Chapter 11: Out of the Hole
This one was not loud. But it was so abrupt that it could definitely be heard within three meters on this night of ghosts dancing.
Brush Brush Brush ...... Carrying the moonlight on his back, through the thin military tent, he could clearly see several huge bodies turning around at the same time, and the tall bodies were like the gods of death in the night, staring at this side. Subsequently...... Slowly moved his body.
Rumble...... The body that was too heavy stepped on the ground close at hand, and the corners of Jiang Xian's eyes were cramping - he could clearly see that the lid of the water cup on the ground, the liquid in the lid was shaking slightly!
What the is this monster...... He gritted his teeth, walked gently to the side of Temulun, who was already sluggish, and covered his mouth.
Get...... Gotta ...... The sound of teeth chattering gently came from under Jiang Xian's hands. Temurun's mind was blank at the moment, and he just raised his head sluggishly and looked at the huge figure pulled on the tent. Like a girl, she instinctively pulled up the sheet and covered her chest.
He was woken up by a strange scream at hand, and as soon as he woke up, he couldn't help but babble a few words. But he definitely didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he would see such a picture of despair.
Song Lianshi and Jiang Xian had already leaned over silently - the place where he slept was in the innermost. The front half of the tent was empty, but this short distance could not offset the fear surging in my heart at this moment. Even if this is a military tent, it does not give people the slightest sense of security.
What to do?
The more critical the moment, the calmer Jiang Xian became. Thoughts raced through their minds, and they were still looking for a target...... The tent was black and not easy to spot in the dark, but it was too close...... I'm afraid that in a few tens of seconds at most, these monsters will completely overturn the tent. When the time comes...... They're the food on the plate!
Something had to be done...... These creatures live in groups and live in the dark for long periods of time, what is the most attractive thing for them?
"Wow——!!" At this moment, a huge figure suddenly stood up, and an arm thicker than a human thigh swept across. With a loud bang, the rock wall seemed to have been punched out of a big hole! Countless pieces of rubble rolled down and smashed directly onto the tent. But no one could say a word at all.
In the next second, a basin-sized head, the shadow of which was already reflected on the tent door!
Less than two meters away from them!
It was as if it was sniffing something, "Wow wow...... Wow wow", the baby's cry makes the hair stand on end, and when it turns its head, it can clearly see the projection of teeth like a dagger in its mouth. Temurun had closed his eyes in despair, and his whole body was cold. Song Lianshi opened his mouth slightly, his jaw was trembling desperately, and the hand holding the gun trembled like a stroke.
"Team leader......" his voice fluttered, almost pleading to say the two words. Then, there was a dead silence.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Xian's mind. Quietly rolled to the edge of the tent. Quickly lifted the stones that blocked the gaps in the tent.
There was no need for him to shout "quick", Song Lianshi and Temulun immediately rushed over like crazy, desperately trying to help.
In order to ensure that no snakes, insects, rats and ants crawl in at night while sleeping, they block the tent with large stone blocks and fill the ground with pebbles. And on these stones, there is a lot of bat droppings, which is why those monsters did not notice them in the first place - the smell is disturbed. And creatures that live underground for a long time must not have very good eyesight.
A...... Another piece, Temurun longed to empty all the stones in an instant. Pick it up quickly and put it down carefully...... In just twenty seconds, the three of them were busy in a cold sweat, and they had never felt that time had passed so quickly.
Suddenly, a slight "sand ......" sound appeared in the rear.
The voice was soft, but it made everyone pause. Song Lianshi's breath became short and silent, and Temulun shivered all over.
Is that...... The monster touched the sound of the tent.
No one looked back.
No one dared to turn back.
"Also...... How long will it take? Temulun said like a bellows. Jiang Xian's movements kept stopping, and he said in a low voice: "Move out a hole that is big enough for my hand to stretch out!" ”
Zila...... It was the sound of fingernails scratching on the tent, and it was clear that the monster was interested in something that had never been seen before. In the tent, less than a meter away, the eyes of the three people were a little red.
