I burned in the village, except that the flamethrower's flame was a little worse than my spiritual fire, and there was a lot more yin and yang energy gushing out of the liquid than it was back then.
On one side of the wall, there is an obvious hole, indeed the thickness of a person's thigh, and the edge of the hole is still flowing with molten iron, looking inside, you can also see that there is a piece of thing that has been burned red but has not melted.
There's something wrong with this thing. Snakes are non-burrowing animals, they usually live in natural burrows, or steal burrows from rats, rabbits, etc. for their own use. The walls of this cave are rocky, and no natural cavities have been found before, and it is impossible for a rat or rabbit to make such a large hole in such a place. Nine times out of ten, this big snake was raised here. It's like a farmer's dog guarding the door.
However, since it is raised to watch the door, why is it also metallized? A live snake is much better than a metalized snake. Could it be that this cave is not the lair of the initiators, as I thought at the beginning? No, there's another possibility, and that's that what's in this cave is out of control!
"Be extra careful about the rest of the road, do you have enough flamethrower fuel?" I questioned both soldiers, and they both said they had plenty of fuel, so we continued our way to the cave.
This time, after walking more than ten meters, a large iron gate that looked heavy appeared in front of it, and the handwriting on the door had faded, but it could barely be seen that it was written "Prepare for war and prepare for famine".
A soldier approached to open the door, but I stopped him. The door was obviously more intact than the one in the village, and although there was some rust, there were no cracks to be seen, but what made me more concerned was that on one of the doors, about a little lower than my chest, there were two black handprints......
