The two hundred and fortieth chapters rise again and again
After listening to Lin Qianyi's explanation, Officer Hu was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. His doubts about us just now were wiped away. He said, "You are indeed an expert from the Research Institute. Miss Lin, you are really amazing!"
I was surprised by what Lin Qianyi said just now: "Sister Lin, is this ancient Dian Kingdom so mysterious?"
Lin Qianyi said: "Yes, so if the remains of the ancient Dian Kingdom are really discovered here, it will be a major discovery that will shock the whole country."
Just when we were working hard, Officer Mu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped moving forward. Officer Hu was caught off guard and bumped into his back.
Officer Hu exclaimed and asked: "Heimu Mu, why did you stop? Is there something going on ahead?"
Officer Mu stood there motionless, without responding, just staring blankly at something in front of him. Upon seeing this, Officer Hu and we also looked there, intending to see what Officer Mu was looking at.
However, as the light of the flashlight hurriedly swept across the direction where Officer Mu was looking, we were also stunned by what we saw. Because, just in front of us, there was a large area on the ground not far away.
A lot of blood!
Although in this dark cave, we can actually only see dry black marks on the ground, but due to the large area of the blood stains in front of us, coupled with the strong smell of blood that is constantly coming from there at the moment, we can still
Let us see at a glance that it is blood.
Officer Hu, who had a relaxed expression at first, became serious now. He dutifully blocked Lin Qianyi behind him, not wanting her, a girl, to see these horrific scenes.
For a moment, the surrounding air became solemn again. Although it was still unclear where the blood stains came from, everyone present probably knew that the blood stains that would appear here were probably the blood of the archaeological team members.
Officer Mu carefully walked to the pool of blood, reached out and touched the ground, and then said to us: "Judging from the degree of dryness, the blood here may have been half a day old."
"Half a day?" Officer Hu said in surprise, "Isn't that not long after the archaeological team called the police?"
Officer Mu nodded, and then said to the two of us: "Comrades, the situation inside may be very threatening. I suggest you go back first."
Lin Qianyi shook her head and said, "Don't worry, we will protect ourselves, but Officer Mu, don't you think something is wrong here?"
Hearing this, Officer Mu seemed to have thought of something. He glanced around and said, "Miss Lin, you mean the body?"
"That's right." Lin Qianyi frowned and pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Look at the amount of blood on the ground. Even if you take into account the amount of evaporation and penetration into the soil, the blood here is probably that of at least two people.
He came out, but we can’t see the body now, what’s going on?”
I said, "Did someone move the body away?"
Officer Hu said: "Remove the body? Who is so full that he even wants to move the body?"
I said: "Is it possible that those corpses disappeared on their own?"
When I said these words, the people around me suddenly became quiet. After a while, Officer Mu continued: "Forget it, let's move on. We will soon reach the archaeological team's camp. Maybe there,
What can we discover."
After finishing speaking, Officer Mu took the lead and continued to walk inside. This time, Officer Hu stopped talking nonsense and followed him attentively.
As for the two of us, Lin Qianyi glanced at the two people who had walked away, and whispered in my ear: "Sijiu, have your gun ready. If something happens later, don't hesitate to expose your identity, just shoot.
"
I nodded, put my hand into my arms, and was ready to draw my gun before following him.
After walking for about five minutes, the cave in front gradually opened up. The originally low cave roof suddenly rose up, and the narrow passages suddenly extended to the left and right, creating an underground village no less similar to the one we had visited before.
, and even an even bigger cave appeared in front of us.
And in this cave, a huge city suddenly appeared in front of us.
A deserted ancient city, with gray weathered walls, exotic-style pagodas, and low but well-proportioned houses. After thousands of years, the city has been largely destroyed. Even so, one can still imagine how spectacular and majestic it was back then.
Even though we were mentally prepared, Lin Qianyi and I still couldn't help but open our mouths when we visited this ancient city for the first time. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have thought that in the heart of an extinct volcano,
How could there be such an amazing ancient city hidden in it?
This ancient city is large enough to house nearly ten thousand people. It is really puzzling why a once glorious kingdom would build such a huge city in this extinct volcano.
At this time, Officer Mu pointed to an area on the edge of the ancient city and said to us: "You two, that is the temporary base of the archaeological team. Let's go there first and take a look."
The place that Officer Mu was pointing to was right next to the ancient city wall, where a modern camp with a completely different style from the ancient city next to it was located.
According to Officer Mu, it was a temporary camp set up by the archaeological team to facilitate archaeological research. The entire camp was built using color steel plates. Although it was simple, it had all kinds of facilities, including conference rooms and lounges.
, dormitories, cultural relic restoration rooms, kitchens, toilets and bathrooms, power stations, etc. are all available.
However, before we entered the base, we already noticed something unusual. Officer Hu pointed to the camp and shouted in a trembling voice: "Black, black wood..."
Officer Mu also opened his mouth wide with a look of panic.
We saw that in that camp, several houses were emitting black smoke, as if there was a fire.
"You two, wait a minute, Lao Hu, come with me to have a look!"
Officer Mu checked the pistol in his hand and ran over with Officer Hu.
Lin Qianyi and I looked at each other, and instead of following Officer Mu's suggestion, we also chased after him.
But at this time, an ominous premonition emerged in my heart... It seems that this mission may not be as simple as originally expected.
After approaching the camp, an unexpected scene appeared in front of us. In short, it was as if a war had occurred here.
Everywhere in the camp, there were huge wounds where something had been smashed. Overturned equipment, smashed lights, broken windows, and black smoke rising from the windows could be seen everywhere.
The most chilling thing is the blood stains everywhere on the ground. Walking in the camp, you can even feel that the ground is a little sticky, as if the entire ground is soaked with blood.
Despite such a tragic situation, the camp was eerily quiet. Not long after walking inside, we suddenly heard Officer Hu’s exclamation. Lin Qianyi and I immediately followed the direction of the sound.
After running over.
I saw Officer Hu standing at the door of a house with a dormitory sign. He was completely unaware of our arrival and just stared blankly inside the house.
I asked him what was wrong, and Officer Hu pointed to the house.
We walked over and took a look, and we were both stunned by a strong impact.
What's going on? What on earth is happening here?
I could never have imagined that the scene in front of me would turn out to be a reality. I saw that inside this dormitory, it was like a hell on earth, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.
Some of these corpses had their throats slit, some had their heads smashed with heavy objects, and some had their stomachs disemboweled and their internal organs pulled out.
"Is it, is it too late? We are too late..." Officer Hu held his head and wailed.
At this time, Officer Mu ran over from the other side. He saw us standing at the door of the dormitory and said, "Hey, I found something here!" while running over, but when he saw us in the dormitory,
When I saw the scene, I was also stunned on the spot.
After a while, Officer Mu suddenly said something that we couldn't understand: "Here, are the archaeologists here?"
Officer Hu came back to his senses, looked at him and said: "Heimu Mu, who are we not the archaeological team here? Look at those people lying on the ground, we talked to them a few weeks ago!"
"But, but..." Officer Mu hesitated for a while and said, "If the people here are archaeological team members, then whose body does it belong to over there in the kitchen?"
