Chapter 116: Convergence
Chen Ziyang and the others were resting there, watching Battalion Commander Jin lead a few soldiers to count the equipment in their hands, looking for any way to pass through this mountain stream.
The current equipment that can be used is several folding ladders, some ropes, and a nail gun to fire ropes. Other than that, there is hardly any equipment that can be used, but even the ones in hand are not able to build a bridge over a mountain stream.
At this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly heard some noise from the direction of the stone forest, as if something was moving. He sat up hurriedly, turned his head in the direction of the mountain stream, and listened carefully, gesturing to silence everyone around him.
Seeing Chen Ziyang's nervous expression, several Eastern Dynasty soldiers stopped what they were doing. picked up the submachine gun and cautiously turned in the direction of the stone forest.
However, then everyone didn't hear any strange movements, Chen Ziyang pricked up his ears, put his hands behind his ears, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard some sparse sounds again. Then one of the soldiers saw a white dot flash in the stone forest. He hurriedly patted the people around him, pointing to the spot where he saw the white dots.
Chen Ziyang looked carefully in that direction, and then the white dot became more and more obvious until it no longer flickered. A person is then seen waking up under the white dot.
"It seems to be the headlamp of our scientific expedition team!" Yang Lei said.
It wasn't until the person got closer and closer that several identical white dots appeared behind the person.
"That's right, it's our people!" Yang Lei stood up excitedly and waved his hand at them, but when these people got closer and closer, Yang Lei's raised and shaking hands slowly stopped, and all the people looked at the scene in front of them and were stunned, it was too miserable, is this still their team.
Walking in the first place was a soldier from the Eastern Dynasty, he lowered his head and slowly dragged his legs, and behind him, it was the umbrella stone marshal who supported Liu Cong. Liu Cong leaned on Umbrella Shi Shuai's body, his left hand hooked Umbrella Shi Shuai's right shoulder from the back of Umbrella Shi Shuai's neck, and his right hand covered his chest.
Behind the two of them were two soldiers carrying a simple homemade stretcher, on which lay the battalion commander Kim, who was missing a leg. It wasn't until Wang Lele and Lin Xueping appeared at the end of the team that Chen Ziyang was relieved.
"Weird, how did these two teams come together?" Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking about this question, Yang Lei walked to his side and whispered in his ear: "Er Yang, there are only 16 people in total. ”
At the beginning, Chen Ziyang didn't understand the problem that Yang Lei said, but then he thought that there were almost 30 people in each team, and there should be more than 60 people in the two teams, but at this time, only 16 people came back, and almost all of them were colored, and they didn't know what they had experienced.
Chen Ziyang and a few people led the soldiers up to pick them up, and quickly took the team to their resting place. The tired Umbrella Shi Shuai saw that it was Chen Ziyang who came to pick him up, and after sitting down, he let out a sigh of relief, and immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In Chen Ziyang's impression, Umbrella Shishuai has always been full of physical strength and omnipotent, but seeing him like this at this time, Chen Ziyang knew that Umbrella Shishuai was really at the limit.
Not only Umbrella Shi Shuai, but as soon as the 16 people who came back relaxed, they all fell down, and they didn't even eat the water and compressed biscuits handed to them by the soldiers next to them, and they all fell asleep on the ground. Chen Ziyang looked at the 16 people who came back carefully, and didn't even find the bald brother of the Xu family and the captain of the scientific expedition team, Qin Liang, it is estimated that they are more than lucky.
Looking at Wang Lele, who was lying asleep on the side, Chen Ziyang looked down at his watch, and the red dot representing Wang Lele on the positioning watch appeared again, which is estimated to have been out of the area where the signal was interfered with. Seeing that the watch was fine, Chen Ziyang turned off the watch in order to save power.
Although Chen Ziyang was anxious, he wanted to know why these two teams had come together and what had happened to them. But he didn't want to disturb the rest of these people, so he endured it patiently. At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed that these people who came back were covered in mud, as if they had crawled out of the pond, and they didn't know where they got this mud.
Three hours later, Umbrella Shishuai was the first to wake up, drank a bottle of water in one go, and ate a bag of compressed biscuits in three bites. told Chen Ziyang about their experience in the past two days.
"After we separated, I followed Liu Cong and Wang Lele to the left passage, this passage is very long, really long, we walked for two or three hours and did not go out, the air in the passage is relatively small, everyone is already tired, and even some people think that we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, otherwise why this passage has not been completed. It was at this time that we heard a noise behind the passage.
According to them, their passage was very short, and it didn't take long to finish, but at the end of the passage was a suspension bridge, and although most of the wooden planks on the deck of the suspension bridge composed of several iron chains were rotten, they could barely pass with the help of the chains on the suspension bridge.
But just as a few soldiers were tentatively grasping the drawbridge, they were suddenly attacked by a female ghost in white, and four or five soldiers were killed by this female ghost. When Camp Commander Jin saw that the situation was not good, he immediately made a decision and led everyone back the same way, but fortunately, the female ghost did not pursue them.
They lost a lot of their equipment and supplies as they ran, and for this reason, Camp Commander Kim told them to chase after us, because our team carried the most supplies outside of their team. Just after we had been separated for a long time, Camp Commander Jin and the others caught up with us and told us about the situation, telling us to be careful.
But everyone's route is different after all, until they catch up with us, we didn't finish this passage, and the more we walked, the hotter it became, and I don't know if it was because the passage was narrower and the number of people was larger.
The passage goes down, the slope is steep, and the passage is relatively straight, and the surrounding rock walls are smooth, with some traces of friction. According to Qin Liang's research, this passage may have been used as a transportation channel for transporting some large-scale building materials in the past. Objects such as giant rocks and large pieces of wood, thrown directly into this passage, will slide down the passage to their destination below.
So Qin Liang was very excited at that time, he thought that our passage was the most likely to reach the tomb. ”