Seven pieces...... Eight pieces! Nine pieces!
When the tenth fastest pebble was taken away, Jiang Xian couldn't care about anything else, and suddenly took out the flare gun with his hand and stretched out the hole. Because the movement was too rapid and the hole was too small, his finger bones hit the stone, and it hurt his heart. But now...... I can't take care of anything.
"Our Lady and Father, Jesus Mary, the Three Pure Buddhas!" He gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger with all his might.
Brush ——!!!
In the next second, a red flare shot out from the bottom of the tent, and the light was so strong that the monsters in front of the tent let out a roar in unison. Swiftly took a few steps back. I couldn't help but look at the red streamer.
Brush la-la-la-la...... The entire cave, I'm afraid that the eyes of hundreds of monsters have all been attracted. The flare slashed across the ground, across the lake, to the other end of the cavern, and exploded.
Bright red light filled the cave. The screams of "whoa" came and went. The three of them immediately turned around and found ......
Under the red light, all the monsters began to disperse in all directions.
No one took it lightly, and Jiang Xian's hand was still trembling in the stone cave. There was a dead silence in the tent for five minutes...... Ten minutes...... Fifteen minutes later. Temulun was bold and cautiously walked to the tent.
On the tent, there was no reflection of any monster anymore.
He stretched out his trembling fingers, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and unzipped a trace of it in a cold sweat.
As far as the eye can see, beyond the cave, only the tranquil surface of the lake and the faint moonlight cast above. It was as if the scene of the demons dancing just now had never been seen before.
"Let's go......" He turned around, his voice still not daring to raise his voice, and said hoarsely, "Let's go...... All gone! ”
With that, he collapsed on the blanket with a thud.
Jiang Xian closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath. At this time, I felt that the camouflage uniform was very sticky, and my palms were full of cold sweat. The hand that had collided with the stone was in sharp pain. Even after he retracted his hand, he still couldn't let go of the flare gun. It was Song Lianshi who broke his hand one finger at a time.
"How did you come up with that?" Song Lianshi asked in shock while breaking his fingers.
Only shock.
Not even the slightest jealousy can be born.
He asked himself, if he were him, he would never dare to take this risk. No...... Even he might not have thought of using a flare gun to break the siege.
Calm at the moment of crisis, swift thinking, and extensive knowledge...... If he is from a provincial agency, he will send an invitation letter as soon as he goes out. This kind of talent must not be let go!
"Remember the dossier? The informant's dictation. Jiang Xian still closed his eyes, letting the feeling of overcharging his scalp soothe a little bit. The voice didn't even ripple: "They saw the monster, but the monster didn't chase it." ”
"It's not a big pit, and the monster can definitely jump up. I think...... There is only one reason why it does not chase. ”
He opened his eyes and said, "That day, it was a torrential rain. ”
"Monsters that grow in the dark for a long time are afraid of strong light. Like thunder, like flares. Just now it was the best option. ”
Temurun sat up at some point, and listened equally quietly. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
It was only now that he seemed to understand why he was always only a registered disciple.
He used to feel that he was no worse than others in the division. Others will, and so will he. He also remembers what others remember. Why was he assigned to Foping County as a small police officer?
Originally...... Some gaps are not at all about how much they have memorized and how much they have learned.
It's about whether you can apply what you have learned in the most suitable place, whether you have the courage, and whether you have the responsibility.
"Team leader......" he finally spoke, and said in a low voice, "You...... Do you wake up with a sound? ”
"No, it won't." Jiang Xian rubbed his hands and said lightly: "When my dead ghost master is not dead, he will wake me up more than four times at different times in one night. Once you make a little noise, even if it's snoring, you will be hung up and beaten. ”
"Heh......" Temulun smiled bitterly. Never talk again.
"Rest well." Jiang Xian lay on the blanket: "Whose turn is it now?" Rest assured, those things won't come out again after a scare, at least tonight. ”
No one has any sleepiness, but they force themselves to fall asleep. Time passed slowly in anticipation and apprehension.
