?“ What the? What did you say? We can't get the plague? Why? Chen Ziyang's words frightened Yang Lei into a cold sweat, and when he heard the team doctor say this, he hurriedly asked.

"Plague bacteria must rely on the metabolic system of the host cell to replicate their own nucleic acids, synthesize proteins and assemble them into complete virions, that is to say, ......"

"Hey! Ay! Old girl, can you speak Chinese? Can you say something that my brother can understand? As soon as he heard these technical terms, Yang Lei's head was big.

To put it simply, all these plague germs have starved to death because they have no food. The plague happened 2,000 years ago, and in those 2,000 years, all the corpses were decomposed, and the dry environment here was not conducive to the breeding of plague germs, so I can say with certainty that all the plague germs here have died. ”

"Old girl, you saved my life before, and you also treated our family's Eryang for injuries, we all treat you as a good person, I believe what you say, you can't lie to my brother." Hearing that it was very likely that the five people would not be infected with the plague here, Yang Lei finally relieved his heart, and his mouth began to become poor again.

"What's so terrible even if you get it? The current medical treatment is not 2,000 years ago, maybe this so-called plague is just a flu, don't make a fuss, let's move on. Because of this episode, Instructor Liu had no intention of resting, so he urged everyone to hurry forward.

Although the team doctor's words gave Yang Lei a reassurance, Yang was still a little worried when he saw so many people killed in the previous plague, so when walking, Yang Lei kept using his sleeve as a mask and covering his mouth and nose tightly.

Chen Ziyang's mentality is very calm, anyway, he has been walking here for so long, if he should have been infected, he would have already been infected with the virus, and it is useless to worry now. Although he was a little nervous just now, after listening to the team doctor's words and changing his mentality, Chen Ziyang saw it instead.

Instructor Liu still led everyone to lean against the wall on one side and walk forward along the plant roots on the wall, but Chen Ziyang felt that his move was a bit excessive, because the structure of this underground space was very simple, it was a straight forward road, and there was no fork in the road, so even if you didn't follow these roots, you wouldn't go in the wrong direction.

From this point, Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu's caution. But he still couldn't figure out what the treasure Instructor Liu was looking for. However, from the exaggerated length of these root systems, Chen Ziyang felt that this plant was very unusual, and he had never heard of any plant with such a long root system.

After walking for a while, the group finally walked out of the cemetery. After passing by the scattered bones, there was nothing left on the ground in front of them except weathered sand.

After roughly calculating in his heart, Chen Ziyang calculated that there were about three or four thousand people buried here. This number is very huge, in the Western Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, how many people could be in an ancient country on the edge of the desert, and it is estimated that half of the people in the ancient country have been buried here, which is still a conservative estimate.

Chen Ziyang was surprised by the number of people who had died in the previous plague, but Instructor Liu stopped at this time, he was surprised by the length of this underground passage.

"Something is wrong, why is this passage so long?"

After being reminded by Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang also reacted. When he was on the ground before, he took a rough look at the scale of this ancient country, and if he was full, the distance between the east and west sides of the longest ancient country was only more than two kilometers, but the distance traveled by the group at this underground passage had far exceeded this length.

Fortunately, there were still roots of these plants on the surrounding side walls, so Instructor Liu knew that he was not wrong, but he turned to look at Chen Ziyang, hoping to get some hints from Chen Ziyang.

"You don't have to look at me, I'm good at feng shui, if you really talk about the experience of going to the tomb, I'm still very lacking. And there is only one road here, and there is no such thing as Qimen Dunjia, so we shouldn't be wrong. Seeing what Instructor Liu meant, Chen Ziyang said.

Although he said this, Chen Ziyang also felt a little strange. The existence of this underground space is very unreasonable, and it is impossible for the ancient country of Sumi two thousand years ago to have such manpower and material resources to build such a huge underground passage.

And the existence of this passage has no meaning at all, could it be that this passage is for these people to cool off in the summer? Thinking of these strange places, Chen Ziyang took out the compass and planned to calibrate the direction, but when he saw the direction pointed by the pointer on the compass, his face showed a solemn expression.

"What's wrong? What did you find? Instructor Liu asked.

"The direction we are moving in seems to have changed......," Chen Ziyang said in a very hesitant tone.

"How is this possible? Haven't we been walking in a straight line! Instructor Liu said in surprise.

Not only Instructor Liu's reaction was like this, but the others were also very shocked after hearing Chen Ziyang's words. Ever since they got here, everyone has been moving forward. No one noticed that they had walked through a bend or something, so there was no such thing as a sudden change in the direction of the crowd.

"Are you sure? Are you mistaken? Or are you misremembering? Instructor Liu asked.

Without answering Instructor Liu's question immediately, Chen Ziyang stood in place, carefully looking at the compass in his hand. When he first entered this underground passage, he glanced at the direction on the compass, which he had developed after several visits to the tomb, and he clearly remembered that when he first entered here, the direction in which everyone was moving was due north. But now the needle on the compass points in the southwest direction.

After checking the compass and finding that there was no problem with the compass, Chen Ziyang calibrated the direction again. That's right, the direction in which everyone is moving has indeed changed. "There's no going wrong with that." He replied in the affirmative.

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, the other people felt very strange, Yang Lei came to Chen Ziyang's side, and whispered: "It won't be so evil, do you say that we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall?" It's been spinning in circles. It's not surprising that so many people have died here, and there are 180 ghosts left, or you can do it, the pioneer exorcises ghosts or something, let's go further. ”

"Don't scare yourself, it's not a ghost hitting the wall at all, it's been two thousand years, and all the ghosts have dissipated. I think there are other reasons for this.

