The gunshots and shouts behind them continued, and Mei Qian and the others quickened their pace and passed through the insect swarm.
He knew that as an experienced mercenary, he would not be defeated by some ancient mechanism people, but it was absolutely impossible to pass without breaking his muscles and bones.
However, there are still a bunch of cute little animals waiting to be entertained!
From the moment he learned that he was being kidnapped and was about to go to the grave, Mei Qian actually didn't worry much about his safety.
Because underground, relying on those anti-theft mechanisms, it is too easy to kill these people.
But whether it was directly or indirectly, if these people really died here, they would all be blamed on him.
Even if it does not violate the law, as an ordinary person, Mei Qian, who has never killed a chicken before traveling through time, is still quite hesitant.
When I got down to the tomb and saw the mercenaries guarding the cave entrance and the innocent lives they killed, I couldn't help but think about the outcome I would face if I didn't do anything.
When things come to an end, it's no longer something he thinks about.
Mei Qian dragged Ning Chi for a short distance and did not continue moving forward. Instead, she found a hidden corner to hide and turned off the flashlight and headlight.
Ning Chi squatted down, not knowing what Mei Qian was going to do.
The latter listened attentively until the gunshots and screams stopped for a moment. Then he suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the number of people who came down?"
Ning Chi thought for a moment: "31."
Mei Qian hummed and said nothing again.
After about a few minutes, the mercenaries must have broken through the machine dummy and arrived at the cave. Gunfire struck again, mixed with screams and curses, loud explosions and the sound of burning flames.
Even though I couldn't understand their words, I could guess what these people had encountered just from their panicked tone.
But not long after, with the last few gunshots, the surrounding area became completely quiet.
After squatting for another moment, Mei Qian stood up suddenly and lowered his voice: "No, I have to go back and take a look."
Ning Chi grabbed him and said in a panic: "Brother, they have guns."
"Then we have to take a look, the number of people is wrong." Mei Qian seemed very stubborn.
The number of people was indeed wrong. He had been relying on the screams to analyze the loss of the mercenary team. If he heard correctly, more than half of the mercenary team should have been lost in the stone room where the machine dummy was taken out earlier.
That's why he hid instead of moving forward, because he felt that thousands of bugs were definitely more difficult to deal with than dummies, and it would be normal for half of them to die.
Even if someone escapes safely, he must have thought that he, who was unarmed, would not confront them. In addition, there was a steady stream of poisonous insects threatening him, so he would just run for his life without even noticing himself hiding in the darkness.
By then he will be able to completely keep this gang of gangsters underground.
It's not that he is cruel, but he has to do this. There is no benefit in being soft-hearted in this situation.
But he listened back and forth, and even peeked out secretly. After these mercenaries were attacked by poisonous insects, they only met each other and then lost their voice. This was extremely abnormal, so after thinking twice, he decided to risk a trip back.
There was no need to light a lamp, because there were still unburned flames in the distance, and headlamps and flashlights covered with insects were still scattered on the ground.
Tiptoeing closer, the swarm of insects quickly fled, revealing the half-gnawed corpse underneath.
Mei Qian could now see at night and found nothing unusual. The dead people on the ground were certainly not a threat.
After lightly nodding his head, Ning Chi, who received the signal, endured his nausea and began to search for useful items. He first picked up the rifle on the ground, took out the magazine, took a look, and handed it to Mei Qian.
Mei Qian raised his eyebrows, imitating the look on TV, holding up a gun and about to leave, but was grabbed by Ning Chi. The other party stared at him with worry for a while, then sighed, stretched out his hand and put a hand on the gun.
Pull, there is a soft "click" sound, and the gun is loaded.
Mei Qian's face turned red. This was the first time he touched a real guy. He was inevitably a little excited, and he even forgot about this.
Fortunately, the light here was dim, he lowered his head, and no one saw his embarrassment. At this time, Ning Chi also picked a gun, and the two quietly re-entered the corridor.
However, their caution was completely in vain. Before they reached the stone chamber of the mechanical dummy, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, followed by a tremor in the entire underground space, like an earthquake, and the two of them almost lost their balance.
When the shaking stopped, Mei Qian didn't care about hiding anymore. He turned on his headlight and cursed: "They are so cruel. They are planning to trap us here."
