"Is this a monkey?" Zhang Yu followed the light of the flashlight, looked at the animals coming up around him, and directly opened the safety of the pistol.
"And they are monkeys that are ready to eat people." Mei Qian was not in a good mood. He did not believe that these were really monkeys from the outside world. After all, he had also been to the zoo. The monkeys' calls were not so harsh and ferocious, let alone
Such a big body shape.
At this time, there were five or six more monkeys in front of the two people, and more monkeys climbed up the cliff one after another and approached, their sharp and terrifying teeth demonstratively displayed, obviously looking like they were hunting.
Rather than saying they are primates, it is more appropriate to describe them as evil spirits in hell.
As if they were concerned about the beam of the flashlight, the monsters gradually gathered around the two of them, roaring from time to time. They did not take the initiative to attack, but they did not retreat, but only stared at the two of them eagerly.
There were more and more monkeys, from five or six at first, they gradually gathered into more than a dozen, and listening to the sound, it seemed that there were still monkeys coming from a distance.
It seems that these "monkeys" have very high IQs and are very organized. Once they find that the flashlight light source will not cause harm, they will not be far away from attacking in groups.
Looking at the monsters getting closer and closer, the two of them looked at each other and knew that once the encirclement was formed, they would be attacked from both sides, which would be very troublesome.
Fortunately, they had already reached the platform. If they had stayed on the previous cliff path, they would undoubtedly have been helpless in the fight.
But you can't let yourself be surrounded so easily.
So, in unison, the two of them, one holding a gun and the other holding a dagger, slowly retreated to the innermost side of the platform.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and gunshots suddenly rang out around him. With a shrill howl, a monkey fell to the ground with blood pouring from its chest.
The sound of the gunshot was very loud in this empty and deep underground space, and it brought an echo. This caused the monkeys to stop closing the circle and even took a few steps back in fear. However, facing the two people, they still roared.
"You're so scared and you don't even run away. It seems like you really treat us as food." Mei Qian sighed and asked, "How many bullets do you have left?"
"Only four rounds left." Zhang Yu smiled bitterly.
"When you go out to the police, you can't bring more bullets with you?" Mei Qian complained, and casually handed over the flashlight: "Keep the bullets for me for lighting."
"You..." Zhang Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Mei Qian forced the flashlight into his hand and jumped forward, reaching the nearest monkey.
Then there was a flash of cold light, and the monkey's neck was wiped.
Seeing such a neat move, Zhang Yu also knew what was the safest approach, so he resisted the urge to step forward to help, and honestly cast the flashlight beam in front of Mei Qian, lighting it up while holding a gun for cover.
Support.
The blood stimulated the murderous nature, and the enraged monkeys started to commotion and attacked Mei Qian one after another.
In fact, Mei Qian's skills came from training, not through fighting. It was the first time he used it so unscrupulously, and he still lacked experience. Apart from the fierce and neat first blow, he was still in a hurry for a while.
Fortunately, these monkeys seem to live underground all year round and are very sensitive to light. Once the flashlight beam shines on them, their reactions are inflexible. And compared to humans, their strength is much smaller. Mei Qian's body
His quality and nerve reaction speed are far beyond those of ordinary people. Even in an invisible environment, a monkey's sneak attack will not be able to hurt him.
This also made Mei Qian very happy.
These monkeys are very intelligent and seem to find Mei Qian not to be trifled with, so some of them turn to attack Zhang Yu.
Following two gunshots, two more monkeys fell into a pool of blood.
The group of monkeys finally got scared. After throwing away more than a dozen corpses, the remaining monkeys screamed and fled away.
After everything calmed down, Mei Qian took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Yu and took two strong puffs to suppress the nausea.
Even if you kill just an animal, it will eventually cause discomfort, let alone a group of them.
The two of them were silent, finished their cigarettes facing each other, and then followed the wind to find their way out without saying a word.
But after taking a few steps, Mei Qian suddenly stopped: "Listen, what's the sound?"
Zhang Yu's eyebrows were beating wildly, weren't they? There was another monster? He listened attentively at the moment.
After a while, he frowned: "It seems to be the sound of knocking stones, very regular. Could it be those monkeys?" Then he said in surprise: "Three short, three long, three short, it's asking for help!"
Mei Qian's face showed joy and he quickly quickened his pace. If no one else fell in at this time, it would most likely be Maomao.
After walking for about half a minute, I saw a dark cave entrance appearing on the cliff ahead, and the sound became clearer, clearly coming from the cave.
The entrance of the cave was as tall as a person, and it was most likely the nest of those monkeys, because as soon as the two of them stood at the entrance of the cave, a strong fishy smell hit their nostrils.
