Human beings are naturally afraid of things that can harm them.
Mei Qian felt that all the nerves in his body were trembling. He couldn't help but tighten his muscles to calm himself down a little and look into those giant eyes.
At this moment, he finally understood why archaeologists could not find the location of the ancient tomb from the mountains and ground despite searching all the information.
In such a deep place, some agencies also need to use underground water veins, and several "vents" like ancient wells in the park are arranged on the surface.
This is not an ancient tomb at all, but like the underground ruins excavated in Dongshan, it is an altar for the blood sacrifices of ancestors.
What's even more terrible is that after nearly three thousand years, the object of their sacrifice is still alive?
Mei Qian took a breath, threw away the stone in his hand, and quietly pulled out the Hanxing Sword.
At this time, a head that was bigger than the head of a truck slowly poked out from above. The snake letter, which was as thick as a bucket, was swinging flexibly. It was only half a meter away from Mei Qian, and a disgusting stench hit his nostrils.
.
"Ah!" Mei Qian was still calm, but there were exclamations behind him.
He didn't care, and pointed his free hand towards a certain passage on the left: "Go in!"
Since the crisis comes from the giant snake in front of us, and all passages are temporarily safe, it is better not to let these people feed the giant snake.
As the lights swayed, the others wished they had four legs and ran towards the corridor desperately.
The giant snake's head shook slightly, as if attracted by the sound, but later it focused on Mei Qian.
In just a moment, nearly half of the long body slid down from above, and the hard scales rubbed against the ground, making a sound of gold and iron.
However, just this section of the body is enough to shock people.
Mei Qian couldn't help but shrink her eyes and was secretly frightened.
Suddenly, Zhang Yu's familiar voice came over: "Quick, here..."
He glanced around with the corner of his eye and saw that everyone had run deep into the passage, but Zhang Yu was still at the entrance of the cave, looking here.
Mei Qian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he regained his energy and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife. A sharp aura could not help but emanate from his body.
After that, he turned around and ran away as fast as he could in his life.
Everyone else is safe, so why stay here and fight the monsters? He's not stupid.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Mei Qian and Zhang Yu met up, and then the two of them opened their legs and ran towards the depths at the same time with a tacit understanding.
Immediately afterwards, there was a huge crash behind them, and the entire corridor seemed to be shaking.
Fortunately, the giant snake's head was too big to get in. After a few hits, it only broke a few bricks at the entrance, and then gave up.
This made Zhang Yu and Mei Qian feel a little relieved, but they still didn't dare to stop for a moment and caught up with the others without slowing down.
However, a pair of cold vertical eyes still stared at their backs until they completely melted into the darkness.
The sound of the collision disappeared and the two people were seen again. The members of the archaeological team all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although most people were so scared that their legs were weak, they also knew that it was not the time to rest, so they still supported each other and continued to move forward.
Mei Qian automatically walked to the front of the team. Even without the stone, with his dangerous intuition and mechanism cracking, as long as there were no monsters here, he could handle it easily.
As he had guessed at a glance, there were no traps in this corridor, but it was much longer than the one he had passed before, and it was also winding and curved.
It can be clearly felt that they are going deeper.
But it’s not safe to turn back now, so it’s better to continue.
It took about five minutes of walking before we saw the exit, but everyone's nerves were tense again, and their steps paused.
Mei Qian's walking frequency did not change, because as early as he entered the corridor, he clearly heard the rustling noise.
He had heard this sound so many times that he knew what was outside without even looking.
It was only when he got closer to the exit that the sound reached the ears of ordinary people.
Perhaps this sound made many people uneasy and made them hesitate a little.
But after all, Mei Qian, the masked man, was there. After a while, they regained some confidence and continued to follow.
Only Zhang Yu's face hidden behind the gas mask was complicated. Such a loud noise triggered a very unpleasant but very shocking memory for him.
When everyone arrived outside, the sound was even more deafening like thunder.
All that caught the eye was black, not that the lights were out, but that countless crawling corpses submerged almost everything in the huge space in front of him.
This kind of scene can easily cause one hundred and eighty trypophobia patients to collapse.
However, no corpse cricket approached this group of people. Instead, they lingered for a while as if unwilling to do so before escaping far away.
Mei Qian didn't want to show off, let alone be exposed, so he didn't take out the Spiritual Transformation Seal to create a miraculous effect. But to this extent, it was reassuring enough.
Only when the nearby zombie swarms crawled away did they see clearly what was here.
Then everyone was speechless.
What you see are all skeletons, including animals and humans. What is unusual is that, whether it is the effect of the light or other reasons, these skeletons are all pale and pale, and they do not look like they have been deposited by time. Looking at them makes them feel more...
Weird and terrifying.
"This, the burial pit..." After a long time, Professor Chen stammered.
