Chapter 98: The Traces Are Gone
Holding the plum bottle in his hand, Wang Lele observed carefully. This plum bottle is exactly the same as she guessed before, whether it is the size or shape, it is exactly the same as the Baishou plum bottle that Chen Ziyang sold to herself, but the words on this plum bottle are the words Baixi.
The previous Baishou plum bottle has been studied hundreds of times, and it is estimated that this plum bottle will not provide any useful clues. When Chen Ziyang got the Baishou plum bottle, the plum bottle was wrapped in several layers of yellow cloth, so the bottle was very clean and in good condition, but at this time, there was no covering on the Baixi plum bottle, and the perennial dust fell on it, and the original color of the entire plum bottle could not be seen in the upper part of the entire plum bottle, and only the lower part could vaguely see that the bottle was white.
Wang Lele took out a special box made according to Chen Ziyang's plum bottle from his backpack, which was already stuffed with sponges, and cut out the shape of a bottle in the sponge. Just when Wang Lele wanted to put away the plum bottle, the box containing the plum bottle was snatched away by Camp Commander Jin.
After Lin Xueping's translation, Camp Commander Jin conveyed an order to the expedition members, this time their mission was to assist the Eastern Dynasties in archaeology, and all the finds in the cave belonged to the Korean side, and they were not allowed to take them away without permission.
Because this plum vase could not provide any useful clues, Wang Lele did not continue to compete with him, but turned around and continued to look in other stone houses to see if there was anything that could provide clues.
With the completion of the search of several stone houses, Wang Lele couldn't help but feel anxious, why is there no clue about Zhang Tianhao here, the previous scientific expedition team was obviously in danger here, but why is there no trace at all? It's as if the expedition team has never been here.
In addition to a few wooden beds, there were rotting clothes, bedding, books and wooden furniture that could no longer be read. Aside from a few footprints found on the ground, there are really no clues here. It seems that the only way to find clues from the previous expedition team is to continue deeper into the cave.
However, there are no clues, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, at this time, a kind of hope sprouted in Wang Lele's heart, could it be that Zhang Tianhao and they were not killed, but escaped from other roads? But where did they flee? Why haven't they contacted themselves again for more than two years?
When Wang Lele searched these rooms with a stomach full of questions, Chen Ziyang never let his guard down. In that video, in addition to the blood corpses, there should be head spirits appearing, but I don't know why these head spirits haven't appeared until now? Could it be that I was wrong? Is that just the green light of something else? Chen Ziyang also doubted his judgment.
But suspicion is suspicion, Chen Ziyang also noticed the unusualness here, the traces of the previous scientific expedition team were completely erased, and the only way to come in has been guarded by the soldiers of the Eastern Dynasty, it is impossible for someone to sneak in to erase the traces of these scientific expeditions, could it be that someone came from the other direction of the cave? Chen Ziyang turned his head to look into the depths of the dark cave.
Chen Ziyang had a very strange feeling, since he had just fought with the blood corpse, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, at first he thought it was the team doctor Yu Gang, but he found that even when Yu Gang didn't look at him, he also had this feeling of being watched.
Everyone packed up and prepared to continue deeper into the cave, but at this moment, a rustling sound came from the direction they came.
Rustle rustle......
This rustling sound is very ethereal, listening to people's ears, ringing in people's heads, and shocking people's hearts.
"Eryang, what's this sound?" Hearing this hair-rustling sound, Yang Lei couldn't help but ask Chen Ziyang.
Chen Ziyang shook his head, it was the first time he had heard this kind of sound, and then everyone in the stone house also heard this strange sound, so they all walked out and looked in the direction where the sound sounded, but because of the searchlight, the place where the searchlight could not shine was even darker, and it was impossible to see what was making this sound.
Battalion Commander Kim ordered a few soldiers on the outermost perimeter to go to the searchlight and turn it in the direction of the rustling sound. But under the light of the searchlight, there was nothing but the smooth stone walls and the ground.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a mutation protruded, starting from the very edge that the searchlight could reach, all the black and white stone walls turned white in an instant, and the area covered by white became larger and larger, getting closer and closer to everyone, and at the same time, the rustling sound became louder and louder, approaching everyone.
Chen Ziyang looked through the cracks in the people, and saw that the white gradually advanced towards everyone, and in an instant, he was about to reach the location of the searchlight. The first to be covered in white was the body of an Eastern Dynasty soldier who had been lying there before. After the Eastern Dynasty soldier was killed by the bloody corpse, the corpse has been lying there ever since.
In an instant, this piece of white completely covered the soldier's body, and a white bulge was formed on the flat ground, and as the white bulge slowly dried up, a white bone was exposed inside, and in just such a moment, all the flesh and blood on the Eastern Dynasty soldier were gone.
"Oh no, it's a cave marching ant! Come on! Qin Liang, the captain of the archaeological team, shouted. Qin Liang once encountered this kind of marching ants in a cave scientific expedition, when more than 20 people in the scientific expedition team were surrounded by ant tides, and only 5 people, including him, escaped alive. Therefore, Qin Liang knows the power of this termite. It's just that this kind of termite didn't make such a rustling sound before, otherwise Qin Liang would have remembered that this group of termites was doing it.
This kind of termites live in the burrow that does not see the light of day all year round, the adult individual is six or seven centimeters long, and the large chela at the front of the termite head can even clip off the fingers of the person at once, which is very powerful, and the collective action of this termite is much stronger than that of ordinary ants, and it is very organized, so it is called a cave marching ant.
But because of the language barrier, Camp Commander Jin, who was at the front of the team, did not understand Qin Liang's warning. After discovering that these things were nothing more than some large termites, ask the battalion commander to order two flamethrowers to step forward and use the flamethrowers in their hands to breathe fire at the ant colony.
