Chapter 249: The mysterious man in black, who is he?
Except for Sun Wenming, who was recuperating in the computer room, a group of nine people stood in front of a huge deep ditch, or rather on the edge of a huge circular pit, with pale faces.
That's right, it's a big circular pit.
"Luo Zhan, go back to the computer room. There are several electric switches on the right side of the door. Look carefully and try opening the electric switch near us until we see light."
Liu Shiba's hair stood on end as he pursed his lips and ordered.
Luo Zhan nodded with a sullen face and trotted away...
Liu Shiba looked at the frighteningly pale Cao Xiong behind him and said strangely: "Old Cao, when you and I talk about the past and the present, you always say that Qin Shihuang is the one emperor through the ages and created the unification of China.
I don’t know what you think when you see the scene in front of you. I’m very curious..."
Cao Xiong stood by the pit with a gloomy face, speechless for a long time.
At this time, Ning Min'er also woke up, clinging tightly to Liu Shiba, wrapping around his left arm, and finally said:
"It's impossible, it must be an illusion, it must be..."
Ai Lianhu, a short and capable bandit, has been fighting for a lifetime, but now he finally parted ways to see the blue sky and came to the real tomb of Qin Shihuang, although it was still on the periphery...
But now, Elian Hu is trembling all over, his shoulders are shaking uncontrollably, his face is pale and green, and his throat is shaking...
Look at Zheng Weida and Tian Mingjian again, they are even more miserable, holding their throats and vomiting wildly...
Both of them are soldiers in nature. They can be said to be strong warriors who are used to life, death and killing, but they still cannot resist everything that makes people collapse in front of them...
"boom!"
A loud sound of the incandescent lamp being turned on came from the high dome of the grotto.
In an instant, the underground space was vast and unobstructed...
The scene presented to everyone this time is even more shocking...
What kind of scene is that?
Luo Zhan trotted over at this time. As soon as he came over, he turned around and found a place to vomit like Zheng Weida and the others...
Only Liu Shiba, Cao Xiong, and Ai Lianhu were still standing on the edge of the pit.
This is a huge pit, a pit of corpses...
The length and diameter of the entire pothole exceeds several miles, and the end cannot be seen at a glance...
The bottom of the pit is about one or two hundred meters high from the edge of the pit where Liu Shiba and others are standing.
The bottom of the pit is covered with piles of white bones, and above the bones are crawling giant rats with red eyes, gnawing at these bones.
The rats here are completely different from the rats at the base. All of them have huge heads.
Mutant mice?
Looking at the scope of this corpse pit and the numerous bones inside, you can imagine how many people would have to be killed to accumulate it to such an extent?
It is very likely that the bones were as high as the pit at that time. Over thousands of years, they slowly rotted away and were eaten by these rats until they dropped below a few hundred meters.
There were not many of these rats at first, so they survived by eating the bones of the dead. Gradually, the rat colony grew and there was nothing left to eat.
At the bottom of the corpse pit, some bones can be clearly seen, especially the skull, which is particularly huge!
Just like, just like Zhu Yingtai now!
For some unknown reason, after eating these bones, these mice also acquired mutated genes and were gradually able to bite these bones.
Over thousands of years, the red-eyed rats slowly ate all the corpses in this corpse pit to where they are now.
Even so, at a glance, the number of bones is still difficult to see...
The number of rats is so huge that it is unimaginable. Just looking at it makes people feel hairy all over...
Thousands?
No, the number in billions is not excessive!
What’s even more frightening is that these mice all contain biological virus genes. If one escapes, it will cause huge disasters to the outside world...
"What is this? This is..."
The corners of Cao Xiong's lips trembled.
"This is the corpse pit. Do you still remember the legend about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? About the construction of the mausoleum?"
Liu Shiba gradually calmed down and asked calmly.
"Why don't you remember it? But it is a legend after all."
Cao Xiong twisted his old face.
"Old Cao, I don't understand any of this, can you tell me?"
Tian Mingjian, who was vomiting and vomiting, came over and asked with a sullen face.
