General Geng Yunpeng's words were spoken lightly, but there was a strong sense of crisis hidden in them. Especially the last sentence made Xu Qing feel wildly in his heart. The old general had lived to this age and was already living like a human being.
, I would definitely not say such depressing words unless there was a special reason. Is there anything else hidden in the underground of the ancient city besides the mirror antimatter device and the dark matter life form that the doctor told me about?
Geng Yunpeng saw the sudden change in Xu Qing's face and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Stop thinking nonsense. When people live to my age, they like to add some awareness of death to themselves at any time. Since ancient times, no one has died, only the positive side.
Only those who die will live longer. It is better to be prepared for the worst than to panic when something happens. That's the truth."
Xu Qing always felt uneasy about the old general's half-truths and half-false words. He wanted to open his mouth to ask questions but didn't know where to start. He could only nod in silence, hoping it was just the worst plan!
An hour passed quickly, and the soldiers of the two regiments once again arrived at the unrecognizable oasis. All the plants here had been burned by incendiary bombs, leaving only a piece of land exuding a burnt smell. The ancient city not far away had completely disappeared.
, under the baptism of special incendiary bombs, this land can no longer see any life.
Geng Yunpeng raised his hand and pointed to the ruins in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Weiguo, send an engineering company to enter the ancient city with us, and the others will stay put."
Jiang Weiguo, who was standing aside, shouted with his feet, turned and ran towards the soldiers who were waiting in line. In less than two minutes, the engineer company was assembled, and with all kinds of excavation equipment, Geng Yunpeng and a team of six scientists stepped in front of them.
The scorched earth is still warm.
Xu Qing was very confused about Geng Yunpeng's order. There were thousands of soldiers with loaded weapons and ammunition outside, so why did they come in with a group of engineers carrying hoes and shovels? He took a special look at these dozens of engineers and soldiers, and found that they still had weapons on their backs.
He carries a gun, but his combat effectiveness is unknown.
The ancient city was turned into a pile of irregular clods under the bombardment of incendiary bombs. When they stepped on it with just a little force, it was broken into pieces. The group searched carefully in the pile of clods, and all they found were some scattered arc-shaped bones.
The fragments were left behind after the heads were burned at high temperatures and exploded. It seems that the remaining parts of the headless corpses in the satellite photos are inside the ancient city. There is still no answer to what killed these people.
Xu Qing scanned the ground with his clairvoyant eyes. He quickly discovered the underground palace under the ancient city, but he did not speak out to reveal it, because these people would soon find that the entire ancient city was completely empty.
The soldiers of the engineering company were obviously experienced excavators. They soon discovered the existence of the underground palace. They took out their engineering shovels and started digging. In fact, Xu Qing had already discovered the hidden entrance to the underground palace. It was under a fat old man named Zou.
He stepped on the ground, but he didn't say much. These engineers were all professionals in digging the ground and digging holes, and they didn't need anyone else to tell them what to do.
Fatty Zou stepped on the entrance of the underground palace and kept talking. He pointed at the engineers who were immersed in digging and turned their heads to General Geng and said to General Geng: "They are digging too slowly like this. They must drill holes first to destroy them."
After understanding the structure of the ground and then digging deeper, what matters now is efficiency..."
General Geng smiled and said nothing, but Xu Qing beside him couldn't help but interrupt: "In these days, the layman will command the expert. The expert will only be sad. If you have the ability, you can dig it yourself."
Fatty Zou was so choked that his face turned red, and he said reluctantly: "You know what, this kind of underground palace must have more than two entrances and exits. As long as you find it correctly, you can save ten times the effort and the risk will be reduced."
Ten times. If they dig according to what I said, they can save a lot of time. You must know that this kind of floor tiles are difficult to dig. I will probably have to set up a tent here for the night today!"
Xu Qing felt very harsh when he heard what the old man said with a gun and a stick. He glanced at the engineers who were digging hard and found that they had dug dozens of fist-sized holes in the ground. These holes were arranged in an oval shape.
Now, as long as all these holes are connected, an entrance can be formed, but it will take more time. Fatty Zou has a right point of view. Entering such an excavated entrance will be much more dangerous.
Seeing that Xu Qing remained silent, Fatty Zou couldn't help but feel a little proud. He raised his chin and said, "It's not difficult to find the entrance if you give me some time. This is experience."
Xu Qing curled his lips, with a look of disdain on his face: "Some people are just talkative on paper, and wearing all kinds of high hats on their heads are actually a piece of shit." What he said was tantamount to pointing at Fatty Zou.
Cursing at the tip of his nose, the strange thing is that Fatty Zou doesn't take this kind of teasing seriously at all.
General Geng seemed to be interested in Fatty Zou's words, and finally interrupted: "Dr. Zou, can you really find the entrance to the underground palace?"
Fatty Zou had a disgusting expression on his face, glanced at Xu Qing and said, "Of course I can find the entrance, unlike some killers who only know how to talk."
Xu Qing smiled calmly and said: "It's hard to say who is better at talking and talking. How about we compete to see who can find the entrance to the underground palace first? Whoever finds it first wins."
Fatty Zou was quite arrogant about his professional knowledge. He raised his head and said: "Competition is a competition, but such a dry competition is boring. It is interesting to add some exciting prizes."
The smile on Xu Qing's face became even thicker. He took two steps forward and said, "Okay, just tell me what kind of lottery you want. This way everyone will be interested. I believe you can find the entrance to the underground palace soon." After saying this, he raised his head deliberately.
He raised his hands and said with a smile: "I don't have anything too valuable on me. If you like it, just ask."
Fatty Zou is definitely one of the best in the country in terms of professional knowledge, but he has two biggest problems: he loves to show off and he loves gambling, especially gambling. He doesn’t need to bet on anything expensive, but he has to enjoy the atmosphere.
, the size of the jackpot is not important, but it must be there, otherwise it is not called gambling. When he heard Xu Qing generously agreed to take a gamble, he was so excited that the pores in his body tightened, and a pair of eyes glanced around General Xu. He was looking for
A suitable gift.
"Just use this!" Fatty Zou's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at an object on Xu Qing's waist and said, "I bet on the pendant on your waist, I happen to have something similar to it on me that I can use to make it."
Colorful head." As he spoke, he reached out and took off a pendant from his neck. It was a jade dice made of green glass. This object was crystal clear and the carving was quite good.
Xu Qing's expression suddenly froze when he saw the jade dice he took out. This thing was so familiar. It was one of the high-end jade gambling tools that he had personally studied before.