His words were instantly drowned in the rustling sound. However, Mei Qian heard clearly. He couldn't help but nodded, and then he slowly reached out and led everyone through the empty space in the middle of the corpse.
To be honest, even though he had seen similar scenes before, he still couldn't adapt to it at the moment, but the mask concealed his emotions.
Maybe they knew that talking at this time was futile, or maybe the scene in front of them had too much impact. No one spoke until they walked out of the burial pit, climbed the steps, entered another corridor, and walked a long way away. The sound of crawling corpses could no longer be heard.
.
Having seen monsters and corpse pits one after another, even Mei Qian felt tired. He simply stopped, threw the knife rest on the ground, and found a slightly cleaner place to sit down.
Others followed suit, but in fact many of them were holding on and refused to get up as soon as their buttocks touched the ground.
Otherwise, the policeman's psychological quality was strong enough. Zhang Yu had seen big scenes and was the first to respond. With a roll of his eyes, he took out cigarettes and lighters from his pocket, distributed them one by one, and lit them.
The other four policemen were unceremonious. After a moment of hesitation, Lao Zhao also started smoking.
Professor Chen refused directly. Among his two assistants, Xiao Wang accepted it, but he started coughing violently after taking a sip. He was obviously a novice.
Reporter Zhou Yuze, on the other hand, is a long-time smoker and is very skilled at blowing out smoke rings.
Finally, Zhang Yu arrived in front of the masked man and politely handed over the cigarette.
Mei Qian stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly put a hand on both sides of the mask, and there was a "click" sound, and a small section of the mask was removed, revealing a slightly bearded chin.
Unfortunately, this only covers the mouth, and the rest is still hidden under the mask.
Mei Qian took the cigarette naturally, lit it with a lighter, and nodded to Zhang Yu, who was a little stunned: "Thank you!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes, and he sat next to him and ordered some for himself.
A group of people puffed away and seemed to feel better all of a sudden. As for the non-smokers, they didn't care whether they were inhaling second-hand smoke at this time.
Zhang Yuyuan planned to continue condom contact.
However, he saw the corners of the masked man's mouth curling up, giving him a meaningful look, and then raising his hand with one hand, he completely lifted the hood.
Then, Zhang Yu stared at the masked man's head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
No wonder I can't find any hair. It turns out this guy has a shaved head...
--------------------------
In the underground tomb, when a group of survivors were taking a break and smoking, Ning Chi also had a cigarette in his mouth.
Of course, you don’t smoke while driving. It doesn’t matter if the car is parked on the side of the road.
"Tell me, why did you stop me?" Ning Chi blew out a smoke ring and looked carelessly at the four or five men in front of him who were soaked in the rain.
"Hello, we are the Xiadu Criminal Police. We have a few questions for Mr. Mei Qian. Is he in the car?" The round-faced leader took out his ID and said solemnly.
Ning Chi's eyes swept over the faces of several people without recognizing them. He frowned slightly and replied: "My boss is not in the car."
"Can we take a look?" the round-faced policeman continued to ask.
"Whatever." Ning Chi shrugged.
Before he finished speaking, a police officer opened the car door at the back and immediately reported: "Team leader, there is no one inside."
The round-faced policeman gritted his teeth: "Where is Mr. Mei Qian? Do you know?"
"The boss's friend is trapped in the tomb. He is in a bad mood and said he wanted to be alone. I don't know where he is now!" Ning Chi sighed.
"What about you? You came out of the community and wandered around the city for such a long time?" I don't know if it was because of the rain, but the round-faced voice became colder and colder.
"The boss's friend is also a friend of mine. I was in a bad mood, so I went out to drive to relieve myself." Ning Chi showed a sad expression on his face, paused and said, "Officer, is it not illegal to do this?"
"Your boss hasn't recovered from his injury, so why don't you let him wander alone in the heavy rain? You must know that the lungs are seriously injured, and catching a cold is very troublesome." The round face frowned.
"He is the boss, how can I, a part-time worker, dare to take care of it?" Ning Chi shook his head helplessly, and then asked: "Can I ask, has our boss committed another crime? Is it a big deal this time? We need to lock him up inside.
how long?"
This series of inquiries made several police officers unable to respond. After a long while, the round-faced man explained with a wry smile: "No, no, it's just that our captain has some questions about underground tombs and needs to ask Mr. Mei. If
If it's convenient, ask him to come to our police station for a chat. But his phone is turned off and the matter is urgent, so he has to come look for you."
"Is that so? Since it's none of my business, can I leave?" Ning Chi looked like he suddenly realized something. When he saw the opposite person nodding, he sneered: "The vehicle was stopped in the heavy rain and I almost got into a car accident. Please give me a warning.
Remember, wait for the complaint." After that, he threw half of the cigarette on the ground in front of the police and drove away...