Needless to say, someone must have destroyed the stone pillars above, causing the upper level tomb to collapse.
After that, he quickened his pace and entered the stone chamber of the machine dummy.
What you see is a tragic scene. You can see blood and body parts everywhere. Walking on the ground, you can often step on empty bullet casings and scattered dummy parts.
Now that the mechanism has been cracked, the two of them walked directly through the stone chamber and into the tunnel that fell in.
Sure enough, halfway through, the front was blocked by rocks and mud. Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally, it was definitely impossible to return the same way.
"Brother Qian, what should we do now?" Ning Chi asked worriedly.
Mei Qian had already fallen into the deep resentment of being buried twice in the grave twice. Hearing this, he wanted to sigh, but he immediately realized that he could not lose his morale at this time and said: "It doesn't matter, there must be other exits here.
"
Ning Chi seemed to have great confidence in him as a "grave robbing expert". After hearing these words, the worry on his face immediately disappeared.
In fact, Mei Qian can't guarantee that there will be a way out, but his space is fully equipped and there is no shortage of food. Even if there is no other way out, he can still dig a hole out!
It is said that before this trip, in order to avoid being buried in a sandstorm, he specially prepared an engineering shovel. Wouldn't it come in handy?
As they talked, the two returned to the stone room, looked for useful items in the backpacks of the mercenary corpses, and counted the number of dead. During this period, Mei Qian secretly hid a pistol and night vision goggles while Ning Chi was not paying attention.
After thinking about it, I collected a few more grenades for use in blasting.
"You Xiude and Ani were not found in the corpses. They must have run away. And 21 people died here, 6 died in the insect den, and 4 people are still alive?" Ning Chi said while putting the compressed food and flashlight
Stuff it into a clean backpack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Soon, the two of them each carried a backpack full of things and continued to move forward.
Just after leaving the stone room, Ning Chi seemed to remember something and said softly: "The six people in the insect cave were not bitten to death by insects before, but were killed by bullets in the head, killing them with one blow."
"So cruel?" Mei Qian frowned.
"Maybe it's to make them suffer less." Ning Chi sighed.
After a moment of silence, Mei Qian suddenly asked: "Can you see this? You can even guess the weapon model easily based on the sound. What did you do before?"
Ning Chi was stunned for a moment before replying: "I served as a soldier for two years during college, so of course I can distinguish the sound of gunshots from standard weapons. It was written on the resume I gave you."
Mei Qian paused for a moment, and then said as if he had suddenly realized something: "No wonder!" Then he asked again: "But we talked so much in the detention center, why didn't you mention it?"
Cough! For some reason, he didn't take the other person's resume seriously at all. He glanced at it hastily, and naturally couldn't remember many of the contents.
"A former soldier actually did something illegal. How embarrassing it would be to tell anyone about it." Ning Chi lowered his head, making it difficult to see the emotions on his face.
"It's okay, who hasn't made mistakes in their whole life? It's good that they have learned a lesson." Mei Qian said comfortingly.
"I really admire Brother Qian. He is very good at kung fu and knows a lot of things. He can face a bunch of murderers without changing his expression, unlike me..." Ning Chi turned to look at Mei Qian and said apologetically: "I
For someone who has been a soldier and has been trained, I want my boss to protect me and become a burden, I..."
"Nonsense, I invited you here as an assistant, and I didn't give you money to be a bodyguard. How can you feel guilty?" Mei Qian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and at the same time lowered his eyes to cover up the sparkle that flashed in his eyes and then disappeared instantly.
He patted the other party's shoulder gently: "Just because you say brother, I have to protect you, right?"
Ning Chi's face was filled with emotion, and then he frowned and said worriedly: "Brother Qian, since You Xiude and the others went out and destroyed the passage, it seems they don't want us to get out alive. If we return home, will they come and cause trouble?
"
"This is all for later, let's go out first." Mei Qian didn't care at all. Let's not talk about whether the domestic police are vegetarians. He has dangerous instincts and many cheats. He won't know who will take revenge on whom!
The two of them chatted in a relaxed atmosphere and soon returned to the insect lair.
The flames in the cave had long been extinguished, but the smell of roasting insects was still in the air. Mei Qian actually felt a little hungry...
