Mei Qian, the eternal sinner who behaved badly and committed heinous crimes against the Xia Kingdom's cultural relics protection work and ruthlessly damaged national treasures, had no consciousness of violating the criminal law and kicked away the copper pot in front of him.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the previous inference was correct. The flood had indeed almost filled the abyss.
What the archaeological team triggered was not the self-destruct mechanism of the ancient tomb, but inadvertently reopening the power system of the tomb. It was only because of an accident in the subway shaft that the tomb passage collapsed, and such a big accident occurred.
The small waterfalls emerging from the walls around it should be the normal appearance of this mechanism.
Of course, these sounds also disturbed Mei Qian. He concentrated hard and tried to listen, but except for the sound of water flowing, there was no noise here. There was neither the imaginary cry for help nor the sound of crawling corpses.
As soon as you turn your head, you can see a large area of collapse. Presumably, behind the platform filled with rocks and sand is the tomb passage where the archaeological team entered.
The stone bridge had collapsed, and although he had night eyes that could see in the dark, his visual distance was not as good as that under sunlight, so he couldn't see very far away.
So although I was a little anxious, I had to slowly find other ways.
There happened to be a path on the edge of the cliff that could accommodate one person standing. He randomly chose a direction and groped along, and finally found another stone bridge.
Although this stone bridge looked more dilapidated than the one in the live broadcast, and half of it collapsed, it was still enough for him to pass alone.
Mei Qian did not dare to take it lightly and stepped carefully on the bridge. There was a section in the middle that was quite thrilling. Fortunately, his jumping ability was amazing. With the help of the light body technique, he jumped to safety at the moment when a piece of the bridge collapsed.
After running a few steps, I came to a stone platform.
Then, he saw a lonely bronze tripod standing on a stone platform.
Mei Qian slowly approached, but didn't see anyone else. After searching for a long time, he only found a broken camera and casings on the ground.
Seeing this, he was happy at first, and then his heart sank.
I guess I'm right, there should be many people in the archaeological team still alive.
But since these people had fired their guns and disappeared, they must have encountered some trouble.
Is it a corpse or a monster?
Suddenly, he was shocked and looked at the stone platform again.
No, where is the body of the "modern tomb robber" discovered in the previous live broadcast? Was it also washed away by the flood?
At this moment, a series of gunshots suddenly came from his ears. He raised his eyebrows and ran quickly in the direction of the gunshots...
-------------------
Zhang Yu didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky today.
I'm lucky. I thought it was a very safe job. Why don't I go to the tomb to collect some evidence? After hanging around for a day, just returning to the ground will be considered a great achievement. But in the end, the tomb passage collapsed and I was buried underground. This is the ancient tomb.
It is estimated that it will take the rescue team to dig out the depth of the cave, but it is not yet known how long it will take.
Unfortunately, he miraculously escaped the impact of the flood and the collapse of the stone bridge without any injuries on his body.
However, this time the archaeological team suffered extremely heavy losses.
The team members who did not board the stone platform and stayed on the stone bridge were all wiped out, and the later floods took away another wave.
Now, the archaeological team of more than 40 people only has an archeology professor and his two assistants, a traces expert from the police headquarters, a frightened male reporter and four policemen acting as security forces, including Zhang Yu in
Inside, there are a total of 10 people left.
After a period of confusion, the remaining people naturally hugged each other to keep warm.
As the leader of the archaeological team, the archeology professor surnamed Chen naturally has the greatest say. He believes that the people on the ground will arrive soon. And his confidence has also infected other people, and the team is no longer as strong as before.
Confused.
But this old expert in his fifties is really too big-hearted, and he doesn’t know the structure of the old man’s brain circuitry, so he refuses to stay and wait for rescue. He wants to drag everyone to continue exploring, but he can’t hold him back.
In the end, Zhang Yu was dissatisfied and decisively seized power.
