There was a loud noise and smoke filled the air. Ouyang Ping'an placed the explosive just right, blasting a hole more than one meter wide and two meters high in the sealed passage, just enough for a fully armed soldier to walk in.
Ye Han didn't know exactly how Ouyang Ping did it. He only knew that Ouyang Ping and a few soldiers worked back and forth for more than ten minutes, using lasers to drill dozens of holes in the door before finally placing the explosives.
.
Presumably those dozens of holes were not made in vain.
After the gunpowder smoke cleared, it was so dark behind the exploded cliff that nothing could be seen clearly.
Ye Han did his part and walked in first. After turning on the night vision device, he could clearly see what was going on inside.
This is a cave with a height and width of more than four meters. There are stones everywhere on the cave wall. There is no trace of artificial construction. Anyone who sees this cave cannot associate it with the underground city.
.
But after looking down, the situation was different. The floor of the cave was unexpectedly flat. You could tell at a glance that this place was not simple.
Time waits for no one, Ye Han did not dare to delay, and immediately said on the radio: "Ouyang Ping!"
"arrive!"
"You lead three groups to stay and guard the entrance. Don't let the insects come in. I will ask the battleship to assist you!"
"yes!"
"Also, just in case, you can place explosives at the entrance of the cave. If an extreme situation occurs, I authorize you to blow up the entrance. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understand!"
"Okay, carry the wounded, others follow me!" After saying that, he led the team towards the depths of the cave.
After walking for a while into the cave, obvious traces of chiseling appeared on the cave wall. After walking for a while, a dim light appeared on the top of the cave!
When we got here, we could no longer see anything like a natural cave. The cave walls were all made of concrete, probably to rush the work. The walls were so rough that I touched them with my hands and polished them blankly.
Ye Han turned off the night vision device and whispered to Gu Cheng: "There is still electricity, so the underground city should be fine. We still have time, so we will definitely make it in time."
Gu Cheng's mood improved a lot, but he still didn't dare to be too optimistic: "I hope."
"Don't worry." Ye Han comforted her.
Gu Cheng twitched his lips and said nothing, and the team returned to silence.
In the blink of an eye, within ten minutes, various signs began to appear on the wall - this was a sign of approaching the underground city!
However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his fist on his shoulder. Seeing this action, the soldiers stopped in unison, and the scientific expedition members also subconsciously stopped. There was only one scientific expedition member who didn't know why.
After taking two more steps, I realized something was wrong and stopped in surprise.
Xiao Yuan immediately pointed the flat-end rifle forward: "Captain, there are several corpses in front of you!"
Ye Han immediately replied: "Search forward!"
Xiao Yuan made an advance gesture, and the soldiers advanced with their guns in hand. They quickly passed the corpse and confirmed that there was no danger behind the corpse. Xiao Yuan then whispered on the radio: "Safe!"
Ye Han made a gesture to the soldiers beside him, and a group of people immediately rushed to the body.
All the corpses were very mutilated, just like the corpses that had been eaten by giant insects on the road, except that they had not been eaten clean, and there was still a lot of meat left on the bones, which could roughly tell the appearance of the person.
Complete corpses and real bones actually don't look that scary, only this kind of mutilated corpse looks the most horrifying.
The soldiers have been fighting against insect swarms and aliens all year round, and they don’t have much experience. However, the scientific expedition team members are different. It is the first time for many of them to come into close contact with corpses, and they are rotten corpses.
Such a sight made them feel nauseated and almost vomited.
Ye Han frowned and said, "Insect bite?"
The military doctor replied: "Yes!"
Ye Han's mind was buzzing. The problem was now big. How could there be giant insects here?
Judging from the condition of the corpses, there are not many giant insects, so Ye Han is not very worried. However, the entrance to the dungeon is intact, but there are several corpses near the entrance to the dungeon. Doesn't it mean that the giant insects have entered the underground?
city?
This is not good news.
Ye Han thought for a while and then said: "How long has it been?"
The military doctor shook his head and said: "It's hard to say the specific time, but the temperature in the cave is relatively low. I think it must be about ten days, and it should not be more than half a month."
This place is deep underground, and the temperature is relatively constant, with the highest temperature not exceeding five degrees above zero, so some traces on the corpses have been preserved to this day. If they were on the surface, these corpses would have been highly decomposed... No, they should have been eaten by giant insects.
Became bones.
Ye Han looked deep into the passage: "It's about the same time as mentioned above, something must have happened down there!"
Gu Cheng was immediately shocked: "Captain Ye, what should we do?"
"It should be fine." Ye Han gritted his teeth and said, "It only lasts half a month. As long as the operating room is still there and disinfected and tidied up, it should be usable!"
As he spoke, he turned his attention to the military doctor.
The military doctor agreed: "It should be fine." After saying that, he added in his mind, as long as the operating room was not damaged.
Gu Cheng was full of words, but he didn't know what to say.
Ye Han looked at the time: "There is still a little time, we must speed up, and then slow down and move forward after entering the city!"
The team set off immediately, and the soldiers automatically surrounded the scientific expedition team and protected all the scientific expedition members.
During the march, the military doctor came close to Ye Han and whispered: "Captain, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Ye Han asked calmly.
The military doctor said: "Although these corpses have been eaten by giant insects, judging from the remaining tissues, they should not have been bitten to death by insects.
Ye Han paused and immediately pretended to be nonchalant: "Are you sure?"
"Yes." The military doctor said with certainty.
Ye Han was very surprised: "How to judge?"
The military doctor explained: "It's mainly about the cross-sections of the wounds. The giant insects have no habit of biting them to death and then eating them. They are torn apart while they are still alive. The wounds left behind have responses to life, but the cross-sections of the wounds on these corpses do not."
"What's the reaction?" Ye Han asked in surprise.
"Live, survive and live!" said the military doctor. "It's just that the wounds on living creatures turn to both sides. This phenomenon does not occur after death."
Ye Han suddenly said: "I understand, then have you discovered the cause of their death?"
"I found half a wound, and the bones in the wound were all broken. It seemed like a gunshot."
Ye Han's pupils shrank: "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it is."
Xiao Yuan, who had been listening in, couldn't help but interrupt: "What happened to this place?"
Ye Han was overwhelmed with emotion: "I want to know too!"
At this time, Xiao Yuan saw a distance sign posted on the wall and immediately reminded: "We will enter the city in one hundred meters!"
"Got it!" Ye Han tightened his grip on the rifle, "Everyone pay attention, search forward, everyone is ready to fight!"
Originally this chapter was going to be called "The Corpse Can Talk". I remembered that it was the name of a book. Then I thought about it and was worried that there would be a problem with using this as a chapter name, so I finally changed it to the current chapter name... By the way, I have been reading a few books recently.
The warnings were given for the first time, all of which were minor violations of the chapter content. They have been revised and passed. What exactly is the violation?