At the corner of Tian Mingjian's lips, there was still a trace of minced meat left after vomiting...
Cao Xiong took a deep breath, picked up the mineral water bottle and drank a few sips, remaining silent...
"Uncle Cao, just tell me!"
Ning Min'er cautiously called Cao Xiong uncle.
Hearing Ning Min'er call him Uncle Cao, the gloom on Cao Xiong's face immediately faded away, and he smiled brightly and said:
"Okay! Since Miss Ning wants to listen, the old man will rely on his old age for once."
Liu Shiba glared at Cao Xiong with contempt and thought:
"Is it really an age to look at faces? Labor and management and Tian Mingjian want you to say you should be angry? Damn it, a woman calls you uncle and you smile?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Cao Xiong cleared his throat, looked at the people who were eagerly approaching, and with a trace of triumph in his eyes, he slowly started talking:
"It is said that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin was designed by Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and the construction was supervised by the Shaofu Ling Zhang Han.
At that time, it was said that a total of 720,000 laborers were recruited, plus one rest, two death row prisoners and prisoners. The final number of people used to repair the tomb reached a maximum of 800,000.
If compared with the number of people who built the pyramids in Egypt, it is almost eight to ten times the number of people who built the Pyramid of Khufu."
Having said this, Cao Xiong glanced strangely at the people around him who were listening to his words, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes as he said:
"Now the old man knows where those 800,000 workers are. It's right here, in the big pit at our feet."
Liu Shiba seemed to know the answer and said calmly:
"Go on!"
Cao Xiong nodded and said:
“The project of Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum is said to be massive, employing a large number of workers, and lasting for a long time.
The construction of the imperial mausoleum followed Qin Shihuang throughout his life. When he first ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, it was 247 BC, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum began in that year.
The custom of ancient emperors starting to build mausoleums during their lifetimes was not initiated by Qin Shihuang. As early as the Warring States Period, it had become a common practice for princes and kings to build mausoleums during their lifetimes.
For example, the Shouling Mausoleum was built in the fifteenth year of the reign of Marquis Su of Zhao, and the tomb of King Zhongshan in Pingshan County was also built during his lifetime.
However, Qin Shihuang advanced the time of building the mausoleum during the monarch's lifetime to the early stage of his accession to the throne. This was an improvement on his part.
The entire cemetery project lasted for thirty-nine years and was not completed until the death of Qin Shihuang.
Then Emperor Qin II Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, and it took another year to build it before it was basically completed."
After saying this, Liu Shiba nodded and said:
"Actually, the main thing is to build this place. The one in Xianyang is a fake mausoleum. It may be full of fake antiques and jewelry, but the real value is in this underground cave."
Cao Xiong nodded and said in confusion:
“What I don’t understand is why so many prisoners and workers were killed?
After so many strong laborers are drawn out and equipped with weapons, they will become an army of 800,000 people.
The rebel armies of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are just a mob, and they may not be able to conquer the world."
When Liu Shiba heard this, his eyes flashed and he looked at the huge red-eyed mice in the pit, and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.
"Perhaps, during the excavation of this tomb, the workers dug something underground? That caused a biological virus infection?
Then Hu Hai was forced to have no choice but to keep secret, so he killed everyone here? You know, it was not Ying Zheng who issued this order, but Hu Hai..."
After listening to Liu Shiba's explanation, Cao Xiong nodded in agreement and said:
"Most likely."
At this time, Ning Min'er suddenly pointed to the far distance opposite the death pit and said in confusion:
"Look at what's on the other side of the big pit? It's golden?"
Liu Shiba looked far into the distance. The opposite side of the pit was blurry. Due to the light from the dome, he could vaguely see a large palace complex...
"That's the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, our final destination..."
There was a hint of surprise on Liu Shiba's face and he laughed loudly.
At this time, Zheng Weida's eyes were filled with fear, and he pointed at the opposite side strangely and said:
"There is someone on the opposite side. Do you see? There is a man in black looking at us across the pit. He is looking at us?"