I thought about it just now, and it is very likely that the road we are walking is not a straight passage, but an arc, but because the passage is relatively long, the arc of the passage is relatively small, and the surrounding darkness is relatively dark, our vision is not good, so no one has noticed this. ”

"Leave these things alone, let's move on." Although Instructor Liu also felt that there was something strange in this, but after all, the surrounding scenery was not repeated, and there was no other fork in the road, as long as he continued to follow the root system of these plants, there would be no mistake, and now the root system of the plant has been significantly thicker, and it seems that it is getting closer and closer to the body of this plant.

Although Instructor Liu told everyone not to worry about these things, everyone felt a little uneasy, and the speed of the team's progress slowed down a lot.

This time Chen Ziyang learned his lesson, and he kept staring at the compass in his hand as he advanced. It wasn't until the pointer on the compass had clearly deviated by another grid that he confirmed his idea that the passage was indeed curved.

At this moment, Instructor Liu, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, and everyone saw that Instructor Liu's flashlight shone straight towards a wall in front of him.

"Did you come to the end? There's nothing here, are we in the wrong place? Xiao Ren on the side asked.

Because it was far away, everyone could only vaguely see that it seemed that the front of the passage was blocked. At this time, Instructor Liu was a little hairy, he hurriedly quickened his pace, and walked forward quickly, until everyone followed him to the front and saw that there was a huge stone tablet in front of the passage.

The stele was so large that it almost blocked the entire passage, and the strange plant roots protruded from between the stele and the side walls of the passage.

Because the edge of the stele is very close to the side wall of the passage, the gap between the two is very small, and the root system of these plants is very thick, so there are many broken places on the edge of the stele, which seem to have been destroyed when the root system of these plants grew.

Found a place where the edge of the stele was relatively damaged, and Instructor Liu lay there and used a flashlight to shine along the gap to the back of the stele. The others also leaned in, each finding some gap to look behind the stele.

Through these gaps, everyone saw that the stele was about two feet thick, and there was still a very large space behind the stele, and the light of the flashlight could not be reached at all.

After striking the stone stele a few times with the sapper shovel, Yang Lei said: "This is really a solid stone, it looks like a whole piece, this is really strange, how did such a big stone come to the desert?" With these guys in our hands, it is impossible to break this stone tablet, can we turn around and go back. ”

While others were paying attention to the back of the stele, Chen Ziyang was attracted by the surface of the stele, because he saw the same lines on the stele as on the two previous altars.

While stroking one of the lines with his hand, Chen Ziyang suddenly had a feeling of palpitations. At this moment, he saw as if a huge blood-red eye flashed in his mind.

Although this blood-red eye was fleeting, this feeling was very real, and Chen Ziyang felt as if this blood-red eye was calling him, this strange feeling frightened him and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Feeling this strange feeling, Chen Ziyang was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know whether he should continue to move forward, after all, inferred from the previous things, Chen Ziyang felt that the person who left the clue of this ancient country did not want future generations to open the treasure of this ancient country, but the feeling of this calling in his heart was very strong, making it difficult for him to refuse.

After taking a few deep breaths to relieve the feeling of his heart palpitations, Chen Ziyang made a decision, he said, "This stone tablet should be able to be opened."

Have you noticed that the edges of this stele are crushed by these plants, but if you look through these gaps, there is no broken stone on the ground at all, whether it is in front of or behind the stele?

It's okay to say that the front of the stele may have been cleaned up, but how was the broken stone behind the stone wall cleaned up? Judging from the fractures on the side of the stele, there should be a few relatively large pieces of gravel that fell behind the stele, and the width of these broken stones exceeded the width of the gap, and it was impossible to clear the stones from this side of the stele, which means that someone must have been to the back of the stele.

Moreover, the pattern on this stele is very similar to that on the square altar that opened this underground passage before, and there should also be a keyhole or something here where the diamond can be placed, thus opening this stone wall, or this stone door. ”

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Instructor Liu hurriedly said to everyone: "All separate, follow this stone tablet to find it, and see if there is a place where the stone tablet can be opened." ”

Instructor Liu and the three of them immediately walked along the edge of the stele to the other side, carefully looking for the keyhole on the stele, while Chen Ziyang stayed where he was, quietly staring at the lines on the stele. Seeing that he didn't act, Yang Lei also stayed.

After staring at the lines on the wall for a while, Chen Ziyang trembled and stretched out his right hand and touched the lines on the stone tablet again.

But this time, when his fingers touched the gap in the stele, nothing happened. After touching a few other lines, Chen Ziyang knew that the feeling he had just now would not appear again.

"Eryang, what's wrong with you? Why am I looking at you with some uneasiness? Yang Lei asked with concern.

"There's nothing to do, I just don't know if I should move on."

Seeing Chen Ziyang's tangled expression, and seeing the three Instructor Liu walking into the distance, Yang Lei whispered: "Let's two turn around and run, anyway, they don't have guns, while they don't pay attention, we can run far, even if they find out and catch up, the two of us can use pistols to force them back, and we should be able to leave here safely." ”

"I've thought about this before, but what if you escape? The engine of the car got into the sand, and it couldn't drive far at all, and we still couldn't do without this desert.

Instructor Liu has a satellite phone in his backpack, I guess that's his last move, and when the matter here is over, he will call for support, and someone will come to pick him up. ”

"Those people picked him up, not the two of us, in case this kid has a bad heart and really does the two of us, then it's over. It's better to give it a go and gamble. ”
