Chapter 43: Poisoning
Irene and the two men descend into the water and come around the floating coffin, where they find it very strange. There is nothing at the bottom of the floating coffin that connects to the bottom of the water, but it is very difficult to move the floating coffin. It stands to reason that something floating in the water should be very light, but this floating coffin is very heavy.
There is no way to open the floating coffin in the water, there is no fulcrum, and the floating coffin is high above the water, and the people in the water cannot reach the coffin lid at all. In order to open the floating coffin, it must be pulled ashore.
Irene and the others couldn't move the floating coffin in the water at all, and Huang Rong and the others had to go into the water to help, and after a toss by several people, they finally pushed the floating coffin to the edge of the pool. But they were so focused on pulling the coffin ashore that they didn't notice that the water in the pool had changed color.
When the coffin was pulled to the shore, they saw that the water in the pool had turned blood-red. And the water that came out of his body was also blood-red. At that time, only Irene and the others seemed a little panicked, Huang Rong was not afraid at all, and thought that it was caused by some chemical reaction, so she didn't care.
I thought to myself, of course Irene, they were all tomb robbers, and when they saw this, they definitely didn't think about the chemistry. The first psychology of tomb robbers is what mechanism they have touched and what kind of consequences they will bring. It's just you who are cultured people who think it's a chemical reaction.
Huang Rong said that when she saw that her body didn't react, she didn't care, so she was ready to open the coffin. It was the people who were in charge of opening the coffin, and Huang Rong was just watching from the sidelines. When the floating coffin was opened, everyone was dumbfounded.
There was nothing in the coffin, it was an empty coffin, but as the coffin opened, they smelled a smell of rotten eggs. The smell was very pungent, and then everyone's throat started to tighten, and it felt a little hard to breathe. Irene immediately shouted, "Hurry up." ”
Everyone jumped into the water and left the pool. Irene tells everyone that they must leave the tomb, they may have been poisoned and must go out for treatment.
Listening to Irene's words, everyone began to walk back, but when they returned to the corridor, Huang Rong felt unwell. The blood vessels in my body began to bulge, and I felt like I was going to explode. Looking at everyone again, everyone's face is like a monster, and even the thinnest capillaries are bulging.
What's even more terrifying is that the passage that came in was sealed with concrete. They were trapped here, without any tools, and they couldn't get through the tunnel.
Irene wanted to persuade everyone to follow her to find a way, but Liang Chao stood up again against it, and Liang Chao wanted everyone to stay here and wait for rescue outside. Only those two people were willing to listen to Irene's words, Huang Rong and the others no longer trusted Irene, and they put all the blame for all this on Irene.
Forced Irene to tell her secret, told her true identity, hoping that Huang Rong and the others could follow her, but it backfired, when they knew that Irene was a tomb robber, they all rejected Irene a little, especially Liang Chao, who always used some words to distinguish the difference between them and Irene.
In the end, Irene took the two people together and left the corridor, entered the ancient tomb again, and never came back. Huang Rong and the others have been guarding the sealed corridor, waiting for rescue, but after waiting for several days, no one came to save them.
Every day, the body changes, from the initial onset of the disease once a day, to the onset of the disease three times a day. They can't stand this torment anymore, and every time their blood vessels burst, they feel soreness all over their bodies. And every time they get sick, it makes them insane.
After a few days of suffering, all the food and water had been used up, and they were hungry and thirsty, forcing them to choose again, and Huang Rong resolutely decided to return to the ancient tomb to find another way out. And there is a waterhole in the ancient tomb, which can quench the problem of thirst, and at least a water source can extend life.
They returned to the waterhole again, and began to dive forward under the rock wall of the cave, and along the way they dived twenty or thirty waterholes, and found floating coffins in no less than ten waterholes. It wasn't until they reached the waterhole on the slope that they found Irene's body.
They all died by the waterhole. Seeing Irene's corpse, Huang Rong was desperate, tomb robbers like Ireen were trapped here, and it was even more difficult for them to get out.
I followed the slope to a large rock formation underground, and saw countless corpses. Huang Rong was frightened by these bones, this was the first time she had seen such a scene in her life.
The large underground rock formation that Huang Rong said was the open ground when I came down, not to mention that she had seen it for the first time in her life. Even I, a long-time tomb man, had seen such a large rock space for the first time, and it was full of bones.
Seeing the thick iron chain perpendicular to the entrance of the slope hole, Huang Rong thought that she could go up, but when she climbed to the top, she found that the wellhead above was blocked by a solid bronze fence. had no choice but to find another way out, and at this moment, Liang Chao suddenly fell ill and died. She and another colleague hastily buried Liang Chao under a pile of rubble.
