The entrance to the first tomb is very narrow, only slightly larger than an adult's body, like the entrance to a pipe.
For thousands of years, this place has been submerged by underground water and buried in silence.
"I'm entering the first tomb." Lou Xiaoning said as she swam into the entrance. There seemed to be a gurgling sound of water around her. She felt the water pressure increasing, as if she was entering the depths of the seabed instead of a desert.
under.
Holding the underwater rifle on her body, she swam with her hands and kicked with her feet. The entrance was about the length of a stone wall. After a few steps, she entered the first tomb chamber.
Just when she crossed the boundary, Lou Xiaoning vaguely saw countless humanoid figures emerging from the water, all over the tomb space. Her heart tightened, and out of instinct and conditioned reflexes gained from many years of experience, she immediately
Just pull the trigger of the rifle in your hand.
But then she saw that those figures did not move, but just drifted there, as if they were...
Corpse.
"How..." Lou Xiaoning frowned, and gave way to the entrance to the tomb, and swam forward carefully.
Smirnov then swam in and had almost the same reaction, wondering: "What the hell is that?"
"It's a corpse. Please pay attention, there are a lot of corpses in the first tomb." Lou Xiaoning said quickly. The more he looked around clearly, the more chilled he became. "They are not mummies, they are some 'fresh' corpses. They don't look like they are mummies."
Rotting... The corpses I can see clearly now are all female..."
The members of the suicide squad immediately heard the sound of signal deterioration on the ground through their headphones: "Captain Lou, there is no underwater camera signal in the first tomb... There is abnormal force interference inside... We can't see it, please describe it.
What you see..."
The four people who entered the tomb were silent for a moment, not wanting to describe the strange and tragic scene here.
There were dozens of corpses floating around at a glance, almost shoulder to shoulder, with their long hair floating upwards and their bodies sinking.
Every corpse they saw clearly for the time being was an adult woman, wearing ancient Egyptian-style robes and some jewelry. They were all dressed up gorgeously. These women were all young, tall, and good-looking.
Including different races, Middle Eastern, Asian, white, black...
"The bodies have not floated, so it is impossible to determine the duration of death." Lou Xiaoning said. After swimming a little, the two bodies were less than one meter away.
Their faces were pale, their eyes were wide open, and the pupils inside had already dilated and turned into a cloudy mess.
But in the silent chaos, there seemed to be a hint of fear before death.
This fear is also revealed in their stiff bodies, twisted muscles, and silent whining.
"It's impossible to determine the cause of their death," Lou Xiaoning added. "There were no obvious external injuries, and we didn't even see any blood. They might have drowned alive, but I couldn't see any obvious distension of their abdomens... Their gestures
, not crossing the chest, but lifting it forward, it looks a bit like worshiping..."
Dozens of silent female corpses were floating like this, as if performing some kind of ritual.
At this time, Xiao Xu's voice came from the earphones, speaking a little faster than usual: "Those corpses were sacrifices to the Nile. The ancient Egyptians already had the technology to measure water levels. They would set up water levels along the river.
, ceremonies are held near water levels in order to call for floods and increase the power of floods. Some of the water levels are special and are considered to be 'caves' and 'sources' that can control the Nile flood. Here
The most grand ceremony was held in this place, and one of the sacrifices was the so-called 'female doll', which was offered to the river god to bring fertility. I think the corpses you see are such sacrifices."
"Damn..." As Lou Xiaoning swam, the young female faces of the innocent victims appeared one after another. She was angry in her heart, "Those old scum of the Little Ram Cult, why don't they sacrifice their own mothers?"
It’s over.”
"The first tomb may affect the global flood situation." Xiaoxu said again, and the intermittent words made it clear: "That is part of the ceremony... I suggest you move those corpses out immediately... Then
Reduce the power of floods, be careful of their weight, they are already giving birth to floods..."
"Understood." Lou Xiaoning waved her hand and asked Smirnov and the others to search the surroundings with her. "First team, search the surroundings and slowly approach the door of the second tomb to take a look; second team, come in
Transport these corpses out; Team 3, guard the stairs."
Everyone immediately agreed, and the four people in the tomb swam away to search carefully.
First, we need to count the number of corpses. Are these really corpses, or are there still living people?
It is also necessary to check the current condition of the tomb walls to see if they are in danger of collapse and whether they need urgent reinforcement.
And are there any traps or other discoveries?
At the same time, four people from the second team swam into the tomb from outside one after another, and Chen Jiahua was one of them.
Even though he had already learned about the situation from the team communication, when Chen Jiahua saw the corpses floating in the crowd, he still felt an instinctive chill, followed by complex emotions mixed with sadness and anger. He paused slightly and said,
Just start performing your tasks.
Four people worked in pairs, each pulling a corpse that had been inspected and identified by the first team. One person was responsible for dragging and transporting the corpse, and the other person was responsible for guarding against possible dangerous situations.
"I'll drag it." Chen Jiahua pulled the body of the young woman outside without his partner Billings saying anything.
After a person drowns, his body becomes heavier.
Even if he is young and strong, it is not easy to pull this body, and the water pressure here is weird...
Due to the narrow entrance of the tomb chamber, Chen Jiahua had to cross the passage in a posture that was almost holding the corpse in his arms. As soon as he squeezed in, he suddenly felt that the corpse he was dragging in his arms was as heavy as a boulder. He suddenly couldn't drag it at all.
Do not move.
But in this cramped stone wall passage space, he couldn't turn around, and even seemed... unable to get out. He seemed to be blocked here with the corpse. Even if the torrent hit, he couldn't shake it. However, at this time, the corpse seemed to be
With a slight movement, those women's long hair flew over and hit his mask, and the rational monitoring stone on his left hand glowed red. Chen Jiahua suddenly said anxiously: "There is something strange about the corpse, there is mental erosion..."
His right hand is about to make an old seal, and the staff responding outside the entrance may be doing the same.
But the corpse's hand grabbed his hand in turn and held it tightly.
