Qin Da, whose face turned dark, finally couldn't help but get angry.
Cao Xiong's old face stiffened and he said sarcastically:
"If you look at it, there is no missing piece of meat. What are you afraid of? Liu Shiba is also looking at it. Why don't you talk about him?"
Qin Da stared and said angrily:
"He is my master. Don't just look at him. Even if he is about to sleep, I will offer him with both hands."
Liu Shiba and Yamamoto Xiaoying, who was squatting on the ground, grinned at the same time and were shocked...
You are so stupid...
After a few minutes, Yamamoto Xiaoying stood up with a solemn expression, suddenly silent, with deep shock in his eyes.
"how?"
Liu Shiba looked at Yamamoto Xiaoying quietly.
Yamamoto Xiaoying's eyebrows were knitted together, and she counted on her fingers, then raised her head and explained in a very low voice:
"These corpses are at least thousands of years old, and the most important thing is that these corpses don't seem to be normal human beings.
You see, the skulls and foreheads of these corpses obviously protrude a lot, and the proportions of the brains and bodies are not proportional.
The most important thing is that these corpses are all minors, which means that the bone age is no more than ten years old at most. The cause of death is unknown, and the most likely cause is starvation."
Liu Shiba said in surprise:
"If you're not a human being, you still starve to death after thousands of years?"
After hearing Yamamoto Xiaoying's explanation, several other people also looked disbelieving and gathered around to look down at the seven or eight skeletons of young men.
A rough visual inspection shows that these twisted bones are only one and a half meters long, and they must be teenagers. As for whether they are human beings, there is currently no way to prove this.
The strange skeleton still put everyone in a bad mood, and they all felt chills running down their spines.
In the dark underground, these people slowly starved to death. It makes people shudder just thinking about it...
Cao Xiong shook his gray head and said in shock:
"Since these skeletons are thousands of years old, it seems that this place, the Sea of Zen Stones you predicted in the 18th century, may be quite mysterious..."
Chen Haowen looked shocked, nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy...
What secrets are there in the Sea of Zen Stones, or in this cave buried deep underground?
Is Lao Shaluzi really hiding here?
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba couldn't help but take a flashlight and look around in the underground cave.
The cave is very large, about ten meters high and covering an area of several thousand square meters. It is not as dark as the corridors and rooms above. Not only that, there are traces of faint white light emitting from the cave walls.
Liu Shiba took two steps forward curiously, knocked a piece of gravel from the cave wall, and checked it, but found nothing. He had no experience with ore.
"What kind of rock is this? Can it still be shiny?"
Liu Shiba was curious about the gravel in Yangyang's hand.
Chen Haowen walked to Liu Shiba curiously, stretched out his hand and said:
"show me."
Liu Shiba smiled, threw the gravel to Chen Haowen, and said doubtfully:
"Aren't you a tour guide? Do you know about minerals?"
Chen Haowen smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed at his nose and said with a smile:
"Do I look like someone who knows about minerals? A few years ago, a friend and I went through some precious stones.
I can see that this stone is shining, and it seems to be very similar to some kind of stone."
After looking down for a while, Chen Haowen suddenly raised his head and said:
"Isn't this fluorite, commonly known as luminous stone?"
Liu Shiba was stunned and said:
"You said, it's the Night Pearl?"
"No, the luminous pearls are carved from large pieces of fluorite, and these are just some very small fluorite.
But it’s not easy to have so many glowstones in such a big cave. There’s something wrong underground, or rather around here…”
Chen Haowen explained it again.
"It's wrong to have luminous stones. What's the logic of this?"
Liu Shiba was confused. He didn't know everything. When he encountered something he didn't understand, of course he had to ask for advice.
Chen Haowen knocked on the cave wall a few more times, looked closely for a while, and then turned around and said:
"As I thought, these fluorescent stones have undergone intense radiation, so they reacted with the scales inside, so they can glow at this time."
Cao Xiong held his tongue and interjected:
"The old man has heard a little bit of what Chen Haowen said! However, it is not simple for fluorite to glow in the dark after being illuminated by a light source.
Generally, these fluorite can only glow after being exposed to intense radiation, but the shortest duration is one year and the longest is only five years, after which the luster will gradually fade.
Of course, if it experiences strong radiation next time, the scales contained in these fluorite will also be able to shine again."
After listening quietly to Chen Haowen's explanation, Liu Shiba's heart brightened, and he looked around with a very heavy voice and said:
"I know how the corpses of those suspected children died just now. They were all killed here by some kind of strong radiation.
And this kind of radiation should still be there now, otherwise there would be no astigmatism on the walls."
"Master, what should we do now? That grandson of Feng Hao has gone to nowhere."
Qin Da asked with bulging eyes.
"As long as we are sure that Feng Hao has disappeared and has been here, everything will be easy to handle. Let's search separately on the ground. We will definitely leave some clues."
Sure enough, less than a minute after everyone dispersed, they heard Liu Qianqian's voice:
"Come on, I found Feng Hao's footprints."
Upon hearing this, the other people immediately rushed to Liu Qianqian's side.
Liu Shiba shined his flashlight on the ground and found that they were indeed footprints. As for whether they were Feng Hao or not, he had a clear answer.
It must be yes, because Liu Shiba had noticed Feng Hao's shoes in the room above.
Feng Hao is wearing a very common military leather boots.
"Follow the footprints and go forward. We will leave this cave. There is radiation here."
Liu Shiba said solemnly.
Then, Liu Shiba and his party of six people followed Feng Hao's footsteps and hurried forward slowly.
This time, the person walking in the lead turned out to be Cao Xiong. This old guy had some knowledge about traces and footprints?
"Damn, what is this?"
However, after walking less than a hundred meters, Cao Xiong stopped and let out an exclamation.
Liu Shiba squeezed towards Cao Xiong from behind and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Cao Xiong said nothing and pointed the flashlight in his hand at a place under the cave wall in front of him.
At a glance, Liu Shiba's eyes were in a trance. Under the flashlight, he saw another corpse lying under the cave wall.
Liu Shiba still has an impression of this corpse.
Not only Liu Shiba has an impression, everyone still remembers it a little bit!
Isn't this guy her so-called husband when she kidnapped Yamamoto Xiaoying and others in the sand dune?
Yamamoto Xiaoying and that guy pretended to be a couple, but later on, didn't this guy go back to the supply depot with the two escorts Wen Wei and Wang Guanghui?
"Little girl Yamamoto, come and see, your husband is dead..."
Cao Xiong spoke without restraint and shouted directly.
Yamamoto Xiaoying looked unkind, walked past Cao Xiong and glared at him fiercely:
"My man is Qin Da. He lives a very energetic life."
Cao Xiong grinned:
"I'm talking about my ex-husband..."
Yamamoto Xiaoying turned her head in anger and looked at the ground, her face turning pale involuntarily.
Lying on the ground was indeed the man who was turning around the supply station with another Dongfeng Warrior.
Liu Shiba is now certain that this guy must be Japanese. Otherwise, how could he pretend to be a couple and come to Lop Nur to wait for him and his party?
The only thing I'm not sure about is that the escort and the two drivers don't know whether it's true or not.
After a while, Xiaoying Yamamoto, who was checking the body, still squatted on the ground in the same position.
Liu Shiba patted her shoulder in confusion and said curiously:
"What are you doing? Talk, how did he die?"
Yamamoto Xiaoying stood up suddenly, his face twisted, his teeth clenched tightly, and it took a long time to say three words:
"He was eaten to death..."