When Huang Rong talked about Liang Chao this time, she was very excited, it felt like if Liang Chao stood here, she could eat him. This may be the gritted hatred brought about by being deceived by the person you trust the most.
thought that Huang Rong would continue to talk, but when it came to Liang Chao, he was stuck. Huang Rong didn't continue, I wanted to know how she came over in the past 3 years. But she didn't say it, everyone also understood that there was nothing to eat here, and she could only survive by eating corpses until now, perhaps this was her biggest pain.
Seeing that she didn't want to continue, I asked, "What happened to your last colleague?"
Huang Rong looked at me and replied, "If I tell you that she was eaten by me, do you believe it?"
I looked at her eyes, it didn't look like a joke at all, and the feeling of vomiting came back in an instant. Maybe she saw the strange expression on my face, smiled at me and said, "Do you really believe that she was eaten by me?" She couldn't stand it and committed suicide. ”
said that Huang Rong smiled at me, but the expression on her face was better not to smile. On the pale face, the corners of the mouth moved slightly, which looked even more terrifying.
Looking at her scary face, I politely asked her, "Apparently you found your way out later, why didn't you go out?"
"What am I doing when I go out like this, do I go out to be scary, or do I go out and be treated as a monster?"
When she answered like this, I was speechless, and at the moment she was like this, she would be treated as a weirdo when she went out, and she would have to be controlled to do research. She knows too much about researching this matter, and it may not be a bad thing for her not to go out.
Somehow, I began to feel a little sympathetic to the woman in front of me, after all, she was just an outsider, not a tomb robber, who was used to solve the symbol anagram without getting any benefit, and in the end she was hurt so much. She is indeed an innocent person, but I can only sympathize with her silently, and I can't help her.
"One more thing I want to know, did Irene tell you at the time why they had to come down?"
"She didn't tell me, but I finally learned that she was here for something. ”
"What's that?" I asked, urgently.
"You should ask him about this, he knows better than I want to come down to the purpose. Huang Rong pointed at the little wolf.
The little wolf didn't answer, but stood there, as if thinking about something. Huang Rong's words reminded me that the little wolf was with Irene and them 3 years ago, could it be that he had already done things for us 3 years ago? After thinking about it carefully, it is not necessarily, maybe Irene was doing things for others at that time, and she did not enter the company of the senior brother after all.
There are all kinds of things in the tomb robbery world, yesterday it may still be an enemy, but today it may become a partner, a place where fish help fish, water help water, and everyone is useful. So it's also possible to think that Irene was doing things for others at that time. Although I would like to know the answer now, I also know that if I ask the little wolf now, he will not tell me.
Huang Rong looked at the little wolf and asked, "How have you been doing in the past few years?"
"It's ok. The little wolf seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'm curious to know one thing, why did you come out of the corridor that day, and what were you doing in the corridor so late?" Huang Rong looked at the little wolf with a strange look.
The little wolf seemed to be stunned by this sudden question. After a while, he replied, "I'm just going in and reviewing it, and you taught me how to recognize symbols." ”
Huang Rong looked at the little wolf and sneered and said, "You still refuse to tell me the truth." ”
Although I couldn't understand what their conversation meant, I could feel that the little wolf was not telling the truth, and Huang Rong knew this.
It seems that there should be many secrets between the two of them, but the other party knows about it and doesn't want to break it. The little wolf must have come for something 3 years ago, Huang Rong knew this in her heart. And Huang Rong now has some secrets of this ancient tomb, and he hasn't really said it, I think the little wolf must have noticed this.
The little wolf walked a few steps and asked Huang Rong, "You said that you saw a lot of floating coffins in the waterhole, can you take me to see them?"
"It seems that you still don't give up, I can lead you there. After speaking, Huang Rong walked to the edge of the pool. Turning back to us, he said, "Keep up." ”
After saying that, he jumped in, not even saying which direction to dive. I glanced at the little wolf, and the little wolf was also very bitter and helpless.
I really doubt that Huang Rong has a problem with her IQ, it stands to reason that with such a high level of education, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake. The bottom of the waterhole extends in all directions, and it is really difficult to do it without telling us the direction. Seeing that the little wolf didn't go into the water, Ma Daha and I didn't move, so we could only wait for Huang Rong to come back to pick us up.
However, the little wolf's attention was not in the water, he looked very attentive, and he seemed to be still thinking about what Huang Rong said. I didn't know what he was thinking, but I could feel that he was suspicious of what Huang Rong said. Although this is not something I can guess, I would love to get a glimpse of the little wolf's heart.
After more than 10 minutes, Huang Rong came back, and poked her head out of the water for the first time: "What's the matter?
"The point is, you didn't tell us where to go, and we didn't know which way to go. I replied to her helplessly.
"The next waterhole in this direction is waiting for you. Huang Rong pointed to a rock wall.