Mei Qian didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
Zhang Yu originally wanted to advise him to be more cautious, but seeing his eagerness, he could only follow behind and turn on the pistol safety at the same time.
It seemed that the monkeys in the cave were scared away. They were not attacked. The cave was not deep, and it turned a corner. Under the flashlight beam, the scene inside the cave was clearly visible.
Only two people were seen lying in the middle. The older one had blood on his head and his eyes were closed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The other was a petite girl. She was lying on her side, facing the entrance of the cave, holding a stone tightly in one hand. But at this time, she seemed to be unconscious and had no reaction when she saw the person coming.
Knocking on the ground continuously.
"Maomao?" Mei Qian shouted in surprise and walked over quickly.
That girl was none other than the missing assistant Maomao. When she heard this familiar voice, the girl's eyes flashed with surprise and she weakly responded: "Qian, Brother Qian, you..." But the words were not finished yet, maybe because her tense nerves were relaxed.
, the person actually fainted.
Mei Qian was anxious and hurriedly stepped forward, but he did not dare to touch the other person's body. He just stretched out his hand to check her body. When he saw the wound on the other person's head clearly, his heart sank.
"They just fainted from exhaustion." Mei Qian said calmly, then turned to Zhang Yu: "I feel like this place is not far from the ground. Can you try to see if there is a mobile phone signal so that we can call for support?"
"Okay!" Zhang Yu nodded, took out his cell phone and walked out.
When he turned around, a bottle of mineral water appeared in Mei Qian's hand. He took out the Dahuan Dan from the warehouse and fed it to Maomao.
Fortunately, this elixir melts in your mouth and will take effect with just a little water.
After confirming that Maomao had eaten, he got up and went to check on another person.
This is an elderly man. Although I have never seen him before, I guess he must be Mao Mao’s father, Professor Mao.
He breathed and confirmed that the other party was still alive and that his injury was also on his head. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave him the Dahuan Dan.
He estimated that Maomao and his father fell down and were taken into the cave by the monkeys as food reserves.
Fortunately, the appearance of himself and Zhang Yu scared the monkey away, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
When Zhang Yu turned back in disappointment and saw the mineral water in Mei Qian's hand, he was just stunned for a moment, thinking that it was carried by Maomao or Professor Mao.
After feeding the two wounded men some healing medicine, Mei Qian finally let go of his worries. At this time, Mei Qian also felt thirsty. He poured half of the remaining mineral water into his mouth and gave the bottle to Zhang Yu.
The latter was not polite and drank too.
Then, the two men quickly walked out of the cave, each carrying a wounded person on their backs.
The rest of the road was much safer. There were no monkeys to harass them, and there were no more earthquakes. Mei Qian's guess was good. Where there was wind, there must be a way out. After walking for about half an hour, they saw something hanging in the sky.
of the moon.
Judging from the scattered stones on the hillside, it should be a path created after the earthquake. Unfortunately, it is far away from the archaeological team's camp, so no one has discovered it.
Leaning the wounded man against the mountain wall, Mei Qian and Zhang Yu also sat on the ground.
"The last two." Zhang Yu called his colleagues and explained the situation of himself and others, and described the characteristics of the location. He also laughed twice when he learned that the others were safe and sound.
Then he handed over the cigarette out of habit, and Mei Qian took it out of habit.
It feels quite refreshing to puff away the clouds at this time.
"Is the name Mei Qian real?" Zhang Yu suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Mei Qian curled her lips in disgust, thinking that the other party was still testing her, but Zhang Yu's next sentence almost made him choke to death on the smoke: "I've been thinking about what kind of parents would give their children such bad luck.
name?"
"Cough! Cough!" Mei Qian put out the cigarette butt angrily, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and responded to Zhang Yu, who was looking at the mocking face: "I forgot."
The two chatted like this, and finally a large army arrived, including people from the TV station, the rescue team, and Zhang Yu's colleagues. But there were no people from the Archeology Bureau. Li Chen gloated that Captain Yang was in Mei
Qian and Zhang Yu were taken away by the disciplinary inspection unit after their accident.
Mei Qian originally wanted to smoke cigarettes again, but as soon as the female reporter from the TV station saw him, she pointed the microphone at his black face and asked a series of questions.
"Mei Qian, did you come to the archaeological station this time to identify the site? I heard that you fell into an ancient tomb. Did you rely on your experience in tomb robbing to escape? You are underground..."
Zhang Yu politely pushed the camera aside, and left with his colleagues surrounding Mei Qian.
Unfortunately, until the group got back into the prison car, Maomao and her father still hadn't woken up and could not have a good meeting with him.