In fact, the highest-ranking police officer present was a trace science expert, but he was just a scholar, so he would be in trouble in such a situation. As an old detective who almost took over as captain, Zhang Yu automatically became the new police officer because he had a higher rank than his four colleagues.
The leader of the team.
As usual and to reassure people, we took stock of all remaining supplies and formulated new rules for the use of lighting, distribution of drinking water and food, etc.
Of course, the most important rule is that everyone is waiting for rescue and no one can act rashly.
Professor Chen objected, but Zhang Yu successfully persuaded his two assistants and the protest was invalid.
There is no way, Zhang Yu wants to live, he still has a wife and an unborn child, and he doesn't want to be cheated again.
Yes, he has no confidence in this person at all now. These archeology students are not as professional as Mei Qian in terms of ability and means to get down to the tomb. Otherwise, how could the tomb passage collapse?
The headlamps provided by the archaeological team were of good quality and fully charged, so they should be able to cope with the situation for a while. However, Zhang Yu was afraid of waste, so after circling the stone platform a few times, he asked to turn on only one lamp.
The compressed food they carry is quite sufficient, and the drinking water is a little less. If you save a little, it can last for a few days. If it is not enough, you can still use the water in the abyss, and the air seems to be enough.
I thought that as long as I kept an eye on Professor Chen and comforted the crying male reporter and the two archaeological assistants, I would have to spend a monotonous but safe period of waiting.
Unexpectedly, after eating something and chatting, Professor Chen finally became honest, and the male reporter named Zhou Yuze and the two archaeological assistants also regained their composure.
But not long after, a few heavy and chaotic footsteps completely ruined Zhang Yu's plan.
Even though there was the sound of the "waterfall" rushing around, the non-human and extremely slow footsteps could still be heard clearly in everyone's ears.
Moreover, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhang Yu and several colleagues were the first to react, turning on the lights and shining them in the direction of the sound. Then they felt bad.
I saw more than a dozen staggering figures slowly approaching the crowd. At first, these figures looked like people, but some had half of their faces missing, with an eyeball still hanging from the corner of their mouth, and some had no arms, but had roots.
Tentacle-like things squirmed on the shoulders, and some exposed their empty bellies, and the white bones could be seen at a glance. Moreover, these "people" were wearing shabby clothes, some were in ancient costumes, and some were wearing modern mountaineering clothes.
All of them had shriveled skin and stiff movements. They were similar to the zombies in the movie, except that they were all wet. Zhang Yu even saw the corpse he checked before the accident was among them.
"Ah..." "Ghost..." After several harsh screams, Zhang Yu's team suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, continuous gunshots rang out, and Zhang Yu also took out his pistol and shot the zombies in the head.
It's a pity that these corpses are different from the movies. Zidan cannot be shot at all. Even if it hits the eyebrow, it will only leave a shallow small hole.
Even the "modern tomb robber" he touched before, who looked the same as half a corpse, turned into a steel frame?
Zhang Yu quickly organized his people, helped several people who were paralyzed by fear, and began to retreat.
Since it had no effect, several police officers with guns also stopped shooting in order to save ammunition.
Perhaps because of being attacked, the zombies' desire to attack suddenly became very strong, and their pace became faster, but the speed of humans was a little slower than that of ordinary people.
This gave everyone a chance to escape.
Zhang Yu had previously observed the surrounding situation. The stone platform connected four stone bridges, but at this time one was completely washed away by the flood. Two of them collapsed in half, which was extremely difficult. Only one was still intact.
The stone platform was not large enough to deal with these monsters, so he had no choice but to take people up the bridge, which meant that they went deeper.
Everyone ran across the stone bridge as fast as they could, and there was another corridor in front of them.
Zhang Yu turned around and glanced at the monsters still staggering in the middle of the stone bridge. For some reason, a curse word came to his mind.
Mei Qian, you bastard, didn’t you say that the zombies and everything in your book were all made up? They were made up, your sister was made up!!! (To be continued)