The next day, when Jiang Xian opened his eyes, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Outside the tent, the sun was shining, and today was another sunny day.
"Have breakfast and ...... Let's go home! ”
…………………………………………
Director Ma was somewhat described as haggard.
He held a large porcelain bowl with oily noodles in it. Under the chewy noodles, bean sprouts, cucumbers, and shredded cabbage are spread. A pinch of bright red chili peppers is placed on top. As long as you wait for a scoop of golden vegetable oil to be poured down, it is a bowl of fragrant human delicacy.
However, he is not in the mood to eat it at all now.
Since yesterday, the search and rescue team has completely lost its signal. From that moment on, he was on pins and needles. I was woken up by nightmares a few times last night. Early this morning, I waited in the temporary office.
It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's another morning with no information. He looked at the noodle bowl in front of him, and he had no appetite at all. He sighed and put it down.
Just then, the door was pushed open. A police officer rushed in quickly, gasping and said, "Director Ma, there's news!" ”
"Say!" Director Ma stood up suddenly. Loud voice.
The officer swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "They ...... They appeared twelve kilometers away...... Close to the junction of Foping and Chang'an......"
"What about people?! How are people? Director Ma almost slapped the table and shouted.
The police officer paused, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said: "Temulun is slightly injured, Zhao Boli, and Song Lianshi are seriously injured and have been sent to the hospital." Two daring sons...... The search and rescue was unsuccessful. ”
As if hearing some ominous information from the policeman's words, Director Ma walked quickly in front of the other party, stared at the other party's eyes, and asked word by word, "What about Zhao Yazhi?" ”
The officer's head was buried even lower. After a few seconds, he muttered: "Died in the line of duty......"
"the thief!!" Director Ma slapped the table suddenly, and the teacups and noodle bowls on the table jumped.
His hands sank into his black hair, and he combed it hard with a splitting headache. This timing ...... Someone actually died in the line of duty...... Now it's good, the villagers are missing, and the police officers are dead. He didn't know how many hangings he would suffer at the year-end debriefing meeting!
At that moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, and glanced at the officer, who had just left. He couldn't wait to pick it up.
"Xiao Jiang...... What the hell is going on? His voice was extremely eager: "Isn't it search and rescue?" What happened to the search and rescue? ”
"There's something down there." Jiang Xian's voice was as steady as ever: "There should be a Qin Dynasty tomb hidden." The identity of the owner of the tomb is extremely valuable. There are a lot of organs, and I didn't bring anything with me this time. I have done my best to be able to come back with these few people. ”
"That ......"
"Uncle Ma, don't worry." Jiang Xian's voice was like a reassuring pill: "After two months, you are not only right, but also have great achievements." ”
Director Ma's voice suddenly fell silent. As if guessing something, he cautiously said, "You ......"
"I'm on my way to Rongcheng right now. There is also an hour to Chang'an Airport. ”
"This place, once discovered, will benefit the whole Buddha Ping. There is hope of developing into a 5A-level scenic spot. And you, the first to discover him. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the hero of Foping. ”
Jiang Xian's voice continued to sound: "It's just ...... This place is a copy of the king. ”
"I'm going to pick up my stuff now, and besides, there are a couple of old teammates who I've called them for. When the time comes, you just need to convince the county to issue an exploration permit. The credit is yours. ”
5A-level scenic spot......
Director Ma's hand holding the phone almost slipped off.
Foping's economy in Xingyuan City is not good, there are several poor counties under Xingyuan City, and everyone relies on self-reliance. If...... If you participate in a 5A-level scenic spot, you don't ...... Even if it is not a scenic spot, it is the development of a historic tomb. The next county standing committee member, he is definitely on the list!
His breathing had begun to rapidize.
"Don't worry." After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth: "This matter...... I'm desperate, and I'm going to have to press it for two months! ”
